OUR ONLY FOOT BALL
GAME OF THE SEASON
Played by Lancaster Fennimore
EIevens Thanksgiving.
Weather Was Cold and Wet and Game
Contained No Sensational Fea-
tures-Fennimore Won.

On account of the cold disagree
able weather on Thanksgiving day
there was but very small crowd at
the football game between Fennimore
and Lancaster. The game was poorly
played on the part of both elevens.
but the local boys showed lack of
practice more plainly than their
heavy opponents.
The locals were outweighed probab-
" to a man, but it was not this fact
that caused their defeat. The game
was won by Fennimore because of the
fact that most of the Lancaster team
had not been together for several
weeks and two of them had not play
ed the game OF bad any practice for
over year.
Fat Edge, played quarter back
for the Fennimore eleven, and greatly
amused the spectators by his elephan-
tine agility He tips the scales at
over 200 lbs. and was able to
furnish a runner all the interference
he needed. His own attempts to
carry the hall, however, were ludi-
cous failures.
Lancaster kicked off to Fennimore
and on the third down the visitors
punted, Bennett caught the punt and
ran nearly half the length of the field
for a touch down. Fennimore fcored
one in the first half and one in the
second making the final score 10 to s.
The principal ground gamers for
Lancaster were Burris and Pennock.
The most successful play the local
eleven worked was a criss-cro This
old trick Melted them good gains
several times. The forward pass
failed to do any great work for either
team

Watery Oysters Will Have to Go.

The adoption of certain standards
relative to food products in the states
supporting pure food laws by the As
ISOLATION of the Agricultural Chemists
and national and state food and dairy
commission at Madison, Wis. Sept,
20. last, is especially interesting
in view of the recent decision of
Judge West in the suit of Armour
& Company.
The resolutions, as adopted, pre-
scribad that sausage, if up to the
standard, must be built up of meat
products and that if it contains cereal
and added water it must be labeled to
show the percentage of all these in
gradients.
The practice was prohibited of add
ing ice or water to smoked oysters in
tending to lower the quality and
bringing them under the terms of the
adulterated food law.
= Ice cream, it was held, must con
tain at least IA per cent Of milk fat
and be made Of cream and sugar with
or without natural tiavoring. If nuts,
they must be clean and mature. If
gelatine is added or any vegetable
gum, the package must be labeled to
show the contents.
The sale of soft drinks and other
food products containing soap, bark or
cocaine is prohibited. Cafein as an
ingredient for. a soft drink is prohibit
ed as dangerous to the health of chill
dren.
1t was also declared that practice of
treating fish, sardines, bacon and sau-
sage with liquid smoke" must be
abolished. This is substance used
for the same purpose as smoking the
meats. Michigan Tradesman.

HOW TO DRESS CHILDREN
Out-of-the Ordinary Clothing for Boys
is not the Best Thing.

If there is any one thing that causes
a good boy grief when he is attending
school is to have his mother dress him
out of the ordinary. 1t is we'll to
dress very much as the rest of the
children dress. If dressed any finer
they will be dudes and if not dressed
we'll enough they are termed paupers.
Nothing stings the feeling of a young
American as much as to have other
boys poking fun at his clothing.
Every boy has feelings that should be
respected. 1t is common to dress
children as the parents feel they ARE
able to, without thinking of the pain
that comes to them through the mis-
chievous boy route. 1t is so natural
for BOYS at school to see fun in pair
of trousers that are an inch too short
or coat that ought to be worn by a
brother several years older. Don t
dress in freak clothing. We have all
been there and know how boy feels
when he is compelled to scrap with
some other boy in order to maintain
his American dignity. -Dodgeville
Chronicle.

with general approval.
COMMENTATOR FOR SUPT. BRoCKERT
In recognition of the very effici-
enG manner iD which Supt. Brockert
has looked after the interests of the
schools of the county during his
two years encumbency Cf the
office and the ability and diligence
he has brought to the discharge OF
his dnties, the following testimonial
was prepared, unknown to Mr..
Brockert, by Prof A. E Brainerd
principal of the BOscobel schools,
and met with the hearty and un-
animOus endorsement of those pre-
sent 1t reads as follows:
Lancaster, Wis, Nov. q, 1908.
During the term of office as Super
intendent Of schools, J. G. Brockert
has labored indefatigably aud efficient
ly for the best interests of schools OF
Grant county. He has succeeded in
arousing interest in the work of the
country schools through hard work
and the application of common sense
methods in stimulating attendance and
equipment.
Recognizing the above facts and be-
lieving that the best interests of the
schools will be served by his cOntin-
uance in office, resolved thai we, board
members of the several school districts
of Grant county in convention as
sembled, request SupS. j. @. BrOckert
to again become q candidate for the
office of county Superintendent OF
schools of Grant county. We pledge
him our earnest support if he becomes
candidate.
Coming as it did without the soil
citation or even the knowledge of
Mr.. Brockert, it is a tribute which he
highly appreciates and one which
his friends think he richly deserves.

Looks Good for Grant County Mines.

A big gain in sulphur shipments
for Platteville is due to the process
employed by the Electricstatic sepa
rating works, which is able to elimin-
ate the sulphur ore without destroy
ing it and thus saving it for by-pro-
duct Since the capacity Of these
works has been Increased, this saving
must increase in tonnage, in proper
tion to the amount of ore handled by
the works. With the calciners now
employed in treating Wisconsin ores
the sulphur atom is first burned off
and the hot zinc ore is passed under
highly magnetized lodes which catch
up their own PARTICLES as they pass
under the lodes, the finished ore going
to the stock bin. With better de-
mand growing for sulphur ores, in
this country, it SIS only matter of
time before mining companies will
turn to saving this sulphur as it is
already commanding price in ad-
vance of 81 per ton which makes it
valuable enough to be saved. j. H.
Lewis in Platteville Witness.

