The Twentieth Century club was
entertained by Mrs. Donovan Thurs
day afternoon. At the meeting the
club received reports of the recent
state Federation convention held at
Fond du Lac. Mrs. Hill, president,
and Mrs. Maloney represented the
club as delegates. Miss Ellis and Mrs.
Runge being alternates. Mrs. Maloney
being unavoidably absent from the
meeting, the other three representa-
tives delivered their message brought
from the great body of earnest, intelli-
gent and public spirited women
The convention proved successful in
all respects and again proved that a
woman's convention can be business
like, dignified and highly instructive.
The reports from the federated clubs
all over the state and from the stand
ing committee of the Federation were
such as to stimulate to good works. A
report of the Peace Congress of New
York by Mrs. Crosby of Racine, was
much enjoyed. On the subject of edu-
cation and child training the program
provided great treats. Among them
Prof. Harvey's address on the Train
ing of Girls for the home and an ad-
dress, The Listening Child, by Miss
Edna Lyman of Oak Park, an expert
in the art of story telling. Prof. W. d.
Frost of the Wisconsin University was
there and gave his address on the Re-
cession of tuberculosis which, if list
ened to in every city in the county
would do much toward wiping out the
greatest scourge of our of time. Mrs.
Cushing of Milwaukee summed up
the legislation of the past session at
our capital particularly concerning the
the interests of women and children.
The subject of Home Economics was
presented in varying phares and in
ways most fascinating to women list
ners. Miss Hunt of our state univer-
sity speaking on Household Adjust
ment to Technical Development, Mrs.
John Hessler on Home Decoration and
Miss Ellen Sabin of Milwaukee Dow
ner College on the Lake Placid Con-
ference. One of the notable features
of the Convention was an address by
Rev. Florence Buck of Kenosha en-
titled, three Social SatiriStS (meaning
Mrs. Wharton, Henry James and

Fond du Lac Woman's club which en-
tertained the Federation provided re-
ceptions and other social recreation
galore and proved themselves capital

Barn inspectors Around.

Barn inspectors are now prowling
around inspecting barns, at the ex-
pense of the farmers. The fact that
there is law upon our statute books
of Wisconsin providing for the inspec-
tion of barns may be surprise to a
large number not familiar with many
of the laws of this state. The duty of
the inspector is to inspect all barns
used for houseing cattle and to see that
such barns are properly lighted, venti-
lated and kept perfectly sanitary.

PORTAGE pOSTOFFICE CASE NOT SETTLED

what he represented. 1 would ask Mr..
Porter if there is any falsehood about
this and if he thinks on mature DELHI
Grafton that all proprieties are held in

falsehoods.
Did He Take Ride.
"If Mr.. Porter would not lay his
case before the public for popular
sympathy, he must concede that the
and whether his case was decided, and
he retained in his position, on the mer-
it's or whether his continued tenure is
due to political influence. To bring
the matter Of there being no case
against him, properly before the pub
lie Mr.. Porter might answer a few
pertinent questions and for his infor-
NATION will say that it matters not to
me whether they are answered in the
affirmative or negative.
"Mr. Porter might tell whether,
when the investigation was being made
he was willing to have it decided en-
it's merits, or not; whether he appealed
to Congressman John M. Nelson and
Senator Robert LaFollett to interfere
and intercede in his behalf and if he
did appeal to Senator LaFollette if he
considered the need of the senator's
assistance so urgent that he charter
boat to cross Lake Mendoza to reach
him. If Mr.. Porter answers these
questions in the affirmative he might
tell me why, if there was no case
against him, he invoked the aid of
politicians in matter that in no way
concerned them officially.
stI have nothing to say about the
postage stamp matter; that does not
concern Miss Thomas but might sug-
gest that in order to insure that out
flow of sympathy the postmaster
seems to crave, he might make frank
declaration to the public that he has
never been party to the surreptitious
and unlawful sale Of stamps with
view of profting by raising the grade
of his Office"

SURPRISE PARTY
IN GLENv|LLE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Senator and Mrs. &. l.. Pearson were
surprised by merry group of friends
and neighbors last night at their home
in Glenville. 1t was the occasion Of
their Goth wedding anniversary. The
party dropped down on them about
o'clock and took possession of the
most beautifully remodelled home.
Beside Glenville friends there were
relatives and friends from Madison,
Lodi, Sandusky and Baraboo, and
among the callers during the day were
DIR. and Mrs. Gorst.
In behalf of their friends the Rev.
Louis A. Goddard presented them
with a beautiful picture, chocolate
set, bread and butter set and several
pieces of hand painted china. Mr..
Peck spoke nicely of the Pearsons as
friends and neighbors and after short
program of games and music, refresh
ments were served.

