FARMER FINED
HE SOLD A BUNCH OF STALE
EGGS TO A MERCHANT.

Vermillion, Sept. 3.-For attempt
ing to sell rotten eggs TO a local mer-
chandise store, Nels Peter Lethander.
a farmer of near Meckling, was hand
ed a neat little package which
amounted to SIS, by County Judge
j. III. Copeland.
Lethander took 80 dozen eggs to
n of the stores and after the eggs
had been candled, seven dozen were
found to be bad. 1t is said that when
the clerk refused to buy the eggs,
Lethander flew into a rage and de-
manded back his eggs, including the
bad ones, stating, ii is alleged, that
he would take them somewhere else
and sell them. The clerk refused to
accede to this request and after Leth-
ander had become very abusive the
clerk called up the food and drug de-
partment. Deputy Commissioner
Vaughn inspected the eggs and after
getting sufficient evidence that
Lethander was trying to dispose of
them, went before the states attor-
ney and made out a complaint.

COMPANY E
HOW THE BOYS ARE SITUATED
BALL GAME AT HOWARD
YESTERDAY FAILURE.

Visitors at the barracks provided
them as being comfortable, even if
they are more or less of a makeshift
character. The men will undoubted-
ly see more of the makeshift. and
many more camps which are more
makeshift. There are cots for about
80 men in the auditorium, and eight
large wall tents. furnish quarters for
the rest. The Odd Fellows hall is
turned into a mess hall, and in one
end are installed stoves and para
phernalia for cooking, and two long
tables seat the men at eating. A
squad of men we're returned to Mad
ison Saturday and are cleaning and
removing all signs of their occu-
pancy of the Normal dOrmitory.

ence on the grounds in their game
yesterday with the Howard team al
Howard. Lefty" Letcher was not
playing, Albertson pitching in his
stead. In the first two innings the
Howard men galloped nine men
around the diamond and after that
the Safety First team was in the air
so far that they could not even make
a track. The whole show was a pain
full fiasco. as described by those who
were present. The game was also
poorly attended by the people OF
Howard, and not attended at all by
the people of Madison.

NO EAST FOR HIM
A. W. SPONHOLZ WOULD NOT
LIKE EAST - RETURNS
LAST NIGHT.

A.. w. SponhOlz returned last
night from a 12-day trip in company
with his wife, to Chicago and other
points between here and that town,
and says that he is glad he is i'm
South Dakota. On the way he visit
ed at Milwaukee. and spent a day at
the old farm nea Mayville. Wis.
where he was born and grew TO man
hood. OF all the territory covered in
the trip. he says that the crops of
our W particular part of South Da-
kota are better than they are in any
other place he saw.
When asked this morning what he
saw in Chicago, he said that he
didn't see much of anything. They
visited the parks and some muse
ment places, but beyond that the
buildings were so high and placed SO
closely together that n could see
very little. Milwaukee, where they
also spent a few days, he describes
as being a much slower town than
the smaller city of Minneapolis, and
a much less desirable city in which
to live. Mr.. SponhOlz characterizes
the whole east in one word as be
ing dead"
He expressed himself as being par
ticularly disappointed in that his
memories of the old home farm near
Mayville, Wis, did not correspond
with the real appearance and dis
tanees. The hills are not of the
heighths they seemed formerly to be.
the house as large, nor the trees so
fine. He says that he feels sorry
for the people of hat country. They
expect only an existence, and any
thing beyond a mere existence has to
be saved at the expense of things
they need and all amusements and
r%ecreations. Very little crop is rails
ed for direct market there, milk and
cream being the principal produce OF
the farms. And everybody knows
the exacting nature of this work.

any action. To millions OF men
around this globe we represent just
a huge, jellited, disorganized mass,
incapable of efficiency, lying and
wallowing in money and fat.
The policy that would rid them of
that notion is also the policy that
would shorten the war, save thou
sands of lives and unspeakable mis-
cry, insure our own safety as much
as it would save our prestige and re-
putatiOn and indicate our unselfish
and high purposes in entering this
, war.
It is from the drop of the hat
BING! INSTANT ACTION!
We have $4,000 regular troops
doing nothing, fully trained, fully
equipped, as hard as nails, the finest
soldiers in the world. Within one
week of the declaration of war some
of them ought to be on their way to
the western battle front.
If it is only division, if it is only
a brigade, no matter. The presence
on that front of just one American
regiment and the sight Of one Amer
lean flag would be worth more than
100000 recruits. It would fill the
allies with indescribable enthusiasm
and notify all dreaming PTussians
that what they are fronting is not
fatty degeneration, but efficiency on
the job.
But the only way to have that
effect is to move quickly and put on
the steam. Well get nowhere with
dilly-dally, there is no surer cinch
than that.
AS soon as the first detachment
sails, get ready the next and start
that on its way.
This is the only possible plan by
which we can help end the war and
end it right.
There is no sacrifice for such a
cause at such a time that is worth
weighing
