THE response of Miss Annie
Phillips to the address of welcome
by Mary II. Martin upon the as
sembling of the second annual
meeting of the Grand Chapter of
the Eastern Star order at Milwau =
kee last month, is referred to by a
Masonic publication as an address
bearing evidence of careful though t
and preparation, and the same was
highly oomplimented.
AT It's last meeting the common
council passed an ordinance for
bidding the construction of doors,
gates or other structures on prop
erty within the city limits il a
manner that will in any way OBJ
struct public thoroughfares. A fine

No jury has as yet been secured
for the Seibolt lynching case, al
though about four hundred men
have been examined for that pur-
pose. The cost to La Fayette
county is about 500 per day, or to

meet in special session next week,
by request of petition, and instruct
the district attorney to dismiss the
case.

THE effort to secure a jury to try
the lynching case at Darlington has
brought to light, according to
Judge Clementson's decision, the
fact that hundreds of men have
been illegally voting for years.
The Judge decides that naturaliz-
alton papers issued by the clerk Of
court at any place other than his
office at the county seat are worth
