Shanghai, Oct. 26.-The capture OF
Changchu by the revolutionists was
announced in dispatches which

ment With Kiukiang in undisputed
possession of the rebels, the imperial
fleet has retreated on down the river

far eastward as Wuhu. Conditions
are ominous not only in Wuhu but
also in Nanking. Most of the Manchr
officials have left these two cities ant
are crowding into Shanghai, where
every hotel is already filled with refu
gees.
The taoti of Shanghai became 81
alarmed over the possibility of tht
secession of the native city to the
rebels that he removed his household
to the foreign settlement. The taot
of Marking has also put himself undeI
the same protection.
The city of Suchow is in panic, ow
ing to he revolutionary threats o
5000 weavers whose wages have beel
unpaid for long time.
Revolutionary agents here an

FURTHER BELIEVING, that it is
necessary in order to compel SOME
of the Saloon Keepers of this city
to run their place of business in ac-
cordance with the laws, ordinances,
and the license granted each of them
for the council, itself as a body, to
assist the Police in enforcing the
regulations, and this it can easily do
by revOking the license of the two
offending parties above mentioned.
The Police alone, no matter how
diIigent they may be, cannot enforce
the law, and if your Honorable Body
will act in accordance with law and
revoke these licenses, we feel sure
that it will be a long step in the
right direction to procure the proper
regulations of the saloons in this city
NOW THEREFORE,, in view Of the
above and each and every part there
of, we respectfully request your Hon
orable Body to Immediately take such
steps as are proper, legal and mes
cessary to have the license of Edward
Berg and Charles Wakely revoked.
If it is necessary in accordance
with law that complaint should be
made, we respectfully ask the Chief
of Police of this city, who is fully
informed of the two above mentioned
cases to make such complaint, but
If he refuse and it is the desire of
the Council that any one of the I'M
dersigned make such complaint, any
and all of us stand ready to make
the same upon being informed that
the Council is ready to act upon com
plant being made. We deem it, how
ever, the duty of the City Attorney
to draw the necessary papers, and
as above stated, we stand ready to
make the complaint, in case the Chief
of Police or other proper officers of
the City refuse to do so.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted, and we sincerely pray that
immediate action be taken on this,

garding the quantities of wild fruits
that have been shipped to city mar
kets
The records of one of the big ex-
press Companies shows that during
the past year $4,000 quarts of blue
berries and black berries were ship
ped out of this village. With wild
strawberries and raspberries added
this total would be not less than 90
600 quarts. The money represented
would be about $1,000 paid to these
who picked the berries.
The above totals were gathered as
representing the fruit which had
grown entirely wild Records show
that under cultivation, the fruit
shrubs will produce five times the
crop that wild shrubs will produce.
This IS true in the case of black
berries and strawberries. Up to the
present time it has not been posi-
bic to produce blueberries or buckle
berries under cultivation. Many are
experimenting at the present time
With fair hopes Of success.

The Post Publishing Company, Apple
tor Wisconsin, Gentlemen: Hon
j. O. Emery, dairy and food commits
sioner, has been re-appointed, and the
governor is to be congratulated on
this appointment. Mr. Emery is an
officer who will administer the dairy
and food laws of this state faithfully
and solely in the public interest
The supreme court has decided tina
manufacturers of glucose cannot sell
their products under the misleading
terms of corn syrup, honey drops, etc
| am receiving many letters daily,
and take this way of answering them
all, being member of the committee
on dairy and food. Now the facts
are that the profits to be made selling
glucose for real syrup prices are e.
normous. The wholesaler and retail
er complain bitterly over what they
call the foolish and restrictive legis-
lation in wisconsin, which requires
that the manufacturers tell the truth
on the label of their products, If
other states by their legislatures and
courts would insist in the Wisconsin
standard of truthfulness in labelling
food products, the public would be
protected. We have a food commits
sioner who believes in our laws, who
believes in their enforcement and
enforces them. | shall stand for the
interests of the public good at the ex
pense of a loss of revenue to the

portions
