MEMBERS IN A TILT

Wordy Battle Engaged in at Library
Board Meeting Monday Night-Stone
Accuses President Daily Of Wanting
to be the "Whole Show"-DaIy OBJ
jected to Librarian Being Granted
Vacation Without Formal Action Of
the Board.
President A. c. DAILY, of the board
of trustees of the public library, and
Henry Stone, of the book committee
Of the board, engaged in lively tilt of
words at Monday nights regular
meeting, because Mr.. DAILY objected to
the librarian, Mrs. Grace K. Haviland,
having recently been granted a short
vacation without the knowledge of the
board. Mrs. Haviland went with the
permission Of the book committee, of
which Mr. Stone is chairman, and
placed in charge, while she was away,
Miss Sparks.
To this Mr.. Daily objected.
Claiming IL WAS d. uOOSe, dIlu
unbusinesslike way Of manag-
ing library affairs. After delivering
his objections at some length, Mr..
Stone interrupted him with: I'VE are
not lot of children, we are all grown
up and are working for the interests
of the library. I'll tell you, Mr.. Daily"
continued Mr.. Stone, you needn't
lecture me for I'll pay no attention
to you. Under the same conditions
we will do just as we did. You want to
be the whole thing. You want to run
things too much"
when you do so, shall
criticjse you, for other mem
bers of the board have found fault"
replied Mr.. Daily. But Mr.. Stone re-
fused to apologize for the committees
actions, and the few days salary for
the librarian while she was away was
voted her.
Little business of Importance was
transacted. The librarians monthly
report showed sixty-four books add
co, and fifty-eight new readers reg
istered. The books circulated num-
bered 4,728, and the total receipts were
$27.30.

was honored by his townsmen many
times by being elected to different Of
fees. He served as justice of the
peace in LeGrand township for eleven
years, and was postmaster at LeGrand
five years. He was also township COM
mitteeman for number of years.
Mr.. Simkins' friends brought him
out for the council a year ago, when he
was defeated by Councilman Sieg. His
name was not mentioned until late IN
the campaign. and as he secured
very flattering vote he believes he will
be the choice of g. large number OF
voters of the ward this year. Mr..
Simkins is not bound down to any one
faction in city politics, and believes in
a business administration for the best
interests of the ward and the city.

Truant Officer Drags Into Court Faith
ers Whose Children Are Out Of
School.
Six fathers, who, 1t is claimed, have
not been exercising enough diligence
in looking after the education of their
children, were in Justice Clarks court
Monday evening to answer to warrants
charging them with refusing to send
their children to school, The six sum-
moned to appear were John Robinson,
May street; w. Houseman, Player
street; Edward Hilleman, corner of
Nevada street and Twelfth avenue;
James Allen, East Nevada street; G.
f. Stewart, 404 South Second street.;
and Lewis johnson, colored, 300 North
Ninth avenue. OF the six, Stewart
and Johnson failed to appear. Tru-
ant officer Liebig filed the informa-
lions on which the warrants We're is
sued.
Each Of the four arraigned was
found guilty and fined SO and costs.
Sentence was suspended in each case.
on the promise that the children would
be sent to school at once.
The defense in two of the cases was
that the children had no clothes suit
able to wear. In two others the lads
had been suspended, and had never
made an effort to make their peace
with the superintendent.
Another warrant was to have been
issued for father of four hopefuls,
who, however, on investigation, were
found to be suffering with the itch.
The case will not be prosecuted at
once.

Supervisor Jones and Attorney
f. L. Meeker Clinch In the
Court Room
nYsTANDERs SEPARATE THEM
When Supervisor Accuses the Lawyer
Of Stealing Certain Records the Lat
ter Calls Him a Liar and the Super
visor Strikes a Singing BIow-Fisht
,Ensues and Blood is Drawn.

Blood was spilled and hard blows
were exchanged in one-round bout'
which, with suddenness of execution,
punctuated the usual quiet proceedings
of the district court room late Monday
afternoon, and which furnished as prin-
cipals County Supervisor w. H. Jones
and F. L. Meeker, a well known attor-
ney, and member of board Of COM
missioners of insanity.
The trouble arose during the court
recess while Mr.. Meeker's case was
being heard by Judge Caswell. Meeker
had prepared a statement of facts to
submit to the county's attorney. While
leaning over the table discussing the
document with another attorney, Sup
ervisor Jones, from the opposite side
OF the table accused Meeker of stealing
records from the county auditors Of
flee in reply to Meeker's complaint
that Jones had made certain notations
on the bill in question. You're liar"
exclaimed Meeker, to the charge that
he had stolen records. Jones struck him
in the face. Meeker threw an ink stand,
bounded over the table and both men
clinched, finally being separated by the
bystanders. Both then left the court
room.
Previous to this trouble the case had
been up and one witness had been ex-
amined. It was then proposed that the
case be carried on it's merits to the SUI
preme court provided Judge Caswell
would give consent, as the amount in
volved is about $50, and too small a
sum to carry to the higher court by the
usual appeal. Judge Caswell said he
was willing, provided the attorneys
would get together and agree on
statement of facts on which the case
could be presented to the supreme
court. A recess was granted while
Mr.. Meeker prepared this statement,
and it was while he was submitting 1T
to Mr.. Carney that the trouble oc-
CURED.
The case brought by Mr.. Meeker is
one in which he is suing the county
for pay for his services as a member
OF the board of commissioners of in
sanity in cases where the board has
acted on applications for the parole of
.fnebriates and insane patients sent
from this county to the state hospitals.
The commencement of the suit
caused Mr.. Jones to hold unklndly
feelings toward Mr.. Meeker, and MI.
Meeker says that bad blood has exist
ed between them for some time.
DR.. w. S. Devine, another member
Of the board, has a similar suit against
the county for smaller amount.

