Slaughter of Mobile. and op- erated under the name of the Mobile and Gulf Steamship Company. touch Ing at Mobile. Pensacola, Est Andrews and points along the Gulf Coast. has been sold to the Atlanta and St. An drews Bay Railroad. and in future will ply between Mobile. Pensacola and St. Andrews Bay. The price paid for the vessel Is stated at s45.000.
 The railroad, of which 4. B. Steele or Atlanta Is President. has been en- deavoring for several weeks to obtain possession of this vessel. or some other one of large carrying capacity in order that the road could form a connection with the Mallory Line of Mobile for New York freight in addition to ham ding freights from both Pensacola and Mobile for territory in Georgia and Alabama
 With this vessel the road will be able to compete with the Louisville and Nashville on all shipments east of Pensacola, and has already reduced the rates, though the haul is longer.
 The Manteo until a week ago piled out of Mobile and Pensacola for points along the coast.

The shear Case .


 Herbert Shear, the man arrested in Denver upon complaint of his wife, Mrs. Alice Shear, of this city, was for merly employed as a foreman in the mills of the Robinson Lumber Co.,, at Millview, and 1t was there that he gained his knowledge of the lumber business which virtually brought to him fortune in the west and in Can ada, where he embarked in business after leaving Pensacola.
 Those in the lumber business here say they can hardly believe the charges that of placing her in an insane asy. lum in order that he might live with his affinity, and in keeping her there for over seven years.
 The termination of the case Is look ed forward to with much interest in Pen- sacola, where the wife now resides.
 Firemen and Police Dismissed.
 Two policemen and two frenen were discharged from the service of the city today by the Board of Public Safety on charges brought against them by the respective chiefs of the departments.
 Among the number discharged Is As- sistant Chief H. T. D'Alemberte of the Fire Department, who disappeared from Pensacola about a month ago and has never been heard from since. He left his wife and family here, and they have not received a letter or any nies- sage since his departure indicating his whereabouts. but 1t Is believed that he went to Panama.
 One of the officers discharged Is Thomas r. Nee. who was on the sus- pended list a month before he disap- peared. warrant is in the hands of the offi Nrs charging him with assault to rape Mrs. Stearns, an aged white woman residing on West Garden Street.
 First Cargo of New Cotton.
 The first cargo of this years crop of cotton to leave Pensacola will be shipped out this week on the steamer August Belmont, owned by the Louis- vile and Nashville, and which Is now loading at the wharves of the com- pany.
 The cotton win go. to Bremen and will consist of about 5000 square bales. most of which Is now stored in the warehouses here.
 The Spanish steamer Graoia Is also to take a cargo of the fieecy staple from Pensacola this month. She is ex- pected here tomorrow.
 Cotton exporters claim that more cotton will be shipped from Pensacola this season than ever before In the his- tory of the port, and 1t is expected that the exports will amost double those of three years ago. owing to connections made by the Louisville ana Nashville Railroad.

MAN OF THE HOUR.
A. w. Kopp, Grant County Candidate
Stands Good Chances to Win.

For the first, time in over a
quarter Of century, the republicans
of Grant county, are confronted with
a most promi sing opportunity of hav'
ing one Of their own members elected
to seat in Congress.
Such oppol tunities do not often
favor the people of one political faith
in any county. If for trivial or per-
sonal reasons this opportunity is al
lowed to pass unimproved, how long
must we wait for another equally, or
even half as promising?
We have always had aspirants for
congress by the score. but not in more
than twenty-five years have conditions
favored us as they do this year. 1t
is not unfair or untrutbful to say
that Mr.. Kopp is by nature and &C
quirements, at least the peer, if not
the superior of either of his OPP
ponents. Age considered, his capa
bilities for the position are certainly
superior Then his location in Grant
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1908-08-29

