THE TIGERS PREY.
How His Taste Changes-Ferocity Of the
Maneater

In the intervals Of rest and recreation
which Mr.. Rees doubtless allows himself
he may do worse than give his most at.
tentive consideration to certain facts
mentioned by a writer in the current
number of the Indian Forester bearing
upon the evolution of the forest tigers
taste, first for cattle and then for hG
man meat.
When tired of the monotony of the
menu provided by deer or wild pig the
forest tiger develops a taste for domestic
cattle, and then its modus operand is
very interesting study. The venue is
changed from deep forest to cattle breed
ing area, where the tiger leisurely car
ries on its depredations until shOt-an
operation which, however it might shock
Mr.. Rees, is one of the most benehcent
acts of the sportsman.
AS the writer in the Indian Forester
says, the transition from cattle Staying
| to man Staying is not a great step
! Where cattle abound human beings are,
and once the tiger has tasted human
meat it develops an extraordinary pas
sion for it. And so it must have It's
daily feed. It goes anywhere in search
| of food.
Many years ago a tiger swan the
| Rangoon river, nearly a mile in wldtA
and landed in the heart of the locality
crept under the raised floor Of Bur
man hut and was promptly slaughtered
About six years ago a large tiger, was
observed on the platform of the ShTe
Dogan pagoda at Rangoon and was Sa l

purpose. The superstitious Burmese al
tributed the outbreak of plague in Kan Kan

Strike of Machinists in San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept 20
William Buckley, convicted of the muir
der of George w. Rice in this city dur
ing the machinists' strike in October,
1901, was sentenced by Judge Lawler
to be hanged at San Quentin on Novem-
Der 10. Buckley was sentenced to death
twice previously for the same crime, but
each time the execution was delayed by
appeals, all of which were overruled.
The records in his case were destroyed
in the great fire of 1906, and before pro-
nouncing sentence Judge Lawler re-
ceived legal proof that the prisoner be-
fore him was the same man who killed
Rice.

Meanwhile confidence reigns. Secre-

were last year. The following state
ruents were made on Friday night:

Il believe the receipts will be $4,000 in

President Taft, clear skies and the
school children Of Milwaukee and its
suburbs made the final day one Of sue
cess. 1t was the final day that actually
sweIied the state fair receipts in sutti-
.cient measure to permit of a surplus.
The day brought out approximately 9oOO
school children. Total attendance on
Friday was 27,564, or 1888 more than
one year ago.
New Land Is Next.
The members of the board of agricul-
lure who are opposing the purchase Of
the Fleming tract east Of the fair
grounds for which $4,000 was appro-
priated by the Legislature, and who are
now trying to divert the appropriation
of the purchase Of land not suitable for
the purpose for which the appropriation
was secured were shocked to receive
yesterday a notice from Senator Hud-
nall, chairman of the claims committee,
TO the effect, that the agreement made
ny the board of agriculture calls for the
purchase of the Fleming land, and by
this agreement the board of agriculture
Is not authorized to divert the appropria-
zion and apply it to the purchase of
other land.
Senator HudnalI said the board would
have to buy the Fleming land or none
at all.
The additional acres are desired for
the purpose of erecting new speed barns
to be placed beside the grand stand,
and to remove the present speed barns
from the gate entrance to make room
for new terminals which are essential
for the success of the fair.

RACINE. Wis, Sept. 20-[Special.]
1t is probable that the special election
called for Tuesday at Corliss will not
be held for the reason that attorneys
for T. J. Burns at that place have APP
piled for an injunction to restrain the
holding of the election on the ground
that it is illegal because the question
was submitted to the people year ago
and voted for 5000 license fee, which
settles the question for three years, it is
claimed.

Attendance and Make Week
Success.
NEW LAND AND BARNS ARE NEXT.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 1S.-Al-
most Immediately after the closing Of
the state fair of 1909, shortly after 10
o'clock Friday night, both President
George AIcKerrow of the state board OF
agriculture and Secretary John M. True
said that the event had resulted in
financial balance.
The attendance of 1909 was more than
1900 under that of 1908. However,
the number of passes issued, the number
of exhibitors and a variety of other mat
.ters might alter attendance figures. In
the estimation of officials the cash re-
ceipts of 1909 will exceed those of last
year.
Nothing definite can be made known Of
the balance attained until an official cast
ing up of books has been made. The
board will probably not have it's financial
report ready for two weeks.

BANK DEPOSITS.
M. C. BERGH WILL MAKE TRIP,
Banking Commission and Bankers Asso-
citation Have Been Invited to
Accompany Them.
TO BE THERE DURING FAIR WEEK

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 2O.-[Special.
A visit to the state of Oklahoma for 9
thorough study of the new law for the
guarantee of bank deposits will be made
next week by the special committee on
banking of the Wisconsin Legislature,
consisting of Senators Walter G. Owen,
Maiden Rock: r. G. Martin, Darlington,
and James A. Wright, Merrill; and As
semblyman T.. G. Whittet, Edgerton; O.
A. Crowell, Almond; Platt Whitman,
Highland, and William Reader, Amigo
Make Thorough Study.
Oklahoma is the only state which has
in operation such a law as is contemplate
ed for Wisconsin, hence the importance
the committee attaches to a thorough
study of it's workings. Kansas and Ne
braska have enacted such laws, but their
operations at present are tied up by in
functions. Texas and South Dakota have
also adopted such laws, but they have
not yet gone into operation.
On invitation of the committee, Com
missioner of Banking M. Q. Bergh. viii!
accompany the committee on its trip OF
study and investigation, and it is posi-
BILE there will be a delegation from the
Wisconsin Bankers association, as the
committee has invited the association to
appoint a delegation of three members
for that purpose. About the middle OF
this week @. w. Rhodes, secretary OF the
committee, will go to Oklahoma and will
arrange with the merchants, manufacture
ers, bankers, brewers and other repre-
sentatives Of industries to appear before
the committee during the week of the
Oklahoma state fair, which will be held
in Oklahoma City from September II to
October 1.
There During Fair Week.
The committee will probably leave
Madison for Oklahoma next Sunday. II
is felt that it will be most effective and
economical to visit the state during the
time of the fair, when most Of the promi-
nent people of the new commonwealth
will be met together. AS there is consid-
cradle difference of opinion as to the
value and effectiveness of the law IN
Oklahoma itself, the measure will be
thoroughly studied from many points OF
view, and if thought advisable the
committee will also visit the other prln-
cipal cities of the state.
Interesting in connection with trip is
the fact that Wisconsin society in Okla
homa will observe September 30 at the
state fair as Wisconsin day, and the
secretary of the society has sent special
invitation to the Wisconsin committee
and delegation to participate in this cele'
hratiOn,
