A Grant County Man Heard From.

Atty. r. D. Blanchard, formerly
of Boscobel, but now located in the
PHILIPPINE Islands, where he has
been since the Spanish American
war, writes letter to the Herald,
telling Of his success in his chosen
profession. He says he has had
more real law practice the past year
than in all his former experience.
Hardly week passes, he says, but
what he has a case at least in the
Supreme Court. Last year he
prosecuted over $50 Ladrone chiefs
in the court of first instance Circuit
Court In these cases there were
II death sentences, 10 life imprison-
ments, and the rest ranging 40 30
25 and 20 years. These cases, he
states, are now being argued be-
fore the Supreme Court.
Atty. Blanchard was we'll known
here in Lancaster, having practiced
law for several years. At the
breaking out of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, he was the leading spirit
IN organizing a company, which
was composed of men from all over
Grant county, and for such service
he was given a lieutenancy in the
company. At the close Of the war,
he went to the PHILIPPINE Islands in
tho SaIvica of the oOVarnmant He
is still connected with the military
arm of the government, and also
the judicial, as he is the district at
torney where he is located. His
many friends here in Lancaster and
throughout the county will be glad
to hear Of his success. and all will
join with the HERALD in wishing
him lifelong prosperity,

Economy in a Warm Autumn.

While these beautiful days are
passing, carrying lovely Indian
summer along into the very lap of
winter, few people realize that
thousands upon thousands of dol
lars are saved and expenses of thou
sands upon thousands are avoided
and rendered unnecessary by the
pleasant weather.
No little money is saved by rea-
son of the absence of the need of
winter garments, but this economy
is not so important as others, for
the clothing man, the manufacturer
and dealer all have to live and if
pleasant weather ruins the winter
clothing trade it means hardship to
a class of business men and work
ers. But the winter will come later
and these will have their inning
yet. Then too, it is we'll to remem-
Der that there are more consumers
than sellers, and the greatest good
to the greatest number is admittedly
sound doctrine.
A large saving is the economy of
fuel. This is more important, vastly
so, than the saving of heavy winter
overcoats, furs, and cloaks, if the
fall is warm and is followed, as it
must be, by cold winter weather.
The aggregate of expenditures for
winter garments is not greatly less
ened, for the clothes cost nearly as
much when purchased in December
as in October. But the saving of
ton of coal or a cord of wood by
reason of mild autumn and late
winter weather comes nearer to
being a permanent saving.

The Sixtieth Congress.

The sixtieth Congress will have
391 and possibly 1913 members. The
new state of Oklahoma is certain to
be admitted and elect five members
OF the house. If Arizona and New
Mexico accept joint statehood there
will be two members from that
state. The Republicans have $50
members in the seth Congress, or a
majority of ia. TO overturn this
majority the Democrats will have
to win So districts now held by the
Republicans. The Democrats will
have one advantage in 100 seats
from the South which will not be
contested, because political con-
tests have not been allowed in the
South for many years. There is
always a serious handicap on the
Republican party because of an
unequal contest in the North where
there is free bs Hot and fair
count. This compells the Republi-
cans to carry two-thirds of the
membership of the house III the
North and West, while the Demo
Gratis have to make a fight for only
one-third in order to secure con-
troll of the House of Representatives.
This handicap to the Republicans
should be reminder to every voter
who believes in the policies of the
present administration. The en-
dorsment of President Roosevelt
can only be secured by the election
of a Republican Congress. The
election of a Democratic Congress
would be a reputation of the Presi-
dents administration and the
policies it rep esents.
The contest has already taken
shape, not only to policies but as to
men. On the one side is the en-
dorsement of the Roosevelt Admin
istrat1on, the present prosperous
condition of the country, and the
legislation enacted for rate regula-
ton. On the other side is the re-
pudiation of Republican policies,
and railway rate regulation, and the
advocacy of the socialistic dogma
IF Government ownership of rail-

ways. There is the same division
as to men. On one side are Speaker
Cannon and members of the Presi-
dents cabinet, advocating on the
stump the continuance of present
policies. On the other side is Will
liam Jennings BRYAN, opposing
these policies and as ain advocating
Socialistic doctrines ever more
radical than he did in 1896. The
issue is with the voters Of the North
and West, and they must elect two
Representatives to one Democrat
in order that there will be an even
chance to overcome the handicap of
the Solid South and its 100 Demo
cratic members without any con-
test at the polls.
Always with one idea uppermost
namely, the greatest good for the
greatest num- Der, with fairness for
all, Theodore Roosevelt has since
his succession to the Presidency,
and since his election, been indie
fatigable in his efforts to give the
people of every section and every
class and administration that only
GROWERS and croakers can criticise.
His recommendations have been
carried out by Congress TO an un-
precedent degree, and much re-
mains for the second session of the
Fifty ninth Congress which should
be in both branches Republican, IN
order that the desires of the Presi-
dent may be carried out to the
fullest extent.
I'VE have prospered marvelouslY
at home. AS a nation we stand in
the very forefront in the giantinter-
national competition of the day.
We cannot afford, by any freak or
folly, to forfeit the position to which
we have thus triumpantly attained.
President Roosevelt.

