Too Much Ballot.

The Australian ballot is getting
to be too much of a good thing and
this year it exceeds all previous re-
cords. When the voter steps into
the booth Tuesday, the ballot clerk
will hand him poster "a inches
wide and 35 inches long. The
blanket sheet is nine columns wide
and has 81 names in column
From this aggregation, the voter,
intelligent and otherwise, is ex-
pected to select the names of the
men whom he wishes to assume the
reins of government. Just how he
is going to do this in quiet way,
all by himself, is a problem. He
can't get the: ballot into the stall
and spread it out, because the sheet
is too wide, and there is no provi-
sion made for voters getting on to
the roof of the booth to mark their
ballot, SO there is evidently trouble
ahead. If the voters have to spread
the blanket sheets on the neighbor-
ing bill boards or utilize the cement
sidewalks whenever possible where
does the secretary of the ballot come
in?

Robert M. LaFollette.

Robert Marion LaFollette was
born at Primrose, Dane County,
Wis, June 18th, 1855, son of Josiah
and Mary (Ferguson) LaFollette.
He comes from an old French
Hugenot family, which settled in
this country more than a century
ago. After attending the district
school and preparatory academy
at Madison, he entered the pre-
paratory department of the State
University in 1874; graduating from
the general sc1ence course with the
class of 70, and entered the law
department the same year. In
February, 1880, he passed the state
bar examination was admitted to
practise, and Immediately opened an
office in the city of Madison. At
the ensuing election he was elected
district attorney of Dane County,
and was reelected to that office in
1882. In 1884 he was elected a mem

Farmers a Factor.

The farmers are getting lots of
'taffy'' about this time. No politi-
cal paper goes out without a fatter-
ing dose for the honest, hard
working farmer, and every stump
speaker aims most of his appeal
to the same sturdy sons OF toll.
And these people act wisely in SO
doing. It IS the farmers vote that
will settle this election. If as a
rule they are satisfied with prevail
ing conditions there will be no
change Of administration in SO for
as national legislation is concerned
and that is the prime factor.
Tidal waves Of discomfort, political
revolutions and reform bugaboos
are not given much attention when
people are satisfied with their lot,
especially the farming class.
Fortunate is the country which
has a prosperous and contented lot
of farmers, and fortunate is the
political party that enjoys the con-
fidence of that mighty conservative
force which makes for righteous
ness and substantial government.

The below cut is an excellent re-
production of the features of ex-
Governor George w. Peck OF Mil
waukee. who again aspires for CUB
ernator1al honors. Governor Peck
was elected governor of Wisconsin
for the first time in 1890 when he
defeated Governor Hoard for re-
election by a plurality of %, 800.
His net majority was 1882. This
was the year the state issues were
merged in the Bennett school law
and the little log schoolhouse with
the American flag above it was the
slogan and banner of the republi-
cans. In 1892 Peck was reelected
governor ever John G.. Spooner, the
republican nominee, by a plurality
Of 7,O07. This was the campaign
that Colonel Spooner made against
his wishes because his party wished
him to and the one in which present
governor LaFollette refused to aid
because of his legal practice. In
1892 Peck was defeated by Upham,
the republican nominee, Upham's
plurality being 1886. Since then
X-Governor Peck has been a private
citizen except for short time when
he was a member of the university

LOST HORSE FOUND.
Peter Henkle Horse Turned Over to
Sheriff.

Some time ago an advertisement
was seen in the papers calling for
stray horse belonging to the
Peter Henkle estate and describing
it fully. The horse disappeared
from the farm, in common with
considerable other property belong
ing to the estate, some weeks ago,
and although the authorities have
been on the watch, neither the
horse nor any of the other articles
could be located.
The sheriff received word Mon
day, however, that William Sed-
brook. the lame man who lives
near Beetown, had taken up stray
horse which he believed to be the
one sought for. Deputy Chas.
Burrows at once went to look at the
animal, and identified it as the
Henkle horse. 1t had come into a
cornfield near Sedbrook's house and
been driven out several times, but
when it kept returning he came to
the conclusion that it was lost and
then remembered of seeing the
advertisement. The animal is a
fine brown mare, of good bone and
will weigh in the neigh borhood of
1900 pounds when in flesh. Her
name and tail had been cut short,
and her feet show marks of heavy
work instead of rest during the
time she was gone. It is the opin-
ion Of the officers that the horse was
stolen, and the alterations made in
her appearance to conceal the theft
until a market could be found. The
animal is being worked by Barnett
& Son until further disposition can
be made, and is the near horse in
the team driven by Sam Richards.

HALLOWEEN FROLICS.
Annual Feast of the Supernatural
Comes and Ghosts Abound.

