McGregor's Body Ia Found.

The body of Duncan McGregor, the
missing Peshtigo lumberman, was found
in a log jam in the river by Adolph
Gouley, laborer, who gets the $1,000
reward offered. McGregor disappeared
last Fourth of July. Since that time
not trace of him was secured until
this time. The only theory ever given
was that told Mrs. McGregor by a Mil
waukee clairvoyant, who said that he
had been murdered for valuable papers
ON his person and his body thrown in the
river. He leaves an estate of over
100000. The body was so badly decom-
posed that nothing can be told as to the
primary cause of his death. The body
went over the paper mill dam.

Women's Clubs Defended.

w. L. Bodine. Superintendent OF
Compulsory Education in Chicago
does not agree with Grover Cleveland
that women's clubs are pernlclous.
He writes:
Il believe in womens clubs, because
I am in an official position, as Super
intendent of Comp, sorry Education

They are practical. They act. They
do things for the good OF the COM

and he al las: knew what home lie
was.
For some time prior to that
event. during Mr. Clevelands first
administration. the republic beheld
the spectacle OF a president setting
as an example 10 his people, man
in the White House who had no wife
and no concrete value for home life

suicide. to say the least. Be it said
to the credit of Mr.. Cleveland, he
has since redeemed himself. But as
a penitent it is ungracious for him to
assail mothers who belong to
women's clubs, and some of whom
had families long ere he had taken
unto himself a bride. 1t would be
unreasonable for him or any other
citizen to paint the ideal wife, in
this day and generation, as one
whose life was bounded by the kitch-
Ell and drawing-room, the nursery
and the front porch. Any man who
would not give his wife a day off
once week or oftener, to spend an
intellectual afternoon at woman's
club. is unreasonable, undemocratic
and un-American
"Women's clubs do not impair
home life; they promote it. They do
not tend to race suicide; the majority
of their members are mothers. They

stvled beer dispensaries," in cities OF
over twenty thousand populatlon' to
be operated as now prescribed
by law
Put this proviso has no bearing on
your question and the answer thereto,
and if the intention was to change or
modify the operation OF dispensarles
as herein set forth it is abortlve.
I hardly deem it necessary to add
that all beer (as all other llquors)
must be purchased by the State board
OF directors, and must be procured by
the dispenser from the State COM
missioner, for a violation OF which
provision a severe penalty attaches.
(See Section 56o.)
Your third request, for definition
of the word "prernises," as 1t occurs
in Section 561 (above quoteD is
fraught with difficulty for it involves
to a great extent question OF TACT
differing in each particular case.
From such an examination as
have been able to make of this sub
iect in the legal authorities l am un~
able to lay down precise definition,
for in such cases where the matter
has been discussed so much depend
ed on technical statutes and clrcum-
stances that the reasoning is OF but
little aid here. From perusal OF
the dispensary law it is manifest,
however, that in determining the
limits of the premises recourse must
be had to the action of the county
board of control in selecting a place
for a dispenser to operate. Section
s6s directs: "The county board OF
control shall designate or provldb a
suitable place in which to sell the Ii
ouors," and Section 564, authorizing
the county board to appoint dis"
penser, says: Every appointment
so made shall specify the building,
giving the street and number or To-
cation in wh.ch Intoxicating liquors
NAV be sold by virtue Of the same.
When the county board has deslgna-
ted or provided suitable place IN
which to sell liquors that suitable
place" becomes premises on which
ljouor cannot be opened nor malt Ii
ouors drunk. Were a provision OF
this return directed to individuals
premises under such circumstances
would be limited to some pla over
which such individual had the legal
right to exercise authority or con-
troll.
This rule applies to the govern
mental agency having the selection
and contro2 of the place where Ii
ouors are sold, and, of course, cannot
apply to places over which the eoun-
tv board has no authority. There is
no law authorizing the county board
or any other officer to provide
drinking place. If such be attempted
# is withou- warrant of law. 1t fol-
lows. then, that 'premises" is such
a place as is provided by the county
board for the sale of liquors and
over which the state agencies have
control. This trust is devolved up
on that body to be performed accord
ing to the expressed meaning and
purpose of the law.
Very respectfully.

back to the middle ages and witness again the scenes enacted in that period? can not bring myself to think that the world is deteriorating. I believe that in every country there are men and women of noble character, and I know in this country there are many such whose prin- cipie is to be fair and just to all especial ly to the weak, and that they would not themselves nor allow their respective gov ernments to committee acts of oppres- sion and tyranny. It is such men and women that shed lustre on their respective countries

 REAL ESTATE MARKET

Although a further advance in the local real estate market was not noted yester- day, there was no Tagging. A larger per cent of the deeds that were filed in the probate court were for larger sums than has been the case on other days of the present week, but the market is not yet in it's customary condition.
 In the building circles over the entire city the activity continues but 1t is especially noticed in the residence por- tions. In the business portion, however there are two new structures on Third avenue between Nineteenth and Twen7 tieth streets and one on Twentieth street between Second and Third avenues, which are in course of construction and Will be completed at a near date.
 '"The rush of the rental season is now diminishing, but the real estate market is growing stronger and I think that in the course of two weeks that 1t will be in a good condition again." said one of the prominent local real estate agents yester- day. "Of course we cannot expect the real estate market to show it's usual ac- tfvity at this season of the year, but considering all In all, think that 1t Is doing very well.''
 The following deals in local real estate were recorded in the probate court yes- terday:
 John T. Harkley and wife to J. l.. Kelly, lots to IS in block and certain lands in section B. township IS, range west; consideration, $120O.
 c. H. Moseley and wife to B. F. Kitchen, certain described property on Tuscaloosa avenue; consideration, Sl2OO.

the most favored nation. It Is a matter or record that this provision has been yio- lated innumerable times.
 Since the first exclusion law in 1882 was passed numbers of provisions have been enacted by Congress inconsistent at least with the spirit of our treaties; these laws have In themselves been drastic and their execution humiliating to the subjects of China; do you wonder that they should be disposed to reject our goods? even the worm will turn.
 "The Chinese have many qualities of excellence their standard of commercial integrity stands pre-eminent above that of any race on earth. Chinaman would rather die than lose his race. We should treat these people right because 1t IS right we do so. Then when the matter IS viewed from the standpoint of policy there Is only one course; treat them just ly and cultivate close ties or friendship with them. Such course would be appreciated by the Chinese and would appeal to them as 1t would to anyone else with wonderous effect. Their great philosopher, Confucius held as one of the important things this: How shall I do my duty to my neighbor? How can I discharge the duty of a virtuous citi- gen. Nobler sentiments were never in dicated by the queries of any man.
 We should enact just and wise laws to govern cur relations with these people and execute these laws in decent man ner, cultiyating the most friendly rela- tions with China.

 "In an address delivered on April s. 1897, by his excellency. Wu Ting Fang, the distinguished and genial minister at that time from China to this country, at the annual session of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. this language was used Some people call themselves highly civilized and stigmatize others as uncivilized. What is civilization? Does it mean solely the possession Of su- perior force and ample supply of offensive and defensive weapons? take 1t to mean something more. I understand that a civ ilized nation should respect the rights Of another nation just the same as In so- ciety a man is bound to respect the rights of his neighbor. Civilization as I under stand 1t does not teach people to ignore the right of others. Is 1t not time that we should at least recognize the prin- ciple of righteousness and fair play?
