Our Classy State Capitol.

If any body thinks Wisconsin is not
going to have a state capitol what
am, he has another guess coming.
Whether or not we approve the vast
expense involved in such a building
the dome alone of which will cost
two millions of dollars we must agree
that there is little in the way of
frills which this is going to lack
when completed. And SO long as we
can't help ourselves in the matter if we
wanted to. we might as we'll swell out
our chests with pride little in con-
sidering it
The dome of this stately pile will
be the third highest cf any In the
world and will have height of 269
feet from the ground. On top of this
will be the bronze statue of woman
that will increase it to 287 feet.
The dome of ST. Peters cathedral,
at Rome, is $50 feet and that of the
national capitol at Washington 3O71s
feet. These are the only two that are
higher than the Wisconsin dome will
be.
The dome of our capital will be
1O4 feet in diameter at the base. It
is constructed Of, concrete reinforced
with 2, 800 tons of steel, with an ex-
terror wall made of 5000 tons of
white granite. In order to place the
main steel Orders, each of which
weighed % tons, it was necessary to
erect square steel tower through the
center, with derricks which could be
moved from corner to corner.
The dome alone will cost So. 500, :
900. considerably more than one third
the price Of the whole building,
which is limited to Sc. 900, 900.

No CASES NOW Of
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Disease Appears to Be Stamped
Out in Lancaster.
No New Cases Have Been Reported
in Past Two Weeks-Homes Flu
migated; Quarantine Raised.

Lancaster physicians and health
officer report that there are at present
no cases of infantile paralysis in the
city, the persons who were afflicted
with the disease having recovered,
and the qarantine raised, the homes
in each instance having been
thoroughly fumigated.
There is, therefore, no sense what
ever in sumo of the silly rumors that
have been circulated in other sections
of the county. The last case report
ed anywhere near Lancaster was the
one that occurred south of town fair
week, and that was So mild that there
is reason to doubt whether it really
was paralysis.
There have been cases reported at
Bloomington. Livingston, Fennimore
and Platteville, but So far as can be
learned they are all under control
aud there appear to be no new cases.
No instance has been found, either, in
which it is known that the disease
has actually been communicated FROM
any one locality to another.
1t is q matter of much satisfaction
and relief to note that the spread of
this terrible disease has apparently
teen stopped

Scrub Sires a Menace.

1t will astonish intelligent people
to learn that during 1913, SAT stall
lions, plainly labelled 'Mongrel
or Scrubs by law. have been used
by the farmers of Wisconsin for the
production of horses. said DIR. A.
S. Alexander, head of the Depart
ment of Horse Breeding of the Col
lege of Agriculture of The University
of Wisconsin, in a recent interview.
Such sires' he declared are a
menace to the breeding industry Of
the state. They can only beget scrub
animals which are produced and own
ed at loss.
Properly fed and developed colts
by pure bred sires are at marketable
age, worth at least 500 90 per head
more than those by grade and scrub
sires; yet in 1918 Wisconsin farmers
patronized 1919 grade and scrub sires,
as compared with 1904 pure bred sires.
"The term 'Mongrel or Scrub
means that the stallion so designated
is non descript of unknown breed
ing. The use of such sires is ruiuous,
makes progress absolutely impossible
robs the user of the profits he should
enjoy and perpetuates an undesirable
class of brood mares.
Wisconsin is discredited by all
who own or patronize grade and scrub
sires. Sound, individually excellent
prepotent pure bred registered sires
should be substituted just as soon as
possible. The enrolment certificates
of all public service stations expire
January 1, 1914. and it is sincerely
to be hoped that many of thu de-
trimental sires referred to here will
be voluntarily retired by the owners
Dane County, leads the state with

comes next with 50, while Trem-

Aiken Man Shoots Himself.

Aiken, Jan. 25.--Marion Percival,
one of the best known and most
highly respected citizens Of Aiken,
shot and killed himself this after
noo'. Mr.. Percival was alone in mis-
room 1T his home on York street,
whNn. about 1 o'clock, members of
his family heard a pistol shot They
rushed to his room and found him
lying on his bed, a smoking 3S cali
bre revolver by his side. He died in
few minutes afterwards without re-
gaining consciousness. AS neither
his family nor his friends can ascribe
any motive which would prompt Mr..
Percival to take his own life, it is
believed that the shooting was acci-
dental, and that he was cleaning the
pistol when it discharged.
The bullet entered Mr.. Percival's s
head. He was about SO years of age
and had always lived in Aiken. He
was member Of one of the county's
most prominent families. For seve-
raj years past he had been a sufferer
from rheumatism and had been inca
pacitated for work.
