Maynard Academy Notes

breaker, the work is better planned,
new students keep coming in, and
Ill seem to be good workers. A
more earnest and industrious student
body never gathered in the building.
The enrolment is now 90, with
everybody pulling for hundred as
soon as possible.
TLis week began the second
month of the term and the prospect
tor successful work was never
brighter.
Mrs. S. B. Downey visited us
Friday.
Misses Dora King and Bertha
Carter of Warm Springs paid us a
visit Monday morning.
Come to see us. We are always
glad to have you do so-glad to
have you spend awhile in our class
rooms or study hall.
The military drill class is getting
in fine order now and we are plan
ming to organize a company with
officers right away. We will soon
have uniforms in gray. The young
ladies have gymnasium and are
considering the adoption Of a
uniform.
An Athletic Association has been
organized with B. A. Short, Pres. E;
G. Y. Short, Sec.; and r. B. Pat
terson, Treas. Safe to say there
will be something doing in this line
at an early day.
Miss Eugenia Moore, who has
charge of our vocal and instrument
tai music classes, has been teaching
US to sing "Dixie." Our Chorus
class, which is composed of those
who take sight-singing and those
who take instrumental music, is
doing some good work. Miss
Moore is making this department of
increasing Importance.
Our mo n t hly entertainments
promise to become very popular.
They will be given at the end of
each month and will, in a measure,
reflect the work done by the school
during the month preceding. The
first os these entertainments was
given last Friday night and proved
quite a success. The audience filled
the Hall and seemed well pleased
with the occasion. The following

Husband Who Hoarded Fortune Dead;
Wife Enjoying Self With Her Share

In the suburbs of one of the three
cities there dwells a lady, we'll past
middle age, who is enjoying life-a
long years she helped her husband ac-
cumulate fortune. In those days she
was drudge and her pleasures were
few. Not that her husband was cruel
hearted, but he was niggardly to the
last extreme, and the pennies the wife
spent as her own were few and far
between. Not often did she complain,
for she was dutiful wife, but on one
or two occasions her dire need drove
her to desperate measures.
1t is related that once, when the "old
man" had climbed up to repair the
roof, the wife saw her chance, and,
taking the ladder down, kept her
spouse cooling his heels astride the
ridge pole till he capitulated and
threw down so cents
But the hard times are now over.
The husband is dead and he left a for
tune of no mean proportions. of which
the wife received large share. And
the widow is enjoying life. She is
spending the money. Not only does
she buy good clothes for herself and
frequently visit the city to see the
sights, but she has received with open
arms a niece who came running from
somewhere when "auntie" was left
alone.
The niece, who has been married,
shares in the good things, and some
are of the opinion she rather gets the
lions portion. Not only that, but she
has discovered an affinity" and at
last accounts both she and her beau
were living with the old lady while
making ready to be married. The ro-
nance, it is whispered about, is to
have the effect heightened with costly
New York raiment, and the wedding
will be a swell affair. The groom-to-be
has discontinued working and he and
his fiancee devote much of their time
trying to educate auntie to a correct
appreciation of her social responsible.

things money can buy.
Having had so little experience in
handling cash in her earlier days

and is getting quite a reputation

Interest in the investigation of the
circumstances surrounding that fake

instead of the $4,000 which Goodman
claims to have lost, being the amount

Matte Homer, 1G-year-old girl who

Judge Ramsay Denies Motion
to Dissolve Dubuque njunc-
ton in Circuit Court.
HEARS ARGUMENTS ON 1T
Says Disputed Facts Can Not Be De-
termined Until Final Hearing
Holland in the City.

President Edward Holland of the
Three-Eye league, and the league Off
GERS and clubs are still enjoined from
interfering with Dubuque or attempt
ing to enforce any order to GUST that
club. Judge F. d. Ramsay in the cir.
cult court this morning denied the no
lions of the defense to dissolve the
injunction.
Arguments were made on behalf of
the motion by S. r. Kenworthy and
by Louis FitzHenry of Bloomington,
the Dubuque interests being repre-
scented by C. B. Marshall of searle &
Marshall.
Gives Ruling Briefly.
When he had heard all the argu-
ments in the matter, Judge Ramsay
gave his decision very briefly. He
said that in his opinion there could
be no decision other than the injunc-
ton remain in force He added that
there are disputed questions of fact,
and that he could not decide these, in
this proceeding. but that they must
be determined by a hearing Of the
bill on its merits. Mr.. Marshall pre-
scented affidavits, but the judge as
sured him that any argument was I'M
necessary.
Judge Ramsey by questions asked
by Mr. FitzHenry during the course
of the argument, implied a doubt as
to the authority of the clubs to GUST
any member of the league under any
conditions. His questioning Indicated
that it might be questioned whether
the majority vote of the league was
even sufficient to GUST a member He
minated that il might prove to be
the fact in law that the only way the
league could be rid of a member would
be by disbanding and recognizing
In effect his remarks intimated that
he is slightly of the opinion that each
club of the league has as great rights
as those of any other club this being
a voluntary association.
More may be heard of this question
later.
Now What.
Now that President Holland has
beep defeated once more in the court
what next? The injunction is il
force. and certainly will be for some
time to come, or until the matter cal
be heard in court on its merits.
