Land of the luscious, indescrib-

bread, Wisconsin, we hail thee
Other States have their own bread
but no corn bread on earth ever

the genuine corn bread any where,
or even the imitation, and the mind
must instinctively go old Wisconsin,
with all it's treasures and traditions
of corn bread making. This, verify,
is "a land of corn and wine; land
of bread and vineyards" See the

There is no end to the complaints
that are made by the typical Kansas
farmer. If their crops are big
there is shortage of harvest hands
to gather them. And after they
are finally gathered there is a short
age Of cars to haul them away to
market. And after they are finally
marketed there is a shortage of
ways to spend the money. Being
Kansas farmer'is evidently hard
job, even in these piping days of
peace and prosperity.

The year will be noted for publ
city, as all the large corporations
have employed the best talent that
money will hire to exploit their
business in the smallest detail.
This will accomplish double pur-
pose, for while it will furnish inter
esting reading to a lot of restless
people, it will also prove excellent
advertising to the corporations.

It promises to be a great year for

absolutely certain that they won't

Then it ought 10 be a good year
for the much over worked reform
ers. There has been SO much to do,
that rest has been out of the ques-
ton, but the work IS now well in
hand and the luxury of a brief hOli-
day should be appreciated.
OF course the question of city and
government ownership, and the
general distribution of property, is
yet to be accomplished, but that is
really not an issue until 1908. In
the meantime let's take little rest.
1t would be a libel on 1906 to say
that the new year will be any more
prosperous than the old. How could
it be, and what will we do with it if
it is? The holes out IN the zinc

THE OUTLOOK FOR 1907.

The outlook for the new year,
from every point of view, is promis-
ing. The nation throbs with life,
and while the pulsatiOn is inclined
to be feverish, yet there is enough
good wholesome blood to protect
from disaster.
1t takes time TO adjust new cOndi-
tions and so in adapting service to
new regulations, which have recent
II become effective, corporations
and transportation companies are
finding some friction, but this will
disappear before the work of the
year is fairly launched.
The moral effect of the interstate
commerce commission will be worth
more to the people, than all the
work that much over estimated
organization will accomplish. 1t is
quoting to the people to know that
they have a tribunal, but in this
case it will be a good deal like the
teachers switch, in the corner of
the school room.
The commission is in duty bound
to be as fair with the railroads as
with its patrons. and it has already
discovered that the railroads pos
sess ordinary business sagacity,
and as a matter of policy are dis
posed to be square.
The commission will be valuable
t. the roads as a dumping ground
for all grievances. Favors of every
kind can be l8fused with pleasant
smile, because of authority beyond
control.
The year promises to be pro
moter Of virtue, from start to finish,
and this is a grace which the public

Two former Wisconsin men will
be re elected to the United States
senate this month viz: Kuute
Nels Il of Minnesota and Robert J.
Glmble of South Dakota. Senator
Nelson lived in Wisconsin from 1850
to 1871. He served as a private and
noncommissioned officer in the
Fourth Wisconsin regiment during
the civil war. He was admitted to
the bar in Wisconsin and served in
the Wisconsin legislature in 1868
and 1869. Senator Nelson studied
law in the office of Senator Spooner's
father in Madison. His colleague,
Senator Clapp, studied law in
Senator Spooner's Office in Hudson.
Senator Gamble went to Fox Lake,
Wis, in 1862, and made that state
his home until 1875. He was gradu-
ated from Lawrence university at
Appleton in 1874 There is no
doubt about the reelection of Senator
Nelson, Notwithstanding that he
was included in Senator LaFollette's
Chautauqua list of senators who
voted against his amendments to
the rate bill In South Dakota a
fight is being made on Mr.. Gamble
by his colleague, Senator Kittredge,
but advices received here indicate
that Gamble will be re elected.

INTEREST SHOWN
IN THAT DOLLAR
The Palladium Coin Was
Started on it's Travels
Saturday Evening.
JUST NOW 1T is LOST.
MISSION is TO SHOW THE GOOD
RESULTING FROM SPENDING
MONEY AMONG THE LOCAL
MERCHANTS.

Unusual interest is being manifested
in the journey taken by the Palladium
dollar that was started into circula-
tion last Saturday for the purpose of
showing how much more good dol
lar spent at home among local mer-
chants does than when spent away
from home. As was stated in Sunday
mornings edition, the dollar which is
to be the recipient of such distinction,
was spent by Foreman Frank Ringhoff
of this office at the clothing store of
Rosenbloom e Buntin. From there
the coin was paid out to an unknown
man who Immediately spent it at the
firm of Rost & Marshall
During rush at that store in the
evening the dollar was paid out In
change to an unknown man accom-
panied by his wife When the dollar
was presented to him and he was told
why the ring and card were attached.
he at once entered into the spirit of
the venture and said that he was glad
to have hand in proving the test. He
and his wife Immediately left the store
of Rost & Marshall and went to the
dry goods store of Lee B. Nusbaum.
Mr.. Nusbaum states that when the per-
sons came into his store with the dol
lar, one of the young lady clerks wait
ed on them, and when the dollar was
presented in payment for the articles,
the clerk took the dollar to Mr.. Nus
baum and asked him whether or not to
accept it. Mr.. Nusbaum was busy at
the time. and not knowing the details
of the experiment, he said not to ac-
cept the coin, consequently the man
and his wife left the store without us
ing it. Since that time no account
has been received of the dollar, al
though many inquiries have been
made relative to it. The question now
is. who has the dollar? If you have it,
either spend it or else bring it TO this
office This dollar is of nomadic dis
position and don't want TO remain
still very long, so don't carry it about
in your pocket.
Since entering on its mission, this
celebrated dollar has been the subject
of many inquiries as TO its travels.
The people are interested in its var
ious moves and are desirous to see it
perform its mission.

