The shrill cry of fire aroused our
people at 2:12 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. It's the Tribune office was the
cry. The words were whispered a.
right. 1t was indeed the Grand
Rapids Tribune Office which was be-
ing offered up, sacrifice to glut the
vengeance of human fiends whose
sympathies have been with the de-
baucher of homes, and the destroyer
of home happiness. The fire was first
discovered, perfect sheet of flame
issuing from the whole building. The
supposition is that copious quantities
of kerosene were dashed in through
the windows, and some infammable
substance then thrown nto ignite the
substance then thrown into ignite the
can be arrived at, other than that the
fire was the product of incendiarias'
torch, encouraged and abetted by GER
tain citizens. Loss about $4,000.

MRS.O. GORDON
From Lodi Enterprise:

From Lodi Enterprise:
Mrs. O. Gordon passed away Sat
urday evening, Oct. 7th, at the home
of her son, Geo. O. Gordon, at the
age of 72 years, II months and 81
days. The funeral was held Mon
day afternoon at the house, con-
Quoted by Revs. G. R. Carver and
Thos. Foulkes. Tuesday morning
the remains were taken by Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. o. Gordon to Grand Rap
ids, this state, the old home of the
deceased, and laid to rest beside
her husband.
Theresa, daughter of Abel and
Lucy Moffat Parker, was born in
Virgil, CORTLAND Co., N. Y, Oct.
16, 1843. When she was 5 years of
age, the family came to the territory
of Wisconsin to what is now Wau-
shara Co., then known as Indian
Land. A year later the mother died
and they returned to New York,
living there two years. They again
come West, to Markesan, Green
county, moving later to Hancock,
Waushara Co. When about IL years
Of age Theresa Parker went to
Grand Rapids, Wis, where four
years later she became the wife of
Orlondo Gordon. Two children
were born to them, a daughter,
Mile, who died Dec 26, 1891, and
son, George o. Gordon. Her hus-
band dying Feb. %, 1894, she came
to Lodi, the following May and has
since been a member of her sons
family.
Soon after coming to Lodi she be-
came "Gonga," name lovingly
lisped by her baby granddaughter.
This name chung to her and she has
always been Gonga Gordon to all
the many friends, young and old,
passing in and out of the Gordon
home.
Four years ago she suffered Sc
we're illness from which she never
fully recovered. Her strength did
not return sufficiently to permit of
her taking up the old duties and
pleasures, but with her cheerful
energy and hands that never SEEM
ed to tire, she filled her life full to
the brim with unselfsh activities,
and drew more closely about her
the circle of loving friends. The
morning of Wednesday, Oct. 4, she
had hemorrhage of the brain. She
never regained consciousness and
died Saturday evening, Oct. 7, 1916.
Besides her son George, Mrs
Gordon is survived by one sister at
Plainfeld, two brothers and a step
mother at Hancock.

Just then there was rap at the door
and Dolph politely ushered in a big
lusty "Lo," who grunted-"me stay

er from his amazement, rap, Rap"

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

VO1EFOR
E.E. BROWNE

The reelection of Congressman Ed
ward E. Browne is almost a foregone
conclusion, so well supported was he
at the primary and SO recognized in
his value to this district, his record at
Washington being notably clean. E
very republican should see that his
ballot is marked for Mr.. Browne at
the November election.
Mr.. Browne has been making a few
speeches in Shawano county, part
of his district, last week and is ad-
dressing audiences in this county
now. And is impressing the voters
with the fact that he is standing for
those policies of government which
have and will continue to make this
country prosperous and successful.
In Congress, Mr.. Browne has
shown his level-headedness and care
full understanding of conditions and
measures and has uniformly support
ed those bills which were for the best
interest of the country, avoiding the
mistake of being led astray by men
who had fish to fry" of their own.
Mr.. Browne is speaking in favor of
the election Of Mr.. Hughes, realizing
we'll that it is important that this
country again come under a republi-
can regime if it is to be able to a.
chieve all that is possible for it, after
the war closes, and he stands for a
reasonable protective tariff, and in
opposition to the makeshift law which
has been enacted by the democrats
since they have been in power.
A review of Mr.. Brownies votes in
dicates how thoroughly he is in touch
with the legislation before Congress,
and his ability to choose the right
from the wrong when voting
Waupaca county should and will
give Mr.. Browne very large vote in
November as an endorsement of the
work he has done for the people dur
ing the past four years.
And it behooves every voter to help
swell his majority at the polls as an
endorsement of his achievements and
toker of observation-disclosures

peared in court here today to answer
to a charge of vagrancy. Halse, who
with his beautiful young wife, Retta,
aged q, connected with prominent So
ciety people, lived in a mansion on the
east side here, was arrested several
weeks ago, following the arrest of
Mrs. Halse in Chicago on a larceny
charge. His arrest was asked by the
Chicago police who hope to use him
as a witness against his wife. Halse
thus far has refused to talk about the
arrest Of himself or his wife.
Police say the arrests are the cul-
mination of search for many years,
extending over the entire country by
police departments of many big ci-
ties and scores of private detectives
E. G. Wurster, republican candidate
for district attorney of Milwaukee
county, is Halse's attorney.
The authorities say that the alleged
crimes started about five years ago
Reports that pockets were being pick
ed, shoppers purses taken, valuable
merchandise and jewelry stolen and
clever games to defraud the merchants
were being operated, were poured in
to the police department of many large
cities from department stores. Pri-
vate detectives and police were help
less.
One Of the cleverest schemes al
legged to have been worked is describ-
ed as follows:
The woman, police said, would go
to department store and make pur-
chases which would amount to a GER
tain sum, for instance $3.50. She
would get a receipted check and
leave, taking the goods with her. The
next day she would return to the
store, look over the coats and gowns
and take one marked SIS. Then she
would raise the $3.50 receipt to SIS,
go to the store with the stolen gown,
saying that she was not satisfied and
ask that her $75 be returned. City
after city reported similar activities
but for years police were unable to
make Roadway.
Police say that it was the work
of band of swindlers and that their
operations Melted them thousands of
dollars. Mrs. Halse's case was also
to come to trial in the Harrison street
police court, today.