county is most favorable at the present
time. We have not had, from this
county republican congressman
since the days of Hon. Geo. Z. Hazel
ton, who served from 1877 to 1883.
In the mean time, Crawford county
was favored for six years with that
Office, (while the county was in the
18th district, by having the honor
conferred upon Hon. o. B. Thomas,
of Prairie du Chen, who served from
1885 to 1891 In all these twenty five
years Grant county has been reliably
republican, casting more than three
times the republican majority given
by that county. Ten years ago we
elected a distinguished citizen of
Crawford county, Hon. J. o. David
son, to the office of State Treasurer
and reelected him to the same Office in
1910. Then in 1906 he was elected by
the same party, to the great Office of
Governor of Wisconsin. The republi-
can of Grant county in common with
others, are called upon to again re-
elect him to this high office this year.
Also this year Crawford county
puts forth a candidate for congress in
the person of Alley Peterson, who.
like the Governor, resides at the
village of Soldiers Grove.
Turning to the democratic party of
Grant county. which has never, since
the war, been the majority, we
find they have twice, by accident,
been favored with congressional
honors, in the last few years. Hon.
A. r. Bushnell was elected on the
democratic ticket in 1899, and Hon.
J. w. Murphy in 1906. This record

BAD TRAIN WRECK
ON GALENA BRANCH
Engineer E. Thompson and Fireman
Jerry Gallagher Killed.
Several Others Injured----Caused by Passenger
Train Running into Work Train
Entering Side Track.

One of the worst wrecks that has
occurred on the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad in years took place
Thursday morning when the morning
passenger out of Galena collided
with a work train from Madison. 1t
was about eight o'clock and the work
train attempted to get on a siding
near Milbrige before the passenger ar
rived. 1t was literally race with
death and death proved the feeter and
won out. The two trains met near
the above named station the front ends
If both piling on top of each other In
endless confusion. The cab of the
passenger engine was crushed beneath
tbe work train locomotive and when
the fireman and engineer, Jerry Gal
lagher and Erastus Thompson, could
he rescued from the wreck both were
found TO be dead. How they met with
their death is not known for both
were badly scalded as we'll as being
crushed. Jakisch the engineer OF the
work train jumped before the trains
met and had his left leg broken IN
two places So badly that amputatlon
was necessary, and his fireman Radpke
had also evidently leaped from the
cab as the trains collided, his only
injury being a sprained ankle.
Jak1sch formerly lived in Lancaster
and will be well remembered by many
citizens. Jerry Gallagher, however
was better known having had a run
into this city more recently. He was
a big, good hearted man who made
friends rapidly and by his gen1allty
retained them.
He was S5 years of age and un-

Why CIementson Should be Nominated

Editor Herald:
I would like to speak word In
behalf of Geo. G. ClementsOn and the
diguified course he has pursued In MS
candidacy for District Attorney. he
has not secured the county for weeks,
but has been getting ready for Su-
preme Court and other important busl-
ness has kept him home almost all the
time. Maybe this will affect MS
chances, but ought not to. He ought
to be nominated because he has had a
great deal more experience than either
of the others, and the Office needs a
man of experience. He has practised
law longer than either of the Others
and is admittedly qualified for the
office in every way. He has never
asked anything from the party, and
fairly this is his turn. We don t
want a District Attorney who Will
not live at tne county seat. and II
the other Lancaster man waits four
years he will then not have practised
law as long or be as old as Clement
son is now. Mr.. Clementson announc-
ed himself first, and ought to have
had a clear field in the north part OF
the county. Citizen.

married. His native city was Galena
where those who knew him liked him.
Engineer Thompson was a man OF
aDout so years of age was married and
survived by family all of whom are
grown.
The accident is most deplorable and
sympathy for the people of the poor
fellows who met their death or were
injured is heard on every hand.
The passengers all escaped with
out serious injury, all of them bein g
merely shaken up and bruised.
Engineer Thompson and Fireman
Gallagher endeavored to stop the
passenger train before the collision
sticking to their post of duty to
the very last minute. Their effort 70
save the passengers was most heroic,
their courage reminding one of Jim
BludsOe.
The race with death that the
work train engaged in was, according
to reports received, entirelycontrary to
order. Il was ordered to stop at
Buncombe and there take the siding
and let the north bound passenger
pass. Conductor Zeininger Of the
passenger places the blame on the
work train crew.
Wrecking crews Immediately were
set to work and cleared the track in
comparatively sholt time. All
those injured will recover, the only
ones besides those named escaping
with bad bruises and cuts.
4, On the passenger were Tom Owen,
the baggage man who daily runs in
here, and Fred DAILY, who was brak-
ing. Neither were injured.

