The funeral of John G. Onstad took
place at the East Koshkonong church
Dec Goth. John G Onstad was born in
Aurland, Norway, May 2, 1928, and came
to America in 1852, when "a years old
He worked at farming the first two
years. In 1854 he went to the pineries
and spent the winter there, but returned
to Koshkonong and settled down on his
present farm in Sec 16, town OF Chris

Anna johnson Lee. Ten children were
born to them, of whom five have pre-

the community as we'll as to the individ-

A recent arrest of an aged vagrant
led TO some interesting revelations in
regard to an association of beggars
which has its headquarters in the Sor-
bonnie district of Paris. The members
are fairly numerous and the leading
spirit is a man of education who has
been reduced to beggary by drink and
gambling. Every morning a meeting
is held and the operations of the day
planned out. Some members are sent
to beg in the rich quarter of the
Champs Elysees. others to the Plaine
Monceau, while still others are sent or
special missions to wealthy people
taking with them begging letters. In
the evening all meet again and the
spells are equally divided. the usua.
daily share of each member being
from five to six dollars.

THE Lash FOR THIEVES.
Punishment inflicted I'm England
Seems to BE Effective in
stopping Theft.

Highway robbery is a crime with
which English police no longer have tc
reckon, whereas in st. Louis it is a night.
ly occurrence. A cat O. nine tails, used
in England and not used in America, ex-
plains the difference, according to 9. F.
G. Raikes, an English resident OF st
Louis, a y the Post-Dispatch.
Highway robbery is the n crime
for which English law specifies hogging
rs a punishment in addition to imprison'
ment," said Mr.. Ralkes to the Post-Dis-
patch. up to the time l left England
several years ago, l remember hearing
of but one or two cases of highway rob-
berry, and l kept fairly well informed
on such matters. / know that it was one
of the rarest crimes in the kingdom.
'In reading of the nightly robberies
recently in st. Louis | have often thought
of hat fact, and the only explanation !
can find for the difference between ST,
Louis and the English cities is in the
difference of punishment.
'In fact, | have, heard it said that il
was the ~flogging which prevented high
way robberies there. The would-be
robbers seemed to be in deathly fear OF
that.
"a cat O. nine tails, which is a small
bundle of leather strips attached to q
short handle, is piled on a mans back.
and it tells. The number of lashes to be
given is specified by the court just as is
the number of years the guilty mar must
serve in prison.
81 do not know that tlogging is still
practiced in England, but it was a pun
ishment for highway robbers when left
there, and it was regarded as effective.
1.-TWO other things are to be taken
into consideration. The first is that
punishment by Imprisonment is severe
l think the minimum is tsn years andthe
maximum is life. The other is that
pardons are rare in England. Influence
counts for nothing. A mar who is sen
fenced must serve out his time.
at seems different in the United
States. OF course, there is no fiogging
| Furthermore, the prison sentences are
| shorter and pardons are more frequent.
| There are also more delays here in execu-
| ton of the criminal law than in England
There seems to be need of some stern
| measuers in this country to stop high
way robberies. l don't know that fog
ging is the proper punishment, but
| often think of the English practice
when | read of the robberies in st. Louis,
"Other European countries are equal
