Former PIatteville Man Shot.

]. Blakely, brother of Mrs.
Rachel Perry of Platteville and cous-
in of j. P. Blakely of this city,
was killed by being shot near his
home at WaKeeny, Kansas, last Sun :
day evening about dusk. 1t appears
he had gone to the rescue of Mrs.
O'Neil, who was related to him by
marriage, and who was evidently
being abused by her husband. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Blakely heard her cries,
he went to help her and was shot by
Mr.. O'Neil. He died in short time
after the tragedy occurred. He was
a man nearly seventy years of age.
The Western Kansas World of that
place, speaks most highly of Mr..
Blakely as a man and a citizen and
eulogizes him as hero for thus Civ
ing his life to protect the weak in
distress. The tragedy cast gloom
over all in that community. Ger
tainly, his act was one of courage
and bravery. Plattevllle Journal.

DR.. E. P. Davis of Philadelphia, who
had been called in for consultation,
realized that the time for hope had
passed.
He tookthe president into the bed
room of the White house and there in
a broken voice told him the truth.
Mr.. Wilson'S face blanched but he
bore the shock we'll. He was in
formed the end was only question of
hours.
Mr.. Wilson then took his daugh-
tiers, Mrs. w. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre
and Miss Margaret Wilson aside and
told them of their mothers condition.
Until then they had thought there
was chance for her recovery.
From that time on the president
and his daughters remained constant
ly at Mrs. Wilson's bedside. The
president held his wife's hand and
the three daughters were grouped
near by.

something worth while ahead of them

Our proposition is just as good as
the headlines denote. No sham to it
It's all right straight from the shoul-
der; business proposition based on
business principles and for the am
bilious people of this locality We are
addressing this to you as we'll as any,
one else. If you have wished for an
automobile, and thought probably you
would some day purchase one, read on
and you'll learn the details of an
offer the like of which you never
heard. Did anyone ever offer to pay
you for trying to get an automobile ?
Certainly not, but when you reduce
our offer to ''brass tacks" you find
that we are offering you just that.
Let's get into the matter little fur.
Their now. Of the most Importance is
the fact that we are going to give
away 1914 model Ford touring car.
That's really the most important
item after that comes the beautiful
diamond ring, then the college
scholarship, then the two gold watch
es and the special prize. All of
these we offer to the ambitious peo-
pie who will devote portion of their
spare time to the contest, which will
last about seven or eight weeks.
Now that would seem quite enough,
wouldn't it? But we are not going
to stop there; we are going to give
everyone who does not win prize
ten per cent of the amount turned in
by them, providing they make cash
report each week.
ARE WE GENEROUS OR RECK-
LESS?
Well, / guess it's little of both.
We want to increase the circulation
of the Herald, and we want to do it
quick. That's our main reason for
putting on this big campaign, but of
course, renewals of old subscriptions
and collections will count votes too.
We would much rather consider our
selves generous than reckless. OF
course, the offer is very generous but
with us it is "give and take prop
osition: you help US and We'll help
you. Let's call it mutual benefit
and let it go at that. I'm sure we
will all benefit from it.
THE RELIABLE FORD.
Of course you know what the Ford
is. You don't see any of them stand
ing still long enough to look them
over carefully, they are always on
the go.
People buy other cars to represent
their accumulation of wealth, but
they buy Fords to enjoy. BY way of

MRS. WILSON is DEAD;
END COMES SUDDENLY
President and Family Stricken With
Grief-Both Houses of Con-
qress Adjourn for Funeral.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 6.-Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, wife of the presi-
dent of the United States, died at the
White House at 5 o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Death came after a brave
struggle of months against Bright s
disease with complications.
The president was completely I'M
nerved by the shock and his grief
was heart rendering. He bore up well
under the strain, however, and de-
voted himself to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson
was unconscious. Her illness took p
turn for the worse shortly before
1'oclock in the afternoon, and from
then on she grew gradually weaker.
FAMILY Al BEDSIDE.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
were the president and their three
daughters, DR.. Cary I. Grayson, u.
s. N, and a nurse were in the room
and lust outside a door were Secretary
McAdoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr..
Wilson's son-in-laws, and Mr.. Tumul-
IT,, his secretary.
Both houses of congress adjourned
when Mrs. Wilson's death was an
nounced and for a brief time the
wheels of the government practically
stopped while every one paid respect
to the loss of the president.
PRESIDENT Is PREPARED.
The beginning of the end came at
10 o. clock Thursday morning, when

GUARDIANS OF LIBERTY
LOSE OUT IN court
Judge ClementsOn SuStainS At
titude of PIatteviIIe Council.
in the Contention Over Renting the
City Hall to Anti-CathoIic Or
ganization for Meetings.

