Is the Office Vacant?

In consequence of the decision OF
Judge E. Ray Stevens of Madison, a
question that Is Deing asked in Mari
nette is whether or not the Office OF
district attorney of Marinette county
is now vacant by reason of the disbar-
ment of A E. Schwittay, who was
suspended as district attorney. On
first view most attorneys are in.
clined to think the Office now vacant,
but it is doubted whether or not this
view is correct.
The actual Judgment in the disbar-
ment case has not been filed yet. The
decision announced was copy of the
original findings The original will
not be filed until after the elapse of
Is days, the time given Special Pros
ecutor H o. Fairchild to draw the
Judgment and submit 1t to all attor'
neys in the action and the court. I'm.
til this judgment is filed the office Is
not legally vacant.
Another question presented Ia
whether or not the office is consid.
cred vacant legally if SchWittay car.
ries the disbarment action to the SUI
preme court. There are those who
think that until after the time had
elapsed in which such an appeal could
be made that the Office would not be
considered vacant.

Better Than a DRUG.

THE late Senator Platt," said an
Albany legislator, had a cynical wit.
Talking about a politician who had
changed his party, he once said to
me:
circumstances alter everything
political views, religion, even health.
Why, I've got a friend who is af-
ficted with insomnia i n it's worst
form, and yet every morning that
man sleeps as sweet and sound as
newborn babe when his wife crawls
over him to start the fire."

New Asylum for Oshkosh.

new Asylum Tor oshkosh.
The state board of control has
adopted plans for new hospital for
the criminal insane to be erected
near the present hospital for the in
sane in Oshkosh.
The structure will consist of three
brick buildings connected. They will
be surrounded by large grounds in
closed in a high concrete wall.
1t will accommodate about 100 per-
Sons and cost about 100000. The
state legislature already has made an
appropriation of 100000 for the
building.
The board will advertise for bids
at once and they probably will be
opened in about a month.
It was decided to advertise for bids
to extend a heating tunnel to one Of
the new cottages at the state indus
trial school for boys in Waukesha.
The cost will be about $500.
The Hartford Boiler Insurance COM
pany has condemned the boilers in
the state school for the blind in
GAINESVILLE, and the board of control
has decided to install boilers that
were used in the capitol building and
are still in good condition.
Plans for an addition to the county
asylum for the insane in La Crosse
have been approved. The addition
will cost about $4,000.

Compact Means Much

The full import of an agreement en-
tered into about three weeks ago, be
tween the Wisconsin Federation OF
Labor and the Wisconsin branch OF
the American Society of Equity, Is
just beginning to dawn upon those
most interested in the subjects likely
to come before the next legislature
for consideration This agreement
virtually will restrict members Of
both bodies to buy from and sell to
each other, and it will precipitate in
the next legislature a fight for the
repeal of the restraint of trade
feature of the Wisconsin antitrust
law.
The momentous character Of this
movement will be more fully realized
when it Is known that with $4,000
members OF the Equity society and
$4,000 of the Federation of Labor, its
hackers represent a large percentage
of the voters among the farmers and
the Iaboring men.
Also it will be remembered that In
the legislature. which still holds office
there were SO members who could be
depended upon to vote for projects
fathered by the farmers society
while five Socialists swelled the total
representation of the combined organ
izations to Al, to say nothing of a
scattering of legislators whose con-
stituents are mostly laboring men
and who also could be depended upon
in a great many cases.

WISCONSIN LEAD
AND ZINC MINES
Sales for Week Are in Excess of
Production.
STATE FIELD MAKING RECORD
Better Conditions Made Themselves
Manifest in the Zinc Mining
Field at Mineral
Point.

Madison-Better conditions made
themselves manifest in the zinc
mining field at Mineral Point for the
week, the sales of both zinc and lead
ore being far in excess of the pro-
ductiOn, the surplus being materially
reduced. This condition prevailed in
the Missouri region also, where sheet
producers are closing down, and the
production is not as great as That of
a few months ago.
Buyers were in the field early ma
king bids on a $4100 basis for 80 per
cent. ore, and the demand for the
choicer grades held up for the entire
out of the Illinois field, which has
,contented itself with the better
grades of ore, it is learned will soon
be in the market for the lower grades
of ore, stimulating competition still
further. Lead ore has been on the
rise, $50 being offered and accepted
at several points in the field, while
metal is holding up strong at $4.35, at
the close of business, which was linn

principally to filling old contracts.
Receipts were larger and shipments
smaller than usual. The monthly av-
'erage for lead ore during the month
of July on New York quotations was
$455 per hundredweight and for lead
ore $40 per ton.
The larger buying firms reported
considerable business in raw ores
for the month Of July and the re-
ports submitted show that the Wis
-Consin field at present is making a
record fully as good as that estab-
Iished for the year 1909, the banner
year In the history of lead and zinc
mining in this field. The American
Zinc Ore Separating company, at
Platteville, reported contract of IL
cars with the foresight mine at
Platteville, two cars of the Calvert
mine at Benton, three cars with the
new Lucky Twelve Mining company,
one car each from the Little Minnie
and Etna Hill mines at Benton, two
cars from the Beloit-Elmo mine at Big
Patch, two cars from the Peaceful

POLICE
AND MOB CLASH
PARIS REvOLUTIONARiES IN
OPEN DEFIANCE OF LAW
FIGHT GENDARMES.

Paris, France, July 1O.-Another
serious clash between gendarmes and
revolutionaries, such as are contlnu-
ally breaking out in Paris, occurred
recently, illustrating a remarkable
situation. Open defiance OF the law
was met by the police bravely but
leniently. A tiny street near the
central markets, the Rue Aubry-le-
Boucher, was the scene of this, as OF
many former outbreaks.
The proprietor of dramshop
sought to eject a noisy customer. Po-
liceman Jondot, who is the hero OF
the story, arrested the disturber. The
officer was surrounded by hundreds or
socalled Apaches and market port
ers. shouting, Death to the police
mani" and Remember Labuef!
Liabeuf is the man who some time
ago started out armed with a revolv-
err, knives and spiked iron sleeves to
kill a few policemen. He did kill one
and was guillotined publicly at dawn
a week ago amid riots which were
uuelled only by charges of cavalry
with drawn saberS. Since the execu-
ton of the assassin wOuld-be aveng-
ers have been arrested almost daily.
Jondot stood against a wall, holding
the struggling prisOned with his left
hand and defending himself with his
right. Sticks of wood were thrown
at him and ugly knives were drawn.
The gendarme raised his revolver
but, according to the policy of leni-
once adopted by the police, did not
fire. He was almost blinded and was
covered with blood and cuts when aid
arrived.
Meanwhile a porter had summoned
the police. a dozen of whom soon ap-
peared. Five rioters were arrested
with difficulty in the midst of the
crowd, which then sought the porter
who had brought the aid. They near
ly killed the man before he was res
cued by the police. The five men
arrested were found to be armed with
murderous knives, brass knuckles and
revolvers.
It is the general impression that
certain revolutionary newspaper is
backing the men concerned in the
outbreaks and it is understood that
secret league of revolutionaries are
sworn not to heed the police, to re-
sist arrest and smash the cops at
every opportunity Sergeant Fevrier,
who captured Liabeuf at the point of
the bayonet, has been the victim of
repeated attempts at assassination
When urged TO get himself transferred
to another district NE replied, If
left would appear to fear them.
Rather death than dishonor to the
uniform wear"
