BIG SUCCESS.

The entertainment for the benefit of
the Algiers strikers, which took place
at the Alcazar Airdome, proved to be
great success, especially the drama
Jim Ford, or The New Sheriff." a
play which was produced under the
auspices of Miss Frances Statzkowski
and Henry Boudro Company. Miss
Statzkowski has appeared on almost
all of our local stages and is looked
upon as one of our leading amateurs.
John Clement, who rendered some
songs, was also greatly applauded.

Editor The Herald.
Dear Sir-As there seems to be a
misrepresentation in some quarters as
to what l said on the subject of the
proposed sale of a new franchise for
the Third District Ferry, at the last
meeting of the Algiers Improvement
Association, would like to re-state
what l did say and what | believe is
necessary to have embodied in the pro-
posed specifications, if a really good
ferry service is to be secured at that
point.
In the first place, it is absolutely
necessary that the boat to be used will
land bow up stream" on both sides

The End of the Greatest
Bear Hunt Fairfield
Ever Had.
THE TWENTY-FoURTH STORY.

THE TWENTY FOURTH STORY
During the same day that Knelly
encountered the bear just east of the
Wordleman place, the others in the
bear hunting band were busy, two
other bears were killed and one of
them in rather an unusual way.
Joseph GiIlem stood by cow-path in
the woods, heard dog barking and
from the sound knew that he was ap-
preaching. Just about the time Gillem
stepped to one side of the cow-path, a
bear came rushing along to escape the
dog. The hunter did not realize that
game was so near but was quick
enough to fire and with one fierce
growl the black object rolled over dead.
George B. McGilvra says there had
been forest fires north of Kilbourn
which had destroyed the food OF the
bears and they had come into Sank
county for something to eat. Three
bears were killed on the same day and
Mr.. McGilvra says his father came to
the house and told the family about
the hunt. The son was permitted to
60 back with his father and saw a
bear hanging to the limb of large,
oak tree.
After the three bears had been
killed all the hunters proceeded down
the road to the Risley place where the
bears parted with theirlpelts and where
the meat was .ldividedI between those
in the venturesome company. 1t was
an unusual procession which went
down the highway that afternoon.
Each bear was accompanied by little
band of bloodstained, tired but de-
lighted hunters and as they carved the
carcasses they created a record which
has had no equal in the annals OF
Fairfield and which has come down
as the greatest bear hunt in all the
country roundabout.

THE BEAUTIFUL GRASS.

At this season of the year when the
Wisconsin grasses are so abundant and
beautiful, the tribute of John j. In
CALLS tribute to grass seems approprl-
ate:
"Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and the dandeiions of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
the minute tenants of that mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollections
are of grass; and when the fitful fever
is ended and the foolish wrangle of the
market and forum is closed, grass
heals over the scar which our decent
into the bosom of the earth has made,
and the carpet of the infant becomes
the blanket of the dead. Grass is the
forgiveness of nature-her constant
benediction. Fields trampled with
battle, saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass grown like rural lanes and are
obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
parish, flowers vanish, but grass is
immortal. Beleagured by. the rsullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of it's sub.
terranean vitality and emerges upon
the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering birds,
propagated by the subtle agriculture
of the elements which are it's ministers
and servants, it softens the outline of
the world. 1t bears no blazonry of
bloom to charm the senses with frag-
rance of splendor, but lbs homely hue
is more Enchanting than the lily or the
rose. It yields no fruit in earth Or air,
and yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world"

SECRECY THE NEW SIN IN BUSI-

There is in the practice of "big bust
ness" today new sin which is fun
damental. True, it is not yet recog-
nized as sin, but it should be and
must be declared crime. The sin is
not an inheritance from:the monopoiies
of a remote past, but has grown out of
that fierce individuelism SO charac-
teristic of American life. 1t has been
fostered and developed by that I'M
restricted, savagely competitive strug-
gle for supremacy which has been such
striking feature of our industrial his
tory.
This practice, which seemed natural
and logical ia simpler social and
industrial organization of society, has
been permitted to continue, though its
effects today are wholly bad when
viewed in the large. What, then, is
this policy which has become inn
proper and even wicked with the in
dustrial development of the United
States?
Our country and our times are not
those of our ancestors, and changed
conditions have brought different
standards in their train. Today many
acts, once grave crimes, are considered
harmless or even praiseworthy. On
the other hand, law and public opin-
ion now condemn many practices
formerly ignored. Secrecy, not so
long ago, an inalienable right, has be-
come the new sin in busine ss.-From
"Big Business and the Citizen,-I.

lean Review of Reviews for June.

Like Blast of Dynamite.

