Modern WoOdmeu Win.

La Crosse dispatch Judgment C. CIR
cult court in the case Of Loeffier against
the Modern Woodmen of America, has
been affirmed by the Supreme court.
This means victory for the Woodmen.
1t is test case, and of more than local
interest. Mr.. Loeffler joined the Wood
men, and afterward became interested
in the Elliott Loeffier company, whole
sale liquor dealers. Subsequently by
law wss passed by the order, excluding
certain classes of persons from becom-
ing members, including whole sale liquor
dealers. For some three years after
this they continued to receive assess
ments from Mr.. Loetfier, and at about
the end of that time refused him the
rights and privileges of membership in
the order. Mr.. Loeffler then brought
an equitable action, in the nature of q
specific performance, to compel the or
der to recognize him as member. The
Circuit court decided that he could not
do this, and the Supreme court has af-
frmed it.

fourth termism. Now as then, we con-
slider it bad precedent to establish.
Mr.. Babcock evidently has changed his
mind.
Notwithstanding the fact that it does
not favor his denomination, the CENSOR
is unwilling to withhold from Mr.. Bah
cock its appreciation of his services as
an accommodating, average congress
man, although most decidedly not en-
dorsing his votes on some important
questions which effect the people as a
whole. He has been obliging and
prompt in response to oil correspond
ence OF his constituents. He has looked
after pension and other matters with
commendable care. These things he has
done courteously, and precisely as other
representatives have done in the past
and will do in the future. In this ar
duous work he has been favored over his
predecessors. AT government expense
he is furnished clerk to look after
these matter, as are oil congressman.
Ii these facts are true, and we hope
to be corrected if they are not, then
what claim will be advanced to make it
plain that long established precedent
should be broken in Mr.. Babcock's case
We await an answer.

Private Bert Smith Writes from Chicka-

Interest Concerning the Boys in the
South.
LYLE, Ga. June 10, 1898.
EDITOR CENSOR: Thought [ would
drop you few lines in regard to our
camp. So far the regular routine in
camp life remains unchanged as to
regular drills and practice, and the boys
are enjoying much needed relief from
the excessive heat OF few weeks past
Last Sunday dawned clear and bright,
but about 10 o'clock clouds began to
raise in the west and terrific thunder
and lightning were followed by heavy
rain and wind. 1t continued until late
at night. We have had showers almost
every DAY until Thursday, which was
clear and cool, effording very much
better air and a refreshing from con-
tInued heat. The boys have pretty
generally regained their health and
strength on the better rations afforded
the past few weeks end are, with the
exceptions of a few, free from sickness.
Vaccination is responsible for some ILL
ness, few having very sore arms. Ed
Perham, who came here from your town,
has been sick in the division hospital,
but day before yesterday we saw his
smiling face among the boys in the
company street. His illness was due to
vaccination and sore throat, which
affects many in the camp.
The Second battalion enjoyed days
outing on Wednesday, of last week,
which proved to be one of history in the
minds of those who went along. Cap
tain Mccoy conceived an idea of giving
the men an opportunity to visit the
various points of interest where our
forefathers fought on the two memoir
able days of '63. Two guides were Sc
cured and they proved to be interesting
takers and familiar with every point
and incident OF the fierce struggle
thirty five years ago. One was Union
survivor OF the battle, member OF the
Fift:eth Ohio; the other Confederate
who fought under Gen. Bragg, all
through the campaign. We had a
chance to hear both sides of the story.
