DECLARED SANE.

Julia Nowacki, of the town of Riet-
brock, appeared in county court Fri
day to make application for a judg-
ment of sanity. 1t appears from the
records that she was sent to the state
hospital in Winnebago in 1907 and re-
mained there two years and two
months, being paroled last December,
Her commitment leads back to an
occurrence which transpired on the
18th of June. 1906. 1t appears that a
controversy arose that year in the
Catholic church located in Rib Falls,
and on the night of June II some one
threw some explosive material into
the church and at the house occupied
by the priest, Rev. j. Miller. The ex-
plosives wrecked windows and at the
time it was thought dynamite had
been used. Subsequent developments
showed that nothing but giant fire
crackers had been exploded. Frank
LukOwicZ and Stanislaus Krolikowski
were arrested and in the February
term of circuit court the following
year their case was nolled.
In the meantime Mrs. NowacA' (
husband was sent to the state HOSPITAL
for insane, and shortly thereafter she
stated to neighbors that she had a
secret which was troubling her. Talk.
ing continually about this secret il
was thought that she was insane, and
she was committed To the Northern
state hospital, where she was con
fined the time stated above.
After she had been committed hel
husband made a confession in which
he said in substance that he was the
guilty party who threw the fire
crackers. The woman. however
was kept in the institution over tive
years. She made application last
Friday to be declared sane. and iudg
ment was so rendered.

r. N. Rogers of Cincinnati, repre-
senting the Peters Cartridge company

to interest members of Merrill's de-

Wausau, Antigo, Marshtield, Toma-

cities. Most of these localities are
now supplied with very active gun
clubs that have interesting contests

our admiring attention. A little frill
OF lace surrounds the face and peeps
from under the very broad band Of
velvet ribbon which is laid about the
bonnet This band terminates in a
long single end, which, when not
wound about the neck, will fall below
the knee. The end falls from the left
side. The frame curves in to fit the
neck and a fiat or "tailor's" bow of
narrower velvet ribbon Is sewed to
the bonnet at this point. The combina-
ton of cream lace and the rich black
of the velvet is handsome, but this
pretty piece of headwear would be in
complete without the little Marie
Louise roses and small foliage, that
add the required touch Of color. These
are in fine silk with a high luster.
They are in peculiar pink, having a
blue-gray cast and shade into centers
with a dark petunia red. Three single
roses and a cluster of two are set
about the bonnet on a velvet band.
This model has the virtue Of, being
suited to evening wear at any season
of the year and to the fashionable
promenade at summer or winter re-
sorts in the daytime. The design IS
not one of the sort to have wide
vogue-it is not what Is termed

son is never questionable. The lin
ing in such dainty hats is of maline,

finishing touch Of great distinction
and is arranged to suit the fancy of
the wearer. Wound about the throat

feet long. Those on the hayracks are
made right In the line of parts; that
is, the bottom Of the trough is cut out
where the post goes through and the
sides Of the trough pass up and down
on each side of the post. Then at
each post small rope is fastened to
the trough, then passes over pulley
up about feet on the post, then

inch gas pipe, and then a 15-pound
weight Is tied to the end of the rope.
The gas pipe is one straight line tight

There is crank on one end of the
pipe The iron weight balances the
weight of the trough so that by turn
ing the crank the trough can be raised

inches wide are then nailed on each
side of the post, leaving space Of
about ten inches through which the
trough can be raised and lowered. The

The feedracks divide the lower floor,
all of which is used for the sheep,
into four spaces about twelve feet
wide IN the clear. There are doors nine
feet wide at each end of each space
to allow driving through with a ma
nure spreader. The end section of
each feedrack is left out so that the
sheep may pass freely to any part of
the barn, writes Lee Colony Of John

moved little away from the hay,
which makes it possible to throw the
hay directly into the racks below all

that is thrown down the central chute

This is an excellent season for

bits of lace may be employed Not
the least of these is a garniture on
ones new millinery. Some of the very
smartest hats are to be trimmed with
lace or made entirely of it. White
lace is especially favored, and will be
seen OF picturesque bonnets as well
as on smart walking toques. One OF
the new designs is a bonnet made OF
white lace and trimmed with ruchings
of narrow black velvet. The only 9TH
er garniture is posy of tiny pink
roses. A toque of black straw has
jabot of white lace going up the front
and over the crown something after
the manner of an ostrich plume.
