Alarming Spread of Contagious
Diseases Reported.
SCARLET FEVER Is IN LEAD
Monroe, Chippewa Falls and Keno

State Health Board Advice-Cases
at Madison and Baraboo.

Madison-An epidemic of scarlet
fever has broken out in Monroe. Fiji
teen cases have developed. The
state board of health is in touch
with the situation and the quaran-
tine law is being strictly enforced.
City officials of Monroe have closed
all moving picture shows and have
issued orders against the holding of
Sunday school classes in order to
prevent any further spreading of the
disease.
Contagion, particularly scarlet
fever, is reported from many cities
in the state, but especially in Ke-
nosha, Monroe and Chippewa Falls.
Five cases of scarlet fever are be-
ing treated at the Madison conta-
gious hospital. In Baraboo num-
Der of cases have developed and the
public schools of that city have been
closed for one week.
DR.. Harper has received a report
from DR.. l.. E. Spencer, sent to
Kenosha to study the situation, to
the effect that in Kenosha there are
thirty-seven cases of scarlet fever
and five cases of diphtheria.

their hopes of ultimately defeating
the forthcoming home rule bill, re-
mains as virile as in 1886 and 1898,
the years in which William E. Glad
stone introduced his two home rule
bills for Ireland, seems to have been
fairly demonstrated by the vast
throngs of Orangemen and Unionists,

a separate parliament for Ireland in

Madison.-That nearly half of the
seed corn in Wisconsin probably will
not terminate this year, is indicated
by tests made by Prof. c. P. Nor
CORD of the university. These tests
We're made on 149 samples of seed
corn from seven counties. In one
day farmer can test ten bushels
of seed corn, enough to seed seventy
five acres. A saving of 81 is made
on every weak ear that he discovers
and discards, for ordinarily an ear,
all the kernels of which will germ
mate, produces eight bushels of corn.

Indian Bill Again Debated.
The fight to eliminate from the In
dian appropriation bill the prOviso
requiring the payment from the funds
of the Five Civilized Tribes of the
salaries of tribal officials and attor-
neys, broke in the house again
Representative Miller of Minnesota
(Republican) sought to have it strick-
en- from the bill, but was defeated.
Representative Burke of South Da-
kota (Republican) then offered sub
stitute which would appropriate spe-
officially from the tribal funds the sum
of 100000 for the purpose. Futile
efforts were made by committee lead
ers to have debate limited to a spe-
cine Tune.
Mr. Burke openly charged that the
failure to provide for the payment of
officials of the Five Civilized Tribes
was inspired by those who looked
with covetOus eyes on Indian prop
erty."
The counter charge was made that
the Indian officials themselves were
culpable and that the item had been
left out of the bill as one means of
getting rid Of them.
The millions of dollars of Indian
funds, both tribal and individual on
deposit in Oklahoma banks, Mr.. Burke
declared, would be jeopardized if In
dian agents were not provided
The Burke amendment was lost
and the bill had not passed when the
house adjourned.

WEATHER FINE, SEEDING is ON
FARMERS AWARE THAT EVERY
MOMENT IS PRECIOUS.
Operations Prevalent Throughout
State-Red River Prospects
Good.

Fargo, April 10.-During the last
two days North Dakota farmers have
seeded thousands of acres. The wealth
er has been ideal, the government
thermometer registering 80 degrees
throughout the day. Farmers, aware
that every moment is precious, have
put every available team in the field
and are rushing work in order to get
all their seeding done before the rain,
which prophets say is almost due, ow
ing to the extremely warm weather.
The weather bureau predicts a con-
tinuation of the warm weather.
Reports from over the state indicate
that every effort is being made to get
in as much grain as possible each day
in anticipation of rain.
Crop conditions were never better
in any section of the state, say re-
ports. Through the Red River val
ley crop prospects are said to be the
best in history. Similar conditions
prevail in the Golden valley on the
