The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. JOHN L. AS REFEREE FORMER GREAT PUGILIST TELLS OF PECULIAR HAPPENING. English and American Fighters Deal Each Other Simultaneous Knockout Blows-American the First to Come Back to Earth. There were four in party, including John L. Sullivan and Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, and the conversation turned to old time faint encounters. John L. was in good spirits and one of the party asked the ex-champion for a story. "Ever hear of a fight I once referred at Harry Hill's years ago?" replied John, clearing his throat. "It's a peach. No? Well, in those days the game was all to the good. There were plenty of comers, all anxious to get a crack at me. I don't exactly remember who the fellow was, but I think he was an Englishman, who had come from over the pond expressly to put the gloves on with me. He was a busky looking guy, with big muscles, and had the reputation of being a killer in his own country. That is, he had a beaut of a right hand that could cure all kinds of insomnia with just one dig if it landed on the right spot. "Well, everything was arranged for us to meet. I was feeling fine that eight, and I was ready to give that duck a leg in the pond. Someone the English pig got cold feet and wouldn't go on. All the percussion in the world had no effect, and he flunked. I was so sore that I made up my mind to knock his block off, even if I did not do it in the regular old-fashioned way. "The guy showed up all right. He came to the place and made a grand stand play that he was in no shap to meet me. He said he wanted to train, but was ready to show what he could do if a substitute could be given. He asked Harry Hill to let him have a chance. So another big man, a felow about the Englishman's own weight, was paired against the mug from over the sea. They were to have it out for four rounds. I promised to meet the Englishman if he was a bit worse, but a bit more. It was a bit sore because the Briton refused to meet me, but I squared matters by consenting to act as referee. "In the first round the Englishman started rough house tactics and had his man on the go. In the second it was the other way, but the foreigner was gritty and stood the walloping fire. The third was a hummer. They punched each other all over the ring. The Englishman was floored twice, but got up gamely and hung on tilt of liking to him for his courage, but in my heart I wished his opponent would cut him up. "The fourth started off with a jump, with the foreigner having all the better of it. He nailed his opponent with both hands, and it was a cinnach that I would be forced to give him the decision. While the scrap was at its height I wished something would happen so that I could give the local man the fight. And something did happen. Quicker than it takes to tell it both went down from right and left. I started to count 'em hoping the local man would come up in time. He didn't move a muscle, neither did the Britsiser. The ten seconds were up and both were still dead to the world. "I was in a fix, and in my mind I was figuring what to do. Fifteen minutes passed and neither fighter showed any signs of coming to. Well, I was puzzled and——" "What did you do? What did you do?" "What did I do?" returned the big fellow with a grin. "Why, I gave the decision to the fellow who got up first. It wasn't the English mug, either." - New York Sun. The Autumn of Life. The leaves, at last, when all is done, Now the anemone, June— The sun of the sun, And softened instre of the moon, The red that rilts in the sun, The bright, fresh brown That tins the leaves are they have gone While they are slowly swaying down. Some lives are like the autumn leaves; The rose-hued memory of youth With the most precious gold of truth And they grow fair, and fairer still— Autumn leaves the beauty of those These lives are perfect to lose. -W. D. Nesbit. Grime in London In 1902 London had less felonies than in 1901. Not a single murder was left unsolved. There were twenty cases of homicide. Sixteen of the perpetrators were arrested and four committed suicide. The total number of persons