ANOTHER DRAW THIS WEEK.
Williams Bros. to Cut the Seine; Will
Do Better Work.


From Tuesdays Daily.
The third draw of the seine at Madi-
son Lake was completed Sunday af-
ternoon, and did not result success
fully. Only 500 to 600 pounds of fish
We're brought in, and these were given
to the helpers, except three buffalo,
which were shipped to the homes of
the members of the firm. One was a
sixty-five FOUNDER, and the three to-
gether are thought to have weighed
l75 pounds. The seine was drawn in
the same place that it was first drawn,
and only a few game fish were caught,
several pickerel and about twenty crop
pies.
Williams Bros. decided to cut their
seine in two, so as to draw it in
more rapidly. 1t is thought that the
seine has come in so slowly that most
OF the fish have managed to go through
or around it. With a smaller net. it
can be drawn more rapidly and the
muddy bays scooped up. 1t is in such
places that the carp like to stay. The
next draw will be made the latter part
of this week.

ANENT MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
John Klein Has Something to Say
Regarding These Concerns.

heSdIuluS 1uCSS SOuC6IuS.
John Klein who established and was
for years actively engaged in one of
the most reliable business houses gives
to the public some very telling and
significant facts regarding the charac-
ter of goods filled through mail orders.
He referred to what he had read in
The Free Press of Saturday relative to
mail order houses.
Mr.. Klein's information comes from
out real experience gained from his con-
nection with the manufacture of furni-
ture, in which he was engaged at st.
Peter in company with his brother
Williams, and which was the manufac-
turing of furniture for mail order
houses.
Some of the pertinent facts are these,
said Mr.. Klein. "First the lumber used
for mail order furniture was full of
knot holes and was of nature that
couldn't be sold on the market for high
grade goods. We bought it at a very
low figure and made furniture out of
it that satisfied the mail order houses.
but in order to make it salable we
puttied, and painted and glued.
"We never took good clean sound
lumber to make tables when we were
filling mail order houses and we used
twenty three quarter screws for six
inches. Then again We always used
mallet nails with large heads in place
of screws and so could finish a table
in short order as a man could drive
twenty nails where he could not put in
more than four or six screws, and time
was money in such cases.
Mail orders are only good for the
man who can't see the advantage of
trading at home. Jealousy is the cause
81 once talked to a carpet-man and
asked him how it was that Chicago
men could buy carpet for less money
than we could when we buy for cash
He replied, the only thing you can dc
is to order not less than twenty five
rolls of carpet and then you can sell
carpets as cheap as they do. They
have the same pattern and the same
color but every yard is. four ounces te
the yard lighter in weight. If you
weigh your carpets, you will find out
for yourself They will be made es.
pecially for mail order houses like
everything else. People cannot buy
good goods for nothing, apd put them
on the market cheap.
Again it is the same when farmer
sells oats. Some oats really are two
or three cents better than other oats
but they're oats just the same. Hay
is also the same; some hay is better
than other hay, but still it has the
same name. Never talk to your neigh.
Dor about mail order houses, but pat
ronize your home merchants, then you
help Yourself"

WOULD FORCE FOLKS TO WED
Nothing But ul-Health Should Stand
in the Way of Marriage.

Chicago, Nov 23.-"There is only one
good reason for not getting married
and that is ill-health," declared the
Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins, pastor of
the Pilgrim Congregational church.
Rev. Mr.. Hopkins expressed himself
in sermon Sunday night that the
state ought to compel men to marry
for the same reason it compels educa-
ton and in some countries military
service.
Brutality and criminology are usu-
ally the only valid reason for divorce
and when granted for such reasons
neither party should be permitted to
remarry in less than three years and
in most cases the offending party
never" continued the pastor.
"If after suitable acquaintance a
girl would like to marry a man, but
he does not ask her, then let her ask
him." declared Mr. Hopkins.
"Some young men are simply toe
bashful for their own good and any
young girl ought to help out little
Woman is foolish if she does not get
married if she can"

BEES WORK FOR THE SCHOOL.
Busy Bodies Make the Honey That Will
Buy the Library.

