OCTOBER WEATHER

Rev. Irl r Hicks, the st. Louis
weather prophet, predicts weather for
October as being terror to contem-
plate. He says: A reactionary storm
period is in progress at the opening
of October, with combination of as
tronomic causes centering on the first
half of the month that must, in all
reasonable probability, bring abnorm-
al perturbations. The probabilities are
that the reactionary storms in pro-
gress as October comes in will reach
their elimination on and touching the
End.
The regular storm period charted
from the End to the 7th, will take up
the disturbances and renew and pro-
long them during the first week of the
month.
A regular storm period covers the
18th to the Doth. In all probability
this will prove one of the most severe
and dangerous storm periods of this
month, if not the whole autumn. Many
sections will be visited with violent
gales, snow and marked change to
colder over northern sections.

A GREAT CONVENTION
Is Brought to Immediate Action
by the Eloquence of Our Dis
trict Attorney.

Atty. Theodore W. Brazeau, candi-
date for the State Senate on the Re
publican ticket from this district,
sprang into the lime light by his
timely and vigorous speech at the
Madison convention. Senator San
born had made his speech against w.
ID. Connor for chairman" says the
Milwaukee Sentinel, in commenting
on the incident.
Then came the unexpected. A con-
yention surprise in the nature of a
painstaking speech, straight from the
shoulder, without subterfuge and
political concealment. A champion
arose for Connor in the person of
Theodore w. Brazeau, candidate for
the state senate in Wood County dis
trict. There was no word or name
mentioned in what the young speaker
had to say. There were no frills, but
it afforded one of the greatest con-
ventiOn scenes ever witnessed in this
state.
1.-The speaker made the convention sit
up and take notice by first paying his
respects to Senator Sanborn. dispos-
ing of his arguments and showing
what all the manipulation attempted
by the La Follette-Lenroot forces
under the leadership OF Sanborn
amounted to. He did not mince
matters in his handling of the subject.
The speaker reviewed the record made
by Connor. He was repeatedly
cheered.

MUST LABEL GOODS

The new law governing the sale of
canned meats, went into effect Monday,
and hereafter the person who buys a
smoked ham, can of potted chicken,
roast of beef, he or she may be certain
that it has been prepared from animals
that are free from disease and if it be
by-product that is being purchased,
an inspection of the label will
tell what is contained in the compound
After today no more cottonseed oil
and oleo stearine will masquerade
under the name of "Snow Drift" for
whatever it may be, it will be followed
by an inscription stating its compost
ton.
Uncle Sam has decided = that
the packer who desires to sell a sub
stitute for lard, without announcing
the fact will be liable to heavy pen
atty. Potted chicken made from bob
veal will be thing of the past. Potted
chicken will be potted chicken, unless
otherwise specified on the label. If
not, the firm preparing the pro-
duct will be amenable to the laws
of the United States to the tune of
$40, 900 fine, or Imprisonment for not
more than two years, or both.
Sausage labeled as such may con-
tain other meats than pork, but pack
ages labeled 'spork sausage will con-
tain nothing else or the maker will be
subject to punishment. So-called pork
sausage containing potato -four or
other ingredients will be illegal unless
the label expressly states this fact and
then the word pure must be
omitted.
Shoulders and butts under the name
picnic ham will be forbidden. 1t will
be labeled what it is, and no fancy
name will bring it to the table of an
unsuspecting purchaser.

NEITHER TEAM SCORED
Stevens Point Normal Team
Find Lincoln High Difficult
Proposition.

The first football game of the sea-
son between the Normal and Grand
Rapids High School teams, was called
shortly after o'clock Saturday after
noon. Grand Rapids had the ball
and east goal. Arpin kicked about
twenty-five yards. The Normal team
started down the field rapidly unit
Grand Rapids took brace and three
times compelled the Normals to punt.
This kept the ball in the VISITORS
territory most of the first half. Grand
Rapids seemed to be the quicker of
the two teams and made its gains by
straight football, once being COM
PEELED to punt. The score at the end
of the first half stood too.
In the second half neither side
scored.
The game was very poorly attended,
though the spectators were much en-
thused after each play.

A BIG BUFFALO DANCE"
The WinnebaSo Tribe Of Indians
Gather for Unique Ceremony
Near Cranmoor.


