That is the Action Taken by Council
in Peterson Case.
Testimony in the Case was
Taken and Action was
Based on This.

An adjourned meeting of
the Common Council was held
at the Office of the city clerk
last evening for the purpose
of hearing the testimony in
the case wherein it had bee n
asked that the Peterson
license be revoked on the
grounds that gambling had
been permitted on the prem
ises. The case has been up
two times before and had been
adjourned in both instances.
A good deal of interest was
taken in it for the reason that
it is the first case that has
ever come up before the coun-
Gil where it has been asked
that a license be revoked, and
the council chambers were
crowded with spectators.
The meeting was called to
order at eight thirty o'clock
and the matter was immed-
lately taken up. Several wit
nesses were called In order to
show that gambling had been
permitted on the premises but
very little could be gotten out
of them, they refusing to
testify giving as the reason
that it might incriminate
them. After the rssl Agone'
in the case had all been taken
the council took up the mat
ter of revoking the license.
When the question was put to
a vote nine voted for revoking
the license an6 one against.
Afterwards the vote was
changed to make it unani-
nous.

The Largest f ish
Others Will Have to go Some
to Keep up With
This.

They say that is was a lake
trout but some are inclined to
think that it was a small sized
whale. At any rate the fish
caught Sunday by William Terry
is the largest that has been
caught in the waters of Chequa-
megon bay for many a year and
it's equal may never be caught
again. Terry and his companion
were fishing with hook and line
through the ice over near Long
island. All of a sudden Terry
felt a heavy pull on his line and
he knew that he had caught a
big fellow and the question was
how best to land him; Terry
played with the fish until it was
completely played out and then
he pulled it through the hole in
the ice. It was a monster and
when dressed tipped the scale at
just thirty-two and a half pounds.
William Henderson of Houghton
heretofore held the record for
large fish but he will have to try
his luck again if he wants to keep
up with this one.

It's good time to start your subscriptions Begin NOW
Breaking Camp
On Account of Soft Weather
Winter Logging is About
Over.

During the present week near
ly half Of the camps on the reser-
vation at Odanah will cease oper-
ations for the winter, and it will
not be long before all of the log
gers operating in Northern Wis
consin will cease work. Ryan
and Morrison at Odanah have al.
ready broke camp and others are
following. There is a few camps
that have not yet completed their
contract and will continue to run
as long as the snow lasts.
The disastrous fire of last fall
badly Quilted the big timber on
he reservation, as well as in
in every section of this region.
Thus the Stearns Lumber COM
pany officials decided that they
would log as much timber as
possible. twenty-five camps have
accordingly been running all win
ter. On the whole. the season
has been very satisfactory there
being enough snow and cold
weather to keep the logging
roads in good condition with two
or three exceptions, when soft
weather was encountered.

r HUNDREDS of people inspect this big
building operation every week: Many
i them looking for the one best home value
they can buy-many others inspect the
properties with the view of becoming familiar with
the wonderful development that is going in this
beautiful and now we'll known home section.
We offer to both an equally courteous service
in giving any information that is desired
Our object being not only to effect sales, bot
to point out the advisability of home ownership
and to fully explain the conditions under which
may acquire one of these homes on terms that
necessitate no more work energy, or, in fact,
more obligation, than rent paying.
We offer as substantial proof that good values
are offered here the fact that within the past yearwe
have sold in this tract one and half million
dollars worth of home property. Come talk with
us, or with our clients, who represent best
references-the families who have already pur-
chased from us-in any event, come see the
development.

JUST OPEN YOUR EYES.

Let the far-minded Salt Lake simply open
his eyes and that wooden matter in the
side The original contract for sixteen thou
sand dollars. If the work had been done exactly ac
eordng TO contract the price would have been big
enough-and would have provided melon Of respecta-
bic size for the cutting of the crowd.
But the attempt to give Pat Moran twenty thou
sand dollars to repair that pipe, before was
nished-is of the things that cannot be explained
II the taxpayer,
1t will be observed that Mr.. Bransford has done
everything in his power to give Moran the money.
Moran far too valuable to Bransford in the pre-
convention campaign to be ignored now And his per-
fectly impossible bill has been raroaded just fan
as Bransford and the bosses Of the American party
can send it.
Owing to the stern objection of Mr.. Murdoch sec
Onded by few of his fellow councilmen, the claim
has been held up. And it is possible, through the
disclosures Mr.. Murdoch has compelled, that little
money may be Topped off the repair" price.
That will leave little less graft than has been
planned by the machine. But it will be rich
enough in all conscence-for work that to have
cost sixteen thousand dollars is going to cost thirty
thousand at the very least
Open your eyes, citizens, and take warning. The
gang is fattening the graft it grabs from the
pockets of the people.

WHAT EZRA THOMPSON PROVED.

When Ezra Thompson mayor of the city, he
insisted being mayor. He recognized the fact that
no always have his way, and made such
concessions had in order to keep peace in the
party.
But he came to the place where he was commanded
abjectly obey the dictates of the gang and he posi-
lively refused the fight that followed it made
if he did not do the gang demanded, the
gang would defeat his every move for the good of
the city, They were willing to scuttle the ship in or
der to coerce the captain.
Ezra Thompson resigned the Office of mayor of
Salt Lake simply because he could not do his duty.
The gang too strong for him. They drove him
out of office. And in doing they proved that mo
elected appointed official in the city of Salt Lake
responsible the people,, but that every officer is
sponsible to the gang,
That is what Ezra Thompson proved. And unless
the people Of this city like the gang to control the
vote Nov. will be against the candidate of the
gang, John S, Bransford and the rest of his ticket

THE CARTOON AND THE CAMPAIGN.

Always and everywhere the cartoon has a good
deal to do with the effectiveness of campaign John
McCutcheon has probably turned votes with his
pencil in the Chicago Record. and later in the Chi
cago Tribune. than any public speaker that ever
went stump.
And The Herald Republican is a little proud of
the work of its cartoons the present campaign
in this city Mr. Bowman has great grasp of his sub
ject perfect understanding the ncetes that need
expression they will be remembered And he has
the skill to put down paper the salient points of
the argument
That is particularly successful effort of Tuesday
morning Everyone recalls the fine old picture called
1.-The Spirit of Seventy-six." The people back of the
present city party's candidates for office declare
their cause is the same sacred glorious and patriotic
that inspired the who made the immortal
trio of the revolutionary day. And the artist has
successfully expressed sanitys view of the bosses
claim.
And it is great trio that has been linked together
by the logic of the present situation. John Brans-
ford father of the soekad helper of the official
tractor in every effort graft hacker Of the boodlers
who order city fire engines without authority Of the
council, adviser of ways and means to spend the
money. He is Number One.
Martin Mulvey. declared by the Tribune his own
party organ, TO be gambler. the friend OF crooks
the promoter of prizefghts and the representative
the underworld. He is Number Two.
And George Sheets. who when chief of police man.
aged settlement by which the thieves gave back
thousand dollars of ten thousand stolen drove
the victims-whom the Tribune called suckers from
Scotland"-out of town, and molested the rob-
bers. And George is Number Three.
Nice trio. aren't they to be asking for control OF
the city again?
You watch the cartoons, for they are going to
make even more clear the already perfectly evident
truth that Mr.. Bransford and his friends should be
defeated.
