SCHMIDII Is HURT
AT ROCK ISLAND
Tried to Mount Unruly Steed n
Front OF Charles Il. Reeds
Residence There.

Henry Schmidt met with painful
injuries last night about eight O'Clock
in front of the residence of Charles
B. Reed at Rock 'Isfahd when he at
tempted to mount a horse which had
never been trained. AS a result he
is laid up at present in the Reed
home and is under the care of Dr.
King
Schmidt had been in the Reed
home and was about to get onto the
horse when the accident occurred.
He had one foot in the stirrup and
was about to mount into the saddle
when the animal gave a snort of
anger and leaped into the air and
dragged the unfortunate Schmidt
along with him. Before the horse
could be stopped Schmidt had been
severely kicked in the chest and had
his right jaw lacerated. 1t was found
necessary by DR.. King to take Ave
stitches in the jaw.
Members of the Reed home stated
this afternoon however. that while
Mr.. Schmidt is laid up at their home
that he is getting along all right,
and that he will be none the worse

WORLD WIDE PEACE.

The peace congress has ended its
deliberations and those who gathered
to discuss universal harmony have
scattered
What was said at the congress will
have good effect in winning some
friends 10 the cause of peace, but now
uf1er an has been said, All enduring
peace in a warning world seems as
improbable as ever,
Nations nave tried 10 become cosy
and chummy in years past, but after
a Field of the Cloth of Gold we us
ually have seen sword blades flashing
and heard war cries
The Hague tribunal might do very
we'll for time but not forever.
And if Europe and America should
disarm, would Asia wag its tail.
Perfect peace seems impossible i'll
this turbulent world The law of ma
tire seems to preclude possibility
of peace. One animal preys upon an
other. With the carniyorous ami
mails it is pursuit with the herbif-
erous it is flight.
And of the carniyorous animals
man is the most mereiless and de-
structive, wolf like. preying upon his
own as well as other species.
If all the world were made up OF
veterans of the worlds struggles,
peace might be made possible. Men
who have fought the long fight may
say that peace were better,
But The world is always young, al
ways learning anew the lessons of
life
Gen Sherman, at the close of a sol
dier's career said War is hell. But
go back to the time that he was a
West Point cadet, full of ambition
stepping lightly to the music of the
band Did he then think that war
is hell?" Gould any young soldier
he made to think that?
And so it goes: the old man coun-
sells moderation and peace, the young
man draws the sword.
Human nature makes universal
peace as improbable as socialism OIL
any other dream of dreamers.
The peace congress, however, may
do much 10 defer wars.

PRODUCTION OF COPPER.

One hundred years ago, according
10 the Copper Handbook, the mines
of the globe produced an average OF
about 1000 tons of long copper an
nually-less than the present output
of either nickel or while
in 1906 production is at the rate of
Is, 900 long tons per week and there
is much talk of a copper famine--to
which color is given by the present
price of the metal, which is higher
than for % years past.
In 1905 there We're 10 individual
companies, each of which produced
more copper than all the mines OF
the globe combined produced in 1900
and two mills, each of which made
as much of the metal last year as all
of the mines of the world made dur
ing the last five years of the 9Th CEN
fury. the two mines in question be-
ing the Calumet and Hecla of Michi-
gan and the Anaconda of Montana.
Of the Is mines of the globe that
made 25,000,000 or more pounds of
refined copper each in 1905, are in
the United States, while there are one
each in Mexico, Spain, Germany and
Japan, and one, the American Smelt-
ing ana Refining company, generally
known us the smelter trust, draws its
copper ores from numerous small
mines in Mexico. Canada and the. Uni
ted States.
In. 1905 there l. So properties cred
tied with 100000 or more pounds
of fine copper each. OF the 90 lead
ing producers one, the smeltef trust,
drew ore from nearly all of North
America, while the Others were To-
Gated as follows: United States 46,
Mexico H. Chile TO- Japan g. Canada
and Austria. each, Spain, Russia
and Cape Colony 3 each. Germany 2,
Tasmania, Norway, Italy, Turkey and

