Preus will be 4.15 mills for that por-
ton Of the state outside of Minneapo-
lis, St. Paul and Duluth. and Al for
the three cities named.

.roduced in the legislature by Senator
| Whitman gives greater powers and in
creased jurisdiction to the county court
| for Iowa county. The provisions of the
act are outlined by The Dodgeville
Chronicle as follows:
The enactment confers ON the county

civil actions and proceedings in law and
in equity, concurrent with and equal
with the jurisdiction of the circuit
court of the county for all claims, de-
mands and sums and to and concerning
all property not exceeding the sum or
value of $4,000; provided, that the
county court shall have jurisdiction in
all sections of the county for the fore
closure of mortgages and mechanic
liens in which the amount claimed does
not exceed the sum mentioned and for
all actions for divorce or for affirmance
or annulment of marriage contracts;
and all actions for removing clouds and
quieting title to real estate and all ac
tiOns for partition of real estate and in
all bastardy actions, in all criminal
cases except murder, manslaughter and
homicide. Appeals from justice courts
may be taken either to the circuit court
or county court at the option of the ap
pellant. The county judge shall have
all the jurisdiction and powers that are

new DEVICE GUIDES
SUBMARINE PILOTS
Indicator Shows Exact Posi-
tion Of Graft Under Water.

New York.-Hudson Maxim has in
submarines, which he believes to be at
once cheaper and much better than
those now in use. This implement
will enable a submarine to find her
own position under water and will do
away with the dangerous necessity of
going to the surface for that purpose.
Mr.. Maxim has applied for a patent
on this. He said that while it had not
yet been granted, he understood 1t
would be obtained without difficulty
and that the device would enable the
captain Of submarine to find his posi-
ton on map at any time within a
short distance.
'"There are position indicators of an
English design in use in all the navies
of the world" said Mr. Maxim. "Their
work, however, is cruder. There was
an instance at the beginning of the
war, where a German submarine,
caught in bay by British fiotilla,
was unable to find the way out of the
harbor without rising to the surface.
AS soon as she appeared above the wa
ter she was attacked and destroyed.
Ny device would enable a submarine
commander so caught to locate the
mouth of the bay with accuracy and
slip out under his enemies. The de-
vice also costs only $1,000 to install in
a submarine, whereas the position indi-
Gator at present in use costs ST., 900.
It could of course be used on any ship
as we'll as on submarine.
GAS to a device to enable a subma-
rine to locate another vessel without
coming to the surface, there is no one,
SO far as l know, who has come any
where near solving this problem. Every
offensive device in the history of war
fare has in the end been answered by a
defensive instrument. and l have no
doubt that in time to come some one
will invent reply to the submarine.
But there is no sign of it yet"
Mr.. Maxim is experimenting with an
improved periscope, but was reluctant
to discuss this part Of his activities.
Both this and the position finder, he
said, would be offered to the United
States government as it's exclusive
property, and the navy department had
already allowed him to inspect the sub
marines at present in use in order to
find the improvement most needed.

Berlyn Treloar and Lloyd Short drove
to Andrews Park at Livingston.
Shortly after their arrival the boys
went into the lake bathing. They were
going to race across the pond and Lloyd
was in the rear Berlyn upon looking
back, heard him call for help and he
sank and didn't come up again. Berlyn
hurried to his assistance but felt him
self giving out so he went ashore and
called to others to come to the rescue.
Several men and boys. who were at
the park, rushed in to help and car
was sent to the Coker Mine for some
expert swimmers, who after working
for about an hour, took the body from
the lake.
DR.. Ketterer of Montfort worked with
him and DR.. Ludden of Mineral Point
arrived in the meantime with lung
motor, but it was in vain, as life was
extinct.
Lloyd would have been sixteen years
of age in October and was the eldest
son of Mrs. Lulu Short. He leaves to
mourn his untimely loss his mother and
one brother Willie, and many other
sorrowing relatives and friends.

USE The LIBRARY
DURING VACATION

The library will be closed on Monday
July 5.
The next Story Hour for the children
will be held on Thursday Of next week,
July s, at p. m.
Parents are especially asked to en-
courage little children to come to the
library during vacation. Here are
many good books for their use. In
addition to the information and pleas
ure which children may find they
will be learning to know and to love
good books. When children read and
enjoy good books the influence is
surely helpful to the forming of good
character. The work and study of
later life is sometimes made pleasure
instead of task, by thoughts and ideas
CLEANED, perhaps, from book of history
or adventure.

IMPROVING ROADS
Using the Graders to Right Good
Purpose.
CUTTING DOWN
SCHAAF'S HILL
The City is Doing Some Long Needed
Work on North Dodge Street.

