AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATION

Already American and Canadian
papers are beginning to talk about
celebrating the one hundredth ami
versary of the war Of 1872: Except
on the principle that every event i'm
U pOrtant enough to be remembered
must be celeb rated after one hundred
& years, we see no great call to make a
fuss over the war Of 1872. We were
nagged into the quarrel by restric-
tions put upon neutral commerce by
the c0ntending forces in the Napoleon
ic wars. The policy represented by
the British orders on council was no
more oppressive than that represent
ed by Napoleon's Milan DEGREES. But
we seem to suffer moe from British
restrictions because that power had
I 2 navy to enforce them. In our ju-
venile irritation and bumptiousness
we rushed without preparation into a
I war that would have been ruinous
had not England been exhausted in a
larger struggle. The trivial land bat
ties of that war were neither honor
able to us nor very creditable to the
unyarying victors. We have always

number Of frigate duels, but these

Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die

I'm 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-.
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and Improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. | am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that I ought
to let you know Of the wonder
ful good results from its use"

This proves what Dr.. Miles
Heart Remedy will do. Get a

It does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty

AN INDICTMENT ISSUED
Calvert SpensIey Appears Before
Judge A. l.. SanbOrn and
Gives Bonds.

On the third page Of this paper is
printed a report of the findings of the
federal grand jury in regard to the
charges against Calvert Spensley, pres
ident of the closed First National Bank
of Mineral Point.
The Indictment Of Mr.. Spensley is
based on the fact that the bank account
of the finn of Spensley & 'McIlhCn
was overdrawn in a sum of several
thousands Of dollars, and that Calvert
Spensley drew checks of Spensley &
McIlhon at different times when there
was no money to the firms credit in the
bank. These checks were called worth
less by the grand jury, because the ac-
count had been overdrawn.
The charge is also made that Calvert
Spensley signed false reports to the
comptroller of the currency, stating
that there was no Indebtedness of the
directors to the bank.
Mr. Spensley says that he stands
ready to disprove these charges, and to
show that the account Of Spensley &
McIlhon was abundantly secure, and
further that the claim has never been
made that the bank suffered loss on
account of these overdrafts.
Mr.. Spensley understood for some
time past that in all probability the
federal grand jury would issue an in
dictment against him. He therefore
notified his attorney, R. NJ Bashford,
that he would appear in Madison when
wanted to answer to the Indictment.
Each day he kept his attorney informed
in regard to his whereabouts, so that
he might be notified to appear.
The sensational rumor printed in some
of the daily papers to the effect that
SpensIey was trying to evade the United
States Marshal and his deputies, The
! Democrat knows to be wholly without
foundation. He had legal business to
| attend to at Hazel Green on Tuesday
| for the Mineral Point Zine company III
| regard to the purchase of mine, and
/ he returned to his home in this city
/ that night
Deputy Marshal Appleby came here
/ the same night, but no arrest was made,
and Spensley appeared in Madison on
/ Wednesday. and was arraigned before
| federal judge A. L. Sanborn He en-
/ tered a,plea of not guilty, but reservep
the right TO withdraw the plea and in
| terpose a demurrer to any or all counts
/ contained in the indictment.
Judge Sanborn fixed Mr.. Spensley's 5
| bail at $50, 900, and adjourned the case
| TO the next term of the federal court,
which begins at Superior on January
! %. Bondsmen were in waiting, and
/ signed the bond. Their names are as
| follows, Thomas Tonkin of Mineral
1 Point. r. NJ Bashford, Jabe Alfrod.
james Nevin, and Louis NJ. Hobbins,
of Madison. Mr.. Spensley returned
home ON Wednesday night.

