VAN METER TELLS EN-

The New Richmond News remarks
n rather melancholy tones that slim
Frear has 'em buffaIoed in this dis
triot. AS The News was the first
ra9ser in the district to bring out biT,
Frear fcr congress, and as Editor
Van Meter choice has been endorsed
by large majolrties at every election
since then, he should have no kick
coming. -Chronotype.
YES, yes, dearie; You are telling at
least half truth, but a great many
things have happened since. "The
News was the first paper in the dis
trict to bring out Mr. Frear for con
gress." Since then Frear wobbled
and backed and filled and straddled on
almost every question that has been
before congress, and hasn't done a
single thing for the farmers Of the
district. Since then Frear has been to
Russia and said many silly things
s.taut she Russian situation that even
out-La F1olletted La Toilette himself.
Since then Frear hes demanded that
President Coolidge resign, and since
then Frear has made an exceedingly
silly speech in Des MEines in which
he denounced both President Cool
idge and General Dawes as tools of
Wall Street Wonder what Frear
really thinks of himself since cleo
ticn
BY the way, did it ever occur to you
where Frear would have landed in the
recent election had he presented his
candidacy to the people where he
really belonged, namely: in the in
dependant column?
He is not Republican, doesen't
pretend to be except for purposes of
getting himself elected. He did not
support Coolidge and Dawes, he sup
ported La Toilette and Wheeler. But
az we remarked before: "Frear has
EN- buffaboed in this district"
Lincoln said enee upon a time:
You can foG all of the people part
Of the time and part of the people
all Of the time, but you can't fool
all the people all the time"
Frear will get his eventually. He
win get his just as soon as the people
wake up. His position is by no
means impregrable Some day he viii
have to show his tax receipt, if any.

OLD NAN MURDERS
WIFE NEAR HUDSON

Hudson.-Slasfed in the wrist and
ether parts of his body by his own
act, William Clark, 60-year-old
laborer who brutality murdered his
wife, died Saturday.
Despite his critical condition as
result of stabbing himself, he was
lodged in the county Jail after he
dubbed his wife into Inconsistencies,
her injury resulting in death shortly
afterward. His wife died in a Still
water, Mimi, hospital. The murder
occurred at their home at Houlton,
near here last Wednesday.
According to sheriff Con O'Brien
Of St. Croix county, Clark has little
chance to recover. He sIashed his
wrist, stabbed himself in the stomach
and is also suffering with shoulder
wounds.
In the event Clark should recover,
county authorities said, charge Of
first degree murder would be placed
against him.
Mrs. Clark, who was SO years old,
was alive when a deputy broke into
the house a few minutes after she
was struck and stabbed, and lived
only short while.
Clarll's three children, Margare-,
aged 6, Billie, aged 5, and Baby Alice,
2 and one-half years old, were wit
ness of the murder. Frequent aher-
cations between the husband and
wife have occurred in the household,
the eldest girl told authorities. Early
tfet morning, according to the girls
story, the father took a bottle of
medicated alcohol from the medicine
shelf and drank the contents. 4 few
minutes Letter, apparently crazed by
the liquor, he sprang from the chair
in which he was sitting and without
warming grabbed hammer and
struck Mrs. Clark over the head.
After rendering her unconscious he
seized a butcher knife and slashed
the PROSTATE woman.
After Mrs. Clark was removed
from the hl2me CLARK was found in a
bedroom. He slashed himself ard was
unable to talk when found. His
wounds were dressed and 10 was
loaded into an automobile and taken
to Hudson.
Neighbors had on many occasions
warned Mrs. Clark that her husband
was dangerous but the wife refused
to heed the warnings, declaring she
was not afraid Of him, according to
reports.
IIart summer Clark was arrested
at the request Of his wife and sub
sequently was placed under a two
year suspended sentence in Waupun
for non-support.

MILLION LIVE CARP
IN PIERCE co. STORAGE

Bay City, Wis.-With the compile
ton Of a large storage pond here,
operating in connection with 4 SIM
liar pond at Maiden Rock, the North
western Fish company of Whsona,
Mimi, claims it has gone far to-
ward stabilizing the carp fshil, in
dustry on the Upper Mississippi
river These two ponds-which are
really large artificial laheswill
furnish storage room for more than
100000 live fish. Thus the surplus
fish will be kept in good condition at
al times to meet the demand for this
species of fish at the great centers of
population in the East.
The carp of the Upper river is the
standard quality demanded by the
Eastern markets and the fish in the
ponds here and at Maiden Rock are
to be fed for the market, with crack
ed corn and other suitable food, just
as cattle are fed for the stcckyards.
The scheme also gives the CONNER
c;al fishermen a steady market for
their surplus hauls, it is claimed, as
the company does 10 fishing on its
own occount, but buys as the fish are
offered. 1t maintains a sales depot
in New York through which the ac-
cumulations are disposed of.

OVER THE TOP
In PARK DRIVE
Shenandoah County Exceeds Allot-
ment On Re-Drive-Acres Bought
BY All Glasses of Citizens

The intensive campaign in the re-
drive in Shenandoah County for the
Park has been successfully conclud-
ed under the direction of Captain
Morse of Syracuse, N. Y He was
ably assisted by the chairmen in the
several communities.
Now that Shenandoah County has
given the stamp of financial appro-
val to the big park project and other
counties contiguous to the area are
responding to the call it is antici-
pated that all over Virginia an eff
fort will be made to take advantage
of the great opportunity offered the
State.
A National Park in the Shenan-
doah Valley, on the scenic and his
toric highways which tap every sec
ton of the Old Dominion will be the
biggest thing in the industrial and
civic life of the State.
Shenandoah has done her part.
