Madison has beautiful paved streets and
concrete sidewalks some of the most
beautiful lawns. flowers and trees, and
also large and numerous expensive state
building costing millions of dollars, one
now in construction to cost $250.000.
Thousands of students attending school
there over three thousand six hundred at
tend state university.two private academ-
les, one library school, one commercial
college, two public schools and several
large parochial schools.
Madison prides herself on her fine pub
lie building, but what great burden on
the tax payers of Wisconsin must have
been. A new state should go slow on
the matter OF expensive state buildings,
because the overworked farmer and other
laborers have to bear their share, as a
majority of the population of every state
is of this class.

my state, and more ambitious to see it

By THE JOURNALS Special wire.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22-Adrian c. Hon
ore, brother of Mrs. Potter Palmer and
a member of Chicago's most exclusive
clubs, has announced a novel defense
to the $50. 900 breach Of promise suit Of

Court. Honore answers the allegations
that he toyed with the affections of
Miss Rowden by the proposition that a
woman who is an ardent follower of a
free love" cult would not permit her
self to be tied down by the bonds Of
conventional married life.
Miss Rowden has promised to tell a
story OF her wooing by Honore IN
which midnight suppers, champagne.
a furnished fiat. and automobile rides
played an important part.
DR.. Clarence L. Rider, of Detroit and

TOLEDO ICE TRUST MEN
MUST GO TO JAIL

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. 22.-In the
cases Of Reuben G. Lennon, Eoland A.
Beard and Joseph A. Miller, Toledo ice
trust officials. who were sentenced 20
ray fine of $4,000 each and to serve
six months in the workhouse for form
ing an ice trust, the Supreme Court re-
versed the sentence and remanded the
cases to the Lucas county court for the
re sentence of the accused.
The reversal is made on the ground
that the Toledo court under the anti
trust law did not have power TO send
the ice men TO the workhouse, but could
send them to the county jail.
1t means simply that the court must
.re-sentence the ice men by ordering
them confined in the county jail instead
of in the workhouse.
The cases appealed are only three Of
more than thirty trust convictions in
Toledo in which similar sentences were
imposed and suspended pending the
result Of the appeal. All these men,
who are among the most prominent
business men in Ohio, will have to &c
to Jail.

Battle viii be Waeed for the
Control Of Convention
Delegates
~ THE JouRNAL,s speeIal VIC.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The an
nouncement of Governor Hughes of
New York. that he win consent to be-
come a presidential candidate. has set
the politicians of both parties talking
faster and speculating more wildly
than any other item Of political news
that has appeared since Roosevelt re-
iterated his third term statement. BY
making the announcement, the gov
ernor instantaneously changed matters
and opens up the prospect of the Bit
terest kind Of a battle in the Empire
State. The feud between the war
minister and Senator Foraker in Ohio
dwindles into very small proportions IN
comparison, for II the hght should be
carried to a finish between the Roosa-
velt-TaTt forces and the Hughes hosts
il is not at an unlikely that the Demo-
Gratis would sweep the State and pos
sibly the nation. Even Hughes closest
friends were taken off their feet by the
announcement, for they have been pre-
dieting with the greatest of confidence
that the governor would not declare
hims elf.
Hughes was simply smoked out,
commented friend Of Secretary Taft.
He finally realized that he must come
into the open. The longer he kept the
paddock on his lips the farther the
nomination receded from him, because
the Taft people were working like
beavers and gathering in pledges dozen
bv dozen. 1t was only a question of
ss,,,o ,.,tan averx- one of CONSEQUENCE
would be pledged. 1t is very doubtful
that the governor has much chance
now. He has waited too long.
The Hughes followers scoff at the
latter suggestion. ''That statement
viii settle the fate Of Taft in New
York" exclaimed one Of them. you'll
see them falling over themselves tc
get into the Hughes corner of the lot
like a bunch of chickens coming fol

They were engaged and on this par
ticular Decembr night were spooning

Ovitt's -year-old sister, repeated the
playful antic of the Countess Of War
wick and poured a douche of ice water
and ice down Mr.. Thackaberry's back
inside his collar.
The ardent lover was instantly
changed to an angry, explosive person.
He quarrelled with Miss Ovitt and the
engagement was broken. When the
author of the trouble arrived at years
of maturity she began to consider SER
iously the effect of her prank. Both
the lawyer and her sister remained un-
mated. She married, and now with two
children grasping her gown she has
managed TO bring the lovers of years
ago together Last night they were

PUT UP RING
FOR LICENSE
Groom From Philadelphia In
sisted on Magistrate Keep
ing It for Security
CAME HERE WITHOUT CASH

They came here to get married and
they probably did have the knot tied,
but Il was due to the kindness OF the
magistrate who issued the license that
the nupitals came off as intended. Tho
couple were William ID. Gotthold, Of
No. 2225 North Reese street, Philadel-
phia. and Miss Ada Wheaton, also of
that city. and the kind magistrate was
Squire Browman
Gotthold gave his age as 20 years
and his wife-to-be also looked TO be in
the twenties. They applied for the
license at Magistrate l3roman's Office
around the noon hour. and when the
necessary paper was made out and
turned over to the prospective groom,
and he was told the price was 50, he
gasped The story In a nutshell. is
that he didn't have the money, and
that is where the hitch came In. He
thought the price was SO cents, the
same as IN Philadelphia.
The young man and his sweetheart
stood there not knowing what TO say,
and finally the magistrate took pity on
the couple and suggested that they
could have the license en- the promise
that they would send him the money
/ Immediately on reaching home. To
this the prospective groom eagerly
agreed. and TO show his sincerity pulled
large gold ring with ruby setting
from his finger and laid it down OF

SQUARE DEAL FOR
BOND BIDDERS
All Will Stand Equal Chance
Of Getting Big County
Loan
Mr.. TOWNSEND
MAKES STATEMENT

Sylvester d. Townsend, Jr.. levy
court attorney. this morning corrected
the impression that the entire bond
issue Of $4,000 for good road pur-
poses would be sold to one person when
bids for the issue are opened by the
Levy Court on February 4. Local bank
ing circles read the announcement to
this effect with some regret, and not
a few of the persons interested called
at Mr.. Townsends Office during the
morning to learn if it were true that
ther bids for the bonds in smaller
amounts than the $4,000 would not
be considered. Mr.. Townsend assured
the mthst such would not be the case
ster Mr.. Townsend said:
Under the Legislative act author
izing the sale Of bonds for the improve
ment of county highways, the levy court
may sell and dispose Of the bonds on
the most advantageous terms possi-
bic after due advertisement.
'By a resolution of the Levy Court
passed the last day of December, under
authority of the Legislative act, the
levy court authorized the sale of all or
any part of $4,000 bonds, such sale to
be made to the highest and best bid
ders.
"The bonds are in eleven classes ma
turinf in as many different years. If
separate bids each for less than the
whole amount, aggregate the totai issue,
and cover all Of the classes, and are
for an amount greater than one bid
for all, the Levy Court would he requir-
ed to sci to the separate bidders. The
court is not required to sell all of the
bonds, but if bids are received, the
court may sci part Of the. issue and
offer the balance for sale later.
1T is not probable, however, that
there will be separate bids covering the
whole amount for the reason that per-
sons who would arrange TO bid sep
arately on the separate classes could
better club together and make one bid
on the whole issue.
