GOES BACK TO SING SING

A thousand miles from Sing Sing, a
thrill of satisfaction is felt in the ed1-
torial sanctum of the Minneapolis
Tribune when Thomas Mott Osborne
is at last officially reinstated as war
den of the New York State Prison.
The reading and thinking public is
not so engrossed in the European War
or Mexico, observes The Tribune, that
it. has lost sight of the political drive"
on Mr.. Osborne which was intended
to push him forever out OF public
life" The charges of mismanage-
ment, perjury, and immortality, as pre-
yiously recorded in these pages, haV-
ing been dismissed, Governor Whit
man restored him to his Office, which
elicits from the st. Louis Star the
remark that his return is a triumph
Of right and a defeat for wrong" with
the added result that the work OF re-
form in our penal institutions will go
on with new impetus" Nearer the
field of work where the "TOm Brown
Of Auburn and Sing Sing won ma
tional reputation, the Brooklyn Stand
ard Union tells us that his reappolnt-
ment may be regarded as the closing
chapter of one of the ugliest political
moves made in New York State in
years" He was set upon by the bl-
nartizan political ring of Westchester
County, this journal recalls, because
he declined to appoint men suggest
ed to him, because he ended graft at
the prison, and because he otherwise
interfered with practices in vogue at
the institution for years" He is
fully indicated" while his enemies
are "routed and discredited." The
Standard Union also thinks that 1t
would be difficult to frame a more
vicious" list of counts in blanket in
dictment than that returned last win
ter against Mr.. Osborne, but the pub
lie promptly realized that it was "po-
litica1 move," and kept it's faith in the
warden, and 'time has proved tho wis
com of that swift judgment" The
New York Evening Mail wonders
whether Governor Whitman will take
one further step and bring to justice
the authors of the plot.-Literary Di-
gest.

HEAD Of COM. CLUB
ONCE RUNAWAY BOY

T. Edwin Mead, president of the
Baraboo Commercial club, while in
Mankato, Mimi, recently, visited the
police station Of that city and there
met boy aged about fourteen years
who had been apprehended there by
the police as he was running away
from his home at Madelia. The meet
ing of the boy in that place reminded
Mr.. Mead Of his attempt at running
away from home when boy Of about
the came age as this one. The Man
kato Daily Free Press prints the &C
count as follows:
By a singular coincidence, a former
runaway boy and a runaway boy
confronted each other at the police
station this morning. The former
runaway boy is now the president
of the Commercial Association of
BaraboO, Wisconsin, T. Edwin Mead, a
prosperous business man, with a wife
and five children, and here in Mankato
looking around with view to possibly
locating here. The present runaway
boy is Harry VOight of Madelia. It is
further worthy of note that Harry
Voight is at the same age as was T.
Edwin Mead on that night in May,
number of years ago, memorable to
him, when as a fourteen-year-old boy,
he was taken off a train by Police
man Walter Daniels, and locked UP at
the central police station
Il have no ill-will toward the police
man." said Mr.. Mead emphaticaIly. "T

Mr.. Mead spoke of the wonderful
growth that Mankato had made in
the years he had been away.
When Mr.. Mead learned that Harry
Volght had run away on account of a
quarrel with his mother, he talked to
the lad about what he owed his mother
and the boy burst into tears.

PLEASANT WORDS
FROM SUBSCRIBER

1t is always gratifying to be compli-
mented, and it is especially pleasing
to the editor of a paper to receive
words of praise. He soon hears of
anything in the paper that does not
just suit some reader, but words of
commentator are not heard SO often.
The following letter was therefore re-
ceived at this Olive with more than
ordinary qualification:
II find my subscription to the Bara-
boo News is again due. Please find
enclosed $1.25, renewal for another

MA AND Her AUTO RIDE

Before we take an auto ride Pa says
to Ma, "My dear,

sistance from the rear.
If you will just keep still back there
and check in your fright,
I'll take you where you want to go and

And I can drice this car without sug.

But soon she notices ahead a peddler
and his cart.
YOU'D better foot your horn" says
she, ITO let him know we're near"
He might turn out" and Pa replies:
"Just Shrek at him, my dear"
And then he adds, Some day some
guy will make lot Of dough
BY putting horns on tonneau seats for
women folks to blow"
A little farther on Ma says: "He sig.

And Pa says, did he?" in tone
that's hot enough to burn.
ooh, there's boy on roller skates"
Ma cries, Nov do go slow;
I'm sure he doesn't see our car; an Pa
says: II dunno,
think I don't need glasses yet, but
really it may be
That am blind an cannot see what's
right in front of me-"
II Pa should speed the car a bit some
rigs to hurry past,
Ma says: Nov do be careful! You
are driving much too fast"
An all the time she's pointing out the
dangers Of the street,
An keeps him posted on the roads
where street cars he will meet.
Last night when we got safely home
Pa sighed and said: "My dear.
I'm sure we all enjoved the drive you

AUTOISTS MEET DEATH
UNDER ENGINES PILOT
Three Instantly Killed and Bodies
MangIed in Colorado-Fourth Men,
Der of Party Dying.

