Stomach Trouble Relieved.

NEARLY THREE CENTURIES OF WISCONSIN
The average citizen Of Wisconsin says
the Madison Democrat, is so much in
the habit of regarding this as campa-
rativeIy a new statei in the middle west,
that it doubtless will give him pause to
read that the State Historical society,
cooperating with It's local auxiliary,
the Green Bay Historical society, is
next week to celebrate at Green Bay
the two hundred and ,seventy-ffth an
niversary of the discovery of the state.
AS a matter of fact, Wisconsin - old,
as American commonwealth e.. The
pilgrim fathers had only bee,4 at Ply
mouth fourteen years, Maryland was
but a year old, and it w9s twelve
month before English settlers were
seen in either Rhode ] Stand or Con-
nectieut, when in 1884 Jean Nicolet set
foot in Wisconsin.
Nicolet was a prof assional explorer,
Injured to a wilderness life by years Of
practice in Indian villages, and was
sent cut by Governor Samuel de Cham
plain Of New France (the French name
for CanadaJ to discover new lands and
tribes upon the shores of the upper
great lakes. The truly romantic story
of his coming to Wisconsin of course is
familiar to all students Of Wisconsin
history Unfortunately, not all Of US
are as well versed in that history as
we should be.
This illustrates the value of observ-
ances of this character. We need them
as popular reminders of the fact that
American history abounds in interest
ing events, full of significance, and well
worthy of our remembrance. The
worlds fair at Chicago was a reminder
to millions Of us of the splendid age of
the discovery of the new world. To
the average man and woman, the facts
regarding the Louisiana purchase were
practically unknown until the St. Louis
exposition. The Portland fair made
known to other millions the eiFcum-
stances regarding the remarkable trans
continental journey of Lewis and Clark.
Today, hundreds of thousands, on ac-
count of the Seattle fair, are aware of
many things regarding Alaska Of which
they were ignorant few months ago.
Thus the celebration at Green Bay
will turn our thoughts gently back to
the beginnings of Wisconsin. The
names of Nieolet, Red Banks. Fort
Howard and Green Bay win have fresh
significance for us ALL We shall learn
that no state in the American union had
a more romantic beginning than our own;
that the two hundred years when our
land was under the old French regime
fairly pulsa.ed with interesting Incl
dent and glowed with warm color; and
that the old fort at Green Bay, as i'll
successfully flew the flags of France.
Great Britain and the United States,
a century and half Of his
tory, is one Of the most picturesque
landmarks in America.

The Action of a Spinet.

The spinet instrument was an I'm
provement upon what was known as
the clavichord, the tone of which. al
though weak, was capable. unlike that
Of the eharpsichord or spinet. of In
crease or decrease, rejecting the finest
gradations of the touch of the player
In this power of expression it was
without a rival until the piano was in
vented. The early history of the clavi-
chord previous to the fifteenth century
rests in profound obscurity, but it is
said that there is one bearing the date
1920 having four octaves without the
d sharp and G sharp notes The spinet
was the invention of the Venetian Spi.
Meta. The action is unique The in
strument is similar to small harpsi-
chord, with one string to each note.
The strings are set in vibration by
points of quilts elevated on wooden
uprights known as jacks, and the de-
preston of the keys causes the points
to pass upward. producing tone sim
liar to that of harp. Springs are used
to draw the quilts back into position.
The keyboard is arranged In manner
after the present modern piano.

Cricket Fighting.

