SENATOR LAFOLLETTE
ADDRESSES AUDIENCE
Crowd Of About 800 Hears ''BOb''
At Hyde Hall.
Larger Part of Address Devoted to
Review Of Early Political Career.
To PlatteVille In Evening.

Senator LaFOllette who was first
scheduled to address a Lancaster aud
fence on Thursday evening of last
week, changed his plans to accommo-
date the people in charge of the Gov
ernOr Glenn address, and spoke Fri
day afternoon. Owing to the opera
/ house and the rink being engaged for
the day, the Senator used Hyde hall
as his auditorium. AS the hall was too
small to seat the crowd that first as
sembled and also so cold that part of
the audience left before the somewhat
lengthy address was completed, the
Senator labored under disadvantage
in presenting his case.
Senator LaFoIlette devoted the first
fifteen minutes Of his talk to defense
of his present campaign and an at
tack on the Milwaukee Sentinel and
its press representative. He then
plunged into a review Of the political
history of Wisconsin twenty-five years
ago and spoke of his efforts in forcing
the railroads to hand over" their back
taxes amounting to $1,800,000 He
then reviewed the period of university
ideals under President Bascomb and
the causes leading up to his entering
upon political career. After dis
cussiOn of about two hours during
which he reviewed the history of rate
regulation, the senator devoted the lat
ter part of his talk to an attack on
the present administration and the
method in which the various state de-
partments are being handled. He i'll
ustrated by means of charts how the
state expenditures are made and how
in his opinion the tax levies have been
reduced.
Senator LaFollette and his party
went to Platteville after the close OF
his address here and spoke to another
audience there in the evening. While
the larger part of his address here
was devoted to resume of the state
affairs when he was active in local pol
itical life, his talk devoted to present
conditions showed plainly how much
out Of touch he has become with is
sues as they now stand in Wisconsin.
He divulged what he cOnsiGe~ ed a
startling disclosure in stating that the
reduction in taxes this year was due
to the changes in the road law which
reduced the amount Of state aid for
road purposes and consequently added
to the reduction in taxe3-a fact al
ready quite clearly understood by his
audience. He was plainly worn and
tired and this together with his unfa-
miliarity with the subject under dis
cuSS;On hamDe4 ed the effectiveness of
his address.

INTO THE PRIMITIVE.

Wolves! Would you believe that in
the year 1915, several packs of these
ancient enemies of the farmer, are
abroad nightly and right in our own
Grant county? According to Dustin
Pierce, there are three pairs of these
beasts which have their habitat near
Lancaster and nightly prowl over the
surrounding territory for many miles.
One farmer near Grant river, has lost
IL head of goats during the night, find
ing them with their threats cut the
next day. Traps are seemingly of no
avail except to catch an innocent bun
ny cottontail. Our Sitter correspond
ent last week told an interesting story
of the capture of a wolf by some Mil
waukee hunters, and while his story
was scoffed at by some, the proofs, in
dictate that wolves are abroad nightly
and doing great damage to stock. In
the meantime there is bounty of $40
for each scalp sent to the county clerk

w. ]. Bailie, president of the Grant
County Agricultural society, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from the secretary of
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
association giving in detail plan
which will make an interesting feature
of next years exhibition. The plan as
outlined is as follows:
Object-To develop the beef cattle
industry and to interest farm boys in
the breeding, selecting, feeding and
exhibiting beef cattle.
To provide a new educational fea-
ture for Wisconsin fairs.
Date-This contest will begin March
l, 1915.
Plan-To bring this contest to the
notice of boys and other interested
persons, publicly in the agricultural,
daily and weekly press will be begun
at once. Commercial clubs, bankers,
business men, county superintendent,
and county representatives will be in
formed and their support gained. The
agricultural and daily press have al
ready pledged their assistance. While
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
association is willing to become res
ponsible for the publicity campaign,
it realizes that the fair association,
through it's secretary, must aid mater
tally if the contest is to succeed.
In order to properly supervise the
work, this contest will be confined to
southern Wisconsin counties during
1916. Local baby beef contests will
be held among boys under Is years OF
age The calves which they have fed
will be assembled and judged at the
1916 Grant county fair. Cash prizes
will be offered by the county fair
board as follows:

THE REVIVAL WAVE.

