the voucher accounts for $40 900 ex-
pended at the Lake Champlain cele-
bration in 1909 The vouchers were

Peril of Overstudv.

The suicide of a promising young
college student and the recent break
down of a young girl who had come
from a distance to Boston to acquire
higher education are instances which
serve to call attention to the peril that
lies in Overstudy. To be studiOus Is
admirable but to devote ones ener-
giles to the acquiring Of book knowl-
edge with such application that the
mind collapses and judgment is de-
throned is pitiful.
There is middle ground between in
difference and extreme zeal that every
pupil should endeavor to attain. 1t is
better to be near the foot of the class
and have health and strength and a
fair working knowledge than to be
among the leaders and a nervous
wreck. Teachers should give kindly
advice to students who are inclined to
overstudy, and parents should be
watchful and prevent injurious devo-
tion to studies. A thoughtful word in
time may save many a girl from
breaking down.

/. IN FEDERAL COURT
Will Hear Question of Validity
of New Wisconsin Law.
STATE COURT HAS A TEST
supreme Tribunal at Madison Ex-
pected to Hand Down Decision as
to Statutes Constitutonality at
Sitting on January 80.

Madison.-Judge Kohlsaat of Chi
cago, ILL.,, sitting for Judge A. L. San
born of the federal court for the
Western district of Wisconsin, has
set for hearing in Chicago on Feb.
Z a petition of the st. Croix Fails.
Mimi, Improvement company and
the st. Croix Falls. Wis, Improve
ment company for an injunction re-
stralning the attorney general and
the railroad commission of Wiscon-
sin from attempting to enforce the
new water powers taxation and regu-
lation law, on the ground that it is
unconstitutional.
Judge Kohlsaat will call in two
other federal judges, probably Judge
Baker of Indianapolis, Ind. and
Judge Humphrey of Springfield, Ill.
to sit with him in the case. Judge
hohlsaat did not issue a temporary
restraining order in the case, as the
attorney general agreed not to dis
turb the petitioners until the federal
court had heard the petition.
1t is expected that the Supreme
court OF Wisconsin will announce it's
decision on the question of the con-
stitutionality of this law when it sits
on Jan. 30.

CASH ROAD TAX is FAVORED
Nearly Half of Counties of State
Have Adopted New System,
Says Bulletin.

Madison.-About one-half of the
counties of the state already have
taken advantage of the law passed
by the last legislature which enables
county boards of supervisors to adopt
the cash system of paying highway
taxes. At recent county board meet
ings affirmative action on this propo-
sition, according to the state high
way commission, was taken by the
following counties:
Ashland, Barron, Buffalo, Chippe-
wa, Columbia, Dane, Douglas, Eau
Claire, Florence, Grant, Green, Green
Lake, Juneau, Kenosha, Lafayette,
Lincoln, Marinette, Pierce, Portage,
Price, Racine, Rock, Richland, Wau-
paca, Vernon, Trempealeau, Wal
worth, Waukesha, Waushara and
Winnebago.
In a bulletin on the cash system
just issued by the commission it is
pointed out that the old system of
working out the road taxes proves
inefficient.

PILOT DROPS DEAD;
BIC VESSELS COLLIDE
Liner Cleveland Rams Armored Cru
User Colorado-No One
Injured.

Honolulu, Hawaii. In col
Iision between the Hamburg-Amer-
lean liner Cleveland, with hundreds
Of American tourists on board, and
the United States armored cruiser
Colorado. the latter suffered consid-
cradle damage. The collision was due
to the fact that Pilot Milton P. San
ders, who was in charge Of the
Cleveland, had dropped dead on the
liners bridge.
The passengers, terror-stricken,
rushed to the decks in hordes and the
ships officers for moment were non
plussed by the inexplicabIe behavior
OF the vessel. Finally a quartermas-
ter rushed to the bridge and stumbled
over the body of Milton P. Sanders,
harbor pilot, who had taken the wheel
when the vessel entered the port. He
Immediately signaled the engineers to
reverse the propeIlers. The liner
backed away from the cruiser and the
anchor was dropped.
The liner suffered practically no
damage, but the cruiser was badly
damned, one gun being ruined.

Detective Burns Has Evidence Wit.

