MORTON GIRL WINS.

"A very enjoyable program was
rendered last Friday evening at the
Christian church, by the contestants
for a silver medal. The selections
were interesting and we'll given.
While the judges were making their
decision Miss Ellen Lyman gave a
reading. which was very well rem
dered.
The contestants were the Misses
Mabel Brown, Edith Burmeister,
Helen Pharo, Mildred Aiken, Ethel
Anderson and Maud Little. The
judges decided in favor Of Miss
Helen Pharo Of Morton, the young
est Of the contestants, who had but
recently entered the contest for the
sake Of making up the required
number.
The Judges, not being acquainted
with the contestants, were not aware
that they were taking the prize
away from the Redwood girls, but
in view of Miss Pharo's excellent
speaking, they could not regret
their decision. They hope. however,
that Redwood may soon be meas
ured again against Morton, with
perhaps better success. We are look
ing for gold medal contest in the
near future, in which the contest
ants will be the winners of the
silver medals in the previous con-
tests.
These contests are well worth
working for, even for those who
fail. After all, the failures are not
real failures, but steps toward sue
cess.

Causes of Outrages A.
9ainSt ROumanian
Jews

More serious than ever in the whole
history of the Jews in Roumania is the
phase upon which it is now entered. "A
new factor has been brought into play
which gives a very grave aspect to the
latest developments. Hitherto the agl-
tation against the Jews had been con-
fined more or less, to the official classes
and the so-called educated classes, who
use the Jew for their political ends, and
are at one in limiting the sphere OF his
activity Thus the Jew was slowly elm
mated from the schools, the army and
the civil service and by other restrictive
legislation the arts and trades had been
taken out of his hands. Great Difficult
ties were placed in the way of his obtain
ing naturalization, and the Jews were
declared in so many words, 'aliens not
subject to an alien power,' and were
therefore left to the tender mercy of any
petty official Of the Roumanian govern
ment Hitherto, the rural population,
the peasantry have shown themselves i'm
mune against infltration Of anti-Semitic
poison, attempted with growing success
during the past few years. The school
master, the clergyman brought up in the
poisoned atmosphere of seminaries in the
great towns-these, together with the
mayors of the villages, have slowly OBJ
tained hold over the peasants. They
are now the usurers, owners OF pubic
houses and transact all their business on
terms of extreme eXtortiOn on the unfor-
tunate peasantry who are tied hand and
foot, and who can not fight against these
combined forces These facts have been
borne out by investigations in many OF
the rural districts where the peasants

The former vice e-president of the Rou

WON'T STAND Sinking
Mayor Green Issues Orders to City
Employees.

City employees will have to begin their
days work at o'clock promptly and
put in the required eight hours to the
of Importance that Mayor Green has
handed down to the men who profit by
reason of being on the city's pay roll.
Especially does the order refer to the
street commissioners force The street
laborers have not always been prompt
ly at the place where they were assign
ed to work at eight o'clock. The men
gather at the city yard, near the Melan
bridge shortly before eight o'clock and
ride out to the place of work on street
department wagons. Sometimes they
have still been on the way when the
clocks chimed eight.
No more of this, says the new mayor.
THE men are paid for eight hours and
their time. Eight hours is not a long
time to work. The men should be at
the place where their work is at eight
o'clock and not on the way" said Mayor
Green.
The above conversation was a part of
the burden of the instructions which
Mayor Green gave John Rodgers, city
engineer with reference TO the employ
es of that department also.
The men report at the office before
eight o'clock for instructions and usual
ly commence work by eight o'clock"
said the city engineer. II shall see that
your orders are carried out to the letter
though.
Il have given over the emoluments of
the office of county surveyor though I
still have the office in name. I shall
engage a man from time to time to
carry on the work in the county sur
veyor's office" continued Mr.. Rodgers.

St. Louis Man Threw Clothing Away
and Led the Band.

st. Louis. April 12-Ten thousand per-
sons cheered and howled at the ball
park in the sixth inning, when the
Browns scored run-the only run of the
game-on the Worlds Champion White
Sox. The crowd was not cheering be-
cause of the runs so much as at the
frantic acts of a man in the pavilion,
who began to disrobe- Jumping from
seat to seat until he reached the railing,
he threw his hat on the field. Then he
pulled off his coat and sent that, too,
on the ground, while he yelled. Then he
jerked off his waistcoat, and, with mon
ey, watch and papers flying from his
pockets, sent that onto the field.
He leaped upon a chair, seized the
bandmaster's baton and began to lead
the band After the game. the fan, still
swaying his arms, led the band around
the ball park, celebrating the victory.
