MANY ENJOY SHOW
MINSTREL PERFORMANCE WILL

1t is estimated that more than 200

minstrel performance which was
given last night in the auditorium of
the State Normal school.
High tribute was paid by the audi
ence to Miss Emily Selwyn and IL.

Hugh Simpson, H. Wheeler and Bert

was given by Victor futile. Walter
Kundert, Myron and Horace Mease.
Gladys Geldmather, Alice Craney.
Lacile Hackett, Esther Holcomb,

number. Hugh Simpson gave a Bit

COAL SITUATION
HARD COAL is SCARCE AND SOFT
COAL is HIGH IN PRICE.

Old Mother Nature is doing her
share to counterbalance the coal and
car shortage of the middle west.
Fuel dealers and others who keep in
close touch with current events say
that comparatively few people realize
the magnitude of the boon moderate
weather has been to this section of
the country.
1t is next to impossible today TO
purchase coal from the wholesalers.
One Madison dealer has just returned
from Minneapolis, where he offered
a premium of 81 a ton above the
present high price that is asked for
anthracite, and was unable to get an
order of four ears filled until he con
scented to purchase five carloads of
soft coal.
The Madison retailer told that
while in the office of the wholesaler
a number of dispatches, containing
rush orders for coal, were shown to
him. He said that the replies bore
the simple words, Cannot fill or
ders."
Other dealers said there is no inn
mediate danger of Madison citizens
going without coal. They declared
however, that there is bound to be
suffering in places farther west,
where dealers had not laid in supply
while there was yet time.
While the shortage of soft Goa is
not so pronounced as is that of hard
coal, the former fuel has gone up in
sympathy with the latter. Many per-
sons who have furnaces or stoves
which will burn either anthracite or
bituminous are buying the cheaper
fuel. The resulting increased de-
mand for soft coal, as well as a car
shortage, are given as reasons for the
advance in the price of soft coal.
Hard coal is retailed here for $13 a
ton, with so cents off for cash. Some
surrounding towns are entirely out OF
hard coal.

NORMAL Wins
LOCAL TEAM WALKS AWAY
FROM COLUMBUS COLLEGE
FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

Before a large crowd, the State
Normal school football team defeated
the Columbus college eleven by the
one-sided score of 81 TO z. That the
visitors COTS its touchdown and goal
was due almost wholly to the SUI
perior playing of McAvery, who shone
above the remainder of his team.
1t was almost a foregone cpnclu-
sion that the strong Normal squad
would be victorious. Effort was
made by the locals to get a Thanks
giving contest with a stronger aggre-
cation. Many followers of the grid
iron sport were anxious to see the
Madison men and the Northern Nor
NAL, of Aberdeen, clash. The North
ern Normal defeated the M~adisonians

clared was a game in which an Off

Pierre, Dec. 1.-Something has

There was an effort to divide that

This action will probably be tried
again at the next session, as will also

vides him with an excellent alibi in

Another deep, dark plot to embar-
rass the administration has been dis
covered by Secretary OF War Baker
Enemies of the President have ar
ranged "a bandit attack upon Ameri-
can troops in Mexico or on an Ameri-
can border town to take place be-
tween now and election day to ere

tons Mexican policy"
No administration during the his
tory of the republic was ever so beset
as this with INSCRIPTIONS plotters.
There has been no limit but the blue
sky. More than thirteen hundred per-
sons, including many Americans, sail
ed on the Lusitania after repeated
warnings not TO do SO and got them

WORDS AND DEEDS

The Democratic party is doing its
level best to secure support from the
former Progressives. But it is using
words alone for the purpose. The Re-
publican party, also, is DESTROYS OF
bringing back into the organization
those who went out from us four
years ago. And we are employing
deeds instead of words to demon
strate the welcome which these home
corners are to have.
The Democrats do not even admit
the ProgIessives to membership or
their calnTaign committee. The Pro-
gressives who are helping Wilson
of cially arc made to flock by them
selVes-wnereas, Messrs. Perkins
Colby, Iekes and the others who are
at Hughes headquarters, east and
west, are part and parcel of the Re-
publican organization, with duties,
responsibilities and powers.
So, too, in the states. Campaign
committees which are furthering the
Republican cause are made up of Re-
publicans and former Progressives on
terms of complete equality. And the
tickets, in all parts of the country,
are likewise made up of both eIe-
ments-exactly as if this were 1908
and as if 1912 had never been.
For instance, in the state of Wash
ington, Miles P~oindexter, the only
man who eve sat in the United
States Senate as a designated Pro-
gressive, is the Republican nominee
for Senator this year.
In California, Hiram Johnson, Pro-
gressive governor of that state and
Roosevelt's companion on the nation
al ticket of the Progressive party in
1912, is now the Republican nominee
for United States Senator and was
given a free hand in making up the
Republican organization which is
carrying on the campaign in that
state.
The Republican candidate for gov
ernor of the state of Washington this
year is Henry Mcbride, who was
once governor there and who went
OFF in the Moose movement of four
years ago.
One of the Republican candidates
for Congressman-at-large in Illinois
is Medill Mccormick, who was among
the most strenuous of Roosevelt's
supporters four years ago.
The Fifth Washington COMPRESSION
al district presents Tom Cookery as
the Republican candidate. Two years
ago he was running for the same
place on the Moose ticket.
The Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Utah had prior experience
n running for that office on the Pro-
gressive ticket in 1912.
In New Hampshire the treasurer of
the Progressive state committee is
one of the Republican candidates for
presidential elector.
The lists could doubtless be con-
siderably heightened by a little re-
search-but we have enumerated
enough to show that in more ways
than n the Republican party is the
party of deeds and not of words.

The Democratic panegyrists of our
present prosperity" always make
comparisons of current prices for
farm products with those which pre-
vailed in 1912. They ought not TO
overlook the intervening years of
1913 and 1914, when Democratic pol
icies held undisputed sway unham-
pered by any of the conditions which
arise from the European war. They
point to ninety-cent wheat in 1912
and dollar-and-a-halr wheat now, but
they ought to add that the ninety-cent
wheat of 1912 was eighty-cent wheat
in 1913 and only sevepty-cent wheat
in 1914.

SHOULD SLOAN'S LINIMENT GO

OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the NOR
row. You should also use it for a
sudden attack of toothache, stiff neck,
accidents that are incidental to a va
cation. I'VE would as soon leave our
baggage as go on a vacation or camp
out without Sloan's Liniment," writes

erything from cramps to toothache."

The Chicago Building Trades coun
Gil consists of thirty-four trades, with

The resolution is based upon the
contention of the council hal the

that our several national organiza-

federal government through the war
department that alien, ignorant, un-
