 Major Boughton.
 Major Boughton had hardly left the stand when Judge Lindsey, who came to New York in the hope of discussing the strike situation with John D. Rock efeller, Jr., jumped to his feet and de- clared that a great many statements of the witnesses were entirely false.
 Judge Takes Stand
 The judge was thereupon asked to take the stand
 "The situation in Colorado is now bigger than a strike" he said The outbreak there is merely local symp- tom of wider disorder"
 Judge Lindsey said 800 children in Colo rado coal mines had been made orphans by explosions that resulted from careless ness and failure to install ordinary safety appliances.
 He recited number of incidents which he said had led inevitably to the final protest of the mine workers, and ex- claimed:
 There are no more lawless public cor porations in the country than in Colorado.
 Colorado" said Judge Lindsey, "has perfected the science of corrupting men. It's judges, it's supreme court judges are owned like office boys. Its lawyers, it's business men all are owned. There are, of course. fearless men, but they have paid heavy sacrifice for their fearless ness"
 Tn referring to Major Broughton, Judge Lindsey said: Tt makes no difference whether he is attorney for owners of gold mines or coal mines. If he Is acting for | Colburn his sympathies must be with l the owners
 "The government has allowed men to be l recruited in the militia that shouldn't be in any military organization

The new garage on Henry street,
built by Lampman & Brown last sea-
son, was sold to w. F. Mabbett and
Herman Stark this week, possession to

has had two years experience in the
Culton garage and competent to tackle
almost any ills that an automobile is
subject to. The new firm will doubt

ular cars. The sale did not include
that part of the block occupied by the

ELMER HERRICK.

The sudden and unexdecteG death of
Elmer Herrick some time during the
morning of Tuesday, July 2lst, has
caused distinct shock to the neigh
borhood. Monday he walked out to the
farm of Julius Benash west of town
where he engaged to build tobacco
shed, and was apparently in his usual
health. The next morning he COM
planned of not feeling we'll and was not
up when his wife went to her employ
ment as extra clerk at the department
store SALE It seems that he arose,
dug some potatoes in the garden and
had them partly washed for dinner
when he was undoubtedly taken i'll and
laid down on a couch where his wife
discovered him at noon when she re-
turned, lifeless. A physician was sum-
moned but the indications were that he
had been dead an hour or so. Heart
disease, with which he had been af-
fiicted for some time, is supposed to be
the direct cause of his death.
Elmer, son of Mrs. Emma Herrick,
was born on farm west of Edgerton
October Is, 1877. The family removed
to this city when he was 10 years of
age, where he has since resided, fol-
lowing the business of carpenter. On
June l, 1904, he was united in marri-
age to Miss Anna Lawrence Besides
the widow and daughter Cleo, 9 years
old, he is mourned by his mother, a
brother, Floyd of ST. Paul, and sis
ter Mrs. Frank Ash.
Funeral services were held from his
late home at o'clock Thursday after
noon, conducted by Rev. j. c. Spilman,
interment taking place in Fassett Gem
etery.

