H, w. StOeCker Here in Inter
est of a New Concern
at DeldVdn.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

H. w. Stoecker of DeIavan. presi-
dent of the Ginseng Products company
of that city, and H. j. Grell of John
son Creek. We're visitors in the city
Yesterday in the interests of that con-
Germ, which is now engaged in the
manufacture of ginseng extracts, bev-
erages, Ice cream, candy, tonic bit
tiers and tooth powder and paste. The
firm of Grell Bros. have taken the
agency for the state Of Wisconsin and
the upper peninsula OF Michigan.
Although only organized four months,
the concern has made wonderful pro-
gress and are establishing agencies
all over the country. They now have
four hundred customers in Chicago,
which shows to what extent the en-
terprise IS growing and the demand
for their products. The ginseng bev-
erage is fast becoming famed and is
already found on the bill of fares in
the leading hotels of the country.
Mr.. Stoecker will be remembered
by many OF the citizens of Water
town, having spent several months
here in the interest of the Modern
Woodmen of America. he being dis
trict deputy and organizer, also for
the Royal Neigbhors. The principal
object of his visit here is to interest
some of our citizens in the concern
with which he is identified, the in
tention being to reorganize the con-
Germ and incorpoI ate for large sum
to carry on the manufacture Of the
ginseng products. Mr.. Stoecker is
very enthusiastic over the prospects
for the new enterprise and predicts
growth to gigantic establishment.

PERPETRATOR OF DEEDS WAS AN CONVICT

asked her for money repeatedly and
she had usually acceded to his demands,
giving him usually $50 at d time. In
fact it was only Friday that she haG
handed HIM out that amount.
Evidences at the two houses showed
clearly that there had been desperate
struggles, as the furniture was found
to be badly broken and his wife's face
was badly battered. denoting clearly
the brutality OF the heartless wretch
and the fact that there had been d
desperate effort made by his wife to
save her life.
At the home of the step mother at
the time of the murder, Miller's two
step-sisters, Mrs. Louis Schmutzler
and Miss Grace Mute, were present.
AS soon as Miller pulled the revolver,
they made their escape from the
house. 1t is the general belief here
that Miller intended to kill all of the
members Of his family here.

MILWAUKEE, MILK
DEALERS UNITE
Want Regulation So as to In
sure Purity-ObjeCt of
100 Dealers.

. The contention O. The Leader was
that in the repeal of the milk ordin-
ance here. Watertown took a back
ward step. The crusade started here
against impure milk end infectious
cattle was a move in the right di-
rection and one that is being taken
up IN other cities, notably among
which is Milwaukee, where even the
retail milk dealers themselves have
organized in an effort to protect the
public health. The following article
from last nights Evening Wisconsin
will prove of interest to many of the
readers Of The Leader and we trust
will cause those who voted for the
repeal of the ordinance here to reflect
and think over the mistake that was
made. The Wisconsin says:
The Milwaukee Retail Milk Deal
ers' association, started by sixty men
at David's hall, Teutonia and North
avenues, will meet on Thursday night
at o'clock at the same place to COM
plete its organization.
Permanent officers Will be elected
this week. Great interest was shown
at the first meeting, and fully 100
dealers from all parts of the city are
expected Thursday. Much discussion
of the quality of city milk during the
past year, together with the strong
efforts of the health department to
eliminate supplies from diseased
herds and filthy dairies, led to the
founding of association.
The following resolution was adopt
ed at the first meeting:
Whereas, it is of great Importance
to the welfare of the pc opie OF the
city uf Milwaukee, and especially its
younger element and coming genera
tion, that the supply OF food products
generally used for consumption, and
especially the supply of milk and
cream, the food of infants and chill.
dren, be promptly controlled and reg
ulated, so as to insure it's purity and
Whereas, 1t is impossible under
present existing conditions to proper
ly control such supply and to secure
and maintain proper standard; and
Whereas, of all the trades and
occupations, the retail milk dealers
alone are without any permanent or
ganization to assist and aid in accom-
| plishing said purpose; now therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we hereby organ
ize for the purpose of forming "The
Milwaukee Retail Milk Dealers asso-
ciation,' said organization having fol
its aim the objects set forth IN the
preamble hereto.

LOOK UPON NEW BILL
AS A BAD MEASURE
Officers of National Guard
Object to Proposed LegiS-
ldGOn Now Suggeted.

Officers of the state militia are
Directing strenuously to some of the
proposed Legislation now up before
the legislature. One bill in partlcu-
lar is calculated to give the younger
members of the guard chance to rise
in the service, but to do so would
mean the discharge of such men as
Col. Orlado Holway of the Third regi-
ment, Col. Morgan OF the Second,
Quartermaster General Hodg1ns of
Marinette, Adjutant General Board
man of Oshkosh, Major Williams
of Camp Douglas and others
The bill would also make it
necessary to curtail the amount of
camp work done every summer, and
this together with the loss OF old
men who have practically made the
militia what it is, would tend to
seriously disrupt the organization of
the guard. The bill will be opposed
tooth and nail by all the members
of the state militia.

POST CARDS
ARE STILL ON SALE
NO Order Bars Them--NeW
Ones are Good
Sellers.

A newspaper Item that has been
working over time going the rounds uf
the press asserts that after March 4,
leather post cards will be barred
from the mails. This is believed to
be an error. No official information
has been received at the local post
Office to this effect. AS a matter of
fact leather postcards'' are not
postcards at all and never have been
handled as such by the postal authori-
ties. The leather cards are trans
ported as merchandise at regular
merchandise rates, when they bear nc
written message except the address
and name of sender. As such thew
may be mailed at one cent each.
When a message is written on them
they must be paid for at first class
letter rates or in other words must
bear a two cent stamp.

Governor i. J. HcIgonmaR Has
Resigned and his Successor is
Capt. Gorge Curry R'ugh Rider

Governor Herbert J. Hagcrmau
has resigned as governor of New
Mexico and President Roosevelt
has appointed Capt. George Curry
a democrat and former Rougi,
Rider, his successor. The ap.
pointment of Capt. Curry meets
with hearty approval as neither
faction in the territory has gain
ed in the appointment. The new
governor is we'll qualified for the
position and IS at the present time
governor of Samar province, Phil.
ippine Islands.
When Governor Bagerman le-
signed, President Roosevelt re-
.quested him to reconsider the
resignation but he refused. What
action if any the new governor
will take in regards to the present
territorial officers who are Gov,
ernor Hagerman's appointees, a
majority of whom are men OF
honor ana influence, no one now
Knows. He should nevertheless
have free hand and if we are
not mistaken IN the man he will
demand it and no clique will own
.Or controle him.
If the fractional fight in the
Republican party is kept up, the
party is doomed to defeat at the
next election Furthermore the
60 mon people are in such
temper at the present time that
they think more of the welfare
and progress of the territory than
any party or set of Office seekers.
New Mexico has many intelligent
independent voters and the man
OF papev that is always trying to
viIify the action or policies Of
others who they cannot control,
might not look so blight if the
light was turned on them. Let
ms have less partison politics and
demand more honesty and less
graft in the administration of
public affairs.