arrested was 112,205, an increase of 2,671. The chief causes were drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The magistrates summarily convicted 82,960, while 3,087 were tried and convicted at sessions. An interesting fact is that 1,728 identifications were made by 1,728 points. How She Received the Proposal: J. L. Harbour, in his position as one of the editors of The Youth's Companion, handles many manuscripts from aspiring young authors which appeal strongly to his sense of humor. He says that the gem in one such manuscript is the rejection of a proposal which the author described in these words: "She refused the man carefully and disdainfully, and slipped his arm." FOILED BY HIS OWN TRICK Jeker Rushed to See Accident He Hac Invented. Strangers in New York always notice and comment on the childuke curiosity of the crowds on Broadway. New Yorkers will stop and look at anything, from the hoisting of a safe to the uplifting of a fallen horse, and they chase fire engines like boys. An incident of this sort is reheated by one of the older bankers in Rufus Hatch, who found there was a little restaurant down town where the men of finance took luncheon. Hatch was in a hurry. There seemed to be no chance. So he said to the man in charge, loud enough to be heard all over the small room: "Terrible accident down at the Battery." "What?" asked the manager. "Full-rigged ship has just gone down in the channel, with a lot of people on board." There was an immediate rush for the door. Tables were deserted, and the men who were eating ran pell-mell down Broadway. Hatch chased them. Then he paid his check and went out. The street was full of people running toward the Battery. "What's the matter?" asked Hatch. "Ship gone down with a lot of people on board!" gasped the runner. "Gracious!" shouted the man. "Is this the I must see that," and he, too, ran down the street, hoaked by his own heaq. Philadelphia Post. WHEN UMBRELLAS WERE NEW. "Joe" Chamberlain Tells Good Story on Green Farmer Joseph Chamberlain, in one of his recent tariff reform speeches, told a new umbrella story. Mr. Chamberlain wished to point out that ignorance was to blame for much of the censure that had been attached to his tariff reform scheme. He said: "Why, my friends, many of my opponents are as ignorant of my proposition as was a certain farmer, many years ago, of the umbrella. "This farmer had made a journey of some twenty miles on foot to a small town. As he was about to set off for home again a hard rain came up, and his host loaned him an umbrella—a novelty at the time—opening it himself so as to save his friend all possible damage. "A week later the farmer took the umbrella back. The weather was bright and fine, but he held the instrument open over his head. "This contrivance, he grumbled, in more trouble than it's worth. There wasn't a doorway in the village I lived in, and I had to tell it all the week in a field." The Bulk That Won't Come Off. She frankly confessed to the young man who poses the patrons of a fashionable photograph gallery upown that she was too stout, and that she was not a model, and becoming apparent in her photographs. She asked him to devise some side position so that her hair, in a three-quarter length, should appear about half their actual size. He promised; but when he got his head under the cloth and peered through the lens the task did not seem so easy as he had expected. He had too many skirts on, madame," he said. "Better take them off. One will do. There is no danger of your taking cold here." She flushed. "I have only one skirt on," she answered, "Go on with your work." "But what's all that around here," persisted the photographer, making a wide sweep with his hands around and below the hips, "What's all that?" "That's me, young man," snapped the woman, "that's what that is. Just me. And if you can tell me any way to take 'that' off I just wish you'd do it. If not, go on and get your photograph before I make up my mind to go somewhere else."—New York Press, Silence. Iaudible move day and night. And noiseless grows the flower; Silent are pulsing lights of light; And voelessless fleets the hour.

