A New Libel Law.

Madison State Journal: The news
papers Of Wisconsin are unanimous
in the demand that a new libel
law be enacted during this session
of the legislature The present law is
discredit to the intelligence and
character of the state. 1t is not a
fair law. 1t makes it possible for
great injustice to be done to news
papers, that have not been guilty Of
any wrong intent. We belevein hold
ing newspapers to a strict response
bility, but they should not be made
objects of spite. If an editor with
apparent malicious intent, ISLANDERS
an individual he should be liable to
severe punishment; but if he makes
an innocent mistake and hurries to
correct it as soon as known, it should
not be IN the power of any of his
enemies to compel him to pay large
damages, nor to annoy him with vex-
atious and expensive litigation. 1t
is unavoidable that, in the hurry OF
issuing daily paper, mistakes
should sometimes occur. Reports
are sent in by telegraph or otherwise,
often just before going to press, and
a paper must publish them, If it
makes any pretension OF giving the
news. If found to be erroneous, and
ample apology is made, this is all
that can be reasonably demanded
We understand that the newspaper
press Of Wisconsin desire to secure a
law similar to the one in Minnesota,
which is AS follows:
"Before any suit shall be brought
for the publication OF libel in any
newspaper in this state, the aggrieved
party shall at least three (3) days b. :
lore filing or serving the complaint in
any such suit, serve notice on the
| publisher or publishers Of said news
paper at their principal office OF pub
! lication, specifying the statements
In the said article which he or they
allege to be false and defamatOry
Ii it shall appear on the trial of said
action that the said article was pub
lished in good faith, that it's falsity
was due to mistake or unsupported.
sion of the facts, and that a full and
fair retraction ofany statement there
in alleged to be erroneous was pub
lished in regular issue of such news
paper, or within three 80 days after
such mistake or misrepresentation was
brought to the knowledge of such
publisher or publishers, in as con
spicuous place and type in sucl
newspaper as was the article com
planned OF as libelous, then the plain
tiff in such case shall recover only
actual damages"

Settling the Nelson Estate

Upon the petition of Mrs. Nelson,
widow of the late John Nelson, and
now administrators of the estate of her
deceased husband, hearing was held
in the county court last Tuesday for
the purpose of determining, as far as
possible, the value of the securities
and other property held by w. T.
Ram busch. administrator of the estate
of John Nelson, at the time of his
| death. Malone & Bachhuber, K. G..
Lewis, of this city, and P. g. Lewis, of
Milwaukee, appeared for the estate /;
H. w. Lander, of Beaver Dam, ap-
peared as guardian ad Item, and G. E.
Hooker, of Waupun, appeared for the
bondsmen. The examination consumed
several hours and all the evidence Of
fered was taken by Court Reporter C.
E. Allen.
The last report submitted by Mr..
Rambusch, as administrator of the
estate, was made in June, 1895, and
showed balance in his hands of 500
44O.S9 Of this amount, less than
81 200 can now be accounted for, and
this amount is in the form Of notes
and mortgages. Six notes, aggregat-
Ing So, 632 40, were found in the pack
age marked Papers in the Nelson
Estate" Two additional notes were
In the same package, one of which it
is claimed has been paid and the other
is the personal note of w. T. Ram
busch for ST ,O00
When the abstract office was attached,
Sheriff Binte took possession Of all

Executor" respectively. The total
amount of all securities attached is
81 1897, and the unattached securities

Human Ingenuity.

Certainly, for the mechanic, human
ingenuity has never produced better
liniment than Salvation Oil, which now
stands unexcelled for curing his sprains
and bruises caused by fall; or cuts
and wounds the result Of an accident
with his tool OF saw. Salvation Oil al
ways kills pain. "Recently, I fell
about twenty feet and was very much
bruised on my leg and side, but after
bathing them with Salvation Oil the
bruises soon disappeared. I think Sal
walton Oil is just the thing for sores
and bruises" A. jacob Rice, $40
Church ST., Easton, Pa. Salvation Oil
may be bought anywhere for Is cents.
Substitutes offered by dealers may cost
less; hence, do less Salvation Oil,
however, never disappoints the user.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER "A, 1907.