Cricket fighting, a national sport IN
the Celestial Kingdom, is odd to see
Crickets are trained They are exer-
cised and dieted, and sdaily, before a
match, smaller, weaker crickets are OPP
posed to them that they may work out
for themselves good fighting systems.
In matches the betting is very high.
The Chinese, who are tremendous gam
blers, often lose fortunes over crickets,
as American millionaires lose fortunes
over race horses. A good cricket fight
will last half an hour. The opposing
crickets, each in tube like a box stall,
are dropped into ring with wall
around it about six inches high. A
combatant to win must throw his ri
val over this wall clean out of the ring.
Tiny bells are rung by the seconds.
These bells have peculiar timbre and
excite the crickets to very frenzy of
fighting. A cricket with good record
will sell for So or SIC, while champions
often fetch $5O.-New Orleans Times

POINTED SHOE
MARK is CLEW
Only Hope Of Police to LO-
cate Cronin Slayer.
VICTIM KILLED WITH AK

One Theory is That che Murderer of
the GAINESVILLE Man Was Some For
mer Criminal Who Had Learned of
Mr.. cronin's Wealth Through =
Prison Companion-Wife of Victim
Believes Two Men Were in the Plot
to Murder.
GAINESVILLE. Wis, Jan. Is. Careful
measurements of the impression left
by a pointed shoe on the porch and
near the gate of the Cronin yard
where Michael Cronin was picked up
in an unconscious condition and bleed
ing from a cash made by blunt in
strument, were taken by the police in
an attempt to locate the murderers of
the aged stone mason who died early
in the morning from his injuries.
The general impression appears to
be that the murder and the attempted
robbery were the work of other than
local thugs.
Cronin Did Not Recognize Men.
This suspicion seems to be con-
firmed by the further fact that Mr..
Cronin did not recognize the men,
though he has been resident of this
city for scores of years, nor was his
wife able to identify them either
1t is thought possible that it was the
work of some former criminal who
learned of Cronin'S reputed wealth
through a prison companion.
While Mrs. Cronin thinks that there
were two men, one striking her hus-
band down and the other trying to get
into the house Immediately afterward,
the police are of the opinion that but
one was implicated.
Stranger May Have Felt Secure.
The location of the house, in a lar ge
field, in an out of the way place, with
no sidewalks and lonely surroundings,
would have given a stranger a sense
of security from any interference,
while a local man would have waited
until some later hour after the men
from the nearby wooden mills had all
gone home.
The coroner's jury heard Mrs. Gro
Minis story, viewed the remains, and
listened to the doctors description of
the wound which he thinks was made
from the left side.

"JACK" BlNNs THE HERO
Republics Wireless Operator Is Public
ly Praised In Congress-.


The house of representatives at
Washington listened to an eulogy
of John R. Binns, the Marconi opera
tor aboard the transatlantic liner Re-.
public, who remained at his post until
the ship went down. following the col
lision with the Florida
Mr. Boutell of Illinois, addressed the
house ION matter of public interest"
After referring to the collision, Bou-
tell, amid loud applause, said that
throughout the whole critical period
there was one silent actor in the
tragedy whose name should be immor-
talized.' He said:
''Binns has given to the world a
splendid illustration of the feroism
that dwells in many who are doing the
quiet, unnoticed tasks of life. Is it
not an inspiration for all of us to feel
that there are heroes for every emer-
gency and that in human life no dan
ger is so great that some Jack Binns
is not ready to face it?'

DEADLOCK Is UNBROkEN
Hopkins Again Fails of Election as
United States Senator.

Springfield, H., Jan. 26.-The sena-
torial deadlock was frightened up and
the Hopkins and anti-HOpkins. forces
settled down to a test Of endurance, a
political tug-of-war which politicians
say will surpass the noted Palmer and
Logan deadlockS.
Senator Hopkins forces started off
with rush which carried the primary
election victor up to ninety votes, the
highest mark reached yet.
On the next ballot the Hopkins
strength fell to 81, then stuck at S5.
Five ballots were taken with little
change. Robert L. Lincoln and Charles
S. Wharton received complimentary
Republican votes. Other promised
dark horses failed to appear and
George Edmund Foss' presence did not
cause a rush to him.
The balloting ended with Mr.. Hop
kins showing small net gain and the
struggle in the hotel Hobbies is on
again as hot as ever.
