r1rS. Hawks Wins.

On Monday Judge Dick, of the
Dodge county circuit court, notified
the interested parties that he had
come to a decision in the case of
Annie Hawks VS.. William I. Slight,
which was tried last May. The
decision is in favor of the plaintiff
and judgment will be entereda against
Mr.. Slight according to the prayer of
the complaint. Harlow Pease is at
torney for the plaintiff, while Stubborn,
Luse & Ellis, of Madison, and j. E.
Malone, of Juneau, are the defend
ants counsel. It is said that the case
will be appealed to the supreme court.
The action grows out of the will of the
late John I. Slight, father OF the con-
testing parties. AS legacy to his
daughter he ordered that the son pay
her $4,000, the son as his share to
have the 160-acre farm in the town of
Emmett which he occupies. William
t, Slight set up the claim that the
farm was already his by gift from his
father twenty years prior to the lat
ter's death, and refused TO pay over
the $4,000. It was to recover this
amount, with interest. that Mrs.
Hawks brought suit.

HISTORY OF A METEOR.
1t Was manufactured by a Desperate
Editor and Is Now Regard
ed as Truth.

Speaking of shooting stars" said
an old reporter. "if you will turn to any
encyclopedia, of the great aerolites
that have bumped into the earth you'll
find an entry something like this:
Huge meteoric stone, weight approXi-
mately ton, fell near Fort Stanton,

didn't land in exactly the vicinity of

other things, was Off on his regular

was truthful man normally, but cir
cumstances and jags over which he had
no control had rendered him desperate,
so when the foreman bawled 'copy!'
for the 'steen hundredth and sixth
time, he grabbed pad of paper, and
the meteor, which afterward became so
celebrated, began falling at the velocity
Of about page every four minutes. 1t
fell on the cabin of an humble Mexican
herder, smashed the whole family as
fiat as pancakes and filled the heavens
for miles around with what the night
editor called 'baleful illumination

the paper through that night, and
scored a wild, up1 oarious, undreamed-
of hit. 1t was copied all over the coun-
try, was discussed by the. yard in scien-

The Fight VIII Go On.

1T is to be hoped that the cam
paign of this year will be the last in
which there will be even an excuse for
continuing the existence of the
league"
The above extract is from one of
the gold trust papers and it refers
to Shylock league which calls
itself the Sound Money League .
The hope expressed in the above ex-
tract has been indulged in by the
Shylock class since the DAYS of Alex
ander Hamilton, who organized the
sound money" movement by estab-
fishing United States bank. The
opposition will not cease because the
last piratical bill called the sour
rency" bill has been passed. The
fight will go on till that act is re-
pealed and Uncle Sam ordered to do
the banking and issue the money in
place of Shylock.-Midland Journal.

refuge in the house on the shores of Turtle
bay, and they had thus far eluded capture
by retreating by day to the concealed quar-
teTs before described.
From there Ames had proceeded to
Stryker (another link in the chain of secret
patriots), hoping through him to find the
means of getting to the Jersey shore or
above the lines at Kingsbridge; but partly
through the fact that all points of possible
escape were doubly guarded, and partly
through the adventure caused by my going
to the Dove, he could obtain no help from
the innkeeper. However, as he had further
protected his sister by starting Lowney's
companion, the trooper, on false scent to
the northward, and had ended the days of
the tory blackleg himself, his errand could
hardly be considered fruitless.
The only remarkable point in the Sc
quence of events that had brought us all to-
gether was that l should have met rex"

| The details of their escape and recital of
my own adventures were given as we re-
galed ourselves with hasty meal in a room
beneath the attic. Though solid shutters
were over the windows, they were further
protected from any gleam of light straying
outward by hanging of sheets nailed to
the casing. This closeness made the heat

matter, and was almost forgotten as

GOVERNMENT BANKING.
The Most Important Reform Measure Ad
vocated aud the True Solution of
the Money Issue.

If we could have but one measure of
reform adopted we would choose gov
ernment banks. Then all the money
lending would be done by the govern
ment. Then interest on money would
never make a millionaire; it would
not concentrate the wealth of the ma
tion in the hands of the few. Look
at compound interest table and you
will see that small sum at interest
will in a few generations amount to
billions of dollars. 1t is only ques-
ton of time, and not very long time
either, when through interest practi-
cally all the wealth of the people of
this country will be in the hands of a
very few people. Government banks
could receive the deposits of the peo-
pie and loan them out and in this way
let money to everybody that could
assume repayment. The interest
would not need to be more than two
per cent. n year. and at this rate the
banks would be so profitable that it is
question whether any taxes at all
would be necessary. Capital (ready
money! and labor would thus be
brought together. Interest would in
effect be distributed among all the
people. "All this is true," we imag-
inc we hear somebody say, "but with
the increase of government officials
the party in power would be hard to
beat Not so hard as now. So far
no party out of power has ever been
able to win except by making terms
with the banks. The banks are now
in politics as the following letter
clearly shows:
