Wilbur Quits Politics.

Waukesha asked whether
or not he would be candidate for re-
election. Mayor Hawley Wilbur said
Never again!" The demands of bust.
ness affairs are so much that 1t will
be impossible to give the necessary
time to the municipal office, he said.
The announcement that A. j. Dopp Is
being favorably considered as can
didate for mayor brings the names of
4. ID. Walsh, j. G. Laing, Edward
Settler and Philip Kiehl as possible
candidates for that position. Mr.. Kiehl
and Mr.. Dopp have made campaigns
for mayor and proved to be strong.
No definite announcements have been
made. The prospective candidates pre-
fer to give the question more thought
Mr.. Dopp said that IL he did run he
intended formulating his views on sew
eral subjects connected with the city
government and submit same to the
people as a platform.

MOSS PiCKERS MAKE MONEY
Swamp Product, Gatherd by Hand,
Dried and Shipped to Florist, is
Worth $40 Ton.

Grand Rapids.-The moss industry
in the western part of Wood county
and eastern part of Jackson county
promises to become one of the lead
ing industries of this vicinity. Dur
ing the last season the several grow
ers of City Point shipped seventy-five
carloads from that station. The
moss is pulled by hand from the ex-
tensive marshes of that region and
is dried. 1t is then baled into bum
dies weighing forty pounds each, and
shipped in carload quantities to all
parts of the United States, and sold
to florists and nurserymen. The moss
is of the white variety and is har-
vested from June 1 to Nov. /. or I'M
til the water freezes in the marshes.
A good worker will pull ton or
more a day. When 1t lies on the
marshes 1t Is worth only about so
cents per ton, but after being pulled
dried and baled it brings $50 ton
in carload lots.

SHOOTS B0hRDER: SUICIDES
Proprietor Follows Ledger Upstairs,
Fires Three Bullets Into Body and
Then Ends His Own Life,

Milwaukee.-Geza Sabadi, 32, saloon
and boarding house keeper at sos Park
street, FREQ three bullets into Steve
Zwik!e. "a, boarder; then shot Him
self in the mouth. Sabadi died in
stantly. Zwikle died at the Emergency
hospital. The shooting occurred in
Zwlkle's bedroom, just over the sa-
loon. Mrs. Sabadi and boarders say
the tragedy was the result of quar-
rel over money. They say Zwikle, a
hard drinker, owed Sabadi between
$3.50 and 5000 for board and liquor.
Rumor in the neighborhood connects
the name of the boarder with that of
the wife, though the boarders emphat-
lcally deny any hint even of such a
thought.

Statesmen and Large Families.

The revival OF discussion on the
falling birth-rate recalls some Of the
schemes Of statesmen and others to
encourage the rearing Of large fami-
lies. Pitt, for example. said that they
should make relief in cases where
there was a large number Of children
q matter OF right and honor, instead
Of ground of opprobrum and con-
tempt, and he added that that would
make large family a blessing, and
not curse Napoleon offered to take
under his own charge one member OF
any family which contai;.ed seven
male children. And Louis XIV, for
whom no extravaganza was too great.
had exempted from public taxes all
those who married before the age Of
twenty, or had more than ten legiti
mate children.

MAY LICENSE LAND AGENTS
Approves Plan Whereby Prospec-
tive Settlers Would Be Protected.

Milwaukee.--At a meeting of the
Wisconsin Abandonment association,
a resolution providing for state sys-
TEN of licensing real estate agents as
a means of preventing the sale Of
worthless land to prospective farmers,
was approved. Supporters Of the reso-
luton claim that the sale of poor land
in the northern part of the state has
started the rumor that all OF the land
in the tn is worthless and that 1t
has discouraged many persons from
settling in that section. AS there is
vast amount of agricultural land in
upper Wisconsin, the passing of
law to protect would-be settlers from
exploitation would hasten the develop
ment Of that part of the state. It is
claimed.

DECISIONS
IN FRANCHISE SUIT
FEDERAL COURT JUDGES MAY
RULE ON PERMANENCY OF
INJUNCTION.
TWO COMPANIES INVOLVED
Western Union Telegraph and Phila.
delphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Corporations Ask Re-
strainine Order.

Madison.--A decision Is expected
to be announced soon in the suits
brought by the Western Union Tele-
graph company and the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron company
to restrain the secretary of state
from revoking their franchises to do
business in Wisconsin on the ground
that they violated a statute purport
ing to prohibit them from transfer
ing from state to federal courts suits
brought against them by residents of
Wisconsin. The companies applied
to the federal court for injunctions
to restrain the secretary Of state
from revoking their franchises and
arguments on the applications were
heard by Judges c. c. Kohlsaat Of
Chicago, F.. A. Geiger of Milwaukee
and A. l.. Sanborn Of Madison in Chi
cago last November.
The original action grew out Of
the action brought by Walter l..
Houser against the telegraph COM
pany in the Dane county circuit court
for damages, alleging failure on the
part of the telegraph company to
transmit and deliver a telegram sent
from Philadelphia to Mr.. Blum at
Mondovi, Wis. The telegraph COM
pany applied for an order from the
| court permitting it to take the mat
ter into a federal court, which was
granted.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company is plaintiff in the
present action through the suit
brought by Ole Huen against the COM
pany claiming damages for injuries
alleged to have been sustained while
in the employ of the company. The
action was started in the superior
court OF Douglas county and upon re-
quest of the company the case was
removed to a federal court.
The right of the secretary Of state
to revoke the licenses Of these COM
panes Is based upon section 1770f
of the statutes of Wisconsin In the
following language:
Whenever any foreign corpora
tion doing business in this state shall
remove or make application to re-
move into any district court Of the
United States any action or proceed
| ing commenced against it by any cit
| izen of this state upon any claim or
cause of action arising within this
state, 1t shall be the duty of the sec
rotary of state, upon such fact be-
ing made to appear to him, to re-
woke the license OF such corporation
to do business within this state"
1t Is expected that the decision OF
the judges will involve the validity
of the law and determine the right
of the state to say whether actions
started in a state court may be re-
moved to federal court on the pc
tition Of an interstate corporation,
having headquarters outside OF Wis
consin.

to Be Correct.

Markeen hotel here on Sunday by
cutting his throat with razor. His

ry over his impending appearance be-
fore New York grand jury, where
District Attorney Charles 8. Whitman

William H. Kennedy, on Sunday and
returned to the hotel with him about
noon. After greeting his wife and
daughter Mr. Kennedy said he was 60
Ing to his room to lie down. The son
found his body few moments later.
Mr. Kennedy was born In Buffalo In

to examine John ]. Kennedy as to his
handling of from $50.00O,000 to $780,
100000 Of state moneys as state treas

ly what motives, If any, governed the
selection Of banks In which state

further questioned as to his relations.
If any, with the firm of John ]. Ken
nedy & Co Of Buffalo, which, the dis
trict attorney has been told, Is in the
business Of bonding deposits of state
money in state banks and which Is
now said to be conducted by Ken