Washington.-When the senate com
mittee inquiring into the election Of
Senator William Lorimer of Illinois
resumes its session the allegation will
be made that Charles MCGOWAN, a
contractor living at Regina, Canada,
had received $1,000 for his testimony
IN behalf of the senator.
Mr.. MCGOWAN appeared before the
committee on July IS, last. and testi-
fed that he was a passenger on a
train running from Duluth to Virginia,
Mimi. On the same train were G. F.
Wiehe and Edward Hines. 1t was on
this train that Wiehe, brother-in-law
of Hines, is supposed to have said that
q Jackpot" fund of 100000 had been
subscribed by the friends of Senator
Lorimer to buy his election to the
senate.
For over three months representa-
tives of William J. Burns, the de-
tective, were employed to gather in
formation bearing on the Lorimer
case. They were acting under the di-
Tection of ]. J. HeaIy, the special cOun-
sci employed by the senate commit
tee.
During this time the detectives Sc
cured a Photographic confession from
MCGOWAN, which recorded that he had
been paid by the Lorimer people to
refute the testimony of c. F. Wiehe.

Yukon Fields 0utdone in Mantle
ba Is the Report.
NUGGETS FOUND IN FOWLS
Chunks of Metal Weighing Six Ounces
Are Unearthed Only Two Feet
Below the Surface at
MinItonas.

Winnipeg, Man. - There is a
great rush of gold seekers for Mini
tomas, a small town 268. miles west Of
here on the Canadian Northern rail
road, and men, women and children
by the hundreds are gathering there
in quest Of riches.
Gold has been discovered there, and
If even only small percentage of the
fabulous stories being told are true it
Is the richest find in the history of
western Canada and rivals the Yukon
fields
For Christmas George Elliott, a
farmer, took into Minitonas several
turkeys. When dressed, particles Of
gold were found in their crops. One
had several small nuggets. The dis
cOyery was kept as quiet as possible
while several went prospecting, but
without success. Then others heard
of it and traced the turkeys to Eli
otis, and there began prospecting.
Last week several small nuggets were
found and claims staked, but it was
not until this week that the finds were
taken seriously.
Several days ago several drills were
put to work and gold in paying guam
titles was struck in seams only two
feet below the surface. George HoI-
rOyd, Yukon miner, with q pick and
shovel found a nugget weighing more
than seven ounces. At the next shovel
full he dug out a four and three and
a half ounce nugget.
Many other finds have been report
ed in all directions from town, until
1t becomes evident that Minttonas is
built upon bed of goId-bearing black
sand similar to that found in the Yu-
kon.

SURELY DESERVED A RAISE
The Office Boy in the Vaudeville
Sketch Took the Laugh From
the Star.

The actor born, be he old or young.
only sees things one way. The other
DAY one Of the stars Of the legitimate
stage determined upon a little venture
into vaudeville. He selected for that
purpose strong little pIaylet, tense
with tragedy. One Of the members Of
his little company was a youngster
twelve years old, Jimmie by name.
who took the part Of an Office boy.
During the tryoUt weeks through the
small towns nearby Jimmie had a sin
gle line to speak. The story was deftly
carried along, until the central char
acter, crouched in the very center of
the stage, heard over the telephone Of
the death Of bis wife and child.
Stunned By the blow, he sat there, IN
able to speak or move. And then lit
tie Jimmie, the Office boy, walked for
ward, and placed his hand in that
Of the elder man. Gee" said little
Jimmie, Then me kid brudder's dead,
too"
Now there isn't anything humor-
GUS in that sentence. But the vaude-
VINE duuLtuCG II Inc uyOul tO"AS
invariably took IT as a signal for laugh
ter. Perhaps their oVerstrained nerves
demanded some relief. Perhaps 1t real
ly seemed funny to them. In any
event lasgh they did, and heartily.
After a fair test had been given, little
Jimmie's one line was struck out, and
that youthful Thespian succumbed to
a severe fit of the blues for a time.
And then he frightened up, bought
him new necktie, wore his hat at a
sassier angle, and on Saturday struck
the manager for a raise in salary. Il
gotta have 1t, see?" said Jimmie "Oh
I'll give you me two weeks notice
right now"
The manager wanted to know why
Jimmie thought himself entitled to a
boost.
II like your noive," said Jimmie
Didn't I take the laugh away from
the starr"