The third week of the revival is over.
Weather conditions have become more
favorable, roads are better and the re-
suit is that increased audiences are
in attendance. The afternoon meetings
on Sunday were well attended at the
rink.
DR.. Toy spoke to men only on the
subject, Selling Out Cheap" He
laid emphasis on the fact that men
are selling their lives for the lower
values and are receiving nothing in
return in the way of permanent value.
Esau sold his birthright for a mess OF
pottage, and this is being duplicated
over and over again to-day. However
men to-day are not even receiving a
good square meal as a result OF delib-
crate sin. DR.. Toy closed with an APP
peal to men to yield their lives to
Christ as their loftiest ideal. One
man responded to the invitation.
In the Congregational church a
meeting for ladies' only was conducted
by Mr.. Potts. The church was crowd
ed. 1t being necessary to carry in
chairs to accommodate all. Mr.. Potts
is very popular and his genial, kindly
manner is winning for him host of
friends.
At the M. E. church Miss Goble had
charge of a young peoples meeting.
Several gave their lives to Christ at
this service.
The largest crowd of the campaign
assembled at the rink in the evening,
crowding the room to the very doors.
There was standing room only. The
sunbeam chorus, composed OF fifty
children, brought cheer and brightness
into the service by their hearty and
enthusiastic singing under the direc-
ton of Prof. BalmOnd They sang al
so on Saturday evening when they
were vigorously applauded.
DR.. Toy spoke Sunday evening from
the subject, 1.-The Family Roll Call"
1t was a stirring appeal to parents to
use their influence in bringing their
children into an acceptance of Christ,
so that when the end shall come there
shall be united family in eternity.
Prof Balmond sang with much feel
ing, ''Will the Circle Be Unbroken. .
When the invitation was given about
twenty, largely young people, respond
ed.
This will probably be the last week
of the meeting and it is more than
likely that the campaign will close
next Sunday evening.

PARENTS ENJOY Their
EVENING At SCHOOL
Big Auditorium Nearly Filled
Last Wednesday Night.
Program Of Slides and Pictures Excel
Teaching Problem Discuss
ed-Future Gatherings.

The first evening of the series of
gathering of fathers and mothers at
the high school was a decidedly pleas
ant and interesting one and also quite
well attended. The seats in the audit
orium were nearly all filled and though
the pleasant sensation of being at
school again was somewhat rudely dis
PEELED when some of the heavier OF us
endeavored to get into seats made for
folks of about half our avOirdupOis,
all made the best of it and thoroughly
enioyed the fine program arranged for
the evening.
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Gay showed a
series of slides used in lantern work
to illustrate the harmony Of animal,
bird and insect life with nature. Fol
lowing the slides came two sets OF
movies" the first being film called
''The Dance of the Fairies" and the
second, Japanese Butterflies"
Following the pictures Professor
Adams talked on the relation existing
between the parents and the teachers
and how they might cooperate in help
ing the child in and out of school Mr..
Adams asked the aid of the parents
in getting the best results for the
child and hoped that a continued in
terest would be displayed in the gath
erings. The meetings will be held
each Wednesday at the high school
and continue for several months as
the university extension which is fur
nishing the slides and films has a
change of program each week for
twenty-five weeks. From now on an
admission charge of ten cents will be
made, the proceeds to go toward pay
ing for the machine and curtain.
DR.. J. H. Fowler made short inn
promptu address on the subject OF the
school boards relation to the public
and what the board was trying to do
toward perfecting the school plant.
After the formal program was finish
ed a very pleasant half hour was spent
in fraternizing and general conversa-
ton followed by a luncheon served
by the woman's club in the north rec
itation room.
The meetings as stated, will be held
weekly and all parents are urged to
come and help make them success.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
HEARS LIGHTING CASES
City and Company Put Matter
Up to Arbitrator.
Plans Call fer 1876 Street Lights
not Agree On Charges -Will Be
Settled Soon.

