A STARTLING INTERVIEW.
A Prominent Business Man Talks on Big
Public Questions.


A reporter for this paper in making
his usual rounds ran across a prominent
business man whom he thought it
would be to the live interest of his
readers to interview on stirring public
questions. He was asked for his
opinion concerning some of them. Here
is about the result:
What do you think of this paving
problem now being discussed?"
"Paving is good thing. But that
is matter which will not effect my
street this fall, so have not paid any
attention to it,"
"Well, you favor paving all the
streets possible, don't you?o
~ don't know. | havn't thought
much about it.
Are you a member of the Business
Mems association 2"
eyes"
"Then, what do you think about
taking some action at once TO see if
something cannot be done to save these
two factories which are preparing to
leave us?"
Really, if two factories are consider
ing going away have not heard what
they want, and am, therefore unable
to talk Oh that subject
"Surely, the subject of public Ii
brary has been under discussion long
enough. You can say something of
interest on that score"
"That is not for me to discuss. |
have library of my own and would
not be without one. Those who are
not so situated may want one. If they
do let them get together and decide to
have enc. | have no objection to
offer"
And thus the reporter might have
gone on 0d dnfpitatna asking similar
questions and getting very similar re-
plies. Such an interview may not be
an entirely representative one, but it is
very fairly representative of a large
class of the people who ought to take
the liveliest interest in the welfare of
the city; men who ought to devote a
little time and thought to the other
things in the community which would
lead up to the better trade and greater
beauty Of the city. One cannot shut
himself up in his Office OF store and
merely use such methods of increasing
his business as are readily at hand,
strictly within the town in which he
lives. His business then invariably
reaches a limit beyond which it cannot
go. Live, earnest efforts toward the
building up of the town; rendering it
more attractive and inviting to other
industries, is the only avenue to great
er business. That is an argument
which places the matter in purely q
cold, sordid, cash light. There are a
thousand and one other considerations
which should enter into the inducement
to greater public spirit.
A town cannot be considered live and
up to date if it does not act at once
upon such all-important subjects as
these upon which this man protested
such utter lack of information and in
terest. Think of these matters short
time, then do something DO some
thing !! DO SOMETHING -!

and that seemed to weigh most heavily

It was believed that in the interim
between his sending for the reporter
and his arrival one of the other men
had practically closed his mouth. He
stated that no matter what was said he
would not say word which would i'm
plicate in the slightest degree any other
person, and it might have been feared
that If he did make a statement he
would necessarily drag some one else
in. s1e had started on the statement
and Sheriff Cropley saw Perren write
something on a slip of paper and pass it
to Bloch. The work OH the statement
stopped and it was never shown any
body, but Monday morning was thrust by
Bloch into the fire and burned up.
is practically certain that Perren
left a statement here. Attorney Cav
anagh and he with MIR. Cavanagh's
stenographer went into private room
at the jail during the afternoon. 1t is
believed that this was the purpose, but
there is no means at present of know
ing whether statement was made or
not. If one was made it is evidently
not for publication, since the reporter
was refused all information concerning
it,
Does He Suffer for others?
There may have been something in
the statement made by Perren's attOr
ney at the time sentence was passed
upon when he said Perren was suffer-
ing for others. Mrs. Perren told
Sheriff Cropley that before the trial
jacobson went to Perren and got on his
knees to him begging him not to di-
vulge his connection with this affair
and offering him money or any thing
else he want if he would keep his
mouth closed. 1t lis very apparent that
Perren did as he was requested, if such
request was made.
Seems Far Fetched.
One of the Chicago morning papers
says that the verdict and sentence in
the arson case was not generally ap-
proved here. Nothing could be much
further from truth. About the only
regret heard anywhere is that one of
the most guilty men should have es-
capped. Up to date that seems to be
the only thing not approved.

