items in the published statement to
which she objects is that Benjamin
formerly ran the business in his own
name Cmeaning Benjamin B. Iskowich,
her husband )but failed some years ago
and has since operated under cover of
his wife who is not the real owner of
the goods
Another statement which she claims

ran a store at Streeter, Ill, and made
an attempt to remove her goods from
the county for the purpose of beating
her creditors. She claims that because
of these statements of the defendant

HOME INSTITUTION.
Lincoln Now Has a Telephone of It's
Own

Lincoln, Kan, Nov. 18.-The Lincoln
telephone plant is now a home institu-
tion in every sense of the word, as it
has been bought by Mr.. Fred Herman
and Mr. John W. Meek, who will in
future operate it under the firm name
of Herman & Meek.
1t is understood that the considera-
ton given the w. NJ. Reese Construc-
ton company was $500, which gives
them a mighty good thing for their in
vestment. and it is to be hoped that the
people who bought the plant will at
least lose nothing from their venture.
The telephone plant is thus far prov
ing a vast convenience to the Lincoln
public, and as such ought to pay its
home proprietors a legitimate interest
on their outlay of cash.

WELLINGTON AGAINST ExrANs
Maryland senator Criticixes Adminis-
tration's Philippine Policy.

At picnic given by the employees of a
Baltimore piano factory yesterday Senator
Wellington, in a speech attacked the adj
ministration's expansion policy. He said:
we have now reached a momentous
time, one fraught with many critical stu
atoms for the nation. | pray that as a
faithful people We shall not forget the
principles established by our forefathers.
If we would be successful we must not
stretch out the arm of expansion, we must
not go 5000 miles beyond the westward
course Of our power and possessions to
bring in over IL 900 900 Mongolians, who
are lower than any laboring class in this
land. 1 hope the administration will call
a halt.
II hope the lawmakers of this nation will
deal with this crisis bravely and honestly.
This country must leave foreign dominion
alone. Let the lands and the peoples. pos
sessed by bloody conquest, remain to them
selves and free. even as we once fought
and prayed for deliyerance and freedom.
| oppose the policy of expansion. because L
believe it would be a great and perhaps ir-
reparable wrong to the American people
Now let us do this. and we will go onward
and upward, prospecting and powerful.
II say the American government should
call a halt. and more, beat a retreat il
necessary to the honor and welfare of the
people. When this is done, justice will be
done.
I'VE do not need other lands and other
people. We have the great west and the
great south: we do not need more. Let the
people of the west govern themselves ac-
cording to their wishes. Now. my friends,
when you go back to the work bench and
the counting room, go with renewed
sense of honest patriotism and feel that
every good American citizen will do his
duty. Keep this principle ever in your
hearts-the noble pride of protecting from
imperial greed the country where the poor
est of the poor has an honest chance to
labor and live"
