CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
THE ORIGIN OF TAMMANy.
BY A. w. MACY.

The Society Of Tammany, or
Columbian Order, was formed
In New York city In 1889, and
has been q power in city, state
and national politics ever since.
lite primary object was to Off
set the influence Of the Society
Of Cincinnati. Tho latter was
formed by the surviving officers
OF the Revolution, and az its
constitution provided that its
membership should be perpetu.
ated by the eldest sons of men,
bers, 1t was regarded by many
az too aristocratic In it's ten
denotes. The Society of Tam
many professed to be far moro
democratic In Its character. 1t
took it's name from d noted
chief Of the Delaware Indians.
Its chief founder was William
Mooney, a natIve-born Ameri-
can of Irish extraction. The
society Is nominaIly a chari-
table association, fraternaI In
its nature, and quite distinct
from the general committee Of
tho Tammany Democracy. 1t
takes q very prominent part In
politics, nevertheless. II claims
to have outilved fourteen ma
tionaI parties. Aaron Burr was
q prominent member Of Tam
many In Its earlier years.

BIG ICE JAM CAUSES FLOOD
Appleton Power Plant and Many Fac
tories Damag ad-Situation Unpre-
Cedented in FOX River Valley.

Appleton huge ice jams,
caused by the intense cold, piled up
against the dams and railroad
bridges, have so backed up the Wa
ter as to flood the mill power and
electric power plants and cause an
unprecedented situation here and
throughout the Fox river valley.
The plant Of the Wisconsin Light,
Heat and Power company was closed
for several hours when the high wa
ter flooded the premises.
By building a temporary Golfer
dam about the plant and pumping
out the pits, the traction cOmpany's
power plant was able to start one
dynamo and furnish the city with
lights, and as soon as the cables
which were flooded and frozen in the
pits could be thawed and dried, pow
err was furnished in full.

NO WISCONSIN FLAG
STATE EMBLEM ACT WAS RE-
PEALED BY 1878 REVISION.
Discovery of Inadvertent Action Only
Recently Made Legislature May
Be Asked to Reenact Law.

Madison.-Wiscons has no state
flag. This is the conclusion reached
by Assistant Attorney General w. w.
Gilman, and it will be surprise to
many persons, especially civil war
soldiers who enlisted from Wiscon-
sin.
Fl. w. Rood, custodian of the G. A.
R. memorial hall and patriotic in
structor of the state department of
the G. A. r., asked the attorney gen.
eral il Wisconsin had a state flag.
The query was turned over to Assist
ant Attorney General Gilman, who
found on investigation that state
flag was adopted by act of the legis-
lature in 1868, but that this act was
repealed, probably inadvertently, in
1878 when the statutes were revised.
The act of 1868 adopting a state
flag provided that it should be dark
blue silk, with the arms of the state
of Wisconsin painted or embroidered
in silk on the diverse side and the
arms OF the United States painted or
embroidered in silk on the reverse
side, the name of the regiment,
where used as a regimental flag, to
be in scroll beneath the state arms.
1t also provided that the flag
should be six feet and six inches fly
and six feet deep on the pike, the
pike to be nine feet ten inches long;
the fringe yellow, and cord and tas-
sells of blue and white silk mixed. 1t
is probable that the next legislature
will be asked to adopt the old flag
or provide a new one

SUGAR BEET CROP FAILURE
Entire Racine County Yield of 900
600 Tons Refused by Factory as
Being Too Poor for Use.

Racine Thousands of tons of
sugar beets in Racine county, con-
tracted for by the GAINESVILLE Sugar
Beet company, will not be accepted
at the mills, growers having received
letters from the company instructing
them not to ship more sugar beets
and stating. that the mills would be
closed.
1t is estimated that the amount of
sugar beets now in the country is
bout 100000 tons. Last seasons
.rop amounted to about $4,000
ons, or double that OF any previous
ear.
The GAINESVILLE company AYERS that
he quality of beet grown in this
1unty last season contains such a
nall percentage of sugar that the
ill was being operated at an enor-
.ous loss.

wisconsin is now producing IN

anywhere, upward of 145,OOo,ooo
pounds of cheese annually, lot
which the producers are receiving
upward of $20,000,000, not lnclud-
ing any of the byproducts, was the
statement made by Dairy and FOOD
Commissioner J. @. Emery OF WIS
consin, who spoke at the convention.
The speaker stated that not one
pound of filled cheese is being manu-
featured in the state and that non
esty has been the greatest factor IN
the industry's growth.
Fred Marty, cheese inspector for
the Wisconsin dairy and food COM
mission, at a session Of the conven-
ton, said that the manufacture or
Swiss cheese in Wisconsin, ana III
other states for that matter, had
retrograded in the past fifteen years,
due to the indiscriminate methods OF
dealers who, instead of handling only
the best the market affords, nave
been prone to look more to the dol
lars and cents side of the question
than to quality.
Mr.. Marty said the result has been
a great increase in the Importation
of cheese from Switzerland. Accord
ing to figures in his possession, the
importation of Swiss cheese exceeds
the total made in this country. The
speaker was of the opinion that I'M
less Swiss cheese is made as good as
the imported article, the industry IN
this state is doomed. He said that
there is a tremendous demand Tor
Swiss cheese, and American manu-
facturers will be unable to compete
with foreign makers unless their
product is on a par with the import
ed article.
