gymnasium Friday evening, in
which ripe red apples were the
central attraction. Poems were
composed about the different kinds
of apples. A big pie was given for
the best poem and little pie for
the poorest poem. Apples floating
in tub of water were picked out
by the boys who could set their
teeth in them. A small admission
fee was charged which was put into

Lecture Course
Starts off Well

The first number of this seasons
Peoples Lecture course, the Dun
bar Male Quartette, made an excel
lent impression on large audience
in the M. E. church last Thursday
evening, more than justifying the
Course committee in getting this
attraction for the second time.
The quartette singing was splend-
id and both the gay and serious
songs were rendered in beautiful
harmony and with appropriate grace.
Their handbell ringing numbers
were especially we'll received, and
were without doubt the best that
have ever been here, and the same
may be said of the cello, piano and
flute selections by the Dunbar Trio :.
The readings by Harry Dunbar and
the children songs by Mrs. Ralph
Dunbar were also highly entertain
ing. The solos by Mr.. Filgar
brought hearty applause. MI.
Robinson, the tenor, has an excel
lent voice. He is also a talented
pianist, and his accompaniment
were noteworthy. The Dunbar
company is composed of musicians
of exceptional talent and they pre-
sent a we'll arranged program in
most pleasing American manner.
The next number will be lee
ture, "The Square Deal" by Frank
Dixon, at M. E. church Tuesday
evening, Dec. 6.

Quiet Reigns at Winter

Papa Dietz and mama Dietz and
all the little Dietzes are now living
peaceful lives in the county jail at
HAYWARD and the village of Winter,
which for the past month, has fur
nished scarehead sensational stories
for the metropolitan dailies of Wis
consin and Minnesota, and topics for
heated discussions in every city,
village and crossroads in both
states has again sank into obscur-
ity.
Dietz has surrendered. Refusing
offers of fair treatment, expert le-
gal assistance and generous finan-
cial aid, he risked his own life and
the lives of his wife and three chill
dren in hopeless battle against
sheriff Madden's posse.
After killing deputy Oscar Harp,
whose wife attended Myra Dietz the
night before she was taken to Ash
land, Dietz gave himself up. He
escaped with but a flesh wound in
the hand.
Public sympathy has surged back
and forth in threatening waves ever
since Dietz came into the limelight
as the defender of his rights at
Cameron Dam. All sympathized
with Dietz in his trouble with the
lumber company several years ago.
Sentiment was divided when the
Horel shooting affair of September
6 was announced, and then went
strongly in favor of DietZ when
sheriff Madden's deputies wounded
Myra Dietz the first of this month.
Madden was censured roundly for
this regretable incident. Possibly
he deserved it, but before Judging
too strongly against the man, 1t
must be taken into consideration
that the children" involved were
far from being helpless babes, that
they carried and were experts in
the use of firearms, and had been
taught from early childhood that
officers Of the law were always to be
considered as bitter enemies. AS
for the rough treatment reported to
have been accorded the wounded
girl, it seems that she was given
the best available, which of course,
IN that isolated community, was
rather crude. When Dietz failed to
accept the peace overtures of the
governors secretary and Atty. Gen.
Gilbert, thus exposing hi14self and
family to the attack of the posse, his
action prejudiced many against
him. When the actual scrimmage
occurred those bands of fearless
sharpshooters, who had promised
Dietz their aid in battle, were
among those not present, and
much of the money raised in the
Twin Cities and elsewhere to be
used in Dietz's behalf has. been
transferred to aid those impoverish h
ed by the recent forest fires in
Northern Minnesota.
Sheriff Madden is a hero in Saw
yer county now, and among those
who are in a position to know the
whole story of the affair as it really
happened. Many former Dietz
sympathizers give Madden credit for
doing a disagreeable duty and

to capture Dietz. He has accomp-
lished it, and the only fatality was
from the fugitive's rifle.

PRESIDENT TAFT
AvERTS TARIFF WAR
About To Sign Agreement With
France.
All Differences Settled And France
To Get 20 Per Cent. Reduction OF
Rates Provided For In The Payne
Aldrich Bill--The President To
Take Up Tariff Question With
Canadian Officials.

Rochester. n. Y. Especially .-Presi-
dent Taft announced here that a
complete agreement had been reached
with France on all tariff differences,
and that he would sign a proclama-
tion giving to France the rs per cent
reduction OF rates provided for in
the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law
President Taft received long
cipher dispatch from Secretary Knox
conveying the contents of a cable
gram from France which indicated
that the proposition made by the
United States had been accepted.
France has agreed with the United
States on 96 per cent of imported
articles, and in lieu of an agree
ment on the remaining per cent.
Is willing to grant still further con-
cessions in the list already agreed to.
This is acceptable to the United
States. Because of the high increase
OF duties on champagne 1t had been
predicted that a tariff war with
France was almost certain.
Although the situation seems all
but hopeless. President Taft has not
given up the idea of averting a tariff
war with Canada. He has invited
to meet him in Albany w. S. Field
Ing. the Canadian minister of f.
nance; Henry NJ. Hoyt, counsellor of
the State Department. and Charles NJ.
Pepper, tariff expert of the Depar-
ment of Commerce and Labor, will
come on from Washington to be

President Taft at first invited Sir
Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian pre-
mier, to the conference. but the
latter was unable to come. Thus
far Canada has shown a disposition
to stand pat" and has all but put
an end to any further negotiations
The President is making a last eff
fort, however. to reach an agreement
with the Dominion government.
The dispute with Canada grows
out of the fact that Canada nego-
tiated a treaty with France, whereby
that country was given a reduction
OF from 2 " to 5 per cent. over other
countries. Through Great Britain's
favored nation treaties, however,
this preferential treatment given by
canada to France was automatically
extended to 13 other countries. This
In erect left the United States as
the. principal country affected by the
higher rates.

it was barren of results
