PARDON FOR INNOCENT MAN
Confession of Alleged Partner in
Crime Frees William M. Fuller
From Life Sentence.

adison-G Gov. McGovern has
granted conditional pardon to Will
liam NJ. Fuller, sentenced from Dane
county in 1898 to serve life term in
Waupun for the murder of an aged
couple at Black Earth.
The crime for which Fuller was SEN
fenced was brutal one, but from the
evidence it appears that William Bes-
tor, who was found guilty at the same
time and who received the same sen
tence was the instigator of the deed
and the actual murderer Bestor has
since died, but before he died he made
an affidavit that Fuller had no part
in the murder.
Fuller's father and mother are now
aged folk in the Soldiers home in
Waupaca and it is one of the condi-
tons of his pardon that he support
them in their home in Jefferson coun-
ty.
Besides the pardon 81 Fuller Gov.
McGovern issued two absolute par
dons and several other conditional
pardons, paroles or combinations.
One other pardon for a prisoner con-
yicted of capital offense was that
granted to William M Mueller, Madt-
son, convicted on April 10, 1898, on
a charge of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to life Imprisonment
for killing Thomas Good.
No further applications will be con-
sidered by the governor until after the
legislature adjourns.

DUCK BILL WILL BE REVIVED
Spring Shooting Measure Killed by

Madison.-The bill perm t n 6
spring shooting of ducks, killed in
the senate by a vote of is to IA, is
to be reconsidered, and it may be that
the rule which sportsmen and con-
servationists have made the standard
in Wisconsin will be set aside and the
killing of wild ducks permitted at the
season when the birds are on their
way north to their breeding places.
Senator True is opposed to spring
shooting and voted against the Ackley
bill when it was killed, but to crafty
brother senator he moved that the
vote be reconsidered and it comes up
on the calendar again Wednesday.
1t is not believed that the friends of
the bill can muster a vote sufficient to
pass it to engrossment, but this is not
certain.

The farmerS wife especially finds 1t ad-
vantageous to selieve herself of all the
cooking possible and Canned Foods en-
able her to do this and at the same timo

Women in every community should OBJ
serve National Canned Foods Week by
going to the dealers and putting in 81 sup

in the use of Canned Foods is entirely
worth While.-Adv.

WISCONSIN FARM
HANDS BEST PAID
PAYS lABORERS MORE THAN
TWICE AS MUCH AS THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
HIGHER AT HARVEST TIME
Average Monthly Wage of Hired
Hands in Badger State Was S27.4o
During f9f2-Average for Entire
United States Only S2O.9i.

Washington, d. C.-The state OF
Wisconsin has the highest priced
farm labor in the United States, east
of the Mississippi river, according to
tabulation made by government sta
tisticians. The average monthly
wage of the hired hands" in the
state of Wisconsin during 1912 was
$27.40, with board. The average for
the entire United States was only
s2081, and this includes the higher
salaries paid in the Rocky Mountain
states, which, owing to local condi-
tions, are abnormally high. Nevada,
for instance, has an average wage of
5000 per month, with board
The Wisconsin rate is more than
twice that paid in most of the south
ern states. 1t is greater by $40
than the rate paid in Illinois. Michi-
gan pays $24.50, almost SO less than
Wisconsin. In Indiana and Ohio the
wage is $21.50, or almost Sc less
than the pay of the Wisconsin work
er. The highest pay in New England
is SOB in Vermont and from this
coast run down to $3.50 in Pennsyl-
vania. On the south Atlantic coast
the wages reach a minimum of
$3.50 in South Carolina and the av-
erage rate for the entire South At
lantic coast from Delaware to Flor
ida is only $1497.
The Wisconsin rate without board
70 ;e, lU
by the rate in Massachusetts with
out board where it is $500, but the
proportion of wages paid on this
basis is so slight that it does not ma
terially change the government sta
tiStics concerning the average rate of
farm pay, and Wisconsin continues to
hold the highest place in this scale.
The government tables also give
the wages per day, both at harvest
times and at times other than har-
vest days. In Wisconsin the rate per
day at harvest, with board, was
$1.61 in 1902, $1.75 in 1911 and
$1.85 in 1912. The rate without
board was $196 in 1902, $2.18 in
1911 and S228 in 1912. Durin g
times other than harvest the rate
in 1902, with board, was $1.14, in
1911 $1.37 and in 1912 $1.46. The
rate without board was $3.50 in
1902, $1.76 in 1911 and $1S7 in
1912
The statistics show that through
out the United States the wages of
farm labor increased about 30 per
cent during the last year and z per
cent during the last two years. Since
1902 the increase has been about "a
per cent.

AS a fact. nothing is known whatever of Habak-

The gist of the first two chapters Of the book
is the grief of the prophet the approa ching
Chaldeans. The last chapter is a poem with
musical directions, which some persons think was
written by another of the same name or title.
Perhaps not many persons know that in this
book is found the familiar quotation: "But the
Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keer
silence before him"
