lutions aiming at the determination of
all manner of gambling devices and
games OF chance, including candy
boards, slot machines, etc. may. be fol-

Attorney Steck has already notified
places Of business that have some Of
these devices in operation that they
may look forward to encOuntering the
law If the candy boards, slot machines,
etc. are not removed. Mr.. Steck
states that he has received number
OF complaints from parents and guard
ians who state that their boys are in
the habit of playing the devices and
spend much. of their earnings in SO
doing, and he expects to enforce the
law against them and rid the city Of
all games of chance. He insists that
the law Is clear against such and that
the code goes even far enough to per-
nit the loser in game of pool or
billiards to refuse to pay for the play.

CHARGES MADE
IN BRIBE CASE
LIEUTENANT GOV
/ ERNoR MIKES HINES
I'M IT.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 18.--The un-
expected developments In the investi-
CATION Of Senator Isaac Stephenson's g
election brought out through the testi-
mony OF Thomas Morris, lieutenant
governor OF Wisconsin were to be
further inquired into when the SEN
ate committee met today.
Norris resumed the stand to undergo
cross examination on his testimony
given late yesterday when he declared
as an official of the state, he had been
informed that Edward Hines, the lun-
herman helped put over Senator
Steph enson's election. that Hines and
Stephenson each contributed $50 GOO
to secure the election, that Robert J.
Shields, often mentioned in the case
Of Senator William Lorimer, was paid
1900 for working on the deal, and
that this resulted in three democratic
assemblymen absenting themselves
from the legislature on March 4, 1909,
SO that Stephenson might be elected.
A man named Cook, who testified in
the first Lorimer Investigation, and
from whom Morris said he secured his
information, is being sought by the
committee as also is Shields. who was
reported to be In Chticago In connec-
ton with the present Lorimer inquiry.
Senator Stephenson arrived from his
home in Marinette and 1t was said he
probably would be recalled to'the stand
to undergo questioning concerning
Morris's testimony.
The Morris statement came just at
time when the Stephenson commit
tee regarded their work as drawing to
a close. Most of the important witnesses
had been heard, and It was expected
that the remaining ones would be ex-
amined and dismissed within few
days. But now 1t is thought the hear
ing will be greatly extended. Some,
of the other witnesses sought will have
to be summoned from points out Of the
city and their examinations necessari-
ly will be lengthy. Among these are
to be q lawyer with an Office In Chi
cago, where Morris asserts Cook met
him and told him of Hines activity
Morris testified he could not remem-
ber the attorneys name. State Sen
ator Paul o. Husting, A. G. Titus, for
mer assistant attorney general OF Wis
consin, u. H. Kittel OF Madison and
C. H. Crownhart, Of Superior are others
whose names have been put on the
committee list.
Cook Summoned az Witness.
Duluth, Mimi, Oct, 18.-Wirt H.
Cook, whom the committee Of United
States senators investigating the cleo
tion Of Senator Stephenson, wants to
give testimony, was served with a.
subpoenae late last night and will leave
Duluth for Milwaukee this afternoon.

CORN, GLOVER AND COWS
contributed

Wood County can be made one Of
the richest counties in the state if
our farmers can be induced to plant
the varieties Of corn adapted to our
climate and cultivate it according to
the latest improved methods. If they
will do this, the present average yield
per acre can be doubled, and success
full corn growing is the best possible
foundation for stock raising and for
the production Of dairy products.
The country that produces meat,
butter and cheese is always able to
maintain the fertility of its soil to a
high degree of productiveness, and
these products have the whole civil
lied world for a market; for the cost
of transportation consumes only a yer,
small part of their value, and III this
way the cheap lands Of Wood county
can be put in competition with the
dear lands of England, France and
Germany.
Farmers, as class, are extremely
conservative. They hate II change
and it is not easy for them to change
the methods they have been trained
to. If their fathers and grandfather:
depended on rye as their staple crop
they will continue to grow rye, ever

MONTHLY MIS-
SIONARY MEETING

About sixty ladies were delight
fully entertained at the home of Mrs.
G. NJ. Hill on Wednesday afternoon,
at a meeting of the Woman's Mission
ary Society of the Congregational
church A splendid program was list
ened to that not only proved highly
entertaining, but most profitable frons
an instructive standpoint as well
The devotional service was led by
Mrs. G. NJ Mill Mrs. E. L. Hayward
read an exceptionally interesting pa
per giving much information on the
work in the Canal Zone. Whe we
learn that no less than fifty languag-
es are spoken by the people of Pans-
ma, we can not but consider the Won
derful opportunities offered for Mis-
sionary work in that part of the
country. When the seed of Chris
tianity is once soWn and takes root
in the hearts of any of these foreign
ers who return to their own native
land, the possibilities and we hope,
probabilities are truly great. Mrs.
Lima Corriveau read a splendid paper
on the Incas, an intensely interest
ing people. Her description proved
them to be historically famous for
their wonderful skill in architectural
work, their methods for transporting
huge rocks, weighing tons without
the aid of beasts of burden some
times a distance of 40 to so miles be-
ing truly wonderful. Mrs Corriveau
gave a lucid description of these peo-
pie, all of which proved very instruc-
tive to her listeners.
The program concluded with an ex-
cellent talk by Rev. Staff -and-well,
Mr.. Staff's talks are always interest
Ing. The society was especially in
terested in hearing Mr.. Staff tell of DR.
Robt. Hume, a returned Missionary,
who for 81 years has done Mission
ary work in India, whom he recently
met while in Beloit and enjoyed lis
tening to two lectures by Dr. Hume,
descriptive Of his work in India, it's
people, and the generally existing
conditions there.
After the close of the program the
| ladies enjoyed a pleasant social hour,
an elaborate repast being served by
| hostesses Mesdames Hill, Natwick
Church, Mcmillan and Lyon.
The next meeting which will be held
| on March 1st will be entertained a.
| the home of Mrs. F. Garrison, and will
be an afternoon, instead of an evening
meeting as previously planned This
will be the annual business meeting,
reports of the years work and cleo
ton of officers will take place.
