STALWART TACTICS
Chas. Coon. an Employee OF the
Wisconsin Central Visits Hud-

A smooth-faced, slick and slippery
gentleman came to Hudson Tuesday
and remained at the Chaplin Hal
House that night. 1t will be remem
bered that was the night the Cover
nor was here.
The smooth-faced gentleman talked
politics and for long time had
everything his own way. This SO
worked upon phiS conceit that he
continued discussing state politics
until late hour and grew more and
more aSSertive as he proceeded. The
mans name is Charles Coon and he is
at present in the employ of the
Wisconsin Central railroad. He is
dough distributor" for the stalwart
leaders and it is not improbable that
he left some here for the stalwart
campaign. We have no proof of this
but he was very anxious to bet money
and as he never was known to have
any money of his own it is fair to
conclude that he had some belonging
to his employers.
Mr.. Coon's career is a checkered
one and when he was confronted with
it Tuesday night at the Chaplin Hall
he hung his head and made no effort
to defend himself.
Fhe story of his public career is
long. and interesting but want of
space prevents our entering into
details.
He was deputy game warden
under the Scofeld administration and
at the close of his official career he
and his immediate superior, Game
Warden EllerSon, sold confiscated
hunting and fishing outfits to the
tune of about Sl1OO and pocketed the
proceeds. During two years they sold
hundreds of dollars worth of confis-
Gated game and fish and turned over
to the state the munificent sum of
six dollars. Mr.. Coon did not deny
this when the statement was made to
him Tuesday night.
He was afterward employed by the
Eleventh Floor League and for two
years he slept at the headquarters.
1t was Coon who made many of those
historic deals With country papers
which experienced such a sudden
change of heart and found their sub
scription list suddenly swelled by a
few hundred subScriberS,-Som of
them nominal and most of them i'm
aginary ones
At one time he was sent into Wood
county with S700 to convince certain
editors that GOV. LaFollette is a
dictator. But he failed to convince.
He fell in with a couple of card
sharpers and when day dawned the
500 had changed hands.
There is much more to be told but
our space is limited. 1t may interest
some Of our readers to know that a
number of stalwart leaders and candi-
dates got very close to Mr.. Coon and
his mysterious hand Satchel Tuesday
night.-St. Croix Observer.

FIRST TO RESPOND TO CALL.
Meeting Of the Survivors Association
Of the District Of Columbia.

The Survivors Association Of the District
of Columbia Volunteers of 81 had several
notable acquisitions to membership last
evening, when six veterans Of the civil war
were installed. They are:. Augustus L.
Grimes. Charles Davis. William G. Tanner.
8. c. Hay, Edwin Petit and Charles H.
SHINES, and all of them had the distin-
guished honor of belonging to the first or
ganized body to enter the military service
in the civil war.
Tho occasion of installment was the June
meeting of the association, held at st. Jo-
seph's Fall, 9Th and H streets northwest.
Capt. ]. T. Ford, president of the associa-
ton, presided and William H. Braund acted
as secretary. Following the installation and
business of the meeting refreshments were
served.
There was some disappointment OCCASION
ed by the letter from Charles H. Mcconnell,
chief Of staff of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, In response to a request made by the
Survivors Association for permission to
parade III line with the G. A. r. annually.
This request was refused, the explanation
being that the G. A. R. had invariably ruled
that only members of the body might pa
rade with it. Capt. Ford was then author
lied to communicate with the Boston Min
ute Men with view of joining that organi-
cation in its annual parade in the line OF
prisoners of war and naval veterans. The
request sent to the G. A. r. was based on
the fact that the Survivors served before
the call for volunteers, from April 10 to 10,

greet that increasing age has compelled the

pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church, and we
desire to place on record our high esteem
for this beloved brother and our admira-
ton of his privileged ministry of forty
seven years with this one church, of which
he has been the only pastor. To few men
has the privilege been accorded of living
and laboring in one community for so long
time, of preserving through nearly nVe
decades of public ministry character
above reproach that has commended In no
small degree the gospel which he has 20
faithfully preached. He has proven him
self to be a good minister of Jesus Christ.
and many there are who could rise up ana
call him blessed We wish for our dear
brother in the well-earned rest which he
enters the consciousness of work we'll
done. and we pray that the Lord will grant
him through his declining years the daily
sense of Divine nearness and the sweet
est fellowship in heavenly love.
AS a conference, we desire also to ex-
press our hearty appreciation of the &C
ton taken by the church In making MN
pastor emeritus and continuing his salary
for life. 1t is beautiful tribute or az
lection for him. whose ministerial career
was SO cheerfully spent In their behalr, ana
a fitting expression of the value they put
on his unremitting toll in pastoral devo-

Given to the Sick on Trial.

Many who are in need of Hyomei, the
treatment that cures catarrh without
stomach dosing, have not yet realized its
wonderful healing powers. Henry Evans
wants every one who is troubled with ca
tarrh or catarrhal colds to get Hyomei
outfit from him with the understanding
that it is absolutely free unless it cures
catarrh and frees the system from germs
of grippe and influenza.
The first days use of Hyomei will show
by its exhilarating and vitalizing effects
that it is doing good. Use it for full
month entirely at Henry Evans risk If
at the end of thirty days, you can say
that Hyomei has not helped you he will
return your money without question or
argument.