WE'RE MARRIED HERE.
A Young Jewess and Gentle Cause
Parental Storm in Chicago

On the Grant honse register stands
the short and simple legend, +" Charles
L. Shaw and wife, Chicago" placed
there last Sunday night, or more prop
erly speaking, very early Monday
morning. Behind that short legend
there appears TO have been a story.
1t seems that Mrs. Shaw was a
Miss Regina Moses, daughter of Rabbi
and Mrs. Isaac S. Moses, of Chicago,
and she had just become Mrs. Shaw by
reason of a few mystic words pro-
nOunced a few moments before by the
Rev. G. Ell. Rogers.
1t was a runaway match, and as the
bride is a Jewess and the bridegroom
Gentle, it has raised perfect storm
under the parental roof of the bride.
Shaw was a bookkeeper and had met
Miss Moses some two years ago and
the Moses family strenuously objected
not a member of the Hebrew faith.
Last January the girl became of age,
and when she preached the matter of
marrying Shaw the objections became
still stronger, so finding the marriage
impossible in Chicago they came here
where all barriers were very low.
When the marriage was announced to
the father of the bride, the. storm be-
came very severe and reached the ears
of the newspaper reporters, and as a
consequence the affair, has been all
written up down there.

No Statements Left Behind.

1t had been hoped by the public that
some of the convicted men would leave
some statement. But they didn't, not
Withstanding the fact that Barney
Bloch sent to this office a request that
a reporter be sent to him to take one.
Saturday night he sent a messenger to
this Office to say that he was very anX-
ious to set himself right before the pub
lie here before he went away. The re-
porter called in the afternoon of Sunday
and found him in the company Of his
mother, brother and quite large cir
Gle of friends. He was asked for his
statement, and at first he said be had
started on one and would write it all
out himself as soon as he could get an
opportunity to do so. 1t was apparent,
however, that he was not as anxious to
do so as he had been Saturday. His
friends urged that there was greatsym-
pathy for him in the community and a
statement made in an unprecedented,
unbiased manner, would have great
weight in case an attempt was ever
made to get him pardoned out. He
seemed to look at this point very dis
,parageingly. He remarked that his name
his honor, his money and everything
was gone; he had nothing more to lose
and nothing to gain. So far as he was
concerned his sentence might just as
well have been twenty years as eight
His hopes were forever blasted so long
as the verdict of the jury remained as
it was. He was guilty, the jury said,

NO STATEMENT LEFT.
NEITHER OF THE CONVICTED MEN
LEAVES WORD TO THE PUBLIC.
TAKEN TO wAUPuN MONDAY.
Mrs Robinson With Six of Her Children
Creates a Scene at the Jail.-Bloch
Starts a statement But Drops
It.-Jacobsons Request.

The three men convicted of the
charge of conspiracy and arson in con-
nection with the burning of the Chicago
Bedding company plant, were taken
from here on the 4:10 a. N. train bound
for the state prison. The convicted
men, Perren, Bloch and Robinson,
were in charge of Under Sheriff Mich
ael Harkins, C. Fl. Gonnermann, Jacob
Ludwig and William Cropley. When
all got to the train it was found that
tireless sleuth, F. G.. Gowie, was
there also. He took the same train
with the party. What he went for is
not known. The party got off on this
early train so as to avoid undue pub
licity and to spare the men and officers
any more scenes.
Sunday was very busy day for
Perren and Bloch, and the afternoon
engaged Robinson as well. The two
first were thronged with visitors all
day. In the afternoon Mrs. Robinson
came up from Chicago with six of her
nine children and took up few hours
of time in scene with her husband,
which would we'll nigh badger de-
scription. She did not seem to be
visibly affected by her meeting with
her husband, nor did the children, out
side of the boy who had testified in the
trial. Soon after seeing him she an
nounced to Under-Sheriff Harkins that
she was going to leave with her hus-
band on the same train. Mr.. Harkins
reported the matter to Sheriff Cropley.
That gentleman enquired where she
was going. She said she was going to
stop off at Milwaukee and see Mr..
Quarles.
What can Mr.. Quarles do for you?"
the sheriff inquired.
"He promised my husband that if he
would squeal he would go Free" she
replied. Now, he has heen sentenced
and am going to him to tell him he
will have to help me support my child
rem. and if he don't I am going to leave
them there where he will have to take
care of them. =
But neither Mr.. Quarles nor Mr..
Buckmaster made amy such promises, !"
remarked the sheriff.
My husband just said they did. !"
But I know they diu not"
Then, will you say so before my
husband in my hearing?"
Most certainly. Robinson come
out here a moment"
When the prisoner appeared Mr.
Cropley remarked, "Now, Robinson,
neither Mr.. Quarles nor Mr.. Buckmas-
ter promised you any immunity if you
squealed. Why did you tell that to
your wife. ("
No, did not say they did," re-
piled the convict.
oh, you lied to me you lied to me !!
you know you did" the woman put in
most irately Then if they didn't
you got just what you deserved. l
wish you had got ten years. You are
nothing but a squealer, and you ought
to have got more. You lied to me-"
And thus continuing she followed her
husband back to his cell and continued
her little speech. her voice raised to q
high key. She continued the TRADE
for about an hour more and made one
of the most effectual call downs her
husband probably ever got.

