DOG CATCHER "FIRED"
Thomas Turns in Keys WIthout
Objection.

With apparently little opposition. e. Il.
Stotts, city commissioner officially
fired" the city dog catcher Theodore
Thomas. this morning. Unless Thomas
files a complaint before the civil service
commissioners, and the charges are
brought against him by Commissioner
Stotts, he will be dropped from the city
pay roll permanently.
1t has been rumored around the city
hall that Commissioner Etotts would have
a difficult task in disposing of his canine
killer. Thomas was given a suggestion
to retire some time ago but he paid no at
tention. Not until Stotts was able to
back UP his action with charges against
the dog catcher was it legal to fire" him
under the civil service rules.
Thomas turned over his keys today

At the business college Wilson pre-
scented the check for payment, but did
not receive the face value of the pa

the college for $23.35 and endorsed
the Horton check to the college.
When this check reached the Horton

Marketing Peanuts
 "On HOOf" Profitable

H. B. Lathrop a progressive and prosperous farmer of Miller. county is another who has found that there is profit in marketing peanuts "on the hoof." Mir. Lathrop recently purchased eighteen pigs, paying four dol lars each for the "porkers." He turned them into a small field of peanuts and finished them off by giving them the run of a potato field from which the tubers had been gathered. At the end of the month he sold the eighteen hogs for S152.10, the returns netting him a profit of $50. 10, which is the amount derived for the peanuts marketed in this fashion.

BEEF HAPPENED ON
 SWEET POTATOES

The Agents Bulletin, a mon thly journal issued by the Miss ouri Pacific Iron Mountain Rail way Company has in this issue a picture of two cuts of meat pho- tographed at the shop of Ed F. Gee & Son in this city and makes the following comments:
 The animal was feed one half bushel per day for 50 days with pea vine hay for roughage. The potatoes were grown from a tract yielding 416 bushels per acre, near Prescott, Arkansas by w. w. Trimmer. This ap- pears to be new method of fat tening cattle. and certainly less expensive than the old way.
 If, as seems practical, MT. Trimmer has found food con- bination that produces better meat, and more tender, at a de- creased expense, he takes his place as an effective worker in reducing the cost of living. This combination has been used in fattening hogs, but this is the first instance, so far, as known, that it has been applied to cattle.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION
What a Governor Said

For three years I have sat in in my office, while a ceaseless procession of broken hearted women were passing my desk. They were mothers, wives, sis ters and daughters. They were begging for executive clemency for husbands, fathers, sons and brothers, and by actual count eighty five percent Of the y.ung men who had committed crimes which had sent to prison or to prospective death and winch sent these tear stained, broken hearted women to my office, had done so under the influence of strong drink"
 And yet the UAited States Su> prcme Court will so far override the will of a great people who have forbidden the sale of it in their respective states, as to de clare it lawful to ship it into these states. What, travesty on justice No wonder we cry in our agony, How long, oh, Lord, how long, "
 We fully belive the statement that is so often made, that No man can be engaged in the sale of liquor and be honest. He will take the last dollar of drunken man and then kick him out. They study dishonesty and come into court and periure themelves to avoid punishment" :"
 It has been done right here.
 Were it not for the drink there would be little crime in this 
 country.
 Were it not for the saloon and its satanic annex that harbors young girls and brings them in to the association of brutes in human form, few daughters would go astray.
 The drink quenches the noble manhood with it's slavery and burns out the true womanhood it's victims. Many a bright in> tellect has been scared by it's whitening touch; many a suicide grave it has helped to fill.

 She was kind and affection ate wife and devoted mother. The husband feels his loss \keen- ly and refuses to be comforted. Look up dear one to Him that doeth all things vel, and when the 5olemn summons comes you can say, as did Rosa, I'm going home"

MUCH PLEASURE
AT STATE PARK
Guests are Entertained
With Minstrel Show
at Kirkland.
DANCING IN PAVILION
William Cortis of Chicago
is Chief Merrymaker
For Guests.
DANCING IN PAVILION

The guests at the kirkland pavilion
at the Devils lake state park have
been enjoying an unusual good time
this summer. At least two or three
times each week entertainments and
dances are held which are often en-
joyed by visitors going from this
city. i.
One of the most complete and sue
cessful events of the season was given
in the pavilion Friday evening. The
entert ainment was in the shape of a
minstrel show and was given before
an audience of over one hundred and
fifty people. The Leading part was
taken by William r. Cortis of, Chica-
go who did full justice to it.. Solos
were rendered by Miss Bertha Guth-
man and Miss Mabel Jones, members
of the Apollo musical organization
of Chicago, which were very pleasing.
A reading by Miss Evans of Madi-
son was much enjoyed and there was
much applause when Miss Neva
Lange of Davenport, Mrs. GIueck of
Milwaukee and Miss Mona Mathews
of Dubuque gave Pickannany song.
A trio by Ralph Barlicete OF Lodi,
Bert Terwiliger of Devils Lake and
Lawrence Newell of dinsdaIe, was as
highly pleasing.
One of the prominent haractefs of
the evening OF minstreI entertain nent
was Mrs. Glueck of Milwaukee. g. l..
Miller of Clinton, Iowa, and w. w.
Terwilliger of Jackson, Mich, were
the managers and assisted in the
makeup of the comic characters.
Perhaps the most pleasing incident of
the play was the character sketch of a
horse given by Mr.. Cortis.

BANCROFT WILL :.
NOT RUN AGAIN
Attorney General Refuses to
be Candidate at Com
ing Primary.
GIVES A PARTING SHOT
Senator Owen Will Probab-
ly Succeed Him as
Election Result.

Attorney General Levi H. Bancroft
of RichIand Center will not be a can
didate for renomination nor will be be
a candidate for any office this fall. An
nouncement to that effect was made
by Mr.. Bancroft on Thursday.
sMy determination not to become a
candidate" said Mr.. Bancroft, sis
based solely on present political con-
ditions."
He admitted that a denomination
would be gratifying, feeling that his
administration had merited the appre-
baton of the people. Upward of
Sc, 900, 600 inheritance taxes had been
collected by the attorney generals
office in the last two years, he pointed
out, and if there existed dominant
party in Wisconsin worthy of the
name, he said, he would have been re-
nominated without opposition, but
now the office was wante1 for ''one
of the elect"
Mr.. Bancroft gave the progresslves
some caustic words in a public state
ment. Evidently he saw the hand
writing on the wall and decided to
avoid disaster. His successor will
probably be Senator Walter g. Owen
of st. Croix county.
