CAR BACKS DOWN
HILLAND TURNS OVER

A Ford touring car containing two
men and two women, turned over on
Locust street Sunday afternoon spill
ing the occupants on the ground but
no one was injured.
The car was driven by it's owner
Worsey Youngs Of Plainfeld and was
near the top Of the hill just going on
to Second street when the key in one
Of the rear wheels sheard off.
The car commenced to back down
the hill, despite all the efforts Of the
driver to check it. It finally backed
off the street against the side Of a
building, the rear wheel climbing over
some lumber and tipping the car ov-
err.
Spectators ran to the assistance
Of the occupants Of the car, but were
delighted to find that no one had been
injured. The wind shield Of the car
was smashed.

able public service.

There is not a we'll informed man
in the United States today who
doesn't know that the troops are
kept on the border, not to protect
American rights, but to protect Mr..
Wilson's presidential campaign. The
state militia has been drafted as an
auxiliary to the Democratic cam
paign committee.
It is high time for the whole hyp-
ocritical scheme to be exposed. Even
taking the presidents own declara-
ton as a basis, the absurdity of his
contention cries to heaven.
He says that unfortunately the
emergency which called them to the
front still exists" Of course it still
exists. 1t will "still exist" till after
the 7th of November But if we
should understand, however, as Mr..
Wilson evidently desires, that the
danger of Mexican outrages is as
great as ever, we have a right to
ask what has been done, and what
the president intends to do, to end
this danger.
The troops are not chasing ban
dts. They are not pursuing Villa.
They are not restoring order in
Northern Mexico. They are doing
nothing whatever to terminate exist
ing conditions.
The Mexican commission has been
sitting nearly two months, and so
far as the public is advised, not one
single step of progress has been
made.
All this is costing the country at
the rate of about fifteen million dol
| lars week.
Governor Philip would not be
true to the interests of his own state
if he did not protest against such an
outrage on the soldier boys of Wis
consin. He has a right to remind
the president that these boys enlist
ed to serve the country and not to
act as supers for Democratic cam
lpaign. It is a fraud on the state
and an outrage on the soldiers to
keep them away from their homes
and their private business simply to
further the personal ambitions of q
bunch of politicians.-Wa usau-Record

BOVLERS
HAVEG()OD
Meeting
Plan Three Leagues and Adopt Rules
of Play. Rexalls Clean Up En-
pires in Practice Games.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Plans for the organization Of three
leagues and the adoption of rules of
play were the main things accomplish
ed last evening at the meeting of the
bowlers held at the west side allies.
President Earl NJ. Hill called the
meeting to order. There was a large
number of the bowlers present.
1t was planned to have three lea
CUES, known as No. L, No. 2, and No.
8, leagues. The No. 1 league will be
made up Of players who have an av-
erage of 80 or more pins a game
No. 2 will be made up Of players hav-
ing an average of from 40 to 100
pins a game and No 8 league will be
made up of players having an aver
age under 40 pins game.
A rule that will be observed strict
ly is that there will be no postpone
ment of games. On the evening on
which game is scheduled, the teams
must have three players ready to play
or the game will be forfeited. With
three or four players present, the av-
erage Of the absent members or mem
Der will be allowed to go in less 10
pins.
Each league will have a president
It was also decided to use both the
old and new alleys in the games as it
will be necessary for the players to
roll on them when the tournament is
held next March.
All games are scheduled to start at
8 o'clock but 20 minutes grace will be
allowed each team in which to prepare
or the game will be forfeited.
Six men are allowed on a team.
It is planned to start the league
games on Monday evening, October
%. In the mean time schedules will
be worked out.
The meeting was followed by clash
between the Rexalls and team made
up Of players from the Empire team
assisted by Bill GIeue and Joe Bissig.
Bissig, Bodette and Zimmerman
paid no attention to the European war
and rolled scores of over 200 which
are shown in the box score of the
game.
The other men did not roll up to
heir best and it is said that it was "be-
cause of the war"
The Recalls took the first two games
and then Billy Bodette broke away
from the war scare long enough to
roll 223 and thus helped his team
mates to win the final spasm.

