Since the death of her husband, she
made her home with Mrs. Lane, ex-
cept for visits of several months
duration with her sons and other
relatives.
Her early education, although
the best the country and the times
afforded, was necessarily simple;
but her broad sympathles and great
fondnass for reading enabled her
to keep in touch with the busy
world even after advancing age
compelled her to live apart She
liked 10 meet strangers, both old
and young, and her cordial friendli-
ness made her a favorite among her
friends
Charitable, high minded, unset
fish, AID Industrious, she was a
model wife, mother and friend
finding her greatest joy in the
happiness of those about her.
In SPITE of her eighty-one years
her mind was as clear, her smile as
bright, and her cheerfulness as IN

COURT CHANGES.
All Criminal Cases Must Be Called
First Day of Term.

Important changes in circuit
court practice are made by the new
rules for those tribunals, which are
drawn up by committee of circuit
judges and which have lust been
sanctioned by the Supreme court of
Wisconsin.
One OF the most important changes
is IN the rule regarding criminal
cases. Heretofore the moving of
criminal cases was in the discretion
OF the district attorney. The new
rule provides that all criminal cases
are subject to call for trial on the
trst day Of the term. Unless for
cause shown the criminal calendar
will be taken up on the first dav of
the term and disposed of before any
civil issues are tried.
An interesting provision of the
new rules, is that the district attor-
ney is required, at least ten DAYS
before the opening of a general
term OF court, TO notify all persons
IN confinement and awaiting trial of
the existence OF the rule regarding
the taking up of criminal cases and
at the same time to inform such
persons of their right to obtain
counsel and compulsory process to
secure the attendance of witnesses.
The practice of permitting papers
to be taken from the CLERKS Office is
to be stopped. Under the new rule
no paper is to be taken away except
on written order from the Judge
OF the court. Papers so taken must
be returned at once on order of the
judge or clerk and in no event NAV
be retained more than ten DAYS.
No agreement by stipulation or
consent between the parties or their
attorneys in respect to proceedings
IN the action shall be considered
binding or obligatory unless the
same shall be reduced to the form
OF an order by consent and be
entered. or unless the evidence
thereof shall be in writing, sub
scr1bed by the party against whom
the same shall be alleged.
Whenever it shall be necessary II
any petition or affidavit to swear to
the advice of counsel, a part shall.
IN addition to what has usually been
required, swear that he has fully
and fairly stated the case to bis.
counsel and shall give the nanie.
and residence of such counsel.
Considerable revision has been
made IN the rules regarding the tax
ing of dispositions outside the state
and regarding the discovery and
production of books and papers.
The rule regarding continuances
mas undergone some radical changes
which will require diligent examina-
ton by attorneys. The rule con-
corning divorce proceedings also has
been revised in essential particulars.
The rules heretofore in effect for
circuit courts and county courts
having jurisdiction in civil actions
are declared repealed. The new
rules are now effective.

State Aid for Graded Schools.

State Superintendent G. P. Cary
has announced the appointment of
state aid for state graded schools
An annual appropriation of $50, 600
is made for the purpose. The
schools are divided into two classes,
depending on the amount spent by
each district for Institutional pur-
poses and to the number of teachers
employed. All schools receiving
state aid must comply with the
study regulations imposed by the
state superintendent of public il
structiou.
The first class schools receive $500
and the second class 800 in state
aid under this appropriation. Sew
eral schools entitled to this aid have
failed to submit their annual reports
to the state superintendent, and
therefore their state aid has been
withheld. Other schools have fail
ed to comply with the Guperinten-
dents's requirements and lost their
right to part of the $4,000 In all
about twenty schools have been de-
linquent IN one or the other of these
particulars.
Among those receiving aid in
Grant county are Livingston,
Arthur, Bagley, Georgetown, Patch
Grove. In towns and cities where
high schools are esta blished, nc
benefit is derived from this fund for
the graded schools.

Stories of the Week.

Geo. BROKER lassoed an immense
bull frog while camping this week.
1t is on exhibition at Edwards Bros.
and when properly fattened on flies
will be served as free lunch. Mr..
Frog is as large as a good sized
mud turtle how, although the man
that owned the farm where George
was stated that there were still
larger ones around there that one
big fellow chased his dog all over
'he field one day recently.
Charley Harp is nearly tickled
to death since someone stole his
working clothes.
Will Walters says one of his
nelghbors east of town has started
false mustache factory and is

We heard the other day that
Mayor Miller is going to introduce
an ordinance compelling citizens to
pay taxes on bay windows. It does
seem as though a citizen should be
allowed to carry bay window in
front of him without being taxed
for it. 1t is certainly a great tax
on him to carry it, and he ig not to
blame that he is built that way.
Next they will put a tax on mans
corns, and if he gets a black eye
they will tax that. This tax ques-
ton is becoming the whole thing.

FINAL HEAT IN NEW YORKs CAMPAIGN

tween now and Saturday night Mr..
Hearst will deliver two score or more
speeches. Hurried trips will be made
to several points up state, while the
last of the week will be devoted to the
wind-up in Greater New York and vi

deniably are setting fast pace that

JOHN BURKE

HE WAS AGAINST PROHIBITION

In view of the claims being made by
certain temperance advocates in be-
half of the election of John Burke for
governor, because of his advocacy of
prohibition, the following record of his
efforts to defeat prohibition while a
member of the legislature are worthy
of candid consideration.
Mr.. Burke was member of the
House of Representatives in 1891, and
during that cession of the legislature
the prOhibitOry law. The first was
concurrent resolution providing for
the repeal of Article 20 of the State
constitution, entitled. Prohibition"
and introduced by J. w. Cope of Rich
land. A majority of the committee on
temperance, Of which L. c. Hill of
Ransom was chairman. recommended
the indefinite postponement of the bill.
Mr.. Burke. after every possible effort
to delay action, finally voted to adopt
the majority report. House journal, p.

