MANY BURGLAR|ES
ABOUT STATE
Thieves Make igHauIs of Foun-
tain Pens.

The burglars who attempted to en-
ter the Otto Pharmacy may be the
same ones who robbed the Burnton
store in Fond du Lac Thursday,
Of $436 worth Of fountain pens,
and other valuabIes. Tuesday night,
the c. R. Maxwell jewelry store in
Oshkosh was burglarfzed ard foun-
tain pens valued at SIS, were taken.
Eau Claire and GAINESVILLE stores were
also robbed. The thieves seem to
have mania for fountain pens.
The fountain pens taken from the
Oshkosh store were Houston and Wa
terman makes and those taken from
the Burnton store in Fond du Lac,
were all Of the Parker make.
The police believe that the men
who attempted TO gain entrance to
the Otto Pharmacy, with the mistake
idea that it was the rear of the
jewelry store. are the same men who
have been committing the other burg
laries about the state.
The police believe that the pens
are marketed by the thieves in Chi
cago IN nearly every instance, the
thieves have gained entrance through
a rear window.

DENIED BY MARSHAL
FIELD & COMPAN

A story that appeared in a local
paper some time ago regarding the
laying off Of a number Of employees
by the Marshall Field Company of
Chicagoyand the general conditions
of the cotton market has been abso--
lutely denied by the man ager of the
Marshall Field & Co.'S store.
A. NJ. Wilson, manager of the
Johnson & Hill Cos store of this
city, being personally acquainted
with Mr. Woodccck, of the big Chi
cago sore wrcte him asking him
regarding the rumors. The following
letter, dated Oct. %, has been receiv-
ed by Mr.. Wilson:
The rumor that we have raid off
the number of people mentioned in
your letter Of Oct. 20th, is without
foundation. During the summer
months we did reduce our force, as
is customary at THAI time of the
year At the present time, however,
We are adding a few people and un-
doubtedly will continue to do so IN
iii December.
1t is rather difficult to say what
the future viii bring with reference
to coIored cotton goods. We are of
the opinion that the increase in price
will not be great and will hardly be
noticeable by the consumer. Retail
stores undoubtedly will have to pay
slight increase. We only have ref
erence however, TO the 1915 business.
Signed, Yours very truly,
Marshall Field & Company.
LINDSAY T. WOODCOCK,
Manager.

A REAL SPOOK PARTY

The members of the Historical and
Literary Society royalty entertained
an equal number of guests at a Hal
Iowe'en party on Friday evening at
the home of Mrs. o. T. Hougen on
First street north. About thirty Ia-
dies were preaent.
The home had been decorated
throughout with things emblematic'
of the occasion, Ia which, bats. black
cats and witches predominated.
The guess upon arriving, We're re
ceived in a dimly lighted hall by
holloW-eyed "spoOl1s" who beckoned
YOU to follow them through darkened
rooms and passages. From a remote
part of the house came weird means
and other sounds, while every now
and then the guests were treated 10
the most unlocked for surprises. One
moment. a cold, cIammy hand was
THRUST into yours mayhaps the hand
of a long departed ancestor, come
buck 10 this mundane sphere 10 greet
you. The next moment something
with claws and soft, like a black cat,
is thrust into your lap-and before
you have quite made up your mind
just what it might be, you find your
hands in a bowl full of-what p
cold, Shiny angle wOrms?-oh no of
course not, but that is what you
think it is, and, of course, you can
not see them, for the room is dark,
and you cannot see your hand be-
fore your eyes; and thus the sur
prise continued. Finally, upon re-
turning TO the reception parlor, more
spoo1s awaited you, ready with more
surprises.
In the library before an open
crate of glowing fire, sat a wise
old witch, with head and hands rest
ing upon her staff, and beside her
a huge black cat. Over the glowing
GOALS hung a black caldron, filled
with mysterious looking packages.
with the aid Of which this most won
derfuI witch was able to fOretelI the
occupation of each ones future hus-
band. And then after all the guests
were quietly seated in very dimly
lighted rooms, a black real spOok
told a real spook story in real
..,,,yy-,- ,,-o,- tbo+ i,St cauSod tho
shivers to creep and creep until
the climax was reached, when this
black real spook grabbed the guest
nearest her and caused almost every
body to faint away.
This ended the 'spoolly" part OF
the evenings entertainment.
After this. the lights were turned
on. and revealed such tasteful and
dainty decorations. all emblematic of
Halloween. il II
Everyone's attention WAS then turn
ed to lily bridge and seven tables
were used for this purpose.
After several delightful games, Mrs,
I'd. Turbin. was found TO have larg-
est score and carried off the hon.
ors. An elaborate repast was serv-
ed at the close of the evenings
games
Everyone who participated at this
event will long remember this as a
most delightful evening.

pleased over Billy MOBILES" election
to the office of county clerk, not
only because he is a native of Wood

but because he is well qualified for

His election has been made posi-
Bile by receiving Republican votes,
and We believe William appreciates
that fact. He is thankful for that
evidence Of confidence on the part
Of his opposing party. We know he
will give his best talent to Wood

our judgment but that he will make
