NO CALL FOR GARDEN GINSENG

Wittenbsrg Enterprise: Oppenhei-
mer, the we'll known ginseng buyer,
was in the village Friday picking up
what he could of this root. He was
seeking only the wild root, there being
no present demand for the garden
grown roots. Two things appear to
have conspired to knock the bottom out
of the market for cultivated ginseng.
In the first place, too many have en-
barked in the business and nearly every
state in the union now has extensive
acreage, producing a supply which is
largely in excess of the demand. In
the second place, the Chinese (who are
practically the exclusive users of this
root) think that the cultivated root
possesses but little of the efficacy of
the wild root, while most people cannot
detect difference in the appearances of
one from the other. Mr.. Oppenhsimer
says that the Chinese can see that
difference at glance. Just at present
they will not touch the cultivated root
at any price.

BEATING

Walter Sandosky of Chicago was
brought here Wednesday night by
Sheriff Anderson of Shawano and Dep
uty Sheriff Willoquet of Gillett and
turned over to Sheriff Burns.
1T seems that Sandosky was riding
on the Laona train last Tuesday after
noon. He had been imbibing little
too freely of liquor and became noisy,
using profane language. The train
men attempted to quiet him, but he
paid no attention to them, and Sheriff
Anderson, who was on the trim placed
him under arrest. The sheriff put
hundcuffs on him. but Sandosky man.
aged to kick the sheriff in the mouth,
cutting his lips and knocking several
teeth loose.
When the train arrived at Gillett the
prisoner was turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Willoquet, who enlisted the aid
of a by stander, but the handcuffed
man struck at the deputy with both
fists and the irons, when the officer
and his assistant gave him sound
beating. Later the man made his es-
cape from them, but he was located
Wednesday at Pulaski, having broken
off the handouts on the railroad track,
and Sheriff Anderson went down with
Deputy Willoquet and brought him
here When he arrived in Oconto he
was handcuffed and shackled. He was
taken before Justice Donlevy Thursday
morning and given ten days in which to
sober up and recover from the sore
head which he received at the hands of
the Gilltte officers.-Oconto Enterprise.
