DIES AETER ASYLUM ESCAPE
Son OF Cumberland Judge Is Found
Dead in Field Went Insane
from Overstudy.

New Richmond.-Floyd Wright.
aged 30 years, son of Municipal
Judge A. F. Wright of Cumberland.
escaped from the st. Croix County
asylum, near this city, and though
found two hours later, had persisted
from cold and exposure. An attend
ant went through the ward at 4:30
a. M, when Wright was in bed and
asleep, apparently. When the attend
ant made his next round, at 5 o'clock.
Wright was missing He had removed
his night clothes and jumped from a
second story window. A diligent
search failed to locate him about the
asylum, and he was finally tracked
by drops of blood in the snow and
found dead in field, some distance
away. He was entirely naked. He
was a graduate of the Cumberland
High school, an exceptionally brill
liant and promising student, and was
studying for the ministry when his
health broke down and his mind
gave way under the strain of study.
1t is said that after leaving high
school he taught in country schools
and about half starved himself in
order to save money to enable him to
go to college.

PLAN BIG MILITARY
MEET IN WISCONSIN
Considered as Center of War
Maneuvers Next Summer.
WcuL9 USE SPARTA RANGE
War Department win Ask Congress
for Si,3oo.ooo Appropriation to
DefraY Expense of the Exercises
for Federal Troops.

Washington, d. C-The state of
Wisconsin is to be the center of mill
tary activity in the middle west dur
ing the coming summer if the plans
of the war department meet with the
approval of the legislators and the
appropriation necessary for the ma
neuvers outlined by the general staff
is made.
The plans of the department pro-
vide for large maneuver camp at
Sparta, at which number of regu-
lars, In conjunction with the national
guard of several states, will conjoint-
ly work out the problems of war and
go through the regular army drills.
The regular soldiers will be sent
from Forts Smelling and Sheridan
and the national guard will be made
up of contingents from Wisconsin.
Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and other
adjoining states. To carry out the
plans, which provide for similar en-
campments in several other places in
the United States, an appropriation
of $1,300,000 will be necessary. If
1t goes through, several thousand
men, perhaps the greatest number
that has ever been collected within
the state of Wisconsin for military
exercises, will be gathered at Sparta.
The national board for the promo
ton of rife practice also has under
consideration the question of holding
the national matches of the current
year at Sparta. Whether it will be
selected depends entirely upon the
condition of the range, which will be
ascertained as soon as the snow is off
the ground.

STATE MAY ASSIST
BLACK RIVER FALLS
Immediate Action Urged at a
Conference in Milwaukee.
SPECIAL SESSION FAVORED
Another Meeting With Governor to
Consider Advisab Iity of Calling
Legislature Together - Members
Would Receive No Pay.

Milwaukee.-The conference of
committees of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association and the
Chamber of Comcserce, which met
with Gov. Francis E. McGoyern here,
decided to recommend the calling of
special session of the legislature to
consider the matter of assisting the
city of Black River Falls to rebuild
the dam which was destroyed in the
food of last fall.
1t was the sense OF the meeting
that the state is morally responsible
tor the destruction of any dam, and
that Wisconsin should make some
provision to assist the citizens of
Black River Falls to have the river
now back into its original course No
money can be loaned Black River
Fails unless the legislature makes
the appropriation.
A meeting in the governors office
at Madison will be held to decide the
cost of a special session and the APP
proximate time it would take to ac-
complish the object.
In the event a special session is
called, members of the legislature
would be required to serve without
compensation. The only money they
would receive would be for mileage.

DAIRY cows ARE TOO FEW
Ex, Gov. Hoard Gives This as Reason
for High Butter Prices-Does
Not Blame Tax on Cleo.

