Il Populist barbecue at Cheatham,

which Green he was, we only

made in his address he must have
thought everyone else quite Green.
We do not wish TO leave anyone

accident, due to someone's carelessness.
will prove warning to others never to
attempt to make a railway crossing
without hrst insuring yourself that no
train is approaching from either way.
The freight train continued up the
line after the accident, but it seemed to
be on a run of destruction for from the
Wausau Pilot-Re~ew we clipped the
following:
"The same train, while in Wausau,
nearly caused the death of two more
persons Mrs. Herman Sternberg and
daughter Annie were on their way
home at five O'Clock in the afternoon.
Mrs. Sternberg was driving the horses
and as the ST. Paul crossing was reached
between the freight and old depot, she
did not notice box car slowly moving
south towards the caboose that had just
cleared the road, (the freight had
finished switching and was backing up
to couple onto the caboose) the fore part
of the sleigh got across the track but
the rear end was caught which caused
the load of -four that was on to get piled
up and broken open. A large kerosene
can was also broken which spoiled the
flour. Mrs. Sternberg complained of
her ankle being somewhat lame, a
result of the accident. It was lucky
escape for both Mrs. and Miss Sternberg
for If the train had been moving very
fast both might have been killed."

Advice For the Girls.

A writer in the Sunday Sentinel has
this precaution to offer to the women.
It is a sensible one and ought to be
needed;
Women cannot be too cautious in the
use of face lotions or powders. Recent
chemical analysis of hair dyes and cos
metics show an appalling lack Of con-
science in their ingredients. Out of
many samples examined at official
laboratories, not one was free from lead.
OF thirteen samples OF face lotions, ten
were found to contain corrosive subli-
mate. Harmless lotions were merely
soap, borax, citric acid, calomel, alcohol,
and water. 1t is wisdom on the part OF
any woman to ignore all so-caIIed skin
rejuvenators, and cling to natures
free gifts OF water, sun, and fresh air,
with perhaps slight massage every
night.

Death of Frederick Ross.

Occurred at the home of his son.
Walter D. Ross, in the town of Saratoga,
Monday November Goth, of stomach
trouble. He was confined to the house
for five months and suffered great
deal. He leaves four sons and two
daughters to mourn the loss of loving
fathe--Messrs. Herman, Will, Frank
and Walter Ross, Mrs. Amelia Ham
mond and Mrs Emma Becker. They
were all present with their father when
he died except Emma who was pre-
vented from coming on account of
illness.
Mr.. Ross was born in Germany in
March 1928. Came to this country in
1851 when he was % years of age. Was
a member of Company c. 52nd Regi
ment Wis, Volunteer infantry. A man
highly respected by all those who
enjoyed his acquaintance.

Women Turned the Scale.

Women have been potent political
factors at the late election in five States.
In Colorado, Wyoming, Kentucky,
Illinois and New York they have turned
the scale for good government. Yet in
Kansas and New York woman suffrage
has just been defeated, in part, by
Republican votes. Of woman, in this
election, it may be said, as was said of
her great Exemplar, "She saved others;
herself she could not save" But
parties, like individuals, in the long run
become aware of their own interests.
Women are the predestined saviors of
free institutions, and society for its own
protection will soon arm them with the
ballot.

The sentencing of Ooxey and Browne
to twenty days imprisonment in the Dis
trict OF Columbia Jail for trying to exer-
else their undoubted right to appear on
the square before the east front OF the

