In the passing away of NJ. J. Fisher,
Evansville loses one of it's leading citi-
zens and best business men. For a
number Of years he has built his life
He has been the friend of the unfor-
tunate and the discouraged, many Of
whom he has assisted to get a new
start towards success. All of these
mourn the loss of good friend. For
a number of months Mr.. Fisher has
been growing weaker. Last election
day he was confined to the home and
has not been able to be out since that
time. The end of all earthly suffering
came Monday night at 10 o'clock. Mar
shall James Fisher was born October l,
1849, at Cooksville, and was one Of a
family of two girls and four boys. His
parents came from New York state
and were among the early pioneers of
this part of Wisconsin. Mr.. Fisher
was alderman for several terms and a
member of the school board for ten or
twelve years. He was very public
spirited citizen and an excellent bust
ness man, and is considered the best
promoter that Evansville has ever
claimed as citizen. He will be great
ly missed in business circles.

Automobiles tell us that a chicken
is the most difficult to pass safely of
any animal they meet in the road. A
few miles from here last Monday morn
ing biddy committed suicide by flying
in front of car belonging to motor
list. Driving up to the house he asked
the farmer what the damage would be,
and was told that he might settle on
his return trip. A half hour later when
he pulled up, the owner of the unfor-
tunate chicken informed him that it
was worth 75c. Our friend suggested
as he paid the price that chicken meat
was rather high and he guessed he
would take it along. It was the farm
er's tnrn to be surprised, but after
some parleying the chicken was brought
out ali picked and ready for the kettle
That's the story, whom was the joke

the long desired open way to India.
Germany in its ceaseless search for
colonies has found and populated pros
porous sites in Asia Minor, and will
resist sending the warlike Turk back
across the Bosporus to interfere with
those new possessions.
Russia, which probably financed
Servia's war, has her own wide eye
on Adriatic and Aegean ports and her
vast ambitions in the further south.
France may be relied on always to
be opposed to Germany, and is likely
to side with her ally, Russia.
Austria and Italy, jealous Of the
Balkan outlet on the Adriatic and of
the revenues received from Servian
and Albanian dependents, must satisfy
their selfish interests before they can
even look at immunity's claims
It is the same old story. Twenty
years ago the Marquis of Salisbury,
Premier of England, and speaking in
London for the powers in concert, sent
back the mercenary cry of markets
as Europe's answer to the ruthless
murders Of zeitoun. Asquith's recent
declaration for the right Of the allies
to settle their own great war in their
own way sounded clear. but has al
ready faded to an echo.
Still. it is to be hoped that great
nations like those Of Europe-England.
Germany, France and Italy-leaders
in the worlds progress and thought
will not forget all the claims of hu-
manity and civilization in the cold and
remorseless materialism that seems to
rule in this vital and epochal event
1t has been for weeks the dream
and the desire of Christendom to see
the Bulgarian heroes rebuild the cross
above the crescent On the dome of st
Sophia and dictate a Christian peace
around the cruel and crimson mosques
of conquered Constantinople
If the remorseless greed of nations
prescribes that this shall not be so
then in the name of all justice and of
all civilization, let the powers in alb
sorbing usufruct Of a magnificent vic
tory which others have won, see to it
that the bloody Butcher of European
history shall be cabined, cribbed and
confined within such territorial limits
and within such international rules
that his lawless lusts shall be curbed
and his ruthless murders be restrained
for the rest of time.
