Thursday evening, January 10Th. The
men of our church are going to serve
their annual supper at that time and
tables full of things you like will await
your eating. Going to there, Ell? That
is wise decision, for better meals are
yet to be prepared than those Metho-
dist men are wont to serve. And they
do it so politely, too, that it adds flavor
to the viands and cheer to the faces
around the board. Chicken pie will be
the foremost dish, and you know the
other dishes that follow. Bring the
whole family with you.

Obituary.
MRS. MAREN HAIRED.


Mrs. Maren Haired died at her home
in Stoughton Friday, Jan. 10th, 1911.
Death was due to heart trouble, with
other complications arising from the
asthma with which she had been at
fiicted the past twenty or twenty-five
years. This winter she had been unus-
ually poorly, but the latter part of last
week she rallied and it was thought she
might recover.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. J.. A. Stub at Christ Lutheran
church at O. clock Thursday afternoon,
interment following at the Lutheran
cemetery in Stoughton.
Mrs. Haired was born in Aardal,
Sogn, Norway, Dec. 5th, 1856, and in
May, 1875, was married to Andrew
Haired. The young couple emigrated
the following month and came directly
to Stoughton. They engaged in farm
ing, and for many years were located
near EGgerton. Mr.. Haired died IN
1900, but his widow continued to reside
on the farm until about two years ago
when she moved to Stoughton.
Surviving her are five sons and five
daughters. The sons are Anil, Her
bert, Arthur, Clarence and Leonard,
and the daughters, Mrs. Fred Sender
hauf and Mrs. Alfred Burns of Rock
ford, Mrs. Will Allen of Milwaukee,

Corps Installs Officers.

The H. S. Swift w. R. C. held it's
annual installation Jan. 5. Mrs. Lizzie
Williams, president of the w. r. c.,
called the meeting to order, after which
Mrs. Weetman Dickinson, the install
ing officer, was presented. The follow
ing officers were installed for the year:
Pres. Lizzie Williams; Sr. Vice Pres.
Maud Lackner; Jr. Vice Pres.-Zen-

the pleasing and efficient manner in
which she conducted her duty, then
gave brief address, after which a
short program was rendered consisting
of a solo by Kittie Schmidt, readings
by Mable Drake and Gertrude McCar-
thy.
Mrs. Dickinson in beautiful pres
entation speech presented Mrs. Will
liams with silver meat fork as a
token of appreciation for her earnest
work during the past year. Mrs. Alice
Campbell, the retiring secretary, was
presented with a silver server, and
Mrs. Jane Kelly, the retiring treasurer,
with garnet pin. The ladies respond
ed graciously for their gifts after which
the guests were invited to tarry for a
few moments and partake of an oyster
supper which had been prepared, after
which there was brief social session,
sunshine and good cheer reigning with
in although a snow storm ragged with
out.
In only one way could the pleasure of
the occasion have been heightened, and
that would have been by the presence
of the members of the G. A. r., only
three being present, but owing to the
inclemency of the weather they were
unable to attend.

County Training School for Teachers.


One of the acts of the county board
at it's late session was the establish
ment of county training school for
teachers. A formal application to the
state superintendent for permit to
operate such school was ordered. 1t
is expected that the state appropriation
will quite largely meet the expenses of
the school, though $1,000 was voted for
teachers salaries. In the matter of
appropriations the board was quite lib
eral. A new road roller was ordered
for the use of the county road commits
sioner, making three at his command.
A new SIS, 900 barn at the county asylum
was authorized at the request of the
trustees. The salary of the register in
probate of Rock county was increased
two hundred dollars, to $1,000 per year,
on condition that he attends to the
court reporting and performs all of the
stenographic work. A saving of $3.50
a year is thus effected, it is said, and
the resolution authorizing the raise was
presented at the request of Judge Sale.
The report of the county treasurer
disclosed the fact that over $1100 was
paid out during the year on crow and
hawk bounties. The sum was consid-
cred too large and a resolution repeal
ing the bounty was promptly passed.
A resolution was passed for the ap-
pointment of a committee of three,
comprising Simon Smith, S. B. He'd
dies and J. E. McEvoy, to confer with
the district attorney and with Mr..
Welrick to see what could be done to-
ward effecting settlement with Mr..
Weirick and that the proposed action
be postponed until after the April meet
ing of the board. It is claimed that
Mr.. Weirick has retained $1038.7 70 in
fees more than his salary of the last
nine months of the year.

