President Taft is gradually but sys-
tematically establishing a censorship
over government information. One de-
partment after another is being muz-
zled. The censorization is being done
as secretly as possible. It has just be-
come known that in an Official order
dated Nov. Is, 1909 and signed by
George Otis Smith, director of the
United States geological survey, the
following was issued as one of the
new rules to be enforced against rep
resentatives of the press:
Rule Q. That no interview shall be
granted without securing from the per-
son soliciting the same a promise that
he will, before submitting the material
to his publication Office, present a copy
of his manuscript to the director for
approval; and, further. that in case any
such promise is violated, the incident
shall be made a matter OF record, and
future interviews shall be denied to
the person guilty of such violation"
So far as is known, nothing so dras-
tic as this in the way Of press censor
ship has eyer been attempted before IN
America.

to take him Systematically he found
that the man and certain of his fol-

RECALLING EARLY DAYS
How Jonathan Evans Met u. S. Grant
in This County Nearly Fifty
Years Ago.

Jonathan Evans, of Platteville, is
writing some very interesting remi
niscences Of the early days in Grant
county, which are being published in
the Platteville Journal. His letter
last week treated of a chance meeting
with the great soldier, at that time
captain, U. S. Grant. and we copy a
portion herewith as of especial in
teIest to Lancaster readers:
IF you ever go to Galena, go down
Main street. then up Bench Street for
short distance There you will find
little story and -a-half brick house
that would perhaps rent in Platteville
for ten dollars a month-that's where
Ulysses lived at that time After the
siege of VicEsburg, the citizens OF
Galena built residence for him, but
he never lived in it.
Captain Grant used to come up
through this region to represent the
firm He rode in a one-horse open
buggy, in which he carried leather
samples. not only seeking trade but
collecting bills In those early days
he was not at all impressive in ap-
pearance, being short man and
rather spare If he had not afterwards
developed into great man he would
have quickly passed from ones
memory.
"The first time ] ever met him 1
didn't see him. 1t was starlit night
in January, 1861. just before the war
Col. John O. Clark and | were county
officers, and were riding to Lancaster,
the county seat, having been at Madi-
son during the senatorial contest be-
tween Randall, Howe and Washburn.
Where Fennimore now STANDS, was
then but a wide expanse of prairie,
with no houses in sight. We there
met team struggling through the
snow drifts, from which two men
hailed us. asking how and when they
could get to Widow Philbrook's.
We replied that they were a mile and
half off the road One of the men
said, CANT you Evans ?" He said
he was Mark Brown. travelling for a
liquor dealer named Lorraine, and
added, II want to introduce Captain
Grant. " That gentleman said,
"You'll have bad news when you get
home, gentlemen. He explained
that Mr.. Hyde landlord of the
Mansion House at Lancaster, had
dropped dead, and everything was in
such confusion that they had decid9 ed
to come up to Philbrook's aud spend
the night there.
Grant was often in PlattevilIe after
the war. remember chatting and
talking with him in 1868, in my store,
and giving him cigar. He took it
and put it in bis mouth-but he didn t
smoke it, only chewed it as Sheridan
also used to do. -

High School Alumni Meeting.

Because of the chilly weather it
was deemed best not to hold tn alumni
picnic Monday afternoon, at Sckreiner
Park Instead refreshments were
served in the main room Of the high
school and an informal sort of a
publication was enjoyed by the 100
guests present.
At about five o'clock the business
meeting was called to order by Pres.
V. L. Showalter and the minutes of
the preceding meeting we're read by
Sec'y Clarence Webb.
Following this came the annual
election of officers which resulted as
follows:
President-Mary Warren 81.
Vice President-Julian Bellows So
Secretary and treasurer-C Clarence
T. Webb 'O7.
following this the different classes
elected the following members to serve
on the executive committees. Some of
the classes we're not represented: 1876

After the business meeting delicious
refreshments were served following
which a very enjoyable program was
given, consisting of vocal solos by
Mrs. Marjorie Taylor, of Salt Lake
City and Clarence Howe. piano solo
by Mrs. l. A. Clarke and story telling
by Clarence Howe. Old school songs
were then sung by those present with
as much fervor as in the days gone
by.
The alumni gathering this year was
more enjoyable to many because OF
it's informal nature than any held
hitherto. The attendance was quite
large but owing to the fact that many
OF the colleges have not yet closed for
the summer vacation, the later classes
were not as fully represented as they
should be. The majority of the class
of 1910 were present as the guests of
honor.

DIED AT BEETOWN.
Man Who Had Leg Broken When Thrown
from Buggy Expired Mon
day Morning.

s. R. Crumbaker, the poultry buyer
who had his leg broken by being
thrown from buggy near Beetown
two weeks ago, and who was thought
to be recovering nicely from his in
juries, was taken Suddenly, worse,
Sunday, and died at about five O clock
Monday morning, The cause Of his
death is given by the physician as
asepticaemia. a sort of blood poison
ing.
Mr.. Crumb bakers home was at
Mendon, Mich, and his remains will
be taken there for burial. His wife
was with him during his last few
days. and helped to make his end a
peaceful one.
1t is understood that the accident
came about something like this: Mr..
Crumbaker and his driver were in
tending to call on Will Winner, who
with his son had been building a
woven wire fence and were driving to
the house for dinner The poultry
men followed his wagon tracks
through the woods until they came to
a point where Winner had found it
necessary to drive across the fence
wire, which was stretched out ready
to nail to the posts, with one end
fastened to a post, where they had
left off work. The boy held the wire
firmly to the ground while his father
drove the team across 1t.
The poultry men did not know
this, and seeing the tracks, tried to
drive across it as it laid. The horses
got frightened by stepping on the wire
and in plunging about overturned the
buggy and Mr.. Crumbaker's leg was
broken above the ankle in his fall.
the bone protruding two or three
inches through the flesh.
1t is a very sad and unfortunate
affair.
