best methods of growing their crops.
The entire cropping system of the
farms at. the state industrial school
for boys at Waukesha, at the North
ern hospital for the insane, Winneba-
go, and at the home for dependent
children at Sparta, has been placed
under the direction of the university
experiment station, and rotation has

RECEIVERS REAL STONES.
Diamonds Stolen From G. A. BIoss by
Alfred Held Returned by Woman.


Chief of Police Bowling of Oshkosh
received a letter from an unknown
woman, who signed herself "An Out
cast Girl" in which were inclosed two
diamonds which the writer said were
the property of George A. Bloss, a
travelling salesman, whose grips were
stolen from the depot here some time
ago by Alfred Held.
At the time of the theft Bloss stated
there were two small diamonds in
the grip that was stolen. When Held
was arrested charged with the theft
the diamonds were recovered, but
were pronounced not genuine by a
jeweler. In the letter to Chief Dow
ling the unknown girl stated that
Held told her that he had removed the
genuine diamonds from their settings
and replaced them with paste stones
so that if he were caught the SEN
tence passed upon him by the court
would be lessened by reason of the
low value of the goods taken.
The girl stated in her letter that
when Held felt that he was being
watched by the police he gave the
genuine stones to her. Held was SEN
fenced to one year at Waupun.

UNIVERSITY GETS 100000.
Senate Finally Agrees Upon Appro-

priation for State Institution.
The university appropriation, as fix
ed by the senate bill after an all-day
session of the upper house, is the
form in which the bill will pass the
legislature The university receives
over s1,00O,0OO for general purposes.
The amounts of the income for the
coming year will be:
Appropriations from the general
fund of the state equal to a tax
OF two-sevenths of a mill on the
assessed valuation oof the state. sos, 600
Direct appropriation for the pur-
chase of books and apparatus. $4,000
Annual appropriation for seven
years for construction purposes. 200, 00O
Appropriation for 1909 for univer-
sity extension work ....... So 900
Appropriation to meet transfers of
funds until this years appro
priations are available ........ 200, 600
Appropriation for experimental
work at the agricultural college. 80, 600
Tie appropriation for university ex-
tention work is to be increased to
$4,000 next year. Senator Gaylord
made an effort to have this appro-
priation placed at 100000 for each
year during the coming biennial Pc
Rod, but the amendment offered on
this subject by Senator Sanborn was
lost on a tie vote, with Lieut.. Gov.
Strange voting against the amend
ment The appropriation of 100000
to meet the loans from the general
fund is to be a rotating proposition
and will practically allow the univer-
sity to overdraw on the general fund
this amount until such a time as the
university is in a position to adjust
is finances to the fiscal years OF the
state.
While the appropriation is not the
amount desired by the university Off
Gals, it is believed it will care for
the university needs. It may delay
the building Of the mems dormitory,
but the new biological laboratory will
be constructed at once.-W.
