FINISH LONG MARCH
WISCONSIN BOYS COMPLETE 80
MILE HIKE FROM AUSTIN.
Return Trip Made in Two Days Less
Time Than Required For Going
Excellent Showing Made.

San Antonio, Text was footsore
but nght-hearted lot of soldier boys
that marched through San Antonio
headed for Camp Wilson on the last
lap of the eight-three mile hike from
Austin.
Although legs were swollen, backs
ached and throats were parched, the
militia from Illinois and Wisconsin
that formed the advance guard of Gen.
Greene's division were happy in the
fact that with the arrival in Camp Will
son they were to receive orders that
would send at least part of them
home.
The main body of the troops in the
twelfth provisional division on reach
ing Camp Wilson completed the
march from Austin in two days less
time than was required for the going
trip. The excellent form shown by the
guardsmen caused Gen. Greene to
shorten the schedule.
According to staff officers of the
southern department, the fact that the
troops are able to shorten the time of
their going trip by two days on the
return march, shows the benefit of the
training they have received since leav-
ing for Austin Sept. 16. On the start
from Camp Wilson many men fell out
of the ranks for the first two or three
days, even in short marches which the
schedule called for. Now they are
coming back, able to negotiate greater
distances in far better condition.

GOVERNOR CALLS SPECIAL SEES
SION TO PROVIDE MEANS FOR
GUARDSMEN TO VOTE.
TWO METHODS SUGGESTED
Law Makers to Discuss Whether Vote
Shall Be Cast on the Field or
MaiIed-May Discuss Vot-
ing Machines.

Madison-Gov. Philip has issued
call for a special session of the state
legislature to provide means for the
National guardsmen now serving on
the border to vote. The session, 1t is
understood, will convene Oct. 10.
Two methods of voting have been
suggested, and considerable discussion
may ensue before the final decision is
reached. The lawmakers must decide
whether the guardsmen shall vote on
the field before duly authorized cleo.
ton commissioners, or whether the
vote shall be mailed by the men to
the precinct in the state where they
are legal voters.
The matter of the use of voting ma.
chimes also has been discussed as a
possible subject to come before the
special session.
The secretary of state has issued a
notice of primary election to be held
on Oct II to nominate candidates for
state senator in the Fifth senatorial
district to succeed Senator E. T. Fair

100 vlLLlSTAS KILLED
LEADER TAKEN PRISONER FIFTY
MILES FROM CHIHUAHUA CITY.
General Ramos, in Command of the
Carranza Forces, Is Slightly
Wounded.

Chihuahua City, Mex, Sept. 3d.
More, than hundred Villista followers
were killed, the bandit leader, Baude-
Ito Tribe, was taken prisoner and
heavy casualties were suffered by Car
rama forces in a fight at Cusihuiria-
chic, an important mining center about
50 miles southwest of Chihuahua
City, according to a message received
by General Trevino from Gen. MatiaS
Ramos, who himself was slightly
wounded.
General Ramos had left Chihuahua
City with a large force of Carranza
troops, with orders to divide his force
and distribute the troops in such po-
sitions as to prevent Villa from NOV
ing northward toward the American
expeditionary force.
1t is stated that the garrison at
Cusihuiriachic co-operated with the
forces of Ramos, but whether they
were attacked or were the aggressors
is not known.
BandeliO Tribe, leader of the band
and Villas chief lieutenant, was the
originator of the idea of cutting off
the ears of captured government sol
diers. Many others of his command
are reported to have been made pris-
oner.

PICKLES IMPORTANT CROP
Upper Wisconsin Farmers Realize
From SIS to $3.50 an Acre on
Their Cucumbers.

Marinette - Reorganization of the
1916 picking season in this locality
shows that pickles are one of the sta
pie cash crops playing an important
part in the settlement of the new lands
of upper Wisconsin. The report of
John Lee, manager of the picking sta
ton at CrivitZ, shows receipts of 5000
bushels for the season, and l. M. Grippe,
manager at Wausaukee, reports $500
bushels. A new station with two watts
was erected during the summer at POr-
terfeld, and has been operated
throughout the season. Farmers real
lied all the way from SIS to $3.50 per
acre on their cucumbers. Caulifiower
also showed good returns, being grown
on contract for the picking companies
the same as cucumbers. Because Gu
cumbers grow fast here, are crisp and
firm and disease free, the big picking
companies have been encouraging
their growth here for a number Of
years. Company representatives say
the acreage in upper eastern Wiscon-
sin will be more than doubled in 1917.

GUILTY OF VIOLATING LAW
Jury Renders Verdict Against Oshkosh
Butcher for Keeping Shop Open
for Business on Sunday.

