to Wisconsin
As a member OF the Republican
party he ran for lieutenant governor
but was defeated. In 1859 he stirred
the country with a speech on True
Americanism Lincoln sent him as
minister to Spain in 1861. but after
a year he returned TO join the army
He was made brigadier and major
general in turn. distinguishing him
self at the second battle OF Bull
Run. He also saw the thickest of the
Gettysburg and Chattanooga fights.
From 1869 to 1875 he served as
senator from Missouri-the first Ger
man senator In the United States.
He was a great champion Of civil
service reform and also figured
against land thieves. The later years
Of his life were spent in editorial
writing and in the writing Of essays.
His famous interview with Bismarck
came during a visit to Berlin when
the great statesman invited him to
his rooms.
They discussed the European sit
uation in an informal manner, and
Bismarck asked many questions con.
corning the American government,
Evidently he could not realize how
democracy such ours could exist.
Schurz wrote in his memories q
lengthy description Of that interview
which drifted from the comparative
value Of various brands Of cigars to
the gravest questions Of state. Bis
marck confessed that he was a born
aristocrat and almost sided with the
slave holders of the south.

YARN BRANDED
AS FABRICATION
U. S. Attorneys Office Says No
Such Regulations Have
Been Issued in Hawaii

What is declared by local United
States officials to be a pure fabrica-
ton" and ridiculous" is an article ap-
pearing in a Hilo paper of recent date
which. in effect, states that Sheriff
Sam Pua has information that the
VIII, lie of the islands Of Hawaii, or at
least its civilian residents, are to be
disarmed." The reason for the pur'
ported disarmament, says the paper,
is because anthrax germs have been
found in bullets"
mo such instructions have been
issued by this office declared I. S.
Attorney S. c. Huber today. and II
instructions had come from other
sources | would have been immediate
ly informed | do not know where any
authority to disarm the residepts OF
the territory would come from, and
do not see what l0od it would &C
complish."
The district attorney. referring to
che statement that anthrax germs
have been found in bullets. says that
three examinations Of carcasses have
been made and each case proved mega
tive. The rest OF the article in the
Hilo paper reads as follows:
This order has been made operat'
i've here in consequence OF reports
from various parts Of the states de-
claring that anthrax germs have been
discovered in bullets. And it is on this
account that the people of Hawaii are
to be Invested OF their firearms.
There Is, however. one alternative.
Providing a person applies for, and
succeeds in getting, a permit to go
hunting he will be allowed to go on
shooting expeditions as heretofore
But he must at all times carry this
permit on his person"

Through the dear old fields Of Used to
Be
Where Fancy wanders mcrrily.
Carry me back to the merry days.
Which now glean dimly through the
haze
OF passing years that fleet away.
Yet live forever and a day.
Garry me hack on the waves Of song
Where fondest day-dreams now belong;
Where hopes OF Youth arc sparkling
bright.
Whilst Memory's lamps are now aliEht
And ah. those days which now We view.
When life was long and dreams came
true;
Though some were dark we now recall
The light of love DER them all.
They came from out the faraways
Like echoes OF those gladstone days
That bring us peace and soothc our
care
Az we live again the days that We're.
Don't say they're dead and arc no moro.
These precious days of the Long Be-
fore:
For treasured up in Memory's urn.
Through misty years they all return.

paid to curse America and to warn
all Russians against any dealings
with US. The return Of the Root mis-
sion brought back the first authentic
reports of all this-and now from
Petrograd comes news that Kerensly

with which so many Russians sought
to get back home. Many Of them,
upon even the most cursory examina-

men to whom the possession Of pas

difficult to find out how they got the
money and what they expected to do

mischief has been done. We may
loan money to Russia till she cannot
pay the interest on the interest Of the

let loose upon her the men who
sought to ruin both her and US for the
sake Of German bribe money.

HELP OUT THE FAIR

The weather control couldn't have
been manipulated in more in
efficient manner If 1t had been under
government jurisdiction-that IS. SO
far as the fortunes of the Wheeling
Fair Association are concerned. With
last Sundays storm it was thought
the atmospherical conditions would
settle down, and everything was pro-
piious until the drenching rain that
fell during the early hours Of yester-
day morning, and the lowering clouds
that persisted to be threatening until
late in the afternoon, when the skies
cleared. Thursday Of all days has
been the record attendance producer,
but yesterday was something Of a
frost in the way Of turnstile registra-
tons. It Is TOO bad. 1t could have
rained on either of the other days
without serious detriment 10 the Fair,
but Thursdays slip has had a very
depressing effect on the management.
Last year tho Associations dates
run into rainy season. but Thurs
day was fair, which brought record
attendance and saved them from go
ing into a hole. This year the AS
ISOLATION has been expanding large
sums in Improvements and expansion
OF the grounds. and it stands to lose
money unless the people respond TO-
DAY in numbers enough to make up
ior yesterdays default. The racing
programme will be just as interesting
as on other days. and the other fea-
lures Of the Fair as attractive. 1t is
up 20 the people OF Wheeling and W
scinity to turn out today and show
their appreciation OF the public spirit
(which is back Of the Fair. and aid the
A.a..aeament to pull out without loss.
