the cans are kept partially filed with

coal oil. The box must not come in

Cures coIIamore's Witness.

Dode Birmingham says he has cured
Allan Collamores wildness. While
warming up Collamore, Birmingham
noted that in his windup the pitcher
removed his gaze from the plate for an
instant, and decided this was his fault.
BY careful coaching Birmy has taught
Collamore to keep his optics glued to
the plate no matter how much he dis
locates himself in his windup, and the
result is that Collamore is locating the
plate without trouble.

Summer Diet for Pics.

In summer the animal heat is kept
up with but little effort, and in conse-
quence lighter diet should be fed to
pigs. The food should be thinned
down with some good sweet whey,
kitchen Stops or waste milk. The pigs
will drink this with a relish, and it will
be better for them in every way than
thick, heavy food.

declares that in view of the questions
of scientific, commercial, economic

the discovery of the north pole, the
unsettled right of the United States
citizens to participate in the fur, min
ing and other industries in the far
north and the lack of any declaration

REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION
z. L. Phillip Named For Covsrnoi
of Wisconsin.

The republicans of Wisconsin met
in convention in Madison last Tues
day. 1t was a gathering of the old
wheelhorses, those opposed to LaFol-
letism, and especially interested in
getting the state back into the safe
and sane states of the Union, accord
ding to their way of thinking, and
any old way to be so far ahead of the
LaFollette-McGovern wrecking-plan
of state government, as one can well
imagine. Rousing speeches were
made by James Monahan, r. L. Phil
lipp, and many others, all soundly
lambasting LaFollette and the pro-
gressiye wing of the republican party.
Levi Bancroft had to get into the
limelight and\it would have been
better had he staid at home. He is a
disturber and brings no strength to
any party.
Hon. A. L, KreutZer of Wausau,
was placed on the ticket as attorney
general. Mr.. KreutZer will add great
strength to the ticket if he will ac-
cept. 1t is generally thought that if
Mr.. Kreutzer had been placed at the
head of the ticket the chances OF win
ming in the primaries would have
been greatly enhanced.
The following ticket was placed in
nomination:
For Governor-E. L. Phillip, Of
Milwaukee.
For Lieutenant William
NJ. Bray of Oshkosh.
For Secretary of State-Nels Hol-
man of Deerfeld.
For State Marshall Cou-
sins of Eau Claire.
For Attorney General "A. L. Ereut-
ger of Wausau.
For United States Senator-Leyi III,
Bancroft of Richland Center.
The salient points of declaration of
principles are as follows:
81. That the citizen be permitted to
manage his own affairs.
-. To have local government
administered by officers Of our own
selection.
80. To abolish forthwith all COM
missions which experience has shown,
are not only useless, but are instru-
ments of party and official tyranny.
81. To restrain and limit the re-
manning commissions so that they
shall be the servants, not the masters
of the people.
% To rid the people of all unneces-
Sary officers and employees.

non admitting OF exact calculation and

When an earthquake occurs beneath
the sea the vertical movements Of the
sea bed generate great wave, which
Is p.opagated outward from the center
of the shock and reaches the land after
the arrival of the earth wave. In the
open sea this wave is so broad that 1t
cannot be perceived, but wner it reach

rusfles forward as an immense break

and overwhelming everything in its
course
The sandy beach deposits and loose
powders are swept away. while inland
the surface is strewn with debris. The
velocity of these great SEE waves is
greater than the ordinary waves raised

rise to sea waves which traversed the
