Year in and year out Democratic

the newest ideas and have not hest

occasion required"
Judge Wade halls from a State which
has not chosen a Democratic governor
since 1894. and he is we'll qualified to
talk on the lean years" which visit
every political party.

Theodore A. Bell. the man with the

read the effort to Bryan.

flood such as Nebraska had never
known before descended. The torrential
| rushes of water washed out all the
railroad tracks within several miles of
Lincoln. Bryan and the Key Noter'
were waterbound on Fugitive Hill, the

Through the efforts of local railroad
men Bell finally was rescued from Fair

just in the nick of time to deliver the

Johnny Tillman of Minneapolis

Tillman having beaten such not

whom he won a decision from in
a fifteen round bout in New.
Orleans last March, and before
the same club in the. following
month he stopped Harry Forbs
in eight rounds. Forbs

of the fans as real contender
for the championship until

Game is Said to be Plentiful |
and the Slaughter of
Deer Will be Heavy

The deer season. in the state of
Wisconsin opens next Monday morn
ing and already large numbers of
hunters are going to the woods to get
their camps in shape for the opening
of the season. Dnring the next
twenty days hundreds of hunters will
swarm the woods of northern Wis
consin in pursuit of the fleet-footed
deer and Bayfield, county, the ideal
hunting grounds, will receive its quo
to of sportsmen. The number of
hunting licenses already issued in this
county runs close to the 5000 mark
and during the next three or four
days there will be big rush for
them and it begins to look as if it
would be a record breaking year.
Hunters going into the woods
should be particularly careful in order
to avoid accidents. Coats and gar
ments should be covered with red
or some other color that will not in
any way resemble deer and the ut
most care should be taken around
hunting camps. During every fall
there is large number of accidents
due to carelessness with firearms and
hunters should try to stop 1.-THE annu-
al slaughter of men. The thing is to
careful, wear plenty of colored cloth
ing, and don't shoot at every moving
object in the woods.

with the fact that this is, apparently,
not a money-making scheme, would
seem to make favorable proposition