District Attorney John Roberts for
the arrest Of Claude Rice and Bert
Cummings.
Rice is charged with having broken
into a freight car and Cummings was
arrested as being implicated in the
matter.
Rice was arrested Sunday in Shaw
emo. Sheriff Bluett has gone to that
city to bring him here. Cummings was
arrested in MarshfeId and will be brot
here today by Undersheriff Orvil Car
lin.
Working in connection with c. &
n. w. special agent, officers Payne
and Berg located the spot where the
stolen goods were stored.
Saturday afternoon, a search war
rant was issued and Chief of Police
Gibson and the c. & n. W. agent
went to the barn on the jim Love place
and found quite a lot of the stolen
property, which had been hidden there
by Rice.
The fact that it was always a mer-
chandise car that was opened, led the
local officers to the conclusion that
the robberies had been committed by
men familiar with railroad affairs.
Both Rice and Cummings have been
railroad men.
The office Of the district attorney
this morning looked like a first class
pawn brokers' place of business. The
private Office of Mr.. Roberts was lit
tered with cartridge boxes, fishing rods
reels, hunting boots, gloves and mis-
cellaneous collection Of other articles

NAUSAU Wins
FROM RAPIDS
IS 10 0
Second Teams Unable to Score and
Game Results in Tie.

Had the foot ball game at Wausau
Saturday been played on Friday there
might have been some better reason
for the defeat of the Rapids team by
that particular score of 10 to @, as
Friday was the 18th.
However, the Rapids team put up a
good fight on a strange field. Not that
a strange field is any excuse, for if
there is any game in the world in
which the contestants must give and
take, it is in football
Two touchdowns and a goal show
how hard the Rapids team fought to
keep the big Wausau- team from roll
ing up a larger score.
The game between the second teams
was pitched battle between teams of
about equal strength which is shown
by the fact that neither side scored.

Changing Seasons Bring Colds


"Stuffed-up head" clogged-up nose,
tight chest, sore throat are sure signs
of cold, and DR.. Kings New Discovery
is sure relief. A dose of this combin-
alton of antiseptic balsams soothes
the irritated membrane, clears the
head, loosens the phlegm, you breathe
easier and realize your cold is broken
up. Treat cold persistently; half
way measures leave lingering cough.
Take DR.. Kings New Discovery until
your cold is gone. For AZ years the
favorite remedy for young and old. At

An Apology

Two years ago we favored the cleo
ton of VIM. T. Mobiles, for County
Clerk as against Fred Eberhardt, who
was seeking a Fourth term. We did
so then because we are opposed to the
third and fourth terms for any candi-
date as a general rule. Mr.. Mobiles
was a home boy and we thought he
possessed the qualifications and traits
of character that would develope into
a good county clerk. After two years
experience we are sorry to admit that
he has been the poorest County Clerk
that has ever held that office in the
history OF the county Most of the time
he has been unfit to perform the du-
ties of the office and his deputy has
really done most all the work. He
has been in his office only part of the
time and when there the deputy has
been obliged to do most of the work
Except where it required his personal
signature. Everybody who is in any
way familiar with his office knows
these facts, He was re-nominated by
his party, but we don't believe they
have any idea he can be reelected
If he had served the County efficiently
and attended to the duties of the office
with credit to himself and his party,
they would have some interest in his
reelection. When we favored him
for that office, we believed that he
possessed the essentials for the max
ing of a good clerk. Now that we
know the real facts we want to apollo
gize to our readers and let them know
the truth. To give him another two
years would be dangerous for the
county as well as for himself. We
want our readers to know that we
made mistake in our Judgment, but
don't want to repeat it knowingly.
II you will take the pains to investi-
gate his record you will know the
truth as we have found it. Investi-
gate him.

Paul Husting Sustains the Admins
tratiOn.

tratlOn.
Days theatre building was well
filled Wednesday night to hear the
Junior Senator, Paul o. Husting, talk
on the National and State issues. The
meeting was called to order by w. H.
Reeves at $3.50 and he presented A.
J. Crowns to the audience, who in turn
introduced Mr.. Husting, after making
q few appropriate preliminary re-
marks.
Mr.. Husting is not an eloquent ora
tor but an interesting talker. He sup
ported and defended President Wilson
in his administration of National af-
fairs and did so ably and we'll. He
reviewed the interesting events of the
Presidents administration and point
ed out in detail the trials and perplex-
ing questions that came up one after
another for the President to decide
He reviewed the trials the President
had in keeping the United States out
of the European war and war with
Mexico and lauded the President for
keeping this country out of trouble
Before closing he took up State
matters and urged the support of Burt
Williams and Wolfe of La Crosse fo1
u. S. Senator. His address was a good
Democratic address with the best side
put forward. He was not harsh a,
gainst his opponents excepting Roose-
welt whom he made to appear ridicu
lous in his vacilating disposition. The
address was a good one.
