]. R. Swan of Minneapolis, agent
of the Metropolitan Music Co., was
conspicuous figure on the streets
here the first of the week. Mr..
Swan has made many acquaintan-
ces in this vicinity the past season
where his presence has become ia
miliar. That his visits were in the
pursuit of business rather than of
pleasure is evidenced by the fact
that since the first of April last he
has sold nineteen pianos here-sev-
enteen upright, one parlor grand
and one square.
Mistakes will happen despite all
ordinary precautions. Especially
in the printing business are mis-
takes liable to occur where every
week so many thousand characters
have to be picked each out of its
appointed box and put in its proper
place to assist in the constitution of
the word in contemplation, the
words arranged in their logical or
der in the sentence, accompanied
with the appropriate punctuation
points and other necessary marks.
After copy is set a proof" is taken
and carefully read and reread sew
eral times and all mistakes noticed
corrected. After all precautions
mistakes often escape notice and
get into the paper to the delectation
of the hypercritical reader who re-
ioices more in discovering one err
ror than in the finding of thousand
facts. We noticed one of these mis-
takes in the JOURNAL last week
when it was "everlastingly too
late" for correction: Saltwater
voted last week in favor of the city
owning it's water works" The
copy read, Saltwater voted last
week in favor of the city's owning
it's water works" The "apostro-
phe" and IS" were apparent in the
manuscript but had been omitted in
setting up the item and the mistake
had not been discovered in the re-
peated proof readings.

EDsALL.-On his farm in Clifton at
the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
Maggie Wells, Monday, Novem-
Der Is, 1908, James w. Edsall, in
the 72nd year of his age.
Mr.. Edsa11 was born in St. Law
renee county, N. Y, May 80, 1882.
There in 1855 he married Miss
Christy White and the year follow
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Edsal1 came west
and settled on farm at Sun Prai-
RE, Dane county, this state. After
a residence of ten years at Sun
Prairie they sold their farm and re-
turned to New York. Remaining
there. year they then came west
again, this time locating in this
city.
In 1874 Mr.. Edsall's mental con-
dition was such that it was thought
best that he should receive treat
ment in the hospital for the insane
and he was accordingly taken to
the hospital at Mendoza. There he
remained for twenty-three years
when he was transferred to the hos
pital at Reedsburg. Last spring,
having been afflicted by a stroke of
paralysis, he was taken home where
he might receive more considerate
care. During the past summer and
fall he had been tenderly and assid-
uously cared for by his daughter,
Mrs. Eugene Wells, cordially en-
couraged and assisted by her hus-
band. Mrs. Edsall was with them
at times, rendering such aid and
comfort as was in her power.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Edsall were born
three children, one, the frst-born,
a son, died at Sun Prairie in its in
fancy; of the two daughters, Agnes,
who married T. w. Rutherford,
died at Marion, Oregon, in 1890,
leaving the husband and one child,
Edsa1l Rutherford; the surviving
daughter, Mrs. Maggie Wells, lives
in Clifton.
Mr.. Edsal1 was bright, intelli-
gent man, scrupulously honest, and
before his intellect became clouded
was prominent in business. At Sun
Prairie he was a leader in public af-
fairs and was honored with the
most important town offices.
The funeral is held from the fam
ily residence in this city this after
noon at 200 o'clock, conducted by
Rev. D. B. Spencer.

At the great packing houses a
chicken or turkey is dressed in this
way: The fowl is first hung up by
the heels, then the executioner with
sharp-pointed knife penetrates
the BRAIN of the bird through the
mouth. This paralyzes the flesh
and loosens the feathers so that
they can readily be plucked without
any sca1ding. The paralyzing acts
on the skin with the same effect as
scalding.

SMALL RIOT AT
THE UNION DEPOT
Police Reserves with Riot
Guns Appear on the Scene.
Officer Foster Struck.

For the first timo aimee they have been
in their possession. the riot guns were
handled by the police Sunday night at
Union Station. Tho occasion was an as
sault upon Policeman Foster by crowd
of negroes.
Mr.. Foster had arrested negro named
John Drew. who had shown himself dis
orderly. In his efforts to get him to the
patrol wagon he was attacked by the
crowd, and an attempt was made to re-
lease Drew. In the mix-up, the officer
vas hit on the back OF the head twice,
once by blackjack or club and once by
rock.
A hurry call was sent for assistance,
and In less than five minutes the reserve
at the Second Station. headed by Ser
geant Sowell. was on hand. armed with
the riot guns. Captain Hulce, who hur-
rled to the scene with gun, and the
combined force lost no time in dispellng
the crowd
1t was at first thought that the row
was started by strike sympathizers. but
this was not 30.
A colored excursion was about to leave
for Norfolk and great crowd Of ne
groes had gathered. some to go off on
the excursion and others to bid their
friends goodbye.
Officer Foster had been stationed at
the depot to preserve order. but the dis
order was beyond his control. When the
reserve force with their guns reached
the scene the crowd scattered like leaves

used, but they were loaded to shoot.

and more than one skull was bruised
In the strenuous effort TO get order out
OF chaos
Over fences, around corners up alleys,
behind trees and out of sight sped the
negroes, and when the excursiontto Nor
folk did leave 1t was distinctly late. and
1t was shy number of passengers. Some
of them are probably running. yet.
The chances are that had not Police
man Foster been reinforced he would
have been a much battered up officer
and fit subject for the hospital.
Those who made the sortie upon the
negroes were Captain Hulce. Sergeant
Sowell, Prvates Bryant. GARRISON, Shoe
maker, Gary, Schlief, Wyatt Walton,
Wiltshire, Jennings and Billy Bradley.
