Ne,Us Notes of Wisconsin,

Baraboo.-The only triplets living
who were named by Abraham Lincoln
reside in this city The three broth
ers were born in South Starksboro,
Addison county, Vermont, May "a,
1861, the forty-fifth birthday ami
versary Of Queen Victoria. The adj
vent of the three sons into the home
was an event of such great import
ance that it was decided to write to
the president to suggest names for
them. President Lincoln readily re-
sponded, naming one Gideon Wells
Haskins in honor of the secretary of
the navy, one Simeon Cameron Has
kins for the secretary of war and
Abraham Lincoln Haskins for him
self. Between Gideon and Lincoln
there is a striking resemblance and
a stranger never knows to which he
is speaking. The family is of Eng
lish descent and came to America
long ago. The Haskins brothers are
among the Oldest triplets living. Each
recurring birthday of the martyred
president is religiously observed by
all of them.
Manitowoc.-"When is, a wife not
a wife, is question that is bother
ing George Schweda and his whilom
bride and the answer will have to
come through the leniency of the
court. Mrs. Schweda last year ap-
piled for a divorce and was granted
an interlocutory decree in April. I'm
der the new law, this does not be-
come permanent until April next
and then a full year must elapse be-
fore either may marry. However,
Schweda and his wife have made up.
They talked things over and decided
they had been foolish and planned
another wedding. The trousseau
was ready and all the arrangements
made, but when the groom presented
himself at the Office of the county
clerk he was refused license.
Neenah.-But for the timely ar
rival of rescuers, Joseph Seidel of
Sherwood might have been drowned
in Little Lake Butte des Morris. Sci
del was fishing along shore and got
onto thin ice, which broke through.
Phillip Schweitzer and Edward Nell
Ike of Neenah came to his rescue at
great danger, breaking through them
selves Stretching out over the ice,
Schweitzer grabbed Seidel as he was
going down the second time. Appli-
cation will be made for hero medal
from the Carnegie hero commission.
Tomahawk- veyor
Thomas Kilroe had a narrow escape
from death when he discovered the
trigger wire of a set gun just as he
was about to step against it. The
gun had evidently been set for deer
and had the surveyor struck the wire
a charge of buckshot would have
been instantly buried in his body.
Oshkosh. This city has acquired
an important new industry in the
Davis .Threshing Machine company
Erection of the new plant Is to be-
gin at once.
Madison.-The common council of
Madison has voted down resolution
abolishing the salary of $500 year
for aldermen and $1,000 for the
mayor
Green Bay.-The business men of
this city are making efforts to induce
one of the eastern transportation
companies to establish line between

WILL REDUCE HIGH
COST Of LIVING
Combine Effected to Eliminate
Middleman.
TO ACT AS CLEARING HOUSE
Thousands Of Heads Of Families, Re-
tail Dealers and Farmers Banded
Together to Reduce Food Prices.

New York.-Ten thousand heads OF
families, 500 retail dealers in 90 lines
and several hundred farmers OF the
Pennsylvania State Grange, have com
bined in an association here to ellml-
nate the middle man. and lower the
high cost OF living While the Penn
sylvania State Grange is completing
negotiations with the association TO
handle their output, small army OF
canvassers is enrolling hundreds OF
other families in the movement, and
officers of the association are negotlat-
ing with the farmers of New YORK
State to handle their products also.
The association plans to act as
clearing house between producer and
consumer, dividing between them the
profits Of the various middle men
through whose hands food commodl-
ties have hitherto passed. In the case
of some farm products, the associa-
ton finds that six middlemen or brok-
ers have been reaping profits before
the products reach the consumer. The
500 dealers in almost every line OF re-
tail trade are members of the associa-
ton and receive their supplies, be-
cause of such membership, at lower
than market rates. The heads OF fam
lilies are associate members.
The 500 dealers are divided into
seven groups. Each group is requir-
ed to pay into the Golfers of the asso-
citation a percentage of its gross re-
ceipts, varying from per cent. for
grocers to Is per cent. for druggists.
The fund thus created is divided into
six parts. four of which are put aside
for distribution among the consum-
ers, one part being spent for advertis-
ing and one part for administration
and operating expenses.
Each association member or head OF
family, receives coupon from the
dealer whenever he makes a pur-
chase, setting forth the amount of
goods bought. At the end of stated
periods the consumer surrenders his
coupons to the association to serve as
basis for computing the rebate
which he will receive from the profit
fund. II is the plan to reduce the
cost of living by these refunds rather
than by charging the consumer lower
than market prices in the first
instance.

INDUSTRY AND EDUCATION.


