Wife of the Convicted Cameron Dam
Man Declares That Her Hus-

MadisOn.-The signatures of 49,
500 residents of Wisconsin are sign
ed to petitions accompanying the for
NAL application for pardon for John

cation:
Il know my husband was not in
any way responsible for the shoot
ing Of Oscar Harp"
II pardoned, Dietz will, she de-
clares. prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that he did not kill Harp. Mrs.
Dietz declares that her husband is
innocent, that Harp was killed by
a bullet from the gun of some other
deputy sheriff, that Dietz did not
have a fair trial, that Jurors Smith
and Sabean were prejudiced against
Dietz, that the residents of Sawyer
county We're prejudiced against him,
that Dietz did not believe he would
be convicted and therefore did not
properly prepare for his defense, that
Dietz was a good husband and father
and that it is necessary for him to
be with his family.

BADGER REGIMENT

TWenty-first Wisconsin Will

Survivors of Body Which Followed
Sherman to the Sea Will Exchange
Old War Stories at Fiftieth An
niversary Meeting.

Fond du Lac.-The Twenty-frst
Wisconsin will hold its twenty-first
annual reunion at Fond du Lac on
Sept. and 6. This regiment
was organized at Camp Bragg, Osh-
kosh, in August and September,
1862. This will be the fiftieth ami
versary meeting of the survivors.
The regiment was fortunate in
having for it's field officers soldiers
who had more than years expert
ence in the army. Benjamin J..
Sweet, young lawyer of Calumet
county, who, previous to becoming a
lawyer was public school teacher,
was the first colonel He had served
year in the Sixth Wisconsin, first
as major and then as lieutenant
colonel.
The original lieutenant colonel
was Harrison G. Hobart, who for
nearly twenty years before the war
had been prominent as a democratic
politician, having once run for gov
ernor and twice for congress. He
had been speaker of the assembly
and served a term in the state SEN
ate. He ran for governor against
Gen. Lucius Fairchild in 1866, after
the war, and was defeated by few
thousand votes. Both Sweet and Ho-
bart became brevet brigadiers.
The first major was Frederick
Schumacher, Milwaukee, who had
served as city engineer. He was a
lieutenant and then captain in the
Sixth wisconsin. The adjutant Of
the regiment was M. H. Fitch, who
afterward was pension agent in Mil
waukee. Adjt. Fitch became lieuten-
ant colonel of the regiment.
The men had nearly three years Of
hard campaigning. 1t was in the bat
ties of Perryville, Stones River,
Chickamauga, and at the latter bat
tie lost heavily in prisoners, includ-
ing Col. Hobart, who was one of the
leaders at Libby prison in digging
the tunnel through which a large
number of the prisoners made their
escape. The regiment was in all of
the battles from Chattanooga to At
lanta and went with Sherman to the

'BHAvSINHJI, MAHARAJAH OF BHAVNAGAR

The publication of the history of
the Rajkumar college Of Kathiawar in
western India has drawn into promi-
nent notice the movement for the ed
ucation of the chiefs and princes of
India which was commenced half-a-
century ago on the model Of the
English public schools. The work,
which has been sumptuously got up,
gives complete record of the
growth of the movement up to date
and serves as book of reference
both with regard to the daily work
carried on in that seminary and the
two generation of youths who have
passed through its portals. In this
way it amply testifies to the success
which has been achieved by the insti-
tuition since it's foundation. Of which
many of the reigning chiefs of west
ern India themselves furnish living
examples.

these princes may be regarded as a

VermOnt'S Butter Production

The Vermont Dairymen's association.
will meet in Burlington, January 10,
The year has been prosperous for dairy
men in the state and figures issued by
the census bureau relating to dairy prod
ucts show that the state produces more
pounds of butter per capita than any
other In the union the average being 46 8
pounds. The state also ranks third in
production Of cheese, per capita. Yer
mont which ranks 43rd in population,
stands ninth in production of cheese, 10th
in value of condensed milk, manufac-
tured, and 18th in the production of but
ter.
Vermont produces more butter in fac
tories than on farms, the figures being
20, 22S, 900 pounds in factories and 49, 1867
900 pounds on farms. The census figures
indicate 146 butter factories, 81 cheese
factories and three condensed milk fac
tories in this state.
The total value of butter produced $40,
100000; value of cheese, 1896, IT'S; con-
densed milk, S975,663. These figures
cover the markets of 1909. The increase
is substantial and dairymen have reason
to consider their business one of profit.
