WANT GAME LAWS CHANGED
Amendment for Further Protection Of
Deer Will Be Subject Of Fight
Before Legislature.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. very decided
changes in the game laws are to be
proposed at the coming session of the
legislature. The question which will
attract the most attention will be that
Oh greater protection for deer. and not
only viii the bill which has been Of
Tered several times previously. to pro-
nlDlt altogether the shooting Of does.
De presented, but another measure
VIII be introduced which will limit
the deer season to ten days and thus
reduce the open season for deer
hunting to exactly one half the period
at present allowed.
No attempt will be made at the
coming session to repeal the law pro-
hlolting the shooting of ducks in the
spring. Supporters of spring shooting
nave become convinced, it is said, that
tnere is no chance for the passage Of
a law restoring spring shooting and
nave therefore decided to abandon the
long night which has been made for a
restoration of spring shooting.
There are some changes to be pro-
posed in the fishing as well as the
hunting laws, but they will not be as
important as the amendments which
are desired to the hunting laws.

PLAN MERGER OF SOCIETIES
Too Many Conventions and Too Many
Fees Has Been Compiaint--WiIl
Vote at Next State Meet.

Madison.-A reorganization of the
Wisconsin Teachers association is be
ing given consideration. The plan is
proposed by the council of administers
ton of the state association, giving
heed to long standing complaint
Of too many teachers conventions and
too many fees. At present there are
teachers associations in half a dozen
sections of the state besides the state
association, all of which meet annual
ly. BY the reorganization plan it is
proposed to merge them all, the state
association meeting every two years
and the sectional meetings to be held
in alternate years. In other words,
the state teachers will meet as unit
one year, and in sections in their dis
tricts the next year Teachers under
this plan will belong to federation,
and be entitled to attend any or all
sectional meetings for one fee.
The plan will come up for a vote
before the state meeting at Milwau-
kee next fall, and If carried, will go
into effect in 1916, provided the dis
trict associations in the meantime
amend their constitutions to make It
possible. Little or no opposition has
been offered to this plan so far.

FRENCH SAVE BRAVE FOEMAN
Colonel Spares Life Of Airman Who
Slew Three Of His Assail-
ants.

Paris, France.-An example OF the
good craftsmanship among the French
was shown In a letter written by a
German aviator to his parents. Fly
ing high over the French trenches, the
German pilot was killed and the avn
ator was severely wounded. The avi-
ator, however, succeeded in bringing
his machine safe to earth within the
French lines.
He was Immediately attacked on all
sides, but throwing himself under the
wing Of his machine for concealment.
he succeeded in killing three of his as.
sailants before his revolver was
empty. When he ceased firing the
soldiers rushed up to bayonet him.
but their colonel stopped them, say.

MAILS MUST NOT BE USED
Unlicensed Risk Companies Forbidden
To Solicit Business in State
Where They Are Not Entered.

Madison.-That the solicitation Of
life insurance through the mails in
this state by an unlicensed company
is in violation of the laws of this state,
and that the federal law relating to
extradition should be amended to aid
the states in enforcing their laws
against foreign insurance companies
in the same way that it has been
amended in enforcement of the prohi-
bition against the sale of intoxicating
liquors, is the substance of an opinion
rendered by Atty.-Gen. w. G. Owen,
in reply to an inquiry by Commits
sioner of Insurance Herman L. Ekern.

the auction block and will be disposed
of to the highest bidder.

BY Wife.

Antigo.-Policeman Nels Madison, a

twice by his wife while he lay in bed
Of his home. One bullet lodged in his
arm which he had raised in defense.
The shot was intended for his head.
The other struck him in the foot. He
was taken to the city hospital. Mrs.
Madison was placed in custody and is
now in jail here.
That she heard voices telling her to
kill her husband, was the delusion of
Mrs. Madison, who has been showing
signs of insanity for several days. 1t
was her condition that caused Madison
to return from a hunting trip to take

The Woman's Club of Las Vegas
should be encouraged in it's work for
the betterment Of the INDECENT famf-
lies of the city. The ladies have done
much effective work in an entirely un-
obtrustive way. It is true that they
are obliged to appeal to the public for
aid occasionally, but so carefully is the
work done that the deserving poor are
cared for and nobody is the wiser
Many people would starve rather
than receive charity and have the pub

