Sheriff Mizener Gets Two Men.

Last Wednesday Sheriff Mizener
took into custody Charles Klemme
who lives south of Waukon, at La
Crosse, who was arrested on the
charge of selling mortgaged property.
Some time ago he mortgaged a team,
harness and buggy to Charles Bar
thell. of Wa1kon. Later he sold
them, one of the horses being pur-
chased by Martin Solheim, living
south of Decorah. He was brought to
Decorah and arraigned before Justice
Barthell, who bound him over to the
grand jury, with bail fixed at $500.
Inasmuch as he has since paid the
amount of the mortgage and thus ad-
justed the grievance the matter may
not come to trial.
Sheriff Mizener also secured John
Riley last week, whom it will be re-
membered year or SO ago with s.
Moore killed horse by misuse. They
were both sentenced to twenty days
in Jail and Moore served his time,
but Riley skipped his bail and there
has since been bench warrant out for
him. Last week he returned to De.
corah, and was at once taken into
custody by the sheriff.

CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. N. B. 0usIey Surprised on
the Fiftieth Anniversary of their
Marriage.

Fifty years ago last Wednesday,
August 13, 1852, the vows were made
which united for life two of our we'll
known citizens, Mr.. and Mrs M. b.
Ousley. Through all these years, a
half century, they have lived together,
sharing alike in their journey through
life's pathway the joys and sorrows.
the pleasures and tribulations, the
successes and failures of life, which
are the lot of all They have contri-
buted their portion of energy and labor
to the upbuilding of.the county which
has been their home for many years,
and happy in the consciousness Of a
life we'll spent, in health and peace
are quietly journeying toward the
goal to which all must eventually
come.
Last Wednesday evening, in order
that the event might be fittingly OBJ
served, a large company OF friends
and neighbors assembled at the resi-
dence OF A. J. Francisco, and going
over to their home in a body, surpris-
ed them. The evening was very pleas
antly spent in congratulating the aged
couple and in conversation; refresh
ments were served, and in an appro-
pirate speech Atty. NJ. A. Harmon on
behalf of the guests presented them
with $35. 90 in gold, as reminder OF
the occasion. Mr.. Ousley responded
briefly, and after very pleasant even
ing the company dispersed.

The Boys In Green"

From the first of next year the
"boys in blue' will be but a memory.
The spirit of change is in the air
Our hallowed institutions are in
the grasp of the demon of iconoclasm,
and everywhere the spirit of the
twentieth century is seen. The army
is the last to yield to the demand
for a change, and the "boys in blue"
are to become the "boys in green"
with the new year.
The United Safes army, from gene
raj to the lowest grade of enlisted
men, must be newly uniformed by
January /, 1902. in accordance with
regulations just prescribed by gene
raj board, which makes important
changes in the color and cut of the
clothes worn by the service since
the early years of its organization.
The famous dark blue is to be dis
placed in service dress for all officers
and men by an olive green woolen
uniform, with hat to match and leg
gins nearly approaching that color.
Olive green is not regarded as q
pretty color for soldiers by the board,
but it is claimed to be one of the best
for concealing their presence at long
distances The cadet gray of the West
Pointers was found to turn black at
distance of 1000 yards, and to be east
ly seen at greater distance. Red
was not good color and olive green,
the least aesthetic of all colors tried
by the board, was adopted as the STAN
dard color of the soldier when he is
in the field.
The State National Guard associa-
tion must also adopt olive green for
the fatigue or everyday uniform and
soon the blue will pass from army
use, except for dress purposes and on
state occasions for officers and men.
Khaki will be the material for the
soldiers in the tropics and in summer
time while the material for winter
wear will be of heavy woolen goods
The new uniform prescribed is more
for business purposes than show, al
though for some there will be no
lack of trimmings and gold lace, es-
pecially for the higher ranking
officers.

1902 a Record Breaker.

Unless providence interferes, 1902
will be a record breaker for all kinds
of crops, and see the largest harvest
OF cereals ever gathered in this or any
other country. The prognosticators of
the big railroads, who have informa-
tion from their agents in all direc-
tions, and keep their ears very close
to background, estimate the value Of
the crop of breadstuffs alone at two
billions of dollars. Two thousand
millions of dollars added to the
wealth of the world, in a single sea-
son, in single country, poured into
the pockets of the farmers, as only a
part of their wages for the year, be-
cause many other valuable crops be-
sides corn, wheat, rye and barley are
vet to be counted. What would
Joseph, the agricultural minister of
the Pharaohs, have said if Stuyvesant
Fish had taken him such an estimate
of the crops of the Egyptians? What
chapter in history tells of so great a
reward for human labor? What ma
tion ever before produced so much
food? The output of the gold mines
of America for the year is worth only
$50, 600, 600 and the silver mines only
81, 900, 600, which seems Insignificant
beside the figures have given.
The exports this year will be CORES
pondingly large, for we cannot posi-
bly, eat q, 900, 600, 900 worth of bread
ourselves. They fell off little last
year, because the corn and cotton
crops was short. Prices are likely to
be little lower, too, because of the
great abundance, for they will obey
the inexorable law Of supply and de-
mand, but the farmers of the United
States are in such good condition fin.
ancially that they can hold theiI
crops for better terms if they like.
They are not compelled to sell as they
were four and FIVE years ago. VIM.

into the presidency as he did, by rea-
son of the cruel assassin of his illus
trious and beloved predecessor, when
so many grave questions were before
the people for settlement, his position
has been exceptionally hard to fill.

has won place in the hearts of the
