people are killed or injured by the
reckless use of fire arms. It is usually
the innocent that suffer from the care
lessness of some thoughtless person
and public sentiment should frown on
the common use of weapons. In
frontier days when Indians were num-

and it was we'll TO be so. What is the

WISCONSIN LEADS.

According to statement, just is
sued by Director Durand of the bu-
reau of the census, Wisconsin leads
the entire country in the production of
butter. The census figures show that
this state, in single year, produced
131, O49,O 900 pounds of butter, valued at
36,62S,OOO
1t will be of further interest TO know
that during the year, 1863, the period
covered by the census statisticlans,
Wisconsin produced more butter than
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Flor
ida, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Oregon
and Indiana all combined. And the
the most interesting feature of the
whole situation is the fact that Wis

DUMMY" IS GIVEN
CHANCE To TALK

The stranger, who claims to be
deaf and dumb, was this afternoon for
the second time brought before JUS
tice of Peace Adolph andre where
four witnesses appeared and testified
that they heard him talk. The wit.
nesses were Irving Block, Samuel
Hawley, Arthur LOOMS and John
O'Brien. The stranger was sentenced to
three months on the county rock pile
and at the same time given a chance
to talk with the understanding that if
he did he would be set free, but he
would not utter word and continued
to sob piteously. The witnesses re-
peated the words spoken to them by
the alleged impostor.
The charge against IL e stranger was
that of obtaining money under false
pretense. Poor Commissioner J. s.
Griggs was the complaining witness
and the fees of the other witnesses
were paid by him. Mr.. Griggs and
other citizens gave the stranger money
a few nights ago when he claimed to
be without funds. The morning after
Mr.. Griggs noticed the stranger COM
ing from a saloon and he was taken
under arrest. The man gave references
in Milwaukee at which places he
claimed he could be identified but
upon investigation of District Attorney
Malone they proved fruitless.
The man is about so years old and
on account of his appearance the case
is puzzling to the authorities who in
order to gain information have given
the stranger to understand that if he
will demonstrate that he can talk he
will be set free.

about Bismark, North Dakota. The
fossils found there show that as many
as 400 species of plants lived at this
early time, among them being Sc

redwood of California and the remains
of which have been preserved in the
rocks. During this period of mild
climatic conditions when swamp veg

such as dinosaurs were abundant, es-

which must have roamed in large
numbers along the shores of lake and
