FORCE OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Few years ago Joseph w. Folk OF
MISSOURI succeeded in arOusing a right
public sentiment by going after the
Missouri boodlers in rough and tuni-
BILE style and broke them up and ultl-
mately placed Folk in the gubernator-
ial chair. His achievement, while
sufficiently commendable for the polit-
ical publication it accomplished, had
a wider effect in stirring up public
more noticably in the larger cities.
The most conspicuous example is furn-
ished by the city of Philadelphia,
whose aroused citizens have just sue
ceeded in defeating, for the time at
least. the most brazen attempt to loot
a public treasury that the history of
the nation affords.
A recent manifestation of public dis
approval along a different line IS
scarcely less interesting. In this case
another Pennsylvania city was the
scene. Nan Patterson, fresh from her
third trial for the murder of Caesar
Young, returned to the stage as a
member of burlesque Company. No
doubt the manager who engaged her
believed the wide notoriety she had
achieved through her trials in New
Il fho n n
which she had been featured in the
yellow dailies would make her great
drawing card.
His disgust may be imagined when
it developed that the public would
have none of Nan Patterson on the
stage Instead of focking by hun
dreds to see her, theatre goers turn
ed out in small numbers Many of
thOes in the audience, including mum.
hers of women, left the theatre be
fore Nan Patterson's turn arrived
Business grew steadily worse The
show was changed to eliminate much
matter that had been pronounced OBJ
jectionable, but still people shunne

woman was forced to sever her con

FARRELL In TROUBLE.
Former Lancaster Man Under Arrest
at Los Angeles.

Sundays Milwaukee Sentinel con-
tsined the following item In regard
to E. G. Farrell, formerly a resident
of this locality:
F. E. Cohen, general manager OF
the Montgomery Cohen Realty and
Advertising company, is in the Los
Angeles city jail as a suspect. The
police believe they have caught in
Cohen a clever swlndler who has
operated in San Francisco, Chicago,
Seattle, St. Louis, and other cities,
and who is none other than Fred j.
Wood, alias E. G.. Farrell and
dozens of other names, who is
wanted in San Francisco and several
other cities on charges of grand
larceny. Among his effects was
found a letter dated June 4, 1908,
from Miss Mary Farrell of Ian
caster, Wis, scoring Farrell for his
past life and refusing to give him
money which he evidently asked
for.

Deer Season Opens.

This morning at sunrise the hunt
ing Of deer begins in Wisconsin and
the open season will be on for the
remainder of the present month.
It will be lawful to kill deer Satur-
day, but they cannot be legally
shipped until Sunday morning.
The lawful killing of deer will cease
with the final day of the month,
but three days are allowed by law
for the hunters to get their game
home. All shipments must be ac-
compauied by the owner and must
be properly tagged to avoid con-
fiscation as required by the laws
governing the service of deputy
game wardens. Warden Swenholt
has sent large number Of dep
uties into the deer country and they
are now checking up hunting camps
and otherwise getting tab on the
situation SO as to better and more
effectively enforce the laws. A
number of arrests and convictions
have been reported for having
venison in possession in the closed
season, for illegal hunting and fish
ing, and quantities of game i'm
properly and illegally shipped have
been confscated. Non-residents
hunting in Wisconsin this year will
be greater than last year. Already
217 resident deer licenses have
been issued, while at this date last
year there had been 100 issued.
The total for last year was 379
The nonresident deer license costs
$25. There have been issued to
date 319 small game licenses to
residents of Wisconsin, costing
$40 each. Last year the total was
322, which included II for the spring
season. The short spring season
was abolished by the last legisla-
ture, but it is expected that the
total for nonresident small game
licenses will be increased this year
nevertheless.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

When, nearly three centuries ago,
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become the great re-
public, they confronted not only
hardship and privation, but terrible
risk to their lives. In those grim
years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year for q
special service Of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing sea-
sons. The custom has now be-
come national and hallowed by i'm
memorial usage. We 1--we in easier
and more plentiful times than our
forefathers, the men who with
rugged strength faced the rugged
days; and yet the dangers to ma
tional life are quite as great now as
at any previous time in our history.
1t is eminently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart a
day for praise and thanksgiving to
the giver of good, and at the same
time that they express their thank
fulness for the abundant mercies re-
ceived, should mutually acknow-
ledge their short comings, and
pledge themselves solemnly, and in
good faith, to strive to overcome
them. During the last year we
have been blessed with bountiful
crops. Our business prosperity has
been great. No other people have
ever stood on as high a leyel OF
material we'll being as ours now
stands. We are not threatened by
foe from without. The foes from
whom we should pray to be de-
llvered are our own passions,
appetites, and follies, ard against
these there is always need that we
should war.
Therefore, now set apart Thurs
day, the thirtieth day of this Novem-
Der, as day of thanksgiving for the
past and of prayer for the future,
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-11-11
TALES OF THE TOWN

some people he hadn't seen in
Sweden, but the reply was: I'VE
hat dem kinds of peoples in Sweden,
but we don't call 'em Indians, we
calls 'em Norwegians."
~
A certain party residing not far
from Lancaster recently purchased
a horse. He has Jewish proclivities
and had rather novel experience
in finding place to keep the nag.
He sent his boy Ikey down to Jim
Scullon's barn to find out what 1t
would cost to keep the animal.
The boy came back and told his
father Mr.. Scullon's price was 500
per month. ''Och, mine Got, dem
are millionaire's prices, Ikey, you
shust go back to Scullon and get
his best price. So Ikey comes back
with a look of success on his face,
and says, Father, Mr.. Scullon's
best price is only SIC per month";
That's leetle better, key, but
that's too much, you go back to
Scullon and get his very best cash
price," Ikey comes back this time
and says, Father, Scullun's very
best cash price is only twelf dollars
per MONTH ''But, Ikey, mine
son." says the father, that's too
much. Scullon always haf three
prices, you go back and get Mr..
Scullon's rock bottom price," This
time key came running back and
says, Father, Scullon's rock bottoms
price is only eight dollars per
month" ''Vel, now Ikey, my boy,
OATS about right, but you go back
to Scullon and find what he will
allow tor the manure" The boy
came back, shaking his head and
says, Father, Scullon will allow
nothing for the manure" why,
Ikey?" sVel, father, Mr.. Scullon
said at eight dollars per months
there wouldn't be any manure"

Practical Arithmetic.

A school teacher received the fol-
lowing from complaining parent
few days ago:
Sir:-Will you for the future give
my boy some easier somes to do
mites. This is what he brought
home tire mites ago: If fore gallons
of bere will fill thirty to pint bottles,
how many pint and half bottles
will nine gallons fill. Well, we tried
and could make nothing of it, and
my boy cried and said he would not
60 back without 1T. So I had to go
and buy nine gallon keg of bere
which | could i'll afford to do, and
then we went and borrowed lot of
wine and brandy bottles, beside
few we had by us. Well we emptied
the keg into the bottles and there
were nineteen, and my boy put that
down for an answer, I don't know
whether that is rite or not, and we
split some in doing it.
P S.-Please let the next one be
water as / am not able to buy any
more bere.
