PASSES UP THE PEN.
Geo. W. Goldsmith, Editor of Boscobel
Sentinel, Is Dead.

After an illness of nearly years
duration, Geo. w. Goldsmith, COM
monty known as ''Goldy," editor of
the Boscobel Sentinel, passed away
at 2 a. m. Monday.
Deceased was born in Lancaster
in October Of 1S57 and in 1868 went
to New York, where he remained
about two years, returning to Lam
caster when about Is years of age.
He entered the employ of John
Cover upon his arrival here, and
was connected with the Herald

company with L. G. Mckinney,
went to Boscobel and purchased the
Dial from the Lou P. Lester estate.
After remaining in partnership
for several years, Mr.. Mckinney
retired and Mr.. Goldsmith continued
the business until 1898 when he
sold out and returned to Lancaster,
again being employed on the Her
ald.s
In March 1900 he went to Bosco-
bel and was employed on the Dial
Enterprise for a short time, when
he established the Sentinel.
His wife died only three weeks
ago and the condition of the family
for several months has been a
pitiable one.
The mother-ln-law, Mrs. Hawkins,
well known here where she former
ly resided, and two sons, Reuben
and Harlow, survive. Deceased
was a versatile writer, a newspa-
perman of ability and OF wide ac-
quaintapce.
Funeral was held yesterday.

Some of you fellows who never
had million dollars like we editors,
do not know, of course, of just what
the big pile consists. We will put
you on. When you have a million
dollar bills and pile them fiat one on
another and you want to take them
off the top, you will have to reach
up 275 feet. If you have laid them
down end to end you walk III
miles. If you have that amount in
silver dollars the pile would be II
miles high. And SO on. We know
because we tried it the other night,
but the blamed bed slat broke and
we woke up.

Ballot a Yard Long.

If the recommendations made to
the legislature by the governor be
adopted the changes which are
proposed lin the election ballot will
mean practically new election
system in Wisconsin. The new
ballot will provide for a strictly
Australian system.
/ The new ballot proposed will be
a yard long and five inches wide,
and instead of the candidates being
grouped by parties they will be
grouped according to the Office for
which they are nominees. Thus at
the top Of the ballot will be first
the presidential electors; beneath
them the state office nominees, and
beneath them the nominees fer
county Offices.
For his choice of each office the
voter will have to make his designa-
ton and straight ticket votes will
be absolutely impossible except as
a mark is made for the candidate of
each party.

Don't let the weather decei'

Don't let the weather deceive
you. Don't discard your heavy
underwear. Don't leave your over
coat at home. Don't discard your
heavy socks for light ones, for if
you are going to catch pneumonia
it need not take more than an in
slant to do it. This advice seems
timely, despite the fact that the
weather man gives the assurance
of continued warm weather and
southerly winds.

PROTEST SUSTAINED.
Joe Mccoy and Ray Carthew Profit
by the Decision.

A sequel of the Bloomington fair
held in September last was enacted
at the Auditorium hotel in Chicago
last week when the Board of APP
peals of the American Trotting
Assn. acted upon the appeal of
Joe Mccoy on the distribution Of
the green race purse of 500 hung
up at the Blakes Prairie fair.
Entered in the race were May
Kay of Elkader, Ia., beth, owned
by Mr.. Mccoy and Little Polly,
owned by Ray Carthew.
In green race no animal that
has ever started in race for money
is eligible and May Kay exhibited
in such manner that nearly every
one who witnessed her perform
ance was of the opinion that she
was at least emi-professional.
Messrs. Mccoy and Carthew were
SO confident of this fact that they
entered a protest after May went
OUT ana won the race With ease and
the money was withheld.
The Board of Appeal after due in
vestigation and consideration of the
circumstances decided that the pro-
test was well taken, that May Kay
was entirely out of place, that she
had started IN race in Iowa a short
time previous to the fair at Bloom
ington and was IN no way entitled
to share of the money in a green
race.
AS a result of this decision Joe
McCoy's Elizabeth gets first money
of the event in question, $50, and
Ray Carthew's Little Polly lands
second money, $35.
These little sums will come in
handy for Christmas.

Open Winter Saves Feed.