OSCAR BRADY ASKED
FOR CHANGE OF VENUE
The Jury Was Excused Unit.
Wednesday, December Is.
Expected That a Judge From Another
Circuit WIFI Try the case-FIow
If Happened

An adjourned session of the cir
cunt court for Grant county cOnven-
ed at the court room in this city
last Friday to proceed with the trail
of the more or less celebrated case
Of The State VS.. Oscar lBrady,
charged with g. statutory crime,
which has been upon the calendar
for a year or more.
District Attorney KOpp, for the
prosecution, was present with his
witnesses, and ready for trial. The
defendant was also present with his
attorneys and witnesses and the
entire panel of rs jurymen were in
the court room awaiting call.
The dependant was called before
the court and the charge read to
him, to which ne pleaded mot
guilty" Upon the order Of the
judge the empaneling of the jury
had just begun when the attorneys
for the defense interrupted with
request for abatement, which was
denied by the judge. After con-
sultation between the defendant
and his attorneys an affidavit was
presented to the court in which
Brady declared his belief that he
could not secure a fair trial in this
county, alleging prejudice upon the
part of the court and applying
under section 1926 of the statutes
for a change Of venue,
While there is probably no basis
for such claim and the county
will be put to an additional heavy
expense thereby, the defendant is
entitled under the law to make
such affidavit and demand, and
Judge Clementson accordingly de-
clared the case postponed until
Wednesday, December Is, at 1:30
at which time he will invite a judge
from another circuit to try the case.
AS many of TIE iurymen and wit
nesses for the state could not return
home on Friday they were each
given two days pay for the attend
ance.
The following additional jurymen
were drawn, to report on December
Is: A. A. belong, Wingville;
Archie Bartholomew, Boscobel;

Vogt, BeetOwD; Chas. Krohn,
Bloomington; Geo. Monroe, Fenni-

LAND RUSH FOR MONTANA
Close to Three Million Acres to Be
Opened in 1909.

Helena, Mont. Nov. %. Montana s
two Indian reservations, for which
provision has been made, will not be
thrown open to settlers until June.
1909, at the earliest. These reserva-
tions are the Flathead and the Fort
Peck, in northeastern and northwest
ern Montana.
In the Flathead more than 1, coo, 900
acres of land will be- disposed of.
The Indians of the reservation have
already been allowed their tracts.
and the land that remains to be dis
posed of by the government is very
desirable. The fortunate ones in the
drawing will secure some of the
finest homesteads in the country. It
is expected that thousands of home
seekers will flock to western Montana
when these reservations are thrown
open.
The land will be opened in the
customary manner. There will be
a proclamation by the president. No
one will be permitted to settle upon
or make entry of the lands, except
as provided in the proclamation, and
Judging from the present, this will
be under the provisions of the home
stead law.
APPRAISED VALUES TO RULE.
The price of the land will be the
appraised value, as fixed by the COM
mission. Settlers under the home
stead law who reside upon and Gull
vate the land for five years will pay
one third of the homestead value in
cash at the time of entry, and the re-
mainder in one, two, three four and
FIVE years, respectively, after the date
of entry.
IF desired, computation proof can be
made at the end of 4 months resi-
dence and cultivation, and the full
payment of the balance Of the puchas-
ing price at that time
Mineral lands will be disposed of
under the United States mining laws,
the timber lands will be sold to the
highest bidder for cash. at public
auction. w. E. hubbart, one of
the mem pers of the Flathead apprais
ing commission says the reservation
cannot be opened for settlement be.
fore next May, depsite the fact that
the appraisal is being pushed to COM
pIetion with all possible rapidity.
There are 16 appraisers at work at
present.
IRRIGATION, DRY LAND FARMING,
The Fort Peck reservation is about
80 miles long, 40 miles wide, en-
bracing 1,776, 900 acres of unallotted
land. This reservation is traversed by
the Great Northern railway. and &C
cording to latest statistics there are
LOO Indians on it having tribal
rights.
The reclamation service, it is be- |
lieved, will install land irrigation
system near the Missouri river, en-
bracing something like S0,0 acres
of land of very fertile nature, and |
which will probably be limited to
so acre tracts for settlers.
The bill providing for the opening |
of his reservation carries an ap- |
preparation of $500, 600 for the purpose
of constructing the irrigation system.
There are no mineral lands and but
very little til her on this Ignite
coal.
1t is probable that with the excep-
tion of the so, 900 acres referred to,
dry land farming, so-called, will be

Cotton Moving

According to A. u. S hnabaum,
one of our local cotton dealers, the
cotton season opened this year from
20 to 80 days earlier than last. Up
to yesterday at noon Mr.. Selma
baum had bought 1856 loads and had
ginned and put up lao bales. The
same time last year he had not re-
ceived single load of cottoo, and
didn't start his gin until October 8,
The first load of cotton was sold in
Pocahontas last year on October g.,
and brought four cents; yesterday
Mr.. Schnabaum bought 3s loads for
which he paid S9.S5 per hundred.
Mr.. Schnabaum gives it as his opin-
ion that all the cotton will be
gathered and ginned by December l.