The deepest love is voeless, too; Her heart is not weak; How slimy the zephyr when they woo How calm the rose full blown!

The average American in the Philippines makes sorry work of the Spanish language; but the Spaniards also save difficulty in mastering English. A Detroit woman opened a Manila paper the other day, and saw the following advertisement of a prominent Spanish dry goods house that caters to American trade: "Importing house receiving by all mails from Europe. The highest novelties in weavings of allies and linen. Hats, and all sorts of Adorning for ladies and children. A complete assortment of all kinds of goods for gentlemen." THE APPEAL.

"I think that to him who makes the discovery of a cure for cancer a statue should be erected in every capital of the world." So wrote King Edward of England, in 1901, and doubtless now Emperor William of Germany would add his hearty second to this statement. The royal households of both countries have been thrown into fear that the head might be discovered to be afflicted with that disease. And it may be that some scientist will come forward before long as a just claimant for this statue. Since 1792 hundreds of earnest and devoted men have been giving their lives to a study of the disease in the hope that this study may bring forth a cure. Up to the present time have not succeeded, despite the fact that many thousands of cases have been dealt with. By the use of electricity, however, it is hoped to accomplish in the next few years what the last two centuries have not been able to do. With grim persistency the doctors work at their experiments, not dismayed by failure, and electricity now plays a prominent part in the work of alleviating suffering from the disease. The history of the electrical treatment of cancer dates back but a short time. It was found that for various skin diseases, such as wounds, ulcers and aneurysms, the X rays were highly beneficial, so it was determined to conduct a long series of experiments with not only the X rays but the Finsen light, and a high frequency voltage of 120,000 as well. These are now in progress. Indirect announcements have greatly raised false hopes in the hearts of the dying ere now, so too much must not be expected from the July report of the cancer research committee. The eminent specialists concerned have strained every nerve to get results. But in an official report is found one powerful sentence: "No honest research can be carried out for long without the securing of some new knowledge." The laboratories are under the direction of Alex. Foulleton, F. *L.* C. S., and are equipped with the latest marvels of electrical science. During the high frequency treatment the patient sits in an ordinary chair and is exposed to the electric shock part by the physician. The glass tube is the medium by which 120,000 volts are conveyed to the patient. Strangely enough 120,000 volts, when the tube is held an inch away from the hand, hurt the patient, but when the glass tube is held next the flesh nothing whatever is felt. Sometimes the current is given through sheets of lead placed over the cancerous surface. When the patient undergoing high frequency treatment becomes, under certain conditions, charged with FUNNY SH The Bear. Pick. Responsible Jurors. Judges Rechtel and Shay of Pottsville, Pa. have become tired of the unique—in some cases even absurd—verdicts returned by juries in the Schuylkill county court. With a view of preventing further miscarriages of justice, they have joined with the jury commissioners in selecting names to be put in the wheel for next year. Two thousand citizens are selected for jury duty, and the judge picked out nearly 700 names selecting only those who in their best judgment are likely to see that exact justice is done in all cases. Honey a Valuable Food. Honey is a valuable medicine and has many uses. It is excellent in most lung and throat affections, and is often used with great benefit in place of cod liver oil. Occasionally there is a person with whom it does not agree, but most people can learn to use it with beneficial results. Children who have natural appetites generalize prior it to butter, cheese, and soda, and in diseases of the bladder and kidneys it is an excellent food. TREATING CANCER PATIENTS BY MEANS OF THE X RAYS HOW THE HIGH FREQUENCY TREATMENT IS APPLIED a tremendous amount of electric fluid. A knuckle brought them, the coat sleeve results in a brilliant spark. The patient's boots burst into a forest of waving myriad branches if a hind be held near it. A Gelsier glass tube glows with a soaring light when held a foot or so from the body. The sensation of holding the open palms in proximity to the "charged" person can best be realized as resembling the heat given forth from a glowing fire with mild electric shocks taking the place of warmth. The Finson light is an are light of 1,000 candle power, given through a lens. This is placed and near the ground as the specialists deem necessary. X rays have undoubtedly checked the growth of cancer, and pain has been alleviated. Say the patient is suffering from a growth in the face. He enters a dark room, sits in a chair, the physician manipulates for a moment or two a couple of long pointers, there is a crackling sound as the connection is made, continuous stream of electric sparks passes from one point to the other, a switch is jerked, and suddenly a large and powerful green light shines from an inch or so on the patient's face. It is then seen that the green light is suspended from a tripod in the center of the room. This is connected by ADOWS CAST BY FU The Ostrich. The Jackass "Queer "Smokes." In the Philippines the use of tobacco is universal. The native child acquires the tobacco habit as soon as it is able to walk. In the northern provinces especially it is no uncommon sight to see a child five or six years old puffing vigorously at a big cigar. The women smoke fully as much as the men, and commonly smoke cigars where the men use cigarettes. In the northern parts of Luzon immense cigars, often a couple of feet long and as thick the wrist, are used. Such a cigar is suspended from a ratter of the house by a string, and smoked during the day by all the members of the family as desired. The best teeth are those that are even and not too small, but rather regular and of a creamy whiteness. Blue-white teeth denote weak mental powers, and teeth that are very dark usually tell of a poor state of physical health. But the cream-white teeth of medium size set regularly in the mouth in a nice even row, are the best teeth of all to have. wires with the battery at the side. The patient does not finch, but from the smile of satisfaction on the doctor's face it is evident that the X arms are doing good work. Quite recently a cablogram from Australia announced the glid tildens that a case of cancer in Queensland had been cured by the use of molasses. Whether this report is true or not remains to be proved. However, the Middlesex hospital authorities, who are the pioneers of cancer research in Great Britain, have accepted the offer of some molasses for experimental purposes. Disposing of London's Swan Disposing of London's Sewage. The average Londoner is probably unaware that nearly 500 miles of sewers are situated beneath his feet, and this is one of the reasons so large that a number of boats could float down them abreast, says a British paper. And some idea of the enormous cost of draining London may be gathered from the fact that the drainage work and machinery alone cost $40,000,000. A thousand men are employed all the year round in keeping London properly drained, and the stupendous total of sewerage that is actually treated every 12 months and taken away in sludge vessels to the north.

