OFFICIALS FACE A DEFICIT
Fall a Few Hundred Dollars Short
of Last Year-Make Plans
for 1916 Show.
Attendance.
Receipts.

Milwaukee-When the tents at tne
state fair park had been folded and the
owners had silently moved away, the
figures of the attendance, receipts and
expenses were totaled, and the exhibit
ton for 1915 was pronounced sue
cess.
More than 10000 more persons at
tended this fair than the exhibit year
ago. Of course more than $4,000 chill
dren were admitted free while only
5000 children saw the display last
year. But the larger number bene-
fitted from the displays, which is the
real object of the fair.
Indications are that the receipts will
fall few hundred dollars short of last
years, but it was not possible to de-
termine the exact amount. The Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
had not been heard from, but it was
unofficially stated that the association
had disposed of $4,000 tickets.
1t is expected that the receipts will
total near $4,000. There will be a de-
ficit of about $4,000 Officials for the
fair were confident that had the
weather given them anywhere near a
square deal on the week they would
have made money.
Already plans are being made for
1916. The fair will undoubtedly be on
a paying basis, according to the off.
Gals. Secretary Remey was confident
that there would have been a credit OF
several thousand dollars instead of a
deficit had the weather been fair.

AGENT is ROBBED OF $4,000
Chippewa Falls Niqht Operator of
the 500 Line Held Up at
Point of Revolver.

Chippewa Falls.-A well dressed
masked man held up Kenneth Beals,
night ticket agent of the 500 line, at
the depot at the point of revolver,
forced him to open the safe and took
sos in cash and $4,000 in employees

from a freight train. All the money
and checks were found on his person.
The prisoner, who is 81 years old, re-
fused to give his name. He says he
formerly was a travelling man of Fort
Dodge, Ia. He was broke, he said,
and wanted money.
Just prior to robbing the depot he
tried to hold up Walter Violet. night
bartender at the Riverside Hotel. Vio-
let grabbed him and threw him out,
but could not wrest his gun away.
The robber went to the depot across

lished the holdup and escaped.

FOR THE SWEATER JACKET
New Silky Material Is Declared to Be
Ideal to Make Useful and
Popular Garment.

A sweater coat de luxe was made OF
black and white taffeta with cuffs and
collar of ermine and large buttons of
carved ivory. This coat was to be
worn over white linen or white mus
lin skirts and in conjunction with a
little pierrot hat in white felt or a
broad brimmed tailor in pure white
linen.
For those who do not care to spend
much money on dress just now the
following hint may be useful: White
rabbit skin in good quality makes
ideal collars and cuffs for sweater
coats; the same may be said of mus
quash.
The loveliest sweater jackets are
seen made entirely of the silky mate
rial which the French call CRYSTAL

same material and. therefore, reversi-

white silk tassels on the ends of the

IN A SIMPLE DESIGN
REMARKABLY PRETTY JACKET
AND SKIRT COSTUME.
Plaid and Plain Taffeta Employed
Touches That Are New and Clever
Give Effectiveness to the
Two Garments.

This pretty jacket and skirt cos
tune is made up in faille with a short
jacket of plain rust color and plaid
skirt, with the same ground tone
marked off in black.
The jacket is cut off midway be-
tween the waist line and the hips and
stands away from the figure across
the back and sides, but in front the
material is cut to form straps that
cross over the bust and hook togeth-
er around the waist beneath the over
hanging back. Black taffeta is run
through eyelets in the front and car
ried around the waist with the straps
to tie in bow that hangs bit below
the edge of the jacket in the back.
The collar is an outstanding turn
over, faced with white MORE, and
there are tiny lapels of the same.
Long sleeves are finished without
cuffs, but show bias folds of white
MORE extended over the wrists.
The skirt is quite a simple model
of slightly gored breadths laid in
deep side folds around the belt.

TO RECEIVE WARM WELCOME
Preparations Are Under Way for the
Reception of Bishop Paul Rhode
on Arrival Here.

Green Bay.-ElabOrate preparations
are under way for the reception of
Bishop Paul Peter Rhode of Chicago
when he arrives here on Sept. 20 to
enter upon his duties as bishop of the
Catholic diocese of Green Bay. A
special train will convey a party of
several hundred representative Catho-
lies to Oshkosh, the boundary of the
diocese, to meet the bishop.
The demonstration which will attend
the reception of the new bishop will
be one of the largest religious gather
ings ever held in this state. 1t is said
that over five thousand members of
the Catholic societies will march in
the parade which will be held.
Bishop Rhode will be met by the
procession when he arrives in this
city. City and county officials, many
church dignitaries and nearly all of
the priests of the diocese will be in
the parade and the supply company of
the Second infantry will act as papal
guard before the bishops carriage.