1t is impossible to do work of char
liable nature without the aid of some
organization, no matter how many
people there are in community ready
and anxious to assist in providing for
the deserving poor. The Woman's
club, having taken hold of the work
so efficiently, deserves support, espec
tally at the Christmas season, when

The rumors stated that the time Of

IN modern battles few opponents ever
actually see each other They fight
from places Of concealment, while over
their heads shrek the shells of long
range guns of enormous caliber and
terrific power 1t has been shown in
many instances that well constructed
and well manned trenches cannot be
taken by frontal assault without enor-
nous losses to the assailants. Lateral
trenches furnish exceedingly poor
marks for artillery and it may be set
down that only by chance can shell
be dropped into such trench by a
range piece.
In our own civil war entrenchments
we're frequently used, but their con.
struction followed precedents, such as
the defenses Of mud and sandbags
made. by Jackson at New Orleans
But scientific entrenchment to take
the place of forts is really modern
idea. Sappers and engineers now are
more important than ever to an adj
yancing army for progress is most
often represented by skill in trench
making. The man in the trench has
taken the place Of the man on slSir-
mish. An army advances like col
ony Of, human moles. We have heard
much recently of the elaborate nature
OF European trenches. In some in.
stances these trenches have been ella
borated to the point of being almost
luxurious. They are timbered and
floored, and in them the men eat,
sleep and fight. The occasional close
lproximity trenches of the respective
sides has led to an almost flippant M
Itimacy between enemies-an intimacy
that has found expression in frequent
exchanges. of tobacco and food, and
even in visits to each others trenches
under isolated and unofficial truce ar
rangements. In some respects the
condition of the modern soldier is NOT
nearly so hard as in former times. The
agencies for his destruction have in
creased marvelously, but the devices
that contribute to his comfort are
more numerous and effective-Kan-

GOOD AMATEUR
PLAY
THEIR PRODUCTION OF 1.-THE PRI
VATE SECRETARY" WAS
EXCELLENT

Last night at the Duncan opera
house the Elks presented "The Pri-
yate Secretary a three act farce
comedy, to an audience that packed
the hall to capacity. The play was
well acted all through and produced
IA great deal of laughter and applause
The lines themselves are indescrib-
ably witty, and the situations are
screamingly funny. All the charac-
tiers made the most of their parts,
producing play that was wen worth
going to see. aa
G. e. Morrison, in the character
Of Mr.. Catternole, the gay old sport
who insisted on having his name pro
nounced correctly, was especially
good. He acted to perfection the
crusty vet kind hearted old individual

who wished his nephew to SOW his
wild oats while he was yet young. He
looked the part; both from the point
Of view Of build ana facial makeup.
He was excellent in initiating the
grouchy old gentleman's gruff man
lner.
Mrs. Hallett Reynolds, in the role
Of Miss Ashford, the spiritualist en-
thusiast, was good. She had the re-
served and dignified mien Of the old
! lady she was portraying, yet she was
able to give realistically the mysteri-
Gus air generally connected with all
things pertaining to the spirits.
3. J, McWenie, in the character of
the Rev. Robert spauldlng, the pri-
vate secretary, also was good in his
part He managed to get himself
thoroughly entangled in his goods
and chattels" in a great variety of
ways. His part was funny and had
the crowd in spaslns of laughter sew
eral times.
Mrs. w. c. Dennis, in the part of
Mrs. Stead, the landlady, was realistic
in her portrayal of the gentle and con-
siderate "old fool" as Cattermole
characterized her. She was especial
| ly good in her scene with the old
uncle.
Orrin Blood carried out well the
part of Douglas Cattermole, the old
mans nephew. He was the most self
possessed and cool of any one in the
cast. A lot Of people, after the per
formance last night, wanted to take
lessons in making love from him.
Miss Marie Clement, as Eva Web
ster, looked and acted well the part
of the mischievous young lady. Her
work was natural and pleasing.
Miss Mary Harris as Edith Mars
land also was pleasant to look upon.
She carried out her part well.
Dorset Tolman, in the role Of Glib
son, the tailor, looked almost too nice
for the part he was scheduled to play.
He was good, especially in the first
act. 4
Bert Adams, in the character Of Mr..
Marsland, was natural in the role of
the dignified master of the fox hounds.
His lines were laughabIe in several
parts, especially in his scenes with
