FALSE SYMPATHY.

Human nature Is proYerbIally In
consistent. 1t applauds the Firtuons,
but when a question or material help
arises 1t would seemingly rather aid
the vicious. Thousands are perish
ing around US daily whose only crime
is that they are poor, and yet there
Is little sympathy for them, even from
their relatives and former friends,
and no helping hand Is stretched forth
to aid them; but If these same peo-
pie would commit some helnous Of
Tense and fall into the clutches of the
law. there would be no lack of SYM
pathy OF substantial aid
Let a man. for instance, become a
murderer, and no matter how much
OF an outcast he may have been be-
fore he become weighted with the
curse OF Cain, he straightWay be-
comes an object of interest. SYM
pathizers apparently spring up at
every corner. and money Is poured
forth to prove his innocence or to MI
tigate the justice of his sentence. He
becomes hero In the eyes of those
who neglected him before, and the
taking Of fellow creatures life, for
a very slight provocation or for no
proyocation at all. advances him a
thousand fold IN the estimation of the
world
He becomes a distinguished man,
and the conservatory and the preserve
closet are rified Of their contents to
soothe his hours of Imprisonment.
Philanthropie ladies' flock around him
and tender4hearted and soft-headed
men, or those anxious for notorIety,
come forward to cheer him. they
have little or no thought for the poor
victim who has suddenly been sent
to bis account with "all his lmperfec-
lions on his head. but for the MUIR

could have won easily. Mr.. Gerard

Absolutely the Best

To suit the young and the old the
modern exhibition must combine ed
ucation with amusement and present
something that will make a lasting
and a favorable impression on the
public Owing to the rapid disappear
ance of the Indian and the astonish-
ing advance of the west towards civ
ilization, the history of that large
and important portion Of our coun-
try is yet an unwritten book to
thousands of our people.
The Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch big
three-ring wild west circus faithfully
reproduces life on the frontier, show
ing Indian sports and warfare, the
skill of the Cowboy with six shoot
er, lasso and pony, the discipline and
training of the western girl, the
clever work of the bOla thrOWers
of the South American plains, the
Arabs in their wonderful riding and
shooting, the MeXicans as marksmen
and horsemen, the Cossacks of the
Russian steppes and the innumerable
other features Of this unsurpassed en-
tertainment.
The military tournament introduced
is something never equalled either in
magnitude or picturesqueness En-
gagged in it are the Famous Ameri-
can Zouaves, u S. Cavalry, English,
German. French and Mexican soldiers
and many other interesting people
who will be strangers to many hun
dreds who see them here.
Kit Carsons Buffalo Ranch big
three-ring wild west circus will have
five bands of music, the me st famous
of which is the cowboy band. The
great street calvacade will be wit
messed by thousands on day of eXhib-
ition.
Impress the date of exhibition on
your mind. Will exhibit at Ladysmith
on Tuesday July l, afternoon and
night.

LIGHTNING HITS TWO PLACES
Homes of Backen Brothers and Johh
Trecartn are Struck

John Trecartin's residence, about
a mile west of the city, was struck
by lightning during the severe cleo
trical storm Wednesday morning.
Damage to the extent of S75 or SSO
was; done, but no one was injured.
Mr.. Trecartin thought the lightning
had struck his sons house across
the road and did not discover that
it was his own house until he had
rushed across to his sons place and
returned home.
Lightning struck the home of An
ton, Peter and Ole Backen, one-half
mile east of this city Saturday after
noon. while Anton was in the house.
Anton says he saw fire enough for a
Fourth of July celebration, but sus-
tained no injury, although he was a
trifle dazed by the shock. Two up
stairs windows were broken and
some damage was done to the walls
and roof.

Another interesting game was
played on the local baseball grounds
Sunday afternoon, Ladysmith winning
from Hawkins in the eleventh in
ming, to 6.
Hawkins scored first in the sec
ond inning, and maintained lead
until the seventh, when three of the
local lads made the circuit of the
bases. In the first half of the eighth
session, Hawkins scored run, put
ting them once more in the lead.
The locals evened the score in their
half, however, and neither side was
able to get man around the cir

Hawkins hopes of victory were
raised to a high pitch when they
scored a run in the eleventh, but
two runs by the county seat boys, in
their half of the inning, cinched the
game.

