Committee of Visitors.

A committee of five members of
the Manitowoc county Board came
to this city Tuesday to inspect our
new court house, under the impress
sion that the building was completed
The committee included Messrs. c..
Otto Schmidt, j. P. Watt and Ihos.
Gretz of Manitowoc, w. Fl. Spencer
of Kingbridge and John J. Schroeder
of Two Rivers.
Manitowoc county is going to build
a new court house and naturally
they sent committee here to inspect
our model new building now under
process of construction.
The board of that county had
been informed that our building was
completed and occupied on January
1. The unfinished condition of the
structure was disappointment to
them but Mr. Lawson, the superin-
tendent of construction, showed
them the plans and gave them
enough information to form an idea
of the character of the building.

Have Not been Carried in Stock for
Fifteen Years.

There are no trundle beds on
the market nowadays" said furni-
ture store salesman. ''They are
not manufactured. Tt has been fiji
teen years since we carried them in
stock, and the chances are they
will never be in vogue again.
Science is against them for one thing.
Doctors and nurses have agreed that
as a promoter of colds the trundle
bed has no equal. For hygienic
reasons trundle beds have been
superseded by cribs and infants beds
of a dignified height. Fashion has
also had something to do with the
change. Regular beds are now
made so low that it would be next
to impossible to slip the trundle bed
under them. Perhaps there may
be few out IN the country districts
that have not been seized by curio
collectors or split into kindling wood
but you cannot find one in a city
furniture store"

A BILL BY ATTY. BROWN
Lane t.ter Lawyer Drafts Law Relating
to acquisitions.

District Attorney FL. W. Brown is
preparing bill to be introduced in
this session of the legislature, per-
hitting the issuance of acquisitions
on witnesses in Other states in Grim
inal cases.
Few people except lawyers know
that under present laws it is impos-
sible to compel the attendance of
witnesses in criminal cases, when the
witness needed resides outside of
the state or removes from the state
previous to the trial.
In civil actions the absent witness
can be compelled to appear before
an officer in the county where he
lives or has removed to, and his
testimony be taken and reduced to
writing, the written evidence being
then called a deposition. This dep
osition can then be Introduced as
evidence in the case, and has the
same weight and effect as though
the witness was present and testified
in open court.
This, as has been stated, can be
done in a civil suit, but it cannot be
done in criminal action. The con-
stitution guarantees to every man
charged with crime the right to
meet his accuser face to face, and
for that reason a deposition in Grim
inal actions is not allowed to be
used, but the witnesses for the
state must be present at the trial
and give their evidence in open
court upon the trial.
In some of the New England
states a law exists permitting and
providing for the requisition of wit
nesses in felony cases who live out
side or have removed outside of the
state in which the trial is to be had.
Without such law it is impossible
to compel the attendance Of such
witness, and as his deposition can
not be taken or used in the trial
criminal prosecution often fails for
want of his evidence.
The absent or nonresident wit
ness may come if he sees fit. He
may be a friend of the accused per-
son, and if SO he will not come. He
may promise the states officers to
come and testify, and the defense
may offer him more money to stay
at home, and thus justice is de-
feated simply because the state is
powerless to compel his attendance.
1t seems absurd that state line
should in such cases be a barrier
against the successful prosecutio
of criminals.
Similar laws are to be introduced
in the present sessions Of the legis-
latures of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska.

NOTES OF THE FAILURE.
Grant County to Suffer no Loss as Result
of the Embarrassment.

The Northern Building and Con-
struction company, builders OF the
new court house for Grant County,
last week notified their creditors
that they we're at a standstill.
This company is located at Daven-
port, Iowa, and during the past
season had seven large buildings on
hand. They are said to have lost
considerable money on two or three
of these buildings on account OF
raise in cost of material, delay IN
receiving material, mismanagement,
etc, and concluded to quit and have
a settlement.
Grant county will experience no
loss on account OF this failure, and
probably there will be no delay in
construction, as there is still about
fifteen per cent of the value of the
value of the work due the builders,
and their bondsmen are responsible
for the completion of the building.
A reliable authority says that there
should be about $4,000 profit IN
this building.
r. Meyer, chairman of the county
board, and j. Lawson, superinten-
dent of construction, went to Daven-
port last week to inquire into the
status of the affairs of the company.
Arrangements have been made for
a>fneeting Of the creditors in that
city next Saturday, when the situa-
ton will be reviewed. AS there is
a good profit in this building and as
it's construction is progressing salts
factorily, Mr.. Mason will probably
be instructed to complete the struc-
ture.
Mr.. Lawson, the superintendent
of construction, has managed SO
satisfactorily that he will probably
be asked to finish the job. But for
a two months wait for steel the
roof would have been on the build
ing.
Local creditors are not numerous,
and a person who is in position to
know something of the company in
forms us that he believes there will
be no loss to these creditors. A few
of the creditors are as follows: VIM.
Barrows, brick, $1,1OO; Lancaster
Lumber company, lumber, $85;
Jenkins Eastman Lumber company,
lumber, 5000; VIM. Block, sand, $50,
and light bills for livery and other
purposes. A Platteville firm has
furnished 100, 900 brick.

