DIR. J. FL. REED
HANDS HERALD
HUGE FOSSIL
Specimen Picked Up When
Ice Pond Was Excavated
Here Many Years Ago.

DR.. J. H. Reed hands the Herald a
fossil tooth specimen of gigantic size.
The specimen was found in Pigeon
Creek hollow years ago when Jared
Barnett was excavating for the pres
ent ice pond. The tooth is eight inches
long and has five cusps that are four
inches across at one end and two
inches at the small end. The roots are
five inches long. The several roots
together measure 13 inches at the
gum margin. The enamel is % inches
thick. DR.. Reed says the animal this
tooth came from had "a teeth in all
but had but four in each jaw at one
time. 1t erupted its teeth forward.
The specimen is an interesting fea-
ture of natural history exhibit COM
piled by DR.. Reed over many years
of endeavor. A part of the Reed ex-
hibit is to be donated to the Lancas-
ter public library. For the time being
the big tooth can be seen in the Her.
aid window.
DR.. Reed has been keen student
of natural history for the past so
years and is one of the few ornitholo-
gists and taxidermists in the state.
He has spent many years and invest
ed hundreds of dollars in preparing
the splendid collection along natural
history lines soon to be presented to
the people Of Lancaster as a gift.

BIG REUNION
Ancestors Came Here From
England Many Years
AgO.-GOOd Citizens.

The Blackburn clan, some 200
strong, met at the old camp ground
at Platteville Sunday a week ago and
held a rousing reunion. Customary
reunion entertainment appropriate for
the Sabbath was INDUCED in. An in
teresting address on the origin of the
Blackburn family, tracing it from
their ancestral home in England to
the good old U. S. A, was delivered
by JOS Blackburn of Lancaster. Mr.
Blackbourn's brother, Fred, postmas-
ter at Dunbarton, Wis, with his fam

OLD RESIDENT
OF PLATTEVILLE
DIES A SUICIDE
0. E. Addison, Sc, a Victim
of DespOndency-Burial
Made Last Wednesday.

PLATTEVILLE-W was receiv-
ed in Platteville Sunday that o. E.
Addison had taken his life by shoot
Ing himself. The act was committed
in the park at Galena, III.
tits supposed that the act was
caused by worry over money affairs.
He had been in Platteville a number
of times this spring at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Chas. De Nure.
Indications are that he planned TAX
ing hsi life for some time. He told
his sister that while he was in so
many different places that he would
send his trunk home, which he did. 1t
contained his clothing and all his pos
sessions.
Deceased was about Sc years of age
and spent his early boyhood days in
Platteville.
The remains were brought to Platte
vile from Galena Tuesday accompan-
led by members of the Elk Order of
which he was a member.
Funeral services were held in
Platteville Wednesday.

LOCAL "IKES" MEET

Local Walton Leaguers held a
rousing meeting Monday evening at
Grantland club room, o'clock fish
supper being furnished in excellent
style by the Catholic ladies. A num-
Der of McGregor brothers were pres
ent as guests and their president, NJ.
X. Geske, delivered a good inspira-
tional talk on league purposes. Mr..
Geske emphasized that the league was
concerned chiefly in the conservation
and propa cation of all living things
and that sports while important. were
purely secondary. He also urged the
induction of women members into the
chapter The McGregor chapter is
one of the most noted in the country,
with a record of achievement of an
annual wild school of three weeks,
the agitation to prevent drainage of
Winnishiek bottom and the passage of

Your Candidates for
State SenatOrShip.

One contest to be settled at the COM
ing primary is the republican candi-
date for the state senate. AS con-
test is on the office becomes one of
interest and Importance.
E. J. Roethe of Fennimore, our
brother editor, is one of the candi-
dates. The Herald thinks highly of
Mr. Roethe as a man. For years we
have been competitors and for years
we have been good friends. The Her
aid has never hesitated to call on the
Times for a lift and we have taken
pleasure many times in returning the
favors extended us. We consider Mr..
Roethe good business man, a capa-
BILE newspaper man and a good citi-
zen. We therefore take pleasure in
commencing him to our readers.
knowing Ed. as we do we know the
people will make no mistake in vot-
ing for him.
The writer is ont acquainted with
Albert c. Johnson of Soldiers Grove,
Mr.. Roethes opponent We under
stand that he is a Wisconsin boy and
was born and raised on farm.
Since attaining manhood he has held
many positions of responsibility and
trust. Member of the county board,
banker and state legislator, his eX-
perience has evidently been wide
spread.
Between the two men there seems
to be little to choose from the stand
point of ability or character. Taking
them from a political standpoint we
measure Mr.. Roethe as a conservative
and Mr.. Johnson as a LaFollette fol-
lower. According to his belief in
principles the reader must make his
choice.
Those who believe time has ar
rived to change the ideas of govern
ment in this state and that an effort
should be made to reduce the cost of
government, to simplify administration
and to reduce office holders should
support Mr. Roethe for that is what
he stands for. If you believe in per-
petuating the ideas in vogue in this
state for number of years past you
will support Mr.. Johnson. Take your
choice

Flashes
~Life is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"
The BOscObeI
Khan Controversy.

In this issue of the Herald is an
interesting communication from Dist.
Atty. Geo. B. Clementson made at our
request to throw light on the Bosco-
bel khan parade controversy wherein
Gov. Blaine claims mob violence"
and asks prosecution of the klansmen.
Mr.. Clementson, in so far as he has
been able to determine, finds no act
of violence except on the part of the
night watch who, acting as a free
lance, attempted to stop the parade,
shoot a klansman and got a blow on
the jaw.
From the facts at hand it seems
that the klansmen asked for and re-
ceived full authority from the Bosco-
bel city council to make their parade.
Hence they were acting legally re-
CARELESS of the propriety of such pa
radeS. 1t seems also that Shields acted
in a manner to infuriate the marcherS
and losing his own temper, came near
to being a murderer. Reading Mr..
Clementson's statement we cannot
view otherwise than that he is acting
in the proper manner, in readiness to
take other steps if developments JUS
tify it,
The place to stop parade of any
kind is in the city council and not on
the street. We doubt very much the
good taste of masked men parading
the streets of any city but if if they
do so with legal permission the i'm
propriety exists in the weakness of
the governing body and not elsewhere.
1t seems to us that as a matter of
good sense and good taste the author
ity should be granted with the provisO,
however, that no masks be worn and
that all march so their identity is
plain to others. And under no other
circumstances should such a march be
permitted
1t is doubtless true that such pa
rades are taken as slap in the face
by anti-klan people and that such
people feel indignant over the public
march. Nevertheless, and regardless
of their feelings, they certainly have
no right to commit murder just be-
cause they are Infatuated or displeas-
ed. The issue at stake is certainly not
large enough to justify any shedding
of blood, khan or anti-klan.
The Herald is prone to believe that
our district attorney, not a khan ad-
vocate, is acting judicially and in a
proper manner. And we are prone to
believe also that the governor is
either riding high horse or else
making political capital out of re-
grettable event.
The hearing will be held shortly
and Herald readers will be kept in
formed of all facts in the case.
