Herman Hirschfeld, of Bay City,
Michigan. who is being held here as
leper suspect. Hirschfield has re-
fused to go home. and the authorities
IN the two states mentioned are trying
70 devise some means to get MIN to
return to his native state, where 1t
is thought the medical authorities can
find some method to deal with him.
Several days ago, Hirschfield agreed
to provide special car in which to
make the trip and preparations were
being made to start the trip. Permis-
sion had been received for the suspect
to pass through Illinois and Indiana,
and everything was practically in
readiness when Hirschfield jumped
over the traces and refused to leave
Centerville, or, rather, refused to pay
the expenses of the trip.
Since Hirschfield refused to make
the trip to his native state, other
complications have arisen, which, in
q way, favor the suspect. One of the
railroads has refused to permit his
car to be attached to any of its trains,
and further, the health authorities in
Bay City, from which city the man
came. say they do not want the man
there.
Hirschfeld is quarantined at the
residence of his brother-in-law. and
denies that he has the leprosy. He
has a genuine fear, however, that the
medical authorities are seeking to
send him to some leper colony and for
this reason says he will fight the con-
tention of the authorities as long as
his fortune lasts. He says he is suf-
fering with some form of skin disease,
but medical men who have examined
him, state they are convinced he is a
victim of the scourge known as
leprosy.

Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much

This Afternoons Concert,

This afternoon promptly at three
O'Clock will be presented the second
and last concert of the May music
festival. This is the first time such
an ambitious effort has been made in
this city and now we can justly take
our place as one of the musical cen
tiers. 1t is a fitting end of. an unpre-
'cedented musical season
Probably no form of music appeals
to SO many people as that furnished
by large orchestra and when that
orchestra is the New York Symptom,
with Walter Damrosch conducting, it
means that the entertainment cannot
be surpassed for no orchestra and no
conductor stands higher in the music
al world During the program FOR this
afternoon will appear Mrs. Wilma
Hultgren-H illberg, Keokuk's talented
pianiste, in a Tschaikowski concerto
with full orchestra accompaniment
In making out the program 1t has
been the aim to furnish something to
please everyone. A music festival
should reach everyone and not be for
only the few who are musicians them
selves. Probably the most satisfying
number on the program for today is
Wagner's overture from Tannhauser

preciate and understand this wonder

LACKAWANA CLUB.
Union City Organization Leading
Citizens Interested.

There is being organized in Union
City an extensive hunting and fishing
club.
Plans have been made for the bes'
modern club houses and they will be
located on Reelfoot Lake. They were
drawn by j. ]. Jones, architect of this
place, comprising eight rooms, hall,
gallery and everything up-to-date and
complete, fronting on the lake.
]. G. Reynolds, proprietor of the
Palace Hotel, is president, known for
his congeniality and hospitality, whose
connection with the club is an assur-
ance of the success of the enterprise.
A more affable and courteous secretary
than ]. w. Burney could not have
been secured.
The club houses are well situated,
being located near Walnut Log with a
long frontage on the lake, and the club
grounds contain some ten acres OF land.
J. G. Burdick, the famous fish dealer
of this place, lived there twelve years
before moving to Union City, and he
says this is the best place on the lake
for club quarters.
A number of Union City parties have
already taken membership, and others
still can have the privilege of doing so
if application is made at an early date.
A number of hunters and fishermen
from other localities have been making
inquiry into the matter, and we are
not surprised, because grounds for club
houses on the lake are hard to get; in
fact the Lackawana Club is fortunate
in the selection of its location. The
quarters will be accessible all the year.
We congratulate the club in secur-
ing this plat of land, one of the most
desirable on the lake, and trust that it
may be the scene of many happy out
ings.

DEAR SIR: AS Chairman of the Dem

you this personal letter to request YOU
best efforts to get out all the Democratic
voters in your district on election day
Insist on every Democrat voting the
Democratic ticket from President down
to Representative. We are admonished

loss of one vote might defeat the cleo

cratic vote upon the grounds of repre-
sentation in State Conventions for the
next four years. We take the liberty
to further remind you that your per-
sonal influence weighs and counts for a
great deal in an election, and we ear
nestly urge you to bring that influence
to bear in this election in order that the
principles we love and advocate and be-
lieye essential for the salvation of our
country may triumph.
