"King's Fool is s"laugh and learn"
and by sugaring life with a grin
to rob it of it's woes and heavy
cares. BY the aid of caricatures
in chalk the lecturer drove home
truths while the kings jest shook
his bells and cracked his pleasant
ries. Pictures and talk were dol
ed out in generous measure, and
all present got their moneys
worth. About S32 was realized
for the library.
At the conclusion of the lecture

New York. - President Patrick
III. Mccormick, of the local typo
graphical union, known as the
"Big Six" and George w. Jack
son and Vincent j. Costello, union
organizers, to-day were fined $3.50
each and sentenced to 30 days i'm
prisonment for disobedience of an
injunction. Thomas Bennett and
William S. Anderson were fined
800 on the same charge by Justice
Bischoff, in the supreme court.
This is the first time any such
heavy sentence in the case of a
labor organization for violation of
an injunction has been imposed in
these courts. The troubles grew
out of the strike of typographical
union No. 6, ordered early in 1906,
against the ASSOCIATION Of employ
ers known as the Typothetae of
the City of New York, for closed
shop and an eight-hour day.
Soon after the going out of the
men, the officers of the typothetae
complained that the strikers were
practlcIng intimidation against
their employees who remained at
work and those who took che
places of the strikers, and were
resorting to violence. They were
enjoined from so doing.

Count Won Muegge is Dead

Counter Baron-John Won
Muegge-peace be to his ashes-is
dead.
Word to that etfe ct has been re-
ceived from relatives at Hanover
Germany, and thus ends the care
er of former United States de-
putty marshal, of Chillicothe, one
of the most picturesque characters
Ohio political history has ever
known. He Huh? Huh? Yes?
Mop" mis- tales of his family's vast
estates in Germany, his stories of
private and confidential conferen-
ces with great statesmen, his stor-
les of great arrests made while he
was United States deputy marsh
al for Southern Ohio, will be rem
embered as long as any politician
lives who knew him.
Count John Won Muegge died
as he lived, a mystery, in a way
to the mass of those who knew
him. He came to the United
States with tale of being black
sheep who was endeavoring to
reinstate himself in the good
graces of his wealthy family. His
father was supposed to have died,
leaving him fortune on condition
that he prove himself "a man-and
the proof was to be that he should
hold government position in the
United States for 10 years.
The story may or may not have
been true. AS shrewd a man as
former Congressman Charles Ill.
Grosvenor is, he believed it, and
he put Won Muegge in the office of
Deputy Marshal Viv Fagin. Fag-
in didn't like Won Muegge's vag
aries, and sent him to Chillicothe.
Chillicothe didn't like him very
we'll, either, and finally Fagin got
rid of him.
Ohio hasn't known much about
him since. He was at various
parts of the country by Ohio peo-
pie, and it was said he was at one
time a policeman in San Francisco
still serving the 10 years in the
government service " the Ger
man idea of the government IN
cluding the police as well, because
German police are an arm of the
German government.
The last seen of him was by
Clark Doughty, assistant clerk of
the senate. During the James
town Exposition he saw Won
Muegge at Norfolk. He was
"down and out, "and Doughty got
him minor position in railroad
office.
1t has been charged that Won
Muegge was neither count nor
baron, that his father had no mon
ey and von Muegge whole story
was fake and he was swindlsr,
But no one ever proved 1t. BE that
as it may, the count served good
natured purpose in the world.
