ner, | turned and looked back
ward often.
In going to the cemetery l had
seen an old gentleman standing in
front Of his house; his age had at
tracted me and l had inquired of
him his name. 1t was one foreign
to the kens of those in my day, he
was a new conner though he spoke
of himself as an "Old Settler,' -
yes in way, for he settled in the
village in 1860. Mr.. Stahl is
foreign born in the sense of Ameri-
canism for he is German born in
the old Vaterland.
He is good American citizen,
a gentleman of the old school and
socially entertaining.
All this l learned in a long visit
with him within his house.
His house is next to the site of
the old esquire Bell' home.
That name sounded good to me
for | can remember the gentleman
who represented the might of
civil law under the seal Of the ter
ritory of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Stahl's long residence upon
the island enabled him to inform
me of much that served to link my
present with my past upon the
island.
He told me that all the old
buildings were no more save one;
this one is the little Presbyterian
chapel which stood by the lake
shore but which has been moved
to the cold Mission" grounds to
be a fitting adjunct to the Old
Missions first cemetery. Then
the hour came in which / was to
meet my boatman at the post
office.
Mr.. Stahl told me of the decis
ION of the Bayfield, priest to have
much done next spring towards
identifying the old cemetery.
Promising Mr.. Stahl a little
pecuniary aid as soon as he in.
formed me the work had oeen be-
gun, babe him farewell and left
for the post office. A lady is the
postmistress and she also runs a
little store.
My man was not on hand. Not
knowing his name l described his
physique and learned that his
name was Russell.
Well, Mr.. Russell is some
'rustler'' and had gone to Ash
land but had left word that he
would be back at four o'clock.
Promptness was necessary to

Death Of C. A. Congdon'
Duluth millionaire, Former Legislator,
Passes Away At St. Paul Hotel.

Chester A. Congdon of Duluth
member for Minnesota of the re-
publican national committee, died
early today at his apartments IN
the Saint Paul Hotel, where he
had been i'll since Nov. 8. Worry
over the outcome of the presiden-
tial election is believed by friends
to have contributed to his death.
He had an attack of indigestion
first and form of pleurisy de-
veloped. A large blood clot formed
on the lungs, and the work of
throwing it off proved too great a
strain on the heart. After sever
al days of progress toward re-
covery his heart weakened yester-
day and he sank rapidly until the
end.
MIR. Congdon was a man of large
wealth made through fortunate
iron mining investments, and it
was declared that his estate may
rival or even exceed that of the
late James j. Hill. In any event
it will be subject to large in
heritance tax under a law which
as a member of the legislature Mr..
Congdon helped to draft and pass.
His philanthropies were known to
be large though never heralded in
a public way.
Mr.. Congdon was a man of pro-
gressive tendencies in political
life, which gained him the nick
name in Duluth several years ago
the millionaire anarchist. -
He served in the Minnesota leg
islature in 1909 and 1911, bu: de-
clined another term because ne
found that the usefulness of the
Duluth members was curtailed by
the necessity of fighting adverse
legislation against the mining in
terests. Though often credited
with high political ambitions, he
never had been a candidate for
any other elective Office.
Mr.. Congdon was married in
1881 at Syracuse, N. Y, to Miss
Clara Hesperia Bannister, and Mrs.
Congdon and six children survive.
They we're summoned to St. Paul
several days ago when the serious
character of Mr.. Congdon's ILL
ness was discovered. All we're
with him at the end.-Ex.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-11-18

FRIEND COCHRAN have read
your notice to The Day Book readers
with reference to the increase of
price for The Day Book from 1 to 2
cents. Z agree with you that this is
the only thing that can be done in
order to maintain paper that will
give the truth to its readers.
However, under the present high
cost of living, fear that some Of
your readers may, against their will,
discontinue reading The Day Book
so they may save about $500 a year.
Being a regular reader of your valu-
able paper, and realizing the import
ance of such a paper to the working
class and even to the small business
man, 1 have decided to help to keep
I'D this paper Of truth, especially for
the sake Of the union men, for whose
interest you are the first ready to
fight. Here is my proposition: If
any reader of The Day Book feels
that he or she can not continue to
read The Day Book on account of
the increase, let them come in my
store and buy anything he or she
needs in my line and for a purchase

Col. Roosevelt living among US. II
Mr.. Roosevelt gets a position it must
be to rule, and Mayor Thompson
knows this, and, this being the case,
he will dictate to Mayor Thompson.
Now let us. be frank, and trust
Mayor Thompson gets copy Of this.
If he is not capable of holding down
the Office of mayor himself it is time
for him to get out, and I am sure this
expresses public sentiment.
We want to elect a chief of police.
We elect a clerk of court, although
there is a judge there.
There are men now on the force
who have far better qualifications
and are more familiar with the pres
ent circumstances than either Pres
ent Chief of Police Healey, whom the
mayor has appointed, or Col. Roose-
welt, and 1 trust at the next election
of mayor we will have the privilege
of electing a chief of pOhce.-R. E.

for newspapers - but I remember
when did not think anything of
paying five cents a copy for a daily

ness to be a newsboy then, let me
tell you.
How can neWsbOys make anything

can't make enough to buy shoes, let
alone all other necessary things to
live. I repeat, 1 will cheerfuIly pay

THE PEOPLES PRIVILEGE
I notice your article, How Would
You Like to See Col Roosevelt Chief
of Police of Chicago?" under date of
Nov. Is, and l shall endeaVor to open
the eyes Of the people and all con-
cerned.
Why should Mayor VIM. H.
Thompson, or, for that matter, any
mayor of Chicago, have privilege
of selecting the chief of police? Has
VIM. H. Thompson given up hope
that there are men in Chicago who
can qualify for that position? If so,
then it is for the people to act. They
will find one.
The Office of chief of police is as
responsible, or, in fact, more so than
any other, for the welfare of all the
people Why is it not an Office that
the people can elect?
Perhaps at the election the mayor
will be of a different political faction
than that of the chief of police and
this is what is necessary and will
prove more of an asset to the public.
And this has already been proven
during the past few weeks.
The United States government
does not permit a foreigner to run for
president or vice president or for any
other Office unless he has resided in
this country a certain length of time.
This must also apply with our city
government. Why shall we allow
Mayor Thompson to choose a man
out of our district when there ARE
men who qualify just as much as

AT CLEVELAND; UNIQUE CHARACTER

Isessing, well educated, well behaved
young man who settles in a new
country, Judson JONI, as he invari-
ably spelled his name, gave up all
chance for fortune, spent every cent
he earned and lived literally for a
time on crackers and milk that he
might advance the cause of simpli-

find its only permanent reminder in
the surprising inscription on the
surviving top of his gravestone.
The stone stands in a little plot
of ground on the shores of Lake JEFF
ferson, a fishing resort near Cleve-
land, Mimi. The only other graves
there are of his wife and son, "Febi
and Will JONI" The burial ground
was practically all left when Mr. JONI
died of his once large holdings in
that vicinity.

than sixty years. He was a lawyer,