Thousands OF tons of fodder and
feed are being saved each week by
farmers In Grant county, according
to reports received from all parts of
the country, because the farmers
have found that the open season
has allowed the running of cattle
and horses in pastures and fields
where there remains plenty of feed
without use of that stocked up for
winter use.
Exactly what the saving is to the
farmers is a question, but it amounts
far up in the thousands of dollars
each week. There is hardly a stock
farmer In the country who does not
feed at least a ton of feed each day,
excepting when his stock can be in
the fields.
Usually during November and De-
cember, the conditions are such
that the cattle must be kept IN the
barns, but this season has been diff
ferent, and with the exception of a
couple of cold days within a week
past, there has not been !period in
which this season could not be
termed the most "open" season that
the country has experienced for
years.
While saving by allowing their
cattle to run in the fields, the farm.
ers have also been able to prepare
for winter in better shape than ever
before. Fodder is being placed in
stacks and when the real cold wealth.
or settled down over southern Wis
consin, the fields will be practically
clear of corn. Frequently it has
been necessary for the farmers tC
cut fodder during the middle of the
winter, but the thrifty ones will MOI
do SO this time.
Reports from the country sections
of the county are that the ''open'
weather has been exceptionally fav
orable along another line, for the
chickens of Grant county are laying
eggs as though it were June OF
July instead of December. And al
the same time, high prices for eggs
are prevailing, so that the farmers
and the farmers wives ale able tC
stow away quite sum for Chris
mas presents.

"A Dodgeville five year old lad,
according to an exchange, tried to
swop his fathers horse for a shep-
herd dog the other day, and on the
offer being refused he wanted to
swop his older brother for the
canine, and when the generous
offer was refused, he offered his
younger brother, and finally agreed
to throw in his father for the covet-
ed dog, but when the other party
to the proposed trade offered to
take his mother in exchange for the
dog the youngster refused. If this
isn't case of devotion to ones

We tumbled onto a new mode of
washing the hair the other day, and
give it to our feminine readers free
gratis, while it cost us quarter
Many young housekeeper goes
about with tangled tresses because
she cannot afford costly shampoos
and does not understand the art of
washing her own hair. Probably
the most satisfactory method of
cleansing the hair is one invented
by the American Indians, long years
ago. Go to a small stream of run
ming water, empty quart of borax
or shaved soap into the brook, run
swiftly to point some fifty feet
down stream, and dive into the
water head first. The soapy water
rushing on it's way, will swish
through the hair and cleanse it
thoroughly. If you cannot conven-
iently find a stream of running
water, lather your head and go out
into the rain.
~
Cakes, tarts and buildings are
greatly improved by adding snow
dressing, delicious frosting. AS
soon as the first good snow storm
sets in bake sponge cake or some
other pastry and rush out doors
long enough to secure two quarts Of
pure white snow. Mix with an
equal amount Of pulverized sugar,
and add a dash of lemon extract.
Stir gently with a German silver
spoon, and when it is well stirred
slap it into the pastry. Eat hur-
riedly, before the snow melts. If
you are troubled with toothache,
feed it to the servant. Snow dressing
is very inexpensive, quite within
the means of any housekeeper.

shop at 1874 West First street by shoot
ing himself through the right temple.
The cause of the action is supposed

BY SPEAKERS
Five Hundred Persons Attend a Mass
Meeting in Simpson Audito-
rum in Behalf of Local
Society

Five hundred persons gathered last
night at mass meeting in aid of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals in Simpson auditorium and
listened to addresses by Rev. Baker P.
Lee, Prosecuting Attorney George Bee
be and DR.. T.. E. Conger, president of
the Pasadena Humane society. The
idea of teaching the principles of the
society in the public schools was dis
cussed to some extent and met with
the hearty approval of the audience
Rev. Mr.. Lee was the first speaker
and stated that while he was in favor
of humane societies and temperance
associations lie believed that they
carried their work to too great an ex-
treme at times and overbalanced the
good that they had done. His solution
for overcoming the cruelty in mankind
was to instill the right spirit into the
child and let ii grow with him.
Mr.. Conger related a number of in
teresting experiences and told of the
good that the Pasadena society is do
ing,