Because of a collection of broken
noses, broken legs, broken fingers and
dislocated bones, unequaled by any
other football team in the country, the
Lima, o., college team has cancelled
all it's schedule games and has dis
banded for the season. The team was
a strong one and played against the
Western Reserve and Mount Union
eIevens, besides several teams from
smaller institutions. Last week an
inventory Of the players revealed six
broken noses, four broken legs, eight
dislocated bones and a dozen broken
fingers. "We disband," said the cap
tain, and SO the aggregation of cripples
gave up its schedule.

Thomas letters to the department be-
ing false will say that many of the
statements were susceptible of cor
roboration, others raised an issue as to
the veracity of the two parties con-
cerned without corroborative proof.
The department, after careful consid-
Grafton, either accepted the matter
susceptible of corroboration as suffi-
cient or else took Mr.. Porter's denials
of the other matters with a grain or
two of salt.
"Mr. Porter wrote Miss Thomas
very fine letter of recommendation last
January after deciding to drop her
from service because her conduct and
capacity were not satisfactory The
original letter is now in my possession.
It is an autograph letter all his own,
one that is only excelled by a letter
given her by County Supt. Cushman,
under whom she taught for several
years. Why did he write it? In his
interview he says, 'the letter OF recon-
mendation that 1 gave to her was given
at the request of Inspector Walker so
that she might obtain position in the
Milwaukee postoffice. [ ought not to
have given such a recommendation
Mr.. Porter is right. He ought not to
have given such accommodation but
I think the public has ceased to Won
der, when 1T is reported that Mr.. Porter
has done something that he ought not
to have done. But suppose the letter
was given at the request of Mr.. Wal
ker! Mr.. Porter gave the letter, wrote
every word of it, and he is old enough
to be able to intelligently construe his
acts. Passing over the inference he
would raise that he is in need of a
guardian, that letter of recommends
ton leaves him in one of two positions,
either he gave her the letter because
/ she was good and efficient employe

The following appears in the Por-
tage Democrat:
The interview of the editor of The
Democrat with Postmaster Porter pub
lished Friday night, created quite a
stormy feeling among the friends of
Miss Thomas. In order to give all
sides fair hearing before the public
the editor of The Democrat called at
the postoffice today to give Miss Thorn
as an opportunity to speak to the pub
lie in her own behalf. She was found
quietly dispensing Uncle Sam's mail
at the delivery window. "Miss Thorn
as, have you read the interview with
Postmaster Porter in Fridays Demo-
caat?" said the scribe. "I have" says
the young lady. "Have you anything
to say in response to it?" eyes, but I
wish to refer you to my attorney, A.
F. Kellogg, who will speak for me. "
Upon calling at the attorneys office
and stating the reason for the call, he
swung his feet off the desk, adjusted
his eye glasses, reached, we thought
for the paper weight, but we were mis-
taken, it was only for mass of evil
dence in the case and then he talked
right out as follows:
"I have represented Miss Thomas
as her attorney bef ore the postoffice de
partment throughout the trouble that
has been brought upon her by Post
master Porter.
"She has been victorious, but out of
consideration for her I have desired
the matter kept out of print for the
reason that no lady can, generally
speaking profit by making public an
attempt to traduce her.
"The articles that have heretofore
been published in regard to this mat
| ter have not been traceable to Mr.. Por-
ter and we have not, therefore, taken
notice of them. Mr.. Por-
ter's interview published in
| Fridays Democrat, however, is SO, un
called for, SO brutal and contemplate
in its references to Miss Thomas and
