Farmers and non-agricuIturists of
the Des Moines Valley, Of what is
known as the bottoms" near keo-
kuk, have been worried into paroxy-
isms lately by parties OF hunters and
other malicious persons who wilfnlly
shoot, the young chickens of those
living in the valley, then either car
ry them off or let them lay where
they have fallen after being struck
with the lead from a shot gun or a
rifle.
Several families in the bottoms
have notified the officers Of the
shooting of their chickens by per-
sons with guns from Keokuk and
some of those who have been so has
ty as to make way with the fowls in
this manner are known and it is sur
prising that they have not better sense
than to kill young chickens, some of
them not more than six and seven
weeks old.
One party reports that four choice
hens were killed last Sunday. the
man behind the gun then walking up
and carrying them away. One day
last week. half dozen "springers
We're laid low with shot gun and
left where they fell.
The practice is one that should be
condemned and those who have
been doing this malicious work of
shooting chickens, take warning and,
as the slang phrase says, "cut it
out.

Wisconsin Teachers Association

The three days session of the fifty
cDnsin Teachers association began
in Milwaukee today and in conse-
quence the public schools of Water
town will be closed today and tomor-
row in order to give the instructors
an opportunity to attend the annual
state meeting. The men and women
who mold the opinions and shape the
destiny Of the coming generation,
5000 strong, will take possession of
two of the largest theatres and many
other smaller halls in milwaukee
which belongs to the teachers of
Wisconsin for the next three days. By
night it is expected that 5000 dele
gates will have arrived, and the next
day it is hoped may bring the attend
ance up to the 5000 mark. Superin-
tendent W. P. Roseman and many of
our local teachers left for the cream
city this morning to attend the con-
vention. The city is preparing to do
them honor, socially, to extend hos
pitality for which Milwaukee is ia
nous, and to follow their discussions,
even though the subject matter may
be beyond the ken of some.
Pensions for teachers may be an
important factor in the discussions of
the meeting. Prof. w. H. Lightly,
University of Wisconsin, who arrived
in Milwaukee yesterday, is one of the
strongest advocates Of a statewide
system of pensions and he will bring
the proposition up.
Meetings of the executive and cleo
ton committees were held last night
and preliminaries were arranged for
and tellers named and details plann-
ed for the election. Three polling
places, with three inspectors for each,
will be maintained in the Alhambra
and Davidson theatres and the Plank
inton house.

FAILS To MAKE
GOOD ON OPTION

The term of the option to par
chase George Wingfields Buckhorn
mine, held by the United States
Smelling and Refining company, has
expired. That the option was not
exercised is said to be due largely
to the tightness of the money mar
ket. 1t is known, that the price
and terms of the option were what
might have been termed stiff, Mr..
Wingfield having no desire to sell
the property.
Since the option expired, the
Buckhorn Mining company is in