She lived in the second ward and
hired two men to help with the
house cleaning. ''These picture
frames should be cleaned" she said.
''Yes'm," answered one of the men,
if you get us some whiskey it would
be an easy job. 1t is the finest
thing in the world to clean with. "
II will send down a bottle OF
whiskey 1 have upstairs" she re-
piled. The men washed the frames
with soap and water and drank the
whiskey. The frames were bright
and glistened and the lady was
pleased. "And so whiskey made
those frames so Clean" she SAID.
''Yes'm, whiskey did it," answered
one of the men. And just 10
think" said the lady. i came near
throwing that whiskey away. L

fore he died, you know"

An aspiring young lady residing
in Lancaster desires to write poetry
for the Herald. She says her friends
tell her she possesses rare talent
and she is DESTROYS of learning for a
certainty whether or not her
''pomes" are really what they are
cracked up as being. Here is one
which Mary Chats her nance sub
mits:
Old Mother Hubbard went TO the cup
board
To get her dog an oyster stew;
But when she got there the cupboard
was bare,
So the poor dog had to skidoo.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-10-24

Here is another, the inspiration
for which, Mary explains, arose
from an actual occurrence:
Little Jack Hogg lost his dog
And he thought his heart would burst,
But he let him alone and Towser came
home
When the butcher delivered some
weinerwurst.
Mary says the latter effort is her
wurst, explaining that her o-her
pl oductlons are more classical and
better adapted to aesthetic tastes.
Send them on, Mary, by all means.

A third ward resident, given to
brief sessions of bibulousness, was
returning home from one of these a
few nights ago, revolving in his be-
clouded mind growing determine
ton not to disturb his wife. On
reaching the house, after numerous
detours from the curb to the house
wall, he was successful in finding
the keyhOle, and, after careful
effort, he succeeded in navigating
his way upstairs. Here he saw, or
thought he saw, in the dim light
which the electric lamp outside shed
through the window, his five months
old baby, sitting up in a rocker,
while his wife was comfortably
sleeping in the bed beyond Softly
creeping over to the rocker, he took
the baby in his arms and began to
rock her tc sleep, when his wife
awakened. John" she said, What
are you doing there?" 'Sh, m'dear, :"
whispered John. I'm rocking baby
to Sleep" ''Baby's been asleep for
over an hour" said the patient wife,
reproachfully. John, put down
that doll and come to bed. rather
think you need a little Sleep"

intention of cultIvating it, we're

force of mounted aud foot police and
ten borough councillors. The tent they
bad erected as we'll as the red flag they
had raised above il were removed. The
leader chung to the flag until he was

quietly. The land seized was in Plaistow

New York stock Market.

New York, Aug I'll a. m.-Room
traders said that they took their medicine
this morning. According to their own
story they followed the upward move
ment too long, aud we're loaded with
long stock that was thrown on the mar
ket by what were regarded as bull lead
ers earlier in the week. After the first
few minutes the market became quiet
and during the greater part Of the hrst
hour business was entirely professional
and confined to the floor of the exchange.
The market movement was downward
from the opening, aud de- lines were
limited to fractions on the high priced
issues like Great Northern, which adj
vanced slightly. Anaconda sustained
a loss of IA points. Brokers watching
the trading said there was a good strong
understone, but that there was no in
centive for further aggressive buying.
The absence OF London business was
blamed for part of the lack of interest
in the trading here. Government bonds
were unchanged.

little Apples on Grape Vine.

Bethlehem, Pa, August An the
yard of the home of William j. Fink
there is a freak growth that has aroused
the wonder of all who have seen it. A
low, slender branch of grape vine has
put forth two clusters of three each of a
lruit resembling an apple. The pres
ence Of large apple tree few rods away
has led sonle to believe that the growth
on the grape vine is a product of m ing
ling of apple and grape pollen. Others
who have seen freak apples regard them
of the result of the singing of the vine
by some insect. The apples are now
about as large as small crab apples. They
lack we'll defined stem, growing close
10 the vine.
