Albert Butcher was born in Weurt-
temburg, Germany, and came to the
United States in 1890 to take position
in Columbus, Ohio. From there he
went to Chicago, Ills, and worked.
After remaining there for time he
again made a change of location,
going to the South st. Paul stock
yards. Next he located in Salt Lake
City, going from there to Pasadena,
California, and then to Anaconda,
Montana, finally coming to Sank
Centre May the 25th, 1898. His
experience in so many different parts
of the United States, for he at all
times kept his eyes and ears open,
naturally made him one of the most
expert meat men in the country and
as his grandfather and father were
both in the market business he
naturally took to the trade.
On his arrival in Sank Centre he
purchased the meat market of George
Jenkins located in the Vessy building
on Third street and he did a flourish
ing business from the first. Six
months after mis- arrival in Sank
Centre he purchased the n. w. Rice
building opposite the Vessy building
on Third street where he confined the
meat business. Finding his quarters
to narrow for his constantly increasing
trade, on Jan. LIST, 1904 he purchased
of w. S. Smith, Appleton, Wisconsin,
the brick block corner of Main and
Third streets and this spring he fitted
up the north half of the same for his
business, Transforming it into the
most complete, the best equipped and
best stocked meat market west of the
twin cities. In his new location Mr.
Butcher is better prepared than ever to
cater to the wants of his numerous
customers. The market is equipped
on the ground floor with thoroughly
modern cold storage, a neat office and
all the paraphernalia of city market
In addition to this he has large cold
storage in the basement.
Mr., Butcher is a business man pure
and simple, keen, alert, without frills,
and possesses complete knowledge
of every phase of the meat business,
personally superintends every depart
ment so that it has become a common
saving in Sank Centre and vicinity
"That if it comes from Bucher's it is
good"

CHAT WITH THE BARBER.

mo" said the barber Il never knew
OF a man that cut his own hair, but
know a man who trims his own beard.
He Is a very good customer OF mine;
/ have cut his hair for years, but he
trims his own beard.
He wears only short pointed beard
on his chin. trimming the sides of his
face closely. He never could get
barber to trim his beard exactly as he
wanted ii and so he took TO trimming
1t himself. He bought himself clip
per for the sides of his face, and then
with a pair OF shears he was all
equipped.
He trims his beard every day and
he makes "A pretty good job OF 1t, a
barber could tell that it was hand-cut,
so 20 speak. but you couldn't tell that
now so easily as you could at first, be-
cause he's improved in his work, and
now he turns out pretty good Job.
So there's one man, anyway, that
trims his own beard, but l never knew
anybody that cut his own hair.

and plenty Of men own Two or three
razors. But one razor will DO very
well II it's good one.
What about the idea that & man
ought TO have more than one razor, 50
that he can use a razor one day and
then let II rest day-that a razor inn
proves by resting? Well, I don't take
much stock in that idea.

he's got 1t in proper condition, It will

Don't / use the same razor many
times a day? Sure. What you want
is a good razor, in good order, and
you can shave with such a razor any
time.
Difference in razors? Why, GER
tainiy. Some razors wear well and
keep their edge and some don't. You
might buy two razOrS at the same

THE COREY CASE.

1t begins 10 look as if William Ellis
Corey, president of the United States
Steel corporation. would not be forced
cut Of his oh1ce. after all, as was more
than limited a few weeks ago when
the stories of his scandaIous treatment
Of his wife We're made PUBLIC. The
newspapers. it win be remembered,
have had many stories about Mr.. Co
reg. They have told in detail how
Corey rose from poverty to great
wealth; how in his struggling days his
wife was faithful helpmeet; how.
when he had attained wealth and po-
sition, he met a chorus girl and for
got the wife of his youth.
Mr.. Corey's business associates were
said to look upon him with great cold
ness. 1t was said that they thoroughly
/ disapproved Of his course; that they
had showed their disapproval by snub-
bing him publicly, and that at the first
opportunity he would be discharged
from the steel trust presidency. All of
/ this must have been mighty unpleas-
/ ant reading for the Coreys, but the
public was unanimous In condemninr
the man, unanimous in upholding the
wife.
Now the talk has died away and It
is said there is a good and sufficient
reason for II. There are chapters In
the lives of some of the men who have
been denouncing Corey that those men
would not like to have disclosed To the
world. Corey is familiar with these
chapters. Report has it that if he is

ANOTHER ATTORNEY ElREp.

Irving Baxter, United States district
attorney for Nebraska, has been dis
missed from Office by President Roose-
Welt under circumstances that must
impress the observer as odd and UNI
usual. TO put 1t mildly. The reason as
signed Tor the removal of Baxter is
that he did not work hard enough in
The prosecution Of some. gentlemen az
cused Of land frauds. Yet Mr.. Baxter
secured the conviction of the defend
ants. and convictions, we have been
led TO believe, constitute the best test
OF q prosecuting attorneys ability.
1t is quite true that the court i'm
posed a very light penalty-si1 hours
in the custody OF the United States
marshal This penalty was further
lightened by the marshal when he per-
mitted the defendants to remain in the
custody OF their attorneys during the
siX-hour period, an act for which the
marshal was subsequently removed
from Office by the president.
But the point that instantly occurs
10 fair-minded people is; Was the dis
trict attorney responsible for the light
sentence? From the facts at hand we
should emphatically say ne was not
responsible. He could not compel the
court TO send the defendants TO Jail for
IL term Of years or fine them some
thousands OF dollars. The response
bility. after the jury had returned a
verdict Of guilty, was entirely with the
Judge. President Roosevelt could not
discharge the judge, however much he.
might have liked To take such a step.
80 he was guilty OF the unspeakable
meanness, in his disappointment, OF re-
moving the one man he could reach
the district attorney.
Now. it has only been a little while
since another United States district at
tOrney for Nebraska was summarily
Kicked out Of his place. This was Dis
rict Attorney Somers, and though the
real reason was never given, il was
,-geuerally understood Mr.. Somers was
removed because he was too vigorous
in his prosecution OF Dietrich, then a
United States senator from Nebraska.
Tor irregular practices. Dietrich sub
sequently escaped punishment because
of a technicality, but that was not the
fault OF SOmers.
Ii seems TO US, and it viii doubtless
seem TO most people, that MIR. Roose-
Welt is grossly unfair 10 his district
attorneys. He should indicate 10 them
ia some way the course Of action he
wants them 10 follow; in short. he
should tell them explicitly when he
wants "a defendant convicted aud when
he wants one acquitted. The attor-
ueys are only human. Roosevelt. the
supreme arbiter of right and wrong,
the last court OF appeal in the United
states ana the world, should in all
fairness help his prosecutors out.
