date for governor, addressed large
crowd of people in the courthouse yard
Friday evening. Roethe told the story
of the three pairs of cowhide boots. He

mary election. The second pair would
be used in the campaign for general

thickest and toughest of all three pairs
will be worn when the candidate be-
comes Governor, and will be put to use
in forcibly ostracizing some of the
state employees who draw salaries but
do little work. Mr.. Roethe was ap-
plauded again and again by the
listeners.
Mr.. Roethe bases his campaign upon
the proposition that the annual ex-
penditures may be safely reduced
SIS, 900, 600 and pledges himself, if elect
ed governor, to veto every bill
"Fhat creates new Office, board or
commission.
"For an appropriation not absolute
ly needed.
"Making larger appropriations to the

Tree Doctor at Work

F. M. Fowler tree doctor, came to
Baraboo from Madison on Thursday to
operate on the Norway maple on the
lawn of II. L. Halsted. For some
time the tree has shown signs of in
ward decay and it was decided to call
an expert to see what could be done.
A number of missions were made IN
the trunk and limbs, the decayed wood
removed and the cavity filled with tar
and cement. A large nest of big black
ants were routed out of their home in
the process. The maple is the only one
of the kind in this whole region and is
worth saving. DR.. Fowler was at
work in Devils Lake State park before
he came to Baraboo.

CLAIMS DANCE MUSIC
INSPIRED HIS EFFORT
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
He Felt So Good That He
Thought It a Good Time To
Put On Finishing Touch.

Fulton. S. d. Sept. 21-''The music
told me to do it; 1 felt so good 1
thought 1 might as we'll die the as
any time"
This was the explanation given by
William Zeitschel, a Hanson county
young man. for an attempt he made on
his life by drinking a quantity of wood
alcohol. 1t is said he believed he was
drinking carbolic acid when he made
the attempt to end his own life.
The attempt was made during a
lance in Fulton, and all those present
saw him as he raised the bottle of
poison to his lips and drank the con-
tents. Prompt work Oh the part of
physicians saved his life. He is be-
lieved to be demented and a charge OF
insanity has been lodged against him.
1t is planned to send him to the state
hospital for the insane at Yankton,
where it is hoped a course of treat
ment will restore him to a normal men
tai condition.
Zeitschel is the owner of a homestead
in Wyoming and has a good deposit in
a Fulton bank.

OFFICERS INTERFERE WITH
PAIR OF BLENDED HEARTS

Alexandria. S. d, Sept. 21.-The love
affairs Of J. L. Chesser. who resides on
a Miner county farm. did not u
smoothly. Yesterday, 9 h~ard-hearted
sheriff stepped in and took Chesser
and his bride to be into custody as
they were trying to get married.
The girl in the case is the daughter
of a neighber to Chesser, and her par
ents objected to her marriage because
she has not yet reached a manageable
age, and for the further reason that
Chesser is about as years of age. o
some time he has been infatuated with
the girl.
Chesser appeared to have sufficient
influence over the girl to induce her to
leave her home and proceed with aim
to Howard, where they ~endeavored to
procure a license to marry. This was
refused them because the girl was I'M
der age and did not have her parents
consent, as is required by the state
law in such cases.
Chesser and the girl then went to
Hanson county, but the officers there
had been advised by the sheriff of
Miner county to be on the lookout for
the clippers. When arrested Chesser
had just been denied a marriage Ii
cense of the Hanson county clerk Of
courts on the same ground as such de-
NAL had been made in Miner county.
Chesser and the girl were taken back
to Miner county by the sheriff.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
is INFLUENCE BEHIND
CONTEST AT MITCHELL
Attempt TO Promote Commission
Plan Due to Fight Against
Present Officers.

Mitchell, s. D., Sept. 1e.-while there
has been little said On the outside about
the basic reasons for the agitation
started here for the commission form of
government, local citizens understand
quite well that the attempt of the pres
ent city officials to bring the Dakota
Central Telephone company to terms
is the principal element in the case. A
considerable amount OF feeling ;s being
injected into the contest.
On an untrammeled issue the ma
Jority of Mitchell citizens would be
strong for h commission plan, but
there are a large number who will
bulk on allowing his issue to be used
as a mere pretext to discredit the pres
ent city officials.
The Dakota Central Telephone COM
pany attempted to enforce a heavy
raise IN service rates here about the
same time that their franchise rights
expired. On ccoun of tho company's
attitude the citizens refuse TO vote
a new franchise and the officials or
dered h company TO remove its poles

and still is In court. The citizens of

Runors of German Retreat Not
Borne Out by Desperate Fighting

London, Sept. 22.-While the fortunes
Of battle fluctuate between the lines
along the center Of h extended front
in France, desperate efforts are being
made to execute turning movements
on both TANKS.
The Anglo-French left wing is ex-
erting every ounce of strength to turn
the flank of the German, General Won
Kluck. who is represented as having
received heavy achievements, while
the German left, according to a eau
tiously worded announcement in Ber-
lin, is making equally strenuous efforts
to out flank the French right resting
on Verdun.
Under ordinary weather conditions
the Anglo-French task would be easier
for the reason that Verdun, heavily
fortified, must be taken before the
ened. but on the German right the
heavy rains nave made such a morass
of the valley of the Disc that the allies
are hardly likely to move along what
would be their natural course until the
German front north of Sissons has
been driven back. The high ground be-
tween Noyon and Chauney has been
heavily fortified by General Won Kluck,
and it dominates the whole valley of
the Disc. That the Germans chose their
present defensive position deliberately
is indicated by the fact that their
liS1tSy diNiicly tcstS ia cement
lions.
So ne reports received in London de-
clare that the reason for the desperate
German attack on Rheims is found in
q movement of the allies which has
virtually isolated Rheims from Laon.

this is true. all of General Won Kluck,s
marvellous strategy in protecting his

mans are preparing a great retreat

There is n o victory as yet for either side in the battle of the
Aisne, which has now ragged in France for 10 days. Both sides claim
successes and favorable positions. The 10 days of desperate battle,
fierce artillery fire day and night, infantry charges in which the
fighting has been hand to hand, and cavalry enlaughts when OPP
portunity offered, have shown one result-the soldiers of the three
nations engaged are becoming exhausted. The human machine is

plane reconnaissance has given rise to the conviction that a large
portion of the German forces is retiring in the direction of fortified
positions on the German border.
Another factor, which has had a notable effect on the conduct
of the operations, has been the weather. An incessant cold rain has
flooded the valley of the Asne. The river has overfowed its banks,
roads and fields are heavy and trenches are filed with water. The
men are drenched to the skin day and night and French soldiers
coming to Paris from the front re encrusted with mud. Worn out
men are succumbing to the hardships Of fighting and living in the
open under such weather conditions.
The transportation Of all kinds, for both sides, is rendered much
more difficult. 1t is even said the Germans cannot longer move their
heavy artillery with effective promptness on account of heavy roads.
The men are camping in water and the French say the Germans are