One of the men who was standing
at the bottom of the shaft says he was
talking to the two men killed when
suddenly there was sound like the
explosion of blast of dynamite. He
looked and the men were gone.
Accidents of this kind frequently
happen in mining. A resident who
worked for mining companies in the
west for many years says that cages
containing six or more men will some
times fall thousand feet or more. AT
other times great masses of ore 60

vent the loss of life in undertakings

Sank County Bear Stories

re gaining his feet, he started toward
Leech lake. AS it was Towards task
to keep the bear from going south he
tried to head him off, but his horse
was of different mind, being much
afraid of the bear. AS the horse was q
spirited one and not Saddled and
bridled, he was unmanageable. AL
though he jumped the fence alright,
he persisted in going sidewise. The
bear, seeing that there was nothing TO
fear from the horse, kept his course
entering the woods where Putkamer's
farm is now located. There was a
dense growth of upderbrush of which
the bear took advantage and was soon
lost to sight. AS the horse made more
noise than the bear, plunging about in
the brush, he was lost to hearing, as
we'll. After searching in vain for some
time, Howard decided that the horse
would not let him get near the bear in
with corn-cutter, he concluded it the
better part of valor not to continue the
search on foot; so turned his horse
homeward. These are the facts.
Now, naturally, the Newell boys
wished to know the fate of that badly
wounded bear. Upon making inquiries,
they learned that the bear emerged
from the woods on the north side
of Leech lake, headed for the water.
He was probably feeling far from we'll
by this time, and believing in cold
water cure, proposed to take plunge.
Just then he saw Mr.. Risley who was
standing on the south side of the lake,
and turning; re-entered the woods.
He was next seen in the corn-field on
the place which now belongs to Fred
Getchell. The bear with his tongue
protruding from his mouth, was near
ly exhausted. Sewall Getchell, who
was cutting corn in the field saw the
condition of the animal that was past
noticing friend or foe, and ran after
him. Soon overtaking him, he cut
his head open from the rear with the
corn-cutter. The boys never heard of
the tragic battle described. 1t would
appear that if the bear were in nor
NAL condition, it would have taken
some part in the affair himself, and
not have stood calml with his paw
held out like a tramp waiting for
hand-out. Neither did the boys hear
that Mr.. Risley had part in the kill
ing, other than frightening the bear
from his bath.
Tt has been long time since this
happened and story told by neighbor
to neighbor may present different
views to each. It would be strange if
all could tell it alike now. People
knowing the Newell boys could tell
you that they were not boys to go
quietly home and leave bear sitting
in tree in their field, especially when
they had a good gun, well loaded7
When the bear was dressed,
twenty buck-shot from Leroy Newell's
gun were found in the body. The
bear would probably have died with
n an hour without the aid of the

Long One in Dallas.

We went from Waco TO Dallas, where
we spent several days with our cousins.
The first thing we saw, on entering
the city, was the new coacrete yiaduct.
the longest of its kind in the world. I
was surprised to see how much taller
and wider and denser the city had be-
come in the last six years. There are
a number of beautiful new sky-scrapers
going up. Among them, the Adolphus
hotel and the Praetorian building.
The streets are full of the hustle and
hustle of traffic, and the general at
mosphere of the city, shows that it
bids fair to become the "Chicago of
the South. One of the beautiful resi-
dence sections is Highland park.
Here, on the banks of the Trinity
river, is an exact imitation of Mount
Vernon. The well-kept lawn slopes
down from the old colonial house to
the rivers edge and one might easily
imagine that he was driving by the
peaceful Potomac. Dallas is so large
and has SO many places of interest. thst
1t is impossible to do it justice in This

other scenes. In these glimpses If

Another Version of a Fairfield Bear
Story.

If our forebearers can bear to be
bearers of bare bear story, let us bear
and forbear with their bare bear story.
To the twenty-second bear story
there is added, "Perhaps some reader
can give more light on the subject" /
can give the facts as l have known
them for forty-four years.
In the fall of 1859, three brothers,
Leroy, Frank and Howard Newell,
were at work with two teams in field
on their fathers farm. They saw a
bear gathering acorns in an oak tree
which stood in the field at spot which
is now in the road near the house of
Grin Getchell. Leroy went to the
house for the double-barIeled shotgun
and loaded it for bear. Frank and
Howard each took a horse from his
team and mounted it with the inteu-
ton of heading the bear off should he
run beyond the range of the gun. The
bear. observing his prospective callers
and not being prepared for so many,
decided to go away and come another
dav. He came down the tree and
started off at his best pace. At this
moment Leroy shot two loads OF buck
shot into the bears side. Bruin fell
and rolled over five or six times. On
