THE Kelley law which provided that
the counties of the state might send
inebriates to a Kelley institute to be
cured of alcoholism, has been declared
invalid by the state supreme court.
The test case came from Milwaukee in
the form of an appeal from the decision
of the Circuit court which was favor
able to the Wisconsin Kelley institute
in the suit brought against Milwaukee
county for $3.50 for the treatment e a
patient committed to the institute by
the County court under the laws. The
contention of the county attorney was
that the law provides liability for the
county and indirectly taxed the citizens
this was therefore void. The court
concurred in that opinion.

Her employers were willing to give the
boy work this summer at the store,

WAS UP TO THEIR GAME.


He Got the Best Of Chicago Confidence
Men.
Robert Luster was prepared to meet
Chicago confidence men when he ar
rived at the Polk street station recently
from his home in San Francisco. He
met some before he got out of the sta
tion, and when they invited him to
take a drink he assented. The conf
dence men took him to saloon at Thir-
ty-frst and State streets. A dice game
was introduced. Luster did not bet
heavily enough to suit the confidence
men, and they taunted him with hav-
ing little money. Luster showed a cham
ois bag containing four $50 GOLD
pieces. When he put this back in his
pocket, man entered who said he was
policeman and arrested Luster ON q
charge of gambling. He took him from
the saloon and when block away said
to Luster:
Here, you seem to be a good fellow,
and hate to lock you up. Just give me
that chamois bag and I'll let you CO."
"I'll do it rather than be disgraced,
said Luster, and he handed the alleged
policeman a chamois bag.
When Luster told Lieutenant O. 'Brien
Of the transaction, he said, II was pre-
pared for him. and gave him cham
ois bag all right, but it had only four
silver dollars in it,"

saloon, was locked up at the Cottage

having disappeared and come into view
again, the question was repeated,
"what city is that2" and the reply as
before, was, Ithaca" Again there
was disappearance and again the city
put in an appearance. "What city is
that?" was asked for the third time,
