NEW YORK. September 11.-Inter-
est In the bond market today again
centered in the st. Paul issues.
After the sharp break of Wednes-
day. the junior liens steaded some
what and even made fractional gains
In the early trading, but the secured
os or 1894 were weak and the Chi
caso, Milwaukee and Puget Sound As
were offered down in large volume,
both on the exchange and over the
counter The per cent loan of 1884
is secured by pledge of general mort
gage bonds and is generally consid-
ered entirely sound. 1t was offered
IN January of this year at 96k and

day. The Puget Sound As are secured

mere was no fresh news about the
St Paul situation.
Sugar Bonds Surprise.
Other speculative rails were quiet
and little changed. Among the trac-
tlons the features were Hudson and
Manhattan incomes which were firm
ABOVE 81, in sympathy with the
strength in the stocks on the curb
exchange. The point of interest
among industrials was the failure of
the sugar bonds to respond to the
improved outlook for the sugar pro-
ducing corporations. The chief in
stance of this was the Cuba Cane
Sugar IS which sold below par. This
Is the highest yielding listed sugar
bond.
High grade domestic investment
issues were firm. Time money was
reported easier which contributed to
the strength in investment bonds
The market, however, was spotty
with some issues in active demand
and others equally high grade
neglected.
Belgian Issues Very Strong.
Tho feature of the foreign list was
another new high for the new Bel
glan Gus. Jugoslav SIS made no re-
sponse to the announcement that the

HOPEFUL OF
MINE BOOM
Was Mining Camp 100 Years
Ago-Mines May Again
Be Towns Salvation.

SHULLSBURG = This district is
about to witness a revival of the good
old mining days. Shullsburg was
founded as mining camp nearly 100
years ago, and there has never been
a year since that time that the dis
trict has not produced lead or zinc,
in amounts varying according to the
markets. Next year promises to be
the best of all. Work at the James
mine, Vinegar Hill proposition just
west of town, has been resumed and
the mill is now in operation. The Cope
land, owned by the Mineral Point
Zinc Co. and located on the same farm
south of the James, is getting busy.
Men are at work there getting the
plant in shape TO immediate opera
ton. This same company is also busy
tearing down che mill at the Penna-
Benton and moving it to the Booty
land where they have a proven mine.
They also have about thirty men
working at the Champion mine in
New Diggings and will have it on a
producing basis IN a very short time
The Paquette mine is running full
blast and numerous prospectOrs are
looking for new riches. If the ore
market continues at the present price
the production next year will be
record breaker.-Pick & Cad.

BADGER LAW
MILL WORKS
OVERTIME
Capitol Building Crowded
and More Room Needed.
Should Cut Costs.

MADISON, Dec. 10-The S. r. O..
sign mas been hung on the Ctate Cap
itol in Madison. Standing room only
is now the rule there.
Persistent rumor has it that the
coming legislature will be asked to
authorize appropriations for the erec-
ton of an office building to house
state departments now quartered in
rented office space about the city.
such a building would cost at least
a million dollars to build at present
peak prices-another million added to
the taxpayers already heavy burden.
The magnificent seven million dollar
statehouse, completed less than ten
years ago, is already inadequate-tho
it's architects certainly planned to
meet future needs nd normal growth.
Perhaps the fault lies in too much
government; not in TOO little room.
The cav factory on the hill' has
been working overtime. Result: the
statehouse is now filed beyond capa-
city with boards and bureaus and
commissions. With more new ones be-
ing established each year, provision of
some sort must be made for the muSh-
room crop of new employees if thes
policy is to persist. The state already
pays more than $4,000 a year rent
for overflow office space in Madison.
Outside offices became necessary
soon after the capitol was completed.
Since 1921 the state has been paying
$1100 per month rent for an entire
three story building, designed and
built as a garage, but remodeled into
an office building at the taxpayers
expense.
Now comes talk of new office
building, or perhaps the purchase OF
the Beaver building valued at $354,60O
but not for sale at that price. Where
will it all end? Taxpayers generally
feel that the sane solution lies in re-
duction in the public payroll rather
than in further outlay of the states
money for a new office building to
house more employees.

HOUR FOR
RELIGIOUS
TEACHING
School Board of PIatteville
Authorizes at Request
of Ministers.

PLATTEVILLE-All the ministers
of Platteville requested the Board of
Education that the children of the 4th
9Th and 9th grades of the public
school and Normal be allowed one
hour each week to be instructed in
religious matters.
The plan has been successfully
tried in many schools. During this one
hour children will be sent to the
church designated by the parent. 1t
is matter that is entirely within the
direction of each parent. If it is the
wish of the parent the child will be
sent to the church selected by the
parents, and should they not desire
the child to receive religious instruc-
ton he must have his regular work
in school during that hour.
This work will not be started until
the second semester, which will give
time to complete all arrangements for
its Introduction. This will then give
sufficient time to learn whether the
plan can be successfully carried on
for the nent year.-News.

FIND COPPER
ORE OF VALUE
NEAR GRATIOT
State Metallurgist Makes an
Important Find.-May
Lead to Development.

The discovery of valuable copper
deposits in southwestern Wisconsin
near Gratiot and Darlington, has been
reported to the department of mining
and metallurgy of the University of
Wisconsin, by e. T. McNett of Cuba
City, and an assay of the ore made
by the university showed the presence
of "a per cent copper.
A shipment of the ore was sent to
the university this week for complete
test, since the metallurgical depart
ment is equipped with small copper
blast furnace adequate for such a
test. The ore will be assayed, a
smelling charge will be calculated,
and the ore will be smelted in blast
furnace to separate the copper, under
the same conditions employed at a
larger smelter.
"This test will prove whether the
ore from the Gratiot district has COM
mercial value,' said Prof. G. j. Bar
ker, who has bad wide experience in
western copper smelters. Although
we have known for several years that
the deposits of copper occur in this
vicinity, the value of these deposits
was undetermined The samples as
sayed here show very high grade
copper ore.
1--WE expect the smelling to show
the ore of considerable value, and in
this event, prospecting will be car
ried out for copper and new min
ing center will be established in Wis
consin in the Gratiot district.
at is fortunata that the mining de-
partment is particularly well equipped
to cooperate with Mr. McNett in
carrying on these tests in Wisconsin,
said Prof. Barker.

