By Geo. Lines, its attorney. WAS PUNISHED IN AN OLD FASHION APPLETON YOUNG MAN TELLS A STRANGE STORY OF TREATMENT BY OFFICIALS. John Stegert, a young man of about 20 years of age of this city, tells a story of cruel treatment at the hands of the officials at Waupun. According to his story he left here for Neenah in a box car a short time ago.

While in the car a brakeman closed and locked the door and when the passenger was finally able to get out of the car he was in Waupun. There he was arrested for vagrancy and in company with another young man tried to make a dash for liberty. He was retained, however, and for it is alleged, was hung up by the wrists so that simply his toes touched the floor for 24 hours. After a short imprisonment he was allowed to go, but acocrding to his story, misfortune followed him. In taking a train out of the prison city he 'took one going in th'e wrong direction aixu landed in Milwaukee.

Being without money it was necessary for him to beat his way home which he succeeded in doing yesterday, but owing to his riding in exposed positions his cheek was badly frozen before he finally reached his home. IT IS REPORTED THAT DR. PHILLIPS IS AGAIN IN JAIL It is reported that Dr. J. M.

Phillips, of Black Creek, formerly president of the Co-operative Lumber company, been arrested near Winnipeg. According to the report when the doctor was taken to the Canadian police station he remarked that he supposed he would be allowed to go out on bail and was very much surprised when Jhe was informed by the desk sergeant that in that country no bail was given, that when a man was arrested he remained in jail until he was proven innocent, otherwise he re mained until he had finished his sentence. It is also understood that the physician found that on account of the laws of Canada he could not practice his profession there. The nature of the charge against him is not given. Arrested on Serious Charge.

August Miller, of Black Creek, was arrested yesterday at Seymour on a serious charge in which his 14-year old da iTghter is implicated.

In 1905, after the weather begins to be moderately warm to h'ot, the census man -will hold sway in Wisconsin, including every square inch of ground which it is possible to reach. Shortly before August.

1 the census man will preside, to not again appear until 1910, when the next national census is to be taken. The state census is taken every ten years, and so is th'e national count, but the two are arranged so that one enumeration is taken every five years. Among the features of the coming census will be the count of Appleton's population. The state census is not so thorough as the national census as regards statistical information, aside from population. Among the facts whicli will be asked next year by the enumerators are sex, color, nationality, manufacturing statistics and farming affairs.

All former soldiers and sailors and members of the militia are counted separately, besides going in the enrollment for population. The cost for taking the census is paid by the state. City and village clerks get 1 cents per name, but must pay their own help out of this sum. On the county clerk rests the duties of making copies of all the enumerations reported to him, certifying these to the secretary of state and the originals to the reg ister of deeds, for which' he receives $10 per 1,000 population or less, and $3 for eash additional thousand. One cent each is paid for names of soldiers and sailors.

In towns of less than 5,000 the town clerks get $5 per hundred. The county clerk also receives 25 per cent of the total fees for other statis- tics which he must a-lso certify. Out of all these fees he must pay his staff of clerks and accountants. If the work by any employee of the state, city or county is not in the sec retary of state's hand by August 1, such employee forfeits 5 per cent of his compensation for each day of delaj. A failure to make returns at all is pun ish'able by a fine of $250.

Such failure includes accepting the position of clerk, enumerator or whatever it may be for work on the census and after having so agreed, refusing to serve. Appointments are left with the different county, city, village and town clerks. One of the questions which will not be asked by the census men is "What is the length of your residence?" The story is told that many people at the last national census answered this by telling how long, in foot measure, was the building used by them as a h'ome.
