Lutte A. Taylor died at La Crosse
Tuesday morning, November IL,

fortieth year. He started

We think that question of remoy-
ing the state capitol to Milwaukee
would have been successfully re-

things" but for the fact of our fine
capitol building at Madison. Re
form" is the watch word and the
reformers are IN the ascendant.

II earnestly hope that the people
of this state will come forward now
and give the anti-tuberculosis move
ment their active cooperation and
support" the governor continues.
Wisconsin has always been lead
er in progressive work that has
meant the upbuilding of this nation
and its people, and there is, in my
opinion, no direction in which its
people can better concentrate their
efforts than in this great war.
From the report of the state
board of health we learn that $500
citizens of Wisconsin die each year
from consumption; that there are at
present 10000 men, women and
children suffering from this disease

sure US that tuberculosis is both
durable and preventable. Then
why is it not cured and prevented?
We are told that consumption can
be eradicated in Wisconsin in ten
years, provided that the people
learn the facts concerning the dis
ease and that suitable laws are
placed upon the statute books and
conscientiously enforced.
"The educational work carried on
by the Wisconsin nti-tuberculosis
association during the last ten
months has been done with money
procured from the sale of the penny
Christmas stamp last fall. Great
good has been accomplished and al
ready there has been a decrease in
the prevalence of the disease"

especially. Three million stamps
are to be sold this year and the as
sistance of every person in every
community is needed.
The schools will work to their ut
most to win the Aero vacuum clean
ing system donated as prizes by the
American Air Cleaning Co. of Mil
waukee. The prizes are worth
about 81 900 each and one will be
awarded to a school in the state and
the other to school in Milwaukee
for selling the largest number of
stamps in proportion to the popula-
ton or attendance, giving each an
equal chance.

Pierce County Farm Boys
To Study Agriculture

The following young men from
this county have registered for the
first years study of the IA weeks
Short Course at the College of Ag-
riculture, University of Wisconsin,
which opens December 4, at Madi-
son: Earl and Monroe Brown, of
Bay City.
Those who attended last year and
who are expected to return for the
second year work are: Will Brown
and H. o. Hanson, Spring Valley;
Geo. Dunbar and A. w. Martin,
River Falls; and Archie Neystrom,
Maiden Rock.
SHORT COURSE BETTER THAN EVER
The Short Course in Agriculture
has been ren1odeled this year to
make it of greater value to young
men who desire special training in
the science of agriculture. The
studies have been re-arranged so
that the work will be less burden
some and at the same time give
students an opportunity to select
those courses in which they are
most interested. A number of new
courses have been added including
poultry husbandry, farm manage
ment and business practice. The
work in live stock breeding, judg-
ing, feeding and care of animals,
has been strengthened and the fine
animals of the University herds of
horses, cattle, sheep and swine will
be available for class uses.
The course in live stock judging
will be better owing to the increased
facilities available in the new $751;
600 live stock pavilion just complet-
ed. Work with farm crops, soils
and in horticulture will be better
than ever. The instruction in ag-
ricultural chemistry and bacteriol-
ogy, veterinary science, agricultural
engineering and library practice is
offered with various Improvements
in instruction. Practical shop work
in blacksmithing and carpentry can
be taken by those who desire some
working knowledge of how to handle
wood and iron.
TRAINING IN AGRICULTURE PAYS
Short Course graduates are in de-
mand as assistants on stock farms
and in various other lines of agri-
culture. Those who have taken the
course report increased returns
from their farming as result of
added knowledge of best methods
to pursue. Many letters tell of how
the earning capacity Of the young
man has been increased many times
due to the Short course; % TO SIO
per month in many instances. The
value of the inspiration to better
farming cannot be measured. Every
farm boy who expects to get the
most out of his business, and who
cannot take longer course at the
Agricultural College should care
fully consider the advantages Of the
Short Course and decide at once to
enroll for the winters term which
opens December 4. Full particulars
and circulars may be had upon ap-
plication to Prof. D. H. Otis, Madi-
son, Wis.

WASHINGTON, Nov. r.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Postmaster General Hitchcock an
nounced today at the White House the
appointment of DR.. Charles P. Grandfield
of Missouri to be postmaster Of Washing
ton, to succeed the late Benjamin f.
Barnes. This announcement on its face
would not appear at first reading to have
any particular significance to residents
outside the District Of Columbia, but 1t
in reality affects in a measure the future
conduct Of every first-class postoffice of
the country because Postmaster General
Hitchcock proposes through DR.. Grandfield
[. inaugurate certain reforms In the man.
ner and method of handling city mall
which, II proved by actual experience in
Washington to be satisfactory, he will in
augurate in the larger cities of the coun-
try. simultaneous with the announcement
that DR.. Grandfield had been selected as
postmaster Mr. Hitchcock announced that
the city postoffice of Washington was to
be made a model postoffice for the entire
country. It is to be a pattern Of perfec-
ton for information and guidance Of post
masters and postal officials Of other cities.

SENTENCES GIVEN AT BASIN
Brink Gets Death for Murder, Which
Will Be COMMITTED.
TWENTY YEARS FOR TWO OTHERS
Keyes and Farris Go Free for
Their Evidence-Goodrieh's Mil
is burned by His
Enemies.

BASIN, wyo., Nov. A-(Special Tele-
grom.) -Sentences forecasted under the
agreement reached for a confession OF
the Spring creek raid murderers were
pronounced yesterday by Judge c. H..
Parmelee. There was no change except
Dixon and Eaton pleaded guilty to arson
and were given three years each.
Brink was sentenced to death. The sem
tence, however, will be mmu to life
imprisonment by Governor Brooks as the
result Of the compromise. Sabin and Alex
ander, members Of the party, we're SEN
fenced to twenty years in the p~enitentiary.
While the outcome Of the trial was sup
posed to settle all differences, much bitter
ness still exists. Report reached here to-
day Of the complete destruction wednes-
day night by fire of the saw mill on the
Ten Sleep owned by William Goodrich, a
principal witness in the Spring creek raid
murder trials. Goodrich declared Brink
and Dixon, both Of whom worked for him,
confessed their parts in the raid and that
Brink admitted shooting Allemand.
There was a dramatic scene in the court
room when Brink declared he did not kill
AlIemand. Il would not snoot a man with
his hands in the air" he said. An hour
previous in an interview with the Judge,
Brink said Fhrris. one Of the lnformers,
shot the flockmaster. Thomas Dixon said
he saw the sneepman die and that Farrls
fired the shot. Farris will get complete
immunity under promise Of the state, as
will Albert Keyes, who also confessed to
the grand jury and testified in the Brink
trial. The two latter were not in court to-
day, but will be arraigned later and freed.
Rewards aggregating $4,000 are to be
divided as a result of the convictions and
sentences. OF this SIS, 900 was offered by
Big Horn county and substantial amounts
by the state and the Wool Growers asso-
citation. Sheriff Felix Aston today said he
would return his share to the county be-
cause he is opposed to a salaried officer
accepting rewards. 1t Is expected the men
will reach the ~penitentiary at Rawlins Fri
day of next week to begin their sentences.
Sabin and Alexander are the only married
ones Of the prisoners and both are wealthy.
