SHERlFF'S SLAYERs CAUGHT
Italian Desperadoes Surrender After
Battle With a Posse Near Rhine.
lander-Threaten Lynching.

Rhinelander.-Afte a desperate
battle with a posse of deputies and
armed farmers, Tony Imperio and
Phillip Roberts, alleged white slav-
ers, have surrendered, one of the
fugitives and a deputy being serious
ly wounded before lack of ammunf-
ton forced the Italian desperadoes
to permit arrest. They are in jail
here.
Sheriff John Radcliffe of Villas
county, shot in attempting to arrest
the Italians at Conover, died of his
wounds and public sentiment is high.
Deputy John Hanson is still alive
and probably will recover, the three
bullets which penetrated his body
having hit no vital spot.
The heavily-armed posse, with
blOodhounds, drove the desperadoes
into an old mill near Star Lake.
Scores of shots were exchanged and
the officers were preparing to set fire
to the mill when the Italians sur
rendered.
AS the train carrying the officers
and prisoners passed through Eagle
River, the crowds became so threat
ening that the deputies drew their
weapons in defense of the prisoners.

GOVERNOR VETOES
DISTR|CT|NG BILL
APPROVAL OF LEGISLATURE S
APPORTIONMENT PLAN RE-
FUSED BY EXECUTIVE.
MEANS RECALL OF sOLONS
Must Again Thresh Out Matter After
Near Adjournment - DISCOUNTED
Congressman Expected to Work
for Revision of Entire Measure.

Acknowledging it neither fair
nor constitutional" Gov. McGOvern
has vetoed the bill apportioning the
state into congressional and legisla-
tive districts. The veto came after
only an hours consideration of the
measure.
This means that the legislature,
which had all but adjourned and
was remaining in status quo until the
governor should report on the final
bills, will be recalled to again thresh
out the apportionment problem, and
for this it is expected the session will
be prolonged for week or ten days.
The redistricting of Milwaukee
county is given as the prime motive
for executive disapproval. AS one of
the most fragrant of the apportion-
ments, the governor cites the joining
of the Third and Fourth wards of
that city, which have a combined pop
ulation of almost $1,000, to form the
Third assembly district, while the
Fourteenth ward with smaller num-
Der of inhabitants than either the
Third or Fourth, alone constitutes an
assembly district He also points
equally grave defects in the sena-
torial apportionments.
1t is the feeling that the veto opens
the door for complete overhauling
Of the entire bill. Several congress
men are reported as being heartily
disguised with the districts which
have been given them, and it is like
ly that the entire Washington dele
cation will bring influence to bear
at Madison in an effort to get a more
satisfactory appOrtionment. Com
paratively few protests on the as
sembly and senatorial district appor-
tionments have been heard from the
state outside of Milwaukee. 1t is
said, however, that Dane county poll
ticians are anxious to get back some
of their old counties and Columbia
county politicians object against be-
ing cut away from Dane county and
out in democratic district.

USE OF TABLE oILCLOTH
May Be Employed as Labor Saver
in an Almost Innumerable
Number of Ways.

Considering the trifiing outlay to be-
gin with, there is nothing to compare
with the table oilcloth as a labor
saver. To begin with the kitchen:
After you have covered your work ia
BILE with it line each drawer in the
kitchen and pantry.
The next day you will want to cover
your molding board on both sides.
Then get the pretty scalloped kind and
use instead of paper on your pantry
shelves Oilcloth will make bibs for
the children and napkins to put I'M
der their plates.
Pink each piece neatly. Put squares
of oilcloth under the tablecloth where
hot dishes are placed. If you use an
oil heater have some boards fastened
together, cover with dark-cOlored oil
cloth and place castOrs underneath.
Some pieces to place under pOtted
plants, when you wish them on man
tel, piano or window ledge, are handy
to save the wood finish.
Oilcloth also makes neat washstand
covers and splashers for the servants
or boys room.

WASHING THE CHAM0IS GLOVE
Great Care to Be Exercised if the
Operation Is TO Be in Any Way
Successful.

