New State Map.

The finest map of Wisconsin ever is
sued has just been received from the
engravers. 1t shows all the roads in
the state, and in addition, the main
travelled roads between cities are indi-
Gated by heavy red lines. This map
will be of great use to everyone who
has occasion to drive to any part of the
state with which he is not acquainted.
The different kinds of rock which are
to be found under the soil in the vari-
Gus parts of the state are shown by
colors. In one corner of the map is a
description of each of these geological
formations, giving it's general char
acter, thickness, and the various useful
things derived from it, such as valuable
ores, building stone, mineral water,
artesian water, brick clays, road ma
terial and other products. In another
corner is given list of the elevations
above sea level and many important
features of the state.
The map shows the streams and lakes
in very careful detail The names of
all counties, cities, villages, towns, and
Indian Reservations are given, and all
are carefully brought up to date. All
the railroad and interurban lines are
also shown.
Under special authorization of the
last legislature copies of this map are
to be sent free to every school in the
state by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction. 1t will be of great value
to teachers and pupils as reference
map of the state.
The map will also be appreciated by
owners of automobiles and by all per-
sons interested in the building of good
roads. 1t is a large map, 81 inches
wide and 81 inches long from north to
south. The scale is six miles to one
inch, so township is just one inch
square on the map.
The map is sold by the state at cost
of printing. Mounted on cloth and
provided with sticks at top and bottom,
it is sold for $1.00. The unmounted
paper map in two sheets is sold for 80
cents. 1t can be obtaiued from the
Superintendent of Public Property at
Madison.

THE last legislature, controlled by
progressive sentiment which cares not
for either the people nor the taxpayers,
enacted law providing for the issu-
ance of state primary and general cleo
ton campaign pamphlets for political
candidates. The total cost has been
made public amounting to $14, 827.1
of which amount the seven candidates
whose pictures and write-ups appeared
contributed $1,000, leaving deficit to
be paid by the state of SIS, 1877. IA. 1t
was a farce and robbery of the can
didates who took advantage, in good
faith, of the columns of the pamphlet.

THE interesting fact that ninety thou

THE interesting fact that ninety thou
sand pounds of water are needed to
grow one bushel of wheat, is brought
out in an article in a recent Journal Of
Geography, published at the University
of Wisconsin. To produce one pound
of clover SIG pounds of water are need
ed. Rainfall is measured in inches and
it has been estimated that an inch Of
rainfall over an acre of land weighs
about 227, 900 pounds. If all this rain
fall could be so stored in the soil as to
be available for crops, an inch of rain
fall would produce two and half
bushels of wheat per acre. However,
by no known system of tillage can all
the rainfall be conserved for plant pro-
duction. Since the water that is stored
in the ground is lost by evaporation
much more quickly when the surface
of the soil is wet, one of the ways to
conserve water in portions of the coun-
try where dry farming must be prac
ticed is by forming protective mulch,
or thin layer of dry soil over the sur
face. This dry layer prevents the
deeper soil water from reaching the
surface by destroying the capillary
movement of the soil water.

There are no authoritative state~-
ments being issued about the absence
of Captain Bertram r. Roome. OF
Troop /, but there is lot of talk in
the rank and file. It was declared
that Captain Roome had been kept
away by pressure of business, and

pressure of business" has caused
him to hand in his resignation from
the troop.

COURT RESERVES
SCHEUER DECISION

Vice Chancellor Howell today re-
served decision In a motion broughs
on by Jay Ten Eyck, for the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company, new
owners of the Scheuer building at
Broad and Commerce streets, to
strike from the complaining bill Of
Mrs. Lena Apfebaum certain para
graphs embarrassing the title al a
marketable title"
The Mutual Benefit Company, whA,h
bought in the Scheuer building ht
public auction. on May 81 for s541.s'
0o0 objected particularly to that part
of Mrs. Apfebaum s bill praying for
an injunction to hold up the sale, the
contention that the Orphans Court
had no jurisdiction to try the valid
ity OF claims against Simon Scheuers
Sons and the prayer that no sale of
the property should take place until
after the liquidation of the three
Scheuer firms. S. Scheuer & Sons,
composed of Fred and Albert
Scheuer; Schuer & Bro, of Orange,
composed of Moses and David
scheuer. and Scheuer & Bro of Pat
erson, composed of Selig and Leo
Scheuer, all sons of the late Simon
Scheuer.
Mrs. Apfelbaum is Simon Scheuers
daughter and opposed L e sale on the
ground that she should Aot be COM
PEELED to help pay her fher's debts
through the sale of tht building un-
til their estates were liqaidated. She
is now opposing confirmation Of the
sale by the Orphans Court on the
same grounds through her counsel.
Chauncey G. Parker.
Before the sale of the building last
month Mrs. Apfeibaum sought to
stay 1t by anlinjunction from cham
Gerry. Vice Chancellor Howell would
not allow 1t, however, on the ground
that the property would ultimately
have to go under the hammer and,
operating as 1t Is at loss of $4,000
q year, the interest on the mortgages
would be so far in arrears that ths
mortgages would eventually institute
foreclosure proceedings.
Judge Ten Eyck went before the
Orphans Court last week and OBJ
jected to taking title because the
matters involving it in Chancery had
not yet come up for final hearing He
was willing to accept It, however, IL
the Chancery Court would dismiss the
paragraphs in the bill embarrassing
the title as marketable title and
he came into court with that plea
today. His application, in effect,
asked that the property be rid Of the
attack made on 1t by MIR. Parker
through the fling Of lis pendens,
notice Of which, he says, was not
given the purchaser until several days
after the sale

FAUST PETITIONS
ARE BOTH DENIED
Advisory Master Barrett Finds
No Substantiation in Di-
vorce Charges.