For some years the tendency OF
young men seeking higher education
has been toward law and medicine.
Schools OF these professions have in.
creased In number ana the fields OF
occupation have become more over

the science of treating human Ills are
at work which suggest the possibility
of a change In the drift OF the educa

terprise are enlisted in a movement to
work out new cures for old diseases
and improve sanitation throughout
the country. Vast progress has been.
and more viii be. made Along with
this. though distinctly apart from II,

the needs Of industry; to open up irri'

New York Times invites to the new
fields OF scientific service the attention
OF young men contemplating finished
educations. They are, undoubtedly,
prolific of opportunities. What will the
effect be in these two channels? VIII

Turkish soldiers surrounded the

he formally announced that the
Italian feet had been ordered to oc-

Turkish garrison. The Turkish com

comply with the demand and
emphatically refused to surrender.
The incident was witnessed by the
foreign residents, who gathered
around the Italian officer and cheered

NO WEDDINGS FOR THE WEAK
Or. Wiley Tells Conservation Con-
gress How He Would Have
Things Run.

Kansas City.-The establishment
of a national department of health
was strongly urged upon by DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley in his address before
the National Conservation Congress-
Contrary to expectation, he ignored
his traducers and made no mention
of the recent controversy in the
Agriculture Department.
The title of DR.. Wiley's address
was The Public Health, Our Greatest
National Asset.
Weak and diseased parents" he
said, are apt to transmit not only
specific diseases, although sometimes
so, but an unresistant organism to
their children, which causes them to
fall easy victims to the first invasion
of disease. realize that marriage is
a sentiment, and not a principle, but
the power of the state to protect its
citizens from disease may be con-
stitutionally exercised before, as well
as after, birth.
81 am not a believer in the starva-
tion theory of diet, nor in the limita-
tion of any of the essential elements
Of food to minimum. 1t Is a mis-
take to suppose that any exigencles
of the food market ever justify the
debasement or adulteration Of food
There is no condition of just political
economy which can be urged as an
exuse for such an action. By what
principle of political economy can
the practice be justified of keeping
wholesome food in storage until its
taste has vanished and poisonous
products have been produced?
1.-THE man whose foot never
touches the turned soil cannot be
said to be healthy. The great manu-
featuring enterprises should be con-
fined to the smaller places where
each workman may have garden
and front. Cities should be re-
served for exchange, and manufac-
ture should be rigidly excluded there
from. How infinitely superior is the
garden to the saloon?
"The farmer should be the long
est lived of any profession, but at
the present time this is not the case
The sewage of the farm is an un-
known problem The bathtub is
scarcely known, and the septic tank
is unheard of. The agricultural col
leges should teach hygiene and sani-
tation as we'll as animal husbandry

ENTIRE FAMILY
WAS POISONED.
New Orleans Woman is Charged
With awful Crime.
SECURED INSURANCE MONEY
Annie Crawford, a Morphine Fiend,
Is Believed to Have Caused the
Deaths Of Her Father, Mother
and Two Sisters.

New Orleans, La-That Annie
Crawford, ugly and a man hater,
poisoned four members of her family
to collect their life insurance and
thus crafty her inordinate love OF
dress is the police theory of the most
sensational recent murder case in the
history OF New Orleans. This love
Of dress was exaggerated through the
fact that she is a morphine fiend.
According to a statement by the
district attorney after the girl prac-
tically had been grilled for "a hours,
she has made a partial confession.
The woman-she is 27 years old
is under arrest charged only with
poisoning her young sister Elsie, a
pretty stenographer, who died mys-
teriously a few days ago. II seems
almost certain, however, that she
soon will be charged with poisoning
her father, mother and another sis
ter who died under mysterious cir
cumstances within the past Is
months, and Annie Crawford was the
beneficiary named in the insurance
policy on the life of each. The total
was only $1,75O and the police say
the girl spent nearly all this amount
on her clothes.
Annie Crawford, through long
service in the drug department Of the
New Orleans Sanitarlum from which
she was discharged following the dis
appearance of large quantities of
drugs, was familiar with the action
of poisons and seemed to have work
ed with the careful patience of a
scientist conducting an experiment.
Her methods sometimes were crude
but she seldom bungled
Since her discharge from the hos
pital more than year ago she has
not worked but has paid board to
the uncle and aunt with whom she
lived. At first she claimed she had
saved up some money, but later she
said she could not have kept up but
for the insurance money she received
by the deaths of members of the fam
lily. In addition to being addicted
to morphine she was also eccentric.
She seldom ate at the table, usually
taking her meals in the kitchen.
When young men called upon her slO-
ters she ran off and hid. Yet her
clothes were handsome and expensive
and she lavished considerable sums
upon them
As a result of the finding of poison
in the stomach of Elsie, who died
last Saturday, the bodies of the 9TH
ers will be exhumed.