The contention between the city
council of Platteville and an anti
Catholic organization whose members
style themselves The Guardians of
Liberty, and which sought to compel
the council, against its will, to rent
the city hall to them for the purpose
of holding meetings to be addressed
by a speaker furnished by that
organization, came up before the
circuit court here for hearing, last
Saturday.
1t appears that when the city hall
there was built it included an audi
torium and stage which have since
been rented more or less for public
assemblages. During the past year
a Catholic and Catholic dissen-
tion has been forced into Platteville
local political affairs, and because of
utterances made by speaker for the
Guardians of Liberty, the council
was unwilling that the room should
be rented for other meetings of like
character.
On the 9Th of June this year, Geo.
Metcalfe, of Platteville, acting as
attorney for the Guardians of Liberty,
made application to Judge Clementson
for mandatory injunction to compel
the city to surrender the room to the
organization for the purpose stated.
This application was denied by the
Judge, who refused to determine the
matter until it was bought before the
court in session, and August 8 was
the date fixed for such hearing.
The city demurred to the COM
plant, through its attorneys, j. w.
Murphy and R. A. Goodell, alleging
no cause of action! and contending
that the council was the only
rightful authority having jurisdiction
in deciding for what purpose the
auditorium should be rented, and
that in cases where they felt that the
best interests of the city were to be
served by declining to rent it for any
certain purpose it was their legal
right to refuse the rental.
This contention was agreed to by
the Judge, which virtually disposes
of the matter.

TELLS ABOUT ARMY WORM
Pennsylvania Scientist Says the
Newest Pest in Our Section is
a Kind of Cut Worm.

Some of the farmers in the vicinity
of Lancaster are complaining about
the ravages of the army worm, which
they fear will equal the white grub
in its devastating work.
Concerning this pest, Prof. H. A.
Surface, state BIOLOGIST of Pennsyl-
vania, In bulletin issued recently
says: The army worm is nothing
more nor less than a kind of cutworm.
There are many kinds of vegetation
upon which they do not feed. For
example, clover and alfalfa are left
alone, while grass, oats, corn and
other cereals when not too ripe are
readily devoured.
The directions for killing the
worm as given by Prof. Surface con-
sists of nothing more than either to
spray with one-half ounce of arsenic
of lead in each gallon Of water, or
to apply such liquid as a sprinkle
from sprinkling cans, or to mix dry
arsenic of lead with about twenty five
times its bulk of flour or dust, or
powder of any kind, and dust it over
the vegetation liable to be attacked.
The dust should be applied in the
evening or morning while the dew is
on, or after sprinkling or spraying
the vegetation. A coarse pepper box
containing arsenate of lead and flour
will protect any lawn from the pests.

QUEER FACTS IN GEOGRAPH Y
Some Interesting Things That Are
Little Known About Countries
South of Us.

In his entertaining book, the
Conquest of the Tropics, - Frederick
Upham Adams calls attention to some
little known geographical facts:
"Most of us picture Havana as
nearly south of New York, when in
fact it is about south of Detroit. A
study of the map of the new world
discIoses the disconcerning fact that
all of the west coast of South Amerl-
ca is east of Detroit, and that most
of it is hundreds of miles east of New
York City. The truth of the matter
is that we should call that continent
Southeast America.
WHICH IS EAST END OF THE CANAL!
81 also made the astounding dis
covery that considerable portion of
South America lies north of. the
southerly section of North America.
When we set sail from Colon for
Santa Martha, Columbia, we do not
head south or southeast, we point our
prov northeast. This is almost as
puzzling as the other fact to the
effect that Colon, the Caribbean port
(the supposed east port) is twenty
odd miles east of Panama City which
is on the Pacific and presumably west
end of the canal. 1t is positively
uncanny to look out of a window OF

watch the sun rise squarely out of
the Pacific ocean.
Of course an accurate map jusrifies
the sun in selecting the Pacific ocean
for rising rather than setting pur-
poses, but it never seemed right or
proper to me. Oceans should stay
where they belong, and the Pacific
has no business to twist itself to
the east for Panama
