Miss Prudy Allen.

Miss Prudy Allen, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Allen, was
born in Marcelion, Wis, Dec. p,
1853, and died at Madison, Wis,
August IL, 1908. She went West
in 1887 and taught school in diff
ferent states for several years,
then went to Illinois and was
graduated from Dixon college in
1892. She returned to the west
and continued teaching until
about five years ago, when she
located at Wiessert, Neb., and
went into the mercantile business.
She was appointed postmistress
and had charge of the telephone
exchange at that place. The
remains were taken to the home
of her sister, Mrs. E. c. West
in Bellefountain, and funer-
al services were held at the Com
stock school house Aug. Is,
which was largely attended.
She was laid at rest in the Com
STOCK cemetery.
Miss Allen, the notice of whose
death as given above appeared
in the Wisconsin State Register
of Augusc Fl, was we'll and
favorably known to many readers
of the REPUBLICAN. She became
a resident of this county and en-
gagged at once in school teaching
in the fall of 1892. She was a
relative of Mrs. w. H. Comstock
and was first employed to teach
in that neighborhood. Hel
efforts being attended by marked
success she was afterward engag
ed in the Ansley school and il
the vicinity of Westerville. Al

Galloway now has the only
daily paper in the county. f.
w. Conley is getting out the
Daily Tribune for the benefit of
the camp meeting people, which
is four-column folio.
The camp meeting, which is
now in progress at this place, is
not drawing the crowds it did
last year, owing to the fact that
everybody is too busy taking care
of their mammoth crops. Never
theless those who are able to at
tend are enjoying the meetings.
August Blixt, a young man re-
siding on Tallin Table, met with
serious accident last Saturday,
which will lay him up for some
time to come. Himself aud
father recently purchased a new
steam thresher with all the late
improvements, and while work.
ing with same the self band-cutt-
ing apparatus caught him on the
arm cutting a cash several inches
long and to the bone. DR..
Mathews patched the unfortun-
ate young man up, and 1t is
thought he will get along all
right.
Chris Christensen, a twelve
year-old lad, residing in Rye
Valley west of this place, was
found dead by his mother last
Saturday afternoon. The boy
was herding cattle for August
Jaeger, and was in the habit of
playing in the sand while the
cattle were grazing, making
small caves, etc. 1t appears that
on the fatal day he had burrowed
into the bank for some distance,
when the moist dirt from above
caved in on him, either crushing
him or smothering him. When
he failed to return home to dim
ner, as was his custom, his
mother became alarmed, and
after the other boys had eaten
their dinner, she started out in
search of the missing lad. Two
dogs were with him, and during
the afternoon one of the dogs
came to the boys mother and by
following him he led her to the
other dog, where she found her
boy dead. When found only his
feet were protruding from
the hole, while the bal
lance of the body was covered
with the dirt. She dug in till
she learned that life was extinct,
when she became exhausted ant
had to return for assistance
The case is made all the more
sad from the fact that only a
few years ago his father met &C
cidental death by his team run
ming away with binder, throw
ing him in front of the sickle
and running one of the guard
| into his head. Funeral service
were held from the home on Sun
day afternoon, conducted by Rev
Buckley, and the remains laid t.
rest in the Kingsbury cemeter,
beside his father.

THE ONLY DECISION POSSIBLE:

The London Morning Advertiser an
nounces that the Alaska boundary tri-
bunal has reached a decision virtually
conceding the American case. AS T h
G 10 b e stated at the time the COM
mission assembled, this was the only
conclusion it could possibly reach. 1t
must either disband after a total dis
agreement, or it must accept the
American contention. The American
members were thoroughly committed
to their position. They were justified
lived neglected and dishonored lives if
they had dared to return to this country
after yielding a single material point
AS we have said, the entire Canadian
claim is of less than ten years stand
ing. 1t was never heard of or thought
about seriously by anybody prior to
the discovery of gold in the Klondike
1t has all the treaties, all the maps, all
TIE records ever since the first occupa-
ton of the country by Russia, against
ii. Il is supported by nothing but a
strained and fanciful Interpretation,
ncw admitted to be applied to words
whose plain meaning is not doubtful;
and nothing was added until it became
of vital interest to Canada to trump
UP q case
1t will be an excellent thing to have
this boundary question settled, if it
can be settled right. The American
position could never alter. Even at
the cost of war, we could no more re-
sign portion of Alaska, or give UP
any of our seaports on Lynn canal
than we could turn over the state of
Maine to the Dominion because it
would weber longer frontage on the
Atlantic. Left unsettled, the contro-
versy, however baseless in its origin,
would be a fruitful source of bicker-
ing and tend to keep apart the two
countries whose every real interest
should draw them closer together. In
the long run, it will be as well for
Canada as for the United States that
the issue should be permanently re-
moved. since neither by stratagem nor
force nor arbitration could she ever
realize on her absurd claim. If the
report sent out from London is sub
Stimulated, the policy of those who
urged the commissions appointment
will be justified.

CAUSE OF PHENOMENA
IN THE WEATHER
Serviss Attributes 1t to Changes in the
Radiations of the Sun.

