s.Woodie" is very thorough going

Sam Roby, the erstwhile way
ward resident of Dodge COZ nty, who,
it will be remem bered, got himself
bauly tangled up by cashing check
of questionable origin at the Mer-
chants bank, is once more in trouble
out in Nebraska. He is under arrest
on a charge of swindling, having, it
is alleged, borrowed $3.50 from an old
gentleman to whom he gave worth
less deed of farm as security. Com
menting on the transaction, The York

The second lecture of the series
on The Men Who Made the Nation"
was given by Prof. Sparks at the high
school auditorium Friday evening be-
fore a very large audience. The
speaker in his discourse covered that
period of American history made IA
nous by the tireless efforts of tie great
commoner, Henry Clay, toward i'm
| provement and advancement, marking
the settling OF the Middle West, which
is today perhaps the most progressive
section of our country. Prof Sparks
gave an interesting account of histori-
cal events and his hearers followed
him closely to the end.
In the event of Henry Bieber, our
eficinet city clerk, who has grown
gray in his long service to the city,
retiring from official duties at the end
of his present term, the friends of H.
j. Traeumer are talking of starting
boom for him for the position. Mr.
Traeumer is popular and active
young man, excellently qualified,
through his association with municipal
matters in Milwaukee before his re-
moval to this city, to meet the require
ments of the position, and it is
thought he would receive general sup
port, irrespective of politics. How
ever, Mr.. Bieber can without doubt
be reelected should he so desire.
We have before us the January
number of The Horse Show Monthly,
an illustrated journal devoted to horse
interests, in which two excellent illus
trations of Emil Seibel's famous Shet-
land ponies are shown. The photos

produced were taken at the time Of

the other the four black ponies hitched
abreast to the carriage driven by Mrs.
Seibel in the floral parade. The
Monthly says that ''Mr. Seibel's pom
les are of quality that bespeaks care
full selection and breeding from i'm