of these 100 properties made more
than 100000 pounds of fine cop

Tobacco Notes

Samuel Grundy OF GAINESVILLE was Il
ca'l-r III this market Wednesday.
The basement of the Conway Bros.
warehouse is undergoing repairs. IL
more windows are being added and the
interior walls plastered. Cunning ham
& Omsberg have the job in hand.
The regulations OF the internal rev.
enue department requiring more strin-
gent observance in making returns on
form SO, makes it advisable for dealers in
leaf tobacco to keep duplicate records of
their accounts in their Offices. AS the
books must be returned to the collectors
office at the end of each quarter, dealers
find it very convenient to retain du-
plicate rscord Of their transactions that
they might be referred to if any discrep-
ancies are disclosed in the checking up
now done by the revenue officials. The
now declines to furnish such
additional books as might be required
for such duplicate records, and the pub
lie must look elsewhere for them. In
view of the demand that is likely to &C.
cur for record form SO, this office will
keep on hand supply of these books,
and orders sent to US will have prompt
attention.

Tried twice In One Day

An aged jurist, four lawyers, an un.
willing jury and perspiring crowd oil
spectators were engaged the greater
share Of Friday in the trial of two &C
tons brought against George Lynts
charged with violation of the excise law
| The first action was based upon the
| theory that Lynts operated his saloon on
| the 1st day of July without license
The court was cited the statutes which
makes the license year begin the first
Tuesday of July, being on the I'd this
year. The defense did not deny the
charge of selling liquor on that day, but
introduced the records OF the common
council granting his permit as we'll as
the license granting him authority to
operate saloon ''from date thereof
(June 24) to the first day of July, 1908. y
On this charge the jury found him not
guilty. The second charge was purely a
technical one based on the theory that
the council having given Lynts license
to operate a saloon before the I'd day of
July, the beginning of the license year,
his permit expired on the I'd day of
July, the day after he commenced bust
ness. In other words, he had unwit
tingly paid $500 for the privilege of op-
Grating saloon one day. As in the first
case the defendant did not deny the
selling charge, but depended upon the
records of the council granting the per-
nit and the license as evidence of his
authority to conduct saloon. On this
charge the jury disagreed, five standing
for acquittal and one for conviction.
Under these circumstances it is doubt
full if the district attorney will further
prosecute. It was brought out on the
trial that the prosecution was prompted
by the Anti-Saloon League of the state
and their attorney, Mr.. Weed of Madi-
son, was present and assisted Dist. Atty.
Fisher in the prosecution. L. E. Gettle
and M. o. Mouat of GAINESVILLE defended
Lynts.
This litigation brought out rather
plainly that the saloonkeepers have pro-
ceeded according to law in their applica-
tions for license, fling of bonds and the
payment of the fee, so that if there have
been any Irregularities or errors they
have been made on the part of the city,
and viewing it with the spirit of fairness
that ought to pervade all things, it would
be hard matter to find jury in Ed
gerton to convict the saloon men on
technicalities alone.

Obituary.
MRS. THOMAS STILLMAN

After several weeks of patient suffer
ing, Mrs. Thomas Stillman of this city,
in the early hours of last Thursday
morning, July IL, 1907, passed quietly
from the reach OF pain to eternal rest.
She was the youngest Of five daughters
of Martin and Mehitabel Wells Wilcox,
and was born at Homer, Cortland Co.,
N. Y, Oct. 81. 1888. Subsequently she
lived at Unadilla Forks, N. Y, then at
Westerly, r. I. Here she was married
to Thomas L. Stillman May 81, 1859. Mr..
Stillman having faithfully served his
country in the early years of their mar
ried life, she came with him, at the close
of the Civil War, to Edgerton, where
they have since made their home She
was prominent member of the Won.
ans Relief Corps of Edgerton, being
honored with the position of president
when the society was first organized.
With rare ability and tact she served
the interests Of this body, holding at the
time Of her death the Office OF treasurer
In loving confidence her husband and
her sister leaned upon her strength I'M.
til that failed and she went to her re-
ward. She was true to her convictions
OF religious duty and at the time of her
Baptist church at Westerly, E. T.
The funeral was conducted from the
home on the afternoon Of July Is, by the
Rev. 7. j. VanHorn Of Albion, the Rev.
DR.. Platt of Milton and the Rev. F. G.
Richardson of this place assisting. The
Womans Relief Corps were present in
body with an elaborate floral tribute.
They had decorated the grave in a most
artistic manner and at the burial con-
Quoted an impressive service. These
things, with large number of relatives
and friends who came to the home to
offer the last tribute of respect, testify
OF the loving regard in which she was
held
