Senator James A. Wright, of this
city, who is a member of the special
committee on banking of the Wis
consin Legislature, will start Sunday
evening for the state of Oklahoma to
make thorough study of the new
law for the guarantee of bank deposits.
The committee consists of three state
senators and four assemblymen.
Oklahoma is the only state which
has in operation such law as is CON
templated for Wisconsin, hence the
Importance the committee attaches to
a thorough study of its workings. Kan
sas and Nebraska have enacted such

present tied up by injunctions. Texas
and South Dakota have also adopted
such laws, but they have not yet gone
into operation. Merrill News.

A CASE OF CHAMBERS.

About week ago VIM. Roeder, who
lives near Rib river up near the town
line between Stettin and Berlin, dis
covered that two of his horses were
sick and he summoned G. A. Mills, V.
S. The doctor, after looking the
horses over, decided that they were
suffering from CHAMBERS, an incurable
disease. II brought the horses to
this city and notified the state yeter-
inarian's office, and on Friday DIR. w.
A. Walcott of Madison, an assistant
to DIR. Roberts, state veterinarian,
came here and gave orders to have the
animals killed. The state will allow
Mr.. Roeder two-thirdS the value OF
the horses, limited TO certain
amount %. The law does not
provide commensurate amount.
The team in this instance was worth
s400.
Chambers is the worst disease 9
horse is subject TO. 1t is communica
BILE to the human family and is fata
to both. 1t has made great inroads
in droves of animals in some sections
and is feared by every horseman.
These two cases are the first TO bt
reported in this county, so far a:
known. The balance of Mr.. Roeder':
horses will be watched TO see that n(
more cases develop, and Mr.. Mills vii

DRESS CAUGHT FIRE.
A Town Of Ringle Child Is 80 Badly
Burned That it Dies Few
Hours Later.

A sad fatality occurred Thursday
on the John Di1tbrender farm in the
!. town of Ringle. The farm is situated
a half mile south of the town line
road in section three, or about three
miles north of the village of Ringle.
For several days Mr.. Dittbrender and
his aged father, who makes his home
with his son, had been clearing land,
piling up stumps and logs and burn
| ing them, so that plow could be put
on the land in the spring. On Thurs
day Pauline, the four-year-old daugh-
ter of the younger man, was playing
about one of the burning piles, the
men being at work some distance
away. The men were startled by
scream and upon looking in the direc-
tion from whence it came, saw the
little one wrapped in flames and run
ming toward them. They hastened to
remove her clothing and in doing SO
each had his hands severely burned
The child was picked up and FASTENED
to the home and a physician sum-
moned, but it was plainly evident
that the child could not survive its
burns. The only thing that could be
done was to relieve its sufferings until
Death should claim her as his own
The little one, after suffering excruci-
ating pain, passed into unconscious
ness and died at about midnight The
funeral was held Saturday afternoon,
interment being made in the Dutch
settlement cemetery in the town of
Easton.

BANK ROBBERS CAUGHT.

The Monday following the attempt
ed robbery of the bank at Athens two
tough looking strangers entered the
village of Greenwood in Clark county
and went into saloon and called for
drinks. They deposited grip in a
back room. They went out of the
saloon for a short time and left the
grip, and number of men who were
in the place at the time, and who had
heard of the crime, became suspicious
and opened the grip. They found it
to contain set of burglars tools,
nitroglycerine and things usually
carried by cracksman. When the
men returned they were arrested and
locked up, but during the night one
of them broke jail and escaped.
Officers in other towns were notified
te be on the lookout and the follow
ing night the escaped robber was cap
tured at Merrillan and both were
taken to Neillsville and placed in the
county jail. The men gave their
names as Jas. Kennedy and Ed. Rand.
One carried a "A caiibre revolver, the
other .38. Both are bad looking
scoundrels and one has large scar on
his chin, presumably an old gun shot
wound. An attempt was made to
photograph them, but they proved
themselves facial contortionists and
the effort of the photographer was a
failure 1t is said that there is a
standing reward of $7OO for the cap
ture of Kennedy because of another
burglary he was implicated in.
Undersheriff Frank O'Connor went
over to Neillsyille and sized up the
prisoners. He examined their backs
and found fresh shot wounds, which
would go to show that they were the
men fired at on the yelocipede at
Milan the morning of the robbery.
The Neillsville authorities refused
to let the undersheriff bring the men
here, for the reason that they wanted
to investigate several recent robberies
in their county, four stores having
been burglarized in Owen on the
night of the l4th.

MANY GIFTS.
People interest Themselves in St.
Mary's Hospital

Last Thursday was the day desig-
mated by the patronesses of st. Mary's
| hospital Oh which donations would be
| received. to be used in assisting the
sisters in caring for the patients of
the Institution mentioned. The Office
OF the Wausau Gas Co. and the hos

would be accepted. At eyentide,
when an inventory had been taken, it
was found that $3.50 in poney, a
large quantity of jellies, towels, hot
water bottles, wheel chair, etc, had
been received.
A great many people visited the

Ieceived by Sisters Ambrosia and
Seraphine, the latter in charge of the
hospital. The donations were re-
ceiyed by a committee composed of
Mrs. A. Z. Morrison and Misses Bel
Murray, Helen Stewart and Grace
Livingston.
Other members of the auxiliary
conducted the visitors through the
institution. To many it was their
first visit, and they were surprised at
the size of the hospital and pleased at
the neatness of it and the care and
precision exercised in ministering to
the wants of the patients.
The sisters, on the other hand, APP
preciated the interest manifested by
the visitors and express their thanks
for the many offerings from the pub
lie.
The Misses Dorothy Heinemann