The leading topic of discussion for
the week is the Travers-W Wick Chau-
tauqua being conducted under large
tent on the school grounds. The pro-
gram presented thus far has proven
very satisfactory and the attendance
good considering the extreme high
temperature that has prevailed. Some
attractive features are yet to take
place before the close on Saturday.
The management say the grounds are
the most accessible and satisfactory
they have found this season.
Rock county democrats had just a
lovely time when they assembled at
GAINESVILLE Tuesday afternoon under a
call for county convention. Harmony
was so thick that it looked like the po-
lice might be called in at any time dur
ing the proceedings. The Karel sup
porters were able to muster bare
majority and proceeded to do business.
Notwithstanding the vigorous protests
of the Awkward faction backed by the
federal office holders. The fight start
ed as soon as the caucus had been
called to order by County Chairman
Gardiner Kalvelage. The division was
over the election of a chairman, the
faction headed by ]. j. Cunningham,
the new GAINESVILLE postmaster, being
opposed to the selection of Alex. Paul
of Milton Junction, who is supposed to
be in favor of Karel, for the position.
Paul was elected chairman by Is to
% vote. Resolutions were passed en-
dorsing the Milwaukee ticket for state
officers. Endorsements for county Of
fcers were also made as follows: Floyd
Carter, Beloit, for sheriff; Fred r.
Sherman, Edgerton, for county clerk;
Clark Palmer, Lima, and O. P. Muir
win, Fulton, for county treasurer; Gard
ner Kalvelage, GAINESVILLE, and c. Buck
ley, Beloit, for district attorney; w. B..
Sullivan, GAINESVILLE, for register, of
deeds; D. T. Boner, Clinton, and Frank
Hayes, GAINESVILLE, for clerk of court;
Alexander Paul, present incumbent,
Milton Junction, and T. S. Richardson,
Evansville, for assemblyman from the
| first district; John Riordan and John
C. Clarke, both of Beloit, for assem-
blyman from second district.
Another business change took place
in this village the past week. S. G.
Shampnor has sold his stock of general
merchandise to Charles Seffens of
| Stoughton. In the deal Mr.. Shampnor
| takes house and lot in Edgerton. Mr..
Seffens has also leased the Shampnor
building and will continue the business.
He is familiar with the mercantile bus
mess and comes with the reputation OF
| being wide-awake and d hustler. In
ventory of stock is now being taken
! aid as soon as this is completed Mr..
| Seffens will take possession. The OBJ
| server extends to him it's hand of vel
come and wishes him success.
| Observer. We understand the Edger-
| ton Investment Co. are interested in
this deal. The Edgerton residence
| spoken of is the Chas. Clatworthy
home in the third ward. Messrs. Whit
tet, Blanchard & Atwell made the in

tell their own story. They show that

evil conditions. That step alone
would do away.with a great percent

putting stop to child labor we would
cut our prison population in half!
by thus correcting the physical

our present system of punishment

HOW CHILD LABoRERs BECOME
"GUNMEN".

Three of the four New York gun
men who paid the death penalty for
the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
were products of child labor.
f'Gyp the Blood" was an errand boy
at the age of 13.
whitley Lewis, while still child,
toiled as a bookbinder's apprentice,
and then as tinsmith's.
'Dago Frank" shaved from an early
age in department store.
The fourth of the band, Lefty
LOUIE" was product of the slum
streets, into which he had been
thrown on his own resources from
the age of 6.
Close connection between child
labor and murder is shown by the ia
nous case of the Chicago "car barn
bandits who were hanged for muir
der few years ago.
Harvey Van Dine, murderer at
20, was forced to grind out his life
from the age of Is in the blackness
and heat of an engine room, where
he was the engineers assistant.
Peter Neidermeyer, when he was
under II, began to work as drivers

SCAFFOLO FALLS WITH
THREE CARPENTERS.
NeSsrS. John S. Richardson, Levin
Wroten And Darcy Davis Go
Down With Scaffold at the Fair
Grounds.

While working on the grandstand
of the Dorchester County Fair AS
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon, about
| four o'clock, Messrs. John S. Rich
ardson, Levin Wroten ard Darcy
Davis were suddenly precipitated to
the ground, by the giving away of
| the scaffolGing upon which they
! were working Mr.. Richardson sus-
tanned injuries which, it is believed,
will prevent him from working for
sometime, but the other men were
more fortunate, and, beyond s.
slight shaking UP, were not injured
at all.
Fortunately for them, the scat
fold upon which they were working
was only about twelve feet high,
so that the fall was not so danger
Gus as it might have been, had they
been working on higher portion
Of the building.
Work on the building and equip
ment at the Fair grounds is pro-
ceed;ng spIendidly, and there is no
doubt of the fact that everything
Will be in complete readiness upon
the opening date of the Fair. From
the contracts already made, land the
nun arous inquiries concerning OK
hibits, there seems little, if any,
doubt Of the Fair being complete
success in every respect. Ths1I
can, so far as orc can see, be
one drawback, and this would
bad weather, and it is not believe
that even this could prevent large
crowd from attending upon the
clear days. AT any rate, the Off
Gals are not taking bad weather
into their calculations, but are
making their plans to give the pub
lie the greatest Fair ever held en-
the Eastern Shore.
