FOUR ARE DROWNED IN MINE
Overcome by Foul Air and Fall Into
Water at Bottom Of Shaft at Ben

Platteville. men, overcome
by deadly gases, fell into thirty feet
of water in the new shaft of the
Frontier lead and zinc mine at Ben
ton and drowned. They were Will
lam MCGUIRE, John Swift, Joseph
Shea and Edward Hird.
The first three men got into the
bucket to go down and bail out the
water which had been coming into
the shaft for some time. They had
reached a point only a little way
from the surface when they were
overcome by the gas and fell from
the bucket. Hird, who, with others,
was helping at the mouth of the
shaft, realizing that an accident had
happened, attempted to descend and,
in his turn, was overcome by the va
pors and drowned.
Immediate steps we're taken to rid
the shaft of the foul air and in a
short time it was possible to descend.
Volunteers went into the shaft as
soon as possible and in short time
the bodies were brought to the sur

OVEN HEAT NOT THE BEST
Hot Water Should Be Employed When
Necessity Arises to Keep Pre-
pared Food Warm.

To keep food warm Is very impor-
tant detail. to which sufficient atten-
ton is not paid. First of all, food
should never be put into the oven to
keep warm. This is a common prac-
tice and bad one. The kind Of heat
to which the article OF food Is subject
ed tends to dry the surfaces, some
times to a leather. sometimes to
crisp. This spells the flavor and
renders the dish unappetizing.
There is but one right way to keep
warm. Put 1t upon a dish, plate, or
bowl, according to It's consistency;
cover 1t closely with an inverted bowl,
dish, or plate; make 1t as air-tlght az
possible Half iii with boiling water
pot or saucepan, into the top Of
which the vessel containing the food
Will fit; set 1t back on the stove where
the water will be kept at boiling point,
place the dish or bowl under 1t, and
leave until required.
III this suggestion Is followed, II will
be found that most dishes can be kept
for a while without losing caste.
Croquettes aud all fried foods are
the exception. By standing they be-
come limp and soggy. II they cannot
be fried at the last moment, they may
be kept hot a short time in the front
OF an open oven

MUST COMPLY WITH LAW
State Highway Commission Informs
Bayfield, County on Expenditure
of Money for New Roads.

Madison. Bayfield, county
board has been informed by the state
highway commission IL at all money
on new road work must be spent in
compliance with the terms of the
law Before any further advance is
made, said the commission, the main
tenance of the whole system must be
abandoned by the county and the
county money confined to making
certain definite improvements The
1912 state money will be allotted to
the county when it selects and i'm
proves certain specific pieces of road
work or bridges with it's money.
Acting Highway Commissioner A.
r. Hirst wrote that the road work
he saw is not high class and that the
lack of success is due mainly to the
fact that the money has been spent
by scattering 1t each year over all
the county systems.
The state highway commission has
issued a statement showing the to-
tai expenditures of its department for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1912,
were S37,555.69. The general ex-
penditures were $9,730.SS; road de-
partment, S10,935O3; bridge de-
partment, s7.S40.99, and experiment
tai roads, $9,04S.79.

HALF BREEDS PUSSY
CLAIMS FOR LANDS
Make Contention That Holders
Are Not Legal Owners.
GOVERNMENT IS INVOLVED
Property in Dispute Situated In White
Earth Reservation and Is Worth
Several Million Dollars = Lumber
Companies May Be Defendants.

Ashland. --Many times investiga-
tions have been started to trace the
ancestry of Americans in order to
determine their right 10 property or
money, but an unusual investigation
came up in Ashland on Wednesday
in the effort to trace the ancestry OF
several hundred Indians from north
ern Minnesota in order to determine
their right to millions of dollars
worth of timbered lands on the White
Earth reservation.
The members of the White Earth
tribe have secured their tracts of
timber which most of them sold to
lumber companies and much of the
timber has been cut. Many Of these
individual tracts are worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 and many of the
families on the reservation are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000.
The investigation taken up here
was on the contention advanced that
Gus Beauleau and Ben Fairbanks,
two mixed breeds, had no right to be
classed as breed Indians from White
Earth, and about 1000 of their as
sociate mixed breeds. had not right
to be classed as White Earth Indians
on the grounds that their parents did
not go to northern Minnesota until
after the treaty of 1854 setting aside
the Indians in Minnesota into tribe
separate from the Chippewas of Wis
consin.
Many of the parents of the present
mixed breeds or the White Earth res
ervation left this vicinity and went to
Minnesota. The contention is that
most of these Indians left here after
1854 and that where this can be
proven every descendant now holding
allotments on the White Earth res
ervation must be stricken from the
roll and their allotments given back
70 the tribe. With the timber being
cut in many instances the lumber
companies having contracts on the
reservation are the real defendants,
and several million dollars is in
volved in the matter.
Thomas G.. Sherman, representing
the Indian department, is here con-
Quoting the investigation.

