AGED 70; WILL START ALL OVER
Near Octogenarian Is Soon to Wed
and Begin Life Anew

West Orange, N. AT the age of
70 years, with a grown family to his
credit and a job of 40 years standing in
his grip, Silas Ball, who lives on
Watching avenue, has announced that
he was going to throw all aside and
start life anew-get married and start
in the cobbling business for himself, a
trade at which he had worked half
his life. Miss Ella jenkins of South
Tenth street, Newark, is the bride-to-
be. She is many years his junior.
Mr.. Ball makes light of his years.
He says he feels as young as he ever
did and he might as well get married
again-his first wife died two years
ago-as any of 1.-THE younger fellows. F"
He is in no haste about the matter,
however. Next summer is the time set
for the wedding, and in the meantime
he will start in business neW his
home.
He has a family of three children
and five grandchildren, two of the chill
dren making their homes with him.
They have not offered any objection
to the coming event.
Ball is a veteran of the civil war,
and was wounded three times in the
service

it's third annual convention at 11:3(
O'Clock last night, the Wisconsin
Union of the American Society Of
Equity elected the following officers
President, Thomas Emmerton, Bloom
err; president, C. N. Luce, Eth

Madison; treasurer, George o. Moen
Madison. Directors, H. N. Ware, Chip

Marathon.
Mr. Emmerton has been president
since the organization of the state
branch of the society, three years ago
He now enters upon his fourth term
having the confidence of the members
in remarkable degree.
The principal object accomplished
at the closing session of the conven
ton was the adoption of a resolution
establishing pool for all farm pro
ducts. During the past year the to
bacco department of the union has
conducted a pool with eminent sue
cess. Yesterdays action calls for the
requirement that all members of the
state union be required to handle all
their farm products through pool
and that those who do not wish to
pool or handle their products through
the society shall be required to pay a
certain per cent. to the society. If any
refuse to do this they shall be sus
pended from the society.
A further important action taken
was a vote that the pool is not to be
started unless the board Of directors
ascertain that it can be properly of
ficered and financed, and that when
once it is started there shall be ad
vanced to the men selected to man
age the pool so per cent. of the mar
ket price of the products when pooled
The selection of the manager of the
pool and all other details will rest with
the board of directors. They will or.
ganize the pool at the earliest posi-
Bile moment, and their plans will then
be announced in the Wisconsin Equity
News.

DEATH REVEALS
SECRET Of SEX
MYSTERY OF SAMMY" WILLIAMS
OF MONTANA DISCLOSED
ON DEMISE.
TILTED IN HER YOUNGER DAYS
Adopted Masculine Attire and Amassed
Great Wealth Without Her
Real Sex Ever Being
Suspected.

Eau Claire, Wis-The mystery OF
Sammy" Williams, resident of Man
haitian, Mont, for Is years, who
dropped dead there from apoplexy,
was disclosed by her death. Sammy
was found to be a woman. who was
Miss Ingeborge Wekan.
Miss Wekan was born in Norway
some 80 years ago, it is claimed; some
say later. Before she came to Amer
lea with her parents she was courted
by young Norwegian, Sven Norem,
and the two became engaged. Then
the Wekan family came to America
and settled in Allamakee county, Iowa,
where some members of the family
still reside, and IngebOrge came with
them.
And Sven Norem came also. Not
long after the arrival in America Sven
Norem became cold and distant to In
geborge and finally Tilted her for some
reason not known, and she was broken
hearted. In fact, she was so heart
broken that she could not endure it to
stay with her folks and among her &C
quaintances, and she suddenly disap
peared, and although she was sought
high and low she was not found.
About this same time, somewhere
around 1856 or 1860, there appeared in
Eau Claire a short, rather thick set
young man with coal black hair and
smooth face, which he never shaved
His voice was rather soft and piping,

WHAT THE BADGER
SOL0NS ARE DOING
TELEGRAPHIc NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
TAKING CARE WITH BILLS
More Supervision of Proposed Legisla-
tion-society of Equity Elects
Officers and Plans Farm
Products Pool.

Madison, Jan. 16.--Notable and ad-
vanced ground is being taken by the
Wisconsin legislature at the session
just begun, especially in the matter of
supervision of promised legislation.
Just before adjournment was taken
on Thursday it was decided to limit
the introduction of new bills-except
those from comMittees-to February
6. 1t also was decided to send all
bills introduced before January 25 to
a. revision committee.
A joint committee of both houses
is now holding occasional sessions
and it is expected this committee on
Tuesday will report in favor of limit
ing the session to 100 days. 1t is also
possible that Friday and Saturday
sessions will be determined upon,
many members from distant districts
favoring more frequent meetings and
consequent earlier adjournment.
Both houses have pending before
them joint resolution providing for
the appointment of a special commit
tee to draft bills in accordance with
the recommendations in the governor S
message. This, if passed, would ex-
pedite legislation and turn over the
drafting of most of the important
measures to this committee. The
committee will have the help of the
legislative reference library, with all
it's facilities for turning out "consti-
tutional' bills about which there is
less chance of misconstruction than
with the ordinary measure drafted by
the individual member or enthusiast.
The joint resolution demanding an
investigation of the primary election
expenses of senatorial candidates will
come up in the senate on Tuesday, but
beyond a little debate it will occasion
no action. In the assembly the reso
luton was referred to the committee
on elections and there it probably will
stay, unless developments of an I'M
expected nature cause it's resuscita
ton.
Only the introduction Of new bills
will be possible next week in the as
sembly under resolution adopted
on Thursday, and this will preclude
the possibility of any legislative
muses. until after next week. Oh
the bills to come in next week, minor
measures, many of them providing fol-
the construction of bridges, will form
the larger part.

WISCONSIN HAPPENINGS TOLD
BY TELEGRAPH.
LA CROSSE CASE DECIDED
important Ruling by the Railroad
commission-Fire Marshal's Re-
port Gross Receipts Of
Principal Post OFFICES.

Madison, Jan. 1S.-By denying the
petition of Alderman c.. F. Lang of
La Crosse, the railroad commission to-
day held that it canot authorize either
The construction or extension of any
electric railroad within city, or pre-
the abandonment or change of loca-
ton of any such road constructed un
der a franchise granted by the COM
mon council, if the councils consent
thereto has been obtained"
The significance of this decision lies
in the fact that the commission de
cides that it has no veto power over
the acts of common council in con
senting to the abandonment of part
of a street railway or it's relocation
within the corporate limits.
Several years ago the La Crosse
Street Car Company laid tracks on
Market street, but because the line
was not paying, applied to the com
mon council and secured leave to take
up the line and move it to another
portion of the city. Alderman Lang
attempted to restrain the company
from taking up the track by applying
to the commission for restraining or
der. He claimed the removal of the
tracks would deprive the citizens who
wished to go to the Catholic cemetery
of adequate service. The briefs filed
in the case were rather bitter. Paul
w. Mahoney, appearing for Mr. Lang,
declared that almost one-third of the
population of La Crosse were Roman
Catholics and entitled to some con
sideration. City Attorney John E
Doherty, a leading Catholic of the
state, in defending the action of the
common council, asserted he should
know something about the Catholics
since l have remained true to the
faith of my fathers"

receipts of the principal post offices
OF the state for the calendar year 1908,
