the Oldest English families in the
state, Wednesday shocked Philadel-
phlaS 900 by announcing that in
the historical pageant which is to be
held here next October he proposes
to drive plain, ordinary dump cart
now in vogue for removing garbage
ashes and refuse from the city streets
Mr.. Mifflin declares that the an
cestor who brought the wealth into
the family was nothing more nor less
than a dump cart owner. He has
searched the family records and as
certained that John Mifflin paid a
city tax on forty dump carts and ap-
parently had the contract for remov-
lng the city garbage two centuries
ago.
But said Mr.. Miffln. 'I also find
that he was gentleman, so / pro-
pose to appear driving the dump cart
attired in the clothing Of a gentle
man of early days. 1t may seem a
little incongruous. but if this is to
be historical pageant it should be
true to history"

Another Rock county resident came
to grief Saturday when he was placed
under arrest by Chief Deputy y. S.
Marshal McAssey. He is Prof. Harry
Daverkosen of GAINESVILLE, a clairvOy-
ant, who is charged by Uncle Sam with
having used the mails to defraud.
According to the federal officials,
Daverkosen, who has been resident
of GAINESVILLE for 80 years, has used the
mails for the purpose of committing
fraud by pretending to cure cancer and
other diseases, finding lost people, and
telling his clients how they could make
money. 1t is claimed by the govern
ment that he has made hundreds of
dollars by fraud, many of his clients
paying him in advance.
Marshal McAssey was armed with a
search warrant, and when he entered
the office of Daverkosen, the professor
was in the act of opening mail. The
officer found two sacks of mail which
had been received by the professor, and
he confscated them and took them to
Madison. Daverkosen expressed sur
prise when Mr.. McAssey arrested him.
He accompanied the marshal to the
office of U. S. Court Commissioner
Stanley Tallman, who bound him over
to the federal grand jury which meets
in Madison next month. Daverkosen
was released on furnishing bail of
$1,000.
The arrest was the result of the
clever work of Postofice Inspectors j.
P. Walker and Ralph Bird, who have
been investigating the matter for some
time.

81 years. He was around the house

He had not been in the best Of health
for several months and had suffered
from Bright's disease and heart failure.
The deceased was born in Whitewat-
er, June 5, 1850, but the greater part
of his life was spent in Edgerton. His
first marriage was to a daughter of the
late Thos. Warren of this city. He
had lived in Beloit two and one-half
years and was employed at the Berlin
Machine works.
He is survived by his widow, two
sons, Arthur Of Red Lodge, Mont, and
Walter of Montana, and one stepson,
Dell Crandall of GAINESVILLE. He is also
survived by two sisters, Mrs. Ida AL
vorsen of GAINESVILLE and Mrs. Dorah

Church Social.

A measure social will be held in the
basement of Rev. Krostu's East Kosh-
konong church by the Young Peoples
society, Friday evening, March 9Th.
We invite to our social the great and
the small,
And we do not mind saying we hope
you are tall;
For each foot you measure you bring
us two pence.
If you measure five feet it will cost you
ten cents.
But for every odd inch it will cost one
cent over,
So if you are short you are surely in
clover;
But it's for good cause we issue this
call,
And we hope you'll imagine you're
twenty feet tall.
