Appear Against Swanson.
Oconto, Wis, Nov. 13.-[SpeciaL]-
August Pohl, principal witness in the
case of the state against Albert Swan
son, who is to be tried on charge of
murder at this term of circuit court, was
found dead in the house of friend with
whom he was stopping in the town of
How, he having committed suicide by
hanging. 1t is alleged that Pohl and a
companion hired Swanson to kill Adam
Lescheck last April and it is supposed
he feared that should he appear in court
Swanson, might divulge their relation
ship in the affair. The fact that Annie
Peterson, also an important witness in
the case, was yesterday taken into Gus
tody at Green Bay and remanded to iail
to ensure her presence at the trial, may
have had something to do with PohPs
decision to take his life. 1t is claimed
that swanson confessed to the woman,
who in turn is said to have told the
story to another man.

treasurer, and an active member of the
party; L. D. Mowry, retiring county

is popular man; Jacob Dehos, past

SCISSOR and a popular politician among
the German element, and w. +. Wash

other representatives from the northern
end of the county who are making an
open fight against it.

"East Enders" at Superior Work a Clever
Trick.


West Superior, Wis, Nov. 12.-lSpe-
cial. 1.-The county board this afternoon
took action which, it is alleged, prac-
tically ties up the county seat at the
east end for five years or more. When
the board met resolution was intro
duced authorizing the expenditure of
ing. 1t was explained that the law re-
auired $4,000 to be expended before the
county seat had to remain where it was
for five years and the resolution passed.
The eyes of the West Superior members
were shortly afterwards opened by the
fact that the $500 improvements to the
county jail now in progress makes the
necessary $4,000 which the east enders
have been working SO long to plaster
on, and efforts at removal are probably
knocked out The board adopted the
report of committee against a division

returns from each long flight with no
olive branch to prove her search success
full. The first great discovery of modern
times Is the vast extension of the uni
verse In space. 1t was a strangs, crude
thought that held the mind of long ago.
Science has taken away the God OF ,na
old economy. 1t has changed -,fr con-
ception of God for a more c.<fendad and
distended man to al. tnefYable power
that fills. inspires a-.,d sustains all things.
me second sreat discovery of modern
times IS re expansion Of the universe
IN LINZ 1t Is but yesterday that we were
ioor-ing askance at the man who dared
20 reckon the birthdays of the world by
the million. The scabs of an ancient lit
era!ism filmed our eyes. and we held
with tenacity of perverseness to a
starting point some 5000 years back
when the Creator spake and the elements
leaped together; the seas and the air
grew black with moving things. and
tfe beast of the field shook himself free
from the lettering fold. The seekers af-
ter the thread of natures story have
found strange truth written in her secret
diary. The naturalist and the geologist
brought their treasures to the lap OF
knowledge, and the chest of years was
far too small to receive them. Yet in
spite of all our reasoning and conviction
that the discoveries of modern science
are true, we find 1t hard
to think of him in terms
of person rather than Of power. God is
so great we are so little. We seemed
to have lost our Ntther in finding our
creator. 1t is with q strange sense Of
terror that we move out along the IL
limitable line she has opened before iis.
The very grandeur Of the scab confuses
us. The new revelations refuse to re-.
spond to our old definitions. It is Il
slow process to adjust old faiths to new
facts. Every excursion into new fields
of investigation is watched timorously
by multitudes of us, with a sort Of awful
fear lest these scouts Of discovery should
