Convict Ordered Released.

Tom Burns, convicted at Chippewa
Falls last April of robbery of the Bank
of Holcombe on November 25, 1908,
and sentenced to ten years, has been
proved innocent and was ordered re-
leased from Waupun penitentiary, ac-
cording to an announcement by the
state board of control Burns was in
Jail at st. Paul on a minor charge at
the time the robbery was committed
and a perfect alibi was established in
the investigation made by the board
of control
Before making the recommendation
of release the board of control made
a thorough investigation and obtained
affidavits from the authorities and
from former prisoners at st. Paul. The
exact time down to the minute of
Burns release was found on the jail
records. The warden said there could
possibly be no mistake, as prisoners
were never released ahead of time
without record being made of it.
Burns served in the st. Paul jail
from November 10 to 25, 1908. In his
story to Warden Towne, Burns claimed
that he told his attorney, appointed by
Judge Vinje to defend him, of the cir
cumstances of the ST. Paul alibi, but
that the latter gave it no credence. He
was arrested with two other men
whose presence at Holcombe was
sworn to.

Taft Approves River Bill.

After considering the rivers bill
harbors appropriation bill for about
seven hours, the house succeeded in
disposing of 70 of the 100 pages Of
that measure without making any i'm
portant changes.
That President Taft has given I'M
qualified approval to an annual river
and harbor bill was disclosed by
Chairman Alexander, of the river and
harbor committee in discussing the
bill in the house. Mr.. Alexander is
strongly DESTROYS that the outlined
plans for prompt and effective i'm
provement of the Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Ohio and other inland navigable
streams shall be made certain.
He also stated in connection with
his remarks concerning the confer
ences with President Taft and the
engineers of the war department that
he believes that with regular appropri-
ations in an annual bill secured, a
feasible channel in the Mississippi
river could be obtained. He says the
upper Mississippi can be completed
within IL years, but the lower Missis.
sippi may require at least 20 years.

Letter From Explorers Home
Town Voices Views.

Washington, d. G. - Denouncing
Robert E. Peary, the explorer, as a
selfish egotist," and a "braggart,"
captain B. S. Osbon, secretary of the
Arctic Club of America, has written a
letter to the subcommittee of the
house naval committee approving the
letters action in voting down the
proposition to make Peary rear adj
m1ral. Captain Osborn says:
THE action of the subcommittee on
naval affairs in the matter of Civil
Engineer Robert E. Peery-not Peary,
for that is and assumed name-de-
serves the heartiest commentator of
every American citizen who values
justice and respects the United States
navy.
ITO have given this selfish egotist.
this braggart, the rank of rear admir-
al, would be foul blot on the rec
ords of congress and an insult to the
navy of the United States 1t would
have disguised millions of our citizens
who have no confidence in this al
legged pole hunter and Arctic fur trad
er and story teller, who for nearly a
quarter of a century has been living
off the people and sailing under a
naval rank to which he had no legal
right and for which he should have
been severely reprimanded by the
navy department long ago."
Another letter from Portland, Me-,
the home of Mr.. Peary, written by an
executive officer in the naval reserve
of that state, says:
"It should be gratifying to all think
ing citizens that there is a group Of
men in Washington, who, while ready
suitably and generously to recognize
the distinguished achievements of Mr..
Peary, refuse to be actuated or in
fiuenced by fanatical sentimentalism."

Protests of Dairymen.

The railroad rate commission held
a hearing on the complaint of the Wis
consin Dairy Manufacturers and Milk
Producers association against the rnle
of the railroads, known as rule 81,
in the western classification, which re-
quires all shipments in less than ear
load lots be marked with the full name
and address of the consignee.
This rule of the roads is obnoxious
particularly to shippers of dairy prod
ucts in that it reveals to competitors
information regarding consignee that
works disadvantageously at times.
These shippers ask the railroad COM
mission to declare the rule unreason-
able, contending that if the full name
of the consignee appears in the way
bill the railroad company has all need
full information and that it should be
sufficient if the packages are marked
with initials or even with a symbol,
the same appearing in the waybill
The railroads contend that the rule
is necessary to protect them against
loss through the miscarriage Of ship
ments.

THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved Great Success-Thou
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
it is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers,
4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
]. p. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of u. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 1O,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

Wausau, for Swedish oats. Mr.. Grebe,
having won the cup for the second
time, becomes it's owner.
Mr.. Kruger also won the $125 cup

PHYSICIANS OF
OMAHA DISAGREE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON COOP.
ER'S REMARKABLE SUCCESS
HELD BY MEDICAL MEN OF
NEBRASKA METROPOLIS.

! Omaha, Neb., Feb. 16.-The aston.
ishing sale of Cooper's preparations in
this city has now reached such inn
mense figures that the medical frater-
nifty at large have become forced into
open discussion of the man and his
preparations.
The physicians as a whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in Omaha-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is
but a passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions is
very we'll voiced in the statements
made recently by two of number or
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
DR.. J. e. Carass when questioned
about the matter said: 81 have not
been a believer in proprietary prepa-
rations heretofore, nor can | say that
/ believe in them at present. But
must admit that some of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far
towards removing the prejudice | had
formed against him when the I'M
heard-of demand for his preparations
first sprang up in this city. Numbers
of my patients whom l have treated
for chronic liver, kidney and stomach
troubles have met me after taking
Cooper's remedy and have stated
positively that he has accomplished
wonderful results for them. l notice
particularly in cases of stomach trou-
BILE that the man has relieved several
cases of years standing that proved
very obstinate to treatment.
81 am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and
l am inclined to give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
ton that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another well known physician who
was seen took the opposite view OF
TIC SOOpSI-uudAlotS DIS AS CdlISu AIs
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: 81 can only liken the present
state of affairs to a certain kind OF
hallucination. For want of a better
name, l might call it 'Cooper-mania."
The people of Omaha seem to be
firm in the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle.
Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them Of various ills,
judging from their statements. 1t is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. 1t may be
safely put down, l think, to one of
the passing fads that so often attack
the American public.
Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses and will
then realize that the reputable physi-
clan is the one to whom their health
had best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousand people daily, and only
smiles when statements Of the above
character are quoted to him.

me to sleep, or my wife either, and it

pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the

I simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indescrib-

rience it to know what it is.
Il tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. I had given up
hope of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, in conjunction with

100 Complete Dairy Course.


A class CT 100 dairy students, IL
Guiding 60 creamery butter makers
and 40 factory cheese makers, COM
pleted the three-months' winter dairy
course which closed last week in the
dairy department of the University OF
Wisconsin college of agriculture.
The interest in the course this year
was especially marked and larger
number than in previous years re-
manned throughout the period, COM
pleting all the work. Very few
dropped out to start factories or &C
cept new positions.
Most of the cheese makers have
positions either il their own or in
other factories. The majority of the
butter makers have employment in
prospect, as the demand for we'll
trained men has been increasing. The
class this year showed a high average
in scholarship. All had had practical
experience before entering the dairy
school,
Part of the success with this years
class is attributed to the improved in
struction in butter and cheese making,
including the tests for dairy products,
the use of dairy machinery and the
making of starters. The monthly
scoring exhibitions have been closely
studied, with the result that there
is much greater uniformity in the
moisture content of the butter made
by students this year than in that
made two years ago.
