Washington, ID. C.-With the de-

The use of money in the Stephen

domination of that system either in
the committees report or by mem

BADGER FUR BUSINESS GOOD
PeIts in Wisconsin Bring So, 100000
Per Year, Says Report of Game
Warden's Department.

Madison.-Trapping of fur bearing
animals is still an industry of much
magnitude in Wisconsin. This is
gathered from figures given to the
state fish and game department Two
million dollars annually represent
the sales of pelts. Seven hundred
and fifty thousand muskrats,. it is
estimated, are trapped in year, and
at As cents rat are worth $337,-
500. Three hundred thousand skunk
skins a year are sold for an average
of $3.50, or a total of $3.50, 1000. One
hundred thousand mink are caught
annually. These are worth on aver
age $3.50 each, or a total of $780,
600. 1t is estimated that other fur
bearing animals, including coons,
foxes, weasels, wildcats, fishers, mar
tens, beavers, offers, gray foxes and
occasional opossums bring the hunt
ers and trappers at least 100000.
In the Winneconne marsh district
alone, it is said, 10000 muskrats
have been caught this year. Certain
of these animals bring high prices.
A silver fox was bought recently by
a Madison fur buyer for $275.

APPRENTICE LAW is SCORED
Manufacturers Say Limitation of 81
Hours of Work Per Week Is
Check to Ambitious Bows

Milwaukee.-Mem of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
ton assailed the recently enacted ap-
prentice law before members of the
Wisconsin industrial commission at
a conference held here.
The law in question. instructs en-
pioyers of1sapprentices to limit the
period of labor to ffty-fve hours a
week, five of which should be de-
voted to educational advancement.
Objections to the measure were
raised by manufacturers, claiming
such laws completely shattered the
present order of labor; that ambi-
tious boys learning trade should not
be checked by a time limit, and
should not be compelled to spend five
hours weekly in a schoolroom when
industrial advancement and perfec-
ton was what they desired.
1t was thought enforcement of
such law would impair progress in
the output of manufactured product
and greatly cripple dealers who
would be unable to meet obligations.

DOUBLE KENOSHA MURDER
Outraged Husband Stays Wife ana
His Cousin With Hatchet-Won1an
Preferred the Younger Man.

noSha.-Riyaling in it's atrocity
the crimes which made the White
chapel district in London famous
during the career of Jack the Rip
per, KenOsha has had double MUIR
der, the most horrible ih the Grim
lnal annals of this section of the
state. Pasquale Marchesi, aged 81
years, brutally hacked to pieces with
Ratchet, his wife, Rosario Marchesi
and Pasquale Marchesi, aged 10
years, whom he alleged to have been
her paramount. The man and woman
were in bed together at the home Of
Marchesi at the time of the crime.
The murderer made his way into
the house through window and
struck SO suddenly that the man and
woman had no chance to escape or
make defense. The bodies of both
were horribly mutilated. After
wandering aimlessly for twelve
hours, Marchesi went to the Rev
Auf. BandiZonne, and gave himself
up. He was landed in pail, where
he made written confession of his
crime. He claims that he was entire
ly justified by the unwritten law and
seemed to glory in the horrible fea-
lures of his crime
Pasquale Marchesi, the slain man,
had lived for some time in the home
of his cousin, after whom he was
named, and there were numerous
quarrels because of Mrs Marchesi' S
alleged preference for him.

NEW LAW TO BE EMF FORCED
Parents and Guardians of Truants
Are Liable to Fine and lmprison-
ment If They Disregard Notifica-
ton from Officials.

