A subcommittee Of three to consider
blan, scope and procedure was APP
&ointed.
The executive committee will meet to-
day for organization. the election Of Of
ffcers and the drafting Of plan upon
which to work.
The principal officers ofsthe American
Moderation OF Labor attended the clos
ing seseion of the conference and gave
the project their commentator. Sam
Nuel Gompers, president OF the American
Federation OF Labor, disavowed antago-
Enism on the part of organized labor
coward aggregations OF capital and said
hat he welcomed them industrially. He
protested. however against their alleged
Interference with the political affairs Of
she country. and notably with the ma
sional judiciary.
Frank Sargent of the Brotherhood OF
Fireman, replying to the criticism of
Charles NJ. Schwab as to organized
labor, said that unionism was not a
menace, but an instrument of peace and
good, was within the law, and was a
rong influence toward the mainte-
lnce of the republic. I'VE are taking
1 ,wn the barriers" he said, that have
setIleQ 10 separate Us. we are prlVl-
!, sged to touch elbows here and ex-
change ideas, and fell that good will
come lit. The trouble in the past has
been that we have not understood one
another. There can be no capital with
out labor and the man who does the
work and the man who manipulates the
capital should realize their dependence
upon one another. The great leader of
capital Who spoke yesterday would have
little capital to manipulate but for the
work Of THE men in the furnaces and the
mines. That is the fact that l want
ca to remember
argent said the f1remen had long
iopted the policy Of reasoning
heir employers and educating
vn men to point OF intelligence
ae rights Of both themselves and
Employers. They made no sacri-
their rights or manhood. But"
i'd. they reserved the right to
preston, to crush worng where

A THANKFUL DAY.
Lancaster Folks Feast and Give Thanks
to the GiverGof all Good Things.

Thursday was a thankful day in
Lancaster and was appropriately OBJ
served. Most places of business were
closed throughout the day and all
joined in feasting and returning
thanks to the Giver OF every good and
perfect gift. There were the usual
numb of family reunions and neigh
borhood gatherings and the day was
well spent.
Among the many other things that
one could feel thankful for was tie
beautiful weather. In fact it was al
most too warm and bright for char
acteristic. seasonable Thanksgiving
day weather, but nevertheless it was
noticeable that there was little grumb-
ling done by any one. The turkeys
tasted just as good as though the
weather had been as cold as Greenland
aud the snow four feet deep, and
withal. they were plenty, cheap and
delicious in quality.

sissippi for the purpose of locating
monuments to the memory of those
whose lives were lost at that place in
the Civil war, returned the early part
of last week. They decided upon
regimental monuments fifteen in

On his arrival from Dakota. John
Nagle took the train and fastened to
Chicago to take care of his brother
Thomas who had three fingers of
his left hand amputated as the result

In County Court.

Most OF the matters to come on for
hearing in county court Tuesday
were continued until future dates.
Among the important ones was the
probating of the will of the late j. w.
Varrell of Boscobel, objections to
which were made by Atty Ed NJ.
Lowry, counsel for some of the heirs
who are to contest the will. Messrs.
F. C. Muffiey, f. o. Spiegelberg and
w. Ii. Pittman of Boscobel, trustees
of the estate, and Atty Platt Whit
man were in attendance. The matter
was continued to Jan. 9TH.

matter of appointment of guardian
for Mrs. Elinor Bark of Lancaster.

for some time with her son, j. j J.
Bark. who has a contract to take care
of his mother the balance of her day
receiving as compensation therefor
the income from two farms which by
the will of her husband goes to her

pointment of guardian for the moth
er.

TALES OF

bits and squirrels one day last week.

proceeding though a thicket when
out jumped two nimble cottontails

tion. Mr.. Pendleton was the first to
recover from the shock. raised his
gun and fired. By chance shot he
laid low both of the fleeing bunnies
with the one discharge and the real
ization of the fact nearly overcame
him. John was like a small boy in
his delight and his first ejaculation
sounded just like the words people
use sometimes when they can't catch
fish. At any rate it was quite shock

side. who it is said put on his Sab.

will prove no small task. Some
of those who would APP ly for
positions as game wardens would be
too fat. and would not be able to
catch a cold, even, but there is res
ervoir of spinters to select from in the
athlethic young man of our high
schools, normal schools and the state
university. Nobody has just exactly
known what they were training young
men To run foot races for. There is
no position in business lie in which a
foot racer who is a college graduate
can utilize the training unless it be a
letter carrier, or to use it in catching
a car when the motorman insists on
looking the other way, A college
foot racer is the only man that could
possibly catch car under these cir
cumstances. But to take these young
graduates who can run mile in two
minutes aud jump hurdles, and make
them game wardens would be an in
spiration. They could be armed with
pot of paint, stencil and brush
along in October and turned loose in
the woods under proper management
and before the crowd of shooters were
ready to 90 to their death every deer
in the state could be marked like a
-four sack, aud there need be no furth-
er danger. AS it is now the hunter
begins to dread going after deer along
in the summer and while getting his
guns in shape encourages his wife by
telling her what to do in case he was
brought home by express in an i'm
proyised box. He leaves instructions
as co what is to be done with his per-
sonal effects and how she is to dispose
of the real estate and get in shape to
live without him. He dreams of the
carnage he is sure to encounter in the
woods. and at times he thinks it is
foolish to go deer hunting. but like
the volunteer when his country calls,
he is afraid not to go and so he buys
ticket good for live man up and a
dead man back, and after kissing his
family and crying at the sad parting,
he goes TO the woods with his life in
his hand and tries to get a JOB cooking
for the camp so he will not have to
90 out on the firing line. II he gets
up courage to go out for deer, he
drops TO the ground and covers his
face with his arms, when he hears a
cracking in the bush and if it is a
deer that makes the noise it gets
away and the hunter later finds the
tracks He is in constant fear that
some crazy fool will shoot him, but
finally he sees something move and
he shoots with an inward hope that if
it is a deer he will shoot it through
the heart and if it is a man he will
only break a leg, when he can skin
out for camp and swear he was no.

Now the deer hunting season is
over and the list of killed, wounded
and missing has been published and
the mourners over the killed have
been somewhat comforted, it IS time
to prepare for next season. The
game wardens have duty to perform
to make it safer for hunters to 20 TO
the northern woods. IL is question
if the state is not liable for damages
in case man is killed while deer
hunting. The state compels non-res-
idents to pay big license for the
privilege OF shooting deer and yet no
protection is thrown around the visl-
tor, and he goes into the jungle in
about as much danger as he would in
the most warlike territories in the
Philippines. A deer hunter cannot
throw up trenches or build a trocha,
as they did in the less dangerous war
fare in Cuba. He has got to move
around in the enemy's country, and
he who moves is in danger of getting
a mess of bullets in his vital parts,
fired by the absent minded beggaI
who does not wait to see whether The
thing he shoots at wears clothes OF
hair.
The only way that seems feasible tc
stop the slaughter of hunters is to
have the game wardens catch all the
deer and paint ring targets on their
sides, such as are used in target prac-
tice, and turn them loose. Then
make law that a man who shoots
outside the target should be disbarred
from future shooting, the same as
lawyers are disbarred from shooting
with their mouths. Make it mall
practice for man to shoot anywhere
in the woods unless he sees a target.
As no hunter will go around with ring
targets with bulls eyes in the center,
painted on his clothes, there will be
no more danger. OF course the. Sc
lection of game wardens that can
catch wild deer and paint target
