SKUNK KILLING
4 PROFITABLE
BUSINESS

Lee Dumas and Mike Schmidt are
the champion skunk killers in this
section and will likely be allowed
to remain in the peaceful possession
of the honors as long as skunks are
so handy in their way of self pro
lection. Last Sunday Lee and Mike
went into the Yellow river country
and returned in the evening with an
even dozen and some stink. Lee
owns a dog that makes a speciality of
finding these animals and if there
is one anywhere in this or adjoin-
ing counties he locates his wherea-
bouts. Sunday the dog was success
full in locating two dens, the first
yielding up seven and the other five.
Hunting skunks is foreign to all 9TH
er animal hunting. They live in
families and are as harmless as
kitten until they are called upon to
defend themselves and then they do
not hesitate to resort to tactics of
the most unbecoming nature. Mr.
Dumas is an experienced skunk hun
ter and every fall with his faithful
dog kills many Of them. When a den
is found he uses the greatest pre-
caution and seldom ever gets more
than the hide and tallow, both of
which find a ready market, the hides
selling at from 75c to $500 and the
oil at s1.O0 a quart He has prom
sed to take a Herald reporter a.
ong on the next hunt and if we don't
get "skunked'' we hope to bring back
1 trophy. -Marshfield Herald.

WISCONSIN
COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT

The Des Moines PIan-in Des
Mofnes and elseWhere,-seems to
show a vast superiority over the old
style American city charter. Let us
now direct attention to the Wiscon-
sin Plan. AS originally enacted, we
thought the Wisconsin law a bad one
and said so. AS amended, We recon-
mend it to the cities of the state as
vastly better than the old plan, and
we ask the rest of the world to con-
slider it.
The Wisconsin plan is perfection
from the short ballot viewpoint. AT
ter the first election the law contem-
plates the choice of only one COM
missioner every two years. The new
ly-elected member takes his seat with
two old commissioners, one of whom
has two years to serve, and one four
the new man being secure in his
place for six years-unless!
The 'unless" was put in last win
ter by amendment, and is the Recall.
The Initiative and Referendum went
in with the Recall.-The La Toilette.

COMMISSION
FORM A SAVING

The following clipped from the Ap-
pleton Post of recent date shows how
the commission form of government
saved $1,746.98 in the construction
of a sewer in Appleton:
By rejecting all bids and deciding
to have the work done by the day
under the supervision of a city in
spector and the city engineers depart
ment Appleton saved $1,746.9S in the
construction of the big sewer in the
ravine extending from Packard street
northeast 1t will be remembered
that some months ago the council
advertised for bids on this work, the
lowest figure submitted being $4,005-
20. That would have meant that the
whole job completed would have cost
the city $4,289 20. All bids were
considered high, however, and were
rejected by the council. After some
the council decided to
build the sewer by the day

THURSDAY, NOV. is, 1911.

The Johnson & Hill Co., have one
of the finest department store build
ings in Wisconsin outside of Mil
waukee, 1t is a great credit to
their business enterprise and conf
dence in the future growth and de
yelopment of Grand Rapids and Wood
county. 1t represents a great deal
of money, labor, and devotion in its
construction and erection. Every CT
tizen ii Grand Rapids should be
proud of such an institution placed
in their midst We are, and we are
very sorry to be obliged to refer to
the fact that some malicious inclin-
ed person persists in circulating the
derogatory reports of its mechanical
construction. The building is ap-
preaching completion, in fact some of
the departments are already being
filled up with stock and merchandise
and the new store when occupied and
arranged for the general transaction
of business viii be one of the best.
If there is any defects or weakness
in its construction we would all be
very sorry to learn it, but this rumor
is circulated by somebody without
foundation and they ought to be a
shamed of themselves for so doing.
The Johnson & Hill Co. are having
some delays in getting the finishing
work all done as they expected but
it won't be long now before we will
all be privileged to visit this CONNER
cial center and inspect its beauty
and perfection in arrangement in e
very detail. We hope the Company
will receive liberal patronage in the
future as they have in the past, so
they will be recompensed for build
ing so magnificent structure,

miles from the village of Birnam-

The Brothers. Story.

Halmut, brother of the de-
ceased, aged about seventeen years,
gave what purported TO be a true
account Of the accident so far as
he was implicated. He claimed
that he and the dead boz had been
playing near the barn mat FreI
took the rifle, al o't fashioned
arm, and started away on mis- hi.
cycle. Halmut claimed that he
went into the barn and later heard
shot; that he went to the front
yard and found his brother lying
dead; that he picked up the rife
and put it in the wood house and
took the bicycle to the barn, after
which he went to the house and
Informed his mother that Fred was
dead. Mrs Kosbab testified that
She at once said, then you have
killed him. but claimed that she
did not know why she made the
remark, stating that the two boys
had never quarreled. She testified
to having heard the shot; to having
paid no attention to it, and said
that it was not more than two
minutes after the report before
Halmut rushed into the house with
the news of the occurrence, In that
short space of time it is claimed it
would not have been possible for
Halmut to put away the gun and
bicycle and return to the house.
Willie, younger brother aged
ten, stated that at the time the
gun was fired he was in the barn
and that Halmut was outside the
! door.
There are several puzzling fea-
lures about the case and about all
the officers are certain of is that
the boy is dead from a gunshot
wound which it would have been
impossible for him to have inflicted
himself Whether or not there
will be a further examination into
the case has not been announced
