Prairie" which lies three miles north
of Warsaw and regarded as choice

ground was already cleared and a
farm could be quickly carved in the
wilderness, requiring only as it did

edly backward. A good many fami-
lies would arrive here in the SPRING
time only to return in the late fall,
having been frightened against be-
coming permanent settlers by their
experience of the fever and ague, the
biggest crop of any kind known to
this section of Indiana in the early
days, and the one crop that could al
ways be relied upon. Many of the
newcomers arrived with only suffici-
ent funds to enter an eighty, or a
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. piece of land,
leaving them but little to live upon.
This fact had depressing influence
upon many of those who came, and
quite often, if they had kept their
teams and wagons, they used these to
return to their former homes shack

vegetation, almost as many covered
wagons could be seen in the late au-

covered coming to the west to settle
the country. For many reasons that
particular period was a trying time
for Northern Indiana, as one of the
greatest hopes of those who had per-
manently located here was that the
country would fill up rapidly and
bring about situation that would
raise the price of their own land, as
well as to clear it up and make the
region one fit to live in.

Those democratic newspapers that
are fond of harping on the imagined
shortcomings Of their own country
charge, among other things, that
Uncle Sam is land greedy and they
talk about criminal aggression forci-
BILE annexation and other unpleasant
characteristics. 1t is not necessary
to say much on the subject, nor is it
necessary to go back into ancient his
tory to find REPUTATION, for the facts
of the present are sufficient to con-
found the resident maligners of the
American people. No territory near
our shores has been more greatly
desired than Cuba, but we are about
to withdraw from it voluntarily, leav-
ing it an independent government of its
own adoption; the island could be ours
for the taking. A seaport in China
is greatly needed by us and long has
been, but the opportunity to acquire
such a piece of territory has been
allowed to pass, to the establishment
of the world. San Domingo was Of
fered to us free and we reflaed it and
the Danish West Indies can be had at
allow price and we are not taking them,
though all are desirable and advan-
tageous to US. We can go into Gen.
trail or South America at any time
and add to our possessions, or we can
stir up a sentiment in Cssnada that
would result in annexation. But
those things are not in our line. Not
only do Americans regard forcible an
nexation as criminal aggression, but
we are exceedingly conservative ABOUT
voluntary annexation. These are
some of the facts TO be placed against
the democratic assertions.

THE INDIANA GAME LAWS.

The frost is on the pumpkin and
the folders in the shock, and the
SportSmen with dog and gun will soon
be abroad in this Hoosier land. There
is general furnishing up of guns, an
overhauling of paraphernalia, and gen.
eral preparation for the approaching
opening of the shooting season. The
callow youth will soon 90 forth,
formidably armed, to shoot the stray
barnyard duck, to bowl over the un-
pretending calf by mistake, and anon
take to the tall timber to escape the
wrath to come. The real sportsman
has his minds eye on visions of big
bags of toothsome birds, and his
corporal optic on the game laws.
This latter, it may be mentioned en-
PEASANT, is thing fearfully and won
derfully made. A casual peruSal of
the statute leaves the sportsman with
the impression that about the only
thing that seems lawful to do is to
blow down the gun barrel, which act,
like virtue, is supposed to bring its
own reward. The law is complicated,
and its convolutions form (. sort of
prize puzzle to the average mind.
The parts of the law which are ap-
plicable at this time of year may be
summarized as follows:
1t is unlawful to shoot quail, prai-
rie chicken or cartridges at any time
except from November 10 to January
1st.
1t is unlawful, even in season, for
any one person to kill more than twen-
ty-four quail in one day.
1t is unlawful to sell or offer for
sale, quail at any time.
1t is unlawful for any nonresident
of the StaSe to shoot any game in In
diana, without license from the clerk
of any county. Any nonresident so
licensed may take out of the state not
more than twcnty-fOur game birds Of
any kind killed in the state No 9TH
er person may take game of any kind
out of the state.
1t is lawful to kill squirrels, wild
duck and other water fowls from the
first day of October to the tenth day
of November, provided that you have
a permit from the state commissioner
of fisheries and game. This license
must be carried by the hunter, ready
to be exhibited to the commissioner or
any Of his deputies. These permits
are issued upon application, without
charge.
1t is unlawful to hunt water fowl
with any other watercraft than row
boat. Naphtha, electric and steam
launches are barred.
LII is unlawful TO Kill more than
twenty-four ducks in one day.
1t is unlawful to hunt water fowl
after dusk and before dawn.
1t is unlawful to hunt upon enclos-
ed land without the written consent of
the owner or tenant thereof.
1t is unlawful to shoot any species
of song birds.
1t is unlawful to hunt on Sunday.
1t is unlawful to hunt any kind of
game from October l to November 10.