Sunday morning Sept. %, the word
was passed over the cranberry marshes
that the Winnebago Indians, en-
plOyed on the various marshes, were
gathering for a Buffalo Dance
about one half mile south of Gran
moor. All along the roads, over the
dams crossing the marshes, and
across every open field, members of
this tribe could be seen Looping along
on their ponies all the morning. By
two O'Clock in the afternoon over one
hundred and fifty of the tribe had
gathered on an open field half way
between the Arpin marsh and the
Cranmoor station. A long narrow
tent had been erected, and taken to-
gether with the numerous little tents
for the accommodation of the families
of those Winnebagoes who were to
participate in the dance, the ap-
pearance of the Indian village of a
number of years ago was presented.
At 2:30 sharp the Buffalo Dance"
began and il was continued all the
afternoon and all night that night.
While it was tireSome observance to
the three hundred or more white
people who gathered from miles
around to witness it, it was interest
ing TO the uniniUiated.
AT the center and to one side of the
tent three of the Indian leaders were
seated. The one in the center was
equipped with an improvised drum
made by stretching buck-skin over the
end of an empty nail keg. At the left of
the drummer sat one who appeared to
be the master of ceremonies, and
who during the rite continued to
shake dried gourd highly decorated
with Indian markings. To the right
was another Indian with a smaller
gourd similarity decorated. In front
of these dignitieS and spread on the
ground were the ''buffalo" head dress
and body decorations used by the
dancers. On one side of these was
spread large paper containing a
great quantity of tobacco which was
passed up and down the line of In
dianS who sat in row all around the
tent. On the other side was an old fry
ing pan into which the ashes of the
pipes were dumped after several other
things which appeared to be birds,
frogs ETC., were burned.
The Buffalo" dancers were two in
number. They were dressed in
buffalo skins with the horns, and
feather decorations which appeared
to make up the robes worn. The
first dancer carried a reed upon which
he warbled at certain stages of the
Indian chant, and which grew fast and
vigorous nearing the close of the first
round. Closely following him was the
second dancer who always maintained
the mOnotOnOuS step of the leader.
Following these two Squaw dressed
in the gaudy attire and decorations
of the tribe danced with a different
and more difficult step, which was
more in the nature of a hop. We
were told by the Indian policeman
there present, that the two Buffalo
dancers would continue the dance,
with the periodic rests between. until
they were compelled to stop by pure
exhaustion, but that a different squaw
would follow each dance.
The sight we understand, of seeing
these Indians in this particular dance,
is rare thing nowadays, and those
who were fortunate enough tc be
present may congratulate themselves

The city fire department was called
out Sunday forenoon to extinguiSh a
small blaze at the home of VIM. Love
near the Green Bav depot. The DAM
age resulting from this accident was
very small, and had it not been for the
prompt response of the department the
promise was for a warm fire. The fire
was caused by the placing of a lit
pipe in coat pocket, and the hanging
of the coat among other clothes.

Fancies in Furniture.

There is a great demand for the
Sheraton, Chippendale, and Heppel-
white chairs. The antiques are too
scarce. and therefore reproductions
must necessarily be made. The Shera-
ton chair with the open and carved
back is the most popular design,
though many patterns appear in the
old plates. The Sheraton and Heppel.
white models are well suited for the
parlor or reception room. Small
Sheraton sofas are also appropriate
for these rooms. In Sheraton days
these chairs were not only made in
mahogany, but also in white and gold,
or in any other color. Sheraton was
not a great admirer of mahogany,
but he preferred satin wood delicately
painted, or inlaid wood in the Chip
pendale style. He was also an ad.
mirer of japanned and painted wood,
rs well as gilded. 1t is said that
Chippendale drew his inspiration
rom the French, Chinese, and Dutch,
Ind his styles are the most mixed OF

SWEET PEAS IN WINDOW BOX.
Pant One of the Earliest to Blossom
After Planting.

The recent Improvement in vari-
cites OF sweet peas. according to
Good housekeeping, have rendered it
possible to get an abundant supply of
flowers from sunny window box and
to nave the plants to blossom in an
astonlshingly few weeks after the
seeds are sown.
In recent experiment three inches
OF loan garden soil were placed in
zinc window box four feet long.
four inches wide and four inches high.
This was solid box with no drain
age mole, which rested on blocks of
wood on the window sill of wind ow
having western exposure. The seeds
OF the Earliest of All sweet peas were
sown In the box March 16. They
came up in about a week, and at the
end OF seven weeks from the planting
the tallest ones were "a inches high,
and had begun to blossom, buds be-
ing formed in great abundance upon
all the plants. Very few flowers which
are grown indoors will begin to yield
crop of beautiful blossoms after so
short period.
III dnotner experience four varieties
of sweet peas were planted in SIM
liar zinc window-sill box on November
27. They came up soon after and
grew gradually through the winter,
having reached height of three feet
by the following April Early in
April some blossom buds appeared,
but Tor some reason, possibly because
w oil - i
lew times, the blossom buds blight
ed and fell off. Toward the end of
April, however, more vigorous
growth took place at the tops of the
plants, and strong blossom buds ap.
peared In great numbers. The first
flowers expanded April 2S, and there
after an abundance of beautiful bios
SONS as large and fine as are common
ly obtained out of doors was pro-
duced.
