Sletten, Matt Tracy, II. Goodrich, M.
Long and Mic Waganoski who compose
the Day county board OF commissioners.
At the election last fall the people of
Day county voted $4,000 for a court
house and the visit is in connection with
the proposition Aberdeen News.
s. G.. Hallstrom was in the city Mon
day called at this Office, renewed his
subscription, and paid the Reporter and
Farmer quite a compliment. Mr.. H..
said he was thinking of taking a daily
paper during the session of the legis-
~lature, but after reading our last issue
had decided it was unnecessary, as n
capital news was the most satisfactory
report he had seen from Pierre. We
can assure Mr.. Hallstrom and the other
readers that we will use our best
~endeavors to give a complete and
exhaustive report of all the proceedings
each week during the session.
Thursday morning David Williams,
president Of the Farmers s. Merchants
bank of this city, received official Motif
cation that President Roosevelt had
appointed him as n of the commits
sioners to examine and test the weight
and fineness of the coins reserved by the
several minis of the United States for
the ensuing year. This is a great honor
which is highly appreciated by Mr..
Williams and his hosts of friends III
Webster and throughout the state. The
president is to be congratulated on this
selection as is MI. Williams IN his
appointment. The first meeting of the
commissioner will be held in Phila-
delphia the 10th Of February next.
Among the Websterites who are figur-
ing ON building next spring are the
Irwin Pharmacy, @. w. Siglinger, on
the site of the present drug store and
Palace "eat market, on the corner of
second avenue and Main street. The /.
o. o. r. lodge of this city on the site at
present occupied by Pease music store
on first avenue. The parties are said to
be figuring ON plans now with the inten-
ton of beginning building operations al
soon as spring opens. With these build
ings, the $50. 900 court house and First
National Bank building it looks as if
there would be something doing in the
building line in Webster next summer.
After taking sufficient time and exer-
cising the greatest care and going into
the most minute details of each and all
of the plans submitted for the new court
house building to be erected by this
county the board of county commits
sioners very wisely selected the plans as
drawn and submitted by Kenney & Det-
weller, of Minneapolis. The plans
chosen by the board are also those that
commended themselves as the best for
arrangement and convenience to every
person who saw all the plans submitted
to the board. In some respects the plans
submitted by Freeman ID. Orff We're
superior to the ones taken by the board,
but as a whole the Kenney s. Detweiler
plans were clearly the best. The plans
submitted by Buechner g. North Lad
nothing about them to commend them

BONILLA WINS IN HONDURAS
Takes the Capital and Now Controls the
GeverniAent.

WASHINGTON. April i6.-The State De-
partment has received telegraphic ad-
vices from United States Consul Moe at
Tegucigalpa, the capital OF Honduras,
that the revolution In that country has
been successful. He says that Teguci-
galpa capitulated to Bonilla yesterday.
Bonilla was elected president Of Hon.
duras at the last election. Sierra. the
president OF the country, declined to sur
render the reins of Office TO ,Boniila, and the
latter thereupon raised the banner of revolu-
ton. Sierra placed his privatel secretary.
Arias, in the presidential chair and, ASSUME
ing command Of the army. went out to meet
Bonilia, who had established his head
quarters at Amapala. the Honduras port
on the Pacific side. '-H
Bonilla did not wait for Sierra to reach
Amapala but won't out to meet him.. The
Government forces were defeated and
Bonilla has had an almost unbroken progress
OF triumphs since then: II was reported
that Sierra 1 reasons for refusing to permit
Bonilla TO become President was that Be-
nilla declined to keep an engagement to
marry Sierras daughter. This, however,
has never been confirmed from reliable
sources.