after getting a little tangiefOOt, started

After proceeding a short distance, and
when near the railroad track, John VII

air. Then he fired again, this time the
ball entering Perry's head, just above
one ear, and passing through the head.
The two remaining men walked on a
short distance, WheTf suddenly IL ap-
peared that John Wilson discovered the
third man was not with them, and his
other companion said: You have killed
Perry" Wilson Immediately ran of.
Search was instituted at night, but he
was not 10 be found. Sunday passed,
and IL began to be discussed. The pre-
vailing idea was that the man killed was
shot accidentally. Wilson surrendered
himself. He was confined in jail to await
the action of the grand jury. 1t has be-
come current that Perry married a WO-
man some eight miles northeast from this
place some year or two since. and that
Wilson induced the woman to come to
town with him about a month since.
Perry came over very soon in search
OF his vile, and with the exception Of a
threat by Perry, that he intended TO set
tie with Wilson, nothing more was heard
of the difficulty. II is surmised that Will

and killed Perry on account OF the wO-

Facts About Population.

According to Gannett's book, "The
Building of Nation," we had $780,
aI4 people in 1890, and in 1890 we
had 6a,622,a5o. We have doubled
our population in the past thirty years,
while France has increased 3 per cent
and Great Britain and Ireland 20 per
cent. Maine and Vermont are not
increasing, and Nevada is decreasing.
In 1890 Virginia was the most popu.
lous state in the union, with Pennsyl-
vania second. In 1870 New York
reached the second place, and in 1870
the first place, Virginia then being
second. In 1880 Pennsylvania got
the second place and still holds it. In
1890 the third place was held by
North Carolina, but between 1870
and 1880 Ohio held it, and in 1890
Illinois secured it.
In 1890 we had only six cities of
over 5000 population each. Our
urban population then was 13I,47a,
and the rural, 3,7o774a. In 1890
we had 445 cities of over 5000 popu-
lation each, and twenty eight Of them
had population of over 100, 900
each. We have eleven cities of over
2oo, 900 population each. Our urban
population has jumped up to S,aS4,-
3S5, while the rural population is A.
337S65. The north Atlantic states
contain the greatest proportion of the
urban element. Within a radius of
fifteen miles of the New York city
hall may be found 3,25o,ooo people.
The average size of families has di-
minished from $50 persons in 1850
to 4o5 in 1890, over II per cent.
The highest average is In the southern
states. The males at the last census
numbered 81, 1907, $50, and the females
5o,55457o. Despite our civil war,
the males have increased more than
the females for the past forty years.
In Europe it is different. There the
females outnumber the males.

Proper Use Of a Shot Gun.

A good sportsman is familiar with
his piece, and brave enough to be
afraid of it, From the time he takes
it out of the case the muzzle of the
barrels is on his mind until he has
taken it to pieces, cleaned it, and put
it away IN its case. When he starts
out in the morning, he takes out the
barrels, and pointing them toward the
earth as he holds them in his left hand,
he springs the stock into its place with
his right. Then having fixed on the
little piece Of wood which clinches
the two parts together, he passes his
right arm around the barrels, so that
as he carries it the stock points up and
behind him at an angle of about forty
five degrees, and the barrels point
down towards the earth at similar
angle in front of him. Around his
waist or in his pockets he carries
cartridges. No charge goes into his
gun until he has not only left the
house but actually arrived on the
GROUNDS Wnere ne expects TO IND game.
If he has to drive to the proper woods
or the shooting stands or blinds, he
places the piece in the bottom of the
wagon, pointing out towards the rear,
never once allowing it to point to-
wards himself or any one else who
may be standing by. If he is near
enough to the woods or shore to walk
he carries the gun as described, I'M
loaded, until he reaches the proper
place. When climbing over fences,
whether with cartridges in place or
not, he places the gun under the fence
flat on the ground, climbs over or
under, and then picks it up from the
other side. Resting a shooting piece
against fence or wall in an upright
position shows the greenhorn or the
careless and therefore poor sportsman.
