BOTH Adopts IN DECEIT
How Signals Arranged For Between
Soldier and His Wife Really
Were Carried On.

The captain had not been long mar
ried when he was ordered into camp.
To be sure, the camp was in plain
view Of the captains residence, but
then it was still separation; and to
tighten this terrible condition it was
arranged that the bereaved husband
and wife should signal to each other
often with their handkerchiefs. It was
on the second day that the young wife
was seated on the porch reading. "Tell
me, Jane" said she, lis the captain
still signaling?" Yes, ma am" an,
swered the maid. Then keep waving
your handkerchief. l want to finish
this novel" At the same time, in
camp an officer from an adjoining
company stepped up to the captain.
I say, old fellow" he asked, why do
you keep that man out there all day
waving a handkerchief" ooh, it's
merely bit of signalcode practice for
him"

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Ener-
SON Is Put on Record as
Having Spoken.

1t was Emerson who said, IAN &C
ceptance of the sentiment Of love
throughout Christendom for a season,
would bring the felon and the outcast
to our side in tears, with the devotion
Of his faculties to our service. Love
would put new face on this weary
old world, in which we dwell as pa
gans and enemies too long, and it
would warm the heart to see how fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the
impotence of armies and navies and
lines of defense, would be superseded
by this unarmed child" Alas that
the sentiment has not been accepted,
but instead the world and the indi-
vidual have been laying their plans,
and directing their action, by a calcu-
lation of chances which, of course,
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial civili-
cation, but the things Of commerce
and of calculation perish, while the
sentiment of love endures, because it
is of God, and being of God, is sure
in the end to triumph. -Universalist
Leader.

ORDERS GAMBLING STOPPED
Waukesha Mayor Instructs Police
Chief to Suppress All Machines
of Chance in the City.

Waukesha.-Mayor E. R. Estberg in
structed Chief Of Police Don Mckay to
have removed from every business
place in the city all devices of a gamb-
ling character. Cigar wheels, chance
gum machines, dice games-whether
for candy, money or cigars-all come
within the scope of the order, which
went into effect on Wednesday. Mayor
Estberg said that he had no animosity
toward a seemingly harmless cigar
wheel, or a chance game for box Of
candy or a package of gum, but when
they become so numerous that they
were obnoxious and serve as an intro
duction into the gambling world for
young men ranging from Is to 20
years old, he believed it advisable for
them to be removed.

Madison-Close tab is to be kept
on the expenditures of each state
board and department, according to q
plan outlined in a statement given out
by Gov. Philip.
The statement, after explaining how
the $4,000 appropriation for ascertain
ing the financial condition of the state
at the end of each year had inadver'
tently been repealed, says:
at is my purpose to open set Of
books crediting to every board or de-
partment the sum which each is au-
thorized to receive and which is avail
able for the total expenses of the de-
partment. An itemized statement OF
all expenditures is to be furnished
monthly by each board or department.
This will be charged back against the
fund credited. The balance remaining
in the fund will at all times be readily
determined. 1t is my purpose to see
that state finances are conducted III
the same manner as a well regulated
business institution would conduct it's
affairs.

PERMIT ROUGH" FISHING
State 70 Receive One Cent Per Pound
Last Years Revenue Amount
ed to $18,694.

Madison.-Contract for taking rough
fish from the inland waters of the state
are now being made by the conserYa-
fion commission. These activities are
chiefly confined to the Rock and CraW-
fish rivers, the four-lake region above
Madison, Puckaway lake in Green
Lake county and Beaver Dam lake IN
Dodge county.
The contracts give to the CONNER
cial fishermen the right to take rough
fish from designated waters under SUI
pervision of deputy conservation war
dens and the fishermen pay to the
state l cent per pound for all the fish
taken, principally carp and buffalo.
Last year the fishermen paid to the
state 80 per cent of the gross sale
price of the fish. Under the present
law / cent per pound is a little less
than 80 per cent but it makes more
certain just what the state is to get
and requires less supervision.
Last year the states share of the
revenue from the work was $1S,694.54,
the gross sales being 1884, 1880.

more of Oshkosh, who consulted with
Halford Erickson of the state railroad
commission, the freight rates in Wis
consin are far too high and for the
whole state should be cut 100000
annually.
Chairman Erickson is preparing to
file a complaint, involving all freight
rates in Wisconsin, with the interstate
commerce commission.
Mr.. Tittemore said the freight rate
condition in Wisconsin had been ag-
gravated by the decision in the Mime
sofa rate case. wisconsin freight
rates are about SO per cent too high
on most things" he said.
Mr.. Tittemore, while claiming the
freight rates are too high, says his
chief complaint is of interstate rates
and he may ask the Wisconsin commits
sion to ask for a review of these by
the federal commission.
The Wisconsin commission, both as
at present constituted and as it was
prior to last january, has held that
freight rates in Wisconsin are not ex-
cessive, inasmuch as they enable no
railroad in the state to pay more than
6 per cent upon the valuation Of its
