MIR. Gmmorc,s salt Against Carl sc,rurz

NEW YORK, Jan. &C. D. Gilmore, a
lawyer of Washington, has begun a suit in
the federal courts of the district, against the
Hon. Carl Schurz, ex-secretary of the in
terror, for the recovery of damages for dis
barring him from practice. Mr. Gilmore
says that by reason of such dsbarment he
has suffered great loss, and ho lays his damage
at S3O0000. The answer TO the complaint
has not yet been prepared, The otiense which
resulted in the disbarment was the alleged
payment of money to clerk in the general
land office in the interior department in n
case which the clerk had in hand in which
SIr. Gilmore was interested. Secretary
Schurz referred the matter to board of
commissioners, who took great mass of tcs.
timouy. They found that, while money was
paid by Gilmore TO +. A. Ball, the clerk, not
only in 1875, but previously, it was under
circumstances which forbid the committee to
believe any loan was intended

NUMBER 81.
A Singular Party of Immigrants.


On Monday last, a party of immi-
grants arrived in the city, of make
up quite unusual. The party was
composed of widow named Sarah
Roe, aged 50 years, entirely blind,
pensioner of the war of 1912; her
daughter, also widow, named Mary
L. Moiser, a pensioner of the war of
the rebellion; q daughter OF the last
mentioned, whose name we did not
learn, having three children, the
younge est but two years of age; and
a boy of about thirteen years, whose
father and mother were both dead,
but who was great grandohild of
the oldest woman of the party.
On the 20 Of September last, they
had started overland from Wales,
Erie Co., n. y, and their outfit and
mode of travel consisted of an old
white horse, drawing covered
wagon, followed by two white heif-
ers or young COWS. They had been
since that date on the road, having
passed through Cleveland, O., Chi
cago, H., and Madison, Wis They
were bound for the town Of Butter
nut, Ashland CO., Wis, where the
second oldest woman has daughter,
and owns some land. Like Gideon's
Band, they were "looking for
home.n Their stock was in fair con
ditIon, SO much 50, that in crossing
the Wisconsin Central railroad track,
the old horse became frightened and
broke the bits and some part of the
wagon. Being found in their
trouble by a farmer, he and his fam
lily shared comforts for day or two
with the pilgrims. Their situation
becoming known to ouT people, and
the fact that for about 200 miles be.
fore the town OF Butternut can be
reached, there is no wagon road that
the party could travel, and it being
found that while they had money
sufficient to pay their expenses to
their destination in the way they
had been travelling, yet not enough
to pay their transportation on the
railroad, some of our benevolent
citizens took hold of the matter, Sc
cured favorable terms with the Wis.
Cent. r.. r., in their behalf, and
Others "ehippiug in," raised q sum
Of money sufficient when added to
what The party had, to set them
down by rail in a single day on the
place Of their destination. Had
there been road all the way, it
must have taken them mouth to
make the journey, and that in mid
winter, with no man attending them.
The mother Of the young children,
we understand, has husband, who
expects to join the circle as soon as
he can complete job Of work he
has ON hand at Wales. r. Portage

ABOUT LEAVING School. Power
ty IL often presented as an excuse
for quitting school, but it is used to
shield too many who might, with
earnest effort and due amount of
grit, work their way through school
to a glorious end. In some cases it
is absolutely necessary for the boy
TO leave the school room 10 support
himself and mother, but the fact is
that he more often leaves school to
engage in business that he thinks
will bring him immediate return,
and trusts to chance for the future.
With no stock in trade but beard
less chin, he grasps for fortune
years before he can vote, and, too
young to manage any business, drifts
about the world. Perhaps he sue
ceeds. Many boys do; what then!
Enjoy himself in ignorance? The
world has no charms for him, save
the acquisition Of wealth, aud he
has no pleasure in life, except from
without He possesses no elements
within his nature by which he has
power to be happy, such as he might
have met with a well trained and
cultured mind.
But perhaps he may not have
prospered, and at the age Of twenty
five he finds himself no more than
he started, and worst Of all, with
only the first elements Of an educa-
ton. Too late, he has come to re-
alize that an education alone is en-
during. The majority Of men do
not disagree on this question, but
boys are boys, and by hundreds they
are falling out of the ranks Of school
every year, just for an experiment.
Isn't it time that mature judgment
should come TO the rescue, and, with
the support Of the educated men
and women Of this age, call halt
in these rash decisions of early
youth, and insist on boys remaining
in school long enough, at least, to
complete the course of the public
graded school ?--IUjn0iS School

A MEETING of the Republicans of
this city and town will be held at
the late club rooms on Saturday
evening next (oothl for the purpose
of organizing permanent club, and
to consider the propriety of opening
a free reading room in connection
with the club. We hope there will
be full attendance, and that both
suggestions viii be adopted. If
there is anything this city needs
above another, it is a free reading
room, where our young men can
spend an our or two in profitable

the public saloon and stores for our
boys to visit, and, 10 iaany, both are
distasteful. During the campaign
many young men of all political
faiths visited the Republican mead
quarters and spent an hour or two
pleasantly, and before the disband-
ing of the club it had become an at
ractive resort, and proved the oft
made assertion that such place is
greatly needed in our city. We
hope that there will be full attend.

Beware of ImpoStorS.

BoscoBEL, Dec. l1.--An alleged
manufacturing company Of New
York city adyertises a great bargain
in shotguns, would send $40 gun
for 1915. One of our sportsmen
sent the amount, and after waiting
and corresponding about the matter
for nearly six weeks, went to New
York and called upon the company"
He found, as he had supposed, any.
thing and everything but manu-
featuring company. The whole bus
mess was put-up job to swindle
the public. The gentleman from
this place is man of means and
experience in the world, and one not
at all calculated TO be tritled with by
such fellows. He took with him a
detective and has probably succeed
ed in cleaning out this part of the
gang. Another party has sent a
similar amount on like offer and
has received no gun People should
be aware Of these thieves, and profit
by the experience of their friends
who have tried them.
