Well Known Y. M. c. A. Worker Died
Last Evening After a Long Illness.

Well known L. M. c. A. Worker Died
Last Evening After a Long Illness.
Frank Christian Gibson, boys Sec
rotary of the Kenosha branch of the
Y. M. c. A. and president of the Wis
consin Anti-Cigarette league, died at
his home on Exchange street just
after 5 O'Clock Thursday evening.
The life of young Gibson had been
hanging by thread for many days
and week ago the members of the
family abandoned all hope of his re-
covery. Early in the week he rallied
from his critical condition and the
doctors expressed a hope that he
might live for several weeks, but a
relapse came on Thursday and he
passed away late in the afternoon.
Frank Gibson was 10 years of age
and he had spent his entire life in
this county. He was born in the town
of Bristol OH July %, 1885 but came to
this city with his parents several
years ago. He had been an active
worker in various lines of Christian
work and was intensely interested in
the work among the boys of the Y.
M. G. A. He was taken i'll EIGHT
weeks ago and at that time he notified
the directors of the association that
he would be forced to give up his
work on account of the condition of
his health but the directors had taken
no steps to fill the position, hoping
that he might be able to. resume his
work later in the year.
The young man was anlFearnest
Christian workersandIa greatgfavorite
among the boys who had1found club
home at the Y. M. C. A. building.
His death has caused great sorrow
among his friends.

Hotel.keepers of Salem Arrested
for Keeping Slot Machines
Pay Big Fines in Court.
SALEM TO HAVE A BONFIRE.
Slot Machines Valued at Over Seven
Hundred Dollars to be Burned
With Fitting Ceremonies
Within Few Hours.

The Law and Order league of the
town OF Salem, won it's fight against
gambling IN that village this morning
when in Justice Sturges' court four
hotel and saloon keepers were found
guilty of having slot machines in
their possession and each of them
was assessed fine of SO and the
costs of the action.
Charles Haw1ey plead guilty to the
charge brought against him by the
leagues officials, but the other three
men, L. E. Lamb, Charles Brenhof
and Fred Schenning, contested the
case and after the were examined all
were found guilty as charged. s Their
fines and the costs of witnesses will
probably amount to about $40. Added
to this fine and costs the Justice or
dered the machines confscated which
are valued at more than 500 to be
destroyed by fire.
This evening Salem will have $500
bonfire of the gambling devices and
Justice Sturges has accepted the in
vitation of the Law and Order league
to go to Salem and apply the torch to
the property to be burned.
The Rev. Earl V. Fisher, who led
the crusade against slot machine
gambling in the town, was on hand
this morning to aid the district attor-
ney in the prosecution of the cases.
The first case to be called was against
Frederick Schenning, the we'll known
resort keeper of Silver Lake. Mr..
Schenning entered a plea of not
guilty and half dozen witnesses were
sworn to show that the machine had
been in actual operation in the Schen-
ming place for several years.
When the defendant was asked to
state his side of the case he stated
that he was ready to admit that the
machine had been in operation but
that he was not aware of the fact that
any order had been issued against the
machines. He insisted that he had
visited in various parts of the state
and that he had gamb1ed on slot ma
chimes in Milwaukee, Madison and
Waukesha and had not been aware of
the fact that the law was being more
fully enforced in this county.
The cases against Lamb and Bren-
hoff we're similar to that of Schenning
and these men made similar state
ments.
Rev. Fisher was e1ated over the
success of the prosecution, and he
promises that the Law and Order
league will see to it that the ma
chimes are not restored for business
in the town of Salem.

THE officials Of the municipal water
company are having the usual troubles
collecting the water bills, and it will
probably be necessary to proceed to
extremes in certain cases and turn off
the water before the bills can be col
1ected. Then the air will be full OF
complaints. The rates are lower
under municipal ownership than they
ever were before, but it appears to
hurt some consumers more to pay the
smaller water bills to the city than il
would to give up twice as much to a
private corporation.