Lake City, Iowa, Nov. 22-Little
Jimmie Willy, who attends school in
Garfield township, brought glass
tumbler to school and placed it on his
desk. The next day he brought pint
fruit jar and sat it on his desk as he
had done with the glass tumbler the
day before.
Miss Wright, the teacher, to satisfy
her curiosity, examined the jar and
found that Jimmie was collecting honey
which was dripping through place in
the ceiling where the plaster had fallen
away.
She brought her father Saturday and
discovered that the attic of the school
was full of honey.
The recent cold weather had so be-
numbed the bees that they had no diff
ficulty in carrying away 600 pounds of
the combs. When this is strained and
put up in glasses the pupils will mar
ket it.
The proceeds will be used in buvino
library for the little school district.

DECLARES FOR LAWS REPEAL
Trust Magnate Is Now Cunning for
the Sherman Act.

---~----~"~~
New York, Nov. 23.-In speaking
of the Standard Oil decision today
John ID. Archbold, vice president OF
the Standard Oil company, took an
optimistic view of the situation. He
said:
81 believe that the decision will re-
suit in legislation looking toward the
repeal of the Sherman anti trust act,
for under that law it is not only i'm
possible for practically any corporation
to transact business, but even CO.
partnerships may be attacked. 1 be-
lieve that the officials at Washington
are coming to the view that the law is
too drastic and that even Mr.. Roose-
Welt himself shared in that opinion .
Standard Oil stock was again af-
fected on the curb today by the fed
eral courts decision. The stock closed
at 600 on Saturday and the first
sale today was $50.
Ebert Fl. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel corporation,
speaking today as to what effect the
decision in the Standard Oil case
would nave upon the United States
Steel corporation, said:
Il do not think that the Standard
Oil decision will have any effect what
ever upon the United States Steel cor
poration. l have several good rea-
sons for believing this, but 1 do not
care to express them at the present"

NAL The Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce
has given the church an international
reputation through his worlds pulpit
on the front steps of the church, where
he speaks to many thousands on Sun
day evenings in the summer.
This church was begun under the
ministry of the Rev. DIR. Archibald
Maclay in 1909, in the Mulberry street
Baptist church. At that time also
there was organized in this church
one of the first church Bible schools
The Mulberry street church later
changed its name to the Tabernacle
Baptist church, and in 1850 occupied
its new house of worship in Second

church in the denomination.

MADE A SPECTACLE OF SELF.
Football Player Cried Because He Was
Barred From the Came


Minneapolis, Nov. 22.-"Billy" Was
mund, ineligible quarterback of the
Michigan team, became hysterical from
grief at the Plaza hotel Friday night
when he realized that the eligibility
rules bar him from the game today.
He was sitting alone in the lobby,
deep in thought, when suddenly he
burst into tears and buried his face
in his hands. All the efforts of friends
who rushed to relieve him seemed only
to increase his hysteria.
Breaking loose from those who sought
to comfort him, he jumped to his feet
and shouted at the top of his voice:
81 will play! They can't keep me
out!"
When friends sought to force him to
resume his seat he escaped, and it was
not until he was half overpowered and
half begged into submission that he sat
down.
For several minutes he sobbed and
the crowd of Michigan men gathered
about him were, it seemed, about to
join him in tears, when one stalwart
young man grabbed him by the shout
der, yanked him into the middle of the
floor, shook him, pounded him on the
back and otherwise attempted to do by
force what kind words had failed to
accomplish.
Then Wasmund had taste of real
football when others Joined in pun

smiling.

GERMS CARRIED TO THE SON
Remarkable Evidence of Means of
Transmitting Diphtheria.

