MADE FIRST TELEPHONE
Henry Bergman Constructed Crude
instruments From Sketch Shown
Him by Druggist.

Appleton.-Henry Bergman, the
veteran gun and locksmith of this
city, bears the distinction of having
made the first telephone ever used
in the city of Appleton. In all Mr..
Bergman made eleven telephones,
and he still has in his possession
some of the material used in the
manufacture of the long distance
talking machines which were such a
wonder to the people Of Appleton
when the first one made an appear
ance here.
Mr.. Bergman says that in 1878
Louis Benoit, who was then propri-
etor of drug store, came to him and
asked him If he could make a tele-
phone. The mechanic had never
heard of such thing. But from a
sketch which Mr.. Benoit showed him
he manufactured telephone, as an
experiment, and as it seemed to meet
the demands of Mr.. Benoit, he made
another for actual use in the drug
store, and three more, one each for
LII. NELLY LII. IlSSNSy IhS SioSiI oh>a
DR.. Stansbury, all of whom are now
dead, but who were then well known
physicians with large practices.
The switch board was set up in the
drug store. When Mr.. Benoit wished
to talk to one of the three men of
medicine he switched the apparatus
over to connect with that physicians
telephones; and when one of the doc
tors wished to talk to the pharmacist
he simply rang him up. There was
no central.
Later Mr.. Bergman made five
more telephones for Sam Henry, a
Neenah druggist of those days.
1t is tribute to Mr.. Bergman's
ability as a mechanic that he not
only constructed the wooden parts
Of the telephones, but made the mag
net, the coils, and every part OF the
instrument, also the switchboard,
and set the telephones and switch
board in place.

TWO FOR CHAIRMAN OF PROM
RED" Parker and Jimmy" Adams in
Field for Honor of Arranging
z Wisconsin Affair.

Madison.-Although the university
of Wisconsin Junior prom" is more
than three months off, two candidates
for the honor of general chairman
are already in the field.
Reed l.. ("Red'D Parker of South
Bend, Ind, and Reeve ("Jimmy')
Adams of Appleton, Wis, are the
two aspirants for the honor of ar
ranging the affair which is the acme
of the years social activities at the
university.
Parker has achieved fame as
cheer leader and is one of the heroes
of the student body. He IL the first
real yell master that the Badgers
have had and is largely responsible
for the increase in enthusiasm shown
by the student body in athletic con-
tests of the last few years. Decked
in his red sweater, he has been a ia
miliar sight at all of the big foot
ball games, and he Is known in all
the conference colleges. He is a
member of Phi Kappa Psi.
Adams is one of the best athletes
the Badgers have had in recent years.
He first sprang into the limelight at
the close of the basketball season,
when he went in as center and was
responsible in a large measure for the
Badgers success in their home games.
Last spring he was one of the stars
of the track team, capturing many
points in the dual meets and adding
to the Wisconsin total in the confer
ence. He is a member of Theta Del
ia Chi fraternity.
The junior class is already plan
ming on a promenade that will eclipse
anything held here since the price Of
tickets was lowered to a democratic
standard. 1t Is expected that the SIS
tickets of a year ago will prevail
again this year, last years event
proving big success in every way.
1t was proved that the establishment
Of a SIS rate made it possible for as
many 'barbs" to attend as did when
the price was lowered to So, at which
time the committee were kept busy
for long time making up deficits.

History Of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used In
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society In 1907 for the first
time in America made use of stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year.
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $685.
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250.000 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross Is "A Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
In 1910"

20 PER CENT
LAW SUSTAINED
FAIR TEST FOR PARTY NOMINAL
TON, RULES THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
TWO JUSTICES DISSENTING.
Democrats in Many Counties Having
Failed of the Required Vote
Must Now Run as indie
pendent Candidates.

