GEN. LEES BIRTHDAY
Is Being Celebrated All Over the
South TOddV.

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 19.-Advices
received from many parts of the south
Indicate that the anniversary of the
birth of Robert E. Lee is being celeb
rated today on q more elaborate scale
than for several years past, a fact
which is attributed in q measure to tn g
recent memorable utterances of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the effect of his
words in increasing the veneration of
southern hearts.
In this city the most notable feature
of the observance will be toniRht's re-
ception and banquet of the Virginia
society. Colonel lCharles Marshall of
Baltimore, who was one of General
Lees staff during the civil war, is here
for the purpose of delivering the ora
tion at the banquet.
The commander in chief of the con-
federate army was born in Westmore-
land county, Virginia, and graduated
from West Point military academy in
1929. He entered the Mexican war as
q captain under Gen. Scott and was .
brevetted colonel for his gallant
conduct at the siege OF
wounded. In May 1861, when Virginia
withdrew from the Union, Gen. Lee,
then colonel of the Second United
States cavalry, resigned from the army
and rendered his sword to his state and
was placed in command of the
Virginia troops. In June 1862 he re-
ceived command of the army of North
ern Virginia and began the operations
which compelled Mcclellan to abandon
the siege of Richmond. At the close
of the war Gen. Lee was elected presi-
dent of Washington and Lee universi-
ty at Lexington, Virginia, which posi-
tfon he held up to his death on October

The charge was preferred against
him by John Sundine, the we'll
known Kintire farmer.
The story is that Landon deliv-
cred a portrait to Mr.. Sundine s
house, which Mr.. Sundine or wife
had agreed to accept. Mr.. Sundine
was in the field and Mrs. Sundine
happened to have only 50 in her
possession. This was about half
what the portrait was to cost. She
then told Landon that he might
leave the portrait, without the
frame, accepting 50 in payment of
the former. Landon accepted the
proposition, but Immediately after
he got the 81 he drove out into the
field where Sundine was working,
and pulled him over for the other
81, not leaving the frame. This oc-
Cured last Saturday.
Mr.. Sundine at once came to town

case was finally dismissed on Lam

issue temporary injunction re-
straining the county auditor from
taking such action. Such an in
junction is likely to be granted, and
hence the election will have to be
postponed. In case a temporary
writ is quashed by Judge Powers
an appeal to the supreme court is
likely to be taken-in fact, taken
anyway.
In case the commissioners decide
that the Bird Island petition is an
illegal petition and does not warrant
the calling of an election on the
: same, which majority of the board
would prefer not to call, it is likely
that the Bird Island legal crowd
will rush to Judge Powers and ap-
ply for writ of mandamus compell-
ing the board to call an election on
the petition. This, of course, will
be fought by Olivia, and will be
thrown into the supreme court be-
fore the voters of Renville county
get an opportunity to vote on the
proposition.
In case the Bird Island petition
is finally rejected it is believed that
the list of signers Olivia now has
will be of no use to her, but that
new notices of circulating petitions
will have to be issued, and that the
names will all have to be secured
again.
In the meantime the Beaver Falls
boomers, not many in pointof village
numbers, but scattered we'll over
the south side of the county, are
resting on their hands and knees,
laughing at the fun or fight between
Bird Island and Olivia, and feeling
exceedingly happy that while those
two towns are spending money their
purses are securely locked, and
not susceptible to being touched.

THE FIGHT TODAY.
RenVl1le County Seat Contest Re-
neWed at Beaver Falls.

To-day will be a lively one in
Beaver Falls. The commissioners
of Renville county meet for the pur-
pose of taking action on the petition
Of the Bird Islanders in the Rem
vile county seat contest case. Bird
Island will be on hand with her at
torneys. Olivia, with her retinue
of legal talent, will also be there,
while Beaver Falls is likely to be
represented. Bird Island will have
her boomers. Olivia ditto. and
Beaver Falls will smile at the incom-
ing shekels.
The meeting of the commissioners
is simply called for the purpose of
deciding whether or not Bird Island
has legal petition-as to whether
Olivia has secured enough retrac-
tions from the Bird Island petition,
and whether there are enough
illegal signers on that petition to
warrant the commissioners in
pigeon-holing the little document,
and refusing to call an election on the
same. This is where the legal tai
ent will tell the commissioners a
whole lot of things they may not
know.
The board may be in session one.
two or three days, all depending
upon the time required to 90 over
the Bird Island petition. At the
end of that time it will take action
one way or the other. In case the
Bird Island petition is declared a
legal document they will instruct
the county auditor to call an cleo
tion for the purpose of submitting
the proposition of moving the county
seat of Renville county from Beaver
Falls to Bird Island, to the voters
Iof the county. In this case, the
Olivia legal galaxy is likely to
rush to Judge Powers of Granite

The French appeal courts have dec1d-
ed that a woman of foreign nationality
can be punished in France for adultery.
The decision was rendered in the cele-
brated case of Nine. di Musella, who,
in Febreury last was condemned for
this offense. The names Of Major Pan
izzardi and Captain Dreyfus were
dragged into the trial, which was fol-
lowed by various appeals on the ground
of Nine. Trezza di Mussella being a
foreigner, and, therefore, not liable to
punishment. Now this point has been
decided, further arguments will take
place, and the trial promises to be one
of the longest causes celebres.
