WHAT THE BADGER
SOLONS ARE DOING
TELEGRAPHIc NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
PARTY PAYS HIS EXPENSES
Stephenson Supporter Tsstifies in
Senate Committee Investigation
Kept Madison Head
quarters.

Madison-C. G. Wayland, a Stephen
son supporter, explained to the sena-
torial investigation committee Friday
that his expenses in Madison during
the senatorial deadlock amounting to
$215 were paid by Republican State
Chairman F. A. Edmonds.
Wayland kept open what was called
the headquarters" at the Park hotel.
He answered correspondence, inter-
viewed people, etc. He did not pay
any money to any member of the leg
islature or promise to pay anybody, he
said.
The examination then shifted to the
election of Isaac Stephenson on March
q. Wayland was asked as to his con-
versation with Assemblyman Towne
before the joint ballot was taken. He
admitted calling Towne out and that
he asked him if he was going to stay
in the joint convention. Towne in
formed the witness that he was dis
gusted and that he'd be roasted"
whether he stayed or went out. Towne
told the witness about client of Jim"
Stones having mortgage on his prop
erty, and that he CTowne) was being
pressed to make payment.
Wayland told Towne where he could
get loan. Further questions brought
out the fact that Wayland kept Towne
out of the joint assembly by "conyer-
sational' methods as a means of reduc-
ing the total number on the joint bal
lot. Wayland said he had been told
by Edmonds that if anybody thought
Stephenson was to win out by bribery,
they were barking up the wrong tree"
and further, that if anybody asked for
money, he was to be Shown up"
R. c. Falconer, sergeant-at-arms of
the state senate, left for Washington
Friday to subpoena United States Sen
ator Isaac Stephenson and R. H. Sack
EFT to appear before the senate investi-
cation committee.

SOME BANK CHANGES
LOCAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
HERE OF SOME IMPORTANT
CHANGES.

Following the visit here few weeks
ago of former well known business
man and capitalist of Arkansas. who
took fancy to Ardmore, there are
rumors of some changes in one of the
local banks of the city.
The gentleman mentioned will bring
with him to Ardmore 100000 in cash,
and on good authority it is learned
that he will enter the banking bust
ness here on broad and liberal scale.
He is known to be one of the best
town builders in the country. and is
willing to take a chsrce. along with
those of lesser means. and has always
been found ready and willing to do all
that is possible to advance the inter
ests of the city where he resides.

what slimy filamentous growth could
be considerably checked and general
conditions improved by the application
of one and one-quarter pounds of cop
per sulphate to each million gallons
OF water In the lake. This quantity

to fish or any other animals.
The sample from the city reservoir
contains only some disorganized vege-
table matter, and II is impossible for
me to determine from this sample
what is causing the trouble in that
particular supply. 1t is probable that
this organic matter in the sample Is
the residue OF certain blue-green algae,
and II this is the case the application
OF about two pounds of copper sui
phate to each million gallons of water
would be OF considerable benefit. II
might be well to try such treatment

ESCAPE.

Nairobi, British East Africa, Friday, Sept.
II, l9O3-3Ir. Cresswen, q government en-
giueer in the Public Works Department at
Nyeri,, came into Nairobi this afternoon and
brought word that Mr.. Roosevelt had a very
narrow escape when he shot his first ele-
plant bull. When shooting elephants it is
often necessary to creep into the herd and
shoot the S lected bull at II range of fifteen
to thirty yards.
Mr.. Roosevelt, accompanied BY Mr.. Gun
ninghamo, a big game hunter and guide,
followed this procedure and killed his ele-
phaut at the second shot. Suddenly, be
fore Mr.. Roosevelt could reload, another
elephant bull charged him ut close range
from the herd. Both Mr.. Cunuiughame and
Mr.. Roosevelt got behind trees and Mr..
Cunninghana fired and turned the bull from
Mr.. Roosevelt Just in time. Other reliable
sources confirm the account Of Mr.. Roose-
veljs marrow escape.
DR.. William Lord Smith and two I'M
plnions have left for Kapiti Plains after
lions. They hi re been out here about three
months, collecti.g near Keniah and in the

COOKS OLD CHIEF CONFID ENI
IN HIM.

Brussels, Monday.-Commander Adrion
de GerIach, q celebrated Belgian explorer,
who was Dir. Cooks chief IN the Belgian
Antarctic expedition in 1897 on the Bel
gica, has arrived in Brussels. Discussing
the Cook Peary controversy with me yester-
day, Commander Gerlach said =
''Few men have impressed me so much
as Dr. Cook as being endowed with those
rare qualities, initiative, pluck, endurance
and resolution, qualities which | was able
to appreciate during the difficulties and
dangers he had to face in the course of
Our polar imprisonment during the year
1897. DR.. Cook, therefore, possesses all
the moral qualities necessary for the &C
complishmeut of the feat which he claims
to have achieved.
Observations an Easy MATTER.
"As to the SPECIAL knowledge required
to manipulate the instruments necessary
for astronomical observations, he cou d
have easily acquired it. The determine
ton Of the appcp innate latitude, for with
the phenomena of polar refraction, precisely
ma. hematical results are impossible, does
not require any particular skill, 1t can be
accomplished by any one with some practice.
eve shall soon know the results Of these
Observations and calculatiors, but the
question will then arise whether they in
themselves constitute material and decisive
proof Of his presence at the pole.
'Personally, / shall believe in the truth
of DR.. Cooks story until the contrary is
proved. aud such contrary proof, it seems
to me, is almost impossible to furnish.
Believes in Peary Also.
'What do think of Commander Peary's
narrative p
Il think, like DR.. Cook, he reached the
pole or was Within an ace of the goal. He
was prepared for his trip in a marvellous
manner. His route was mapped out and
l was so convinced that he would achieve
his ideal that when he reached 81 de-
grees /, CONCENTRATING him, predicted this

Machine a Perfect Glider.
"Our machine is a perfect glider, for 1T
was built for gliding long before we were
able to fit it with a motor. Personally L
am not very much in favor Of flying over
cities, for although it.is safe with a good
machine and a skilled pilot, it is to be fear
ed that men lacking in skill will make
similar attempts, and accidents will ensue.
We shall have such rigorous Legislation that
flights Will be made almost impossible ex-
