s-HouR LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
So Declares Wisconsin Supreme cour,
in Decision.

Madison, Wis. Sept 30-The SUI
preme court Tuesday declared as I'M
constitutional the Wisconsin eight
hour railroad telegraphers' law, which
was enacted at the 1907 session of the
legislature. The law is declared I'M
constitutional on the theory that it is
in conflict with the provisions of the
federal constitution which clothes con-
gress with the power to regulate inter-
state commerce and further on the
theory that congress having already
provided law fixing the hours Of rail
way telegraphers from 8 to 13 hours,
1t was not within the power of the
state to enact law which would in
effect change these hours of labor
In effect the decision is one of the
most far reaching of the court, as it
practically prohibits the state enact
ing laws relating to the hours of labor
on inter railroads as long as there is
federal statute in force

Democratic Candidate for County
Superintendent of Schools.

Miss Emma Fallgatter, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Superintendent of
Schools of Howard county, is resident
of Elma, and daughter of the late
Daniel Fallgatter who was favorably
know throughout the county. At the
regular convention of her party, she
was unanimously chosen for the office
for which she is we'll qualified.
Miss Fallgatter is a graduate of the
Elma High School in the class of '93.
Having desire for public school work,
she began special preparation for her
vocation, and attended for nearly two
years the Iowa State Normal School,
and later the University of Minnesota.
AS teacher and instructor, she has
been very successful, as her record
shows in the two schools in which she
has has taught for period of twelve
years, namely; three years in the rural
schools in Howard township and in the
Elma Public Schools for the past nine
years where she has made an enviable
record.
We have reason to know that she is
well informed upon public school prob
lens. Not only has she attended In
stitutes and Summer.Sessions in her own
county, but in other places as well,
thus becoming familiar with school
methods in different localities.
We believe the progressive policy
for which she stands, and the liberal
views which she maintains, should meet
the approval of the people, not only
from partisan standpoint, but all
those interested in the vital principles
of public schools.

How to Carry Money About.

A man is safe from pickpockets If
he carries his money In his trousers
pocket, says an experienced detective.
A hip pocket is simply delusion.
The breast pocket is no safer when the
coat is buttoned, because the man who
is after the money located there has
only to slit the cloth with a sharp lit
tie knife blade set in ring. Carry
money in the right trousers pocket,
and it will never be picked. AS for
jewelry, when i'm a crowd twist the
watch chain around the left thumb or
index finger and don't let go, no matter
what happens. A man is lucky if he
wears diamond pin for year, no
matter what safety attachments it has.
Some thief will even cut off portion
of the necktie to get it. Beware of
rushes, jostling in crowd. In crowd
1t is better to be pushed or even little
hurt than put up your hands.
