Cured at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

day evening. A baby daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Beddow, aged about
two years, died suddenly as the result
of partaking of some medicine for
heart trouble, which the father had in
the house for his own use. The little
girl, who had arrived at that age when
climbing is INDUCED in, was playing
about the house, and, unbeknownst
to her parents, climbed up to cup
board and seeing the medicine, helped
herself to a dose, and got down and
resumed her playing. In few mo-
ments she was taken violently ill and
lived but a few minutes, despite all
that could be done. Mrs. Mat
garet Smith, one of the highly respect
ed pioneer residents of Coffin's Grove
township, died at her home in that

and patient suffering. The funeral was
held Wednesday forenoon, at the Cath

Special to Times-Republican
Parkersburg. Feb 16.-There bids
fair to be lively rumpus In Parkers-
burg school matters over the purchase
OF piano for the nigh school room.
For some considerable time the pupils
of the high school have given enter
tainments for the purpose OF raising
money for a piano. They have saved
something over one-half enough to
purchase good instrument.
Last fall the school board passed
resolution to add money enough to the
fund to purchase suitable instrument
and committee was appointed by the
members of the board to get bids and
to purchase, subject to the approval OF
the board, the best instrument they
could get for the money. This COM
mittee has not reported. Last week
a member of the board, not on the
committee, and who deals in pianos
placed one OF his Instruments in the
high school room; billed the board
thru another dealer; had the bill for
the instrument O. KID by majority
of the school directors and presented
the same to the secretary of the board
and demanded that an order be drawn.
II has been customary heretofore
to have the secretary pay out bills
when the same were recommended
to be paid by majority Of the direc-
tors and have the bill and account al
lowed and passed upon at the next
meeting. In this case, however, the
secretary hesitated to draw warrant
and during the interval of his deliber-
alton several OF the patrons of the
school filed a written protest with the
secretary, demanding that he should
not issue warrant for the payment
of the piano until authorized to do so
at regular meeting Of the board, and
not until the piano committee regular
ly appointed make its report, and that
when the board met to take up the
matter of the purchase that the school
committee have the opportunity to go
before the board and express its de-
sires In the matter.
In one instance one of the directors
has his name down granting the pay
ment Of the bill for the piano while
the name Of the directors wife appears
on the protest filed against the pay
ment Of the bill. The high school chill
dren or some Of them, claim that the
piano now placed in the school room Is
unsatisfactory.
Some Of the members most interested
in behalf OF the high school committee
are discussing openly whether or not
a school director selling piano to ths
high school and acting as agent for
pianos violates the provision OF the
school law which makes 1t misde-
meanor for director to act as an
agent or dealer Of school supplies.
There may be more music for the
lawyers than for the pupils before the
matter is adjusted.

thought Dodrill may have been way

Mason City, Feb. 16.--The most dam
aging evidence yet submitted by the
plaintiff In the case of the Co-Opera-
tive Society of Dougherty against their
former manager. Wendt, who is ac-
cused of shortage in accounts. was
that OF Miss Mary Anderson, expert
bookkeeper. Miss Anderson found the
books showed shortage of $1,146.54.
but that also there was $5,141.54 worth
Of business which could not be &C
counted for in the regular way. Her
examination Of the books revealed that
serious omissions had been made
equalling that amount and that there
was nothing showing where this money
actually went.
y Rather peculiar situation was de-
veloped yesterday by the examination
Of Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Wendt's assist
ant, which for a time looked as if it
might be the solution Of the entire
shortage and that after all Wendt was
not guilty4of appropriating any Of tho
money. This Testimony brought out
1.-THE fact that when patron bought
coal he usually was charged for the
amount and an account opened with
him in the ledger. Later when he sold
the society grain the amount he owed
for the coal was deducted without
giving proper credit on the ledger and
while the books did not actually show
1t, the debt was paid in oats or grain.
These coal accounts were rated as
assets by the directors at their annual
meeting when an attempt was made to
settle with Wendt, but when the pat
.rons claimed their accounts had been
settled with grain, trouble began.
The trial was expected to last but
three days. but this is the fifth day
and the prosecution is not thru yet.

Pathetic Story of the Struggles
Of Russian Family to

WIFE AND CHILDREN SENT BACK
Refused Admission to This Country
Once and Again Turned Back From
Liverpool-Third Effort to Join
Husband and Father in Burlington Is
Successful.
Special to Times Republican.

Burlington, Feb. 16.--John Janson, an
employee in the West Burlington shops,
is one of the happiest men in Burling-
ton. Janson Is a native of Russia, and

Russia to his adopted land. After be-
ing returned to Russia once from New

means to bring them TO Burlington.
and having to turn back a second time
from Liverpool on account of the i'll
ness Of one of the children, the mothe.
and little ones finally reached this
city, and are with the father at the
modest little home in Lincolnville.
The story of Janson's struggles to
save enough to bring his family to
America Is exceedingly pathetic. 1t
also illustrates how harshly just law
may sometimes operate upon the poor
immigrants who come to our shores
Mr.. Janson came from Libau, Russia.
about four years ago, and secured en-
ployment in the shops at West Bur-
lington. He labored indrstriously and
carefully saved his wages so that his
wife and children might follow him to
America. After two years had elapsed,
he had saved enough to bring the loved
ones to America, and sent the money
home to pay the expenses Of their
passage. But thru ignorance of the
law, and inability to speak our Lam
guage. he failed to send a, sufficient
amount to pay the railroad fare to
Burlington. So the mother and chill
dren arrived in this country almost
penniless, and under the law had to
be sent back to Russia as paupers.
In the meantime Janson was expect
ing to be notified of their arrival in this
country. so that he might send money
for their transportation to Burlington.
Imagine his disappointment when he
two months later received from his
wife letter explaining what had hap
pened. The hard earned money had
been spent for naught. but the father
did not lose courage. Setting to work
VAIN AShCWSu ASdA, uS Ildu WltulH d
year accumulated sufficient sum to
pay for second passage of his fam
lily. He again sent money, not forget
ting to provide for their transporta-
ton to Burlington. The wife and chill
dren started q second time on their
long journey, but upon reaching Liver
pool, one of the children became af-
fiicted with sore eyes, and was not
permitted to go aboard the vessel
There was no other alternative than to
return again to Russia.
Expecting the arrival Of the wife
and children in October, Mr.. Janson
had purchased little home and had
everything in readiness when he re-
ceived word Of the second misfortune,
which had befallen his family. This
disappointment was much more keen
than the first, but he did not lose
heart After few months, he again
gathered the money together, and sent
it to Russia, taking special care that
there should be no irregularity. A
third time the family started for
America and this time they succeeded
