tions of the corporations railway
lines. Any recommendation which
line are also due to come up for con-
sideration when figures for the bud
get are considered.

window, and standing on a frail
scaffold Of his own construction
The scaffold collapsed during his
work, and he was thrown to the
ground, alighting on his back.
He was taken to a nearby house
and attended by DR.. Hoagland. Pa
trolman Tonnesen soon arrived with
the patrol and Agesen was rushed

Has Now Reached Climax.
Mexico City, Nov. bit is conceded
here in official circles that the situation
has arrived at so acute a stage that the
climax will be reached within the next
few hours.
Rumors are current throughout the
city that the United States embassy
may be closed.
Huerta refuses to listen to those
among his advisers who counsel him to
keep the pledges he made before the
election of Oct. 20 and confers only
with those who encourage his blind
ambition and his fond belief that he
could whip the United States.
John Lind left Mexico City after fall
ing to induce General Huerta to carry
out his suggestion Of not convening
the congress, which has been elected
but has not yet met
II will not set my foot In Mexico
City again until this congress is dis
solved" said Mr.. Lind.
This practically breaks off all nego-
tiations between General Huerta and
Washington, and the negotiations will

PLAN A JOINT FISHING LAW
Assembly Paves Way With Resolution
for Settling Wisconsin and.
Minnesota Dispute.

La Crosse.-Recommendation of
the joint boundary commission, head
ed by former Assemblyman John E.
Mcconnell, for joint fishing laws for
the waters lying between Minnesota
and Wisconsin, was accepted by the
Wisconsin assembly at Madison,
when a resolution was passed pro-
viding for the appointment Of COM
mission to deal especially with that
matter
Fishing laws of the two states
have been in conflict heretofore and
with the boundary in Lake Pepin in
dispute, the situation has frequently
become extremely eXasperating to- the
authorities and sportsmen of both
states.
Under the present laws, fishermen
of each state must pay license to
fish in the other and the moving of
boat few feet has often resulted
in the careless fisherman being hailed
into court in one state or the other
and fined heavily for failure to take
out a license

GOV. McGOyern has removed Henry
Hetne, president of the BARRIERS
board. An audit of Heine's accounts
on the order of the state board of
public affairs showed an alleged
shortage of $500. 1t was also found,
according to the auditors, that Heine
had borrowed 500 from the funds
of the board on his personal note
and had violated the rules in other
ways. The order of removal says,
among other things: THAT the said
Henry Heine, as a member of such
board repeatedly charged and col
lected in excess of his actual and ne
cessary expenses; that he failed to
support his statements of expense
with proper receipts; that in such
statements of expense he included
charges for Office work although such
work had already been included in
other per diem charges for services;
and that he neglected to file sched-
ules of inspections made for work

WAYS OF SERVING PIGS FEET
Generally Regarded as PIebeian
Dish, but 1t Is by No Means One
TO Be Dsspised

The following suggestion on pigs
feet from Parker @. Adams are well
to try while cold weather is still with
us
Pigs feet, plebeian dish, but one
that is growing in favor in many cir
cles, may be procured fresh or pick
led at this season of the year For
some purposes | prefer to secure the
fresh feet and pickle them myself.
If you wish to adopt this method get
good-sized feet and place them in
common salt brine for about ten days;
then wash well and cook slowly in
water in which should be also stewed
at the same time a carrot, two large
onions some stalks of celery and a
little parsley. The feet will cook in
from three to four hours
When done drain them in an earth
en- dish, cut them in halves, remove
the larger bones and pressing them
into shape, put them away to COOL
You will find the feet thus prepared
better than the picked pigs feet Sc
cured in the market. To broil therl
and in no way are they better served
season with salt and pepper, brush
over with clarified butter, roll them
ia bread crumbs and broil over clear
fire, turning often, so they will not
burn. They do not require much
broiling and should be served with
piquante sauce.

TO KEEP S3LONS At WORK
Proposed Amendment to Elec ion

Grinde of Trempealeau county has a
novel plan for keeping legislators

He adds new subsection to the

ate or member of the assembly such
declaration shall also state that such
candidate will, if elected, devote his
entire time to the work of the legis-
lature between the converting and ad-
journment of each session thereof,

DELAY NEW EXPRESS RATES
Wisconsin Rate Commission Order
Due March ! Held Up Awaiting
lnterS ate Board Decision.

Madison.-Owing to the fact that
the express rate decision of the inter
state commerce commission has been
delayed fifteen days, the decision of
the Wisconsin railroad commission
affecting express rates in the state
has also been delayed the same pc
Rod The decision of the interstate
commerce commission was to have
taken effect March 1, and the Wis
consin commission had its order
ready to issue the same day. The
reason given for having both orders
go into effect the same time is to OBJ
viate any legal complications that
might arise over a difference in rates
me basis for this opinion is the fact
that a recent Minnesota decision
would indicate that rates materially
different from interstate commerce
rates cannot be sustained
Anticipating that there might be
delay in announcing the decision
ana IN response to the pressing de-
mand for a lowering of the freight
rates of the state, Assemblyman
Hurlbut Of Winnebago county has in
troduced a bill for a 20 per cent re-
duction of the rates in effect in 1909.
He claims thas this reduction is
equal to 80 per cent reduction of
the present rates.

$500, 600 FIRE AT WAUKESHA
New Randall Store Quilted as Result
of Turpentine Explosion-Heavy
Loss Threatened by Flames.

Waukesha.-Fire originating in
the new store of j. K. Randall and
Son, Quilted the building, and for
some time, threatened to wipe out a
large residence and business section
of the city The fact that the Y. M
G. A. building, brick structure adj
joining, served as a barrier to the
flames in reaching several frame
buildings, was largely responsible for
the prevention of a much heavier
loss
An explosion followed an attempt
to heat a can of turpentine on stove
and in short time the interior was
a roaring furnace. The office and
operating force of the telephone COM
pany across the street were obliged
to leave their positions after the heat
had caused the windows to break and
telephone service was suspended for
some time The loss will be about
$4,000.
