KIDNAPPED MADISON
CHILD MURDERED
BODY OF 7-YEAR-OLD DAUGH-
TER OF LABORER is FOUND
IN LAKE MONORA.
LARGE REWARD FOR SLAYER
Citizens of Madison Raise Fund of
$1,000 and City Offers a Like
Amount-Autopsy Reveals Child
Was Not Degenerate's Victim.

Madison.-The search for little An
nie Lemberger, the 7-year-old Madi-
son girl who it is believed was stolen
while fast asleep, was ended when
her body was found in Lake Monona
1t was about ten feet from shore at
the south city limits, about a mile
from the home of the chiId's parents
While the mystery of her where
abOuts was incidentally solved, still
deeper mystery, the motive for her
murder, is now presented. Her faith
or, who is a common laborer, had no
money to pay a possible ransom, and
one theory is that the child was stOl-
en- and killed for revenge
There was no visible evidence Of
animation disclosed, beyond a slight
laceration of one ear. A discolora-
ton on the neck, however, as if from
unnatural causes, may indicate that
the child was strangled. The little
body was entirely nude and was dis
colored, having been in the water
four days.
AT IHe autopsy 1t was 1Ound tnat
there was no water i'll the lungs
Facts revealed seemed to indicate
that the child was slugged and then
tossed into the lake.
The citizens Of Madison decided to
offer reward of $1,000 for the con-
victfon of the murderer of Annie
Lemberger. Mayor Schuber has Of
fered similar reward on behalf OF
the city.
John Johnson, an ex-convict, liv-
ing three doors from the LemDerger
home, was arrested on suspicion or
being connected with the crime, and
later released.
The parents of the slain child are
exhibiting grief too genuine to sus-
pect them of any completely, as neigh
borhood gossip has done,

The Dogs Taste.

Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts, apropos Of an immigration
case he had investigated, said the 9th,
er day:
THE trouble with this immigrant
was that he didn't know what was
good for him. We are all more or less
like that. The things that are best
for us are the things we most dislike.
Mr.. Gardner smiled.
"a woman" he said, was complain
ing about the depredations of her dog.
"'Only yesterday she cried, he
broke into the larder.
Dear mel said her interlocutor.
Did he eat much?'
"'He ate,' she replied, every bless
ed thing except the dog biscuit. "

WhY It's Catnip.

Persons who we're in the lobby Of a
New York hotel when a chauffeur
brought back a bunch of vegetation
from the country got chance to dis
cover Why catnip is called such.
There was lot of it in the armful
brought into the hotel by the driver,
and no sooner had the odor got below
stairs than Dick, the official feline,
marathoned up, closely followed by his
understudy. Neither had ever seen
catnip before, but both made springs
at it. and tore punches from the car

T|ML|N RAPS FREE
USE OF INJUNCTION
TENDENCY SHOULD BE Dis
COURAGED, SAYS ASSOCIATE
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
DELAYS LAW ENFORCEMENT
Jurists Opinion Interrupts Motions
OF Attorneys to Prevent State
Officials from Carrying Out Pro-
visions of New Measures.

MadlSon.-An attack on the use of
inJunctiOnS to prevent the enforce
ment of new laws was implied i'll
statements made by Associate Justice
OF the Supreme Court w. II. Timlin
when he called the attention of At
torney General Bancroft to the grow
ing tendency TO prevent the eXecu-
ton of important new laws by in
junction and declared it would be well
for the states attorney to proceed
slowly and cautiously in doing any
thing to encourage such tendency.
Judge Timlin's warning was given
after several motions had been sub
mitted for injunctions to restrain
state officers from acting under new
laws providing for the compensation
of injured workmen, a graduated tax
on incomes and for state regulation
and taxation of waterpOwers.
Motions were made by the Wau-
sau Street Railway company, the
Chippewa Valley Railway, Light and
Power company, the Northwestern
Steel and Iron company, and the
Southern Wisconsin Power company
for injunctions to restrain state Off
GERS from enforcing the waterpowers
law until it could be tested in the
courts.
Former Judge Carpenter Of Mil
waukee made a motion to advance
for argument the case of Bordnis
VS.. the Falk Manufacturing company
involving the constitutionality of the
workmen's compensation act.
Briefs on these cases have been
filed with the Supreme court and
an early decision is expected.

from a terrific storm, Walter Theiler,
aged 20, of New Glarus, Wis, and

is about mile from the seminary
buildings, when the storm broke.
They sought shelter under big pine
tree near the seminary when the tree
was struck by a bolt and both were
killed.
When the two did not return, a
searching party was organized and
the bodies, without a dlsfiguring
mark, were found under the tree.
The storm, which brought death to
the two students, did much damage
to crops in the vicinity of Plymouth,
Franklin and Elkhart.

TEN INJURED IN RAIL CRASH
Dense Fog Causes Collision on the
Northwestern Road Near Oak
feld-No Fatalities.

Fond du Lac.-Ten men were in
Jured in a head-on collision between
two light engines and a wrecking
train on the Northwestern line, three
miles north of Oakfeld.
The wreck is supposed to have been
caused by the dense fog which pre-
vailed at the time and which made
it impossible for the crews of the
two trains to see each others ap-
proach. All of the injured were
members of the two train crews. None
will die. Traffic on the division was
tied up throughout the day, the
track being torn up for distance of
several hundred feet.

The first edition of the printed Bible

Northwestern Colorado as the destina-
| tion in view
north-and-south railroad in this part
of the United States is a most popular
| undertaking. 1t has a fascination to the
| inhabitants little dreamed of until II is
explained that this region for years has
| been vainly trying to merge with itself.
The transcontinental railroads, bent on
hUrrying through to the coast, have left
the country to east and west strips with
no cross arteries between. 1t is Just
commencing to dawn upon railroad con-
structors that the commerce OF this land
can run north and south as we'll as
! east and west, and that there are other
main points of destination than New
York and San Francisco Why not Gal
veston on the Gulf of Mexico, and Seat
tie on Puget Sound, if one must have
terminals at seaboard? The new Hahn s
Peak line, therefore has its cordial well
come. not only in Wyoming, but in
Colorado, where it is to penetrate and
relieve a section which has no rail trans
portation in any direction.
North and South Line.
OF course the most fruitful topic OF
railway discussion in growing Wyoming
has been the acquisition of the Colorado
and Southern Road by the Hill sys-
TEN, and the plans for a connecting link
soon to be consummated. The Colorado
and Southern extends from Galveston
into the heart of Wyoming. The Burling-
ton IS already on its way to meet 1t at
Orin Junction. 1t is asserted with conf
dence that the link will be completed
next summer, and that the great $500
mile highway from ocean to ocean by a
diagonal route then will be an accom-
plished fact. The Denver markets are
already licking their chops in anticipation
OF the commerce to flow by reason Of
the opening of this new highway. In
Cidentally, the cross artery will allow
Wyoming to shake hands with itself for
the first time in its career. The State Is
now walled of into three seperate tiers.
running east and west, the Union Pacific
occupying the southern border of the
State the Chicago and Northwestern rum
ming through Central Wyoming. and the
Burlington winding in and out of the
northern border. The Burlington's line
from Billings to Thermopolis, which is
now being extended to Orin Junction,
will intersect each of these roads. Among
the marvellous things this project will
accomplish will be the shortening up the
distance between Denver and the fertile
Big Horn Basin by over 400 miles.
To reach Northern Wyoming and the
country east of the Yellowstone from
Denver these days, it is necessary to
travel in no less than five States Sue
cessively, so roundabout are the connec-
tions between the transcontinental sys-
TENS.
