Good
Entertainers

One of the most enjoyable dances
of the season was given last night by
the Warren Engine Company in COM
meration of the 45th anniversary of
the founding of the organization. The
hall was filled with dancers and the
Warrens as usual proved themselves
to be the best of hosts.
The hall was tastefully decorated
for the occasion and the music apt
floor were all that could be asked for.
During the evening a fine spread
was served and it was early this
morning before the musicians played
the final dance and the party was
at an end.

out of Humboldt county where it has
been pending for over four years.
The suit involves the water rights
to water in the Quinn River valley
which are claimed by both parties in
the suit. Previous to the death of
Mcconnell who was known to
a number of people in this city having
acted as senator from Humboldt coun
ty during several sessions of the leg
islature, who owned the property for
over 80 years no question of the water
rights ever came up but four years
ago considerable property in that dis
trict changed hands and the question
was raised which has resulted in the
present suit.
! Owing to the. fact that Judge Far
rington before his appointment to the
federal bench was an attorney for
the Anderson Land company he was
disOualified from sitting IN the case
and for this reason Judge Van Fleet

incorporation the Trustees have Or
dered the urchase of all shares out
of the cash on hand upon a pro rata
basis, in proportion to the amount
paid to the company in cash. which
when computed amounts to a return
of about one-twentieth more than
+ two-fifths part, or ten and ne-half
cents per share for each share of the
54,0O5 shares of treasury stock sold at
25 cents per share, or $5,s7O.55; and

Former lows Foot Ball Captain and
Quarterback Will Take Charge Of
Government Athletics at Lawrence,
Kas. Will Also Teach in institute.

Maurice Kent, former star quarter
back and captain Of the Iowa foot ball
team, also prominent in other branches
of S. u. 1. athletics, has decided to
identify himself with Haskell Institute,
a government Indian school at Law
renee, Kas. Mr. Kent will leave for
Lawrence within the next few weeks.
Mr.. Kent has a verbal contract with
the institute management to take
c,aarge of the athletic work of the
school during the approaching school
wear. but there was nc written agree
ment. After the understanding with
Haskell Mr. Kent was offered a bet
ter position with East Des Moines high
school. He preferred the latter posi-
ton for other reasons, and tried to get
some one who would prove satisfactory
to Haskell to take his place there.
Failing in this he has decided to go to
Haskell rather than break his word
even tho there is no written contract
in existence.
In addition to coaching the foot ball
team this fall basket ball and indoor
base ball teams in the winter, and the
base ball team next spring, Mr.. Kent
will have a teaching position in the in

Willard Claims That Care is
Taken to Keep Justice Court
Costs to Minimum
CITES INSTANCES IN POINT
Says He Refused to Issue sdbpoenas
for Witnesses in Doud Harvey Case
Unless Witnesses Had Actually Seen
the Trouble Also Shows How
Other Costs Are Kept Down.

Justice I. s. Willard is inclined to
take issue with the statement that
the justices are not careful in trying
to keep expenses Of trials from becom-
ing extravagant, and says that there
are some features which favor the
Justices, and which do not appear in
the criticism offered by the county
board Of supervisors in the resolution
which they passed at their meeting
Thursday.
VII the case Of Otto Albers. referred
to In the Times Republican, there were
two charges against Albers, one of
assault and battery. and one of en-
gaging in an ARRAY" explained Justice
Willard. in the first case l found him
not guilty. and in the second case
guilty, imposing fine of SIS, suspend
ed On good behavior. IL he had been
guilty in both cases he would have
had to pay the costs in both cases,
but as he was found guilty in but one
case he was only due to pay the costs.
He did pay half the costs of these
prosecutions, but that does not appear
in the criticism Of the magistrates by
the supervisors.
SIN the case Of Doud VS.. Harvey, the
Timber Creek people, when that case
came before me l refused to issue
subpoenas for any witnesses who had
not witnessed the trouble. There were
only three or four of these. I took
pains to ascertain in advance what
material witnesses could be had and
confined the subpoenas to them. have

expenses down and to learn that witt

fore issuing processes which will cost

stori.. Of Bishop Potter.

(E'rom the New York SUM
1t was after the marriage of Bishop
Potter and Mrs. Clark that the story
of his stepsons was told among his
friends. The second Mrs. Potter had
several sons who We're grown up a.
the time of the wedding, but much
younger than was their stepfather.
Bishop Potter also had several daush-
tiers.
DO you know, think I'll ask your
daughters Mrs. Potter said one day
to her husband, ito call me Elizabeth,
by my first name"
The bishop was contemplative for
second.
Perhaps you had better not after
all,' ne answered with his invariable
calmnuss. III you did maybe your sons
would want to call me Henry"
The suggestion, made as 1t was In a
spirit Of humor, appeared to the wife,
and his daughters were not requested
to call her Elizabeth.
One Of his parishioners was shocked
lat his attending high" church.
And you mean to say that you were at
that church, bishop?" she said to him
one day. Don't you know they call
that man 'father!' Don't you think this
Is outrageous?"
20, can't say that do. Mrs. Smith"
was the deliberate reply of the bishop.
HE certainly has right to be called
father. Everybody tells me that he has
five attractive children. i five don't
give man the right to that title Id
like to know how many 1t takes
The Potter family at one time repre-
sented the most conventional of New
York's social ideas, but that was as
far back as the time in which Mrs.
James Brown Potter became an act
ress. It was not, as matter OF fact,
an unprecedented thing for a bishop to
have relatives on the stage. Marie
Wainwright, for instance, is the
daughter of bishop. But until the
wife of Bishop Potter's nephew took to
the professional stage nothing Of the
kind had happened in New York. II
was once, while celebrating Found
ers' night at the Players club that one
Of small party in a corner joked the
bishop about the propriety Of his pres
ence in q club Of actors.
20. l realize how we'll I am suited
to this gathering" he said with a
twinkle in his eye. "You know actress