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 16.-Garrett P.
Serviss, the expert meteorologist, and
one OF the veteran officials connected
with the United States weather bu-
reau, said in an interview tonight:
The extraordinary weather of the
past few weeks did not happen by ac-
cldent. The common cause and source
OF al! weather is the sun. The sun
exercises its influence upon the earth
through radiation. If the radiation Of
the sun is variable the effect must be
feIt wherever that radiation extends.
Just at present the radiation of the
sun Is undergoing a marked variation.
Th1s fact is shown by the recurrence of
what is known as maximum sun spot
period. Such a period is just setting
IN upon the sun. The spots have not
yet become very large or very numer-
Gus, but they are tending to increase
While the unknown causes that pro-
duce them are already in full opera
ton. These causes, more than the sun
spots themselves, affect the character
of the SUMS radiation. We did not
readily detect the change in the light
and heat that We receive from the SUM-
because slight fractional increase or
decrease in the mean temperature or
the average illumination is hardly per-
ceptible to our senses, but the inf1u-
ence OF the change upon the atmos-
phere and upon magnetism of the
earth is more decided in its effects, and
results in extraordinary vicissitudes of
the weather.
This influence must be general all
over the earth, but the precise manner
IN which it is manifested in particular
places depends upon local conditions
The broad effect is that everywhere
the elements of the weather are inten-
slfled, producing unusual storms,
floods, winds and sharp and sudden
contrasts and changes. This has been
the general character of the weather
throughout the present year. during
which the disturbing forces underly-
ing sun spots have been gathering.
AS the sun spot maximum increases
a perceptible change in the general
character of the seasons all over the
earth is likely to be manifested"

PERJURY THE CHARGE
CHASE MUST ANSWER
Commanding General of Colorado
ee Guard to Be Tried Monday.

DENVER, Col, Oct 16.-It was def
1n1tely learned today that the charges
on which Brig. Gen. John Chase, of the
Colorado National guard, has been
summoned before military court next
Monday are perjury and disobedience
OF orders. The perjury is in connec-
ton with the Imprisonment of Davis.
one of the strike leaders at Cripple
Creek.
Gen. Chase signed court papers
which stated that Davis had been re-
leased His friends say he did not
read the papers carefully and commit
ted the act inadvertently. His enemies
say that is no excuse for the act.
Charges against Col. Frederick Cross
and Col. Frank Kimball have been
formulated by Mayor Arthur H. Will
Iams and Gen. Chase. They allege
that loaded weapons were drawn by
Cross and Kimball on Mai Williams
and two orderlies. Gen. Chase will file
charges with the governor against
Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell, but the gov
ernor, it is minated, will not hand
them to the judge advocate unless
Chase should demand a special court
martial.

RIOTING RAG PICKERS
STAB SEVERAL GIRLS
Striking Members of Clip Sorters'
Union Start Serious Fight.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-In a riot to-
night, the result of strike at a rag
factory in First street, several girls
were stabbed, one of them so seriously
that she had to be taken to a hospital.
The employees, about fifty in number.
recently organized under the name of
the Clip Sorters union.
Demands were made upon the firm
which were refused, and strike was
declared. To carry on their business
the firm engaged a number of Italians.
Then the new union proceeded to sta
ton pickets near the factory. To-
night, when the Italians came out of
the factory, a free fight occurred and
the Italians, it is said, used knives to
defend themselves. In the ARRAY Lena
Schwartz was stabbed in the back. At
the hospital it was said she would
probably recover.
Three other girls were slightly hurt
and they were taken to their homes.
Two Italians were arrested and held on
charges of felonious assault.

success of his party, regardless of pub
lie interests. 1t is no wonder that Sec
rotary Shaw has abandoned the treas
ury that he~may cover the country as
stump speaker, when his chief sets
him the example. - -
We believe this attitude and this ac-
ton of President Roosevelt to be the
gravest political mistake. We regret
it, because it lowers the dignity of the
presidential" Office. We eregret it be-
cause it is bad for popular faith in
high ideals and reform programmes
when a man who has been as conspic-
uously identified with both as has Mr..
Roosevelt turns tail upon his record
and, the instant that. his ,self-interest
is involved, embraces the extreme
nounced for fifteen or twenty years
past. Moreover, it is utterly short
sighted and futile.- Nothing arouses
righteous wrath more quickly in the
breasts of people than outside inter
ference with their local affairs. The
memorable defeat of Folger in New
York was a lesson for all time.
Every time that officials at Wash
ington lay hands upon the local ma
chine and attempt to direct it's OPP
erations they get a shock. The people
of each state are thoroughly compe-
tent to run their political affairs with
out outside interference. Senator
Germans rebuke of President Roose-
welt is not dictated by fear of conse-
quences, because nothing could con-
duce more to Democratic success in
the state than the course which the
president is pursuing. 1t is an express
sion of natural resentment which every
citizen of Maryland will feel, and a
just reflection upon the policy and acts
of the president as compared with the
theories that he has so often and so
earnestly advocated when his own per-
sonal fortunes were not involved.

If the council will follow up dill

reached by the committee on streets of
