Was Formerly Employed Here As
Barber and Somehow Learned the
Fact that the Sheriff Wanted Him
and skipped the Town.
Sheriff Fennell has landed another
tiger behind the prison bars for
handling corn in violation Of the
law.
For several months Sheriff Fennell
had suspected Simmons OF dealing in
the hot liquid and thought that he
would be able to place his hands upon
his man at most any old time, but
in this the genial sheriff was mis-
taken.
Someone had evidently notified the
negro. for when he was wanted it was
found that he had left the city for
parts unknown. and 1t was only within
the past few weeks that Sheriff Fen
nell succeeded in locating him.
He was found TO be working at his
trade OF barber and the sheriff went
over to Jacksonville and easily land
ed his prey, bringing him to this city
on Sunday evening
Simmons is barber by trade and
has worked at that business here for
the past two years, and the. greater
part OF this time. It is said. he dealt
in whiskey.
just before the converting Of court,
however he was caught in the act,
but as he was not arrested just at

A WEAKNING FACTOR.

An effective element of weakness
in the Republican party is found in
an indifference that keeps many Re-
publicans at home on election day.
This is a weakness for which a full
Republican vote would prove an in.
fallible remedy. Republicans who
are prone to allow elections to go
by default so far as they are indi-
vidually concerned should reflect
upon this proposition and ask them
selves whether or not they should
assist in applying the remedy. The
indifference 10 governmental affairs
displayed by many good citizens
who think politics too rotten for
them to have anything to do with is
in a great measure responsible for
the abuses so unsparingly condemn
ed by people who are "out of poll
tics" Let them give more attention
to civil government and go into poll
tics with a view to improving exist
ing conditions, and there will be
less cause for complaint,

ent day politicians are not happy

THE WATERWAYS CONVEN=
TON.

The waterways convention held
in Chicago last week was the lare-
est ever held for the consideration
of this important subject, and indi-
Gated a rapidly increasing public
sentiment in favor of the general
government entering upon the i'm
provement of our waterways upon a
tar more comprehensive scale than
has ever before been attempted.
This gigantic project is for the
benefit of the entire country, and
will not be hampered by political
party considerations. The carrying
out of the proposed plan of i'm
provements will so enlarge trans
portation facilities and at the same
time so cheaper rates as to favor
ably affect the prices of agricultural
products.

Motion carried.
Moved and seconded that it be

The following resolution was
passed;
Whereas, We believe that better
roads are of vital Importance to the
people of our state, especially to oul
farmers, statistics showing that I'M
der present highway conditions il
costs the average farmer more tt
move his crop to his local market
than it does to transport the same
from the local market to the market:
of the world,
Be 1t Resolved, That we heartily
favor the adoption of the proposed
good roads amendment to the stat,
constitution to the end that stat,
aid may be granted for the con
struction of permanent highways il
the same manner that the state nov
extends aid to the common schools
and urge all voters to vote in favo
of such amendment.

STATE AID FOR ROAD BUILD
ING.

State aid for road building was
first given in Europe. Germany
whose good roads please every
traveller and rouse the fond mem
cries of every loyal son of the
Fatherland recognized a hundred
years ago that the roads are a mat
ter of vital public concern, and that
bad roads are largely due to the
fact that the country land owners
were expected to bear the whole
burden. They began then to give
government aid for the improve
ment of the roads.
State Aid for roads was first
granted in this country by New
Jersey sixteen years ago, and now
that state has thousands of miles
of roads that rival those of Europe.
This movement was SO popular in
New Jersey that other states rapid
ly took up with the plan and now
over half of the states give some
form of state aid for roads.
Wisconsin is the only one of the
really progressive states that gives
no state aid and the only state in
the Union which has a constitution
forbidding it to give such aid. This
certainly should be changed. Wis
consin leads in most progressive
things, and it is hurt to our pride
that ours is the tail-ender in the
matter of roads.
But we hope to see this changed.
An amendment to the constitution
will be submitted this fall making
it possible for our state to join the
procession of states giving aid for
roads. If the voters do what they
should there will be such an over
whelming vote in favor of the
amendment that our next legisla-
ture will see the necessity of doing
all it can to put Wisconsin in the
lead.
The danger is great, however that
on the long ballots that will con-
front the voters, they will forget the
obscure amendments at the bottom
of the sheet. Tie a string to your
finger so YOU won't be one of those
to forget it.

Konkel ought to regard that as a
sufficient reason why the Republic
ans should prefer Lenroot to him.

Our Uncle Samuel gets more
particular every day in the matter
of postal rules and regulations.
His latest edict through the post
office department is that stamps de-
faced or in any way rnutilated shall
henceforth be placed on the taboo"
list. Letters or packages having
upon them torn or damaged stickers
will hereafter be held at the office of
mailing for two weeks and if not
claimed within that time are to be
sent to the dead letter Office at the
head of the district in which they
were mailed whence they get trip
to Washington. In times past it
has been customary to let mail pass
where the stamps were torn or
corner was missing but it has been
found that certain loyal citizens of
this free country had taken the
freedom of using stamps over again
where they were lightly cancelled
on the extreme edge or on corner
of the stamp-a practice easily car
ried out by tearing off the corner
or side of the stamp. Stamps ac-
cidentally torn can now be redeemed
if turned in at the office, just as the
stamped envelopes have been re-
deemed for some time past. If you
have mutilated stamps in your
possession the transmission of your
mail will be facilitated if you will
neglect TO use them.

THE FOREST FIRES.

The terrible devastation wrought
by forest fires in this country is
subject of vital interest. In our
next issue this subject will be ably
treated in an article entitled, For
est Fires Cost America $50, 100000
Year" by H. w. Pullman, illustrat-
ed with photographs.
The writer is a member of the
staff of the Government Forest Ser
vice, and has been selected by the
department for the work of compil-
ing the facts and figures of the dis
astrous forest fires. Such work
places him in touch with the subject
in all it's phases, and he is undoubt-
eddy the best qualified man in Amer
lea to write such an article as we
will give. The illustrations are
made direct from photographs taken
by the government, and are quite as
interesting as the article. 1t is a
feature that will be of extreme in
terest and will be worth careful
reading by every one of our readers.
Watch our next issue for it.
