desire to express my deep appreciation
to neighbors, friends and relatives for the

A correspondent of the Standard,
writing from Chattanooga under date
of October 4, says:
"There was fight at Chattanooga
Saturday night at Heffner's hall.
Beer bottles and buckets were used
and in the melee one man was serious
ly hurt. No arrests were made but
the people of Chattanooga are protest
ing against such performances"
We are not informed as to the ex-
tent of this last lawless demonstration,
but certainly the law abiding citizens
of that community should demand and
see that something was done.
A criminal assault upon the three
little children, mere babes; the shoot
ing of small lad, and saloon brawl
every now and then certainly does not
add to the popularity of the commun-
ity or the county.

GETTING
COMMON
Small Lad Frightfully Wounded
by Boys, Who Make Plea
of Accident.
Rough House Started During
Chattanooga Dance, Re
suit of Booze.

Carl, the seven year-old son of
Squire and Mrs. George Leininger, of
Liberty township, was shot through
the left cheek by Andy Fickert, while
in an clubhouse on the school grounds,
mile south Of chattanooga, week
ago yesterday. The shot penetrated
the left cheek passing entirely through
the tleshy part and coming out near
the nose.
The Fickerts live near the school
house, and Andy, together with his
brother Gus, were digging potatoes in
a field adjoining the school ground,
when the shooting occurred. Twice
during the afternoon Teacher John Pi-
fer had ordered them to leave the
school ground when he caught them
pointing a Winchester rifle at the
school children.
The young Leininger lad had been
excused from the school room, and as
entered the out building Andy Fickert
fred two shots, one of them taking
effect as stated. Pupils saw the little
fellow staggering towards the school
house and called the teachers atten-
tion to the matter. He Immediately
went to the assistance of the lad, and
when he found he had been shot he
had him taken home. Mr.. Pifer called
to the Fickert lads, but they ran for
home. They claim the shooting to be
an accident, as they only intended to
scare the boy. Be that as it may, the
shooting is a very serious matter and
not to be condoned. Some strenuous
action is needed where boys engage in
such lawlessness and then use the plea
that 1t was an accident" AS they
been warned to leave the grounds, it
is not hard to understand the kind of
accident it was.
DIR. p. T. Waters was called to rem
der the necessary surgical attention.
The boys condition did not improve
satisfactorily, and last Sunday DR..
Cordier of this city was called in con-
sultation. The physicians feared blood
poison might set in, and acting upon
their suggestion, Mr.. and Mrs. Leinin-
ger took the lad to the Lutheran hos
pital at Ft. Wayne, Ind, last Monday. |

Coalition of Forces of Sons of
Equity and Organized Labor Of
Wisconsin Marks New Era in
Politics of Badger State.

Madison, Wis, Aug 26.-The full
import of an agreement entered into
about three weeks ago. between the
Wisconsin Federation of Labor and
the Wisconsin branch Of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, is just begin
ming to dawn upon those most inter-
ested In the subjects likely to come
before the next legislature for con-
sideration. This agreement virtually
will restrict members of both bodies
to buy from and sell to each other,
and it will precipitate in the next leg
islature memorable fight for the re-
peal of the restraint of trade
feature of the Wisconsin antitrust
law.
The momentous character of this
movement will be more fully realized
when it is known that with $4,000
members of the Equity society and
10000 of the Federation of Labor it's
hackers represent a large percentage
Of the voters among the farmers and
the laboring men. Also it will be re-
membered that in the 1909 legisla-
ture, which still holds office, there
were thirty-six members who could
he depended upon to vote for projects
fathered by the farmers society:
while five socialists swelled the total
representation of the combined or
ganizations to forty-one, to say moth
ing Of a scattering of Legislature
whose constituents are mostly labor
ing men and who also could be de-
pended upon in a great many cases.
Besides, the prediction is freely
made and quite generally believed,
that the next legislature may con-
tain a still larger representation of
this "class,' perhaps enough to swell
the total to sixty-seven,' which is a
majority of the entire legislature.
While the efforts of this combina-
ton will be centered upon securing
the repeal or extensive modification
of the law prohibiting restraint of
trade, in order to enable the two
societies to carry out the cooperative
barter and sale project, the same COM
bined organization just now is carry
ing on an extensive fight against the
nomination at the primaries on Sept.
Of Levi H. Bancroft, speaker of the
assembly, and now a candidate for
the republican nomination for attOr-
ney general. 1t is declared by repre-
sentatiVes of the two societies that
the attorney general, by reason of the
extension of the commission plan of
REGULATING taxes public utilities and
railroads and the civil service, has
become SO powerful that the office
must be filled with even greater cure
than that of governor. Bancroft's op-
position of the binder twine bill ex-
plains the present fight being made
against him.

SPOKANE COOKS ARE
SEEKING 6-DAY WEEK

Spokane, Aug. 26.-"We will not go
back to a seven day week.
This is the slogan by which the AL
lied Culinary Crafts of Spokane in
tend to show the rest of their Ameri-
can brothers that their city shall not
any longer remain the only one Of
consequence in the west that is not
working six-day week.
During the past two years they
have used every known effort to in
augurate the privilege of "one day
off n seven in a peaceful manner.
Arguments have been used, confer
ences held, arbitration requested, but
OF no avail. The same old reply has
been invariably Notwithstanding
doing on the six-day week." The same
sentiment has been shown that the
employing class displays everywhere
In regard to shorter hours and days
cff for the workers. They. would
sooner lose their profits for months
and give in on mostly every other
point. for they know that wages can
easily be reduced, or lowered, but
they also know that once the toilers
taste the freedom of a few hours each
week to use for themselves, for educa-
ton, amusement or otherwise, they
Will fight to the bitter end before
they relinquish the right
The Restaurant Keepers associa-
tion of Spokane, however, have not
been satisfied with denying the day
off every week, but have heaped upon
the workers other abuses; house rules
regarding eating, fines for petty Of
1enses' eac., enough to disgust any
person With any spirit at all, were
imposed until patience ceased to be g.
virtue. y. ,
The result was that at joint meet
ing of all locals of the culinary work.
ers on May 10, it was decided to call
a general strike; if the demands Of
one day off in seven was not recog-
nized. This demand was accordingly
made and the crews were called out
in all places refusing the same. -

TELEGRAPHERS WIN
FIGHT AGAINST THE
SOUTHERN RAILROAD

Washington. D. c., Aug. 26.-The
Order of Railway Telegraphers on
the Southern Railway, win these five
points, according to the final award
of the arbitration board just filed in
the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia:
Increase in wages amounting to 8
per cent.
Fifteen-day vacation each year
with pay for employees in service over
two years
A working day of ten hours where
two telegraphers are employed
"A working day of nine hours where
three or more telegraphers are em-
ployed.
On Sunday and legal holidays tele-
graphers shall be excused from
work when practical"
Only one objection to the award ,z
being expressed py the operators and
that IS in relation to the failure to
recognize station agents as "tele-
graphers" who are thereby not en-
titled to be heard in disputed ques-
tons with the company.
The life of the average station
agent is round of mixed duties that
lays him particularly open to i'm
position by the company and that
the commission failed to give him
the benefit Of any relief in the award
Is pointed out by railroad men as a
certain source of future strife.
Since last March the Order of
Railway Telegraphers has demanded
of the Southern Railway an increase
of 25 per cent in wages. Facing a
strike the company finally agreed to
arbitration, naming J. s. B. Thomp-
son as their representative on a
board Of three commissioners, John
D. Dermode being chosen by the tele-
graphers and w. r. Vance appear
ing for the interstate commerce COM
mission,