WRONG GIRL ARRESTED.
A Serious Mistake Made II Reports AR,

A Serious Mistake Made II Reports Are
True.
| Last Saturday evening Officer Mersch
arrested young woman, tine daughter
of respectable parents residing at Beau
mont. and locked her up on charge of
vagrancy. The warrant did not give
the true name OF the woman wanted,
but the officer was sure he was arresting
the right person.
When asked at the station for her
name che refused to give it, and finally
gave different nance, neither of which
was correct. She remained in prison
until Sunday afternoon at O'Clock.
At this hour a gentleman residing on
Commercial street reported at the sta
ton that his sister-in-lsw, who had
been temporarily residing with him had
disappeared, and that no trace Of her
had been found since early Saturday
evening. lie wrote a description of the
young lady which, upon being read by
the clerk, clearly proved that the per-
son arrested the night before by Officer
Mersch was none other than the one for
whom the gentleman was looking.
Upon being questioned again by the
clerk, the young woman admitted that
| uoT uhulo Whh AnnlC 1lhh anu thab baC
resided with her brother-in-law ON Com
merclal street. She refused to tell why
she would not give her name when first
arrested. She was released, however, as
it wac almost certain that she was not
the person whom the warrant called for.
When the case was called in the police
court, Officer Mersch said he thought a
deputy constable had sworn to the Com
plant. The deputy constable denied it.
Then Mersch said he could make a case
against the girl anyhow, as he had seen
her running around the street on sew
eral occasions. He stuck to the belle I
that she was the person wanted. but she
was released again. The officer is re-
ceiving severe criticism for his action,
| for there are those who believe that the
young woman has been very wrongfully
| dealt with.
The father of the young lady is inves-
| tigating the matter.

THE SALE TO Be FORCED
What Remains Must Be Gotten
Rid Of With All Speed.
Where Goods for the Next Few Days May
Be Bought for Sumo That Would
Appear Absurd in Prlnt-
Stock Turned Over to

Accentusting the staten emit made in this
jewelry store of 81. German woull only last
few days more, we now have to announce that
Mr.. German has turnet over his entire estab-
lishmemt to an experienced and able auction
eeI q. E Dawson oi Chicago, who is known all
over the United States, and who will force
gales with a view of clearing away all goods as
rapidly as possible. Mr.. Dawson l. a thorough
business man and OF the type known a.
"rusher." Wth him goods must move, and it
can be expected that literally. as stated, the
stock now remaining in Mr. Germans store
will stay there only few days more, when
every article will have been so d.
What does this mean? 1t means that even
less than the small regards heretofore paid to
pri cs must be now entertained. The goods
must go for Whatever they will bring. The
sales hereafter will be forced sales. Mr.. Daw-
son, remember. is an auctioneer, and those at
tending the sales hereafter will observe with
what spirit the goods are made to move. The
stock is yet valuable and important There are
a variety to select from. There are
some fine diamonds, some handsome ladies'
ana gentlemen's watches, come beautiful and
artistic jewelry, many rare and val liable gems
and precious stones, much costly plate and
serviceware-in fact there is yet enough of the
great stock left TO start iewelry store of re-

THERE is no reason why the senate Of
the United States should not get down
to real, honest work on the tariff, and
complete it by the end of the current
month. 1t is OF course easy to talk for
ever. The interminable debate on silver
in the special session showed the posi-
bilities in the line of loquscity. Some
of the senators have evidently been
fred with ambition by the success of
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, who admit
teddy broke the record, and whose stem
torisn effort secured him the title OF
"Lesther-Luugs." Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, is one
of Senator Aliens imitstors. He STATED
a tariff speech about the middle of April
and he ia hammering away at it yet.
Every senator who shows a disposition
to protract debate on the tariff issue
will go on the peoples black book, and
he will find himself consigned to the
limbo OF things lost upon earth as far
as politics are concerned.

WITHOUT any exAggeration, it is be-
coming downright wonder that people
continue to live in the east who can get
away. What with floods and cyclones
life there is not only uncomfortable but
perilous in the extreme. When to all is
added the excessive heat and cold, the
electrical outbursts and general demon
aliZstion of nervous tissue, the region
east OF the Rocky mountains is rapidly
losing all the attractiveness it formerly
possessed as place of residence. In
those portions OF the east where natural
gas has been most abundant the cleo
trical storms have become positively
terrifying, and Southern California owes
to this cause alone many of her inhsb-
itants. A section which is free from
sunstrokes and cyclones, where hydro
phobia is unknown, and where nature
always appears in an equable mood, pre-
sents attractions to strangers that will
become stronger every day.

encouraging to cur people, for the buai
