PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF A WEEK State Items of General Interest from Various Sources for tire Benefit of Our Readers. Necedah, \Vis., Sept. I.—Three leopards from Ringling Bros.’ circus menagerie have terrorized the resi dents of the towns of Necedah, Ark dale. New Lisbon, Mauston, Cranbury Center, Babcock and surrounding country for several days. The ani mals escaped from their cage as the cages were being loaded on trains at Necedah. Posses from all of the towns armed with shotguns, rilles and revolvers have hunted the animals for several days. Their first success came when one of the leopards was shot in the barnyard of Peter R. Stivers, three miles south of here, by Henry Samscn of Arkdale. The animal had killed one cow and was crouching for a spring at another when discovered by Samson. Children Kept indoors. Since their escape not a child has been allowed outside the doors of the homes and even the women are afraid to go out at night. Every house, bam and shed in which the human race and the domestic animals are harbored has been doubly locked and barricaded. Firearms which have not been used for years have been cleaned and oiled. Every man, woman and child is on the watch for the dreaded beasts. Frank M. Reid, town chairman of this place, received word that three head of cattle had been killed on the farm of James Williams, north of the village. Reports were received from Arkdale, New Lisbon and Cranbury Center that the animals had been seen prowling in the woods on the outskirts of these places. The same night Dr. G. H. Parham, one of the Necedah posse, sighted the leopards on Frank Hudson’s farm and fired three shots, but missed. In the morning Frank M. West discovered that four of his cattle had been killed. Posse Scores W oods. Although reports were received here that the leopards had been sighted at different places during the night, no one succeeded in getting a shot at them. Thtee cattle were killed on Hudson's farm late at night. William Greenburg and his sons, Morris and Fred, discovered the animals in a stretch of timber west of here. Rein forced by other residents of Necedah, they scoured the woods, but were un successful. From the conflicting reports received it seems that the two remaining leopards were soon in every se< tion if the country and the hunters were com pletely at sea as to the locality which should be searched. The last report received gave the number of cattie killed as seventeen. BANK FILLS VACANCY William Woods Plankinton Director of First National. Milwaukee.

GRANT COUNTY HERALD LANCASTER. WISCONSIN. SEPTEMBER 5. IW6. OUR GREATEST FLEET President Rnosevelt in His Ele ment at a Review of the Sea Terrors. LETS LOOSE HIS ENTHUSIASM De-Lighted with the Scene His Patriot ism Finds Expression. Drenched with Kain and Spray He Only Enjoys His Experience the More Fine Display of Naval Power. Oyster Pay, N. Y., Sept. 4. Ou the watt, s of Long Island sound. wit.i in view of Sagamore Hill, the presi idenl )f the Vnited States reviewed the greatt >t fleet of Vnited States war ships ever assembled. There was a ship of wai for every state, forty-live in all. ranging in size from the mag nificent li‘>.( W-ton Louisiana, just com pleted, to the fleet little torpedo boat, ami the submarines, and including one troop ship and live colliers. In three columns there stretched along the sound twelve battleships, lour armored cruisers, four protected cruisers, four monitors, six destroyers. six torpid.) boats, three submarines, a troop ship and five auxiliaries. Presi lent Is Enthusiastic. In peace paint of spotless white, wreathed in rainbows of flags, ship rails manned “close aboard.” the splen did fleet underwent the ceremony of inspection by the president of the Vnited States. As the Mayflower dropped her anchor at the head of the fleet on the completion of the review the president descended from the bridge, his face wreathed in smiles, and enthusiastically throwing his arms around the shoulders of a group of senators and representatives, ex claimed: “Any man who fails to be patriotically inspired by such a sight as this is a mighty poor American and every American who has seen it ought to be a better American for it.” Knows How to Shoot Straight. The sentiment was echoed enthusi astically by the group around the president. “And you. gentlemen,’’ he said, addressing the naval committed, “are responsible for it. It is your handiwork, and it has all been done within the past ten years. Every one of these ships is a fighter, ami ready to go into action at a moment's no tice. Again, you have shown your wis dom in the appropriations for the tar get practice, for there is where the American navy excels. Our men can shoot, and shoot straight, and therein lies our naval strength and our superi ority.” HE HAS A GREAT DAY Enjoys a Drenching with Rain and Spray—Talks to Marines. President Roosevelt had a great day. It was his day throughout. In going from the pier to the Mayflower in an open launch in the morning he was drenched by rain and spray, and the little launch was tossed about in the roughest manner by the unusual-y heavy sea which the stiff wind kicked up. The moment he put his foot on the deck of the Mayflower, as if by prearranged signal, the rain sudednly stoppt'd ami before the twenty-one-gun salute which welcomed him had been completed the sun was shining. From that time until the review was fin ished not a cloud marred the spectacle. When the Mayflower anchored at its conclusion the clouds gathered again threatening rain, but the weather soon cleared and remained so during the re mainder of the afternoon and evening. Not an incident occurred to interfere with the carefully arranged pro gra mme. I'he weather was too strenuous out in the sound for the hundreds