C. B. WADE DIES

Mr.. c. B. Wade died at his home
on Locust street in this city last
Tuesday of heart trouble, after
brief illness. Mr.. Wade was fifty
seven years of age and came to this
city several months ago from
Litchfeld, ILL.,, where he had been
engaged in the railroad business
for many years. He purchased a
small farm near Spencer, which
he managed while maintaining his
home in the city. His wife and
two step children survive. The
body was taken to his old home at
Litchfeld Wednesday for burial
after brief services at the residence
by Rev. E. L. Southgate.

Eoolinn the Motorist.

The motorist had lost his way on
country road. Hailing the first pedes-
trian he overlook, he asked the way
to Blankville.

very clearly" replied the pedestrian,
shut if you'll take me in your car I'll
point 1t out to you as we go along"
"Good," said the motorist. Jump
In"
"First off," directed the pedestrian,
as he took his seat in the car, "you
drive straight ahead the way you
were going for about two miles"
When the two miles had been trav-
ersed, he continued: "Now, If you'll let
me out here can show you the rest Of
the way without going along. Just
turn around and go back three miles
and there you are"
"Why didn't you tell me that in the
first place instead of taking me two
miles in the wrong direction?" demand
ed the motOrfSt.
II didn't want to hurt your feelings
right away by telling you you were go
ing in the wrong direction" replied
the other, "and, besides, live here"

New York, Oct. 21.-The Antilles, a
freight and passenger steamship of g.
SIS tons gross, owned by the Southern
Pacific Steamship company CMorgan
line). was one of the crack American
coast liners. She piled between New
Orleans and New York and had car
ried thousands of persons to the
Mardi Gras celebration. The vessel
was taken over by the government
as a transport early in the war. Cap
tain H. F. Boyde, master of the An

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
ditiOn, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
m the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be respondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, re-
stores health to the kidneys and is just
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.
Get medium or large bottle immedi.
ately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper. Adv.

those aboard the Antilles came with
the shock of the explosion of the tor
pedo, many theories were current as
to how the UIboat crept through the
destroyer screen, did its work and es-
capped unchallenged.
A majority Of the officers who would
comment thought the transport and
her conveying patrols had ran directly
over lurking submarine, which saw
them coming, calculated the distance
and launched her deadly torpedo with
out ever showing more than her peril
scope. They regard it as probable
that the U-boat commander picked his
place, lay in wait below the surface
until his microphones told him the
patrols had passed and the transport
was upon him, then shot his periscope
above water only long enough to sight
and fire before he ducked back to
safety.
Rescue Work Prevents Pursuit.
Any attempt to locate the submarine
probably was made impossible by the
necessity of rescuing the survivors.
The vessel must have been virtually
torn In half by the explosion to have
gone down in the time she did.
Probably the attack was made well
out at sea. 1t took two days for the
news to reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word
could reach Admiral Sims. The sur
vivors are believed to be already safe
ashore somewhere in France or Eng.
land.
So far as known, no high officers OF
the army or navy were due to return
on the Antilles. There is no definite
information on that point, however, as
only General Pershing knows who was
sent home on the ship. The reports
so far show that a number Of army
officers and 33 enlisted army men
were aboard. Evidently Admiral
Sims rushed his tidings off before he
communicated with General Pershing.
Is First Transport Hit.
The loss of the Antilles marks the
first reduction of the transport fleet
that has been operating. A very con-
siderable number of American troops,
workmen and others involved in the
prosecution Of the war have been car
led safely to France and England and
the unsuccessful attack on the first
contingent is the only recorded previ-
Gus instance where the U-boats have
succeeded even in catching sight Of
the vessels.

Tell Farmers to Make Best Corn Yield

Tell Farmers to Make Best Corn Yield.
A high pressure campaign has been
started to supply Wisconsin corn grow
ers with suitable seed corn for their
1913 planting.
With scarcely enough seed corn to
go around, there is need to conserve
the available supply. To accomplish
this three special field agents have
been appointed to assist Wisconsin
farmers in the campaign. They are
A. G. Russell, Augusta; Noyes Raes-
sler, Beloit, and e. D. Holden, Madi-
son. They will work under the joint
direction of the agricultural extension
service. University of Wisconsin, and
the United States department of agri'
culture.
"Hunt for, save, cure and store the
best there is" will be the slogan to
animate the statewide seed corn selec.
ton drive which is now engaging the
attention Of county agricultural repre-
sentatives, emergency food agents,
farmers clubs, and county councils Of
defense.
The widespread early frosts have
made concerted action necessary
throughout the state in order that
the 1913 corn planting may not be seri-
ously restricted for want of suitable
seed.

ton of the following:

The amounts which go to the uni
versity and normals are on the basis
Of mill taxes based on the value OF
the property The seventeenth mill
tax for the support Of the common
schools, the $4,000 for the free high
school and the 100000 for the graded
schools is redistricted back to the dis
tricts, the state acting merely as an
agency for collection.
Because of change in the highway
law at the 1915 session Of the legisla-
ture no direct taxes are levied for that
purpose. This money for highways
comes out of the general fund. In
1912 the sum Of $35O,00O; in 1913 the
sum of $1,65O,OOO, and in 1914 the sum
of S1.OOO,OOO was levied as state high
way aid. This is no longer necessary
because of the change in the law.
During the last three years there has
been no state tax for the building OF
the state capitol. In 1914 the aggre-
gate state taxes and aids amounted to
S5.272. 1858; in 1915 to $4,43O,736, and
This wear the amount is about 100000
higher than last year.

MadiSOn.-GovernOr Philip has is
sued statement announcing that a
special session Of the legislature will
meet in December. War and excise
legislation will be practically the only
subjects included in the call. Just
what war legislation will be proposed
is not known, but the call will be broad
enough to include any matters having
a direct connection with WiscOnsin's
part in prosecuting the war.
The excise question will not be
ripped wide open, present indications
being that the governor will limit
consideration to the question of state
wide Sunday closing.
1t is expected that the session will
be brief. II stated some time ago."
said the governor, "that I would call
a special session of the legislature, and
intend to do so. The session will not
be convened, however, until such time
as the members of the legislature and
those citizens who will be interested
in the legislation to be considered are
able to come to Madison without leav-
ing work at home which demands their
personal attention. In preparing the
call for the special session the list of
subjects will be limited to those
which demand immediate attention.
shall, as I already have stated, ask
the legislature to pass on the question
Of statewide closing Of saloons on
Sunday. All other legislation must
wait until q regular session.