Oshkosh-After a number of house
wives had testified in municipal court
that it was necessary for them to pur-
chase meat on Sundays, as they did
not have ice for keeping the supply
from Saturday, jury returned YER
dict that John Bloechl was guilty OF
violating the state law by keeping his
meat market open for business on sun
day, Sept. 3. Sentence was given by
the judge but an appeal probably will
be taken to the supreme court. Prose
cution of the case was carried on by
Secretary c. E. Ernst of Butcher
Workmen's union No Sc of this city.
The defendant claimed the act was
an exemption from the Sunday closing
law, being a work of necessity. Sew
eral of his customers said they had 10
buy meat Sunday or go without. Other
meat dealers, however, testified they
did not find it necessary to sell meat
on Sundays. BloechPs attorney main
tanned the supreme court had not
passed upon the question, while the
district attorney made point OF an
opinion rendered by the attorney gen
eral that to open meat markets and
grocery stores on Sundays was VIC
lation of the state law. The matter
will probably be made test case be-
fore the supreme court, and will be OF
statewide interest.

SEEKS ONLY TRUCE?
LORD CECIL REPLIES TO GER
MAN CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH.
Bethmann-HoIIweg Confident Teuton's
Will Win-Says Entente Allies
Seek Territorial Aggran-
dizement.

London, Oct. 2.-All of Europe is
ready for peace" but Germany wants
"only truce"
This statement was made by Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war, trade
and blockade, in answer to Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's speech at the
opening of the German reichstag.
"The chancellor's speech shows a
considerable change in tone," declared
the British minister to the correspond
ent of the International News service.
THAT talk of a German victory has
was no word concerning Belgium"
Asked if he considered the chancel-
lor's criticism of England more intense
than before, Lord Robert said:
''It is an old trick to try to con-
vince our allies that we are bleeding
them to death. The idea that England
wants world supremacy is fantastic"
Berlin, Oct. 2.-Germany will per-
severe until victory is hers, the reich
stag was assured by Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, according to the
full text of his speech, which was pub
lished here. The chancellor asserted
that the harvest this. year had made
Germany's position much more secure
than was the case last year.
In his attack upon Great Britain Won
Bethmann-Hollweg declared that that
country was breaking one interna-
tional law after another, and was
above all Germany's most egotis-
teal, fiercest and most obstinate en-
emy."

RUSS RENEW LEMBERG DRIVE
1000 Teutons Captured, Says Official
Report Issued at Petrograd-At-
tackled From Two Sides.

London, Oct. 3.-The two-pronged
advance of the Russians on Lemberg
is again gathering full Roadway, and
the Austro- German armies of Prince
Leopold of Bavaria and Archduke
Karl have been pushed back. Both
northeast and southeast of the Cali
clan capital the Russians have. regis
tered advances, capturing, according to
the official report issued on Sunday at
Petrograd, more than 1000 prisoners.
Russian gains are admitted by Berlin.
The two main actions are being
waged in the region of the Brody-
Kranse railway, about 80 miles north
east of Lemberg, and in the Brezezany
sector of the Zlota Lipa river, so miles
southeast of the city.
In the former district the Russians
have pressed forward against heavy
resistance, taking about 1000 prison
ers. A Teuton position on the right

$4,000 PEOPLE SEE BLAZE
One Hundred and Fifty Workers Es-

in History of the Stock Yards
Heavy Loss at Cleveland Yards.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 4.-Fire caused
more than $1,000,00O damage on Mon
day to the pork house of Morris & Co.
South side, and for a time threatened
TO destroy the entire plant. Every
available piece of fire apparatus in the
city was playing on the blaze at one
time.
Fully $4,000 Omaha people watched
the blaze. The plant was located be-
tween the o street and Q street via
ducts, in the very bottom of hollow.
The viaducts TO the north and south
and the hills to the east and west
formed natural amphitheater for the
throngs of spectators. The fire was
the largest in the history of the South
Omaha stock yards.
Superintendent Spangler stated that
there was more than $1,000000 worth
of pork products in the building where
the fire started. 1t is a total loss.
The flames spread rapidly upward
and downward through the building.
One hundred and fifty men working
overtime in the fresh pork department
on the seventh floor made a hurried
exit No one else but watchmen and
ire guards were in the plant where the
blaze broke out.
Morris plant extends north and
south. The pork house was at the
extreme south. The beef house to
the north, the Office building, north Of
the beef house, and the machine shops
across the tracks were all in dam
ger.
A long string of freight cars was
showed up to a number of refrigerator
cars which were standing near the
loading dock. A daring switchman
coupled them up and the loaded cars
were saved.
Cleveland, O., Oct. 4.-The Union
Stock yards here were partly destroyed
by fire on Monday.
1t is believed the fire was started
by incendiaries, who fired several
bales of straw near the loading chutes
in the hog pens. More than 1,400 hogs
in cars nearby were hauled away safe
ly, but several carloads of cattle were
turned loose from the pens and ran
wild about the stock yards.
