The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-11-19

The private banking firm of H. B.
Fargo & Co.. of Deerfield closed its
doors Monday pending reorganization
as a state bank.
Wealthy citizens of Deerfeld and vi
cinity have agreed to take over the in
stitution and organize state bank if
the members of the old company will
agree to a settlement on the value OF
commercial paper held by them.
1t is understood that the old company
has deposits for $4,000 and resources
sufficient to cover them.
The Deerfield bank is one of those
that has failed to comply with the law
relating to incorporation and the time
fixed by the law, in which it might in
corporate, passed some time ago. Time
was extended under an understanding
that the incorporation wonld be accom-
plished in short time, but as the ar
engagements did not proceed as rapidly
as was expected the bank has been
closed, temporarily at least. 1t is I'M
derstood that whatever is done in the
way of reorganization or otherwise the
depositors will suffer no loss.

Card Of Thanks.

To our many friends and neighbors,
who have ministered to Us so faithful
1y in our deep affliction, we extend
our heartfelt thanks. During the long
illness and death of our loved ones
we have had not simply in words but
in deeds the tangible evidences of
Christian charity. In these few lines
ne cannot express al we feel.
May our kind Heavenly Father
spare them, in His mercy, such an aw-
full trial. and may their reward be
an exceedingly great and eternal
weight Of glory.

we woke we found that We had been
lying on a dead man, one perhaps
whom we had been opposing in the
fray. At this time We could not raise
Our heads above the works or we
would be shot. So we worked little
/ holes through the works and fired
through them.
We think we heard bullets make all
the different sounds that night that
we ever heard. Some cackled like
chickens. some bleated like lambs,
others screamed like cats and so on.
About one o'clock We got orders
for every man to take care of him
self. Shortly after this friend OF
mine proposed that We would work
our way out. We crawled down the
ditch two hundred yards to the woods
then rose and ran for life. The writ
er fell into a hole Of water up to the
armpits, waded through, pulled out
and went on. We came to a line OF
men in our rear. composed of ker-
shaw's Brigade who had cut line OF
works during the evening and night.
So now we were prepared to evacuate
the front line.
We were told that camps were ar
ranged for us in the rear and that we
would be excused from all duty for
three days. About daylight what was
left of our company were IN and
ready to cook and eat breakfast.
On the morning Of the second day
a friend and the writer went over to
look at the battlefield. AS We went
we met an old man and his wife going
back home. They lived right in the
bend of the works. We tried to keep
them from going but in vain. They
had little meal and were going home
to bake it. We gathered some sticks
and made them little fire. The
house was nearly torn to pieces Dy
the shells. Their children were IN
the army. The men who We're killed
in the bitches were buried by throw
ing the top Of the breastworks on
them. The numberless ones who fell
on the field lay very much as they had
fallen.
Truly it was an awful sight to see.
There was an oak tree, twenty-five
inches in diameter, standing on the
works at the right Of our company
which was cut down by minnie balls.
It fell just before night.
We must say this battle was an ex-
perience for boy seventeen years old
as the writer was then.

Mrs. Hendrix was a consistent
member Of the Methodist church and
did certainly "look we'll to the ways

Miss Lucy was also a member Of
the Methodist church and its Sabbath
school. She was young woman OF
much promise, and in that spirit of
Christian love which all should exer-
else, she was member Of East End
Baptist Sabbath school where she was
much appreciated. Her seat was sell
dom vacant and her lessons carefully
prepared. She was joy and strength
to her teacher. The last time she was
at church was just after Easter, the
Sabbath evening Of Children's day.
She had fever then but rallied and
gave a beautiful recitation in a most
cultivated way. Many were the con-
eratulations she received.
In the enterprises Of the church
Miss Lucy took a deep interest, and
will be sadly missed in the/East End
village.
For twelve long weeks She lay with
fever and measles. Sometimes we
had great hopes Of her recovery, but

VOTES FOR THE INTELLIGENT

CATIONAL TEST.
Woman Suffragist Declares Fifteenth
Amendment Political Blunder
That Has Done Great Harm.