In washing channels gloves do not
wiring them or even squeeze dry, as
with ordinary glove cleaning. The
skins pull easily and vsriEg1ng breaks
the tender fabric. Put the rinsed
gloves into a thick Turkish towel and
press out most of the moisture, then
hang them in a strong current OF air
to Dry. Fasten the pair together by
buttons and hang with fingers down
The shrinking, Of which many women
complain in chamois glove washing,
can be overcome by drying the gloves
on the hand, after they come from the
Turkish towel and few minutes air
ing. A pair Of glove trees, however,
also precludes shrinking. Rub gently
until dry. The heat Of the hand makes
this drying a quicker process than
most women imagine and there is lit
tie danger of taking cold. Do not
neglect rinsing as well as washing in
soapy water If you do not wish your
stoves to stifea. But by leaving the

WHEN GARMENTS HANG
SET OF SLIPS TO PROTECT
DRESSES FROM DUST.
Really Sensible Gift That Any Girl
Can Make-Dinity About the Best
Material That Can Be
Used

An attractive though simple gift,
which girl is fashioning herself for
her grandmother, consists of a set of
slips to go over dresses to protect
them from dust when hanging.
The materials used is dimity, as it
is wide enough to make one width
sun1c1ent for each slip. Were silk en-
ployed it would be necessary to have
a seam through the middle-not nee
essar1ly Objectionable, but more work
to make, AS many Of the patterns
which come in dimity are dainty and
pretty, the cotton stuff suits the pur-
pose admirably.
The slip consists of one piece, two
yards long. 1t is folded across the
middle and directly in the center of
the fold circle is cut out to CORE
spond to a neck. The best method
Of getting this correct Is to cut a pa
per disc by laying a plate down for a
pattern. When the paper is folded
in two it will make a semi-circle. This,
laid on the fold of the dimity, two
straight edges being together, makes
the pattern for the circle, which
should be done with sharp scissors
that the material shall not pull.
Muslin beading, two inches wide,
having Sits through which to run rib
bon, is cut into lengths to fit the
round hole and the beading is
whipped on precisely as though it
were lingerie collar. Ribbon chosen
to run through and tie in a pretty bow
should match in color one of the eff
fects appearing in the dimity pattern.
The ribbon should not be put in, how
ever, until all the sewing is done.
The neck completed, the two edges
of the dimity are brought evenly to-
gether and scanned, either by hand or
on machine. The raw edges across
the bottom of course require hemming
and then the slip is complete. 1t is
used by putting the hook of the hang
er on which the garment is suspend,
ed through the hole or neck of the
slip. The cover is wide enough to
permit of its going easily over the
waist and by its presence dust is pre-
vented from gathering on the shout
ders
Another slip for the s=me purpose
is formed by square. 1t is necessary

RepousSe Lace.

All the new laces that have heavy
raised design on a net foundation are
now called repousse. There is wide
demand for this sort Of lace work,
although it differs from file: and the
ecclesiastical laces that are also in
favor. There never was a season like
this one for lace, any way. Whole
rooms are given over to it in some of
the big shops, and machine-made and
handmade kinds vie with each other
in beauty and dignity.
Almost every kind Of lace the world
has known has been revived. No gown
or simple coat suit seems complete
without the addition of some pattern.
The huge revolutionary reVers are
made Of marvellous meshes, sailor col
lars are cut from pieces of square
laces that have figures of all sorts
woven in the net, and stocks and
chemisettes are made from the fine
French laces that have been revived
this summer.

The Wonders About lie

Let not care and humdrum deaden
US to the wonders and mysteries amid
which we live, nor to the splendors
and g1orfes. We need not translate
ourselves in imagination to some 9TH

marvellous, the divine, the transcend

of wonder and appreciation to some
future time and condition. The true
inwardness Of this gross visible world
hanging like an apple on the bough

with all the juices and potencies of
life, transcends anything we have
dreamed of superterrestrial abodes-

The Loneliness of Mr.. GornIy

The Loneliness of Mr.. Gormly.
To his great surprise, George CORN
ly sometimes found himself feeling
lonely, and the oftener so as he grew
older. Every man who has a natural
liking for women,-and what true man
has not?-yet who has no intimate
friendships with or relations to the
other sex, is likely to find himself in
that state of mind sooner or later.
Gormly was sufficiently aged; he was
forty-four although he looked much
younger. He was sufficiently expe-
rienced; he had dealt with women for
a straight quarter of a century al
though he had neither loved nor mar
ried one. He was sufficiently self re-
liant; he had built up by his own I'M
aided efforts the greatest retail mer-
chandise business of his day and gen

ent-for he had done it alone-to have
