scenery used with Down in Dixie is
some of the best work that ever came
from the brush of an artist. The play
deals with the romantic love affair Of 1
brave Southern girl of humble position.
She saves her lovers life and also the life
of a young naval officer who is placed

LAMONT'S FAINT HOPE.
The Noted Life Convict Liable to
End His Days in
Prison.

West Superior, Wis. Oct. 22-[Spe-
ial.l-It is very probable that there will
never be a hearing upon the motion
made before Judge Vinje of the circuit
court for this county for new trial in
the case of the state against Henry La
mont. The practical abandonment of
the famous criminal by his attorneys
means that Lamont will spend the bal
ance of his days within the walls of
Wanpun, without hope of pardon. Lack
of money with which to conduct the ap-
peal to the Supreme court upon q writ
of error is responsible for the situation.
Lamont frequently writes to his attor-
neys here. Loud & Loud, pleading for
them to do something in his behalf and
it is stated that were they able to find
the old MackinaW Woodsman's jacket,
once the property Of Lamont, they would
go ahead with the proceedings and stand
a possible chance of getting the convicted
murderer out. Although there was an
order made by the court for a transcript
of the evidence in the case. to be given
to the attorneys for the defense on which
to base their cain of "error," it has
never been furnished. The time for the
taking of an appeal expires next spring,
one year from the date of sentence. and
the Indications are that the old case will
never be revived.

ovae, hunters are. going. to make the most
of the time left. They are arriving here
in large numbers irons all points in the
southern part of this, state. The usu-
al delegations from. other states will, ar
rive as soon as the decision of the Su-
prkzne court is knoWn. Deer have. not
been so Plentiful for tire past ten years.
Recently dogs chased deer and ID ran
along the public street of the village,
Nc one attempted to- shoot it, because
it was previous to, the decision of the
Supreme court and there were also two
game wardans watching diligently for
violations. j. E. Drendel, a neWly-ap-
pointed deputy game warden for Oconto
county, brought in a prisoner en- route
for the county seat the day after the
game law OF 1895 was declared invalid.
He mad a sure case against the prisoner.
He was sadly disappointed, however, be-
cause upon his arrival he was compelled
to release his prisoner, as the fact that
he had venison In his possession was
not criminal offease at the time of ar
rest.
The light snowfall is welcomed by
hunters, IS it enables them to track
wounded deer readily.

Sheboygan, Wis, Oct. 24.-[Special. /
The diphtheria epidemic is now under

has cen taxed to his utmost strength TO
bring about this result and he has sue

fatal effect in weakening the ability to
combat disease Dr. Block went upon
this theory in refusing all information
and by so doing did quiet to o large de-
gree the infamed condition of the peo-

he and Mr.. Heller argued that a ma jor-

they would be less liable to come i'll CON

Reform to be Introduced by Ladies'
at Public Meetings in

Appleton, Wis, Oct. 24.-[Special.1 J.
The high hat at public entertainments
IN Appleton must go. In fact 1T will
go tonight and probably will never re-
appear at entertainments patronized by
the best class of Appleton people. The
fashion of bare heads for ladies at en-
tertainments will be set this evening
at the lecture or 'Traits of Scottish
Character" given by Ian MacLaren" at
the Congregational church under the aus
pieces of the Young Mems Sunday Even
ing club, and is expected to prove so
popular, even with the ladies themselves.
that the big-hat abomination will never
again provoke bad temper and lurid re-
marks on the part of the male popula-
ton. This great, impending reform
comes about in this way: In view of
the immense crowd expected at DR.. Wat
sons lecture, the managers have issued
a formal request to the ladies that all
attending the entertainment remove their
hats to the end that persons in the rear
part OF the auditorium and in the Sunday
schOolroOm may be able to see as we'll
as hear the distinguished speaker and
author of Beside the Bonnie Briar
Bush" The ladies as n rule have al
ready signified their intention to accede
to this reasonable request, and a woman
with a covered head in tonight's audience
will doubtless be SO unpleasantly con-
spicUOuS to destroy all her pleasure in the
millinery triumph she wears on her OBJ
stinate little pate. even though it bear
the hallmark of Virot. SO great is ex-
pected TO be the wave of male gratitude
which will surge about the fair ones as a
result of this concession on their part,
that it seems impossible that they can
ever forfeit it by returning to the error
of their former profanity producing
ways. Appleton is decidedly upon the
eve of a social revolution. And tonight

MEANS MUCH FOR SUPERIOR.
Omaha Railway an Active Competitor
for Grain Business.

for Grain Business.
West Superior, Wis, Oct 22.-[Spe-
cial. lit is given out that the Omaha
railroad is about to enter the field at the
head of the lake as an active competitor
for the grain handling business and if it
is successful much of the Iowa grain
which goes now through the elevators at
Chicago for lake shipmeBt will be divert
ed to this point. Up to this time the
Omaha has not been a very heavy factor
in the wheat business, its traffic consist
ing more of fax and other grains FROM
South Dakota and Iowa points. During
the recent inspection war, however, when
Wisconsin inspection was IN effect, the
Omaha had the advantage OF being able
to supply the mills of this city with Iowa
wheat when they could not get their
usual supply from Minnesota and Dakota
elevators. The traffic was remuner-
alive that the road has decided to make
a play for further business. Nineteen
additional crews have been placed on this
division to landEIe the traffic and the big
transfer Yards at Itasca are used for
sorting for the different elevators and
mills, the inspecting being dove as the
grain goes into the houses. This de-
parture IN the grain business means con-
siderble to this city in the future. Ii
much of the grains trade is diverted to the
head of tie lake additional elevators and
facilities will have tO be secured TO care
for it. Tee Omaha IS doing an anmense
head of the lake general business this
year. Its storage yards are Gull the
greater part of the time and coal is a big
litem. At the present time there is a
rush of -four from Minneapolis, 7Ehich is
merchandise dock on Allouez bay, the
jam being now due to the effort of ship
pers to get as much -four as possible east
before the close of navigation.
