Growth of Mahogany Tree.

The observations OF f. N. Thomp-
son, conservator Of forests for south
ern Nigeria, indicate that the mahog-
any tree grows much more rapidly
than the number OF so-called annual
rings suggests. Mr. Thompson thinks
that they show three or four well
marked zones Of growth each year,
corresponding to the four seasons.
Both forest trees and those grown In
the botanical garden exhibit the same
phenomenon. On the site of the

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally I got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one e1se's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

REIMBURSEMENT of Rates Ordered.

The state railroad commission or
dered a readjustment of the rates
charged by the Ripon Light & Water
Company without materially affecting
its revenues. The action was taken
upon complaint of the city of Ripon
alleging that the rates charged were
excessive and unreasonable.
The commission made an exhaus-
tive investigation of the affairs of the
corporation and determined that it's
revenues should not be reduced. An
order was made, however, so fixing
the rates for water that the city will
be required to pay $1,100 more than
heretofore and from it's users that
amount less, while in the matter of
lighting rates the city has 500 cut
off from it's bill, the amount being
made up by rates to users.
The principal reduction in this is
in the rate for arc lamps, which are
reduced from $50 to SIS for midnight
service and from $40 to $5S for moon
light schedule service.

Sickness Insurance in Germany.

The compulsory state system of
sickness insurance instituted in 1884
in Germany has proved a powerful fac
tor in combating tuberculosis. No less
powerful have been the public sana-
toria, the number of beds in which
have increased during the past Is
years from 243 to 8,422. Of the 200
tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals
in Germany, 35 are supported by the
carriers of sickness insurance. The
statistics of the imperial insurance
department show that as many as AZ
per cent of the number Of persons
treated in these institutions remained
in good working health five years
after being dismissed from the sana-

Reports on Waterpowers.

The special legislative committee
on waterpowers, forestry and drain
age, majority of it at least, is still
busily engaged in investigation, re-
search and compilation.
Assemblymen Hambrecht and Bray
are particularly active, with no pros
pect that they will soon be ready to
make a report. In fact the probability
is that two reports are yet to come
from the committee, as it is under
stood that Messrs. Hambrecht and
Bray are so far apart in their funda-
mental propositions that neither can
consistently yield to join the other in
q statement of conclusions. The diff
ference between them arises out of
their views of the rights of the state
to control and dominate the water
ways. 1t is understood that Messrs.
Kubastu and Thomas of the commit
tee will stand with Mr.. Hambrecht,
while Senator Bird who is now in the
south, will join with the assemblyman
from Oshkosh.
Two members of the committee
Senators Krumrey and Husting, have
already made a report favoring a
radical change Of policy for the future
control of the waterpowers of the
state as we'll as the matter of forestry
and drainage regulation.

Reed against Van Antwerp, known as

leaves a victory for the fishermen. He
rendered a verdict against Van Ant
werp of one cent for damages for
trespass, without costs. In effect, he
held fisherman had no right to tres
pass on a farmers land, but also that
the streams of the state, and the fish,
belong to the public. and that people
have the right to navigate the streams
and either fish from boats or by wa,
ding, without being liable for trespass
so long as they kept off the banks of
the streams. Also that the farmer
has not title to the water or the fish,
his rights in the stream being subject
to public usage.

NEW BUILDINGS
FOR STATE FAIR
Plans Are Adopted by Board of
Agriculture.
NO 5-CENT FARE TO GROUNDS
President 5eggs of the Milwaukee
Street Railway Sends UItimatum
to the Board-DecIines to
Build Terminals.

The board of agriculture has ap-
proved the plans of Ferry & Clas Tor
the new machinery building, at the
state fair grounds in Milwaukee, which
will be built of concrete and will be
100 feet wide and $50 feet long. 1t
will be one of the finest machinery
halls in the country and it will be
completed in time for the next state
fair.
There was some discussion OF the
proposed new grandstand, but 1t had
already been determined that the ap-
preparation by the Legislature of S25,-
600 was not sufficient to warrant the
beginning of the building. The
Minnesota grandstand cost $4,000.
Offers were reported of daily air
ship fights at the fair by Curtiss of
$4,000 and by the Wright brothers of
$4,000, in connection with similar
offers to the state fairs of Iowa, Mime
sofa and Illinois. The rival airship
men are now engaged in litigation as
to their rights and there are various
injunctions out pending their deter
minatiOn There is no doubt that the
airship will be feature of the next
state fair, but no final action was
taken.
The committee on plans for the new
speed barns was instructed to report
at the next meeting of the board. The
Narissa Ladies' band of As pieces was
engaged for the fair.
No fve-cent street car fare to the
state fair grounds this year and no
street car terminals at the grounds.
This was the message which Street
Car President Beggs sent to the board
and which Mr. Beggs said that it was
not worth his while to attend.
President Beggs, in letter to the
board, said that in view Of newspaper
reports in regard to the location of
terminals, and the published interview
of one member of the board, urging a
f1ve-cent fare, he did not think it was
worth his while to attend the meet
ing of the board.
He spoke in his letter of the gen.
eral system of transfers, by which peo-
pie in all parts of the city could get
to the grounds for ten cents, and
said that in view of the large sum the
company had proposed to put into the
erection of terminals, the company
would hardly be justified in going to
that expense, even with the present
ten-cent rate.

OUT FOR vocAL INTERFERENCE.
Umpire Byron Finds Newark Player
 Guilty of Offense.

Bill Byron, a Detroit man who um- pired in the Eastern league last season
 had a peculiar decision to make last summer, according to Paul Bruske of the Detroit Time. It took place at Toronto with Newark the opposing team. It was very close combat and Newark, by a lively batting rally in the closing stages; was in a place where hit would probably turn de- feat into victory Two were out and the batter raised a high foul within the easy reach of both the Toronto catcher and third baseman. Both started for the ball, but the third base man drew back, as is customary, to let the catcher make the clutch. Just as the ball was nearing the ground the Newark coacher at third base stamped his feet with avidity and yelled: ..Get out Of the way; l got it." The catcher backed away and the ball fell on the dominion of Canada.
 Great glee broke out among the Newark contingent, who seemed ap- parently to conclude that the strategy of the coacher had won the batsman another chance to connect sBut they reckoned without MT. Byroh- Bat ter-r-r Out." yelled the umpire. Man ager McGinnity of the Newark club led his entire team out on the field in a rush for Byron who stood his ground with calm and confidence. Flows that?' inquired McGinnity.
 'T said the man was out" replied MT. Byron. "But the ball hit the ground; 'why, nobody even touched it,' q say he's out" replied Byron with a suggestion of peeve in his duIcet tones. Well. how in the name of Spalding's guide can you dope it that way F Hes out on interference" This set McGinnity fairly crazy and he frothed at the mouth. ''But there wasn't a man within ten feet of Mitchell when he backed away" he screamed He's out on vocal inter ference; get into the field and finish the game" And Byron pulled his watch. There was nothing else for Mo Ginnity to do then, but he hot footed from tine grounds to a telegraph office, where he indicted a hot despatch to President Powers protesting the game on what he alleged a most high handed and erroneous ruling. The league took a vote on the game be- fore the season was over for Newark was then within an inch or two of the pennant. And the league voted to sus- tain the decision of the umpire.