A contractor is at work with force
of men, and with proper machinery and
tools is widening out the roadway and
leveling the grade on Schaaf's hill, just
this side of the Pecatonica river. This
will indeed be fine improvement. 1t
will make good and safe what has long
been a stiff climb at the southwest end
of long stretch Of comparatively level
road on the crown of the ridge from
the northeast. For nearly hundred
years have passengers and freight been
drawn over this famous old road by
teams. When this country was first
settled the products of the mines were
hauled to Galena, and merchandise
which came to Galena by boat was
hauled back into the country. The old
Scotch giant was one of the pioneer
teamsters. In very early days the oxen
and later the horses furnished the
motive power. Now gasolene does a
great part of the work. An easy grade
on Schaafs hill will be greatly appre
ciated by all who pass that way.
The town board of the town of Min
eral Point have taken up in wholesale
way the trade of grading up the high
ways. They employ sufficient motive
power and use the machine grader, the
roller plow and other tools skillfully,
and do right good work. The grader
properly used gives form to the road,
gets the travelled track out in the mid
die and helps to drain the water to the
sides.
Recently with Thomas Collins oper
ating his tractor engine and good
man on the grader, the Galena road
the Hewett road, more directly south,
were put into fine shape. And last
week the Dodgeville road, north from
st. Mary's cemetery, was treated in the
same manner.
The city is putting in some tile cul-
verts and grading up some low places
on North Dodge street, which connects
on the ridge the Dodgeville road with
the Galena road. This improvement
has been long needed; and the council
deserves commentator for undertaking
it at this time.
Another good piece of work has been
done by the town on the Darlington
road near the site of the old town hall
The road on the hillside there has long
been very hard to climb; but it is now
greatly improved.

The Mineral Point Public Service
Pushing the Work of Installation.
A force of men is at work setting
poles in the village and another force
is working this way from Livingston
setting poles for the Mineral Point
Public Service Co., and the service will
be dispelling the darkness here in a
short time.
Some delay in pushing the work was
experienced by the continued rains and
also from the fact that the company
moved the telephone poles enroute on
the opposite side of the road.
The work of wiring residences and
business houses here has been going
forward rapidly for some time, and it
is the belief at present that the greater
number of homes in the village will be
equipped for the service.
S. G.. Mooney, a practical electrician
of large experience, is in charge of the
work here, being ably assisted by
Messrs. Emshof and Kelly.
Poles are now being set in town for
commercial and street lighting. There
will be thirty three 40 c. p. street lights
distributed throughout the village at
the most advantageous points, and one
400 candle light on the public square.

Twenty three Is Mental Maximum.

Harvard's President Tells Graduates
Twenty three Is Mental Maximum.
Cambridge, Mass.-President Lowell
of Harvard university in speech said
that after the age Of twenty three a
mans keener senses begin to lessen, al
though something may be added
through the medium of experience aft
er that age
II believe" said DR.. Lowell, "that the
mental and physical maxima are reach
ed at nearly the same period. A man
reaches his full physical growth when
he is about eighteen or nineteen years
old, and by the time he is twenty-three
he is beginning to lose his keener per-
sceptions, so that this age may be called
the physical maximum. The mental
maximum Is reached a great deal ear
ier than most people suppose"
Speaking to college boys, he contin-
ued: you have reached your physical
maximum and are close upon your
mental maximum. You will probably
gain something more from experience,
but your actual capacity will increase
very little.'

GAVE UNCLE SAM ROSES.
Grown on Experiment Farm to Test
Effect of Climate.

Washington. The formal preSenta-
ton to the United States government
Of more than 400 varieties of roses now
growing in the experimental farm of the
department of agriculture at Arlington,
Va, took place recently at a gathering
of prominent rosariaHs from all sec
tions of the country. The roses were
accepted on behalf of the government
by DR.. W. A Taylor, director of the
bureau of plant industry, who repre-
sented the secretary Of agriculture at
the exercises.
The roses have been growing in the
experimental farm for about two
years. They were donated by florists,
both amateur and professional, living
in all sections Of the country. The
roses are being grown at the expert
mental farm for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the effect Of this climate Oh
the different kinds of plants. Similar
testing gardens have been established
by the National Rose society at Hart
ford, Conn.,; Minneapolis, Mimi; Ithaca,
n. Y, and others are now being estab-
lished on Long Island and at San Fran
cisco.
Two years ago the department Of
agriculture set aside about two acres
Of ground in the experimental farm
for rose testing. The rose plants were
supplied by various rose growers desir-
ing to have different species tested.
The testing of rose bushes takes
three years. They are examined by ex-
perts at frequent intervals during this
period and an accurate record kept Of
their growth and performance.
