He was sent home sick at the end Of

ganized the Fortieth Wisconsin regi-
ment, of which he became colonel. Be-
fore he was mustered out he had been
brevetted brigadier general for mer-
itorious service,
He then became pastor of Summer
field Methodist church in Milwaukee,
and later of Spring Street church in
the same city. In 1871 Gov. Fairchild
appointed him state superintendent of
public instruction for Wisconsin. He
was twice reelected to the same office
by the people. Lawrence university
gave him the degree of doctor of di-
vinity in 1878, and the next year he
became president of Wesley univer-
sity at Bloomington, Ill. He became
allied with the Reformed Episcopal

thuSiaSm over functions" She is,
and has been since her marriage, alb
sorbed in her husbands career She
knows English politics from begin
ming to end, and whenever there is a
crisis due in the house of commons
Mrs. Chamberlain is to be seen in
the ladies' gallery, one of the most
interested listeners to the debate.
During the life of Gladstone the reg
ularity with which his wife attended
the sessions of the house of COM
mons was rivaled only by that of the
American girl who was beginning to
be pointed out as some one worth re-
Numbering.
That her practical self-effacement
is by no means due to lack of ca
pacity is proved by Mrs. Chamber
lain's extreme popularity not only
among her husbands political friends
but in his household. At the begin
ming of her married life she had no
easy part to play, for she was her
husbands third wife and had grown
up step-children, the eldest of whom,
Austin Chamberlain, was older than
she. At that time, too, her husbands
political position was extremely I'M
certain, neither of the two great par
ties being especially well disposed to-
ward him.
However, he is now one of the men
of the hour in England, and it is
probable that his position will make
it necessary for his wife to entertain
rather lavishly at their town house
in Princes Gate during the corona
ton season, a prospect to which she
undoubtedly is looking forward with
little enthusiasm.

Jerry. Mean Little Game.

The United States post Office de-
partment has violent prejudice
against double-jointed names for
towns. This prejudice has worked
harm to a deserving little town in
California which had Spanish name
for nearly a century. This is Corte
MADEIRA, in Marin county. The Corte
Maderans having no post Office had
to go several miles to get their mail.
They put the requisite machinery at
work to have the place declared a
post office, but the most enterpris-
ing man in the town was one Jerry
Adams, the keeper of a crossroads
saloon. To the Washington author
tiles he represented that "Corte Ma
dera" was too long a name To this
the post office authorities lent a will
ing ear. and the subtle Jerry sug-
gested to them that a more eupho-
NOUS and convenient name was "Ad-
ans" They at once agreed. Now
the Corte Maderans have their post
office. but they have lost their beau
tiful Spanish name, and their town
is named after the keeper of the
local saloon.

SKIS FOR POSSESSION
0Sie Raymond Claims That
City Is Keeping Property
From Her.

Mrs. Oslo Raymond has asked the dis
trict court to give her immediate pos
session of the property now used as
Douglas avenue west of Wichita street.
and which she claims belongs to her.
Mrs. Raymond yesterday filed a petition
in the district court alleging that she
was restrained from her rightful posses
sion of a strip of land beginning at the
corner Of Wichita street and Douglas
avenue and extending 4S1 feet west or
almost to the river and takes in the
greater part of Douglas avenue west OF
Wichita street
In her suit fled yesterday she asks
that the court give her immediate pos
session Of this strip of very valuable
land
Mrs. Raymond is the daughter Of
William Griffenstein, who owned the
greater part of the land along the bank
Of the Big Arkansas river and he plat
ted it into town lots. His daughter now
claims that Douglas avenue or that part
of it that belonged to her father was
never condemned by the city as a street,
but has been used as such for many
years. Last December. Mrs. Raymond
filed q suit against the city, 3. T. Nc
Lean and the Missouri Pacific railroad,
and she asks the court TO give her pos
session Of this strip of land. The Mis-
souri, has a spur track running across it
and Mr. Mclean has built sidewalk
on part of it and the city has given its
consent TO using the strip of land as a
street. Mrs. Raymond claims that every
one who passes along the street is a
trespasser and she brought suit against
the city for allowing this state of affairs
to continue.
She claims that her father was the
owner of this property and that she still
has good title to the property and that
there has been no lawful process by
which the property was taken from her
by the city. She states in her petition
that the city is keeping her from the
possession of her property unlawfully
and she asks the court to return the

PARK MUSIC
CAUSES DISC0RD
Street Car Company and Park
Commissioners
ARE IN BATTLE ARRAY
War Is Over Division of Con-
cert Expense,

There IS merry war in progress be
tween the Street Car company on one
side ana the city council and the park
commissioners on the other. on the sub
sect Of concerts in the park during the
approaching summer and the band boys
are in the air. hguratively speaking. as to
whether they wiz make music which
Hath power to soothe the savage breast
OF the fellows who want to reduce their
income
The money question is naturally the
paramount issue Of the fight. as each side
contends that its opponent wants TO sad
die an unjust burden on it.
When the concerts We're given in the
parks last summer the Street Car com
pany paid SO a month, and the city cOun-
ci and park commission paid S225 max
ing "a total OF $780, which was the COM
penssUon of the band for its services.
The park commissioners complain that
the Street Car company did not bear its
share Of the expense last year and want
them 10 pay 800 this year. This would
leave 500 to be divided equally between
the park commissioners and the municipal
fathers
In speaking of the matter yesterday.
Geo. NJ. Dickson. chairman of the park
commission, said.
The Street Car company is the only
Snstitution which derives any financial
benefit from the park concerts and they
do not want TO pay 500 a month for the
music They want 20 reduce the com
pensation of the band from $500. as il
was last year, TO $2oo They could make
Enore money out of the concerts this year
than they aid last il they would furnish
enough cars TO accommodate the people"
The Street Car company states that it
never told the park commissioners that
81 wanted 20 reduce the band compensa-
ton from $500 to $500. and in fact has not
held a conference with the city authori-
ties on the concert question. 1t also
states that If the band would give five
or six concerts week. instead Of two

more money TO the cause than last year
