Several citizens interested in
the Improvement of the cemetery
here with special attention to
the graves of Confederate SOL
diers, met in the office of the
Nicholson bank last Monday to
discuss the matter of an endow-
ment fund for the cleaning and
maintenance of the grounds. A
fund of $4,000 has already been
raised, 81, 900 having been given
by Mrs. Ann Jeter and the other
thousand by citizens of Union.
1t is purposed to make this SIS, 600.
At the meeting Monday moth
ing definite was done, the move
ment bsing yet in the embryo,
except the decision reached to
hava the cemetery surveyed and
all the graves located. This will
be done at an early date; and all
thoss who have relatives or
friends buried there, will be ask
ed 30 contribute to the fund.
However, it is greatly desired

NEGRO RESTAURANT BURNED.
Fire Company Makes Good Time.

At a few minutes before
eleven o'clock Tuesday night the
restaurant on Bachelor street,
belonging to Ed Lipscomb,
colored, caught on fire. Mr.. W..
D. Whitmire saw the blaze and
fired an alarm. The alarm was
turned in at the fire department
and in d minutes after it was
received, water was being
thrown on the burning house.
True, the distance was not far to
the fire, but a long run and back
from the hydrant was necessary.
The men worked together well,
and in q remarkably short time,
with two streams of water in
play, the fire wss extinguished.
1t seems that there was no one
in the building at the the time,
and the cause of the fire is un-
known.

DECISION REVERSED
Famous insurance Case Tried in
the Circuit Court Reversed by
the Supreme Court s.
ELLSWORTH WINS A VICTORY

! In he supreme court at Madison on
Tuesday decision was handed down
! ia the appeal of the suit Of the SecuTs
1 ity Trust ADD Life Insurance Co. VS..
Henry Ellsworth ct al, in which the
decision Of Judge Be1den was reversed
and the case remanded with orders
that the defendant be given the relief
demanded ii the counter claim The
opinion was written by Justice Ker-
win and concurred il by the other
mem berk Of the court
The case of the Security Trust and
Life Insurance Co. VS.. Ellsworth was
one Of the most notable cases ever
the June term Of the circuit court ia
1905 and verd ct was rendered in
favor Of the plaintiff company, which
was given a judgment of $16, 576.01.
The suit was the outgrowth of a big
insurance deal in Chicago. Harry
Ellsworth at that time was one of the
largest insurance brokers In the city
and he was employed as a general
manager for the Philadelphia com
pany. In fitting up the Offices and in
making other arrangements for the
business twenty thousand dollars was
spent and the amount was advanced
by the company on mortgage which
covered the summer home of Ellis
worth at Twin Lakes, in this county.
After the Ellsworth firm had been
acting as general agent for the COM
pany for a short time the relations
were broken and the managers of the
company at once began an action to
forec1ose the mortgage.
In his counter claim Ellsworth
claimed that he had not received the
money that had been promised him by
the company and that it had been dis
tinctly understood that the money
was never to be repaid to the COM
pany save in the way of commissions
earned by the Chicago business.
The trial of the case was of d SEN
sational order ana many of the lead
ing attorneys in the northwest were
interested in it. Under the ruling of
the supreme court it will be necessary
for the company to keep the contract
claimed by Ellsworth and allow him
to continue as the agent of the COM
pany in Chicago. Ellsworth is still
in possession Of the property at Twin
Lakes. It is claimed that the prop
erty is not valued at more than
ISL, 900.

Board Of Education 10 Make
Test of Water Filters at the
Central School Building
WATER OFTEN UNFIT FOR USE
Contract for Plumbing in New Fifth
Ward School Let to Charles III.
Goodman.-B Board to Purchase
More Property for Schools

Purer water for the schools of the
city is the aim of the Board Of Educa-
ton, and to this end the board at its
meeting on Tuesday arranged to have
water filter placed for a trial in the
Central school building, and if it
proves a success the filters will be
placed in the other buildings as rap
idly as possible.
At the meeting of the board Tues
day night there was decided pro-
test against the condition of the water
in the schools, and it was alleged that
at some times the water is so filled
with dirt that it was impossible for
the scholars to drink it, while at one
time it was, claimed that small worms
appeared in the water. The filter that
is to be put in is known as the Noxall
filter, and it is claimed that it will
have a capacity of nearly a hundred
gallofis al hour and that it will
furnish absolutely pure water.
e The company manufacturing the
filters has promised to install them
for a months trial without any cost to
the board, and if the filter proves it's
worth the system of filtration will be
extended to all the schools of the city.
The cost OF the filters will be in the
neig hborhood of SIS each. While the
water from the city mains is usually
fit for use, there are perhaps twenty
days during the year when the use of
filter is absolutely necessary to Sc
cure pure water.
The board has not yet got out of the
habit Of buying land for school pur-
poses and the meeting last night au-
fhorized the committee on buildings
and groundssto purchase a piece of
land 10 by 100 feet southeast of the
ground for the children. The Darkee
is the finest grade building in the city
but the grounds about it are so small
that it offers no place for the children
to play. 1t is understood that the
property can be bought for less than
two thousand dollars. For some time
the board had been considering plan
for the enlargement of the grounds
about the school and it is thought
that the deal will be closed at once.
The bids for the plumbing on the
new Fifth ward school were opened
at the meeting last night and the con-
tract was awarded to Charles H. Good
man, his bid being 81, 222. 80. E. ].
Sullivan had the next lowest bid with
So, $50 and Kaelber & Kraft were third
with $2,475. The successful bidder
will be forced to put up bond equal
to half the contract to secure the
completion of the work. No other
business of Importance was tram
sacted by the board.
