THREE KILLED BY COAL GAS
Fumes from Stove Fatal to Aged
Milwaukee Couple and Son
Neighbors Find Bodies.

Milwaukee.-Three persons were
asphyxiated by fumes escaping from
coal stove in their home at Bay
View, and their bodies were not dis
covered until two days later.
The dead are:
JOHN SCHULTZ, laborer, aged rs
years.
KATRINA SCHULTZ, his wife,
aged SO years.
WILLIAM BARTEL, an adopted
son, aged Is years.
The bodies were discovered by a
party of neighbors who, alarmed at
the non-appearance of the members
OF the family, broke into the house.
The first appearance of the bodies
indicated that crime had been COM
mltted. The froth escaping from the
victims mouths, was taken for gags
oy nelghbors. 1t was known that
Mrs. Schultz had considerable
amount OF money home with her with
which to pay her taxes.
Mr.. Schultz, en- invalid, slept in a
front room, and he was found as if
asleep, with glass of milk, on which
he made his breakfast after his wife
LETT for her work in the morning,
standing beside him. The evidences
were that he had died without a
struggle
Mrs. Schultz and the adopted son
were found in their rooms adjoining
the room in which the stove was
kept. The boy was grasping a post
OF the bed, his position indicating
that he had tried to struggle from
his bed. The woman's position also
indicated struggle.

WARNS AGAINST CHAMBERS
Diseased Horses Being Shipped Ints
Wisconsin, Says State Veteri-
marian Eliason.

Madison.-''It has come to the no.
tice of this department several times
recently that unprincipled persons
have knowingly shipped into this
state horses affected with CHAMBERS,
said State Veterinarian o. H. Eliason
today
Attention should be called to the
fact that all horses shipped into this
state must be Mallein-tested for CLAN
ders. This can be done at the place
of loading with much less trouble to
all concerned, for if there are any re-
actors such animals would be paid
for in the state wherein they were
bought. If tested, in case of reac-
ton there would necessarily be loss
to the owner, as the state does not
compensate for horses which appar-
emily have contracted diseases in
other states"
The motive for this ruling was pri-
marily to avoid the imposition of IN
necessary hardship on honest ship

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 countless:
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 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.

Ore Deposits Near Surface.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored in the earth, below the
reach of miners, but experts aver
that there is little or no ground to
believe that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in the earth's crust. Such
deposits, it is said, are made by un-
derground waters, and owing to the
pressure on the rocks at great depths.
the waters are confined to a shell near
the surface With few exceptions. ore
deposits become too lean to repay
working below three thousand feet.
Nine mines in ten, taking the world as
whole, are poorer in the second thou
nand feet than In the first. and poorer
ret In the third thousand.

Test for Upper Berth Law.

Madison.-James P. Hall, Chi

county circuit court against the Mil
waukee road to test the Wisconsin
upper berth law, requiring that up
per berths remain closed unless oc-
cupied. Mr.. Hall complained to the
state railroad commission that the
road was not obeying the law and
the matter was turned over to the
attorney general for a decision. The
railway company holds that the law
