TO DEDICATE COURT HOUSE
Business Men Organize for Purpose
of Holding Appropriate Exercises
During Present Month.

Rhinelander.-Bus men of
this city have organized for the pur-
pose of appropriately dedicating the
new 100000 court house which has
just been finished and accepted by
the county.
1t is planned to make the occasion
a general holiday throughout the
county, and to this end an elaborate
program will be prepared. Leading
men of the county will deliver ad-
dresses and the officials of other near
by counties will be invited to attend
and take part in the ceremonies.
Besides these there will be brief talks
by those who have taken leading
part in securing the building and in
it's actual construction.
The new court house, which is one
of the most modern to be found in a
city of this size in the state, is pat
termed somewhat after the one
recently erected in ManitOwoc county,
having been designed by the same
architect, and was erected at less
than $4,000 above what the original
plans called for. The cornerstone
was laid Nov 1, 1908, although but
little work was done until the fol-
lowing spring.
While the date Of the dedicating
exercises is not fully decided, the
committee having the matter in
charge expects to have all arrange
ments completed within a short time
and the ceremony will probably be
held during the present month.

FOND DU LAC COUNTY
LAND RECLAIMED
BIG DRAINAGE DITCH EXTENDS
THROUGH HALF OF THE
COUNTY.
Project Started by Few Farmers Be-
comes County Wide in Scope.
Water Emptied Into Mil
waukee River.

Eden.-A drainage project which
will reclaim hundreds of acres of
heretofore useless marsh lands has
just been completed by the digging
of the last link of a ditch which now
extends through fully one-half the
county
The project was started by a few
wealthy farmers of this vicinity about
a year ago in an effort to rid their
land of marshy spots, and crew of
experts was engaged for the work.
So successful was the outcome that
when the season opened last spring
a general movement for extending
the ditch was inaugurated.
By the terms of the agreement each
farmer was to bear a share of the
expense proportionate to the amount
of land which would be reclaimed.
The work was started in the vicinity
of Campbellsport and was later ex-
tended north through Eden township,
having a total length of about fifteen
miles
Besides the main ditch, which emp
ties into the Milwaukee river near
TEN of smaller contributory bitches
effectively covering the territory nee
essary. The main ditch has an aver
age width of twelve feet and is about
six feet deep, while the contributory
bitches are six feet wide and about
three feet in depth.
On some of the farms where the
work was started last year crops were
planted on the drained land this
season and have proved among the
best raised in this vicinity, despite
the drouth Of the past summer. Much
of the drained land has been used for
grazing purposes and has been the
best pasture land to be found this
summer.
A similar ditch is under consider
alton for Oakfield township next year,
when the marsL land of the county
will be practically eliminated.

TO FOLLOW DINNER
SOME EXCELLENT IDEAS FOR
SUMNER DESSERT.
Apricot Charlotte One of the Best
Is Splendid Favored With a Good
Blend of Tea-Lemon Custard
Popular.

10 vary the summer dessert course
some time, try apricot charlotte This
is a worthwhile sweet that is not diff.
fcult to do
For it you must dissolve a third of a
package Of gelatin In cold water and
add, after stirring, a cup Of boiling
water, also three-fourths of a cup of
sugar, juice of one lemon and a cup of
apricot pulp from which all traces of
stones and skin have been removed
When it is cooled stir in a cup of
stiffy whipped cream and put in the
icebox until cold after which it is
ready to serve at any time
Some day, for a change, flavor the
gelatin with good blend of tea. Even
those who do not ordinarily care for
the cup that cheers are likely to fall
In love with it in this form.
Soak two-thirds of two-ounce
package of gelatin in enough cold
water to dissolve. Pour over this one
pint Of hot tea, made strong, add
scant cupful Of sugar and the juice
or two lemons. Strain and mold
After cooling put on the ice to thor
oughly chill and serve with whipped
cream
Cool jellies, rennets and frozen COM
pounds, that slip down easily and re-
fresh as they go, seem the ideal des-
serts for hot weather, but there are
always cool days when an oven dinner
IS substituted for the usual cold one,
ana Tor one Of these occasions blue
perry pudding is apt to figure, since
only in summer are the piquant ber-
ries available.
A good way to make 1t is with
sauce, favored with a different fruit,
for instance, cherries.
Separate three eggs and beat. Add
the yolks to a cup of sugar creamed
with a tablespoonful of butter. Add
alternately flour and milk. The flour
should measure two cups and must
have three teaspoons of baking DOW
der s1fted in it. About a cup of milk
Will be required. Flavor with little
nutmeg and add more Lour if neces-
sary to make soft batter At the last
fold in the whites beaten stiff and one
Hour. Bake half an hour. For the
sauce cream fourth cup of butter
with a cup Of sugar and add a cup of
stoned red cherries mixed through.
For lemon custard sweeten two CUBS
OF milk with two ounces of sugar and
the thin grated peel of half a lemon.
add two inches Of stick cinnamon and
Doll up. Beat we'll in a separate bowl
four eggs, then pour in upon them the
milk, little by little, not having it too
hot. Strain through a fine sieve into
plain mold which afterward stand in
covered pan containing just a little
water. Put on the fire and let it SIM
mer for 20 minutes or until it has set.
Take out Immediately, cool and chill
near the ice
Serve with cream and pass candied
lemon peel with it, or instead of the
cream you may use this very simple
sauce: Half pint of water sweet
ened with two ounces of sugar and
boiled down one-half Use very cold.

