Changes Politics in q Day.

In reply to an article by Mrs. John
Luce as to "Shanghi' Chandler and
IL. e. Noyes being in partnership will
say that do not remember that Mr..
Chandler and Mr.. Noyes ever publish
ed paper in Baraboo. | went to
Raraboo in 1867 to take charge of the
Baraboo independent at the request
of Col. Noyes, that is, to take charge
of the typographical end of it. That
was during the great hop year when
hops sold at Is cents per pound and
growers paid rs cents box for pick
ing. That was also the year when the
narcotic of the 'op" was deemed so
beneficial to the health of almost all
the ladies of the town. 1t was laugh
able to see how they all discovered just
at that time what it was they were SO
much in need of.
It was getting along pretty late in
the summer and Col. Noyes was look
ing every day for his commission as
postmaster and thought little or moth
ing of his editorial duties and it was
with the utmost difficulty that L
could get copy for the paper. [ went
to him one day on the street and said
to him: ''Colonel, how am 1 to get
the paper out on time unless you fur
nish copy for it? The hands are all
idle for want of something to set for
the paper" WE'LL" said he, "furnish
your own copy" "Do you mean it?''
said I. EYES," said he, "go and fur
nish your own copy"
| did so. The county fair was
some weeks in the future at that time
and [ went back to the office and
wrote quite lengthy article about
the county fair, urging people to pre-
pare for it and do something nice
for it. People laughed at me saying:
"Who cares anything about the fair?
Hops are in the lead now and every
body is crazy on that subject"
But I did not care as it was an easy
and prolific subject to write upon and
from that time on Col. Noyes wrote
little or nothing for the Independent
and when he was fairly installed in
the post office he formally withdrew
from the editorship and turned it all
over to me.
After had run the thing for some
weeks, "Shanghi" Chandler put in an

appearance, calling on Col. Noyes ano
putting in plea for the duty o.
writing the editorials. The post
master brought him up to me and in,
troduced him. Of course [ knew him
well by reputation but had had nc
personal acquaintance with him UP
to that time. For few weeks we ran
the Indepe 1dent together.
Sudden Change in Politics.
Colonel d. S. Vittum or M. j.
Drown, or both, were anxious to have
Democratic paper in Baraboo and
bought the office and paper from Col
onel Noyes and turned it over to w.
III. Garfield who came into the office
and claimed ownership. He said,
"The Independent will hereafter be a
Democratic paper and / will be the
editor"
That was thunder clap out of a
clear sky to both Chandler and myself
and threw us both out of a job. Mr..
Garfield entreated me to stay in the
office and have charge of the printing
and act as local editor while he did
the heavy political work.
Mr.. Garfield made failure of it
and the office was closed for time.
Subsequently Sid Foster, printer,
from Friendship and an old acquaint-
ance of Chandler, started the Baraboo
Herald and Chandler may have had
something to do with that, but I can
not say positively.
John FL. Powers and myself after
wards got the office into our hands
and moved the newspaper part of it to
Elroy and on the first of January,
1878, issued the first number of the Ell
roy Elton. We ran it until the month
of August was partly gone, when
Powers retired and | finished out the
year. Then l closed the office and
moved it to Lodi where it has been
ever since in my hands. For 80 years
it was used in printing The Lodi Val
ley News.
Chandler never saw boil or a sore
of any kind OH the head hand or foot
of any body that he did not want to
get his hands Oh it and examine and
perhaps dress 1t. He had q natural
bend that way and would have made
an excellent doctor or surgeon.

Evidently there has been some talk
about town as to the amount of taxes
paid by the Ringing cir
Gus and the Ringing families.
It is safe to say that this has
not been the gossip of the people who
pay taxes. Those who keep up the ex-
penses of the city know that for every
dollar of wealth moved away that the
extra burden resulting therefrom
must be borne by those who remain.
What of those who pay no taxes in
Baraboo? That is easily answered.
II is deeply regretted that conditions
have arisen which is bringing serious
loss, not only to Baraooo but to other
cities in the state. Although Charles
Ringing and family have decided to
move to New York, it is hoped that
the circus and the other families will
remain. No firm has given Baraboo
so much good advertising as the
Rinelings and to lose this wide-awake,
progressive and internationally known
Institution would be loss from which
this city could not recover in many
years.

Baraboo:

Editors, Baraboo News,
Baraboo, Wisconsin.
Dear Sirs:
I am advised that there is a de-
clded misunderstanding as to the
taxes the Ringlings' have been
paying in the past years at Bara-
boo. L believe statements made
by some of our friends have Great
ed wrong impression and in or
der to correct same l wish to state
that the Ringing families, includ-
ing taxes paid on homes and per
sonal property, as we'll as on
circus property have been paying
about one-twentieth of all taxes COL
lected in Baraboo, a city of be-
tween six and seven thous and in
habitants. This of course does
not include taxes paid by en-
ployes of the circus.
AS this is matter of record the
above statements can be easily
verified by any one interested
enough to inspect the tax records.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
lnvigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

