GOLD VS.. SCALPS.
Habits of the Noble Red Man Have De-
cidedly Changed.

What the past half century has
done tor the red man is clearly shown
by the following figures The deposits
in the some of leading banks of north
ern Wisconsin by the Chippewa
Indians now exceeds one million dol
lars, which is greatly IN excess of all
former records of their commercial
activities. Three years ago the de-
posits of the Courte Orrielle Indians
was $14, 900, the La Flambeau $75, 900,
the Red Cliff 500, 900 and the Bad
River 1923, 900 making total deposit
of 1913, 0Oo. The present financial con-
dition of these tribes, which has
been the accumulation of the profits
from following the several vacations
and commercial avenues of this state,
should be- and is ample proof that
the effort of the American people to
live and let live has not failed
Notwithstanding the civilization OF
the red man has cost the United
States the lives of many sturdy
pioneers, faithful wives and mothers
and even many innocent babies, yet
after, all, one can read the history of
those awful massacrees, and give
thanks that the day has come when
the desires of the red men has chang
ed from that of scalps to gold. The
difference in the present gold values
and the old greenbacks, in which the
Indians of this state (then territory
were paid for their treaty claims re-
presents $500. 600. They now have
claims against the government for
that amount.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Now that the locals have returned
home with three out of five games
tucked under their belts, that poor
umpiring' story put up by one of our
visiting teams sounds bad. After all,
class tells.
Ahearn, the new short stop signed
by Lancaster, comes with an enviable
reputation. He is student in
Armour Institute, Chicago, and has
been one of the mainstays of the fast
team of that institution. Saturday Sun
day and Tuesday he showed up we'll.
Jack Palmer's coaching made hit
in Galena. Mondays daily Gazette
says: ''Jack Palmer was much in
evidence on the coaching lines Jack g
a good coacher all right and livens
up the game wonderfully. He played
third base for Lancaster and did it
we'll. -
Roofing is what pushed the tieing
run over the plate for the Galena
team in the last game played there.
Yet no one here will charge that the
demonstration in favor of the local
team was 'rowdyism. Base ball with
out roofing is failure.
Pennock did good work while on
the out of town trip last week, both
in the field and with the stick.
So far not a word is heard against
the fast bunch, that Manager Friend
has brought together. The team is
playing grand ball and the fans ap
preciate it.

game was attended by the greatest
number ever heard In Grants old
town. The interest shown and en-
thusiasm manifested were great. The
big Galena crowd of rooters present
pulled its hardest for the home team.
The game was saved for Lancaster in
the ninth by a great throw by Pen
mock, cutting off Fox, the speedy Ga
lena catcher at the home plate by
several feet.
Briefly Lancaster won the game on
its meTits, the locals putting up
mnch cleaner fielding game, and hit

ers were also in excellent condition

Who Said "Rats?"

When one thinks of the multitude
of cats to be found in every city, and
of the numper Of dreadful diseases,
beginning with cohlera and ending
with itch, which they are accused of
transmitting, through the means of
gems, it is really wonder that any
one is alive. But when one reflects
that old maids, who are proverbially
supposed to be fond of cats enjoy the
best of health and are longlived, the
alarm speedily dies away. -Intelli-

Shall Curfew Ring for Lancaster?

As joke the new curfew plan pro-
posed by an exchange will do:
Every family should have curfew
which should positively ring out TO-
night and every night if needed.
The curfews are inexpensive and can
be homemade. Take piece of sid
ing two feet long and whittle one end
down to handle, and take the child
that needs the curfew and bend him
over the barrel. Now take the siding
in hand and use it for clapper. Put
it on hot. Divide the strokes even and
see that none miss. Good for BOY
or girl up to the age Of Is, and appli-
cations are warranted to cure the most
pronunced case of street loafng that
exists. The music the curfew makes
is finer than singing Where is My
Wandering Boy Tonight?" But as
a thoughtful proposition. the above is
all wrong. If it is wise to take ad-
vantage of your strength and the
boy weakness and whale him up the
age of IS, why not continue to the
time when he is able to return the
compliment and have a set to- ev-
cry morning. Would it not be bet
ter to have it out with your boy
of twenty with hard gloves and
"give the boy chance to 'lick"
you. rather than take advantage of his
youth and pound his flesh. If chill
dren were wisely treated from in
fancy, there would be no need of the
curfew. The boy or girl, who has
wise training, will no sooner think OF
disobeying a parent than of refusing
an invitation to picnic. The
trouble is that people have misunder-
stood good King Solomon's advice.
What he really must have said, was
'SpoiI the rod and spare the child. "
The plan attributed to Solomon, work
ed up to Is, gives the boy such a
temper that he is just about ready to
lick dad when the latter sees his
error, applies kind treatment and the
boys generous nature forgives his
parent and becomes a man. There
are exceptions too when the laying
on of hands" seems necessary, but the
rule is that ten devils are whipped
in where one is whipped out. - Be
good to your child, tell him that the
'curfew- barrel story is joke, with
serious side, coming down from the
dark ages He will return love for
love, kindness will be returned ten
fold, you will nsver get to be the
old man., but ''father'' always and
when it comes to be your turn to sit
and wait for the dawning, = there
will be none so kind and thoughtful
as the grown son who escaped the
barrel curfew While this view of
the barrel curfew might be practical
for modest Lancaster, it goes without
saying that the view of the exchange
would be best for the Office devil 81
benefit.

Dog MuzzIing Days.

The experiences of our neighboring
cities with the mad-dog pestilence
should prompt our mayor and council

the muzzling of all dogs or shoot them

SECOND GALENA GAME.

This game was pronounced by all
the Galena fans to be one of the most
exciting battles ever waged in that
city.
GaIena was the first to score, reg
istering once in the third. In the
sixth Friends boys scored two runs
and in the seventh one. The score
remained 8 to in Lancaster's favor
until the ninth, when Gilliams
team squeezed two more across the
plate which tied the score and made
the tenth inning necessary.
In the tenth the locals by hard
hittings secure three runs which put
them way to the good" while Galena
managed in their half to score their
last tally.
Lancaster's first two runs were Sc
cure in the sixth by an error by
Erdahl, a single py Madden and a
triple sacker by Gleghorn. This

game with the locals, his stunt COM

have gone for a hit.

he was SO completely bewildered that
he spent the night cropping about in
the thick bushes behind the barn,
searching for his boat.
Meantime, one OF the visiting cot
ayers, who was almost as befnddled
IS jim was, waded out into the
water and climbed into his boat
frohs the further end, and then drifted
about on the lake for the rest of the
night, and until daylight brought
something of soberness.
When the company assembled in
the morning there was much Joking