The Rev. Dr. II. Pereira Mendes Of She

Dr. Gottheil:
Our views on religion were extremely
divergent, but that never prevented my
recognizing his lovabe nature, Of which
l had many proofs. Somehow he felt
especially kind toward me, and In all our
twenty-five years Of friendship / cannot
recall one occasion when his urbanity was
ruffied
Our religious views differed, for while

DDS, as indicated in the Bible and other
sources OF religious giidance-he was one
OF those who approved individual action.
He undoubtedly ranked among the
most scholarly Of Reformed Jewish rabbis,
whose numbers are being thinned out
rapidly
The Rev. Bernard Drachman. Rabbi of
Synagogue Zichron Ephraim. on East Sixty
seventh street, said: ITO me and to all
who knew DIR. Gottheil his death is a cause
of sincere sorrow. He was man highly
respected for his benevolent activity and
kindly disposition. He belonged to the Re-
formed wing OF Judaism, but his Jewish
sympathies were warm, as Is shown by the
fact that he was an ardent Zionist.
DIR. Gottheil will be long remembered
particularly for his very useful work in
making Judaism more ineligible to gentle
circles. He had wide acquaintance
with clergymen Of Christian creeds and
did very much to bring about a mutual
understanding

said;
let 1t be spared the dangerous surgery of
legislation. Any attempt to change the

Among these tendencies il one to increase

in New \ ork State to-day as IN the whole OF
England. which has Ave times the amount
Of legislation.
What we need Is to simplify the procedure
in the courts and to discourage useless liti-

s75 causes during its last session, and 1t has
but nine Judges. More than nine Judges
sitting at one time would be an unwieldy

Discussing the relative merits Of an
elective and appointive judiciary, he re.
marked that it was usually those who had

vision In the Second Department has handed
down decision In which he declares that
a part Of the excise law OF the State is clearly
unconstitutional.
The matter came before the Court on an
application by the State Commissioner Of
Excise TO have eight certificates revoked
because OF violations of the statute.
The section involved provides that where
the Commissioner brings q proceeding TO
have a license revoked. the holder must
furnish verified answer, and that IL he
does not do 40 1t must be presumed that
he Ia guilty Of the illegal act alleged, and
his certificate must he revoked. This
Justice Hirschberg declares is entirely
wrong and a violation OF the Constitutional
right OF litigants. He says In part
There L. no justification in Law for the plac-
ing Of litigant N a. position where Mis- guilt
must be assumed and a forfeiture OF his prop

u Up-SlOS OF $3.50 Gone.
William T. Wolfe OF II Erie street, Jersey
City. was walking north along Grove street,
that city, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when gust Of wind picked up roll OF bills
lying In the street near the gutter and sent
them flying in all directions. A twenty
dollar gold. certificate whirled pleasantly
near Mr.. Wolfe's nose and he grabbed 1t.
Then he began to pick up money with both
hands and shove II into his pockets.
dozen or more men went to his assist
ance and became 20 interested in picking
up money In the street that they forgot to
be polite. They trampled on one another's
toes, pushed and showed. and one or two
In their excitement actually tried to take
bills from others fingers.
When no more bills were to be found
the crowd scattered and Wolfe went home
to his dinner. He had $50. He notified
Police Headquarters that he had a bunch
OF money which the owner could have on
proving property.
Meanwhile police headquarters re-
ceived word that II was raining money
up In Grove street and that a crowd of per-
sons had been extremely busy. The police
were also told that one man had escaped
with a big roll. Detectives Iarkins and
Doyle OF headquarters and several cops
from the Second precinct were hurried out
TO make a raid on the money market. When
they arrived there wasn't any. money
In sight and all persons whom they in
terviewed denied that they had been pick
ing up wealth.
The police were informed that the man
who got the big wad was a butcher named
Theodore Pellens at Grove and First streets.
Pellens was taken to police headquarters.
where he told Chief Murphy that he didn't
get any Of the cash.
In the meantime James C. Manahan Of
Taylor d Mammalian, furniture dealers, OF
40 and 422 Grove street. reported that
he had lost $3.50 and handbook while on
his way to the Third National Bank.
Chief Murphy told Pellens that he was
money: And II you don't produce said
the Chief, Srll lock you UP
Pellens then admitted that the Chief
was right, and offered to 60 home for it:
He returned with t3s In q paper bag and
solennly declared that II was all there,
whereupon the Chief let him GO.
Wolfe turned over his find to the Chief.
which brought the total Of the money re-
covered up to Sl27.
