J. G. END A BANKRUPT.
Sheboygan Merchant and Politician
Files a Petition in Court.

Sheboyoan Merchant and Politician
Files Petition in Court.
Sheboygan, Feb. 10.-Joseph G. End,
one Of the oldest merchants in the
state, filed a petition in bankruptcy
yesterday. Mr.. End for thirty-two
years conducted a general and depart
ment store at ShebOygan. Last sum-
mer he was a candidate for the nomi-
nation for state treasurer before the
republican convention, and was beaten
by John J. Kempf. His son is one of
the appointees Of Zeno NJ. Host, insul-
ance commissioner.
The liabilities, according to the
schedules filed with the clerk of the
United States circuit court, amount to
$62,541.6 and the assets to $50, 011.56.
That latter figure, however, is said to
contain duplicate items, decreasing
the actual assets to SIT 1926. Repre-
sentatives of John V. Farwell of Chi
cagO and other creditors were on hand
to request the appointment Of a re-
ceiver, but on account of another case
before the court, the matter did not
come up until later in the day. The
creditors are for the most part firms
from which the bankrupt bought goods
and individuals, including a number Of
clergymen, from whom he borrowed
money. The assets consist of book
accounts, land to the value of about
$4,000, stock valued at SAL 900, and in
surance policies amounting to $4,000

SOMEONE TIPPED GAMBLERS.
Question Which Bothers La Crosse
County Officials.

La Crosse, Wis, Feb lot is
stated here on good authority that
District Attorney Otto Bosshard is
considering the proposition of going
to Governor La Toilette to ask his aid
in the war against the gamblers of
the city. Incidentally it is stated
that he will ask that the governor ask
the sheriff of this county why it was
that he did not serve the warrant as
soon as it was issued in the cases now
pending and why it was that all the
gamblers had a tip on the fact that
the raids were to be made and had
ample time to prepare their places of
business.

Washington, Feb. 10.-In the senate
yesterday Senator Carmack spoke on
the RawIins resolution calling for the
records OF courtsmartial Of officers
serving in the Philippines. He urged
that murders in the Philippines by
American soldiers had become so com
mon that they would not bear investi-
cation and that this answer was en-
tirely satisfactory ito our noble, gen
erous and humane secretary of war"
He also criticized the president for
"never having heard of the Captain
BrowneII case after having announced
his intention Of probing crimes in the
Philippines.
Senator Kean spoke on the state
hood bill for short time when he

was defeated and the latter sent back

Aberdeen, S. D., May %, 1908

The talk Of Democrats boiling
which is almost wholly in Republican
papers where the wish is the fono
parent of the thought, is decidedly
premature. 1t is much too early te
bolt, but a good stiff bluff may DC
timely. The next campaign Will moi
be fought by the Democrats upon the
Kansas City platform, but upon one
which is yet to be promulgated. Inc
next fight will be made most likely
upon new issues growing out OF new
conditions, and possibly under new
leadership. The scandalous conditions
of affairs in the postal and military
departments of the government, TOT
which the party in power must stahu
responsible. may yet, il disclosures
continue, furnish the dominant issue.
If the cry sTurn the racalS out" is
not sufficient to rally the eastern and
western Democrats intoa harmonious
force. then the party OF Bryan ana
Cleveland better go out of business.