WHO WILL PAY THE TAX?
State Tax Commission Called Upon to
Give Opinion on Assessment of Coal

State Tax Commission Called Upon to
Give Opinion on Assessment of Coal
The tax commission will be called
upon to give an opinion on an inter
esting point in regard to the assess
meat Of coal which happens to be in
the hold of boats on the assessment
day. The local assessors of Green
Bay want to know whether the cargo
of boat unloading coal becomes the
property of the consignee as soon as
the boat ties up at the unloading
dock, or does it remain the property
of the consignor until it is dumped on
the dock. The assessors visited the
coal docks of Green Bay on May 1,
the day on which ali assessments are
made, and found three boats unload
ing coal. They estimated the value
Of the coal onthe docks and also that
remaining in the cargoes of the boats,
but assessed the entire value amount
to the local dealers. The dealers pro-
tested, declaring they could not be
assessed for coal not taken from the
boats. The assessors and dealers were
una bic to agree and so determined to
appeal to the tax commissioner. State
Commissioner Haugen says no request
has come to the Office at Madison.
His off-hand opinion was that coal in
the cargo of a boat was in transit and
could not properly be assessed.

SOME of the city officials profess to
see IN the failure of the street railway
company to press its suit against
Mayor German and the city, an indi-
cation that the company is preparing
to surrender on the transfer question
also and give the people their rights
under the franchise at last. We hope
so, surely, but we must confess that
we are not very sanguine on that
point. The tenacity with which the
company has chung to the system of
running the so called special cars,
and defed the city authorities to stop
them, shows that it must have been
very profitable for the company, and
that the extra nicke1s raked out of
the pockets of it's patrons by working
the scheme must have aggregated a
large sum. It must have been worth
more to the company than the good
will of the public, or the company
would have abandoned it long ago,
and having forfeited the good will of
its patrons by making fight on the
question, the company will hardly
surrender now without making more
of struggle.

join heartily in the vote of thanks
rendered by the stockholders of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee to
it's directors, for the manner in which
they handled the affairs of the bank
at the time Of the Bigelow defalca-

have been nothing less than a public
calamity, and the business interests
of Wisconsin owe debt Of gratitude
to the directors who saved the institu-
ton which they are not slow to &C

THE Salem Law and Order league
any body or any particular business
and its only object is to see that the
laws as they exist are enforced to the
letter. The league won all of it's
cases against the owners of slot ma
chimes in that town and it has made
that kind of gambling thing of past
in Salem. Now that the Salem league
has shown how easy it is to secure
the enforcement of the law, we should
not be surprised if other organiza-
lions along the same lines and with
the same object in view we're formed
in the county.

FoR the laird time the state senate

For the third time the state senate
has passed the bill making an appro-
priation for a Wisconsin exhibit at
Lewis and Clark exposition at Port
land and sent the bill to the assembly
which has twice defeated it. 1t is to
be hoped even if it is not expected
that the assembly will have lucid
interval and pass the bill at once,
making the appropriation Immediate
ly available. From business stand
point it would be a grave mistake to
Pet the exposition pass without fav-
ing this state represented by credit
able exhibit. The trade of Wiscon-
sin manufacturers is largely with the
western and Pacific coast states,
which are all very much interested in
the success of this exposition. They
would resent, and rightly so, the Mig
gardly action of the state which has
had the benefit of their trade in the
past il refusing to make an exhibit at
Portland, and this resentment would
cost the manufacturers of this state
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
orders. On the other hand, every
dollar expended at Portland will be
returned hundred fold in increased
business and the assembly can have
no excuse on the ground of economy
for any failure to pass the bill, for it
is not economy to lose good business.

The Use OF Words.

Periodically some one brings up the
idea that the average person uses but
q very few words. Within a few
weeks the collection Of words which
the contemporary young man has at
command has been stated at sixty-fve
or less. There are words in plenty IL
people wish to master the use of them.
A very large vocabulary is not need
ed for fluent and correct speaking and
writing. It has been said that educat-
ed people do not use for ordinary COM
munication over 700 words, a number
which looks small expressed In figures,
but is large when the words in common
use are counted. Many, very many,
words are repeated again and again
in the same sentence Rusktn said
that when person has made choice
Of word to convey certain meaning
it is all right to stick to it and use it
even in frequent Pepetitions If any
one is DESTROYS to command large list
Of words a good way is to set to work
and memorize and then use them in
writing and speaking over and over
until they become fixed in the mind.
It is task of labor, but has it's advan-
tages.
