SCHAFER GIRLS SENT TO
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Are to Remain There Until
FL Years of Age.
Satisfactory Solution of Bad Situation
Was Thus Arrived at by the
Circuit and County Courts.

The matter of disposition of the
case of Regina Schafer and Laura
Schafer, who in connection with the
charge against W. j. Duncan have
been confined in the county Jail for
some months. was before the circuit
and county courts last Saturday, with
result that Laura Schafer was sent to
to the Wisconsin Industrial School
for girls, at Milwaukee, until she
shall become twenty enc years of
age. This proceeding was in the
circuit court. The district attorney
has been anxious to have Anna
Schafer, the youngest child, against
whom there has been no charge
presented, properly cared for, and
thus leave no one at the Schafer
place. to be preyed upon by men of
Duncan s stamp. He finally persuaded
one of the girls brothers to make ap-
plication to the county court to have
Anna also sent to the school for girls,
and on the 28th, on proof that her
moral wefare required it, the county
judge committed Ter to the institu-
ton The children being thus provid-
ed for. Regina Schaffer's case was
continued to the February term Of
court, and she was permit ted by order
of the court to go to keep house for
the sons Nick and Albert. We are
informed by the district attorney that
the proofs at his command are in
sufficient to convict Rigna Schaffer
Of anything more than concealing the
fact of the child's birth and death.

TIE BIRTHPLACE or JOHNSON

Raleigh, N C.-This old and simple
building, erected sometime during the
latter part of the eighteenth century,
still stands in Raleigh, historic
building, attracting the interest OF
strangers, and held sacred In the
hearts of Americans. Within it's rough
and crude walls, in 1903, the eyes OF
Andrew Johnson first saw the light OF
day.
Looking today upon the simplicity
of this structure, we are reminded OF
him whom it once sheltered. Plain,
even homely, yet SO staunch as to
withstand the shocks of storm in sum-
ner and winter through all these
years, even as he withstood the jfbes
and sneers of his enemies during the
strenuous period II which he held the
helm of the ship of state.
Hampered with the illiteracy, COM
mon with those of humber origin at
that time, even unable to sign his
name until after ripe manhood; yet,

STATE HAS DECIDED
TO BUY GLENN PARK
Situated in Northwestern Corner
of This County.
Tract Comprises About 200 Acres and
The Price Will be Around
$4,000.

In an article published in The Her
aid last week, descriptive of the land
the farm of exSheriff
Robert u lem and three or four
smaller contiguous farms in Wyalus-
ing township, in the northern portion
of this county, it was stated that the
purchase of this tract by the state of
Wisconsin to be preserved as state
park, which has long been under con-
temptation, had not yet actually
taken place but was likely to occur
soon, as the options held by the state
would soon expire.
The Herald was informed Monday
that a letter had been received by Mr..
Glenn from the State Park Board, an
nouncing that they had decided to ac-
cept the options and representatives of
the board would be down from Madi-
son within a few days to execute tbs
necessary papers for the transfer of
title in the property.
There are about 2700 acres in the
entire tract to be purchased and the
price is to range from $50 per acre
for the bottom lands to $25 for the
uplands.
There are portions of the improved
uplands, however, that will range
higher than this. perhaps $50 per
acre. The entire tract will cost the
state approximately $43, 900 which
seems a very reasonable price. 1t
will make a magnificent park.

WENT 70 CIRCUS, DISAPPEARS.
West Liberty Man Goes TO Davenport
and Gets Lost.

Davenport. Aug. A weeks contin-
ued search has failed to result in the
location Of John Wesson. of West LIB
erty, who came to Davenport July q
to see the circus.
The police were notified yesterday OF
the search which started at West Lib
erty and which has now been extended
all over the state. The mans mother.
Mrs. Ida Wesson, widow, searched
for her son for four days and then
asked outside aid. The man expected
to return from the circus on the follow
ing day and until Saturday no anxiety
had been felt for his absence
Wesson has never evinced rowing
nature and 1t is not believed by his
mother or friends that he voluntarily
has prolonged his absence, but rather
it is thought that accident has befallen
him or he was assaulted for robbery
while roaming about the circus grounds
and since has been unable to commune
cate with his relatives.