THINK THIS ADVICE OVER
Their Character Rather Than
Their Figure.

Dress your character, not your fig
ure, is the ADVICE of famous actress
and rather surprising this advice
seems at first hearing But think it
over we'll and the excellence of the
idea will appeal to you. Every wom-
an has a certain individuality of her
own-a temperament, if you will
that makes her a little, or perhaps a
good deal, different from all other
women. It is the Observation-Disclosures
temperament-that women should
dress up to, according to the actress,
in order to make the personality more
marked and convincing.
But an instructive carrying out of
this advice with no heed to the
promptings of reason may result in
disaster. For example, there is al
ways the woman who weighs 200
pounds or Whereabouts, but whose per-
sonality is distinctly kittenish. Is
she to dress her character or her fig
ure? There is also the very little
woman who ought to belong to the
cuddly, appealing class, who yearns
20 be impressive and stately. If she
sists upon wearing the garments Of
grenadier woman she may spoil
chances of being fasinatingly
harming.
But between these two extremes
there is a very happy medium and in
this idea of dressing up to ones type
there is also very valuable sugges-
ton. The Importance of rejecting
personal individuality in costume is
appreciated by many women who de-
sign their own clothes and hand the

WATER STARTS $4,000 SUIT
Widow Claims Husbands Death Was
Not Result of CareIessness and
Starts Unique Procedure.

Madison-One of the most unusual
and at the same time important cases
ever brought to the Supreme court Of
Wisconsin was given it's final hearing
when arguments were heard in the
case of the New Dells Lumber COM
pany of Eau Claire and the estate of
Gerhardt Vennen.
Vennen was a workman for the
New Dells concern. 1t is alleged that
he contracted typhoid fever from con-
taminated water while at work. His
widow is suing for $40, 900 for illness
incurred and $4,000 for the result
tant death. The case was nonsuited
in the lower court.
The lumber company contends that
this action properly comes under the
workmen's compensation act and that
the compensation according to the
regular schedule should be paid. The
plaintiffs plea is that there was moth
ing accidental, construed in terms of
the compensation act, about the case.
The argument opens an entirely
new field There is no case in the
history of American or English law
that covers the action. A decision in
favor of the lumber company may
mean that in the future cases of ill
ness contracted by an employe during
the performance of his duties will
come under the compensation act. A
decision for the plaintiff will mean
that damages can be asked in any
amount. The maximum damages that
can be obtained under the compensa-
ton act is $4,000.

SEVERAL IMPORTANT CHANGES
MADE IN GAME LAW BY
LEGISLATORS.
HUNTERS ARE DlSPLEASED
Stringent Measures Were Found
Necessary to Prevent Fraudulent
Sale of Game-No More
Steak Dinners.

Madison.-Several changes not here
tofore made plain, have been made in
the new game laws, the most import
ant of which probably is the serving of
wild meats. According to the new law
the meat of any deer, wild bird, or
trout other than lake trout, cannot be
served at any club, hotel, restaurant
or camp at any time, while other wild
animal may be served only during the
open season.
The law is not looked upon with
favor by a large number of deer hun
tiers who go into the woods, and upon
their return usually have large piece
of meat prepared at some club and in
vite their friends for the feast.
The object of the law is to prevent
the fraudulent sale of game. There
has been a law in force for several
years covering this point, but many
hunters got around it by saying they
gave the meat away and at the same
time accepting money in an indirect
way. Now though, they cannot even
give it away without being liable.
The law as it now reads is as fol
lows: No keeper, manager, or stew
ard of any restaurant, club, hotel,
boarding house, logging camp, or min
ing camp shall sell, barter, serve, or
give or cause to be sold, bartered
served or given to guests or boarders
thereof, the meat of any deer, wild
bird, or trout of any variety other than
lake trout, at any time; or the meat
of any other wild animal during the
closed season therefor.

In the vaults of the Mercantile

placed for safe keeping, twenty or

The owner is Frank Della Tore OF
1929 North Calvert street, prominent

represent much value now, but 20
years hence the owner says, there
isn't an instrument among them that
will bring less than $4,000 or $4,000.
Della Tore now is in England.
Abou- eight months ago he was called
to Europe on business, and has been
there ever since. But for months be-
fore be- sailed he occupied his time in
collecting all kinds of violins and re-
making them. In this sort of work he
is remarkably skillful But it is the
old violin that produces the tone
which appeals to the trained ear Of
the musician and commands high
prices. Twenty years hence, it is be-
lieved. violins of Della Tore will be
classed with the best instruments to
be found in America.
