Stranger than any fiction is the de-
movement of the case of Fabian
Streiff, a native of New Glarus who
wandered away from home thirty
years ago and left no trace behind.
Streiff, as has been told before, went to
work for a farmer named Reedy of
Albany, I'll. He was turned adrift af-
ter years Of service having never re-
ceived more than his board and cloth
ing Streiff came back to New Glarus
on his second wandering, and for
awhile his former friends and relatives
refused to credit his story or to re-
ceive him. Later being convinced of
the truth they became indignant at
the farmer who had treated Streiff so
shabbily, and with their assistance, he
started suit for $4,000 against Reedy.
The matter was finally settled out Of
court, Streiff receiving $3,625.

break was only twelve feet wide when
it occurred, but the force Of the waters

Four ropes were used by Prairie du
Chen fishermen to secure an enOr-
nous female sturgeon that had been
ensnared in a trammel net by Charles
and Eugene Hurts. The men fastened
the fish to the rocks near the shore
and lett her lie for a day until her
strength had been threshed out. The
fish weighed 125 pounds and on dress
ing yielded 10 pounds of eggs. The
roe brought a dollar pound and the
dressed fish $6.25, the fishermen re
ceiving $25.25. This amount is but
trifle compared to what the fish will
ultimately bring on the New York
market where sturgeon steaks" and

Sixth District Congressional Convention
Resolutions

We, the republicans of the Sixth,
Congressional district of Kansas, in
convention assembled take pleasure
in this opportunity TO renew and re-
affirm our faith in the Republican
party and its ability TO guide and
direct the progress and development
of this great nation in the light of
safe and established theoriesaof gov
eminent and into the paths Of peace
and general prosperity
For more than half a century the
leaders of the Republican party have
been renowned the world over for
their prudence and great wisdom in
etatecraft. and their far seeing policy
in dealing fairly and honorably with
ali nations of the world brought to
our country the fullest measure of
confidence and respect. By fair and
impartial treatment of the great
nations at war, we should find no
necessity for extraordinary prepare.
tions for war which are being so
forcibly urged by interested speculat-
ors, by'jingo alarmists, and by misguid-
ed people who have fallen under the
influence of selfish interests that
would weigh their dollars against
human blood. The terrible slaughter
of human life daily taking place in
Europe is a crime against this civil
iZation and an arrangement of human
wisdom, and the safest way for the
United States TO avoid becoming en-
broiled therein is to deal fairly and
ion involved.
Once more the nation has been
brought to fully realize that the
principles of a protective tariff are
sound and necessary for the proper
progress and development of the nat
ion and for its financial welfare and
independence foreign capital For
this country deliberately and wilfully
to deliver over to foreign countries
our home markets is to give away
that for which the European nations
are now contending in bloody war.
We indorse the efficient and econ
omical administration of the states
business by the present republican
officials and will continue to support
them in every effort TO keep the tax
levy consistent with the actual and
necessary needs of the state. We
especially commend the wise and pat
Tiotic efforts of Governor Arthur Cap
per in National as we'll as state affairs,
and we pledge him the support of the
republicans of the Sixth District for
reelection.
We indorse the patriotic stand
taken by Hon. Charles Curtis, Hon.
d. r. Anthony and Hon. Phillip Pitt
Campbell republican congressman
from Kansas, and especially do we in
dorse the vigorous fight being waged
by Senator Chas. Curtis against the
sisal trust which has recently corner
ed the product of the country and
plans TO double the price of binding
Irvine TO the farmers of the United
States.
We believe that the contest within
the republican party over certain
principles has been beneficial to the
party as whole. Many things con-
tended for by both factions have been
recognized to be of essential worth in
the guidance and uplift of an intell-
igent people. The contentious and
debates have brought the truth