Another Halloween, the yearly
festival dear to the Scottish heart,
the one night of the year when
shadowy forms play strange pranks
and make wierd transformations,
has passed. The festival is much
changed from the ritual of the an
clients, when spirits fed the oxen in
the stalls at night and huge bon
fires were the principal features of
the celebration. The transforms
ton has been brought about by a
mischief loving generation, who
find great enjoyment in worrying
and bothering their neighbors.
Lancaster rested rather easier
than usual during the ordeal. Miss
Ina Hastings entertained company
Of her friends and the various clubs
of the city held extra sessions. In
the meantime, under cover OF the
darkness, sidewalks framed fantas-
tic outlines, buildings were barri-
caded or carried away piecemeal,
ratings which had heretofore been
trustS guides to erring footsteps be-
came insurmountable barriers, stray
vehicles took to the bitches and
cordwood and horse blocks disport-
ed on front porches in reckless
abandon. Mystic writings appear
ed on plate glass windows and on
back doors, and on Pat Mays black
smith shop appeared the device,

lures to Hyde park, to which they
make a very valuable acquisition.

A New Wrinkle.

n with hopes or success at the DQliS
running high, keyed up by the in
MIGRATING LaFollette jaw-jaw, the
administl alton lieutenants have
recklessly uncovered a scheme by
which they are trying to obtain in
fluential votes at the sacrifice of
state interests. Tags bearing the
official signature Of the state game
and fish department are required to
be placed on all game and fish that
is shipped outside the state. This
is one of the most efficient means Of
protecting our home game against
slaughter by hunters from other
states. The tags are of bright red
color, and are easily distinguished.
By use of these tags, game for
foreign shipment and game killed
out of season, is immune from con-
fiscation and the consignors there
OF need have no fear of arrest.
A Madison merchant, who deals
in fish and game, stated the other
day that, having occasion to send a
large consignment of pickerel to
the Chicago market, he went to the
state game warden's office and
asked for one of these tags. In
stead of handing him one tag, as the
law intends, the official in charge
/ of the office handed him generous
handful, without even SO much as
inquiring how much fish was to be
shipped. Bnt this is only a shadow
of the real evil. Game wardens in
Milwaukee and elsewhere in tue
state are dealing out these tags
with liberal hand wherever they
think the privilege will be repaid
by a favorable vote. Hotels which
possess politically influential mana
gements are permitted by the use
of these tags to serve game to their
guests out of season without fears
of prosecution. In drowsy moment
one of the willy game wardens gave
one of the tags the wrong way and
gave with it the secret of its potency.
This prodigality entirely defeats
the purposes of our game laws and
sets at naught the 500, 900 which is
spent annually for game protection
in this state.

plumage and black hackle, saddle and
tail The word Lakenvelder means in
Dutch "a shadow on a sheet" DIR. A.
II. Phelps describes this new breed as
follows:
"As their name suggests, these birds
are of Dutch origin. In Holland and
Belgium, where this breed has been a
favorite for more than half century,
it was formerly known as the Jerusa-
lem or the Everlasting Layer. 1t pass
ed unnoticed by English and Ameri-
can fanciers until about four years
ago, when 1t was taken up by several
English breeders and Immediately
caused a sensation, which has contin-
ued to spread and now has 4 firm foot
hold upon both sides of the Atlantic.
Wherever the Lakenvelder appears
sensation is sure TO follow.
.Imagine for one moment White
Leghorn cock with a tail of mammoth
proportions, having the most ample
hackle feathering upon both neck and
rump. Now imagine that these hac-
kles and tail are of the most intense
Jet black, and you have mental pic
ture of the Lakenvelder. 1t is living
picture in black and white, startling,
yet beautiful The Lakenvelders equal
the Hamburg and Leghorn as layers"
Our illustration Of this variety is TAX
en- from the Feathered World of Eng
land.
While the Indian Runner IL new
variety of duck so far as the exhibition
room in this country is considered, it is
not in fact new breed to the world.
In writing of these ducks Mr.. j. Don
aid says they originally came from
India to England something over fifty
years ago. Soon after this they made
their appearance in the show rooms OF
England and attracted considerable
public attention. Some little time aft
er this they were brought to the atten-
ton of the American fanciers, who
have done much to improve them In
this country.
The brakes of this variety weigh
from four and half to five pounds,
the ducks about pound less. They
begin to lay when quite young. 1t IS
reported that some have been known
to produce eggs when less than i've
months old, and, in addition to this,
they are credited with having produced
as many as 120 eggs in year. The
eggs of the true variety have a white
shell and are not quite so large as those
of other varieties.
One of their advantages is the fact
that they are great foragers and will
go all over the farm in search of ami
NAL food, such as bugs and worms of
all kinds, of which they are very fond.
Frequently they will start out as soon
as it is daylight in the morning and
only return home in the evening to be
fed. This is a disadvantage, as they

DisapproYnl of the Dust Spray,

Many of the Illinois orchardists do
not approve of dust spraying for fun
gous troubles. Some time ago one OF
the speakers before the State Horticul-
tural society voiced the objection thus:
II think that the wise man, if he hap
pens to be q fruit grower, viii keep
away from the dust spray until the
experiment station has settled the
question, and if there are any who
have lingering ideas in their minds
that there are some merits in the dust
spray l would advise them to wait
awhile until the thing has been settled
and not waste any money on mate
rials and spraying machines, but to
stick to the thing that we know is
good, and when these other things are
q success we can invest in them. y
1t is suggested by some of the fruit
growers that in the compromising OF
the dust spray the chemical property
which in the liquid is effective against
fungus is neutralized or in some way
changed. On the other hand, one Of
the large orchardists of southern Hi
nois announces his satisfaction in the
use of the dust spray.