It seems probable that the tailless Manx cats originally came from Cornwall. They managed to survive longer as a distinct breed in the Isle of Man than in Cornwall, the predominance of the common tailed cat being, of course, aided in the latter district by the fact that, although remote, it is part of the mainland of England, whereas new cats could be carried to the Isle of Man only by sea. The Manx cat which first attracted modern attention was a very different animal from the manx, and now take prizes at cat shows. It was always of the color of a hare and had fur like a hare. Like a hare, too, it always moved its legs together. Its chief food was crabs caught on the beach and when transported inland from the seacasts it very seldom, if ever, survived long. No cat of this kind has been seen for many years in the Isle of Man, though there are plenty of talless cats, its crossed descendants, to be purchased there. Wherever it originally came from, the Cornish or Manx cat was more nearly a manx, and its fur was shown cat now existing. It was a seacost animal, with fur, color, absence of tail and method of locomotion obviously adapted by the inheritance of ages to its habit of catching crabs and other small life behind the ebbing tide. THE SOUTH AFRICAN BAOBAB. Tree Said to Attain Age of a Thou sand Years. Most of the timber of the South African interior consists of various kinds of thorny acacia, one of the handsomest of which is the spreading giraffe acacia, or kameel-doorn. Here and there is to be seen the gigantic baobab, invariably called by the colonists the "cream of tartar" tree. These enormous trees are found in the low velvet. Their timber - if timber it can be called - consists of a soft sponge, which is effected after submitting its fibers to due soaking and a heavy pounding. No harm is done to the tree by this stripping of the bark; indeed, the baobab seems to defy time and all other kinds of enemies. It is one of the most-lived vegetables in the world, and a well-spread men is estimated by scientists at a height of at least 1,000 feet. A fair-sized baobab will measure at a height of three feet from the ground as much as eighty-five or ninety-feet in circumference. The roots sometimes extend forty or fifty yards from the trunk.

"Well, "was the answer, "you have claimed Chaucer, Milton, Spencer, Wordworth, Byron and most of the others; I suppose you'll be claiming Shakespeare as Scotch." "Weel," said the fool, "you allow there's a prince feces case for that; you allow he and intellect enough!"

IS A PRISON CHILD PATHETIC HISTORY OF LITTLE ALMA GREASON Born in Jail at Reading, Pa., she is the Pet of All Who Know Her—Her Mother and Reputed Father Under Sentence of Death. Alma Greason of Reading, Pa., is a child with a strange history. She has never been outside walled walls, she has half years old, and her mother and her reputed father are in now the same jail under sentence of death. Alma is dark skinned, bright and attractive and she speaks two languages—English to the prison visitors and the Pennsylvania German dialect to her mother. Being a pet of the jail, the child is daintily dressed and has the run of the prison. She spends an hour downstairs with the warden's family and she needs a second time to watch with the death watch in charge of her convicted mother. In all her jail liberty she is never permitted to see Samuel Greuer, her reputed father, in another part of the jail. Greauer is a negro. Alma's mother is white. The murder of which the two were convicted was that of the woman's husband. The story of this prison child's life is unusual, even in criminal history. Her complexation at birth was to determine the life or death of her mother. John Edwards, the husband of the woman, was a white laborer in the quarries of Stonchur. Being out of work and shiftless, he failed to support his wife, Kate, and their children. Greauer, a laborer and money. When he saw Mrs. Edwards' children going barefoot outside her provided money for their needs. In this time, her mother came to have fully felt towards him. The suspicions she were finally aroused. He accused his wife of having been unfaithful and declared that if the child soon to be born was black he would murder her. Now Mrs. Edwards is a dark skinned woman. It was evident, therefore, that whether her husband's suspicions were well founded or not, the complexion of the child might cost her her life. It was time before the child was born, in July, 1901, there was a party at the Edwards home. Edwards drank a great deal of beer. The next day his body was found in the cistern near the house. He had been struck on the head with some blunt instrument while sleeping on the porch after the party. Mrs. Edwards told a variety of stories about his death and finally she accused Gresson of being concerned in the case of convicted of murder in the first degree. The child was born in prison. As has been said, she has a dark skin, and they christened her Alana Gresson. Her reputation has never seen her. Thrice Greason has been repreened. Churches, Sunday schools and exeewalks have raised money to pay his lawyers to save him from the gallowls. He declares that he was not at the Edwards home on the night of Edwards' murder. He says he does not know who killed him, but the theory of his friend is that the wife and her closest daughter alone know the story of the death of Edwards. He is generally believed that Edwards was murdered because it was shocked that the child would be locked and that he would carry his threat to kill his wife. And while Greason and Mrs. Edwards are growing fat in the shadow of the scaffold the little child is joyously prattling about the prison corridor: by day and sleeping in the bosom of her mother by night in a cell. Some say the child will grow up in the jail and never leave it. If the love that is shown for Alna continues developing, it will be very hard to part with the child in the years to come, when her parents have paid the penalty of their crime.

THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE. The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago built a special school for African-American children, and number of others refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the nearest public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for mandation against it was in Bibb's name against the officials. The suit has been to the appellate and supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal has been taken to the state supreme court. Money will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois ought to furnish it. Appeal will give $10 to start the fund. How much will you give, kind reader? --- Congressman Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs, Iowa, is deserving of the thanks of all lovers of law and order for his action in dispersing the thieves who attempted to break in the jail for the purpose of lynching George Williams and Neely Zimmerman, who were incarcerated there charged with criminal assault upon Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Mrs. Stark, two white women last Friday when the brutes may be guilted for their actions. If they are incarcerated as they should be, but not by a web of men equally as brutal as their incended victims, Let the guilty wretches be bung, drawn and quartered if you please, let the punishment be administered legally, affect the administration legally, not otherwise The Order of St. Luke has presented to Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president of the St. Luke Bank, a new victoria with a pair of black horses. The recipient of this handsome gift is the only Afro-American head of a financial institution. The horses are exactly matched in color and size. The carriage seats four and is provided with robes and coachman's livery, plated harness and whip. The bank was established a few months ago and the deposits the first day amounted to $75,000. The United States is by many persons regarded as the leading country in the matter of publishing books and pamphlets, yet statistics show that our country is sixth on the list. Germany leads with 26,609; Japan is second with 21,255; and surprising as it is that France makes good this year with 14,855; makes good this year with 19,975; and the United States with an output last year of 7,933. Perhaps we have quality to offset mere numbers. With the last issue, dated Dec. 25th, the American Baptist of Louisville, Ky., completed its 25th year and celebrated its "Silver Anniversary" by issuing its first edition, containing a fine history of the public schools of the Falls City. The edition was printed on fine paper, was filled full of fine portraits of fine people; in fact the whole edition was a fine success of a work and hope he will live long and prosper. "Physically and spiritually the Afro-American is the equal of us all. I can see nothing but a bright and colorful world. He is allowed to assume the responsibility and capacity of labor of every citizen." W. bourke Cockran spoke these words in a recent address in New York City, and the sentiment was heartily applauded by an aristocratic audience. The finest specimen of the "art preservative of all arts" which came to our sanctum this Christmas was the "Greater Seattle Edition" of The Seattle Republic. It contained 28 pages and four-page cover, and was filled with cuts and illustrations and print designs on a beautiful edition, and we extend hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cayton upon their unqualified success. --- The New York Herald and Chicago Tribune continue to receive special copyright cablegrams about the growing color line in Europe. The latest is a story about a black man causing a government railway uniform. These two papers are not satisfied with the trouble they have caused the Afro-American and seem to be trying to start a color line where none exists. Charles Nelson, a Caucasian who was accused of criminal assaulting an elderly old woman, Josephine Edwards, was acquitted at Suffolk, Va. The defense lawyers emphasized the argument that the prosecution was instituted through prejudice. How many innocent Afro-Americans have been arrested on trumped-up charges, through color prejudice? The death of Mrs Alexander Sullivan, an editor writer on the Chicago Chronicle, takes away a good friend of the race. It is said that the many strong editorials in defense of the Afro-American, which have appealed to the Chronicle during the past two years, were all written by Mrs. Sullivan. The shrewdest men in the Democratic party are racking their brains to evolve some scheme which will answer the temporary purpose of an attack which will refract the Afro-Americans of Maryland, without affecting white men, but so far without success. We are almost struck dumb by the terrible Iroquois Theatre horror, in which more than half a thousand lives were lost. Our very souls go out in sorrow and sympathy we have behind. May God in his mercy give them strength to bear their burdens. The Tazewell ( Va.) Republican, a Caucasian journal, says that amalgamation is a violation of the laws of God. If the illegal amalgamation of white men and Afro-American women, in the South, is referred to we guess he is right. --- London is growing cool to promoters. The fact that during 1902 no less than 1,629 companies became insolvent, involving a total loss to subscribers of $321,352,207 explains the reason. "We'll hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree" was sung recently by the members of a torchlight brigade which marched to a Democratic ward convention in Knoxville, Tennessee. There is so much money in the treasury that it will be possible to make payment in the canal without issuing bonds. That's Republican prosperity. Rosevelt will have no contest for for the nomination next June. There is a slight opposition, but by the time the convention meets it will have vanished. Haiti, the Negro republic, is not excused by any country in beauty or in the variety and richness of its products. And now the mobs which started after Afro-American in, Indianapolis are after foreigners. Ere long they'll attack the domestic Caucasian.

