NJ. F. Foley, county chairman of the
Red Cross drive, has received letter
from Fred Vogel, state chairman, which
says that where the full quota has not
been raised, the Req Cross drive may
be extended to January 1. This will
enable all the work to be brought to q
close at that time.
First ward, Baraboo, had on Satur-
day night, a membership of 707 names
and the second ward had 774 Two
life memberships wee taken in the
first and patron membership. From
the rural districts most encouraging
reports are coming in. Skillet Greek
branch now numbers 125, with several
good prospects in sight This splendid
work was done by Mesdames George
Carpenter, WILDER Caboon, Ernest c.
Kunzelman, Herman Zantow, VIII
Marquardt, G. N. E1irachinger and w.
A. Toole.
Lyons made a remarkable showing,
with 80 families tc work upon. They
took go memberships and have good
line of prospects yet. Upper Webster
Prairie got 80 names; Lower Prairie
had % names; Mrs. Walter Rodewald,
on east lake road, reported six, and
Mrs. Fl. G. Mertzke. west lake road,
got 20. Guy Weidenkopf, west of the
city, took rs names by his own indl-
viduaI effort. Lower Narrows COM
munity had 81 on Saturday evening,
with prospects for more. Fairfield,
which started on its drive today, is
good for 500 names. These indicate
that the rura1s out IF Baraboo, with
Chenille and Greenfield to report, will
show up membership of more than
500. And they VIII also add to the
organization several units for work
on Red Cross supplies.
It is hoped that the banners will be
universally displayed in the windows,
care being practiceG SO that fires may
not result. Curtains should be drawn,
so that they will not be ignited by the
burning candle. AT 7:30 each church
bell in the city will be rung, as a token
of the great victory for the Red Cross.

MANY SERB|ANS
BURNED ALIVE

Compelled to dig their own graves,
drowned, burned alive, hanged or shot
down with machine guns, the Serbians
Oh Herzegovian, Bosnia, Istria and Dali
malta were the victims of Austro-Hun-
garian atrocities, surprising the hui
man imagination, recently declared
DR.. Tresic Pavicic, a Slav member OF
the Austro-Hungarian chamber Of dep-
uties, now in London. Narratives OF
Serbians made prisoners in Austrian
jails and fortresses were related in
detail before the Austrian parliament
by the Slav deputy.
According to Dr. Pavicic these out
RACES were practiced upon the civilian
population old men, women and chill
dren, whene orders were given by
General Potiorek, described as the au-
tocrat Of Bosnia, to remove all the
Serbians from the frontier districts.
The inhabitants of the village Of
Svice young and old, were all led
away and on arrival at Mount Rudo
were compelled to dig their own
graves and to lie down each in his
own. Many women, the deputy said,
lay down in their graves with children
in their graves and the soldiers then
shot them one after another, the living
putting earth over the dead until their
own turn came.
Many Die by Hanging
The ordinary method of executing
these cilivians who should have been
interned, said the Slav deputy, was to
hang them, but instead the whole
Serbo-Montenegrin frontier has been
transformed into a desert. Eighty
two persons, he said, were hanged
without trial at Zubac, 1913 at Trebin-
10, II at Foca and 800 at Tuzla. He
gave the names of victims and the
dates and localities Of the outrages.
Other atrocities were also narrated.

Travelling Engineer

In 1879 he went to the Omaha sys-
TEN and ran between ST. Paul and Ell
roy for four years, when he resigned
to become travelling passenger engi-
neer for the Omaha system.
However, a few months later he en-
tered the service of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul line as engineer
between Mason City and Sanborn,
MINI. On September 20, 1883, he was
transferred to the river division and
shortly after became switch engineer

The Winona yart.s during his serv-
ice here have developed into an ex-
tensve railroad center with miles OF
tracks and a modern depot and other
facilities.
when I first came to Winona,
Mr.. Clark said yesterday, there was
no roundhouse here. We used to let
the engine stand over night back of
the little depot which, by the way,
now is a residence just a few blocks
from here.
Mr.. Clark is popular among railroad
men. He an honorary member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and has been an active union
labor worker.

never received a mark in any Of
them"

joys His Work---Rides Thou
sands Of Miles On Duty

CWinona Independent, Dec. %, 1910
The number of miles that Charles
G.. Clark, eighty-two-year-old engineer
of the Milwaukee system, has covered
in. his sixty years of railroading would
girdle the earth many times. In spite
of his age he is still active and is
the day engineer on the switch engine
in the local yards. Each day he is
gradually increasing the number Of
rail Joints over which he has travelled.
Began on Wood Burner
During his long career as d rail-
reader, he has seen the transportation
facilities of this nation grow from
the wood burner to the modern steam
and electric giants. that race across
the continent at speed never
dreamed of in his youth.
Each year he says brings wonders
in railroading. He has grown with
the system. During the past thirty
four years, Mr.. Clark has been res
ident of Winona and has been IN
charge of the local switch locomotive.
Sixty years ago, he commenced rail
reading as a fireman on the old Con
cord & Boston railroad but came west
year later and entered the service
of the Northwestern as a fireman. In
1861 he was advanced to engineer ana
ran in the passenger service between
Madison, Wis, and Chicago for 10
years.

