LIBRARY COCKS BY MAIL
Parcel Post Marks New Departure In
Extension Work of Wisconsin
Free Library System.

Madison.--Circulatio of library
books by mail is announced as a
new plan by which the Wisconsin
Free Library commission will open to
all the citizens of the state the vast
libraries Of the University and the
State Historical society. Parcels post
and free delivery are to make access
lble almost half million volumes for
every citizen of Wisconsin, regardless
of where he lives.
While use of the parcels post is
new departure in library extension
evolution of the Wisconsin Free Lii
brary system, and is a direct out
growth of the travelling library idea
instituted in this state by Frank Hut
chins about twenty years ago.
Matthew S. Dudgeon, secretary Of
the Free Library Commission, like
Mr.. Hutchins, plans to furnish books
to those who need them most. While
employing the same principle as that
involved in the travelling library
p11u, 11C lldS CApduucu LudI 1uCd 0Q
that instead of merely serving a COM
munity by sending box of books to
some central point, where the country
people can make a selection from
among the 40 or SO volumes in the
box, the commission now is able to
serve the individual and send him
by parcels post any book he may de-
sire which is included among those
in the circulating departments of the
great State Historical and University
libraries.
This plan does for country folks by
mail what the city dWeller does for
himself. When the city man wants
to draw books from the city library
he gets some property owner to sign
his application as guarantor. When
the country man wants to draw books
from the Wisconsin Free Library
commission by parcels post he sends
i letter enclosing the proper amount
Of postage and giving the name Of
the book he desires. At the bottom
of the letter is a statement signed bJ
the school teacher, postmaster or IL
brarian which says that the writer
of the letter is q responsible citizen
of the community in which he lives.

The trial of Lou Davenport, alleged
to have slain Mrs. Minnie De Long,
was begun this morning with the at
tendance of panel of sixty jurors
summoned for the term. The pris-
oner was defended by j X. Cham
bers and each talesman was asked
if he read the Bonanza. Owing to
the enormous circulation of this pa
per in Nye county there was some
trouble in securing jury, as counsel
for the defense said he would never
consent to the acceptance of any man
who might have read the accounts
of the crime that appeared in the
Bonanza. 1t is likely that another
venire will have to be ordered. In
the box at last reports were H. J
Knuppe. Egbert Pollard. Edwin
Schoen, Fl. w. Hatton, Ed. ROtholtz

suicide and an effort will be made

HOLY WAR OPENS
IN TONOPAH OVER
BOSNIAN TRAGEDY
BLOOD ON THE MOON WITH
BROKEN HEADS AND FRAc-
TuRED NOSES.

A religious war broke out in Tono-
pah last night. 1t was not the Irish
or the Orangemen, as one would
suppose, following the display of a
green flag on the twelfth of July,
but it was a real shindig with a lot
of unpronounceable names mixed in
the melee. The trouble began yes
terday afternoon at o'clock when
bunch of Austrians and Servians
came to blows in an uptown saloon.
The group was segregated after one
man had his lip split open with a
beer bottle and was sent to the hos
pital TO be sewed up. Then ensued
quiet until 8 O'Clock, when a dozen
Servians of she Greek Catholic faith
had collision with a section of
Croats and Austrians over the as
sassination OF the Grand Duke of
Austria This occurred at the Monte
Carlo saloon and was participated in
by over a dozen husky giants who
threw themselves at one another
with ferocity that promised few
deaths. In less than minute five
officers were on the scene and Dan
Corbett sailed into the thick of the
fight Before he knew what was
happening he got stiff blow in the
neck that nearly knocked him out
but he rallied quickly and got his
man. BY this time Jack Lamb, June
Peck, Jack Grant and Chief of Police
Evans we're there with their bally
hacks swinging right and left on the
heads of the belligerents, and the
fighters had lively illustration o.
what band of Yankees would have
done at the siege of Salonica. Twt
prisoners who were alleged to have
provoked the trouble were taken t.
the police station, where they wert
booked for disorderly conduct. Spora
die outbreaks kept Main street in al
uproar until 6 o'clock this morning
but no fatalities were reported.