which they have inhabited for years

only the most necessary furniture and
generally without the slightest trace of
an attempt of decoration, it would have
known how deliciously funny its little
flight into the realm of domestic poetry
must seem to the men of whom it would
write.
Further, has not the learned court un.
necessarily laid itself open to the base
calumniator who would have it that
this was ''policy" decision, when it
defines the general purpose and intent
of the statute, saying that this is the
agement of the diversifcation of local
industries, for the social, political and
material benefit of the country"H For
where, either in the law or in the evil
dence before it, could the court find
that7
However, the details are immaterial
as compared with the general effect OF
the decision. If, as the Honolulu press
contends, it has cleared the way fol
! honest homesteading and has made
bootless further attempts of "fakers, y
| then, of course, splendid result has
been gained. We can not. however, helT
feeling that the decision has shown
that the intending settler can not de
pend ON a strict compliance with the
word of the law for the securing of his
! patent. The decision says, in effect
that he must fulfill the spirit of the
law, and just what constitutes that has
not been determined. If the intending
settler stands forth and asks: eff the
number of residence years named in my
agreement is not sufficient, just how
long must / live ON the lot2' who car

One can not expect even the mos
bona fde settler in existence to talk
up land on a gamble as to how cour
or administration, which may change
any day, will interpret the spirit of {
law.
1t would seem as if the decision hat
taken away the one basis on which TIN
settler mightApin his faith, without Civ
ing him instead any rule to serve a
his guide.
incidentally, no matter how benef
cial may have been the decision from
political point of view, the question
remains as to how far the government
when it took the lot and also the none,
which had been paid for it, did justice
to Henderson.

AERIAL GUN FIRES
STREAM OF LEAD
IN OFFICIAL TEST ARM FOR AERO
PLANES DISCHARGES 500
SHOTS A MINUTE.
BY Ernest G. Walker.
rail Special of The Advertiser.)

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Tirst tests
of the new rapid fire Lewis gun, which
weighs only twenty-five pounds, fires
500 shots a minute and is designed so
it can be used advantageously from an
aeroplane, were conducted at Fort Myer
today and were highly successful At
a range of 100 yards the gun, fred from
the ground, sent out a steady spray of
bullets which ate up the target like
the spread of spoonful of acid. 1t
is contemplated to test the gun from
an aeroplane at College Park in the
near future.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff, Brigadier General William
Crozier, chief of ordnance, and several
members of a special army board wit
messed the tests today. The gun is the
invention of Lieutenant Colonel Isaac
N. Lewis.
Brigadier General James Allen, CHIEF
signal officer, is enthusiastic over the
possibilities of the new gun fol
offensive work from an aeroplane. II
is so light that it can be easily carried
and it is believed will render eact
aeroplane destructive agent capable
of moving down infantry.
The ammunition for the new weapon
is carried in circular cases of twenty
five service cartridges each. One of the
features of the gun is that it is all
cooled, a draught of air being forced
through the casing of the barrel by the
power generated in its discharge.
Another gun of fourth ealiber de
signed for aeroplane use by Commander
Cleland Davis, of the navy, recently
had a preliminary trial on Long Island
Sound.

HAMA IS DECORATED,
PLASTERED AND FED
WITH FISH CATCH

Hama has produced the biggest fish
story of the year and the veracity of
the yarn is established by the fact that
every house in the village is singled
with fish, tackled down to dry in the
sun. A couple of Hama huis turned
out one day n week or so ago and
caught no less than 62,22s akule and
for several days thereafter there were
fish to sell, fish to give away and fish
to throw away in Hama. The planters
about Hama are fertilizing with fish
and any man in the community who
goes without provender during the next
month or so deserves to starve.
When the Kelenahe and Makaike hui
brought in the big haul the Japanese
fishermen thought they saw an oppor-
tunity to make rare profit and Okada,
head of fishing syndicate, contracted
to take the fish at one dollar per kaaui
which includes forty fish. lie had not
estimated the catch closely, however
| and when the tally ran up to twenty
thousand he quit. Then Chin Kee, a
farsighted Chinaman, started corner
on salt and the price mounted to five
dollars bag. Out of the last forty
two thousand there were sales for q
time at ten cents bag, each bag con
tanning one hundred and twenty fish
and finally Sheriff Crowell took the
matter in hand and announced that the
remnant would have to be buried OF
sold, SO the planters took the balance
and ploughed them into the soil.

RUMOR NOW GIVES
CUP|D'S VOTE TO
THE ROUGH RIDER

According to persistent rumor that
circulated around town yesterday there
is another letter from the Delegate
which threatens to prove more of SEN
sation than even his famous screed TO
the Rev. Stephen Desha of some months
ago. In effect it is asserted that Cupid
has cast his lot with the Roosevelt
forces at the coming convention and
has fatty declared his intention of cast
ing his vote for the Rough Rider when
the time comes.
Efforts made by The Advertiser to
find Mr.. Desha yesterday failed, SO no
authoritative statement can be printed
from him. 1t is understood, however,
that the letter was sent by the Dele
gate to Mr.. Desha s residence in Ha-
wall and forwarded to him here. The
language is reported as emphatic, and
to the general effect that while the
other members of the delegation have
been and still are bound to vote for
the President at the convention Kuhio
has not made any definite binding
promise and is consequently free to do
as he pleases.
