and returning he had chatted with the
men at work on the walks and seemed
to be in the best of health and spirits.
He walked away from the place where
the men were working toward the rear
part Of the lot and one of the men saw
him fall to the ground. Thinking that

lie hurried to his assistance and found
that he was unconscious. The other
men at work about the house were call
ed and the dying man was carried into

ffutter of the heart valves after the
doctor arrived and he stated that the

been deposed from the proud place it
has held for 50 many years as the lead

OPEN DEAD LETTERS
Move To Abolish the Dead Let.
ter Office in Washington
To Be Discussed
QUESTION FOR CONVENTION

'EShall dead first class mail be dis
posed of by the postmaster?' is a
question upon which there is difference
Of opinion among postmasters and of
fcials of the postoffice department.
The abolition of the dead letter office
and the opening of unaddressed and
lost letters and their return or destruc-
ton by the postmasters is advocated
by many
This and other topics Of interest to
postmasters, and in many Of which the
public also is concerned, will be dis
cussed at the sixth annual convention
of the Wisconsin Association of Post
masters at Oshkosh on Aug. 10, 20 and
21.
Government ownership of the furniture
in all Offices will be advocated by the
postmasters Only first class offices are
now provided with furniture In other
Offices the postmaster must provide the
furniture. 1t is urged that this is I'M
fair and that the uniformity in the Of
fees which will be secured by govern
ment ownership Of furniture is desira-
BILE.
The proposal to establish postal saw
ings banks and rural parcels post will
be reviewed and favored. The postal
deficit will also be discussed.
A protest will be entered against
Transparent or ''look out0 envelopes
This envelope is provided with STRIP
of transparent material on the face and
the address is written on the letter
underneath. Much trouble and delay
is experienced by postmasters and
clerks in distinguishing the address,
which is often partly concealed under
meath the Opaque part Of the envelope.
The envelope is a recent invention and
is largely used by commercial houses.
Legislation prohibiting it's use will be
asked by the postmasters.
Among those who will attend the con-
vention are Postmaster David G. Owen

CALLS ]. A. AWKWARD
|. c. Bohmricb, Formerly of Ke-
nosha, Sends Open Letter
to Madison Candidate
ORDERS HIM OUT OF RACE

Louis G.. Bohmrich, formerly Of Ke-
nosba and former candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, has
sent out a red hot open letter from
Milwaukee which reveals a bitter fight
in the ranks Of the Democracy Of the
state. Mr.. Bohmrich, who has been
active in promoting the candidacy Of
A. j. Schmitz Of Milwaukee, boldly de-
mands that John A. Awkward of Madi-
son, who is seeking the Democratic
nomination for governor get out of the
race and leave the race free to a better
candidate. The letter of the former
Kenosha lawyer is exceedingly bitter
and it is being sent to many Democrats
in this part of the state with a view
Of forcing them to support Schmitz for
the nomination. The letter is as fol
lows
IT have before me a copy of your
astounding circular ISSUED over your
signature under date Of Aug. 3, 1908,
attempting to impress upon the voters
your peculiar views why you should be
preferred by them for the nomination
of governor on the Democratic ticket
against Adolph J. Schmitz, and in con
nection Herewith what purports to be
an interview and advertisement of your
self, appearing in The State Journal Of
the 18th inst
"Why you should thus disparage the
German-American Democratic voters by
innuendo and garbled statistics IS hard
to explain, except that it IS IN accord
with your unexplained flop from a bitter
anti -Bryanite to the disgusting firta-
lions in which you now indulge.
"Both communications referred to
are. undignifed and unworthy Of any
man who aspires to as high an Office as
you do. Were you fair, you would have
stated that Bohmrich received $1,000
votes more than you dad, and 1000
votes more than Mr.. Bryan did in 1900.
N"You complain Of apathy on the part
Of Democratic leaders during the cam
paign Of 1906. Do you think that your
candidacy, which was successful in
keeping 81 900 Democrats at home two
years ago, is a recommendation for sup
port Of your ambition now?
"You received 1887 votes less in
1906 than in the previous campaign of
1904 were cast for Mr.. Peck. Do you
think, when your candidacy successfully
kept at home 73,187 Democratic votes,
that that is a recommendation for your
present ambition?
you received less votes in 1906 than
any Democratic gubernatorial candidate
received since 1881. Does this fact
stimulate your ambitiong
"You received II ,415 votes less than
Woodward received in 1886, and the
latter received the lowest vote cast at
any time and yet the total vote in 1906
was 81, 440 more than in 1886.
In the communications referred to,
you declare your warm interest for
party success. Do you not think, in view
Of the above, that for the best interests
of party success, you withdraw from
the feld90

BIG COMET COMING
Comet With Brilliant Appendage
TO Be Seen Latter Part Of
Year and First Of Next
ONCE IN SEVENTY.FIvE YEARS

Halley's comet, the most sensational
OF the sky truants known to astrono-
mers, has Topped the loop in it's whirl
through billion miles Of space and is
heading this way again on the visit
which it makes to these parts every
seventy-fve years. Elaborate prepare
tions are being made for photograph
ing the visitor by astronomers at the
various government observatories. The
first plate will be exposed two weeks
from tonight, and at close intervals
thereafter throughout the fall, winter
and spring Of 1908 '09.
The comet will not be visible to the
naked eye, however, until well along in
1909, and will swoop into it's perihelion,
the point Of it's course closest to the
sun, about May 10, 1910
Will it strike the earth and smash
things into bits2 This has been pop
ular fear ever since this heavenly visi-
tor was first observed, along about 70
B. O., but the authorities now assert
that we are bound to squeeze by with
several million miles to spare.
No other comet has had the influence
on the human race which this one has
had through the dread inspired by its
brilliancy and sensational size. To it,
fol instance, is due the current practice
in the Roman Catholic churches Of ring
ing the church bells at noon This was
Initiated by special edict of Pope Calix-
us in 1856, who, it may be recalled add
ed to the Ave Marias of that year the
famous prayer, "Deliver US from the
devil, the Turks and the comet.'
More than one English historian
blames Halley's comet for the weakness
of the Anglo-Saxon resistance to the
invasion Of William the Conqueror in
1866.
Curiously enough, nothing is known
as to the speed with which this comet
travels. All that is known is that it
returns, approximately speaking, every
twenty-five years and that its own orbit
is tilted at an angle Of seventeen or
eighteen degrees away from the horizon
tai plane in which the earth and the
other planets swim.
