Ne,Us Notes of Wisconsin

La CrOSSe.-WOOdmen of theWOrld
of Wisconsin and Minnesota closed
their convention by electing the fol-
lowing officers: Head counsel, E. j.
Reynolds of Madison; head adviser,
J. G. Atkins of Waukesha; head
clerk, G. I. Roos Of Minneapolis; head
escort, L. B. Omerberg of La Crosse;

lace Of Milwaukee; Alfred Fox of Be
lott; James Walker of Cloquet,
Mimi; S. A. Small of Mendoza,
Mimi, and l. E. Poisson Of Minneapo-
lis.
Madison.-Mrs. Anna B. Villas, wild
ow of the late Senator William F.
Villas of Madison, in court at Tacoma,
Wash, was awarded one-fifth interest
in property in Washington state val
ued at $4,000, owned by Senator
Villas at the time of his death in Au-
gust, 1908. Mrs. Villas sued the trus-
tees of the estate and the judgment
is the result of compromise by all
parties concerned including the state
of Wisconsin. The University of Wis
consin was the beneficiary under the
will of the bulk of the estate.
notwithstanding to an official
of the Du Pont Powder company,
claims for damages as result of the
Pleasant Prairie explosion appear to
be endless, but the company is plan
ming on paying all just claims, which
it is said, will amount to $2,500,000.
Broken windows appear to be the
chief item. It has been discovered
that the La1in-Rand company with

La CrOsse.-PapOOses have held up

dams, and until the judges can de-
eide whether Or not the papooses
born since January /, 1910, the date
of the last Indian census, are entitled
to an annuity, the governments
wards must go without their money.
Meanwhile they are quenching their
thirst with water and urging that
wings be put on the wampum.
rshfield.-Burglars have been
operating in this vicinity for two
weeks and secured 5000 from the
Pittsville postoffice. Three men en-
tered the store of Mrs. E. Frederick
at Auburndale and commenced opera
tons. The proprietress came down
and asked them what they wanted
and they fled, firing a shot at her,
but missing.
Racine.-A law suit may result
from the merger of the two local
telephone systems as four stockhold-
ers of the Citizens Telephone COM
pany, including V. Jacobson of Chi
cago, refuse to sell their twenty
shares at par to the Bell company,
though they may be compelled to turn
over their stock by law.
Madison.-The appearance of Maj
r. P. Davidson before the assembly
committee on excise and fees reveal
ed the intention of the North West
ern Military academy, now located at
Highland Park, north of Chicago, to
move to the south shore of Lake
Geneva.
Oconto.-Freezing weather pre-
vented the great damage that would
otherwise have resulted when the
Eldred dam on the Oconto river at
Stiles went out and the great body
of water it contained flowed into the
bay.

coming committee. The class will
designate other special committees as
it grows and its wisdom dictates.
While its chief purpose shall be the
spiritual uplift of its members and the