BALTIMORE. Md, March TT con-
slider the fifteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States the greatest
political blunder of which / know, and
that it has done great harm"
This declaration was made today by
Rev. DR.. Anna II. Shaw. president of the
National American Woman Suffrage AS
sociation, who is here to address a meet
ing tomorrow under the auspices of the
Woman Suffrage Club of this city. The
decla ara tion was made In the course of an
interview of which the subject was the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
of this state which will be voted on at the
next election. 1t was pointed out To DIR.
Shaw that the proposed amendment pro-
vides for an educational and property
qualification, and carries also what is
known as a grandfather clause" which
would. in its application, disfranchise
practically every negro voter in Maryland,
and she was asked If she would favor it,
She replied that she would favor the edu-
cational but not the property qualifica-
ton. and i'm this connection made the
quoted above.
In response to an inquiry whether she
would extend the suffrage TO negro
women, DIR. Shaw said that she would not
against them on account of
their color, but that she believes the bal
lot should be placed in the hands of
those only who are intelligent, whether
they be male or female. white or black.

HARTMAN ON HIS way EAST
NO INDICATION SHOWN OF HIS
EARLY RETIREMENT.
Calls the Attention of His Callers
to the Improvement of His
Physical Condition.

BURLINGAME, Cal, March Eff Ed
ward III. Hartman contemplates retire.
ment in the near future he does not in
tend the fact shall be known prior to his
return to New York. The improvement
in his physical condition. in which he
calls the attention of each visitor, has
shortened the period of his stay on the
Pacific coast and tonight his special train
was headed eastward, carrying Mr.. Har-
riman and the members of the original
party which includes his daughter, his
physician and Mr.. and Mrs. Goelet.
Railroad officials who have been in close
touch with the magnate since his arrival
in California expressed confidence that
there would be no early announcement of
plan whereby Mr.. Hartman is to trans
fer to the shoulders of trusted lieutenants
share in the direction of his complex
business affairs.
With the inspection of the lines in Mex
leo achieved and his desire to observe
other matters of minor Importance grati-
fed. it is said that he has fingered in
this state solely because he felt himself
able to spare the time. Occasionally
twinges of rheumatism are said to have-
caused him more Inconvenience than has
developed from any nervous disorder, and
it is the general belief that he was able
to convince DIR. Dixon, his physician, that
there was no actual necessity for a more
protracted stay at Paso Robes.

CALMLY AWAITS HER FATE
WOMAN TO DIE IN ELECTRIC
CHAIR TOMORROW.
Mrs. Farmer to Have Final Inter-
view With Husband Today. :.
Has Made No Confession.

AUBURN. n. Y, March 27.-Some time
tomorrow Mrs. Mary Farmer, who is to
die in the electric chair early Monday
morning for the murder of Mrs. Sarah
Brennan at Brownvile, will have a final
interview with her husband. Jim Farmer.
Just what hour the interview will take
place has not been given out. but it is
believed that the woman will be taken
from the womens prison. where she has
been confined since her conviction, to the
mems prison and placed in an isolated
cell. Farmer will probably be taken
from the condemned cells where he IS
waiting action on his appeal from the
conviction of murder for completely in
strong guard he will be permitted to see
his wife. How long the two will be al
lowed to remain together Warden Ben
ham has declined to state.
Mrs. Farmer has given no indication of
breaking down. and remains apparently
oblivious to the near approach of her
end. She talks very little with any one,
excepting her spiritual adviser. Rev.
the prison. Father Hickey, in an inter-
view tonight denied that Mrs. Farmer
had made any confession to him exoner-
ating her husband He declared that
whatever communication the woman had
made to him was under the seal of the
confessional and would not be given TO
the public. He explained however, that
if Mrs. Farmer made any statement for
publication before the execution he
would give it to the press as soon as the
electrOcution was over.
All the arrangements for the electrocu-
tion are complete. Mrs. Farmer will
wear to the chair plain black dress,
the skirt of which will be bifurcated, the
more readily to facilitate the adjustment
of the electrode upon the leg.
\ number of women physicians were
invited to witness the electrocution, and
two of the invitations were at first ac-
cepted, but it was learned tonight that in
both instances the acceptance had been
retracted.