PIONEER DAYS IN
NORTHERN INDIANA
Reub. Williams in Warsaw Times.

Reub. Williams in Warsaw Times.
All of Northern Indiana was agreat
region for the hunter of the first-set-
tier period. Deer and smaller game
were even quite numerous as late
as 1846, when the family of the writer
arrived in this county, and continued
so for several years afterwards. The
raccoon, opossum, the entire variety
of squirrels, red and black; the fox
squirrel, the ''pine" or red squirrel,
the SaucieSt and l0udest of the Squir-
rel family, and the chipmunk were all
plentiful, while there were still a
good many fur-bearing animals that
were caught and their pelts would
always bring the cash. Among these
were the racc0On, the otter, then
quite numerous along the streams;
the mink, the opossum and the musk
rat, the last two more plentiful than
all of the others, their hides being
used mostly for the manufacture of
gloves and mittens, l presume, as
their fur was rather of coarse order
as compared with the Others.
y
There was no small profit in the
killing of wild animals in early days
and the successful hunter realized
quite a sum annually by bis sale of
fu--bearing skins as well as deer-hides,
the latter being manufactured into
buckskin and had a ready sale for
this purpose. This was especially
SO, for the furs and hides always COM
manded the cash--a thing that few
articles did, as the whole country was

Prescott, June l2: The first re- ports sent out regarding the explo- sion in the United Verde mine were wildly exaggerated. Instead Of SIX or eight men being killed, it turns out that only one was killed and none others injured A miner named Arthur Ceritz was seated on nfty pound box of powder in one Of the levels of the United Verde mine en- gagged in attaching cap to a,fuse' While he had been there few min utes before the explosion, no one was near at the time, hence the cause of the explosion could not be ascertained. In some manner, however, the entire box of powder was exploded, blowing Ceritz to atoms. He had been in the employ of the company for several months.

Tobacco Notes.

Word comes from New York that
Messrs. Schroeder & Arguimbau have
sold out their entire packing of 1900 leaf
put up by Mr.. Geo. Underhill in this
state, the last 1000 cases going to the
we'll known Hilson Co., manufacturers
of fine cigars, at good stiff price. The
goods were carefully selected when pur-
chased by Mr.. Underhill and hence
found ready sale at figures that were
alike satisfactory to the firm and their
Wisconsin representative.
E. G. Hopkins passed several days of
the week looking after his farming inter
ests in the Kickapoo Valley.
Norm earle of GAINESVILLE was visitor
in this market Monday.
Mr.. George Underhill has rented the
west half of the Jensen warehouse to-
gether with the Office occupied by Henry
Johnson which he will occupy after the
beginning of the new year.
One can obtain somewhat of an idea
of the immense business of Herbs, Wer-
theim & Schiller by visit to their fac
tory any week day about noon time.
Just before the lunch hour all the great
vendors in the neighborhood congregate
in front of the factory and arrange their
wares on the sidewalk. The line extends
nearly full block on Second avenue and
we'll down Fifty fourth street. Promptly
at noon the army of employees rush out
and in few moments every peddler has
sold out clean, the enormous amount of
fruit, etc., disappearing in a twinkling.
There are about $500 employees in this
factory alone and the number of General
Arthurs, Owls and Capaduras turned
out by this industrial brigade is some
thing enormous. The demand can be
appreciated from the fact that General
Arthurs are oversold and Capaduras are
away behind in deliveries.-N. Y. Tob

Banker Joyce Arrested.

The Chicago papers of Tuesday con-
tanned the particulars of the arrest of
John FL. Joyce, former cashier of the
Dane Co. Bank at Stoughton, in that
city. The story told by the papers is
perversion of the facts to a large degree,
but Mr.. Joyce will probably have to an
swer to the charge of embezzlement. It
is reported that the big plantation deal
in Mexico, in which Joyce and Brictson
invested large amount of the banks
funds, has been sold out to California
parties and it is hardly possible that the
arrest of Joyce now is done with view
of getting settlement with the receiver.
The Dane County bank at Stoughton,
which had been fourishing institution
since 1884, failed June II, 1899 The
cashier, j. Ell. Joyce, was away from
Stoughton at the time. Bank Examiner
Kidd Immediately took charge of the af-
fairs of the bank, and after going through
the books came to the conclusion, which
he made public, that the failure was due
mainly to mismanagement and the reck-
less lending of money on the part of
Joyce. The next day Joyce was arrested
blythe sheriff on warrant sworn out by
a widow, charging him with taking a de-
post of 5000 from her and giving in ex-
change his individual note instead of a
certificate. He gave bail for his appear
ance in court June %, 1899, but had not
been heard from since then until his ar
rest in Chicago.
Aslater dispatch from Stoughton says:
Although Mr.. Joyce has not been seen
here, parties interested, it is said, have
known of his whereabouts constantly
since his departure, and could have To-
Gated him, as he has been seen repeat
eddy on the streets of Chicago, and has
consulted with citizens of this place.
The report that he was formerly worth
one million is unfounded, it is said here.
The bank failed over two years ago, and
dividend of 5214 per cent. has been
paid depositors up to this time. It is re-
ported that Henry Beattie of this place
was the instigator in the arrest, having
sworn out the warrant. Mrs. Beattie, his
aged mother, widow of Thomas Beattie.
and his sister, Mrs Maggie Atkinson,
who lost $4,000, took the iniative step.
Attorney J. M. Clancy, who has defend
ed Joyce in former bank suits, will prob
ably be employed to defend in the crimi-
nal proceedings against him. 1t is pre-
sumed that Joyce will he taken to Madi-
son as soon as requisition papers can be
had.