w. C. Daumling and Harold Eek
hardt, representatives of the railroad
commission, were in Lancaster Thurs
day morning taking the evidence of
both parties in the dispute which has
been going on between the city and
the Lancaster Light and Power Com
pany over the renewal of the street
lighting contract AS no arrangement
could be reached the matter was put
up to the commission by mutual agree
ment.
The present lighting contract which
involves the lights at the two parks
and the thirty-seven street lights, eX-
pired last June a year ago following
which the city asked the company to
prepare an estimate covering the pres
ent system and enough additional
lamps to put a light at the corner of
every block in the entire city. This
would involve a total of 1876 Mazda
street lamps at candle powers varying
from 100 to $50 and the changing of
all the present arcs to the new sys-
tenn. At present the city pays the COM
pany about $4,000 yearly.
The company offers to make the nee
essary additions to their plant and
furnish the facilities complete in con-
sideration Of the sum of SO, 480 year,
at two per cent discount on monthly
payments, the contracts to run five
years. The city objected to the amount
as being too high and offered an estim-
ate made by James Cravath of Chicago,
an electrical engineer, of about $4,000
yearly or $3.50 for the street lights
and 1926 for the park lights. The COM
pany refused to accept this offer or
a later one of $4,000. The company's
estimate does not include the park
lighting which will be about $500 eX-
ira.
After hearing the evidence offered by
both sides the commission representa-
tives departed on the noon train to
present the matter to the commission
at Madison. The ultimate decision will
probably be forwarded in the near flu
ture after the entire matter has been
gone into by the commissions engin-

GASOLINE WARNING.
State Fire Marshal Department,
Madison. Wisconsin.


Put two gallons of gasoline and two
ounces Of solvite in a wash boiler or
large dishpan and do your dry cleaning
at home" is the vicious advice of man
ufacturers of sOlvite, a gasoline soap,
according to their advertisements in
the daily papers.
Fire Chief Clancy of Milwaukee very
properly calls this IAN appeal to the
people to end their own lives"
For the sake Of a few paltry dollars
realized from the sale Of sOlVite these
manufacturers ask US to introduce in
to every home an invisible, silent, GER
tain and most powerful force of death
and destruction, GASOLINE VAPOR.
Every mother would object to the
presence of dynamite in the home
housing those dear to her, but often
she will use gasoline as freely and
carelessly as water, although gasoline
is far more dangerous than dynamite.
Conclusions and like circumstances
only will explode dynamite. Numer-
Gus conditions, however, are always
present in every home to explode gaso-
line vapors.
Fifteen to twenty horrible deaths
and many serious injuries and heavy
loss to property result each year from
gasoline explosions in this state.
Ignorant of the danger the good
house wife will spray bedroom furni-
ture and bedding with gasoline to ex-
terminate vermin, or she will pour it
into an open dish to clean gloves or
fabrics. The gasoline evaporates very
rapidly, the vapOr mixes with the air,
and this mixture is a powerful eXplos-
i've
A lighted match, an open light, the
flame of a gas stove or of an ordinary
stove, a gas jet or the slightest spark
from any source will explode this pow
erful, death-dealing mixture; even
friction resulting from rubbing fabrics,
especially silk or wool, will explode
often this vapor
Over against the dollars gained by
the solvite people and the ten or fif-
teen cents saved by you in cleaning
pair of gloves or your husbands neck
tie, we ask you to place the safety
of your children and your home; then
you will shun gasoline, benzine and
naptha.
Remember also that the promiscu-
Gus storage and use of gasoline invai-
idates the insurance policy on your
home and and household goods.

Marshal.
