POSTMASTER UNDER ARREST
Caught in Watertown, Oconomowoc
Official is Committed
to Jail.

Milwaukee.-John G. Gorth, post
master and hotel proprietor at Ocon-
omowoc, was arrested at Waterfowl
by Postoffice Inspector Ralph Bro
and Deputy Marshal John Vebber
and brought here. 1t is alleged that
Gorth's accounts as postmaster are
short.
Gorth was taken before Court
Commissioner Francis G. Bloodgood.
He waived examination and was put
under $4,000 bond to await the ac-
ton of the next federal grand jury.
Failing to produce the bond, the COM
missioner committed him to Jail.
The amount of the alleged short

appeared from Oconomowoc and no
trace of him was found until he was
apprehended at WATERFOWL. He IS
now in more or less of state OF

Menomonee Falls.-The Methodist
church of this city has versatile
pastor who believes in athletics. He
has made an offer, which has been
accepted, to act as coach for the vii
lage high school football team this

Foley, who was a former star in the
Brown university team and for tit-
teen wears a coach at Hammond uni

istry he did not think it necessary to
make his exit from the football field.
It is Mr.. Folley's theory that he can
do more good to the football play
ers by going among them and aiding
in the uplift of the sport than ne
can preaching sermons to them from
his pulpit that they might not come
to listen to.

PREDICT LONG, COLD WINTER
Weather Prophets and Nature Ex-
perts Agree That 1t Will Be
Unusually Hard One.

Milwaukee.-Get your rutabagas
in the cellar and give the parsn1ps
an extra covering.
Likewise, if you have steam pipes
around the house, look to the plumb
ing.
Weather forecasters predict that
the winter of 191O-'11 is going to be
long and hard. Wisconsin, they say,
will have it's usual delightful fall,
but when winter comes, and it may be
a few days earlier than is it's wont,
the days will be cold and there will
be little relief until spring, which
may be late.
Reports are coming from the state
in support of these predictions, and
altogether it appears that the coal
man has an energetic press agent.
Keeper Bean of the Washington
park zoo, while not claiming to be
weather prophet, says that his fur
bearing animals are going to have I'M
usually beautiful coats this winter.

MUST FACE TRIAL
SUPREME COURT SUSTAlNS IN
DICTMENTS AGAINST FOR
MER OFFICIAL.
CHARGED WITH DISHONESTY
Other important Cases Disposed of
by Decisions Handed Down by
Wisconsin Supreme
Court.

Madison.-That technicalities and
hair-splitting differentiation will not
be permitted in Wisconsin to turn
the scales Of justice to the advantage
of the individual who seeks thereby
to escape the processes of law, was
again disclosed in the Judgment OF
the supreme court in reversing the
order of the circuit court of Mari
nette county in the case of the state
against Thomas w. Brown.
The case was one of those in
which a public official is charged
with offenses against the state by in
dictment, and objection is made by
the defendant to the terms of the
Indictment. In the present case
Brown, who was sheriff of Marlnette
county, and who was charged in each
of some ten indictments, objects to
the proceeding upon the ground that
the Indictment charges that Brown,
by false pretense, induced the county
of Marinette to pay him certain sums
of money.
1t was contended by Brown that
there is no charge that the county
paid the money orr that Brown re-
ceived it.; that the only offense
charged is that the county was in
duced to pay with no suggestion that
it did pay.
The court, in an opinion by JUS
tice Barnes, declares that ''prece-
dents from foreign jurisdictions on
matters of pleading and practice in
criminal cases are often illusory and
misleading. On a question such as
the one before us, the judgments
of other tribunals may aid, but they
cannot control or conclude this
court
The Indictment in the present case
says that the defendant did induce
Marinette county to pay the money
and the supreme court finds no rea-
son in the form of the language TIC
conclude that it means anything
other than that the county. paid the
money as charged in the indictment
and that the defendant received it.

ROUGH RIDER FLIES
SAYS HE NEVER
ENJOYED ANY HING SO
MUCH BEFORE.
FEAR FOR HIM. BUT CHEER
Aviator Carries Distinguished Pas
senger Safely Through Taree-
Minute Flight While Big Crowd
Watches.

ST. Louis.-Ex-P President Roosevelt
made his initial air trip with Archie
Hoxsey, an aviator for the Wright
brothers, and he was up in cloudland
for exactly three minutes and twenty
seconds.
When Col Roosevelt got to town
he was told that st. Louis was anx-
ious to see him try a trip through
the sky.
'tBy George, I never thought OF
that" replied the colonel. Il don't
know that could do it,
When the colonel got to the park
he asked for Hoxsey.
MI Roosevelt carefully scrutinized
the flyer and then turning to Hox-
sey remarked with smile:
81 don't know but I'd like taking
the trip with you
That's easy replied Hoxsey,
grinning amiably. you don't need
to fear anything, colonel. I'd be
tickled to take you with me. You
will come down without scratch. :"
When Hoxsey was ready, he mo-
toned to Col Roosevelt and the ex-
president strobe bravely to the aero
plane AS he stepped to the machine
the crowd in the field let out wild
cheer The colonel turned and waved
his hand.
Out over the heads of the gasp1ng
crowd sailed the aeroplane. Col.
Roosevelt could be seen holding tight
to the slender uprights running from
his frail seat. Hoxsey took the aero
plane over the field scarcely ten feet
above the crowd until he had covered
the course. When over the crowd
the ex-president gazed down and re-
leasing his hold with one hand waved
at the throng. A cheer went up and
the colonel responded with a wide
sweep of the hand.
"Clear the way, the colonels COM
ing down here said officers as they
dashed into the crowd and beat it
back from the field. Down came the
aeroplane gracefully as bird until
it reached the ground. 1t ran along
until it had reached the exact spot
from which it assembled and then
came to a dead stop. Amid rous1ng
cheers Col Roosevelt hoped out
from the aeroplane.

principles of scientific philanthropy

horns, Games and others of a like
kind. The reason for this is that the
Brahmas are much longer maturing.
while the Game and all the small or
medium-sized breeds are sooner de-
veloped. They feather up quickly and
acquire the much desired plumpness
sooner and more easily than do any
of the larger breeds. This is espe-
cially so with the pullets, though the
which latter require maturity (not
necessarily age) to make them really
fine eating.
