Why so many people question

Why it is that all of the political

Why good-natured criticism is
the only kind man ever dishes out

PASSING AWAY.
But Few of the Boys in Blue will be
Living Ten Years Hence.

The American Order of Nobility, y
as the Grand Army of the Republic
is affectionately called, will, before
many more years have passed away,
be thing OF the past. The order
was at its height, SO far as member
ship is concerned, in 1890, when 400,
489 members were enrolled. Since
then death has. claimed more and
more each year, until last year the
total membership was 6,261.
During the past ten years the death
rate has increased from SO in every
10, 900 in 1898, to 352 in 1904. This
grand body of men, who saved the
nation in the sixties, is passing
away, and it never can be recruited,
for only the soldiers, sailors and
marines who took part in that
struggle for freedom are eligible for
membership.
Next year will be the fortieth
anniversary of the founding of the
order, and it is entirely within the
probabilities that there Will not be a
fiftieth anniversary, or, If there is,
it will be celebrated by but few, a
very few, survivors. The average
age of the male members of the
Wisconsin Veterans Home is now
siXty-seven, eleven years more, and
there will be but handful of civil
war veterans there.
In view of these facts, it is pleas
ing to notice that the burden of
celebrating Memorial day is being
taken up by the younger generation.
We Go not mean burden in the
sense that it is a task, but in the
meaning that it is duty which the
rising generation is ready and will
ing to lift from the shoulders of the
veterans who are left, and assume
with all it's lessons Of patriotism and
loyaly. Memorial day is being rec
ognized, more and more, as a
solemn occasion, upon which a
requiem should be said as the
flowers are strewn upon the graves
OF the valiant dead, and not as a
holiday of rejoicing, to be cele-
brated by games and sports.
Each year the number of mounds
to be covered with flowers is larger;
each year the mission of covering
them is done more willingly, with
greater feeling, and with deeper
reverence. 1t is rare treat which
the American people have, that of
gratitude, and still rarer, is that
wonderful unanimity of feeling
which makes this day national
commemoration of a peoples pride.

BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Parties who Burglarized CassvilIe
Store Caught at Onalaska.

Sheriff Glenn is deserving of COM
mendat1on for the able manner IN
which he took up the chase of the
parties who attempted to blow the
safe IN Klindt- Geiger's store at Glass;
vile last week.
The officer followed them to
Prairie du Chen, thence to La
Crosse where a clue was obtained
and pair Of bad men were cap
tured at Onalaska on the following
day that are undoubtedly the guilty
parties.
One of the young men is known
here and was employed at the
Grand Central hotel last fall while
John Jeide was in charge. His
name is Glenn Menzemer. His COM
panion is dark, swarthy APP
pearing fellow who refuses to
divulge his name and Menzemer is
also non committal on this subject.
The pair never expected arrest

easily captured. After being con-
fined they secreted several safe draw
ings, skeleton keys, etc., in the
mattress of their cell, which was
found by the officers. They do not
deny being in Cassville on the day
preceding the night of the at
tempted safe blowing, but deny
having had any part in the affair.
The safe was SO badly damaged
by the explosion that an expert
from the factory was sent for to
open it and the doors were shipped
to the factory for repairs
The preliminary hearing Of the
defendants will probably be held
here Monday.

Bear Killed IN Richland County.

While President Roosevelt and his
band of hunters were chasing bear
in Colorado, Richland county farm
ers residing IN Sylvan and Marshall
were doing similar stunts, which
resulted Tuesday il the killing of a
black bear in the town of Marshall
near the farm of VIM. Kepler. The
bear weighed about 1S5 pounds and
showed the lack of food, and had it
been well fed would have weighed
close to 300. The animal was first
noticed east of the spot where it was
killed and a band of men armed
with guns started in pursuit. A
pack of dogs were put on the trail
and it wasn't long before they had
the bruin freed. The hunters soon
caught up and killed the bear.
In early days bears we're rather
common animals IN Richland county
but it is many day since one has
been seen in this locality. The sec
ton In which the bear was killed,
Tuesday, is rather thickly settled.
Some thirty men formed the band
which killed the bruin. It is said
the bear went through Rockbridge
about noon together with a cub.
Efforts were made to kill it but it
eluded pursuit and made it's escape
for the time being only to be killed
later in Marshall.

Trade at home and you will

HARVEST IN WOLF CUBS,
Ben Mckinney of Patch Grove Has
Captured AZ Thus Far This Season.

Ben Mckinney was in from Patch
Grove Wednesday with eight young
wolf cubs for which he received the
legal bounty of S. each or $48. Will
Jolce of Beetown was associated
with him in the capture.
Mr.. Mckinney Informed a Her
aid reporter that he had captured
AZ young cubs thus far this spring.
OF this number SO were secured in
Crawford county where the bounty
is $40, making his receipts over
there $500.
He had chances to kill the old
wolves but made no effort to do so,
stating that the bounty was not
sufficient. Mr.. McKinny said that
the bounty on old female wolves
should be placed at $50 each and
that the pest would then soon be ex.
terminated.
He was willing to wager 800 that
he knew Of one old she void that
had already cost Grant county $500
IN bounty, to say nothing of the
depredations performed on the
farmers in destruction of stock.
One of his valuable wolf hounds
was bitten by a rattlesnake the
other day and nearly died from the
effects. The canine was given the
best of care and while still unable
to put his injured foot to the
ground will probably get around all
right soon.

-''Do you know" said local
jeweler to a Herald representative
the other day, that of the large
number of watches taken to the
matchmaker TO be cleaned, about
90 per cent on the average, belong
to men? A woman's watch seldom
requires over-hauling. That is be-
cause she wears no waist coat. The
waist coat pocket used by most men
as watchholder is usually a
scavenger box in miniature. Into it
drift dust, cigar ashes and floss
from clothing, until it becomes a
veritable mush heap. The stuff
finds it's way easily through the
setting and between the outer and
inner case, and the watch goes
wrong. People talk about the
atmosphere being responsible for
the watch cleaning industry, but
you just turn your vest pocket in
side out and see what you find
there"