So ii is with youth-impressions made
upon the youthful mind last through
life, and all depends upon the home
training of children. AS they are in
youth. so will they be in old age-it Is
but the natural trend of things. So
great care ought to be exercised in the
early training of children. The mind
and the heart should be looked after:
don't sacrifice one at the cost of the
the boys as we'll as the girls. The

boys are the future men, from whose
ranks are seected presidents, senators,
representatives. governors. etc. The
men who are to conduct the affairs Of
state. How zealously their education
should be looked after. Every person
is not fitted by nature for higher edu-
blessed. receive it in great measure IL
is easier to get ten thousand dollar
job than a ten dollar job, because there
are so many ten dollar men and so few
ten thousand dollar men. The need
of today is education in the full sense
of that term. Ii is demanded of the
boy and girl of today. more especially
of the boy. See that your boys and
girls receive a christian education-see
to it that in educating the mind the
heart is not left out of 1.-THE love OF
God and the reward of heaven. Then
when your children come out of school
they will be wholly educated and will
reflect credit upon you long after you
have passed away.
The sermons were preludes to the
opening of school today.

Peter MuhI. a Prominent Resi-
dent of HagerstoWn, Was
Struck While Watching a
Passing Freight Train.
TRUSS ROD BROKE AND
CARS WERE SHIFTED.
Wreck Occurred Near Scene
Of the Fatal Accident of a
Few Weeks Ago---Property
Loss Heavy.

Hagerstown, Ind, Sept. 16.-One of
the most remarkable wrecks that ever
occurred on the Pennsylvania lines
near this place, happened yesterday af-
ternoon. when a double-header west
bound freight train in charge of Con-
ductor Oliver Thomas, was ditched at
this place 1t was remarkable that the
lives of no trainmen were lost, while
on the other hand the life of a well
known citizen of Hagerstown, Peter
Muhl, who was watching the train,
was snuffed out in the twinkling of an
eye.
According to the story of several eye
witnesses, the train was going at a rap
id rate and when just short distance
east of the canal bridge. a truss rod
broke underneath a car near the center
of the train, and dropping to the rails
began to play havoc with the track.
After half of the train had passed over
the first switch entering the yards, the
switch lever in some manner became
loosened and the switch was thrown
shifting the last seven cars and the ca
boose to the middle switch. These
eight cars carooned from side to side
tearing up the middle track as they
went, and making kindling wood of
themselves.
Peter Muhl. who was killed. was
standing at the crossing to watch the
train pass and waved his hand at the
f;rap,ap 1art;p Abhpt+ a HngnrctpwD
boy. Muhl. after part of the train
had passed and evidently hearing a
dreadful racket toward the rear of the
train, and seeing dust and debris fly
inf, stepped over on the first
switch in order to see what the trouble
was, when the derailed cars hit gon-
dola standing on the side track and
drove it over him, smashing his head
to pulp.
Oliver Thomas. the conductor, was
injured internally and was removed to
his home in Richmond on a relief train.
The wrecking crew responded
promptly and by midnight had the
track cleared so that the Chicago ex-
press could pass. 1t is estimated that
this wreck will cost the Pennsylvania
about $4,000.
This wreck occurred within about
one hundred yards of where the freight
wreck occurred about three weeks ago.
Peter Muhl had been resident of
this place 56 years. His parents were
Germans and from the old country. He
was born in Pittsburg and at the time
of his death was 6S years old. His
wife, who died four years ago was from

Harry Kreimeier, who for the past
thirty-one years was identified with the
merchant tailoring business in this
city. died this morning at his home
los South Sixth street, at the age of IL
years, from the effects of carbuncle
on his neck. He had been i'll but five
weeks
Mr.. Kremeier was one of the best
known German residents of Richmond
When but sixteen years of age he took
a place in his fathers tailoring shop,
located between Fourth and Fifth
streets on Main. Since that time he
had been in business at the same place.
On the death of his father, Bernard
Kreimeier, several years ago, he took
active charge of the business and has
since conducted it successfully.
The death of Mr. Kremeier was unex.
pected and came from peculiar cause.
The carbuncle with which he was ar
flicted on the neck, spread rapidly and
soon reached the brain. at which time
it caused death.
Mr.. Kreimeier is survived by a wife
and one son, Bernard. three brothers.
Christopher. Edward and Charles. two
sisters. Salia Kreimeier and Mrs. Ma
tilda Renk and his mother, Mrs. Mary
Kreimeier.