CHECKING A BUNDLE.
The Way the Tired Man Saved Him
self Labor and Trouble.


One day a man went into very big
store. He had a heavy package with
him.
Not in the sense you mean, smarties
but in the real sense.
He had to go two blocks farther
down the street and didn't want to
carry the package. So he decided that
he would leave it in the check room.
He asked a fioorwalker who looked
like a United States senator, but who
was a perfect gentleman, where the
check room was. The fioorwalker said:
"Thre eaislesoverdownstairsandover.
ontheWabashside."
He went there, wherever that was,
and found he had made mistake.
He knew it was himself who had
made the mistake, for as nice a man
IS a fioorwalker with a Prince Albert
On couldn't have made a mistake.
Finally after he had logged his bun
lie thirty-two blocks hunting the
check room, had found the check room
and deposited his bundle he walked
lis two blocks to the other place and
was through for the day.
Then he sOliloquized:
"How should l ever have got
trough or stood the wear and tear of
hat long two blocks carrying that
undle? If it hadn't been for the

The Life Saving Service,

The Grst stations of a life saving
service in this country were establish
ed by the Massachusetts Humane soci-
ETY. at Lowell island and Cohasset. All
efforts for saving life and property in
cases OF shipwreck were made by this
society till 1887, when the president Of
the United States was authorized to
employ ships to cruise along the shores
and render assistance to distressed
navigators. In 1913 congress passed a
law creating few life saving stations
between Sandy Hook and Little Egg
harbor, New Jersey. From this has
grown the splendid system which now
takes in all the coasts of the country.

COMEDY NO. 2

Another comedy under the name,
of a ball game was pulled off at the,
fair grounds Thursday. Lancaster
again made enough errors to lose
but the Cubs could not take advan-
tage Of them and at the end the.
score stood II to in favor of the
local boys.
Jimmy Clark was on the mound.
for the Platteville and Piddington>
for Lancaster. Both were hit hard
but the locals got most of their hits.
at the right time Jimmy has a.
queer delivery, entirely unlike alb
others of the windmill species. Be-
fore he delivers the bail he seems to,
lose his balance for an instant, then
crow hops, hesitates and dishes it
up. He got an awful beating for
the locals fairly rained three base
hits, two baggers and singles.
A home run by Hauser in the
second started the performance.
1t was the prettiest hit made On the
fair grounds this year Manager
Friend was also there with the big
stick getting some timely hits.

Captain Adrian G.. Arson, who will
bring his team of Colts to the Grant
County fair to play the Lancaster
base ball team, is truly the Grand
Old Man" of base ball of America.
cap Arson played baseball before,
most of the players Of today were.
born. For twenty years he led the
Chicago National league team as,
captain and manager, winning dur
ing that time pennant after pennant
Within the short space of years
five times in the National league
race for championship. This record
has never been equaled.
Arson is a terrific hitter. In 1887
his batting average was 421 for 1872
games, and few pitchers can boast,
of ever having struck out the cap
tain. He is the greatest fielding
Businessman who ever wore uni
form, and although he has been in.
the harness for years he can play
the position better than many men
who are IN league company today.
Captain Arson retired from Nat
1onal league baseball in 1897, and at
the time of his retirement was pre-
sented with $4,000 get of silver
table service by his Chicago admir-
ers. Two years ago he was honor
ed by being elected city clerk of the
city of Chicago. These testimonials
speak volumes for the esteem in,
which he is held there.
The baseball team that the cap
tain will bring here is the fastest
semi-pro-team in Chicago. 1t is.
made up of good, clean players who
are faster than many men in the
leagues. Walter Eckersall, the
right fielder of the team is one of the
foremost athletes of America. The
other players are all fast, and when
pitted against the Lancaster champ
ions should furnish an article of ball
worth going miles to see. This
team is not a freak team in any
sense of the word and it is really
fortunate that the Gophers cancel
ed with the management.