A good natured contest for appoint
ment as postmaster is now on. G. H.
Smith, ex-county treasurer, is can
'didate to succeed ]. @. Saint, whose
second term will expire June 30 next.
Mr.. Smith has been given strong as
surances of support from local repub-
leans who are close to Congressman
Cousins. Postmaster Saint realizes
that everybody does not get a third
appointment, after having served
eight years, but he is a candidate for
such honors if it is the desire Of the
osople Of Marshalltown and county
that he continue to serve as their post
master.
Both Saint and Smith will be in the
field within few days with petitions,
lining UP their local support, and it is
presumed that the appointments will
be determined upon during the spring
months.

STATE LOTTERIES.

they Were Once Very Common and
/, Very Popular In Europe.
Lotteries were common in ancient
Rome, and during the middle ages lot
teries were utilized by the Italian mer
chants for the disposal Of their goods
Some Of the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as a means Of raising reve.
nre, and the institution of state lot.
teries afterward became very com.
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery of
which there is any record was in 1869,
when 10000 chances were sold at 10
shillings each, the drawing taking
place in the west door Of st. Paups
cathedral.
The prizes consisted Of articles of
plate, and the profits were employed
for the repair Of certain harbors. Early
in the reign Of Queen Anne private lot
teries were suppressed "as public nui-
sauces." but government lotteries, how
ever, were still maintained, and from
17O9 to 1924 considerable sums were
annually raised In lotteries authorized
by acts Of parliament.
The average yearly profit to the gov
eminent from 1893 to 1924 was over
$4,000. On the ground of injury to
public morals lotteries Of all kinds
were abolished In England in 1896

DESERVING OF SUPPORT
Or Morris Candidate for State
treasurer, Honored Pioneer.


treasurer, honored Pioneer.
The nomination of DR.. j. B.
Morris at Lewiston as state treas.
urer on the democratic ticket re-
calls the fact that he was the first
practicing physician in Idaho
county away before the Indian war
when the county was very much
larger than it is now. A few months
prior to the outbr eak DR.. Morris
had gone to San Francisco to at.
tend a course of lectures by eminent
medical men at some of the big
hospitals of that city, and was on
his way home to Mt. Idaho when
the news reached Portland that the
Indians were on the warpath. DIR.
Morris Immediately took the first
steamer to Lewiston, where he was
given a gun by order of Gen. How
ard, who also detailed the hospi-
tai stewart at old Foit Lapwai to
accompany him to Mt. Idaho. The
stage road over Craig's mountain
was invested by the hostiles, and
DIR. Morris and his companion
made detour through the reserva-
ton, riding all night and arriving
at Mt. Idaho late at night, where
he was received with open arms,
and accorded the warmest recep-
ton of his life. He was the first,
and for many days the only physi-
clan on the ground, and the Is
wounded victims of the hostiles
whom he found at Mt. Idaho
awaiting his care kept him fully
occupied for some time. This great
government of the United States
has never recognized his invalu
able services to this community on
that occasion by reimbursement or
otherwise, although monuments
have been erected at public ex-
pense to less meritorious actions in
Indian warfare in other states.
But DR.. Morris has the everlasting
esteem of all the survivors of that
memorable campaign, and while
there are not many left, he is sure
of the votes of every one of them.
Like other pioneer doctors in
pioneer communities DR.. Morris
did a vast amount of charity prac-
tice in riding over this county in all
kinds of weather and on all kinds
of roads, attending patients who
were too poor to pay a fee, and his
kindly offices in this respect have
erected in the hearts of the recipi-
ents monument more enduring
than marble or bronze.

FORGET YOURSELF.
Ne One Can Grow While Hi
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.

Ne One Can Grow While His
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con-
sciousness is disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can new
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject OF
self analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear, what others
will think Of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radi-
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self conferred. The sympathies Of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self consciousness
acts as a paralysis to all expansion
strangles enlargement. kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability. The mind
which accomplishes things looks out,
not In; It is focused upon its object,
not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been uncon-
sclously performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent longings, the
secret warnings Of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing a
critical audience. The daily desire is
the perpetual prayer, the prayer that
Ii heard and answered.-Success.