Fort Atkinson The fact that the
"cow populatien has not increased
as fast as the human population" is
assigned as the cause for the present
high prices of butter by former Gov.
w. d. Hoard, editor of Hoards
Dairyman, who has been one of the
foremost dairy advocates in the state
for years. Regarding the present
situation he says:
In my opinion the cause of the
high price of butter is its scarcity.
The COW population has not kept
pace with the human population.
Then, besides, very large proper
ton of the milk over what it for
meriy was. has been diverted to fam
lily consumption and condensing pur-
poses.
The great milk shipping districts
NO longer raise calves. They buy
their cows and in about two years
sell them for beef and buy again.
The tax of 10 cents a pound on
artlncially colored oleomargarine has
nothing to do with the high price of
butter, for the reason that about 95
per cent of oleomargarine is taxed
only one-fourth of cent a pound.
because it is not artifcially colored
The talk of the tax increasing the
price of butter is a humbug. Once
let butter become plenty and down
VIII come the price of butter and
oleomargarine.
But the oleo makers think they
can fool the consumer into opposition
TO the law and thus work its repeal.
Then they will have the field to
themselves, with the privilege of
selling counterfeit stuff for butter
itself"

- bara mission. when thousands
of people from every city in
the state participated In the services,
is evidence that California has awak-
ened to the necessity of preserving
these rapidly decaying memorials of
her early history. Italy has its ruins,
its coliseum and its Forum: Germany
Its ancient castles that hide among
the crags Of the Rhine; France, It's
beautiful chateaux of Touraine and
Normandy; and Spain, its slumbering
Alhambra, whose fountains have long
since ceased to flow. With equal pride
California points to the ruins of its
Spanish Missions. True, they cannot
boast of great antiquity, neither do
they tell Of nations fought and con-
quered; their tale is OF the heroic
deeds of noble men. who yielded fame
and fortune and sometimes life itself
for the gloriflcation of God in the
then heather land. There lies about
these ruins an air of. subdued solem-
nifty; the effect upon the mind of the
beholder is elevating. There come be-
fore one visions OF the patient plod-

Father Junipero Serra--a name re-
vered In the Golden State.
The first step toward the colonial.
ton of Alta California was taken
when Don Jose Galvez, a tried and
trusted crown official, who had super
intended the change of missionaries in
Lower California, received imperative
orders to occupy and fortify San
Diego and Monterey In the name OF
God and the king of Spain" Galvez
was full OF enthusiasm, having good
sense. great executive ability, consld-
cradle foresight, untirins energy, and
decided contempt for all routine for
malities. He began his work with a
truly western yigor. To insure that
the spiritual part of the work might
be as carefully planned as the politi
cal, Galvez fully discussed the whole
project with Father Serra--a man who
was to leave his powerful impress
upon the new country to which he
journeyed with so much fiery zeal and
religious enthusiasm. Yet Sierra was
practical and possessed OF a wide
clear vision and remarkable judg-
ment. His gift Of preaching his schol-
arly attachments, marked him for high
preferment in Europe. but he turned
willingly aside from the path OF fame
and honor. and pleaded to be sent
where toll. and danger, and perhaps
horrible death, awaited him. The
story of his life Is part of the early
history OF the state. and his name is
still uttered as that of one whose
achievements have made him immor-

and trust in his goodness to plant the
holy cross. not only in San diego, but
even as far as Monterey were the
memorable words OF this sanity hero
when he planted the first cross In
American California, and his faith
was so amply rewarded that he had
the happiness of erecting eight mis-
sions before his death. The combina-
ton OF fervor and enthusiasm, power
and sense. produced rapid results.
Most of the chain OF missions. from
San Diego through Monterey to the
Golden Gate, were established in the
last 80 years OF the 18th century.
After the founding of San Diego. the
mission OF San Carlos. near Monterey,
was founded in 1870; those Of San
Gabriel and San Antonio in 177l; San
Luis Obispo In l772; San Francisco
and San Juan Capistrano in 1T76:
Santa Clara in 1777; San Buena Ven
tura in 1872; Santa Barbara in 1886:
La Purlsima Conception in 1887; La
Soledad in 1871: San Fernando, San
Miguel San Juan Bautista. Santa Cruz
and San Jose in 1897: San Luis Rey
in 1898; Santa Inez in 1904: San
Rafael in 1917. and San Francisco So
lano In 1928. The last. established
at Sonoma was the most northern,
and the only one founded under the
Mexican dominion.
Much has been done toward the
preservation of the old missions and
much remains to be done.