Loveland, Colo, Sept. 12.-Three per
sons are dead and fourth is dying
as the result of an automobile acct
dent. The automobile party Of four,
consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. James L..
Hedelson and Mrs. Clara Jones of Love
land and Mrs. Julia A. Tent of Eureka,
Kan, were returning from a mountain
trip. At the outskirts of the city Hedel-
son, driving the machine, attempted to
cross the Colorado and Southern rail-
road tracks ahead of southbound pas
senger train. The car was struck
squarely in the center. Mrs. Tent, IA
tally injured, was thrown to one side.
The other three, remaining in the auto
mobile, rolled over and over under the
engine pilot, were instantly killed and
their bodies mangled. Railroad en-
p1oyes worked desperately for over an
hour before the bodies were removed
from under the engine.

NOT LIKE NEW EXPERIENCE
the Franks INDUCED in by His
Frisky Horse.

The eccentricitieS of. Yankee char
acter are innumerable, and they are
almost always amusing. In a Maine
town a gentleman was standing with
some friends on his tennis lawn when
the horse of the village butcher-a
rather friSky animal-came dashing
madly over a terrace from the street,
flinging the unfortunate butcher into
the tennis net with a shoulder Of beef
on top of him, and big block of ice
thumped with a good deal OF force into
his side.
The fiery steed completed his work
by dragging the wagon to which he
was attached over his PROSTATE mas
ter and then flying away to demolish
it and the lawn turf together by
careening along until stopped by a
tree. The butcher was taken up in
sensible and pretty badly bruised. As
soon as he could be restored to con-
sciousness one of the bystanders pro-
nounced the usual conundrum whether
he was hurt.
The butcher tried to move, found
he could not, gave sickly smile, and
then said, jauntily:
ooh, it's nothingl don't mind. I'm
used to it."

GREECE READY TO ENTER WAR
WILL JOIN ALLIES WITHIN TEN
DAYS, BELIEF.
Settled Fact If Entente ENJOYS Do Not
Embroll Situation, Prominent
Official Says

Athens, via London, Sept IL. - ''If
the Allies and anti-Venizelist factions
can only keep quiet for 10 days and
not embroil the situation, Greece's en-
try into the war will be a settled
fact" said a prominent Greek official
to the Associated Press. If not" he
said, sit is the end of Greece"
King Constantine and Premier Zai-
mis- conferred at length on the situa-
ton.
Likely to Join Allies.
On the whole, the situation with re-
gard to Greece's entry into the war
on the side of the Allies seems favor
able, notwithstanding the arrest last
Sunday and Monday by Anglo-French
secret police of German and Austrian
agents, against which Premier Zaimis
vigorously protested, and despite COM
plicity by the French in the disaffec-
ton of the Eleventh Greek division at
Saloniki, which profoundly shocked
the Greek public and seriously en-
dangered the success of the negotia-
tons then in progress.
Serbs Anxious for Aid.
The reported opposition Of Russia
and Italy to Greece's cooperation in
the war is actually much less than
had been believed, and the Serbs, far
from Directing, are most anxious that
the Greeks join the Allies.

London, Sept. IL. - Reuter- dis
patch from Athens says a ministerial
crisis is imminent. Premier Zaimis,
the dispatch adds, is believed to have
rendered his resignation.
London, Sept IL. - Probably the
most significant move in the war de-
velopments was that of the British in
the Struma region of the Greek Mace
DOMAIN front. Here the British, after
hard fighting, threw their forces across
the Struma at Neohori, at the southern
end of Lake Tahinos, which lies be-
tween Sores and Oriano, and at sew
eral other places near the lake. In
addition, four villages were captured
and held Notwithstanding heavy coun-
ter-attacks by the Teutonic Allies.

Whether this offensive by the Brit
ish means the commencement Of an
attempt at a drive through Bulgaria
or is merely maneuver to throw the
British line near Kavla, which is
about miles east of Nechori, has not
yet been made apparent. From the
west of the Vardar river to Lake Dol
ran, the French are violently bonn
harding Bulgarian positions, and on
the front held by the Serbians, the
Bulgarians have been compelled to
withdraw.
Roumanians Take HeIimBar.
In the Roumanian theater the Aus
TRANS are in retreat before the Rou-
manians in the Maros and Toplitza
valleys, while to the south OF Her
mannstadt the Roumanians have occu-
pied the village of Helimsar. Vienna
admits a further withdrawal of the
Austrian forces near Gyergo.
Heavy fighting continues in Do
brudja, and there have been small in
fantry engagements along the entire
Danube front, but in neither region
has any important change in position
taken place
Russian Attacks Fail.
On the Eastern front, according to
Berlin, Russian attacks along the Stok-
bod river, northwest of Koyel and in
Galicia, between the Dniester and
Zlota Liz rivers, with Halicz the OBJ
jective, failed with sanguinary losses
to the Russians.
Except for bombardments and the
repulse of German counter-attacks,
Monday was without special incident
on the Somme front in France. To
the south of the river, in the sectors
of Berny-en-Santerre, Vermandovillers
and Chaulmes, the artillery duels be-
tween the French and Germans were
especially violent.