After sitting for several DAYS and
hearing scores of witnesses in the
suit and counter-suit for divorce
brought by Mrs. Lillian M. Faust and
Charles @. Faust. Advisory Master
Halsey M. Barrett has refused both
petitions on the ground that none of
the discriminating testimony was sub
Stimulated
Much OF the testimony Mr.. Barrett
WAS inclined to disbelleve and he
hints at wilful perjury in the case OF
two or three witnesses called in be-
half of Mr.. Faust, who lives at 1872
Willow avenue. Hoboken. In the re-
port Of his findings he says:
The testimony Of the chauffeurs,
Schildmuller and Paul Marquardt
(Hoboken taxicab drivers who swore
Of improprieties they had witnessed
when John Doscher. OF Hoboken
whom Faust named, had taken Mrs.
Faust from Hoboken and from the
Hotel Broad in this city TO her home
In ArlinEton), contains so many con-
tradictions and is so obviously false
that oorroboration was impossible
and was not attempted.
The testimony of two other wit.
nesses for the defense that they had
seen John Doseiier and Mrs. Faust at
hcteis tos5ther. and mad known of
their frequently occupying rooms to-
gether Is either explained as being
mistaken identification or must be
regarded as wilful perjury"
The advisory master places no
crAdence In Faust's statement that he
took young woman to the Palace
HetSl, In Hoboken, at his wife's sug-
gestion so that she might get grounds
against him for divorce. If Faust e
statement had been supported. he
says, he would have had to dismiss
beth bills as collusive. but the only
admission OF such an agreement came
from Faust himself. There Is no
proof Of such an agreement" Mr..
Barrett says, In his report, and Mr..
Faust's testimony is so improbable
and 30 contradictory that | am salts
fed 1t Is entirely a fabrication
More Fabrlcntions, Master Believes.
He considers 1t a proven fact that
Faust and the young woman Mrs.

conclude, he says, that they were
there only few minutes before Mrs.
Faust and her party arrived. The
statement that Faust was intimate
with the 26-year-old daughter of the
people with whom he boards st the
willow avenue address MIR. Barrett
brands as another fabrication.
None of the alleged improprieties
having been proved by either Side,
Mr.. Barrett says he is forced to dis
miss both suits, consequently, after
an expensive litigation, Mr.. and Mrs.
Faust are in identically the same po-
sition they occupied before they
filed their petitions in June and July
of last year.
Faust, however, has on his hands
another piece Of litigation growing
out of the affair. He is suing Doscher.
who is a deputy collector the port
of New York. for $4,000 for alienation
Of his wife's affections. The case is
listed for trial in the fall.
Mrs. Faust is now living With her
two sons and her mother. Mrs. Mary
G. Runyon, at 7i1s Thirteenth avenue,
this city. She formerly lived at 70

also with Sheridan had TO do with
statements both are alleged to have
made at the time of registering and
obtaining a room. The statements
we're 10 the effect that the men were
taking women to the rooms with
them.
In both instances, declared Mr..
Bradner, the two detectives had ad-
mitted that they did not know
whether Mausert had heard the
words directed at him by the Co.'S
grove operators and laid great stress
on the fact that Bangsund. in his
know whether Mausert had heard him
or not. The alleged statements made
10 MauEert by the detectives had been
denied by Mausert, Bradner declared,
and 1t was a question for the jury
TO decide whether they had ever been
made or not.
Bradner further declared that
Bangsund, who had lived at the ho-
tel for a month, had SHOWN that he
was not proper person to obtain
evidence. as he had by his own adj
mission on two occasions at least been
SO intoxicated when he entered the
hotel that he had to be helped to his
room. He had made no report OF
these occasions to the Cosgrove
Agency, by whom he was hired. de-
clared Bradner, who then continued:
"Cosgrove was not employed by the
nti-Saloon League or any good gov
eminent society. yet he and his mon
come here az agents Of virtue" and
once more Bradner reverted to the
fact that the men were violating the
law themselves while engaged In get
ting evidence. He also called atten-
ton to the fact that In not a single
instance did the detectives claim to
have been approached by girls In the
Hotel Broad. In every instance, he
said. the detectives made arrange
ments for the girls to meet them at
the hotel or else met the girls outside
and accompanied them to the hotel
Mr.. Bradner was still arguing be-
fore the jury when court adjourned
for the noon recess.
The defense closed it's summing up
at 2;45 o'clock this afternoon when
the prosecution took up the same
task.
