A Somnambulistic Cook

A STILL remarkable IS given in An
Account of Jane c. Rider, the Springfield Som
nanbust, published by G. & c. Merriam in 1884.
In this quaint little volume IS very careful and
scientific analysis of the studies made of this young
woman. She farmers daughter who
ploved domestic in well to do FAM, about
1925.
At first she startled the family good deal by
night proving Then she took to rising In the
middle of the night and unless walked would go
down stairs and with no light or only the dimmest
lights that the investigators required would pre-
pare breakfast. She would go through every detail
with perfect precision, absolutely unmindful of the
other people, then when the family failed to appear,
would often weep and wake, completely dazed.
She displayed mental powers far in excess of those
possessed naturally and wrote while asleep, some
remarkable letters to aunt, using simple true
statements of her everyday life for the basis.
Like the rest of the carefully studied cases, she
suffered much in physical health, as people ire
quentlv do who are much under the influence of
hypnotism Similarly she had recollection,
upon waking of any of the incidents of conversation
of her state; but, like hypnotic subject, would
recall the facts of previous states when again sleep
walking.

TRIBUTE TO COL. Villas
SUPREME COURT HOLDS MEMORIAL
EXERCISES.
Justice Bashford and Judge J. G. Jenkins
Extol Virtues of Former
Senator.

MADISON, Wis, JAN 5.-[Special.1-
Memorial exercises for the late William
+. Villas were held in the supreme court
this morning. A memorial OF the Dane
county bar was presented by former JUS
tice r. NJ Bashford of Madison on the
part of the committee composed of him
self, Burr w. Jones and George w.
Bird. A memorial of the state bar was
presented by Judge J. J. jenkins of Mil
waukee and the reply of the court was
made by Justice Dodge. Pliny Norcross
of GAINESVILLE also paid tribute to the abill-
ty and character of Col Villas which
concluded the exercises of the morning.
The services were attended mostly by
lawyers. DIR. Charles Villas, brother OF
the late Col Villas, was present.
Former Justice Bashford told in glow
ing term of the noble character of Col
Villas. He recounted his numerous serV-
ices to both the state and the nation,
dwelling particularly upon labors in be-
half OF education. lie spoke OF the work
that the late Col. Villas had done III
codifying the statutes of Wisconsin and
placed that labor among the most I'M
portant that had been done by any man
for any state. In conclusion he said
William +. Villas was cast and tenn
pered in no common mold, and in every
relation of life measured up to the full
stature of a great man. Nature and
training qualified him for the highest
service as a citizen, in his profession and
in the public stations to which he was
called, and his whole life was devoted
to enobling pursuits for the upbuldlng
of society and for the permanent adj
vancement Of mankind. His memory
will be cherished as long as our lnstltu-
lions shall endure and his laborS and
sacrifices will serve as a constant lnt1u-
ence for better thoughts, better words
and better deeds to the generations who
shall share in his bounty and move for
ward upon the benehcent foundations he
has so generously provided"
Judge Jenkins contributed the follow
ing:
HE was a statesman, broad minded
and liberal. devoted to those principles
of government which he deemed essen
tial to the welfare of the country and
nothing to political eXpediency.
HE was not of the type of man who
deemed legislation the sovereign cure for
the ills of the state. He went rather
to the roots of the disease and sought
to incucate the true principle OF self
government which alone could eradicate
the evil He did not believe in pater-
nalism in government. He sought and
agitated restraining will power more eff
fective than compulsory repression. lie
sought to teach men lf-government-
to govern self by correct principles as
the true basis of independent, manly,
American citizenship. He could not
pander to the howlings of the mob. He
appealed to reason-not to the hysterical
forces of the hour, and so when fever
had spent it's forces, and reason re-
sumed it's sway he was acknowledged
a real friend of the people, teaching at
tachment to principle and obedience to
law as the surest safeguard from An
archy and disaster"

OIL CASE NOT DROPPED
FAMOUS ACTION MAY SOON BE
RETIRED.
Fine May Amount to $40,000,O00 if De
PENDANT Is Convicted on Every
Indictment.

= CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-"The Stand
ard Oil company is not yet out of the
woods"
With these words, United States Dis
trict Attorney Sims today made his hrse
comment on yesterdays ruling of the SUI
preme court which prevents are govern
ment from collecting Judge Lands Ia
nous $29, 100000 fine.
''The big fine case will be re-docketed
within few days." said Mr.. Sims and
may be on trial within two weeks.
The district attorney explained that
even by fning the Standard Oil COM
pany on a basis of settlements for freight
instead of regarding each a carlot as
a separate offense, the government may
collect $4O,O0O,0OO from the oil company
in fines if convictions are obtained on all
indictments which may be renewed
against the corporation.
1t is stated that since the supreme
court gives no reasons for its denial Or
an application for certiOrarl 1t is I'M
possible to surmise what reasons were IN
the mind of the court, and it is well
understood that the denial OF writ is
not to be taken as indicating any I'M
preston of the court ON the merits OF
case. II the result of a new trial were
the acuuittal of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, that would be the END
of the matter. If, on the other hand,
it should be convicted again. the case
would then be taken in the regular
course on it's appeal, to the circuit court
of appeals and ultimately to the supreme
cOurt

THE PRINCESS HAPPY.
Anna Gould That Was and Her High
Titled Consort Rejoicing Over
Bonis Defeat.

PARIS, ian. 5.-Prncess de Sagan is
one of the happiest women in Paris as
the result of Judge LIE Berguier's de-
cision that she shall retain the custody
of her children. Now that the suit is
settled, she is planning to go to Biarritz
to spend month or so with the prince
for rest and avoid the present bad
weather in Paris.
Il could not believe the case would end
any other way" she said, "and yet one
never is sure. The only change from
affairs as they now are, is that the two
older children will be sent to school.
That l had planned to do anyway, and |
had picked out the school. 1t is an in
stitution near Rouen, that is admirably
conducted.
Count de Castellane has said [ do not
give the children enough money to spend.
All l know is that l have given them
twice as much as | had when | was a
girl; but in this school they are allowed
only 20 cents week"
That's hardly enough" interrupted
the prince, smiling. "When | was at
school l used to want bits of chocolate
with my breakfast: They can't buy
chocolate with that"
''It is a rule of the school," resumed
the princess, land if they want choco-
late, We'll smuggle them in a box now
and then. 1t is an exceptionally good
school. OF course, they will not go there
until next year. When l go to Biarritz
| shall take them all with me.
81 believe l have to ask Castellane's
consent to do this. but if he refuses, the
Judge undoubtedly will give his consent.
CasteIIane has acted like a coward in
this matter. Nobody but a Frenchman
would attack a woman. That is why l
am so happy over having won the case.
II telegraphed by brother George at
once. He will be happy. Now, how
ever. that the boys have to be brought
hope oI they will grow up and marry
Americans. The Castellanes, of course,
will try to get them married to French
women

Manitowoc Councilmen Favor Law Civ
ing Public Service Companies
Privilege

MANITOWOC, Wis, Jan. 5.-[Spe-
cial. IA law which will permit public
service company to establish a minimum
charge for service was endorsed by the
city council last night when the draft
of such a bill was submitted by the
city attorney The council authorized an
appropriation for the purpose of sending
out circulars and communicating with
other cities in an effort to secure support
for the bill which Will be presented to
the Legislature and personal letter win
be forwarded to Gov. Davidson, asking
his support of the measure. The move
ment results from the recent decision of
the railroad rate commission permitting
the gas company here to install a service

that with minimum charge the corpora
tons will be satisfied without a service
charge.
