"lt will be noticed that it is not that
he intended to steal or misappropriate
the money, or that he had done so, or
that he had an evil mind, but the law is
based squarely on the proposition:
Receiving deposits when he knew he
was insolvent.
There is no question of forgery, or
larceny, or embezzelment, or other in
this case, and if the evidence disclosed
all of these things, which it does not,
the charge would not be different, but
the court might feel justified in giving
a greater punishment.
THE court refers to these matters to
show that the absence of these particu-
lar crimes sometimes found in connec-
tion with fraudulent banking does not
go to lessen the guilt of defendant, but
may be urged to lessen the punishment.
when this trial was brought to
close last February, and before the
motion of a new trial was filed, the
court then expected to sentence the de-
fendant at once and had considered what
the sentence ought to be, and expressed
to Mr.. McGinnis, counsel for the state,
ard Mr.. Spence, counsel for the defend
ant, that the sentence ought to be
imprisonment in the penitentiary; after
a careful and painstaking consideration
OF this case for more than two months,
the court is still of the opinion that it's
first Judgment was correct.
Owing to some misapprehension of
the remark made by the court at the
former hearing of this case, the court
has thought best to reduce what was to
be said to writing.
with these suggestions which the
court feels in view of the Importance of
this case ought to be made, the court
will pronounce judgment and sentence.
"Mr. Dunning, it is the Judgment and
order and sentence of this court that,
you be confined in the state penitenti-
ary at Ft. Madison, at hard labor, for
a period Of three years, and pay the
cost of this action, and your appeal bond
is fixed at $780,"

southern and eastern shores of Lake Michigan.
Leopold Pokagon is described as man of excellent
character and habits, good warrior and hunter,
and as being possessed of considerable business
capacity. He was well known to the early white
settlers in the region about Lake Michigan and
his people were noted as being the most advanced
in civilization of any of the neighboring tribes. He
ruled his people for fortythree years. In 1888
he sold the United States million of land

the labor unions are fighting The labor unions
contend that the is the natural bread
winner, and that in we'll ordered industrial
condition the husband and father is able to
make living for his family. But recognize
ing that this can not be brought about to per-
fection, and recognizing that there will always
be times and conditions compelling women
to work, the labor unions have met that con-
tngency with the cry, Equal pay for equal
work. Therefore, in nearly every skilled craft
a woman whose work is equal to that OF her
brother receives equal pay. This is true only
of those trades that are we'll organized. The
woman who operates typesetting machine in
union printing office receives exactly the
same pay as the man who works by her side
If she does the same amount of work. The
woman who works in union cigar factory re-
ceives just much for making hundred ci-
gars her brother workman does. In this
wise union labor is combating the home de-
strovng tendency of modern industrialsm, and
certainly every patriotic mother and wife in
America should give the unions helping hand.
Some Mistaken Notions.
Doubtless great many OF you have been
deceived into believing that the labor unions
are actuated only by selfish motives; that they
are made up of agltators and irresponsibles;
that their weapons are sticks, stones and re-
volvers; that their only object is to secure
more pay for less work. This charge is brought
only by men whose greed for gain has been
thwarted and whose conscienceless treatment
Of the helpless has made them rich. Perhaps
you have heard that the demand for an eight
hour day is made because men are SO lazy they
want shorter hours. That is the cry of men
who would compel worklnen to work SO many
hours day that they would be scourged from
bed to workbench and forced from workbench
to bed. The unions have for their chief OBJ
jects the same objects as the churches-the inn
provements OF the lives Of their members the
betterment of their condition, the safeguard
ing of their interests and the care of the help
less, the weak, the dependent and the widows
and orphans The shorter work day is de-
manded not that men may work shorter hours
but that more men may have opportunity
to work and provide for those dependent upon
them.
Is there anything in all this to which any
woman can take exceptions? Is there anv-
thing i'll all this which does not deserve the
support of every true-hearted wife and mother
and sister in America? ,%54.y~
What We Ask of You.
And now, members of the Lincoln Woman's
Club, we ask you to help us in all our work
that has for its object the betterment of the
condition of the wage Garner. Success to yo.,

At the recent state convention of the Wom-

an from another state called your attention to
the great field of work lying before your clubs,

the emancipation of thousands of white slaves

manufacturers whose factories sanitary
and whose employees were treated with con-
sideration Then she made the plea that the
women of the country demand this LABEL the
intention being to do away with the sweat
shop by refusing to purchase the products of
unrequited toll.
The Wageworker hastens to assure the
womanhood of Nebraska that this is a grand
move in the right direction, and will receive
the hearty support of this paper and the in
terests it tries to represent But let us call
your attention to few facts.
There is already in the field against the
sweat shop an organization much older than
the Woman's Club, and which has been fight

life of the members of all the woman's clubs
in Nebraska. This organization, made up of
scores of smaller organizations has already Sc