bridge for about 200 feet, when the
forward car broke through the guard
rail and plunged into twenty feet of
water. The other two cars followed
almost Immediately, but the rear of
the third car caught on the abutment
and hung with the forward end in the
water. The rear door remained open
and through this some 20 or more
persons escaped. The Royal Artillery
band, which was on its way to At
lantic City to fill an engagement at
Young's Pier, was on the train. The
leader and manager were among those
saved. Most of the passengers are
Philadelphians.
1t is said all of the Royal Artillery
band were saved, except two. The
brakeman of the train, Walter Scott,
was drowned. The conductor, James
l.. Curtis, escaped from the third car
by jumping through a window. The
other two cars are under thirty feet
of water.

FRIGHIFUL WRECK SUNDAY AT ATLANTIC CITY.
CAUSES DEATH OF 66

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 29.-As the
details of yesterdays terrible wreck
on the electric line of the West Jer-
sey & Sea Shore railroad developed
during the night, the disaster became
more appalling. The total number of
people whose lives were snuffed out
almost instantly Is probably sixty-six,
with nearly a score injured, several
of whom it is thought, will die. For
ty-eight bodies already have been
brought to the surface. There were
ninety-one persons on the train, in
cluding fifteen passes and seventy-six
fares. Twenty-Five of this number
have been accounted for which, with
the bodies recovered, brings the total
to seventy-three. This leaves eighteen
not accounted for, and who are sup
posed to have been drowned. 1t is
possible that some of these may never
be found, as it is the belief of the
divers that some of the bodies floated
through the broken windows and were
carried by the swift current out into
the Atlantic.
At police headquarters this morning
it was stated that the effects found
on the bodies were not sufficient to
permit of the Identification of more
than six, and that Identification will
have to be made by personal inspec-
ton.
When the first two cars struck the
bottom Of the waterway, they stood
almost on end, and the first man to
descend reported that the victims were
packed in the lower ends of the SUBJ
merged cars so tightly that it was
difficult to remove them. One by one
the bodies were carried to the wait
ing train and laid side by side, later
to be borne to this city and placed
In the Empire the Atre, which was
pressed into service as a temporary
morgue.
Thousands of persons quickly gath
cred at the spot where the cars dis
appeared but they were unable to
render any aid, and could only await
the arrival of divers.
At the morgue the scenes were
pathetic. Persons who had friends on
the ill-fated cars crowded about the
room and were with difficulty res
trained from forcing their way into
the building.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-The
Railway Postal Clerks of the country
propose to ask congress this winter
to allow them a per diem for expenses
incurred while away from their homes
in the discharge of their duties. They
assert that they are the only class
of government employees who have to
pay their own expenses while away
from home. For instance, clerk
running from Washington to Pitts
burg has some eight or ten hours he
must stop over in Pittsburg on each
run. He has to get bed in which to
sleep, as he has been at work for some
fifteen hours before reaching Pitts
burg, having had to put in the whole
time of the run from Washington to
'Pittsburg and several hours before
that while his car was standing in the
Washington yards. He will also likely
have to get two meals In the time. All

A RADICAL REFORM.
In Divorce Evil in This Country Re.

suit Of Government InvestigatiOns.
Philadelphia, Oct. 29.-Judge Stake
of this city. secretary of the divorce
congress, has received from its COM
mittee on resolutions and forwarded
to the various delegates a proposed
measure for bringing about uniformity
In the present divorce laws of the
United States.
The proposed statute is the outcome
of deep study on the subject by emil
nent lawyers and jurists and promin-
ent churchmen. Its compilation was
entrusted to the resolutions commit
tee, which consists of representatives
of the congress from this state and
New Jersey, and they will unanimously
report the proposed act to the congress
which assemblies in this city on Novem-
Der 13. Practically every state and
territory will be represented at the
meeting. AS soon as practicable the
delegates will be asked to have the
proposed new law enacted in their
states.
While little or no change is made in
the given causes for divorce as now
existing, certain provisions of the new
act were evidently made with view
of arresting the increasing demand
for legal severance of martial bonds.
Under these stipulations secret or star
chamber sessions for hearing divorce
cases before masters or other repre-
sentatives of the courts are done away
with, and "all hearings and trials shall
be had before the court and
shall In all cases be public"
fe, ole l~A

pletely as to permit the remarriage of
either party should not become oper-
ative until after hearing or trial upon
the merits of the case." The Wiscon-
sin. lllionis and California rule of one
year Is recommended.
Another enactment of the proposed
new law prohibits the solicitation of a
divorce case by advertisement, circular
or otherwise.
Annulment of the marriage contract,
as distinguished from divorce, will be
made for the following causes: I'M
potency. consanguinity. existing FORM
er marriage, fraud, force or coercion,
insanity and Illegal age
Divorce, 1t is provided, shall be of
two kinds-absolute or divorce a vim
culo matrimoni, and divorce from bed
and board, or divorce a mensa ct
thoro. Under the first classification
the grounds shall be adultery, bigamy,
conviction and sentence for crime fol-
lowed by two years. continual i'm
prisonment; extreme cruelty. wilful
desertiOn and habitual drunkenness for
two years. The same causes will pre-
vail in the second class, with the ad-
ditional cause of hopeless insanity of
the husband"
No divorce shall be granted II it
appears to the satisfaction of the
court that the suit has been brought
by collusion or that the plaintiff has
procured or connivei at the offense
charged or has condoned 1t or has
been guilty of adultery not condoned.