AAoAoAhilliuS OiPntuclld.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 22.-Emil j.
Fogelberg, inspector of the health de-
partment, has taken diphtheria into
his home and his four year-old son is
seriously ill with the disease. 1t is
a unique case in the transmission of
the malady. Should no source of in
lection other than the fathers throat
be discovered, the case will furnish
tangible proof of suspicion enter
tanned by health officers that Threats
of healthy persons are often a serious
source of diphtneria contagion.
Mr.. Fogelberg had cases of diph-
liberia under his care. 1t is thought
that he carried the germs in his
throat. On account of Mr.. Fogelbergs
robust health, the germs failed to de-
velop but were communicated to mis-
little boy.
The child is too young to attend
school and there are no cases of diph-
liberia in the immediate neighborhood
Health department officers say that
the germs may be carried in perfectly
healthy threats for months, and con.
tact with the person thus affected
may communicate the disease to per.
sons who are in such condition oil
health as to be susceptible. In one
case the germs remained in a patient:
throat for sixteen months, although
the illness lasted but few weeks
By the regulations of the state
board of health diphtheria patients
can be kept in quarantine only seven
weeks. Some of the city physicians
consider this time too short.

WORK IS CUT SHORT
CAPT. AND MRS. NORWOOD VISIT
WINONA; BRIEF STAY.
Christian Workers Are Not Royalty
Received; Head of the Salvation
Army Interferes With Their Solici
tation For Funds; Both Were in
Mankat0 For Few Weeks;
Charged With Being Imposters.

Winona, Nov. 22.-Imposters-pure
and simple-were at work in Winona
Saturday but were driven from the
city before they had succeeded in col
Letting more than a few dollars in the
residence section. Under the guise of
religious workers, with the aim in the
world of uplifting fallen young women,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. Norwood came here
dressed in the uniform very much re-
sembling those worn by the Salvation
Army. The name of their organiza-
tion they said was the Christian
Workers.
Warning Reached City.
Warning had reached this city some
time ago to tie effect that imposters
under the name of Christian Workers
were barred in Minneapolis and driven
from the city. There was reason at
that time to believe they would come
here. Captain Nelson, of the local
Salvation Army barracks, detected the
pair at work here Saturday morning
early but they willingly pulled up
stakes and made for greener fields on
the morning Northwestern train.
The couple in coming here were
careful not to come in contact with
the Merchants and Business Mems as
ISOLATION and did not seek their en-
dorsement, nor did they attempt to
collect money in the business district
of Winona. Rather they were content
to move in the residence section.
Carried Their Pamphlets.
They carried pamphlets containing
information relative to the ''Home for
Unfortunates at Zumbrota, Minn.,' y
whittier they intended establishing
their headquarters. the pamphlet
frontpiece was made up with half
tone reproduction of the building they
intended to purchase. eff 1t Was Your
Daughter, Sister or Friends" appeared
in black letters. The appeal for as
sistance further was a "steal'' direct
from the literature of the Salvation
Army.
Major and Mrs. Norwood were ar
rested in Rochester some time ago
when it was learned that the Zum-
brota people believed they were deaY-
ing with the Salvation Army and
would, under no conditions, sell to the
Christian Workers, which is an extinct
organization driven from Denver un-
worthy of support. They succeeded in
getting out of the Rochester muddle
by stating they intended to purchase
elsewhere.
Name Probably an Alias.
The name is probably an alias
adopted by the man who formerly
lived here. The woman is Mrs. Flo
Johnson, until recently resident of
this city. She is well known. The
literature carried by the two and left
in their wake, contained halftone re-
productions of both "Mr. and Mrs.
Norwood" and there is little doubt
that the woman is none other than
the Mrs. johnson so well known here.
Secretary Bierce of the Business
Mems association has been put on his
guard should they return.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norwood were in Man.
kato during the early summer So
far as known they did not obtain
much money here. They had estab-
lished headquarters on North Front
street and called themselves Christian
Workers.
