FOUND GUILTY OF
ASSAULT AND BATTERY

In the municipal court, Wednesday
afternoon of last week, Joseph Christel
of the town of Eaton was found guilty
of assault and battery on Miss Meta
Moeller of the town of Schleswig. He
paid fine of S5 and costs, the costs
amounting to $45.O4 The trouble oc
Cured at Koping's hall in Steinthal on
Sunday, October %, at a dance. Christel
and Fred w. Meyer, the latter being a
resident of the town of Meeme, became
involved in a dispute. Miss Moeler
Meyers fancee, interfered, the result
being that she was struck in the eye
with such force that she it was alleged)
was rendered momentarily unconscious
The action was brought by Meyer on
behalf Of the lady on whom the assault
had been committed There was much
confusion and something of 1t general
mix up at the time of the aforesaid
trouble; a2d there was apparently some
uncertainty as to who struck the blow,
but it was alleged in the complaint that
Christel had committed the offense, and
rs stated, be was found guilty. When
first arraigned. the defendant pleaded
not guilty and demanded trial A
number of witnesses We're subpoenaed
and, considering the distance, the run
ming up of the costs to S45.04 is readily
accounted for. Christel promptly paid
up and WAS discharged. 1t is probable
that he will now be made defendant in
u civil action.

1879 he was candidate for sheriff on
the Citizens ticket, but withdrew be-
fore the election. But in 1873 he was
elected to the office of sheriff on the
democratic ticket. His ability to run
down or to capture criminals won him
widespread recognition.
AS early as 1S49 when MIR. Pierce was
but eighteen years of age, he was elect
ed vice-president of the first educational
organization of the county.
May -, 1897, he WAS appointed chief
of police by Mayor Torrison, and Mr..
Pierce held that office continuously for
over eight years, and until that dread
disease which had fastened itself upon
him rendered his condition such as to
necessitate his resignation.
Pliny Jerome Pierce was a good
husband, kind father and an honored
citizen. His passing will be deplored
by those who had the pleasure of his
acquaintance

EDUCATIONAL.
By w. f. LARSON.

From a letter sent out by Supt. S. c.
Cushman of Columbia county we note
the following, which may be suggestive
to teachers of our county:
SPELLING CONTEST.
On June 16, 1906, at Rio, public con.
test will be held to determine which one
Of the delegates to be sent from the
different towns of the county shall have,
as u prize, the beautiful silk umbrella
offered by Hanson Bros, general mer-
chants of Rio.
The delegates for this contes. are to be
selected in the following manner
First: Each teacher in the country
schools is to select by oral spelling con-
tests, or otherwise, the two best spoilers
in her school.
Second The teachers of town shall
before June I, 1906 hold in some con-
venient school house II public contest to
select, from the delegates from the
different schools, two delegates to repre-
sent that town IN the county contest.
These two delegates are to come to the
county contest with n certificate of the
following form
If the town is too large, it may be
divided and each division may send one
delegate
Third: Each graded school in the
county will be entitled to one delegate

for literary program the town contests
can be made a success and will arouse
school sentiment in all communities of
the county.

The Careless
ness OF Man

Is often the cause of bitter disap-
pointments. The modern man
looks after the future welfare OF
his family by buying life insur-
ance, Government bonds or some
ether safe investment, and neg
lects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho
tegraph; 800 of our business is
women and children. The men
are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when John was 20, and has it cop
led. Not much comfort, but it's
all she has. Don't you think a
small investment in photography
would be a good one for you?

Startling. But True.

People the world over were
horrifed on learning of the burn
ing of a Chicago theater in which
nearly six hundred people lost
their lives, yet more than five
times this number, or over 1000
people, died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year,
with scarcely a passing notice.
Every one of these cases of pneu-
monia resulted from a cold and
could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. A great many
who have had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded it
off by the prompt use of this
remedy. The following is an in
stance of this sort: "Too much
cannot be said in favor of Cham
berlain 3 Cough Remedy, and es-
pecially for colds and Influenza.

Laura of a severe cold, and | be-
lieve saved her life when she was