DEATH CLAIMED HIM AT LAST.
Harold Culton Succumbs to Disease After
Heroic Struggle.


Shortly after two o'clock Tuesday
morning Harold Culton gave up the he
roic struggle he had been making with
disease for nearly five weeks past and
peacefully passed into eternal rest. He
was stricken with scarlet fever of the
most persistent type on October 10th,
which seemed to battle all the remedies
known to medical science, and while the
first stages of the disease were fairly
kept in check, nearly every complication
that sometimes follow developed Ply
siclans prominent as specialists from
Chicago and Madison were brought here
to counsel with resident doctors, but the
united skill of these were powerless to
save the young life. All the assistance
of trained nursing or the attendance of
loving parents who were constantly at
his bedside, were alike without avail.
Through all these weeks of intense suf-
fering he exhibited patient endurance
surprising for a child of his age.
Harold Whitaker Culton, only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Culton, was born
February %, 1891. AS he grew up he
developed into lad of unusual promise,
and under competent training was be-
coming particularly proficient in music
and elocution. Possessed of bright,
happy disposition he became a favorite
with all he came in contact and so
strongly endeared in the hearts of his
parents that the separation now becomes
so hard to bear. 1t can be truly said
that the heart broken parents have
what consolation the universal sympathy
of the entire community affords. I'M
pressive funeral services were held from
the home of G. r. Bentley Thursday af-
ternoon at 2:30 p. NJ, conducted by Rev.
E. L. Moore and the mortal remains
were tenderly laid at rest in Fassett
cemetery.

DEATH OF JOHN A. JOHNSON.
Prominent Madison Manufacturer.

John A. johnson, president of the
Fuller u johnson company and the Gis-
holt Machine company, the two princi-
pal manufacturing concerns of Madison,
died at his home there Monday, at the
age of 68 years, after suffering since last
June of cancer of the stomach. AS it
had been realized for ten days that he
could not recover, his death was not un-
expected and all the members of the
family, consisting of Mrs. johnson, the
daughter and four sols, were at the bed
side when the end came. For years Mr..
johnson had suffered with stomach
trouble but not until last June was his
condition considered extremely serious
Then he went to Rochester, Mimi, where
DR.. Mayo performed an operation, but
as the patients constitution was not
strong enough to stand up under the
strain and bring him back to health. he
continued to fail until ten days ago,
when it became a certainty that he
could not recover.
Mr.. johnson was one of the wealthiest
men of Madison and Was one of the most
prominent Norwegians in the northwest.
He has travelled widely and was deeply
interested in thescommercial and indus
trial politics of the country. He was at
one time president of the National I'm
pliment and Vehicle association and also
served npon the industrial commission
sent to Central and South Africa several
years ago to study and encourage trade
relations between countries there and the
United States. He was born in Norway
and came to this country when he was
young man.

Ackerman's Smoke Mask.

After several months of experimenting,
Mr.. G. FL. Alderman has evolved an in
vention that will supply a long needed
apparatus to assist firemen in entering
ke-flled buildings in extinguishing
fires. Mr.. Ackerman's invention is a
closely fitting mask to be placed about
the head, that is supplied with COM
pressed air furnished from a tank strap
ped upon the back of the operator. The
hood is made of fine wire and asbestos
and non-combustible fitted with win
dow of mica to permit light, and whis-
tie at the mouth from which signals can
be given. The air chan. Der will carry
sufficient pure air under pressure to
supply the operator at least half hour
The whole apparatus is light and does
not interfere with person going into
any part of a burning building. The
inventor, who has been manufacturing
and selling hand fire extinguishers in
this city for the past year, believes his
new device will commend itself to the
fire departments throughout the country
wherever it is introduced, and is conf
dent will meet with ready sale. Pat
ents will be taken out Immediately to
fully protect the invention.
