DISMISSAL OF LIQUOR SUITS
Waukesha Saloonkeepers Not to Be
Prosecuted for Sunday Selling
Are Given a Warming.

Waukesha.-Following long con-
ference between Mayor Love, Dis
trict Attorney Evans and the attor-
neys for the defense in the case of
the state against Simon Lattner, a
saloonkeeper, charged with selling
liquor on Sunday, Mr.. Evans made a
motion in municipal court that all
cases against liquor dealers, arrested
on this charge, be dismissed.
Mr.. Evans said that the expense of
securing convictions would be too
great to warrant a continuance of
the cases already before the court.
Judge Agnew warned the twelve
saloon men that in the future the
law in regard to Sunday closing
would be strictly enforced and ad-
vised them not to sell liquor on Sun

Manufacturers Say Limitation of 81
Hours of Work Per Week Is
Check to Ambitious BOYS.

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-
ployers of apprentices to limit the
period of labor to fifty-five hours a
week, five of which should be de-
voted to educational advancement.
Objections to the measure We're
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.

OconomoWoc.-At the preliminary
hearing in the case of August Hoge,
charged with the murder of his
wife, Mrs. Henrietta Hoge, in this
city Nov. IA, the aged prisoner was
held for trial without bail.
The absence of blood stains on the
face or clothing of the murdered
woman, which has been a battling
feature of the case, had new solu
ton when the counsel for the defense
attempted to bring out the theory
that the pet cat kept by the old cou-
pie might have licked the blood and
also destroyed the pieces of flesh
which were missing from the wounds.

HIS MEMORY Is RESTORED

lily in Scotland.

Seattle, Wash.-One of the most re-
was disclosed in Pierce county when
Jane Patterson Scott began divorce
proceedings against George Scott. The
young woman, whose home was in AL
legheny, Pa, came west a year ago.
She met Scott, wealthy lumber man
ufacturer, in Vancouver, B. c., and
married him. Later he became i'll.
She nursed him back to health only to
have him remember suddenly that he
was married SO years ago in Scotland
and that he had a wife and children
there.
He declares his name is Scott, the
complaint says, but cannot explain
how he came to forget his first wife
so long a period. He does not recall
any fall or illness that would have
tended to impair his memory. His Sec
ond wife was obdurate that there was
nothing for them to do but to separate
and she would secure a divorce.
Meantime Mr. Scott will return to
Scotland and institute search for his
wife and children. The agreement
with the second wife is that if he finds
them he will atone for his long alb
sence by settling in his native land;
If he is unsuccessful In his search he
will return and will again marry his
second wife.

The commission said the plant was
not worth much over 100000. The
company asked the commission to
fix the valuation nearer to the figure
which it was claimed had been paid
for it-S500, 00O-taking into ac-

and also asked that the rates be

Who Elect to Follow Agricultural
Observation-Disclosures Has Done Pho
neer Work in Movement.

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. It contains il
Illustrated 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 a county school
OF agriculture and domestic econ
omy," writes Prof. Johnson. ''The
early history of secondary agricul-
tural education in this state dates
back to the winter of 1899, when the
state legislature appointed DR.. L. d.
Henry, then state superintendent of
public instruction, a 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
a 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-
c1al 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-
cational center of the community,
and the farmers are free to call upon
it for assistance in any line of work
pertaining to farming and home MAX
ing"
The cost of maintaining the Wis
consin schools is given as follows for
l9O9-1910: Marathon, $5,933.95;
Dunn, $1O,425.75; Winnebago, ST.
1860; La Crosse, $14,2S1.02.

Ashland.-The almost unprece-

attended the favorable weather con-

ing season in northern Wisconsin has
led to renewed agitation for the re-
vision of the game laws to prevent
the killing of female deer, for
period of twelve years at least, to
shorten the open season to at least
ten days of November and perhaps
to protect all deer and moose for
closed season of two years or more.

The Dragon Tree.

main and among the most interesting
are the dragon trees, specimen of
which may be seen pictured in this
column.
This tree is more than century
old, and some of greater age, still
standing, are much larger. A tree of
this same species recently blew down
in the island Of Teneriffe and scien-
fists have estimated that it's growth
began before the birth of Christ. In
circumference, age and quantity of
timber the dragon trees rival many
of the great redwoods of California,
and their huge bulbs of spreading
branches often make them appear
much larger. They are the products
of tropical regions where heat and
moisture contribute to their growth.