MadiSon.-Truancy among school
children in Wisconsin is decreasing
Last year out of 100000 children
who were required by law to attend
school regularly about 10000 failed
TO do SO and were consequently
classed as truants. This year the
number of truants will be consider
ably decreased.
The laws require that children be-
tween the ages of and IA years and
those between l. and 16 years of
age who are not regularly and law
fully employed shall become enrolled
in and regularly attend some public,
private or parochial school as fol-
lows:
Milwaukee. during the entire
school year; in other cities, eight
months; in towns and villages, six
months. The law further provides
that cities of 1000 or more inhabi-
tants shall appoint one or more tru-
ancy officers. For towns, cities or
villages of less than 1000 popula-
ton the sheriff and his deputies are
~-~-NN@N
OF the school principals and teachers
to compare the school enrolment
with the school census reports for
the purpose of ascertaining what
children are delinquents and to fur
nish list of truant children to-
gether with a list of the names and
addresses of their parents to the
proper truancy officers. Superin-
tendents are further required to re-
port names of delinquents each
month to the state industrial COM
mission.
Upon receipt of the names of tru-
ant children the truancy officers
must notify the persons in control of
such children to send them to school
within five days of the receipt of the
notice. If this notice is UNDECIDED
that fact must reported to the indus
trial commission by the truancy Off
Ger, who must then bring an action
against the parent or other person in
control of the child for violation of
the law, such action to be prosecuted
by the district attorney.
Upon conviction, the person shall
be punished by fine of not less than
SIS nor more than $50, together with
the costs of the prosecution, or by
Imprisonment in the county jail for
a term not exceeding three months,
or by both fine and Imprisonment.

TOAD ACTS AS A BAROMETER
Reptile ForeteIs All the Changes in

A police station In a western city

It is frog of the genus Hyla, general

was induced to act as a barometer by
a policeman who was formerly an old
frontiersman.
He threw into glass jar some
stones and added couple of inches
Of water. Then he whitfield out a lit
tie wooden ladder and put it into the
jar. After some lively scrambling a
treetoad was caught, placed In the
jar and a tin lid screwed above him.
The weather indicator was complete.
When it is going to be fair weather
the toad roosts on the top round of
the ladder, solemnly blinking the
hours away. From twelve to fifteen
hours before change to bad weather
the toad begins to climb down. and
hours before storm sets in he
squats himself on stone, and, with
his head just above the surface Of
the water, peers aloft at the coming

says, and the toad goes up and down
the ladder like sacred MILDLY When

subsequently passed.

Madison.-Prof. A. A Johnson,
principal of the new Milwaukee coun-
ty school of agriculture, and former
principal of the La Crosse county
school of agriculture and domestic
economy, has written a government
bulletin on County Schools of Agri-
culture and Domestic Economy in
Wisconsin" which has just been is

ment of agriculture 1t contains il
lustrated accounts of the work done
at the following schools: Wausau,
Marathon county; Menomonie, Dunn
county; Winneconne, Winnebago
county, and Onalaska, La Crosse
county.
Wisconsin was the first state in
the Union to organize county school
OF agriculture and domestic econ
omy, writes Prof Johnson. 1.-The
early history Of secondary agricul-
tural education in. this state dates
back to the winter of 1899, when the
state legislature appointed Dir. L. D.
Henry, then state superintendent Of
pubic instruction, q commissioner,
to investigate and report upon the
methods of procedure in this and
other states and counties, in manual
training and in the theories and arts
OF agriculture in the public schools.
The Legislature of 1901 passed
law embodying the recommends
lions of DR.. Harvey and permitting
the establishment of two schools.
Secondary agricultural education
In Wisconsin is largely adapted to
the conditions found in the counties
where such schools are located. Spe-
clal efforts are made to furnish ad-
ditional opportunities for schooling
to the "a out of every 100 rural and
urban school children who would
otherwise finish their education with
the common schools. These county
schools are, strictly speaking, agri-
cultural trade schools and have for
their sole object the educating of the
farmers boys and girls who do not
wish TO take up an extensive college
course, but who are anxious to get
that form of training which will be
most useful to them when they take
charge OF the home farm or the farm
home. The school is made the edu-
catlonal center of the community
and the farmers are free to call upon
1t for assistance in any line of work
pertaining to farming and home max
ing"

consin schools is given as follows for
