A FAMOUS ORATOR

Hon. Oliver w. Stewert, of Chicago,
delivered temperance Grafton at the
Methodist church, Friday afternoon.
The audience was large one which
was remarkable considering the in
convenience of the hour at which the
speaker was compelled to appear,
owing to his other engagements.
The argument produced by Mr.
Stewart in favor of the prohibition of
the distillation and manufacture of
liquors was logical and to the point.
The pleasing manner in which he
handled his subject was cemmendable
and many expressed the desire to have
him return to this city at some future
date, and at an hour when it would be
convenient for more people to hear
him. Mr.. Stewert is distinguished
for being the only prohibitionist ever
elected to the legislature of Illinois,
and is unquestionably one of the
greatest of living orators.

OUT FOR SECRE-
TARY OF STATE
Senator Frear's Friends are
Starting Early to Boom His
Candidacy For That Important
Office.

A letter dated from Hudson, Wis,
was signed by the members of the
Joint Republican County Committee
of st. Croix and Pierce counties has
been received at this office, in which
the announcement of the candidacy of
Senator James A. Frear, for secretary
of state, is made.
Senator Frear, is too we'll known to
the people of the state to need an in
PRODUCTION, but the following excerpt
from the letter mentioned above will
recall a number of the bills with
which he has been closely identified
during his legislative career:
During the last session Senator
Frear introduced or actively sup
ported bills known as So Senate, de.
signed to extend limited exemption
from taxation to certain veterans of
the civil war, the state railway com.
mission bill; the co-employee bill; 696
Assembly, requiring life insurance
companies 10 distribute dividends to
policy holders; the two cent pas.
senger rate bill and many other bills
of equal Importance.
In recognition of: his integrity anG
ability the last Wisconsin legislature
unanimously selected Senator Freal
for the responsible position of chair
man of the insurance Investigation
committee.
Governor La Toilette in his speech
at Glenwood, September 9, 1904, SAID
Every vote he cast in the assembly
was cast in the interest of the people.
He is man you can trust and who
| will not misrepreSent."

WILL INSTALL
WATER WORKS
Calvary Cemetery May Have a
Complete System OF Water
Works in the Near Future.

A committe has been appointed by
the management of Calvary cemetery
to ascertain the cost and advisability
of installing complete and indepen.
dent system of water works. In the
three years past it has been found
almost impossible to- keep the graves
and lots in the cemetery in the proper
shape owing to the lack of water
No matter how much care is given tC
the grass and flowers they suffer fol-
the want of this element. This mat.
ter has been under discussion several
times but never before has it been
met with SO universal desire to pro.
vide the necessary supply. Now, how.
eyer, it is thought that a pumping
plant will be installed, with a gaso-
line engine for power, and a proper
system of piping to all portions OF
the grounds. The expense for such a
system as is suggested will not be
small, but it is thought that the i'm
provement will warrant the outlay.
The reports Of the committee will be
awaited with much interest on the
part of those having loved ones buried
there.
John Nimtz, who was employed
last year by the cemetery trustees has
been re-engaged for this season. and
will begin work as soon as the frost is
out Of the ground.

CRIMINAL ACTION
AGAINST TIMBER THIEVES

The State Board Of Forestry at a
meeting held a pril 9 passed the follow
ing resolution:
''That in view of the statement by
the State Forester that during the
past winter there has been consider
able timber tresspass on state forest
reserve lands, and that as in the past
it has been the custom throughout
the state to settle with trespassers on
payment Of the actual stumpage value
and as such procedure has tended to
encourage treSpass, therefore, it is
resolved by the State Board of
Forestry that hereafter the board
viii ask the District Attorney of the
county in which the trespaSs is COM
mitted to bring criminal action
against the trespaSser in addition to
such damages as may be collected
under the civil liability for forest
treSpaSs."
The state board of forestry thought
it was only just and right to give due
notice to all who might be tempted to
commit trespass on state forest
reserve lands. 1t is high time that
timber trespaSsers were treated just
the same as other classes of thieves
and few convictions viii make this
road to quick riches not quite so easy
to travel.
The fine for the criminal action in
this misdemeanOr is notices. than S25
or more than 81 1000, or fifteen days
imprisonment as minimum, and
| three years as a maximum, or both
| fine and Imprisonment. Besides this
the law provides for the recovery of
damages in civil action.