of smaller craft, which tried it ami then ran for shelter, but when the Clay flower reached the head of the column to begin the review, shortly after 11 a. m. the fleet was completely sur rounded by fully 500 boats large enough to weather the blow, and load ed with sightseers to their full ca pacity. The reception and luncheon which President and Mrs. Roosevelt, assisted by Secretary oßnaparte and Mrs. Bonaparte, tendered to the three rear admirals and the commanding of ficers of all the ships after the re view, was a picturesque feature of the occasion. Each officer came aboard in full uni form. receiving the honors of his rank in salutes, ruffles and bugle flourishes. The reception and luncheon occupied an hour, and then the president left the Mayflower with Secretary Bona parte and Secretary Loeb to pay vis its to the three admirals and to the troop ship Yankos, just in with a de tachment of marines from Santo Do mingo, whom tlie president welcomed most heartily, and praised without stint. After these calls the president re turned to the Mayflower, where he remained with his guests during the afternoon and evening. Dinner was served aboard and the illumination of the fleet at nightfall, which was one of the most impressive features of the review, was enjoyed by those on board until late in the evening. The May flower then steamed inside the harbor and the party was put off in launches. Strike Troubles in Hungary. Petroseney, Hungary. Sept. 4. As the result of a collision between troops and striking coal miners here 175 min ers were injured. BRYAN STIRS DETROIT Welcomed by the Mayor and Cheered by Crowds of the People. SPEAKS TO ORGANIZED LABOR Declares for a Shorter Work Day and Gives His Reasons—Wants No “Leisure Class’’ in This Country. Detroit, Sept. 4. —When William J. Bryan arrived with his party of about 100 in Detroit he passed to his car riage through a cheering, applauding crowd, and escorted by the reception committee was driven to the Hotel Cadillac, where Mayor George I’. Cod I delivered a formal address of welcome. Immediately after the reception the party sat down to luncheon, after which it was driven in automobiles to the fair grounds, where a very large crowd greeted the Nebraskan’s ap proach with applause and (beers. Talks to Organized Lab >r. The party was driven to the band stand in the grove, where Bryan was to speak. Nearly all iq the immediate vicinity of the stand bore the mail:*, of the toiler. It was to these Bry an's address seemed directed. After declaring that he was glad of the op portunity t<> take part in 4he exer< isos of Ihe day dedicated to the interests of those who formed so important a part in all affairs of the country's so ciety and government. Bryan said he was impressed during the last few months of his travel-. abroad with an idea in conneeti oa with labor. Wants No Leisure Class. “As I passed through the Orient,” he said. “I found a great gap between those who stand at the top and those at the bottom of the social structure. I returned to my home more than ever believing in the dignity of labor and the importance of cultivating a senti ment among the people which makes them respect more the man who toils than the one who idles in society. I trust we shall never have, in this country, a leisure class, if by that we mean those with nothing to do. I can not conceive any place in a well regu lated society for men or women who have nothing to do.” Favors Short Hours of Labor. Regarding shorter hours of labor Bryan said: ”1 believe in the eight hour day and this is why: I believe that the laboring man is justly en titled to it and that society at large would be better if he had it. * * * He took issue with those who say the laboring man would waste his time if allowed shorter hours. Said ho: “How are you going to know the laboring man will waste his time if you don't give him a chance? Give him short er hours, and I believe forces will b° put to work which will cause him to make the best of his time. The rich man leaves his children a fortune. The laboring man, who cannot hope for jus tic*? under any other government th n that whi< I; believes in the inalienable rights of man can hope to leave hi* children a good government which is better than any fortune. Recognize the laboriu--'* man n »t as a boast of burden, but as a human being.” VIEWS OF JUDGE PARKER Thinks Walsh Has Gone Over to Hearst and His League. Alexandria, Minn., Sept. 4.—Judge Alton B. I’arker came up here Satur day from St. r’aul, where he had been attending the American Bar associa tion meeting, to spend Sunday. The Associated Tress called on him, and showed him a copy of the letter writ ten by Charles A. Walsh to Chairman Taggart. Judge Parker read it very carefully and in reply to a request for his opinion, said: “I hardly feel that I want to dignify Mr. Walsh's letter by construing it or making a formal statement.” “What about the statements he makes about Mr. Sheehan?” “Mr. Sheehan,” replied the judge, “is my partner and my friend, and I know that if be thinks the letter is worthy of comment or answer he is quite ca pable of speaking for himself.” Finally the judge added: Well. I’m out of politics and under those cir cumstances if you care to make a statement as coming from me, you may say this: It looks very much as if the Hearst Independence League has won another recruit in the person of Walsh. He has been an enthusiastic supporter of Hearst for a number of years, and will make a valuable addi tion to Hearst’s party. He has appar ently preferred instead of giving his reason for joining the Hearst party to assign some reasons for leaving the Democratic party. Whether his reason has any justification in fact or not is of no consequence, as he has made up his mind to go. ’ Fatal Trolley Car Accident.
