NOT FIT FOR CITIZENSHIP.
Saloon Keeper Who Kept Open Sum
day Denied Papers.

Springfield ILL.,, June IA man
who keeps a saloon open on Sunday
in this state is not a fit person to
be citizen of the United States. the
Illinois supreme court held yesterday.
The case was that of the United States
against Louis Hrasky of East st. Louis,
who sought to compel the government
to issue naturalization papers to him
His petition was denied.
Hrasky set up in defense that all
other saloonkeepers of his city kept
open on Sunday and the mayor and po-
lice sanctioned it, therefore, he should
not be Disseminated against. The court
said:
"It is essential to the safety and the
perpetuity of government that laws
be enforced until repealed. A decision
as to the wisdom of the Sunday clos
ing statute rests with the Legislature,
not with the court, but so long as it is
law it should be enforced"

FAMOUS LEPER TO MOVE
VIII Be Taken to New York City for
Treatment.

New York. June 17.-At a meeting
of the board of health yesterday it
was decided to offer no opposition to
the bringing of John S. Early. sus-
pected of being a leper, from Wash
ington to this city for treatment by
DR.. L. D. Buckley. This action and
the consent of the Washington
authorities to permit Early to leave
their jurisdiction will probably ter
inmate what has been a lively con-
troversy. Although the Washington
doctors, who have Early in quarantine
there, insist that he has leprosy, DR..
Buckley is just as confident that his
ailment is quite common form of
skin disease which he proposes to
cure.
When all opposition to the bringing
of Early to New York was removed,
efforts were made to induce railroad
company to transport him from
Washington, but all of the roads de-
INJURED declaring that they would run
no chances. Therefore Early will be
brought here in an automobile. which
will cost the Salvation army, of which
he is a member $50. The journey
will probably start today or to-
morrow.

has been settled upon This is the
amount of the damages that the Lara
bee Milling company received through
the failure of the Missouri Pacific com
pany to build a side track
1t is understood that this amount
has been fixed at $4,000. The SEES
sion has been kept quiet, after
the milling company had completed
the task of introducing expert testi-
mony among millers and employees of
the company.
Charles Blood Smith of Topeka, who
with Captain Joe G. Waters is repre-
senting the milling company in the
suit, said that the amount of damages
fixed SO far would reach about $4,000.
He did not announce what this
amount would cover, but from the
sort of evidence introduced indica-
tions are given that it would cover the
actual loss. The attorneys fees con-
nected with the suit and for which the
United States supreme court allowed
recovery are said to amount to more
than $4,000.
Witnesses who were introduced at
the hearing were ]. H. McNair of Hal
stead, J. A. Whitehurst of Sylvia and
William Kelly of Hutchinson. En-
ployes of the Larabee company here
brought on the stand

EMBEZZLED $4,000.
Fondness for High Living Makes
Thief of Trusted EmpIoye.

Chicago, June 17.-Revelations of
embezzlement of the funds of the
North Avenue Building & Loan asso-
citation, the known total of which is
$19,155. and may reach $4,000 came
last evening when Joseph Graezer, jr.,
secretary of the organization was
placed under arrest on charge of
stealing the money. He admitted his
guilt.
Graezer made an estimate that the
total amount probably is in the
more. Fondness for high living, be-
ing a "good fellow and betting on
horse races are the chief causes of his
downfall.
A singular side light on the situa-
ton is the fact that seven state aud
itors examined Graezer's books since
he began taking the funds nine years
ago and it was not until yesterday
that he was found out.

The Schools in L'Anse township re-

arriving in L'Anse Saturday and Sun
day last.
The attendance this year is largely
increased and very bright and studious
spirit prevails. Everyone was present
Monday morning, and among the many
that gathered together there were no
obstinate ones.
The High School has received large
enrolment of pupils, this year, twenty
new members being promoted from the
eight grade. The senior class is also
noted for its largeness. There are about
ten members in this class, and if the
scholars succeed in reaching the goal
this year, the year of 190a-l0 will bear
the distinction of having graduated
the largest class in the his tory of the
L'Anse High School.

W. 8. PATTON
In His Most Successful Play ''The
Blockhead" at LAnse Opera
House.

The simple way and naturalness of the
characters in "The Blockhead" helped
along by clever company, make pro-
duction that will linger long and pleas
antly IN your memory. In looking over
the press reports where this attraction
has appeared through this part of the
State we fail to find an adverse criti-
cism. w. B. Patton, the peculiar
comedian, is the shining star, and as
prof. Theodore Blocksom Hedding-
ton" he gives a remarkable portrayal
of an unusually beautiful character.
The play is high-class comedy with q
plot of much originality. A play Of
clean wholesome fun, and the novel way
in which it is presented is in way re-
sponsible for at least part of its big
success. The supporting company is
far above the average and the scenery
and costumes would be hard to excel.

gagement here for one night only, Fri

A wen Deserved Promotion.

William Peterson, who has been Sec
tion foreman in L'Anse and Taylor
sections for the past 1s years, was pro-
noted to the high position of road mas
ter of the Houghton division of the South
Shore, and entered upor his new duties,
Wednesday.
Mr.. Peterson succeeds w. d. Johnson,
who has been promoted to Grand road
master, and will make his future home
in Marquette. Mrs. Peterson and children
will remain in L'Anse until spring when
she will Join her husband.
Mr.. Peterson was one of the railroad
company's most faithful employees, hav-
ing been bitten taken from his section
and placed in charge of crews laying
steel and repairing and grading the
road. The people of L'Anse can i'll afford
to lose Mr.. Peterson, who was one of its
most steady, popular and upright citizen
but nevertheless they wish to congrat-
ulate him on his new position.
Carl E. johnson, who has been en-
ployed under Mr.. Peterson, will succeed
him as section foreman.