The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1917-08-10

We feel thoroughly justified in
saying that Dillis f. Ward is one of
the most competent men who has
ever offered himself as a candidate
for office Of Assessor. He is a man
well educated, thoroughly honest and
reliable, well acquainted in the coun-
ty, and always faithful, prompt and
efficient in the performance of duty.
Ohio County needs this man for its
Assessor. He is thoroughly familiar
with the new tax law of the State and
is just the man for the place.
The Republican ticket is made up
of men from all sections of the coun-
ty. Embry from Select, Cook from
Arnold, Bratcher from the Center
town country, Kirk from Fordsville.
Ward from the No Creek neighbor-
hood near Beda. Howard from the
Select and Cromwell Country, Mox-
ley from the Olaton neighborhood
and Riley from Hartford.
There can not be a serious objec-
ton urged against a single one of
them. The Republican nominees
therefore, have the best opportunity
for election they have had in Ohio
County since the days when the
County majority was certain to be
around six and seven hundred.
Morrow carried Ohio County by
nearly seven hundred; Hughes by
over five hundred. thus showing the
Republicans in Ohio County, when
united have a safe majority. There
is every reason to believe that in this
year the Republican party in Ohio
County will present a united, solid
front, and with this condition, victory
in November is certain.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1917-08-10

The Republicans have nominated
L. l.. Embry, who has had the eX-
perience Of two sessions Of the Ken
lucky Legislature already. One reg
ular term, and one special session.
II has been the unfortunate custom
in Ohio County to send new man up
TO be trained TO his duties at each
session OF the Legislature, and as
a result Ohio County has not had
the benefit of an experienced man in
the General Assembly for a number
of years; Notwithstanding the per-
sonal fitness of her several repre-
sentatives. In the Legislature eX-
perience counts more than anything
else. The Republicans, through
their nominee, LATE Embry, offer
Ohio County the first opportunity in
a number OF years to send TO the
man already experience
ed as we'll as otherwise highly quail
fed for the service.

ing, read it some more. And then If
you don't get a clear idea OF it, be-
cause it is certainly intelligent and
clear cut?, l guess you should be
courtmartialed, and perhaps shot,
tho you should as matter of course
be tried by the Herald. The Herald
is just a bit too quick and anxious TO
try to serve the Democratic Party's
interest by bellyaching with such alb
solutely foolish tommyrot, of which
the above is a sample.

my recent race for the Republican
nomination for Sheriff of Ohio County

To those who saw fit to support either
of my estimable opponents, | have
none other than the kindliest of feel
ing. My defeat was fairly accomp-
lished and to the will of the majority
! cheerfully submit, promising not
only to Mr.. Bratcher, my successful
opponent, but TO the entire Ticket as
well, my very best and most faithful
service from this date until the close
of November the 9Th, next.

Claude Blankenship has had, per-
haps as. much to overcome in the
way of campaign and contest as any
man who ever offered himself for
public Office. He has had TO fight
for everything he has received at the
hands of the people, yet he has al
ways been faithful to the trust i'm
posed in him, and has made com
petent county clerk. He has the ut
most confidence of the people of the
county and II any man was ever
entitled to support il is he.
Prof. E. S. Howard, Republican
Nominee for School Superintendent,
has experience of nearly twenty years
as a successful teacher in Ohio

MY TICKET.

Well, the Primary Election, in
spite of the fact that the Hartford
Herald appears TO want TO open up
the Republican part of it, in some
of the races, is over, behind US so
to speak. We never before, perhaps,
lost more votes in a primary election,
the fact is, we individually landed
a very few, yet we are satisfied with
the ticket placed in the field by the
majority vote of the Republicans on
last Saturday, in what all men agree
ever held in Ohio County. one free
from trickery and chicanery and in
so far as We know, not a single in g.
dividual whether candidate or not, in
the primary, has reason to withhold
support from the ticket, by reason of
unfairness of any particular candi-
date. The Ticket was, not of our Sc
lection, but ii is our choice now, be-
cause it was and is the choice of the
highest number of those Republicans
expressing their preference on last
Saturday and in addition to that fact,
the ticket is a clean one, the various
individuals composing the ticket are
worthy, honorable and deserve the
support of every good Republican in
the entire County, and no other good
citizen would be disgraced by sup
porting any one of the Republican
Nominees. We believe it's a win
ner. ~r 1'T % 20. -.-.-

A D. Kirk whose nomination was

County Attorney Mr.. Kirk was
elected last November to serve out

expired term and it goes without say

own with the best of Attornies as a
representative of the County and
State in all litigation wherein it may
become his duty to serve. Mr.. Kirk
has thoroughly familiarized himself
with all of the duties connected with
the office of County Attorney, he has
a line upon the evidence given before
the Grand Juries wherein indict-

are told that one effective argument

would not do to have two of the

same time it was being urged that
Judge had on chance whatever and

two others" Now dear reader,

LIBERIA DECLARES WAR
ON GERMAN EMPIRE.

Washington, Aug. Liberia, the