AER0PLANE FLIGHTS JULY |
Greatest Attraction That Has Ever
Came to Rusk County

On Tuesday July /, Kit Carson's
big 3 ring wild west circus will ex-
| hibit at Ladysmith afternoon and
night. This is the largest amuse-
ment enterprise of it's character in
the world. Solid trains of their own.
double-length cars are required for
the transportation of this colossal
attraction. Never before have so
many features been cOmbinde under
one management The aeroplane for
| instance is but one of the strange
sights to be seen with this exhib-
ition. Not a model but a Curtis Far
mum aeroplane furnished by the Chi
cago AerOplane Manufacturing Co,
and guaranteed to give flights daily.
1t will circle the city and alight at
show grounds for the publics in
| spectiOn
A menagerie of trained animals is
also an innovation with wild west
show. Elephants, camels, buffalo and
on down to the smaller species of
bipeds and quadrupeds. A two mile
street pageant glittering with gold
and silver, win delight the eye and
the exquisite music of the three big
| bands will please the lovers of har-
mony.

ranch in the world, we carry nothing
but the very best of riders and rop-
ers and guarantee to ride any horse
or mule free of charge if brought to

The total fire loss on last Fourth
was $576,525. The daily average fire
loss for the previous six months of
the year was $778,3S2. A sane cele-
bration in most cities and special
alertness on the part of citizens gen
orally to the special fire dangers of
the day actually gave us fire loss
lower than the daily average. Thus
lives, eyes, limbs and property were
saved and the truth demonstrated
that real fire prevention prevents
and pays well.
In seven great battles for Amer
lean liberty there were 1119 killed
and wounded. Compare this with the
annual toll of life and limb as above
given. Then draw your own re-
| Elections.
There is still room to to replace
love of noise with love of humanity,
and to supplant a menagerie cele-
bration with one of real patriotism.
Let picnics, band concerts, children's S
parades, pageants and flag drills
take the place of barbarous uproar
and gunpowder.
This will rob Independence Day of
none of its genuine pleasures and
will rehabilitate it as a day Of real
rejoicing and true patriotism.
AS in former years we also now
urge a thorough cleaning up of all
rubbish, and a restriction of the
| use of fireworks both as to time
and place
Police officers should strictly en-
force such restrictions, also all city
ordinances and the state laws relat-
ing to fireworks. We call special at
tention to Chapter 313, Laws of 1911,
and Section 4397a Of the Revised
Statutes of this state.
We hope, that city governments
civic bodies and all good citizens
will cooperate to make the coming
Fourth" a day of pleasure, games
amusement and patriotism, instead
of a day of mutilation, blindness
lock-jaw, powder-poisoning, death an6
devastation by fire.

HOMESTEADERS MUST PAY TO
KEEP UP GREAT PROJECTS
United Press Association

Washington, May 26.-Cost of op-
GRAFTON and maintenance of the gov
ernment's great irrigation projects
until they are fully paid for by home
steaders and turned over to the set
tiers association must be borne by
the homesteaders themselves by as
sessments, the Supreme Court de-
clared today in an important test
case arising in the Yakima valley,
Washington state
Enormous expenses in the Recla-
nation service in maintenance Of the
great federal irrigation projects hing
ed on todays decision Federal courts
of the northwest decided Uncle Sam
must pay the costs and could not levy
assessments upon the water users un-
til their contract to purchase the
arid land and water rights was com
pletely paid up and the projects them
selves turned over to the homestead
ers.
ID. p. Baker, settler on land in
the Sunnyside reclamation project in
the Yakima valley of Washington
brought the test case. He enjoined
the Reclamation Service assessing
taxes to pay, operating cases of sup
plying water to his land while it is
being operated by the government
and before he and other settlers ac-
uuire absolute title to the property
and authority to operate the big
ditch" themselves. The lower federal
courts held that the government
must pay such maintenance charges
out of the general reclamation fund.
The above coming at a time wher
the settlement of the irrigation pro
iects is at a standstill, if we may
use the language of the head of thai
department, only adds to the diff
culties surrounding the government
efforts to settle the distant and isO
lated portions of the country. How
much better it would have been i
Uncle Sam had devoted his efforts
to the settlement of the millions o
acres of good land in Wisconsin ant
adjoining states The dream of irri
cation has had severe awakening.