Electric Car Given Right of
of Way, Runs Into Another.
THREE PERSONS KILLED
Two Others Probably Fatally In.
jured in the Collision.
ACCIDENT NEAR BRYANT. PA.
Motormen Bravely Stick to Their
Posts and Do Their Best to
Lessen the Shock.

PITTSBURG. Pa, March 21.-Thrce
persons were killed. two probably fatally
hurt and fifteen others sustained injuries
that necessitated their removal TO their
homes late this afternoon in head-on
collision between two electric ears on the
Pittsburg and Butler Street railway near
Bryant Station, this county.
The dead:
H. J. Cross. aged thirty-five years OF
Mars. Pa. conductor of the southbound
car, died of internal injuries while being
removed to hospital.
Alfred W. Snyder. aged twenty-seyen
years. purchasing agent of the PttsburS
and Butler Street Railways Company, his
home being at New Haven. Conn.
Albert Heindman, aged forty years. OF
this city, fare collector on the north
bound car
Probably fatally injured:
Lon Kelly, motorman of the southbound
car, right leg fractured and probable in
jured internally.
J. w. Meyers. Bellevue. Pa. a passen-
ger. right leg broken. thought To be in
jurde internally.
Snyder and Heindman were standing
with the motorman on the northbound
car when the accident occurred. and il Is
remarkable that Kelly was not killed
outright.
Mistake in Orders.
The accident is said to have been
caused by a mistake in orders given the
southbound car. This car, which was
known as limited, had been held up for
an hour at a grade crossing at Mars. Pa.
until the tracks there had been cleared
of wreckage caused by a freight car on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad leaving
the tracks.
When the line was cleared. II is said.
the car was ordered to go through to this
city The road is single tracked and the
northbound car, running on the best
oncoming limited at a curve near Bryant
Station, throwing the trucks of both cars
off the rails. Had the cars themselves
left the tracks they would undoubtedly
have gone over a steep embankment
along the road at that point, which would
have meant death to all the passengers
and employees on the cars.
Motormen Stick to Their Posts.
Owing to the curve in the road neither
moterman knew of the approach OF the
other car until the collision was inevita-
BILE. Both men tried to lessen the shock
by applying the air brakes and remaining
bravely at their posts.
Doctors were quickly hurried to tho
scene of the wreck and the dead and seri-
ously in njured we're removed to "A hospital
at Butler. Pa. All the passengers of both
cars were badly shaken up. most of them
receiving cuts and bruises. but only fif-
teen needed medical attention and assist
ance in reaching their homes.

domination OF political cliques and the
mischievous use of political machinery by
special interests. There has been no
more significant political movement in
the last dozen years than the efforts
which have been made TO emancipate
party voters from the thraldom of their
own organization and to secure to them
their rights. The system of direct nomi-
nations is in vogue in practically one
half the states. Nearly one-third of the
population of the United States are un-
der systems of direct nominations pro-
vided for by mandatory laws.
Sentiment in New York.
Some may think that New York is
remote from this current of public opin-
ion. They are mistaken. 1t has reached
our neighboring states; it is here now.
After time even those who are so con-
stantly engaged in defying public senti-
ment that they are the most insensible
to it will feel its force. The wise policy
is to express this wholesome American
sentiment in a reasonable and practical
manner, SO that We may secure its bene-
ficial influence and at the same time
provide measures which are workable,
and in their working will commend them
selves to the sound judgment of our
people,.
