THE TARIFF AND FooDsTUFFs.

THE TARIFF AND FoODSTUFFs
Figures OF the bureau of statistics,
department of commerce and labor,
throw a peculiar light on the charge
that the tariff is responsible for the
high cost Of living. While our ex-
ports OF farm products increased a
hundred million dollars in the ten
years from 1899 to 1909, the ex-
ports Of meat and dairy products fell
of nine millions. of animals fifteen
millions. of wheat, corn and -four a
hundred millions. So, though the
tariff may have prevented the i'm
portation OF these food products. Just
AS il did ten years ago. there was a
falling OF OF exports of over a hun
dred million dollars worth, showing
that. either the country consumed
that much more, or production has
decreased that much in the ten years.
SO We must conclude that the rela-
! tion Of the local supply to the de-
8nand has caused the high price, and
pc tariff could have nothing to do
ith the advance in that time.

VILLAGE FEARS PoISoNER.
Believe Child's Death Fore-runner of
Multitude of Others.

Oconto-That the village of Surfing
is destined to be wiped out by poison
is now the fear of every person in the
little numbering town in the north
west part of this county, where the
three-year-old daughter of Nels Nelson
died after eating poisoned candy left
on the doorstep. The younger son of
Nelson will recover, but the villagers
are now afraid that the prisoners will
take some other methods to attack
other families
The work is supposed to be of de-
mented woman. But the woman Sus-
pected has not been shown as yet to
have had any hand in the murder of
the child yesterday.
The poisoning follows the sending
out last year to the best known people
of the village of series of letters in
which it was promised the writer
would poison every person in the
place.
The village has population of 200,
and as the letters sent out all con-
tanned strychnine, it is evident that
the writer has enough to carry out
the threat of eXterminating the com
munity.

DIR. HILL DECLINES
j. Of N. PRESIDENCY
POPULAR EDUCATOR is INDUCED
TO REMAIN IN HIS PRESENT
POSITION.
AS HEAD OFMISSOURI UNIVERSITY
Brief Telegram Announces His Deci-
sion to Waiting Regents.-Dr. Nor
throp May Remain as Head of
Minnesota Another Year.

Minneapolis, Feb. 9-President Al
bert Ross Hill, of the University of
Missouri, has formally declined the
presidency of the University of Mime
sofa.
The announcement came in tele-
grams to James T. Gerould, librarian
at the university, a friend of the Mis-
souri, president, and to B. F. Nelson,
member of the board of regents. Mr..
Nelson formally announced the decl-
sion of DR.. Hill in the absence OF John
Lind, president of the board.
The explanation of the situation was
expressed in DR.. Cyrus Northrop' S
comment when he heard the news.
CDR Hill has refused to be consid-
cred as a candidate for the presidency
of the University of Minnesota, and
| am exceedingly sorry. 1t wasn't how
ever, that he loved Minnesota less,
but that he loved Missouri more.
understand that great deal OF pres
sure was brought to bear upon him
to cause him to remain where he is.
| have no idea who the regents will
consider for the position now"
The telegram of DR.. Hill was brief
and gave none of the reasons for
his decision. A letter will follow, how
ever, setting forth his explanation.
DR.. Northrop May Stay.
That DR.. NorthrOp may continue in
office another year is considered a
possibility by many. Mr.. Nelson hopes
that the president may be relieved of
his duties and that his successor may
be found in the near future. Professor
Balthazar Meyer of the University of
Wisconsin is favored by several of the
regents.
The regents believed up to late
hour that DR.. Hill would accept their
offer of the Minnesota presidency. A
conference with the Missouri educator
in Chicago short time ago caused the
regents to feel that DR.. Hill favored
Minnesota.
B. F. Nelson was called into confer
ence for further consideration of plans
to secure Dr. Northrop's successor.
News of the deliberations has not
been given out.

Pawling, Brownsville, Mimi, adopted

nearly every business man in La
Crosse. She left her estate to the

siders who befriended her, by the
terms of her most unique will Her
adopted son was cut off with 81 be-
cause he married a Protestant, while
her sister in the West received SINH

KING GUSTAVE is RECOVERING
OPERATION ON THE KING OF
SWEDEN rs SUCCESSFUL.
Attending Physicians Say His Majesty
Viii. Be Up in
Fortnight.

Stockholm, Feb. 9-The condition
of King Gustave, who was operated
on for appendicitis is reported as en-.
tirely satisfactory.
The following bulletin was issued
by the physicians in attendance on
King Gustave:
''The King passed quiet day and
slept we'll Anodynes have been I'M
necessary Pulse Sc, temperature
9S.2. The wound presents no unfav'
orable symptoms. His majesty's gen
eral health is satisfactory"
In discussing the case the surgeons
said that the inflammation around the
appendix was in very advanced state
and that a few hours delay in operat
ing might have proved fatal through
the breakdown of the organ. When
his majesty was informed that an
operation was necessary he consent
ed without the slightest hesitation and
ordered that all his relatives then in
the city should be summoned to his
side.
The king was under the influence
of the anaestheic for little more than
an hour When he was replaced in
bed he fell into a gentle sleep.
The attending physicians say that
his majesty will be up again in a
fortnight. The regency, under Grown
Prince Gustave Adolph will continue
possibly for three weeks.