FAVOR REGULATED DANCES
State Chiefs of Police ADOPT Reso.
luton at Annual Convention
Want More Members.

Milwaukee.--The Wisconsin Asso-
citation of Chiefs of Police closed its
annual convention here with the cleo
ton of the following officers for the
ensuing year: President, August
Scheck, Sheboygan; vice-president,
Thomas Malone, Wausau; secretary
treasurer, Donald Mckay, Waukesha.
Neenah was chosen as the next meet
ing place lat the invitation of Chief
of Police James Brown of that city.
A resolution adopted by the con-
vention is regarded as the death
knell of unregulated dance halls in
Wisconsin cities. Strict regulation
OF public dances under ordinances
similar to one pending before the
Milwaukee council was recommended
in the resolution.
The association has sixty men,
bers and campaign will be started
to induce 1875 other chiefs of police
and town marshals in the state to
join the organization, thus giving
general representation and aid in
securing desired legislation.

Chicago, Aug. s. Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for presi-
dent and Gov Hiram w. Johnson of
California for vice president by the
convention of the national progress
slye party Wednesday afternoon.
Both nominations We're made by ac-
clamation amid scenes of great en-
thusiasm and a few moments later
both candidates were escorted to the
platform, officially notified of the ac-
ton of the convention and each de-
livered brief speech of acceptance.
The platform was then submitted
to the convention and adopted. 1t
comprises about 5000 words and
follows closely along the lines laid
down by Col. Roosevelt in his speech
delivered to the convention on Tues
day.
Roosevelt was placed in nomina-
ton by William A. Prendergast of
New York and the nomination was
seconded by Judge Ben b. Lindsay
OF Colorado, Henry j. Allen of Kan

Gov. Johnson was placed in nom
nation by John M. Parker of Louis

During the three days the conven-
ton was in session there was not
single roll call, nor a ballot taken.
The delegates asked no such formal
tiles either in placing their candi-
dates in nomination or in voting for
them. There was not a voice of OPP
position either to Col Roosevelt or
Gov. Johnson
There was sharp discussion, how
ever. in several of the committee
meetings, and no little difficulty in
agreeing upon the platform as finally
adopted. Col Roosevelt worked
with the subcommittee In charge of
the platform until late Wednesday
afternoon, going over their work of
the two previous days and nights,
and vigorously helping to mold the
draft which at last proved acceptable
to him. The platform did not take
up the negro question.

OF ILLICIT STILLS
Moonshiners Said to Operate
in Northern Wisconsin.
GOVERNMENT ON THE TRAIL
Search for Sidna Allen In This State
Uncovered Suspicious Circumstan-
COS Among Colony of Southerners
Indians Get Corn WhiskeY.

Milwaukee.-That the wilds of
northern Wisconsin have suggested
themselves as ideal spots for moon
shining and that Illicit distilling of
liquor is believed to be going on
there Is the admission Of Capt. ]. b.
Mccoy, special revenue agent here.
The theory that moonshining is
practiced in Wisconsin was evolved
recently when it became known that
colonies Of southerners had settled
in some of the northern counties,
most notably in Langlade and Forest.
The settlements, it is pointed out,
consist chiefly of people from the
mountain regions of Virginia and
other southern states and, as it will
be remembered, the government re-
Gently sent its search for the famous
Virginia outlaw, Sidna Allen, into
this state.
1t was during the expeditions of
government sleuths into the tangle
of the northern forests, it is claimed,
that the first tips were gotten on
moonshining in Wisconsin.
1t is also known that Indians on
the northern reservations, for months
past, have been experiencing little
difficulty in procuring whisky. This
1t is said, is a corn product.
The similarity of the whisky
found in the possession of Indians to
that distilled by the southern reve-
nue. dodgers, planted suspicion in the
minds of many. 1t is intimated that
arrests may be made soon.
About four years ago several
moonshiners were arrested in the vi
entity of Crandon by local federal
authorities and brought to Milwau-
kee for trial.
