CASE CLOSED.
Tho Cout Sat Until Six O'clock Tying
 To Finish It

The case of Mrs Mary Gilbert against Morris Rosenblatt, her sonin- law to recover $7OO, was closed this noon before Judge Peasley in the dis. trict court. Court sat until 6 o'clock last evening with the expectation that the case would be finished. Bu. as most of the witnesses could speak only through an interpreter, Benja- min Witkowski. the case was pro- longed.
 One woman testified that she saw slrs Gilbert give Rosenblatt $45O i'm medlately after the wedding in one of the rooms of the house where it took place. She was asked why Mrs GIL bert gave Rosenb'a.t the money and her answer was that Hebrew women buy husbands. The idea seemed to her very pleasant one for she laughed outright, md everybody who understood her laughed too In subse- quent installments Mrs Gilbert paid her sGn-in-law about $500, making in all $700. Rosenblatt, according to some witnesses, among them his wife, wanted $500 and he was very angry because he got only $7O0.
 The defense is that the money was marriage dOwry, custom in vogue among Hebrews.
 Mrs. Rosenblatt now lives in New York City and soon after her mar riagc which took place last May she fled shit for divorce ami aiimony ai le..lng intolerable cruelty. Shc was asked if she had such suit now pending and while she said she has she intimated that she will not press 1t.

MILKMEN GET TOGETHER
Price of Milk Raised at Session Held
 h WatetoWn, Yesterday.

At meeting of milk producers from Watertown and Waterbury yes terday held in the town hall. Water town, it was voted to advance the cost of milk to retail dealers, from 8 3-4 to cents quart. Waterbury farmers claim that they didn't desire such action and Watertown folks de clare that they never would have made such a move had it not beel for Waterbury influence, and there you are. Of course thar has nothing 10 do with consumers just now, but they viii be lucky if tls.y do not have to pay the full amount of the advance made by the producers. In any case the tendency is to push up prices and many claim that they will keep at 1t until 1t reaches ten cents a quart. Everything that enters into the cost of living is going up,' said one of the producers to customer and why not milk:"

COUNTRY CURED MEATS.

Southern Agrieulturist
Since the conditions of the great
meat packing houses of Chicago
are such that the very thought of
the filth becomes stomach-mover
to an editor way down in Nash
vile, it is time we were changing
our smoke houses.
The hog growers in Tennessee
can. put up as neatly their own
meat as in any place in the world.
There is farm in Davidson
County, on which the most deli
cious hams were cured last fall,
and they sold for sixteen and sew
enteen cents per pound.
From this time forth lard and
meats from Chicago will be under
suspicion, and it behooves the
farmers of this State to prepare
theirpremisesfor curing and pack
ing meats.

EDUCATIONAL RALLY.

A great educational rally will
be held at Camden August Is, and
it will be of special interest to all
teachers and directors and others
interested in educational matters
in Benton and,adjoining counties.
State Superintendent Seymour
A Mynders, Prof. 2. P. Claxton
and other prominent and infuen-
tial educators of the State and
county will be present and make
addresses. County Superintend-
ent M. E. Woodbridge is to be
congratulated on securing these
excellent speakers for the occa-
sion.
The school interests of Benton
County have been enlived in re-
cent years; still they are not what
they ought to be and would be if
the people would give our county
superintendent their encourage
ment and hearty support.
Superintendent Woodbridge is
greatly encouraged by the work of
the past year, and his efforts in
having the rally here should, and
we believe it will, have the sup
part of the people of the county.
This can be demonstrated and the
school interests still greater en-
lived by a big gathering here at
the rally on August is.

Congress, which adjourned last
Saturday, has moved very slowly
during the past few months. In
fact, Congress always moves slow
ly. No one ever heard of anything
being done in hurry except in
time of war. Perhaps this is well,
FOR the country is a large one and
many things are to be considered
in national legislation.
However, it would seem to the
averagezcitizen that some things
might be done with more speed.
For instance, there has been con-
siderable discussion the past three
sessions on the admission of new
States. Arizona, New Mexico, In
dian Territory and Oklahoma wish
to become States. They are rap
idly increasing in population, but
Eastern Senators have held the
matter up and tried to force the
admission of four Territories as
two States. They have finally sue
ceeded in uniting Oklahoma and
Indian Territory into one State.
Their object is plain. The East
has already lost control of the
House of Representatives to a
large extent, and fears that eight
more Western Senators would
seriously imperil its sway in the
Senate.
It seems that we are not entire
ly through with sectionalism. yet.
1t used to be the North against
the South. Now it is the East
against the West. TheEast will
not give up as long as there is a
fighting chance, but the w est will
never cease to wage the conflict.
United with the South the West
is certain to win in the end, and
the South should unite with the
West. Southern men and West
ern men are doing much Of the
thinking for the nation. Southern
Senators and Western Represen-
tativesdraftedand pushed through
the railway rate bill. And other
Of great Importance to
the nation are being urged by the
men of the South and Westand in
the end they will succeed.
The reason is plain. Southern
and Western people are intelli-
gent. Still, the South can take
lesson from the West. Western
people read the newspapers more
than we do in the South. They
keep up with the times. They
know what Congress is doing and
they see to it that their Congress-
men know what they want done.
The safety Of nation depends
on the interest the people take in
the government.
tits your business to know what
Congress is doing; how your Con-
gresham is voting on important
questions; what the Legislature of
Stateis doing; what the coun-
ty court of your comfy is doing
with the money you pay as taxes;
what your trustee and all other
county officials are doing; what
your city council is doing, if you
live in town.
All of these matters are import
ant. Whether you live in Benton
County or Texas, you should keep
your eyes open and study politics
and public affairs. People who
do this have influence, and it is

The Modleaka TestimonlaI

The Modjeska testimonial at the
Mason opera house tonight has as
sumed proportions of extraordinary in
terest. While the popularity of the dis
tinguished Polish actress in this city
was never in doubt it remained for the
announcement of her farewell appear
ance In Macbeth and repertoire to bring
forth demonstrations of how deep and
sincere is the esteem in which she is
held as woman and as an artist Be
fore the curtain is raised this evening
1t is certain that every seat will be
occupied and all the available standing
room pre-empted.
While this condition has existed at
the local theater before, it is doubtful
If any audience ever assembled there
in the past was animated by the feel
ing of intimate personal interest with
the star that will exist upon this occa-
sion. Never even on other Modieska
nights, was it as deep as it will be this
time, because up till now there was
good surety that the favorite actress
would return again, if not soon AT
least at some indefinite future time.
Tonight over 800 Knights of Columbus
and their ladies will be present at the