N. Y. SENATOR A BRIBE-TAKER

Wheels of Legislation Stop While
Lawmakers Conduct

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 9.-The wheels
of legislation stood still here while
the 81 members of the senate inves-
tigated charges of bribery against one
of their number. Witnesses during
the next few days or weeks are ex-
pected to prove whether or not Senat-
or J. P. Aids of Chenango county,
took $1,000 in payment for his infiu-
ence in sitting a certain bill. Senator
Aids has made a sweeping denial of
the charge and upon his accuser, Sen
ator Benjamin Conger, rests the burd-
en- of proving the assertion
Senator Conger charged that Aids
while member of the assembly on or
about April 20, 1901, received and
accepted $1,000 as consideration for
having refrained from pressing for
passage of certain bill pending be.
fore the house."
Under compulsion of the senate
Senator Benn Conger, filed a sworn
bill of particulars. The statement de
clares that "the person who delivered
$1,000 to Aids on or about April %
1911, was Hiram &. Moe OF GrOtOn
Tompkins County"
This sum-" the affiant asserts, was
demanded by Aids of Benn Congel
and Frank Conger in the interests OF
the American Bridge company Ca cor
poration.)"
| The particular bill referred to as in
Aids charge, declared Conger, was
| an act amending the highway law
which had been referred to the assem-
| bly, committee on internal affairs.
Conger was compelled to file his bill
of particulars by vote of SO to 8.
1t is Is years since the senate has
been asked to consider a charge like
this. Five times in the last 40 years
similar inquiries have occupied the
time of this body. In no case have the
| charges been sustained.

PHONE WAR STILL ON.
Citizens Of New Richmond Reject All
Compromises of Old Company.

New Richmond.-At mass meeting
OF the local subscribers OF the Wis
consin Telephone Company's exchange
the company submitted several prop
ositions with view of ending the
local telephone strike. The company
offered to cut in half the recent raise
in rates for local service, that is to
say, charge $2.25 per month for sin
gle business telephones instead of
$3.50, and $1.25 for single line resi-
dence phones, instead of $3.50. This
was voted down unanimously. Then
came another proposition to restore
the old rate in force previous to Jan
uary l, 81 per month for business
phones and 81 month for residence
phones, pending an investigation by
committee to be named by the citi-
zens to ascertain if that would furnish
revenue to provide a reasonable re-
turn to the company's investment.
That, too, was rejected without a dis
senting voice. Still a third PROPOSE
ton, suggesting that a committee be
appointed to open negotiations with
| the company for the purchase of it's
local exchange in this city, was read,
but was not even voted on
Meantime, the local telephone strike
continues and meeting will be held
tonight by the stockholders of the
new company to perfect its organiza-
ton. The new company will be allied
with the Tri-State and Twin City in
dependent telephone interests.

BUY POOR FARM.
CATHOLIC DIOCESE, LA CROSSE
WANTS TO MAKE AN ORPHAN
AGE OUT OF 1T.
TO TEACH AGRICULTURE
Wisconsin County Board Favorably
Considers Bishops Offer-Other
Plans Being For
Warded.

La Crosse.-The only joint orphan
,ge, agricultural and manual training
;chool in the state under Catholic
church jurisdiction will be established
here, if plans announced in church to-
lay by Bishop James Schwebach, of
The diocese of La Crosse, to purchase
the La Crosse county poor farm, are
successfully consummated.
The bishop announces a tentative
offer has been made to the county for
the purchase of the poor farm and
buildings, and a special meeting of the
county board will be called during the
week to consider the deal. The coun-
" has been considering disposing of
the poor farm so that the poor and
insane departments might be merged
at the West Salem insane asylum un-
Ter one head for economy.
The county is preparing to provide
an anti-tuberculosis hospital, and SUI
pervisors proposed using the poor
farm buildings for this purpose, but
this met with much opposition owing
to the poor location of the farm. 1t
is therefore considered likely the Of
fer of the church will be accepted
quickly and the money secured from
the sale will be used to establish the
anti-tuberculosis hospital elsewhere
in the county.
It is announced by Bishop Schwe
back that the ST. Michaels and St
AIMS orphanages are now overcrowd
ed, and if purchased, the poor farm
buildings will be remodeled and the
boys orphanage transferred in the
spring. The farm will be used for the
instruction of the orphans in agricul
ture and manual training. Later, he
declares, the girls orphanage will be
moved to the farm into new buildings
to be provided, and the buildings now
used for this purpose in the city will
be utilized for other purposes. 1t is
not unlikely that the st. AIMS orphan
age will be used as an annex to st
Francis hospital, which is rapidly out
growing it's present quarters, although
it is now one of the biggest Catholic
! hospitals in the state.

punishment would take place under
provisions of the law Those who
preferred to do so he permitted to
quit school. There is great indigna.
ton, but Prof. Pierson says there
would have been indignation in the
homes of lower classmen had the older
boys carried out their plans.
