PROBE MAY COVER PRIMARY
Senator Hepburn, Chairman Of Steph-
enson Investigating Committee, De-N
cIares Scope of Work Uncertain.

Milwaukee.-Un the committee
appointed to investigate the election
of Senator Isaac Stephenson meets in
Milwaukee early in October, it will
not be known whether the investiga-
ton will be confined to the election
of Senator Stephenson or whether the
primary nomination will be included
in the investigation.
This was the statement made by
Senator w B. Hepburn, chairman of
the committee, who stopped over in
Milwaukee while on his way from
Washington to his home in Wallace,
Idaho
Senator Heyburn's visit was for
the purpose of looking over the situa-
tion and making preliminary arrange
ments for the meeting of the commit
tee.
There will be much interest taken
in the decision of the committee re-
garding the scope Of the investiga-
ton. Those opposed to Senator Steph-
enson are anxious that the commit
tee take up the expense at the
primary election, as that was where
Senator Stephenson money was
spent.
If the investigation extends to the
in session six or seven weeks.

ACQUIT WOMAN OF MURDER
Marinette Judge Frees Mrs. Wertei-
wski, Charged With Staying Hus-
band-Death Was Accidental.

Marinette.-Mrs. Mary Wertelew-
ski, the Pound woman charged with
the murder of her husband, has been
freed from custody. Judge Bernar-
dy, the examining magistrate, dis
charged the woman, finding that her
dead husband had come to his death
by fall down stairs.
When the opinion of the court was
announced. there was applause and
cheering for the defendant and rela-
tives and friends hurried to her side,
kissing and embracing her. The dem
onstration was the most marked ever
seen in a local courtroom
There is considerable feeling
against the officers who examined the
body of the deceased and brought
the head, heart and lungs here as
trial exhibits. One report is that
Mrs. Wertelewski will sue for $780,
900 damages for her arrest and the
mutilation of her husbands remains.
The village of Pound, where the
woman resides, is badly stirred up
over the autopsy and the arrest of
the woman and an interesting scene
is expected when the officers RENTER
the parts of the body.
The state, at the time, was con-
fident it had a strong case, but one
of the chief witnesses, Hebrew
peddler, who saw the body in the
house, did not tell the story expected
on the stand. In fact, the entire case
of the state went glimmering, al
though it claimed to have even the
piece of iron with human hairs on
it, which it was asserted the woman
had used in dispatching her husband.

Fee for Hunting Licenses.

Madison General Ban
croft has ruled that a county clerk
may charge a reasonable fee for cler-
ical and notarial work in making out
hunting licenses and require appli-
cants for such licenses to pay the

county, where the county clerk has
been charging so cents for making
out hunting license, which, with the
license fee of 81, made charge of
$3.50 for each applicant

FATAL EXPLOSION IN BAKERY
One Man Meets Death in Blast in
Madison stabIishment-Side of
Building Is Torn Out,

Madison - Michael Lindauer a
baker, was killed and several others
slightly injured by the explosion of
a boiler in the rear of the bakery
of George w. Spencer. Several bak
ers who were working in the front
part of the building escaped unhIrt.
Lindauer's leg was blown off and
carried a distance of about twenty
feet 1t was found in an alley, as
were also other parts of his body.
He was about SO years old and leaves
a wife and six children.
The explosion tore out one side Of
the rear part of the building and
timbers were carried for distance
of several blocks. It's force was felt
in all parts of the city.

JOYS OF HoUsE-CLEANING
Times Have Changed, and Consider.
ably for the Better, for the Head
of the House.

Once upon a time we used to beat
carpets by hand, and the time of
spring cleaning was the time when
paterfamilias felt called upon to work
late at the office. 1t was wonderful
the way business increased just about
that time.
II it didn't go, because some men
have wives with the gift of second
sight, it was customary to drop in a
drug store on the way home and drink
some aromatic spirits of ammonia and
go home and lie in cool place with
a wet towel tied about ones head, for
the spring sun sometimes works that
way on a fellow.
But of late the automatic, back-ac-
ton suction cleaner has been called
upon to do the beating. which is not
beating after all, but cleaning by sue
ton. much as an elephant takes wa
ter.
In fact, the superstition is that the
elephant was the first suction cleaner
ever invented. You threw peanuts on
the floor and the elephant sucked them
in with the ease of a modern carpet
cleaner, absorbing dust and tacks and
blue-headed pins.
So now a man can go home and let
the suction cleaner do the work. He
finds it's rubber nose poked into the
innermost recesses of his closets. He
finds that nothing is hid from it-not
even the 81 pint and half-pint bottles
he has hid away from view from time
to time.
No more does he break his back
pounding carpets on line while the
neighborhood gasps for breath, says
bitter things and thinks OF injunc-
tons.
For the times have changed and the
ways have changed. and beaten car
pet now is as rare as pterodactyl.

New Cheese Territory Develops.

Madison.-A new cheese territory
is developing in Wisconsin. In Polk
county the number of cheese factor
les increased from to IS, and in
Barron county from to IA, from
1905 to 1910. These facts are
brought out in bulletin just issued
from the Wisconsin Experiment Sta
ton. Cheese factories in Lincoln
county increased from 4 to IS, in
Marathon county from 43 to 81 and
in Clark county from 81 to so. There
has been a healthy, vigorous growth
all over the state and in many coun-
ties not considered as in the cheese
district heretofore, the number of
factories has doubled
In the south central portion, COM
prising the old dairy region of Dodge,
Columbia and Dane counties, cheese
factories have increased to the det-
riment of the butter making indus
try.
