other Celestials who were Willing

the Cinnamon smoking opium, but
hlled the recorders Office full >of
pipes, lamps, "Engshe" and other
paraphernalia. The three Cinnamon
that were Jailed Sunday evening
pleaded guilty under the ordinance
on opium smoking, and not having
the money to pay their fines, were
returned for safe keeping. Sam, how
ever, fought the case, with Gov. Rhea
as counsel, and succeeded in proving
the worthlessness of the ordinance
prohibiting opium smoking. Sam was
arrested, however, under another or
dinance, but jury decided that it
did not hold good in his case, so Sam
and all his relatives were liberated.

Monumental Japanese Lexicon.

1t has long been regretted that
Japan was without great exhaustive
dictionary, but that want is about to
be supplied. At dinner in Tokyo on
October 10 it was announced that after
fifteen years of assiduous work by
Professor Matsui of the Tokyo High
er Normal school the new Japanese
Lexicon" in four volumes is ready for
publication. The first colume had al
ready passed the last proof reading,
while the other three volumes will be
issued after next year at the rate of
a volume a year. The company was
highly distinguished, comprising many
members of the cabinet and $50 schol-
ars and educators. Minister of Edu-
cation Takata paid a glowing tribute
to the two indefatigable compilers.
Marquis Okuma, the premier, in his
address, recounted that the first die
tionary compiled in the Orient was
that completed in the reign of the
Chinese Emperor Shin; it's vocabulary,
however, containing only 1900 words
The Kanghsi Lexicon, an authorita-
tive Chinese dictionary, was compiled
in the early stages of the Ching dynas-
ty and comprised some 10000 words.
The new Japanese dictionary by Pro-
fessors Uyeda and Matsui is exhaus-
tive, treating 100000 words. It's manu-
scripts make pile 40 feet high. The
perseverance and energy of the pro-
fessors are entitled to the highest
praise, concluded the premier-East

GOVERNMENT LAND

MANY SETTLERS ON
VIRGIN SOIL.
MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED
Majority of Homeseekers Are Foreign
ers Without Money-About 5000
Acres of Land Still Open
to Entry.

Wausau.-Interest in government
lands in Wisconsin is still keen, and
the United States land office at the
federal building in Wausau is receiv-
ing many inquiries from prospective
settlers for northern Wisconsin.
During the last year the federal
land Office at Wausau answered ap-
proximately $500 queries regarding
government lands" said Kurt A. Bey-
ries, the officer in charge. 1--WE have
not counted the number of answers
written, but we had literature prepar-
ed for that number, and it is now near
ly used up. A large number of these
queries were from homeseekers eager
TO secure a piece of land to develop
into productive farm"
About 5000 acres of land are still
open to entry. Practically all of that
land can be used for agricultural pur-
poses. On some there is timber. The
swamp lands were taken up by the
state number of years ago. Almost
all of the land open to entry is located
in northern Wisconsin. A large ma
jority Of the homeseekers are foreign
ers virtually without money, who are
willing to become pioneers.
There are now about 1000 home
steaderS who are still living out their
tenure of service on their lands to Sc
cure a complete title to the land.
These are now coming in at intervals

PRACTICE RIGHT RESTORED
Gov. Phillip Issues Executive Order in
Case of Doctor A. r. Law
of Madison.

Madison.-Gov. Philip has entered
an executive order directing the resto-
ration to DR. A R. Law of Madison the
right to practice medicine in Wiscon-
sin.
This action of the executive was
taken upon the urgent request of
large number of prominent people of
Madison and vicinity, among whom a
number of practicing physicians were
petitioners.
DR.. Law was deprived of the right to
practice his profession by a judgment
of the Circuit court of Dane county,
Judge E. Ray Stevens sitting, upon
his conviction of the crime of man.
slaughter in producing death by an
illegal operation.
Upon that conviction DR.. Law was
sentenced to serve eight years in the
state prison. Later, upon petition of
hundreds of citizens of Madison and
other cities, Gov. McGovern committed
his sentence and later Dr. Law was
paroled.
On June 10 last Gov. Philip grant
ed pardon to restore the doctor to
citizenship. At that time the governor
was urged to restore to him the right
to practice but did not do so.
Following that, however, petitions
were renewed and it was urged and
believed by many that the order of
restoration to citizenship in effect re-
voked the order of the court denying
the right to practice.

Eastern Firm Seeks Restraining Order
Against Weigle-Benzoate of
Soda Issue.
Madison.-A fight for the admission
of its products into Wisconsin, despite
the state pure food laws, on the ground
that the state law is in contradiction
to the federal pure food laws, was
started in the federal court when the
Curtice Bros company of Rochester,
n. Y, asked Judge A. L. Sanborn in
the federal district court for the wet
ern district of Wisconsin, to restrain
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
George J. Weigle from enforcing the
state pure food law against the sale in
this state of products containing ben
zoate of soda. The bill filed by Attor-
ney H. o. Fairchild of Green Bay de
clares the federal pure food laws al
low such sale in Wisconsin, and that
the department of agriculture has
ruled that benzoate of soda is not
harmful.
Commissioner Weigle has refused to
recognize the federal statutes, which
give a clean bill OF health to the prod
uct of the compliments, and Judge San
born is asked to order him to recog-
nize the federal statute where it con-
ficts with the state laws.
Commissioner Weigle has declared
that his only duty was to enforce the
state laws, and will not without fed
eral court order recognize the federal
statutes when they conflict with the
state regulations.

Fountains in France

Who is responsible for the dry foun-
tain? asks the London Chronicle A
correspondent cites a case from
Groombridge, in Sussex. Just before
you enter that picturesque town you
see fountain, with a seat, a horse
trough and even a dogs drinking
place. Alas! never once, on several
visits, could l get a draft of water
from it, though the drinking cup re-
manned to testify to its one-time
benefcence to thirsty wayfarers.
They do these things so much better
in France. You will find few French
villages without a public fountain,
fountain, moreover, that is often
work of art. What English villages do
you recall where a free draft of
water is available? Should you desire
such. you must summon up enough
courage to ask at cottage door, to be
confounded, probably. with that nui-
sance of rural life, the tramp. Exter-
nally, we English take water literally
enough; internally, we seem agreed to
boycott it.
