to the fact that. though both started

"The Goose Girl" Should Have Packed
House.

"The Goose Girl" clean and In
teresting play dramatized by George
D. Baker from Harold MacGrath's
book Of the same name, will be the
attraction at the Colonial Theatre
Saturday night, November g. Aside
from the plot and the manner in
which the well balanced company pre-
sents it, the production is lavishly
staged and appropriately dressed.
'The Goose Girl" is one of those plays
that appeals to all classes of theatre
goers and leaves good taste in the
mouth. With every care given to de-
tail, both in the assignment of the
characters and in the stage settings,
there is no reason why this offering
should not play to a packed house.

More Than S2,CO0,OOO in Cash and

Madison.-The sum of S2,477,-

Dahl, was on hand December l in

banks. This sum does not include
the bonds which constitute the

all, $72O,937.S3, and which bring
the total of the funds and bonds on

The university fund income, which
is the working fund Of that institu-
ton, now carries $27,301.95, which
must last, except for a few minor
items of receipts, until taxes are col
lected for the coming year, probably
near the first of March With three
payrolls falling due before that time
the big institution will find it neces-
sary to again borrow money, which
it is permitted to do from the state
to the amount of $150,000. When
that limit is reached recourse must
be had to some other source.

GERMANY WILL AID ITS
OWN ALLIES IN CONFLICT
Chancellor Issues Plain Warning to
Russia and England-Greece
Balks at Armistice.

Berlin, Dec 4.-Germany stands
firmly with Austria-Hungary in the.
conflict which has arisen between that
country and Servia, or for that mat
ter, in any conflict which may be
forced upon the dual monarchy.
Discussing the Balkan situation in,
the Reichstag, Imperial Chancellor
Bethman-Hollweg said:
when our allies, Austria Hungary
and Italy, in maintaining their inter
ests, are although this is
not in present prospect-by a third
party, and thereby threatened in
their existence then we, faithful to
our compacts, will take their Part
firmly and decisively; then we
shall fight side by side with our al
lies for the maintenance Of our own
position in Europe and in defense Of
the security Of our own fatherland.
II am convinced that we have the
whole nation behind US in such pol
icy"
A new obstacle to the signing Of
the armistice between the allies and
Turkey has appeared IN the unquall-
fed opposition Of Greece, which coun-
try first Of all is in favor of fighting
the war out to finish and, if a settle
ment is to be arranged insists that
Turkey, Adrianople, Scutari, Janina
and the other more important fort
resses be Internationally surren-
dered.
Berlin, Dec. 4.-The triple alliance,
the coalition of Germany, Austria and
Italy, was renewed for period Of
three years. The statement, which
was made officially, is regarded as
especially significant in the light of
the present disturbed conditions in
Europe, growing out of the Balkan
war
The triple entente, the alliance of
England, France and Russia, is still
in effect.

some of the parties for whom war
rants have been issued live in other
states. The state fire marshal's de-
partment has been watching the OPP
erations of the organization since the
fire nearly two years ago, and has
been perfecting the chain of evidence
ever since.
1t is the most perfectly organ

been uncovered in this country" said
Marshal Purtell LAS far as the in

TWELVE ARE KILLED
AS SEASON CLOSES
Death Toll of Deer Hunters
Lowest Since 1906.
GAME REPORTED PLENTIFUL
kimrods Kill Many Bear and Wolves
and Will Get Large Sum in Boun-
ties Unusual Number of Women
Hunters This Year.

Ashland.-With the close of the
consin on Nov. 80, hunters report
that the game has never been more
plentiful. In spite of the thousands
of deer killed every year there APP
pears to be no reduction in the num-
Der. The enforcement of the game
laws and the limiting Of each hunter
to one deer have evidently been eff
fective in averting what would have
soon been their determination if the
market hunters had been allowed TO
continue the slaughter unchecked.
There have been fewer accidents
in the woods this year from careless
hunters, twelve being reported killed
and fourteen injured. This is the
smallest number of deaths in Wis
consin since 1906, when but seven
persons were killed in the woods.
Among the nimrods this year were
more women than usual, and some Of
them just as expert as the best shot
in the woods, as the trophies they
brought back show.
Another unusual event of the sea-
son is the number of wolves and
bears killed. Many of the nimrods
made a substantial sum by killing
wolves. The state will no doubt pay
about SO per cent more in bounties
than ever before. Bear of all colors
and sizes also seemed to have the
idea that they should invest the
hunting camps. Their curiosity has
reduced their number in the Badger

CONGRESS IS IN
SESSION AGAIN
House and Senate Convene for
Three Months Work.
MONEY BILLS TO BE PASSED
Appropriation Measures Make Up the
Bulk Of the Program, and Little
Constructive Legislation Will
Be Attempted.

Washington Dec. 3.-With all it's Ia
ton of Democratic president in
March. the Sixty-second congress OF
the United States convened for its
final session at noon Monday.
Appropriation bills will take up the
time of congress almost exclusively
and there is no expectation that any
great amount of constructive legisla-
ton can be accomplished before the
advent Of the Democratic administra-
ton. The members must act upon
more than a dozen bills carrying total
appropriations OF over a billion dol
lars
Two of the annual budgets are now
ready-the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill and the Dis
trict of Columbia bill. These, possibly,
will be passed by the house and sent
over to the senate before the Christ
mas adjournment The naval, mill
tary. postoGce, Indian. Notifications,
diplomatic, pensions and minor bud
gets must be passed in January and
February.
It is apparent TO experienced mem
bers that such big questions as the
tariff, the trusts and the currency
problem cannot be tackled in the
days intervening between December 2
and March f. Congress will be forced
to appropriate at the rate of about
$12,500,000 per day in order to meet
the running expenses of the United
States government during the fiscal
year of 1913 This immense task prac-
tically precludes all hope of general
legislation and unusually fast work
will be required to dispose Of the ap-
preparation measures on the eve OF
the incoming administration.

fnittee on banking and currency will
continue its investigation of the
money trust" and may, make tenta-
tive draft of bills to amend the cur
rency laws.
