OBITUARY.

Died, Jan. IA, 1908, Harry Aug.
uslus, infant son OF Mr. and Mrs. Aug
ustus LaRose of Esthr The precious
little one was only . months and 10
days old when he was called from this
earthly garden to bloom in Paradise
In the home from whence he was taken
is a darling little sister, Gcncvievc,
aged four years, whose devotion to
little Harry was beautiful to see. And
IL seems almost cruel to think of the
separation of these two little ones, or
that one so young should learn the
deep griefs and heariaci,cs of this life,
So, father and mother, while your
home will be darkcned by the absence
OF little Harry, think Of him now rs
being free from all pain and where sin
and lifc's trials never come. We who
have drank deep from the cup Of sor-
row can sympathize much in this dark
hour, and would say with the good
Father Toomey, who conducted the
funeral, services, "Not our will, but
Thine, o God, be DONE" and prepare
TO meet your darling babe with on
Heavenly Father.
A FRIEND.

SHOWS NO MERCY |
Judge Finehout Says Blind
Piggers Will Get Limit.

No clemency will be shown in cases
where parties are convicted of conduct
ing blind pigs. The sentence of ninety
days in the workhouse without the
option of fine will be imposed" said
Judge Finehout in police court yester-
day afternoon, when he fined Robert
j. Mills $50 for selling liquor without a
license, at his confectionery store, at
1343 University avenue
The leniency shown in this case
must not be taken as precedent"
continued the judge. Mills is a Grip
pie and has another charge to answer,
and in consideration of his misfor-
tunes the fine has been imposed"
Stan Donnelly, attorney for Mills, in
pleading for clemency before Judge
Finehout imposed sentence, pointed out
that Mills was only partly to blame for
his infraction of the law. According to
Mr.. Donnelly, Mills had yielded to the
persistent requests of cricketers, who
play in the vicinity of Mills store
They had, counsel declared, prevailed
upon Mills to take in a supply of
liquor with which they might allay
their thirst during the play. Mills
place was to be the official sideboard, -
and so Mills finally consented to COM
ply with their wishes.
Louis Segal, who is at the city hos
pital, suffering from a fracture of the
skull sustained from blows with a
hammer welded by Mills in his store
last Friday night, remains in a serious
condition. The physicians are uncer-
tain as to the outcome.

Question Of Moving School
Board to Be Settled Friday.

commission met with the members of
Of the school board yesterday after
noon. but failed to come to an under
standing regarding the quarters to be
assigned the SCHOOL board in the court
house. Iii.
Commissioner Pottgieser maintained
that IL was not right to force the SUI
perintendent of country schools back
into the basement of the building, and
insisted that he be permitted to retain
one of the rooms wanted by the school
board. Probation Officer Graves was
accommodated with an acceptable
room in the basement, but the other
matter was not so easily disposed of,
and the final settlement of the matter
went over until Friday, at which time
the joint commission will hold another
meeting and decide upon how much
space shall be assigned to the school
board.

Sunday Closing Law.

Having been arrested twice on charge
of violating the Sunday closing law,
and having habeas corpus proceedings
pending in the district court in which
the constitutionality of the law is in
Volved, P. j. Hoffman, proprietor of a
grocery store at Thirteenth and Jack
son streets, was yesterday arrested a
third time charged with breaking the

was allowed to go on his promise to
observe the law. The second time he
was fined the limit, and when arrested
yesterday was committed to the county
Jail on refusing to put up $25 bail
He remained in the Jail a few hours,
when the bail was produced.
HOFFMAN refuses to recognize the
validity of the law before it has been
passed upon by the state supreme
court He will have a hearing in po-
lice court Thursday.
Hoffman is not the only one having
trouble with the law. Richard Rosen-
blum, II. Comonow, Samuel ReiSner
Charles c. and Jacob Levy, charged
with violating the law, were in court
yesterday to have a hearing. Their
cases were continued till Thursday,
however, as yesterday was a Jewish
feast day.

store on East Fairfield avenue, and who
was the complainant against several
storekeepers whose places of business
are upon the same street, was arrest
ed yesterday on a warrant issued by
order of Judge Hine. Oxman, it is al
legged, keeps his store open on Sundays,
though he has been in the habit of clos
ing on Saturdays. He had complained
against his neighbors because they had
kept open every day in the week.
Rodney Barnum, who conducts a
confectionery store on Mississippi
street, was in police court yesterday
charged with violating the Sunday
closing law. His case was continued
till today and he was allowed to go
upon his own recognizance.