more good now than a great many re

pressed In parliament to its passage.
Winston Spencer Churchill. president OF
the board of trade. defended it warmly.
his chief argument being that every union
of the proposed kind paved the way for
union of all the railways of the kingdom.
Officers of the organized railway employees
supported the bill also, on the ground that
should the proposed consolidation not be
authorized by parliament the companies
would be to the disadvantage of the en-
ployes.
The theory Of British legislators con-
cerning railways has been that they
should be sufficiently competitive to keep
down rates and to provide good service
for the nation. But with consolidation
favored by statesmen and advocated by
the officers of the railways the question
arises whether government control or
naturalization of the roads is desirable
for the future.
of railways has been formed and a bill
has been introduced in parliament by w.
Thorne, one of the labor members. to con-
fer upon the local government board pow
ers to acquire the ownership of canals
and railways and to use or lease for
operation only such property Last Oc-
tober the Amalgamated Society of Rail-
way Servants passed a resolution by an
almost unanimous vote iavoring the ma
tionalization OF railways The combi-
nation Of the companies" said the resolu-
trade and a step which may lead to low
wages and long hours. In the interest of
all concerned it is essential that the rail-
ways, like the Iost Office. should be run
for the nations welfare and not for divi-
dends and profits

during the first year. The $1,000 you can
easily place out at per cent interest
and at the end OF the second year it will
have earned you $50. So during this sec
ond year you have to save only $3.50. In
other words, you have 81 q week more to
spend on the comforts of life during the
second year than the first. In this way
your load continues to get lighter and
lighter. You begin your third year with
5000 out at interest, and during this year
need save only 5000. which leaves you 81
week more to spend than during the
first year: and so 1t goes until at the end
of your fifth year you are saving only
$3.50 a year, or less than one-half of your
81 $50 salary. Each year you have more
you are saving just $12 80 a week, while
you have $3.50 to spend.
At the end of your tenth year you have
SO. 600. which is earning you $500 year,
and which may even bring you $500 or
500 year If you invest 1T well. If you
were only thirty years of age when you
began saving you are still too young to
Fretire on $50 month, but now you can
spend all that you earn, and at the end
of another ten years. II you do not gather
the honey which your $4,000 is making
for you. you will be worth a little over
$4,000. which, at per cent, will bring
you an income of $S5 a month for the
rest of your life.
A modification OF the above scheme can
be made to work to the profit of any
wage Garner. no matter what his weekly
earnings may be. granting, of course, that
they are sufficient to live upon comforta-
bly,. For instance. If the man who earns
Sl1 a week could save 81 q week for four
teen years he would have acquired a lit
tie fortune of $5,008 This task of saving

Getting OF Street Cars.
From the Worcester Gazette.


The accidents of getting of street cars
1.-The wrong way" probably cause the
largest proportion of mishaps and should
be the easiest remedied This is pecu-
liarly a woman's error. One collector of
tight corsets and inability to step and
bend the body lithely. and asserts that
fashionable women are always more help
less than those poorly dressed.
However this may be, the Womens diff
ficulty plainly arises from poor physical
training. Where any boy would know
instinctively that he must let go the han
die with his left hand, many grown
women thoughtlessly use their right. The
result is a fall backward, if the car has
not stopped.
To teach its million or more women how
to alight, the city Of Chicago has opened
a systematic campaign. The president OF
the city street railway. which pays 81
per cent of gross receipts to the city,
thought he could save money for the
company and the city by placing large
signs on the cars Accordingly he wrote
Don't get hurt when alighting; wait
till the car stops; always get OH facing
forward" In addition. he made two
large pictures. which were spread on the
sides of cars beside the big lettering. One
represents the wrong way Of dismount-
ing, the other the right way.
Besides this, the education has been
carried into gymnasiums. The physical
culture department of the public high
schools has had an apparatus constructed
resembling street car step and handle.
These platforms are dragged around the
gymnasiums by part of the girls. while
others. under tutelage. practice getting on
and OFF,
campaign of this kind need cost but
little. 1t requires but some public spirited
citizen or railway officer to set it going.
And where is the city that does not need
it?