on Rock county's highways for the
past three years, ex-County Commits
sioner of Highways H. L. Skavlem pre-
pared tabulated statement and gen.

according to his report, shows that ap-
preparations of the county board for the
past three years is as follows: 1908,
$25, 551.82; 1909, $26, 962. 90; 1910, $685.
1920; total, $50, 1892. Of this $751;
962.46 was expended, leaving balance
on hand of 81, 770.56. For road ma
chinery and to the repair fund, SIS, 500
and 81, Alias were paid out, making
the total expenditures on Rock county
roads of $75, 783 95. The total number
of miles of highway constructed in the
three years time was seventy two and
a half miles, costing on an average
81, O89 per mile. If laid out in one line
the highways would reach from James
vile to Milwaukee.

KILLED BY HIS WlFE'S LOVER
Stephen Berger, Milwaukee, Called
from Home in Middle of Night
and Shot to Death.

milwaukee,. Going from his
nome in the middle of the night in
an attempt to pacify Va jealous ad-
mirer of his wife, Stephen Berger
was shot to death. John Nagel, aged
40, is under arrest charged with the
crime.
Berger came to America from
Hungary several years ago, leaving
his wife and two children in the old
country. Soon after Mrs. Berger
met Nagel and the two came to this
country and lived together at Akron,
Ohio. Finally locating her husband
in Milwaukee, Mrs. Becker came here
and the couple became reconciled.
Nagel followed and has repeatedly
threatened to do something desper-
ate unless the woman returned to
him.
When arrested Nagel had re-
volver with three empty chambers
in his possession. He admits being
near the Becker home when the
tragedy occurred and also that he
wrote several threatening letters, but
denies shooting Becker.

MUST SELL SOAP BY WEIGHT
Only Articles in Natural State Come
Under Numerical Count Provis-
ion, Says Attorney General.

Numerical count" as
used in the Wisconsin weights and
measures law passed by the last leg
islature, is limited to apply only to
articles in their natural state, such
as apples, eggs, ETC., according to an
opinion from the office of Attorney
General Bancroft r
The law provides that "all dry
commodities not otherwise specified
in this section shall be bought and
sold only by standard dry measure,
standard weight or numerical count,
except when parties otherwise agree
in writing"
THE evident intent of the law"
says the attorney general, "was to
secure to the consumer the full
amount Of any commodity for which
he supposes he is paying. An opin-
ion is cited in which it is held that
meats, wrapped in many thicknesses
of paper, cheese cloth, etc., should be
sold at the net weight of the meat ;"
An interesting aspect of this con-
struction Of the law is that mer-
chants may no longer sell soap at six
bars for a quarter or other stated
number Of bars for a given sum, for
soap is not a natural product as in
terpreted in the opinion of the attor-
ney general.

building commission.
=. The cornerstone OF the first capitol of
the Wisconsin was laid on July 4. 1897
The legislature did not meet in Madison
TIL IN 1888, and the new capitol, not being
IN sufficient stage of completion. that
body met in the basement of the Ameri
can house, where Gov Dodge delivered
his annual address. The federal govern
ment appropriated $4,000 for the erection
of the capitol, Dane county added $4,000
and the territorial legislature $4,000
more making a total cost of about 100000.
In 1857. nine years after the admission
OF the territory into the union state.
larger capitol was found necessary and
ordered built. This was enlarged in 1892.
While at work upon some remodeling in
1903 part of one of the walls fell down,
killing some of the workmen In 1904 the
east wing of the capitol was destroyed by
nre and many valuable public documents
We're burned together with much of the
property of the newly formed Wisconsin
free library commission.
Since the fire constant changes and re
constructions have been ordered and 1t is
expected that some time next spring the
new capitol will be completed and be suf
nclently large to care for the needs of the
state employees for many years to come.
