SHOULD CLEAN UP HERDS
Farmers Are Advised to Secure State
Aid for Tubercular Cattle Be-
fore Offer Closes.

Madison.-In view of the fact that
state compensation for tubercular-
lied animals will cease on July J.,
1913, the state livestock sanitary
board is now starting a systematic
campaign to dispose of reactOrs in
Wisconsin herds. Agents of the
board will test all herds, giving own
ers opportunity to take full advan-
tage of the states offer. The board
has a plentiful supply Of tuberculin
on hand.
The law, according to State Vet
erinarian o. H. Eliason, requires
there shall be no discrimination in
the distribution of tuberculin be-
tween veterinarians and men who
have taken examinations to qualify
to make the tests. A recent ruling
by the board requires that the Ii
censes held by others than veteri-
narians shall be renewed from year
to year.
Those owners of cattle who expect
to be paid for dead animals, victims
of diseases, are advised by DR.. Ella
son to ''clean up their herds
promptly.

PHTHISIs CAUSES TRAGEDY
Outagamie County Youth Stays His

Appleton.-Oneo of the most sensa-
tional murder mysteries in the his
tory of Outagamie county became
known when report of the finding OF
four bodies, three of which had cut
threats and the fourth bullet
wound in the head, was made to Dis
trict Attorney Rooney from Bing-

The dead, all members of the same
family, are:
LEWIS MAILAHN, aged &C years
shot in head
WILLIAM MAILAHN, aged 81
years, throat cut.
DORA MAILAHN, aged 16 years
throat cut.
JOHN MAILAHN, aged 8 years

The discovery of the bodies was
made by George Mailahn, aged Is
years, when he returned home from
district school
1t has developed that tuberculosis
is undoubtedly responsible for the
tragedy and that William Mailahn
driven to desperation by the white
plague, shot his fathers head off
killed brother and sister by slash
ing their threats with razor and
piece of mirror and ended his own
life cutting his throat.
During the last few years five
brothers of the Mailahn family have
died with tuberculosis All the re-
naming members, including the muir
derer, were afflicted, the sister who
was killed being on her deathbed.

DEMOCRATS DROP
CONVENTION PLANS
Old Method Of Choosing Ma

FOR DISTRICT CONFERENCES
State Central Committee Takes Ac-

Weather Keeps Down Attendance
at Gathering.

Milwaukee. -There will be nc
democratic state convention for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention at Baltimore. By
a vote of Is to the democratic state
central committee, at meeting held
here, decided that it was not best to
hold a convention.
Before the committee went into
executive session there was an open
meeting. Prominent democrats ex-
pressed opinions regarding the ques-
ton of convention.
After a discussion lasting almost
an hour the committee went into ex-
ecutive session. Here there was more
discussion, after which a vote was
taken and the convention plan de-
feated overwhelmingly on the first
ballot.
1t is probable now that district
conferences will be held by the
friends of the different candidates in
each congressional district similar to
those being held on the republican
side, where delegates will be nomi-
mated.
Outside the members of the COM
mittee there were few democrats in
attendance from outside the city, the
cold weather apparently serving to
prevent their coming to the meeting

head with small caliber revolver.
The shot was heard by his mother,
who was washing clothing in the kit

door of her sons room on the second
floor he had toppled from the bed to
the floor. The revolver was clutched
in his right hand. Mrs. Lindsey
thought he was dead and rushed
from the house, calling for the police.
The boy was taken to the Elmer
gency hospital, where it was found
the bullet had entered above the
right eye, but the probe for the lead
was postponed until the patient re-
covers from the shock. The boy re-
covered consciousness at the hospi-
tai, and said he had attempted sui
eide because his mother wanted him
to go to school and he wished to join
his brother Roy, who died several
weeks ago.

the note after examining the contents
of his revolver, and then sat on the
edge of his bed to kill himself with
one shot
Harry came to Milwaukee last Oc-
tober from Fond du Lac with his
mother and sister to live in the Cass,
street home. He had refused to go
to school since leaving the Lincoln
school, Fond du Lac, and had been
sent to several jobs, which he failed
to keep. The mother supported the
boy by washing and ironing. The
father left his family last May.

MRS. FREEMAN ON STAND
Wife of Chenille Earring Victim VIII
TeStifv

Albert Lea, Feb S.-The sensation
in the tarring case yesterday was
when the defense of Frank Flusek,
who is being tried on an indictment
alleging that he was one of the mob
that tarred and feathered DR.. J. P.
Freeman, the village physician of
Glenville, on the night of Auril 10
last, called Mrs. Freeman, wife of the
states star Witnes, but objection
was made by the prosecution on the
ground that a wife could not testify
against her husband The court ruled
that Mrs. Freeman could testify but
she must be circumscribed as to the
evidence she will give.
The state rested in the afternoon ses-
sion and the defense brought in a
swarm of witnesses tending to prove
an alibi for the defendant, Flusek,
later bringing witnesses to show that
DIR. Freeman admitted several months
after the riot that he did not know
who the parties, engaged in the af-
fair, were.
During the forenoon DR.. Freeman
was the star witness in the prosecu-
ton of Flusek, maintaining that he
was the victim of the rioters violence
The examination of DR.. Freeman con-
sumed nearly all the morning session
and following his esNmony his conf
dental clerk, Carl Leighley, was called
and told of the attack and the subse-
quent events.

KIMMEL CASE IS MYST|FYlNG
INSURANCE ATTORNEY WILL
CALL IMAM OF MYSTERY"
VIII Also Produce Andrew J. White,
Whom Principal Is Al
legged to Be.

St. Louis. Mo-, Feb. 8.-Plots and
counter plots were charged by attor-
news in the Kimmel mystery case IN
the United States district court. The
attorneys completed their statements
to the jury and numerous dispositions
were read.
The first explanation offered in court
for the disappearance of George A.
Kimmel, bank cashier from Arkansas
City, Kan, July %, 1898, was set forth
by Edward O'Bryan, attorney for the
insurance company which is being
sued by the receiver of defunct bank
of Niles, Mich, for insurance on Kim
mels life.
O'Bryan said Kimmel owed $4,000
on paper about to fall due, had only
$1,000 to meet the debts, and was in
danger in connection with $4,000
express robbery. He then told the jur-
ors that Andrew J. White, the former
New York convict, to whom he refer
red without qualification as "Kimmel'
would tell his story to the jury.
The attorney said that after Kimmel
disappeared his relatives paid his
debts in part, out of the remaining as
sets, Just as if he were alive. The
insurance company, he said, notified
Mrs. Kimmel, mother of the man who
disappeared, that he had been found
in prison and that she paid no atten-
ton to the notice.
O'Bryan said he would prove that
Kimmel was in ST. Louis, July %, 1893
the time that an important witness for
the bank receiver has stated he was
in Arkansas.
This witness, John B. SWinney, has,
in deposition, stated that he saw

MED that White, whom he called kim
MEL is Turkey White, a former
railroad employee. Turkey White, it
is said, will testify in the trial.

convicts at the state prison, to expire