Madtson.-The supreme court in q
decision upheld the 20 per cent re-
quirement Of the primary election
law. The decision was rendered in
the cast Of the State Elk rel. l.. G.
McGreal, ct al. vs.. Frank Philips ct
al. Justices Winslow and Timlin
dissented.
In this case 1t was sought to COM
pei the board of canvassers OF Mil
waukee county to certify the names
OF the petitioners as those Of the
regular nominees Of the Democratic
party In that county, entitled to have
their names placed on the official
ballot as such for the general cleo
ton of 1910.
The petition, by appropriate ALE
cations, showed that at the last pri-
mary election each petitioner re-
cetved the greatest number Of votes
cast thereat for any one to be the
Democratic party candidate for the
particular county office for which
he was a candidate at such primary,
but that the aggregate vote of all
candidates for such office was not 20
per cent of the vote of such county
for the Democratic candidate for
governor at the general election in
1908, and by reason thereof the
board Of canvassers will not, unless
judicially coerced thereto, certify his
name for a place on the official bal
lot as the candidate of his party for
such Office at the next general cleo
ton. The petition further showed
that the Democratic party is polit-
ical organization which has existed
for many years and without excep-
ton, on all occasions therefor pre-
sented candidates for public offices
and proclaimed party principles to
be represented by such candidate.
The defendants, as members or the
board of county canvassers Of Mil
waukee county, demurred to the COM
plant for insufiiciency and further
for want of jurisdiction OF the court
over the subject of the action.
In a second case, that Of the state,
ex REL, r. e. Hanan vs.. James A.
Frear, ct al, seeking to compel the
secretary of state to certify to the
various county clerks the name or
Hanan as Democratic candidate for
state senator in the Twenty-first dis
trict to be placed on the official bal
lot, the same questions were raised,
and the court says that the cause IS
ruled by the decision in the McGreal-
Phelps case. Following that decl-
sion the demurrer for insufficiency
must be sustained, the court says,
and the action dismissed. The court
so orders.

GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA
In This Case Chlld's Punishment Ger
tainty Failed to Have Salu-
tary Effect.

A little girl had been so very
naughty that her mother found 1t
necessary to shut her up in dark
closet-in that family, the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is, minutes the door had been
locked without sound coming from
behind it. Not a whimper, not sniff
fie.
At last the stern out anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:
Il thpit on your new dress and l
thpit on your new hat. and I'm wait
ing for more thpit to come to thpN
on your new parasol!"

SENATOR DOLLlVER DEAD
While a Physician Is Testing Heart
With Stethoscope the States
man Collapses.

Fort Dodge.-Jonatnan Prentiss
Dolliver, senior United States sena-
tor from Iowa, one Of the leaders Of
the insurgent wing Of the republican
party, and lately a presidential can
didate possibility, died at his home
here.
Senator Dolliver passed away while
one of his attending physicians, Dr..
4. M. Van Patten, was examining the
distinguished statesman's heart with
a stethoscope.
His death followed an attack or
acute stomach trouble which affected
his heart. His physicians announced
that his death was directly due to
dilation of the heart.
Senator Dolliver had so far re-
covered his strength as to be able
to walk about his lawn. He had been
I'D all day, and at night entered his
sitting room for the daily consulta-
ton with his physicians.
The senator informed DR.. Van Pat
ten that he was feeling much I'M
proved and that he believed he had
about recovered his normal strength.
DR.. Van Patten cautioned him about
becoming too anxious to again re-
sumo his work and then began the
examination of the heart.
The senator was sitting In large
Morris chair when the physician be-
gan the examination. While making
the examination the physician kept
up a conversation with Senator Dol
liver, and asked him how he was
feeling.
at am really feeling better than
at any time since my recent sick
ness" he said.
The physician continued the ex-
animation and suddenly noticed that
the heart beats had ceased. He shook
his stethoscope, believing that 1t was
defective in some way. Again apply
ing his instrument he discovered that
the heart had ceased beating entire
ly.
Upon looking into the senator's
face he found that death had over
taken him. He died without strug-
gle and without pain.
No one, with the exception OF the
physician, was in the room at the
time of his death. Mrs. Dolliver hav-
ing stepped out just before the phy'
sician began his examination.

VAN HISE ISSUES DENIAL
Declares False Story of Narrow Es-
cape From Defeat for Re-elec-
ton as Versitf Head.

Madison.-Thath he was recently re-
elected by the regents to the presl-
dency of the University of Wisconsin
by a narrow margin or one vote, was
positively denied by President Chas.
r. Van Hise, when his attention was
called to newspaper dispatches sent
out from this city to that effect.
His appointment to the presidency
by the regents in 1904, he pointed
out, was for an unlimited term as
hos always been the case with the
nresident of the university.
The story that Prof. e. J. Turner
of the department of American his
tory at the university resigned last
wear in order to accept a chair al
Harvard. because he had espoused
the cause of conservation, was also
pronounced false by President van
Hise