D|ETZ REFUSES
SAWYER SHERIFF
THE CAMERON DAM DEFENDER
DRIVES BACK OFFICER
WHO SEEKS HIM.
SEEKS OUTLAW AT HIS HOME
Son Gives Warning of Officers Ap-
proach and Sheriff Is Given Com
mand "Hands Up" Before
Coming Closer.

Chippewa Falls.-Sherif Mike
Madden Of Sawyer county, armed with
a warrant to take John F. Dietz,
dead or alive, arrived at Winter, Wis,
and went south ten miles through the
forests to Cameron Dam, where he
met Dietz and had a friendly chat
with the outlaw.
The sheriff told Dietz he had a
warrant for him, but Dietz, armed
with two 3S-caliber automatic revolv-
ers and rife, told Sheriff Madden to
keep the paper in his pocket and if
he took it out he was a dead man.
'fYou have no business here" said
Dietz. "Turn about" he commanded,
pointing north. ''Take that road to
Winter, Don't you look around or
you are a dead man.
Sheriff Madden family smiled and
at once obeyed orders, and did not
stop until he got back to Winter.
The sheriff was unaccompanied.
AS he neared the Dietz home on his
way out one of Dietz's sons gave the
alarm and the sheriff reached the
house by holding up his hands as he
came across the clearing.
District Attorney J. G. Davis at
Hayward says he will appeal to Gov.
Davidson for troops to take Dietz. A
posse of Bert Horels friends at Win
ter have expressed a strong desire
to be allowed to go and get Dietz,
in revenge for his shooting of Horel,
who is now suffering severely at an
Eau Claire hospital Sheriff Madden
would not risk taking an armed posse
for Dietz, but preferred to quietly
inform him of the warrant.
Dietz found a landlOOker on his
place, and with the words, "You spy"
he attacked the man and beat him up
terribly. The landlooker went to the
Kaiser Lumber company's camp near
Cameron Dam and washed, but left
refusing to give his name Or who he
was working for.
Sawyer county authorities are puz-
zled as to how to capture Dietz. Feel
ing runs high against Dietz and this
latest shooting affair has turned the
whole northern country against him.
All land hunters and woodsmen are
leaving the Dietz locality for miles
around, as Dietz is in a terrible rage
over the issuing of this new warrant.
He is provided with fifteen rifles OF
the latest pattern and has ten auto
matte revolvers and hundreds Of cart
ridges.
With his dogs to watch at night
and his house on small hill with
land cleared all around he can hold
a large posse at bay easily. The sher-
if has not decided on what steps to
take next.

ONLY WAY, SAYS WOODWARD
drawal Was Only Reasonable
Option After Report.

Omro.-ftIt was the only manly
thing for me to do" said the Rev.
Daniel Woodward on Monday, referr-
ing to his withdrawal from the Meth
odist Episcopal church and ministry
after the special committee reported
its findings in the Anderson-Wood-
ward controversy.
cit was a test case to determine
whether the power of the superin-
tendent in a district is supreme, even
against the sentiment Of congre-
cation and the action of a church
board. The committee held that Mr..
AndersOn'S power in this instance
was supreme. Therefore nothing was
left Of the issue before the confer
ence, and as | do not agree with
that finding | withdrew from the
church.
Il have no definite plans for the
future. 1t is probable, however, that
[ will take Congregational pastor
ate soon"
The charges preferred against the
Rev. Mr.. Woodward by Supt. Ander-
son grew out of Mr.. Woodward's TAX
ing an active part in the primary
The Rev Woodward's formal no
tice of withdrawal was worded as
follows:
''To the Wisconsin conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church,, Dan
iel Woodward, member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and Of
the Wisconsin conference, hereby
withdraw from the membership and
ministry Of said Methodist Episcopal
church.
fEFirst- I am not willing
to be governed by the extreme au-
thority of any district superintend-
ent, which authority this conference
has declared is his rightful function.
Second withdraw from said
church and ministry because [ will
not remain a member or minister of
any American church which is direct
ly or indirectly political institution.
''Third-I withdraw from said
church and ministry because [ will
not allow any power, directly or in
directly, to deprive me Of any part
of my full citizenship and free polit-
ical ideas and speech"

BIGGEST CHEESE IN WORLD
To Be Exhibited at National Dairy
Show.-WiII Weigh 1000
Pounds.

Appleton.-John L. Jacquot of this
city, one Of the largest Wholesale
cheese merchants in Wisconsin, if not
in the United States, arranged for the
construction Of a 4,000-pound Ameri-
can cheese, the largest ever built in
the world. The cheese, which will
be made in this city, will be built
for exhibition at the National Dairy
show in Chicago, Oct. 20-29. 1t will
cost fully $500 to make and will be
worth from 81 900 to $1,000. The ma
tional association stipulated that the
curds must be furnished by the cheese
factories in Outagamie county, which
had stood the test.
Some idea Of the immense cheese
can be secured from the fact that it
will have to be constructed on a fat
car at the JacquOt cold storage plant
in this city. The work will be super
intended by N. Simon, an expert
cheesemaker of Neenah
1t will take from 10000 to $4,000
pounds of milk to produce the curd
for the big cheese. That will mean
all the milk from 2,1OO Of the best
COWS in Outagamie county for one
day, and it will take $50 dairies to
furnish that milk, and from 400 to
500 men to do the milking Mr..
Simon will be assisted in the making
of the cheese by six Of the best cheese
makers in Outagamie county and by
six helpers. After the dairy show it
will be taken to New York for exhibit
ton and will be cut in one of the
large department stores in Chicago
or New York
