FIRST WOMAN COURT CLERK
Miss Blythe, Racine, Thought to 30
Pioneer Woman in Position in
Southern Wisconsin.

Racine. For the first time in the
history of Racine and it Is thought in
the history of southern Wisconsin,
woman has been appointed clerk of
the circuit court.
Miss Helen Blythe, who for several
years has been deputy clerk of the
court at Racine, has been appointed
in place OF Lemuel Owens, who has
resigned to take a position in St.
Paul.
Ii Is remarkable coincidence that
Miss Blythe should obtain this Of
flee. AT the last primary election
she was urged to run for the Office by
business men and lawyers of the city.
but on writing for an opinion from
the attorney general she received In
formation that this course would be
without precedent and without legal
sanction. So she gave up thoughts of
entering the race.
On MIR. Owens receiving a respon-
sible position In st. Paul, which re-
quired his whole attention immedi-
ately, he rendered his resignation to-
Judge Belden and other county Off
GERS, 70 take effect on Oct. /, and
recommended that Miss Blythe be APP
pointed to act as clerk until the first
OF January the expiration of Mr..
Owens's term. Miss Blythe's work
was 50 satisfactory that the judge
acted on Lemuel Owens's suggestion.
and now Miss Blythe is clerk OF the
circuit court despite the decision OF
the attorney general of Wisconsin.

SENATOR D0LLIvER DEAD
While a Physician Is Testing Heart
With Stethoscope the States
man Collapses.

Fort Dodge.-Jonathan Prentiss
Dolliver, senior United States sena-
tor from Iowa, one of the leaders OF
the insurgent wing of the republican
party, and lately presidential can
didate possibility, died at his home
here.
Senator Dolliver passed away while
one of his attending physicians, DR..
f.. M. Van Patten, was examining the
distinguished statesman's heart with
a stethoscope.
His death followed an attack OF
acute stomach trouble which affecteo
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.
Il 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 hts instrument he discovered that
the heart had ceased beating entire
iy.
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 ply
sician began his examination.

Break Over the Sea Wall.

Havana.-Swept by great waves
dashed to fury by new hurricane,
Havana was under four feet or
water for distance of nine blocks
from the sea wall along the north
ern border of the city.
Hundreds of lives are believed to
have been lost.
Large buildings in the path of the
storm have been blown down and
vessels in the harbor have been torn
from their moOrings.
The loss throughout the island
may reach millions.
Although all wires to the interior
of the island are down it is known
that the hurricane has carried wide
spread devastation through Cuba.
Postmaster General NOdarse said
that private advices stated that the
towns of Martinas Guane, La Grifa.
Punta Carries and Cortes had been
destroyed and that the greater part
of Artemosa, a prosperous town On
the boundary of Havana province,
was in ruins.
Thirty persons are reported dead
at Consolation Del Sur, where many
buildings were destroyed. 1t is be-
lieved that all towns in the province
of Pinar del Rio have suffered heavy
losses with casualty lists which may
run into the thousands. The storm
is said TO be abating in the interior.

tornado in Cuban history is sweep
ing north over Florida at eighty
miles an hour. Key West is in the
center of the storm. and even wire
less communication has been cut Off.
Cuba has suffered heavy loss of
life and millions of dollars OF prop
erty damage. Sugar and tobacco
plantations have been ruined, thou
sands made homeless and food crops

coed 100000. A square mile of
residential section was flooded.
Waves are dashing over the sea wall
at st. Augustine. flooding the streets
and lowlands, and swapping small
craft.

Trapped in Burning Turn Hall by
Falling Roof, They Fight
Way to Safety.

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

Appleton. Henry Bergman, the
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 1873
Louis Benoit, who was then propri-
etor of a drug store, came to him and
asked him If he could make a tele-
phone. The mechanic had never
heard of such a 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
DR.. Reilly, DR.. Reeve, the elder, and
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 physician s
telephone; 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.
It Is a tribute to Mr. Bergman S
ability as mechanic that he not
only nnstructed 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
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') Parker OF South
Bend, Ind, and Reeve ('Jimmyo
Adams of Appleton, Wis, are tho
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 a
cheer leader and is one of the heroes
of the student body. He is the frso
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. Deckef
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 q
member of Phi Kappa Psi.
Adams Is one of the best athletes
the Badgers have had in recent years.
He first sprang into the limeligtt at
the close of the basketball season.
when he went in as center and was
responsible in 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

tickets was lowered to a democratic
standard. 1t is expected that the 50
tickets of a year ago will prevail

proving a big success in every way.
1t was proved that the establishment
of a s. 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

peared TO be three dogs chasing the
sheep but which upon investigation
proved to be three cub bears. They
made a run toward the cubs and two
of them ran up tree, the other es-
Gaping to the woods. Mr.. Lauritsen

dency of the University of Wisconsin

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
has always been the case with the
president of the university.
The story that Prof. Il. J. Turner
of the department of American his
tory at the university resigned last
year in order to accept a chair at
Harvard. because he had espoused
the cause Of conservation, was also
pronounced false by President Van
Hise.

And Still They Come.

They are coming back. Every ship
brings more Of them, and we should
think up clever. original utterances
with which to greet them-such. for
instance, as Isn't America pretty
decent country, after all?" or How
did you enjoy the customs inspec.
tion?' or We'll, well! old boy, did
you have a good time? Seasick, eh?"
1t is wonderful, really, the persist
ence with which people keep coming
home from abroad when they know
perfectly we'll what they've got to
face. Often has the clerk marveled
at their courage, though possibly 1t
is due to their not hearing a word of
what we say, as ideas are bursting out
of them with such vehemence as to
prevent the entrance Of others. We
might better save our breath-and
reputation for intelligence. Remem.

GREEKS WANT AN EDUCATION
Group Of Foreigners Calls on School
Superintendent and Asks for
Night School.

Fond du Lac.-The establishment
of a night school for Greek youths of
the city will be suggested to the
board of education by Supt. Guy d..
Smith.
A delegation Of Greek youths
called upon the superintendent some
days ago to interest him in the mat
ter and in this they succeeded. They
desire IA general elementary educa-
ton, particularly in reading and
writing of the English language.
There were four young men in the
delegation which waited upon the
superintendent and they were enthu-
siastic over the idea of having a
night school.
According to the delegation such
a school would be attended by at
least fifty young men of the Greek
colony who are anxious to have an
education in English. These men are
employed during the day either in the
Moore and Galloway plant or the
plant of the Fred Rueping Leather
company.