BREMEN MAN
SEEKS NEWS
OF KIN HERE
Letter From Germany to
Mayor Geo. Beck, Asking
Trace of Cox Family.

Queer requests come to news
paper office. They come from all
sources. News is like gold-where you
can find it.
Mayor Geo. Beck hands the Herald
letter received from e. f. Engeling
of No. Hagenauerstrafer, Bremen,
Germany, dated Nov. 23d, 1924. Mr.
Engeling seeks news of American rel
atives of his, desiring a visit and re-
newal of acquaintance. He makes
clear that it is merely interest that
prompts him as he is not in need of
financial support.
Mr.. Engeling desires news of de-
scendants of Geo. III. Cox, native of
this county, who died Dec. IS, 1863.
Mr. Cox was married to Margaret Lul-
man, a native of Bremen and a rela-
tive of Mr.. Engeling Ola his mothers
side. Three children survived their
father. They were: Clarence, born in
1853, resided in Omaha, where he
died not long ago, leaves a wife;
Orah, born 1857, became the wife of
1857, bookkeeper in ST. Paul for many
years, died about the same time as his
brother and sister, leaving wife and
a daughter who now reside in Texas.
An obituary of Mr.. Cox, published
in the Herald of Dec. 26, 1863, recites
that Geo. III. Cox, aged so, died Dec.
10, leaving a wife and three small
children to mourn his loss. Mr.. Cox
was a native of Allentown, N. j., who
came to Wisconsin in 1897 locating
first at Cassville. He later moved to
Lancaster and acquired a competence
through good management. He was in
terested in mineral lands and held
several public offices with credit. He
was known as good citizen and
companionable, cheerful man.
A copy of this paper will be mailed
the Bremen relatives of Mr.. Cox so
they will know their request has been
complied with
In looking the matter up the Her
aid learned from DR.. S. e. Hassell that
his deceased wife, Mrs Orah Cox Has
sell, was a daughter of George H. Cox,
referred to by Mr. Engerling. Mrs.
Hassell, a woman of sanity charac-
ter, passed away two years ago. Mr..
Cox was the first settler in Lancaster,
locating in Pigeon valley, near what
is now called "the old light plant"
about 1885. Where the heart of Lam
caster is now Mr.. Cox had waving
fields of grain He took great inter-
est in Union soldiers and helped them
in every way possible, entertaining
them, etc. DR.. Hassell has read the
letter in the Herald's hands and will
write Mr. Engerling a letter. There
is but one of the Cox descendants liv-
ing, a child of one of the boys. The
brothers died several years ago.

The Old Days When
Rows Learned Trades.

Thirty years ago the writer carried
and sold papers on the street. rms
is no narrowing tale. We are still sell
ling papers. That we have gone no
farther and risen no higher is our
own fault and no ones else. Life is as
each man makes it for himself. And
if he fails to achieve the mark of his
boyhood dreams it is because he
dreamed and wanted without work
ing and denying.
Grown men nowadays, are fond OF
telling how hard they had to work,
how they made their first dime and
how they gradually toiled up the lad
der of success, wrestling victory from
opposing forces.
Most of these stories are polite flc-
ton. We older fellows like to regale
the growing boys with our thread-bare
experiences. We amplify on how we
chopped wood in the early hours and
walked miles and miles to a little
school Then at night we communed
with the great minds, reading beside
a fire of pine knots, just like Lincoln
did.
The DAYS were colder then but we
were heroic stuff. We wore our little
brass-toed boots and kicked the
snowdrifts without overshoes. Around
our necks went the old-fashioned
wooden mufflers. We romped over
snow and ice all day and slept sound
" all night in unheated bedrooms.
This is true. The part where we tell
about how the snow drifting through
the chinks in the walls is our imagin-
alton running away again.
And back in those days boys actual
" thought they had to learn trade
The old philosophy was this: do what

Violation of Liquor Law.
May Appeal Case.

DODGEVILLE-Er Olson and
Thomas Glynn were both found guilty
by jury yesterday after trial here
in county court before Circuit Judge
S. E. Smalley for violation of the state
prohibition law The judge sentenced
Glynn to pay fine of $500 or serve
four months in the county jail, and
fined Olson $100, with the choice of
two months in jail. A stay of ex-
ecution was granted for twenty days
to allow time for an appeal to the
state supreme court. AS no witnesses
were called for the accused men, it
is supposed an appeal will be taken.

ternoon. The defense filed an affida-
Wit of prejudice, and Judge jerks ar
ranged for Judge Smalley to preside.
The case went to the jury at $3.50 yes
terday afternoon, and the jury came
in with verdict at $40 yesterday
evening. -Dodgeville Sun.
Olson lives Mt Boscobel and Glynn
at Woodman. One night year ago
last summer the two men were en-
route to Milwaukee. Near Ridgeway
their machine side-swiped a car in
which Mrs. Charlotte Bell, an aged wo-
man of Aberdeen, S. D., was riding.
The second car ran against a bank
and Mrs. Bell was thrown out and
mortally hurt.
Olson and Glynn were stopped at
Mt Horeb and locked up. Three trials
on separate charges followed with
verdicts of not guilty in each case. In
the last case the defendants lost.