Mr. Mitchell states that at the beginning of the story of the strain from the inside, Mr. Mitchell takes at this time by the operators, the workers, and that if energetic action had been taken at this time by the operators, the history of the strike and the story of how victory was snatched from defeat is told graphic and eloquent manner by the author.

It cost Lila Murphy sixty days in the workhouse Tuesday to express her opinion of Judge Holt in open court. She was arrested upon a charge of being a woman of the town and the court sentenced her to sixty days in the workhouse. This seemed to anger her, and as she turned to go back to the "bull pen" she expressed her opinion of the court in terms less elegant than expressive. Her tone was loud enough to reach Judge Holt's ears and he promptly added sixty days more for contempt, so she will have to spend the next 120 days at the workhouse. TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

"I know of the bravery and character of the Negro soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say to many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. The Negro soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 400, 000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."—President Roosevelt. Why He Gave Thanks. Recently, when Edmund Clarence Stedman was visiting in New England, he was called upon by the head of the house while at dinner to invoke the divine blessing. "I was rather surprised, and for half a minute sorely tempted," said Mr. Stedman, in relating the incident. "Then I rose to the occasion and asked a grace which I remembered." "But, Mr. Stedman," asked a young lady of the party eagerly, "to what were you sorely tempted? "To do as Charles Lamb did under similar circumstances." "And that was? "He looked about the board and then asked in surprise: 'Is there no clergy man present?' The host shook his head. Then Lamb prayed: 'For this and all other mercies, O Lord, make us truly thankful.'"—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Husband Too Extravagant. Because he spent $7.50 in maintaining his family for two weeks Mrs. Carl Bucholz, who earned the money, tied her husband with a clothes line, sent in a call for the police and beat him until the officers arrived. In Justice Mahoney's court she contended to charge him with larceny as bailie, but she changed her orderly conduct. "Enough," said Justice Mahoney, "to hear the evidence." "The man who could keep house on $7.50 for one week, let alone two, ought to have a gold medal." Mrs. Bucholz and her husband then locked arms and left the station.

Heiskell, the Afro-American football player and athlete at Northwestern University, was practically forced to leave the college and Evanston in disgrace through an error on the part of the University faculty. According to the faculty of Northwestern University the student was the man who, one night two weeks ago, attacked and insulted Miss Edna Bronson, daughter of Professor Solon C. Bronson and one of the most prominent coeds in last year's senior class. Heiskell was arraigned before Dean Thomas F. Holgate and practically told to sever his connection with the university. The following day he left Evanston and went to his home in Tennessee. Now the Evanston police declared that the university faculty in holding Helskell responsible for the attack upon Miss Bronson had made a grave mistake. The police say that the guilty man is a resident of Evanston, and is known to them. They expect to find him soon. "I am not positive that Helskell is the man who attacked me," said Miss Bronson last night. "I can identify the real person. I newer saw Helskell."

THAT'S THE BUTTER MILTON'S STAR BRAND BUTTER THE beginning of our Famous STAR BRAND BUTTER Is in the selection of herds and the care of the milk on the farm; then a critical inspection of the milk at our skimming stations, doubtful quality cream doesn't go into the "Star Brand" vat. The result of this extra care, at the beginning, is a pure and EXTRA fine flavored butter. Since we began making "Star Brand" in 1888, nearly every store in town has an "Extra Brand" of butter; the paper cap is all the extra there is to it. Grocerymen and butchers don't make butter—they have it shipped from some outside creamery and repack it into jars or prints—consequently comes to you second-handed. Buy our "Star Brand," and you have the freshest, purest and best butter possible. Packed in 2, 3 and 5 lb. jars right from the churn. MILTON DAIRY CO., COR. 9TH and WABASHA STS.