Obituary-Cushman.

Mallie Huse was born in New Jer-
sey March 30, 1871, and died at her
home two miles north of Lancaster,
Feb. 3, 1903, at 1870 p. m. She
married G.. B. Cushman twelve years
ago. One child, a little girl, blessed
this union.
Shortly after their marriage they
removed to the west and engaged in
ranching, returning to this country
about two years ago and buying
their present farm home, two miles
north of this city.
About a week ago Mrs. Cushman
was taken seriously i'll, and after a
consultation of several physicians it
was decided that an operation was
absolutely necessary. Bravely she
withstood the ordeal and courage
ously battled for life during the fol-
lowing days, but to no purpose. She
passed away on Tuesday evening at
1920, mourned by all who knew
her.
Besides a devoted husband and
little daughter, she leaves two broth
ers and a sister, residents of Omaha,
Neb., who are here to attend the
funeral.
The body was shipped to Rewey,
where today will be held the funer-
al and she will be consigned to
mother earth beside her loving par
ents gone before.
The many friends and acquaint-
ances of deceased have highest words
of praise for her beautiful Christian
character and noble womanly quail
ties. Her deaJh is sincerely
mourned, not only by her own fam
lily but by a circle of friends limited
only to acquaintance.
The sorrowing relatives have the
sincere sympathy of all in their be-
reavement.

to his demise he advised those near
him of a brother who resided some
where in Wisconsin. Deceased was

Camp Douglas, this state, has
been selected by the war department
for national training purposes.
This will be great thing for the
Wisconsin National guard and the
militia of adjoining states, as well
as for the United States troops. 1t
is the intention Of the government
to conduct annual maneuvers on a
large scale and in which the regulars
and militia will participate together.
There are really no places in the
east where large bodies of troops
can at present be drilled to perfec-
ton, and this will afford that Oppor-
tunity. In the Camp Douglas tract
there are in the neighborhood OF
90. 900 acres and this will allow Of
10, 900 troops using the ground at the
same time, and that number may
also go through maneuvers IN a
body. There is probably no finer
available rifle range IL country than
at Camp Douglas. The natural
bluffs give a range of at least 5000
yards and this for artillery all that
is necessary.

Idle Thoughts.

1t makes me tired to read all this
stuff about the hairpin being such a
wonderful tool. The hairpin isn't
in it with the old composing rule.
I've got an old rule in my pocket
that I have used as q knife, a can
opener, a toothpick, paper cutter,
a screw driver, chisel, cork
screw, a manicure set, nut pick, a
wire cutter, an ice pick, a stove lid
litter, a window fastener, and
we'll, dozen other different things.
Why, the hairpin is nowhere.
Now some foreign doctor with a
big name has discovered that lemon
juice in drinking water is a sure
death to the typhoid bacilli. Sealed
proposals will be received by City
Clerk Michaelis for the right to
manufacture lemonade to supply
the big tower that holds the city's
aqua. But it must be the real
thing and no circus fake if we, are
to get the best results, and Lancas-
teIs proud claim of being the
healthiest city in the county remains
undisputed.

GRABS
AT CRAFTS
The Usual Final Efforts at
LOOting
Defeated By Kay and the
Marion Delegation

With unceaslng regularity, the usu.
al resolutions providing for nearly
double pay for the subordinate Off.
GERS and committee clerks of the
house we're ushered in again last
night, and an effort made to rush
them through, but the attempt failed,
in part at least The fact that it did
this time may be placed to the credit
of Kay. of Marion, whose bulldog te-
nacity in guarding the treasury did
not relax until the moment of final
adjournment.
One resolution granting the clerks
on the enrolled bills and engrossed
bills committees pay for - hours per
day, or 11a days for each day served,
passed with practically no opposition.
Then a resolution was offered provid-
ing that the desk clerks Of the house
be allowed pay for 12 hours, or IL
days pay for each day of the session.
Kay moved to lay the resolution on
the table but the motion was defeat
ed. He then took the floor in opposi-
ton Il sincerely hope that at the last
moment of this session, that the house
will not entirely forget itself, and
recklessly plunge into extravaganza
in the matter of compensating our Of.
fcers and clerks. When these posi-.
tions were filled, there were many APP
plicants for the places, which paid sal.
aries OF from "a to IS per day. We
passed a resolution only yesterday al.
lowing the desk clerks OF the house
IL days work for each day that night
sessions have been held, and, in addi.
tion to this, for the first weeks Of the
session the house was not working
more than five days in the week and
these clerks are paid for seven days
per week. or for 80 days in the month.
BY adopting this resolution these
clerks will be allowed wages ranging
from 81 10 S12 per day. which is too
much"
The adoption OF the resolution was
defeated by a vote Of IA to 80, IL alb
sent. Those favoring the resolution
were: Bailey, Banks, Burgess. Bur
