er's crops and overrunning his fields.
And after little reflection one is.
apt to get the idea there is a reason
for this annual report, other than
the mere news 1t purports to carry.
Nor it is hard to understand what
this reason is, especially to those
who know something of the districts
where the wild deer breed and roam
and where the hunters annually
gather in considerable numbers
each fall during the open season to
try their luck. AS a general thing
these deer hunters are city men
who expect to and do spend a con-
siderable amount on their annual
outing after venison. Most of them,
in fact, are ererously lavish with
their expenses while on a deer
hunt, and they scatter the coin of
the realm right and left among the
natives of the sections where they
conduct their hunting operations.
frequently they engage board with
the local farmers and pay the latter
good round prices for the same, and
the farmers and their sons are al
ways in demand as guides and COM
panions during the hunt. Many
an honest dollar is picked up, in
this way by these northern farmers
and in most instances it probably
much more than recompenses them.
for any loss of crops that may
occur through the ravages of the,
deer,
AS matter Of fact these annual
reports Of the deer being so numer-
Gus and despOiling the crops of the
farmers are nothing more or less
than "comeOn" intended to lure
the city hunters to the northern
woods with the expectation of find
ing the deer running about in droves
like sheep. When the hunter ar
rives on the scene, however, he is
apt to find the deer are just about
as acarce and shy as ever, and he is
RECALLED with the usual stories of
how the clearings were filled with
the animals last week or the week
before, but how, for some reason or
other, they have now vanished.
Nevertheless the city man paws his
good money for his entertainment
and the assistance of the farmers,
and after a week or more of ardu-
Gus work IN the woods trying to get
sight of the elusive game, he fire.
quently is compelled to resort to the
old pracUice of buying a deer or
two from some local nimrod who.
has been more lucky. But the.
whole thing helps out the thrifty
northern farmer, who annually
raises a crop of deer stories along
with his other crops.

Obituary-Lothro

The Herald is in receipt of copy
of the st. Paul (Neb } Republican,
which contains notice of the death
and a biographical sketch of Mrs.
Geo. Z. Lothrop, who died Oct. oath.
Husband of deceased is a son of
venerable Jason Lathrop of this
city and he was in Lancaster not
many weeks ago.
The article is as follows:
Miss Caroline Richards was born
in Platteville, Wis, Nov, %, 1843,
and died at her home in ST. Paul,
Neb., Oct. "a, 1906.
Miss Richard lived in her native
state till she arrived at maturity
when she was married to George
G. Lothrop, at Jamestown, Wis.
March 25, 1886, and lived there one
year. Moved to Lancaster, Wis,
lived there six years, then in 1878
she, with her husband moved to
Nebraska, settling on a farm near
st. Paul.
Two children have been born to
them, Ollie, now the wife of John
Gilman of South Omaha and Walter
G. whose home is in this city. Be-
sides her husband and children Mrs.
Lothrop leaves two sisters and one
brother, Mrs. Emaline Moore, a
twin sister of the deceased, living
in Green Bay, Wis, Mrs. Louise
Steel of Nashville, Tenn, and John
Richards living in Colorado.
Mrs. Lothrop joined the Metho-
dist church in Wisconsin, but hav-
ing bad health for many years has
not been active in church work or
in social life. She was true woman
and enjoyed the respect and esteem
of all who knew her.
The funeral service was held in
her late home conducted by Rev.
Underwood, pastor of the Metho-
dist church in this city. The re-
mains were followed by a large
number of her friends to Elmwood
cemetery where she rests in peace.

REFLECTIONS.
The tower clock fund is slowly
but steadily increasing, thanks to
the liberality of the donors. The
above accusation of the Fennimore
Times has been repeated several
times by residents against the ''soli-
citor'' There is truth in it, but he
is not the least discouraged by it.
He does not wish to lay the burden
on a few, but wishes to give every
body a chance to do something,
because the timepiece will be &C
cessable to all. A few others say:
THE clock should be on the court
house." He also says, that it should
have been placed on the court
house. But since it has rot been.
placed there and, perhaps, will not
in years to come, he has laid the
burden upon himself to procure one

Just Before the Deer Season.

A report from the northern woods
says that deer are so numerous this
fall they are iljuring the crops of
the farmers and proving a general
nuisance. 1t is explained that the
deer show decided fondness for
root crops, while for variety they
indulge their appetites by feasting
on the corn that is left out in the
fields in shocks. And the dispatch
goes on to say that ''The farmers
can do nothing to end the trouble, as
the law forbide killing the animals
and it is impossible to fence against
them without great expense"
Naturally the first impulse is to
sympathize with these poor,
struggling settlers who have located
in the northern timber districts and
are striving to carve out little
homes for themselves. Any con-
siderable damage to their crops
necessarily mean a serious setback
to them, and so one feels it is a rank
injustice to have a law which pre-
vents them from having little
fresh venison occasionally to help
out their scanty larder. and especial
ly as their own crops are going to
fatten and make this same venison.
On the other hand, however, one
recalls that every fall, just previ-
Gus to the opening of the deer hunt
ing season this same report is made
about the deer eating up the farm

WHAT WILL IT BE.
Scientists PrOgnOsticate a Long, Sc
we're Winter Before Us.

Just at this season of the year
everyone is more or less interested
In speculations as to what kind of a
winter we are to have. For a num-
Der of years the winter seasons IN
this country have been of the mild
and open" kind. In fact this has
been the condition so long that
some have been led to the belief
our seas ons are changing, and vari-
Gus reasons have been advanced to
support this argument. Neverthe-
less old-timers whose memories run
back for several decades recall the
fact that So called open winters are
nothing new in this country, and
even when they follow in sequence
it proves nothing more than that it
is impossible to forecast the next
winter by the one which went be-
fore it. In other words it has hap
pened in the past that mild and
open winters have often been fol-
lowed by seasons of the utmost
severity, and so the weather sharps
shaks their heads om1nously when
reminded of past mild winters and
are generally inclined to predict
that such conditions cannot last.
According to The Wall Street
Journal the scientists expect hard
winter this year. They declare that
all past records indicate unusually
severe temperature for the next six
months. They say this has been
the experience at about the be-
ginning of each half century for
hundreds of years, and always has
been preceded by very hot sum-
mer, like the one just past. Natural
disturbances, they also declare,
presage hot summers and cold
winters. The San Francisco and
Valparaiso earthquakes, the Hong
kong typhoon, the gulf cyclones, at
Mobile and in Cuba, and important
recent reflections of the gulf stream
are ali straws which, in their esti-
nation, point to the probable
recurrence this year of Une Of those
old fashioned winters famous for
deep SHOWS. prolonged cold and gen.
eral severity.
Possibly these scientists are cor
rect in their weather prognOstlca-
tions, and at least it is true that
their predictions are quite general
~ supported this year by the total
prophets who rely on the quantity
of husks on the corn, the thickness
of the muskrat houses, the thick
ness Of nut shells and coverings, the
breastbone of the goose, etc. And
even the price of coal this year is
regarded by some, perhaps, as a
certain indication of long, hard
winter. At the same time it is
merely speculation at the best, and
no one knows with any defniteness
Just what kind of winter we are
to have. A few weeks more, how
ever, will tell the story, and wheth-
er it is to be an ''old-time" Or an
other of our recent mild and open
winters the people will live through
it Just the same and be ready to
welcome spring when the latter sea-
son returns with it's fruits and
flowers and balmy weather. In
fact this is about the only sure thing
in regard to winter-it cannot last
always and when it goes it brings
another season that instils in the
whole world feeling of joy and
happiness, and an appreciation OF
the delights of spring and summer
that other would be unknown.