THE Democrats are determined to Gust
John W. Green from his seat in the Levy
Court Of Sussex county, and seat VIM. II.
Handy, a Democrat. Yesterday, Attorney
General Robert Z. White fled infor.
nation for quo warranto proceedings.
This is quite a different procedure from
the part the Attorney General took in the
dispute between tho Republican aud
Democratic representatives IN Kent cUun-
ty, when the Democrats stole that county.
But now that the boot is on the other foot
IN the present dispute. the Democratic Of
ficials have at last awaSened from their
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. The contention
10 that Green has not removed his residence
from Scafurd Hundred. The Information
alleges that in 1894 Green was elected
member of the Levy Court from Seatord
Hundred, but that or April 1s,, 1897,
Green removed from Seaford hundred,
that on that date he ceased to be IL resident
and freebooter in Seaforl Hundred and
thence and thereafter the ot1icA became
vacant.
ills claimed by the Democrats that Green
removed into Nanlicoke hundred and
thereby ceased to be a resident Of Seaford
hundred and is therefore not member of
the Levy Court while Green maintained
ut the time and still holds that he has not
removed to Nantiooke hundred as alleged.
The Levy Court refused to recognize the
Governors right to appoint anybody in
Green's place, as his seat in the Levy Court
was not vacant and two persons could not
hold the seat at the same time, from the
same hundred. As the Levy Court forlu-
nately was a Republican body, the Cover
nor's right to appoint WAS not considered
and Green held his seat rs he had II perfect
right to do, having been elected by the
voters of his hundred to the position as
member of the Levy Court Why Attor-
ney General White should now consider it
his duty to appear in this case is something
past finding out. The Kent county mud.
do should have enlisted his help more
than the present "will-o.the-wi,p" case in
Sussex county. 1t puts US in mind Of the
comedy Much Ado About Nothing
But then our Democratic friends in Della
ware are never satisfied, as tile numerous
attempts made by that party to steal the
tlon, has put them on record, which Is
condemned by all right minded, well think

His Nssvoue 6ystsm Wesksniuw Un-
b. dee Sns etrsin u Hb Trial.
Ckseaso, Oct. l4-All OF yesterday
In the LuetGsrt trial was taken up by
Attorney Phalen. who spoke for tho
defense. He made an impassionsd
plea for his client, accused the police
Of intimidating the witnesses for the
defense and denounced many Of those
who had appeared for the state as
perjurers. He declared that the chain
Of circumstantial evidence ON which
Assistant States Attorney McEwan
had dwelt during his address to the
jury was but fragmentary collection
Of distorted facts. He found flaws
without number In the story furnished
by the state, and declared that no jury
composed of sensible men would for
q moment think Of returning q verdict
Of guilty on such evidence.
Luetgert shed tears when at the ad-
Journment of court he took leave Of
his little sons. Early In the day Luet-
CERT showed emotion, and his eyes were
moist at Attorney Phalen pleaded with
the jury to spare his clients life.
Luetgert Is breaking down. This was
the universal verdict of those who have
known and watched the man during
the two months trial. The strain
upon him is great and his nervous
system Ia weakening. The giant sau-
sage maker does not sleep well at
night Of late. The near approach of
the date upon which he will know his
fate has completely upset him. The
attorneys for the defense are Inclined
to sympathize with Luetgert, and I'M
dertook yesterday to criticize Judge
Tuthill for ordering the two small sons
Of the latter removed from the side of
their father.

not Of that Kind calculated to make good
friends between him and the aforesaid
teacher The teacher praised the article.
and was much pleased with it until her
eye struck certain paragraph which said
tho teacher was A-----on wheels.
The boy was called up before tho Com
mittee snd requested to read his compo.
sition. When he came to the obnoxious
parag graph he would without II minutes
hesitation say that the teacher, calling her
by name was tlt best and incest teacher
in the city, and he could not be made read
the composition us he had written 1t. He
WAS expelled from school, and stayed cut
for several weeks AT last the COMMITTEES
