A MADISON writer in telling of the
appearance of the various witnesses be-
fore the investigating committee of
legislature, said of Hon. Neal Brown of
this city:
'Neal Brown of Wausau took it easy
while being examined. AS usual he
drew upon his unlimited vocabulary and
used words that stumped the stenogra-
pher. His eruditeness showed up con-
tinually; his easy generous flow of Ian
guage with vein of subtle humor kept
the committee in good humor. Mr.:
Brown reminded one of Ebert Hubbard
by his ease of manner and his complete
control of the situation. He seemed to
see the humor of life and even TO look
down upon his fellow man at the table.
Much of the time he tilted his chair on
its back legs and took his ease. When
the Committee excused him he circulated
among the democratic members with a
display of pleasure"

he Voters of Marathon County.

To The Voters of Marathon County.
GENTLEMEN With the hearty and
unsolicited endorsement of nearly every
member of the bar of Marathon county,
who are best able to Judge of the man
ner in which / have discharged my
duties in the past and with the full
approval and solicitation of my neigh
bors and friends irrespective of political
utilization, | hereby respectfully an
nounce myself as a candidate for re-
election to the Office of county Judge.
As for my platform | can only say,
that | promise faithful painstaking
and impartial discharge of all my official
duties and as 2 pledge for the proper
and efficient discharge thereof, | re-
fer the voters Of the county to my past
record as county Judge.

possible time and attention to the care
of the estate of deceased persons and
their widows and children and will con-
tinue to do so if reelected.
The business of this Office and its

than kept pace with the general growth
of the county.
During my first years service as
county Judge the total value of estates

estates submitted for probate, as per IN
ventories. reaches the astonishing sum
of 1858, $50 sc.
Having at all times, given to the re-
quirements of the Office my closest at
tention and an honest, conscientious
discharge of its important and respon-
sible duties, respectfully solicit public
approval and support with the pledge
that if reelected | shall perform my
duties as in the past.

Neal Brown at Madison.


Neal Brown was called to Madison
last week to testify before the investl-
eating committee of the legislature.
Charges had been made against Steph-
ensoD for the illegal use of money, and
the committee thought best to call all
of the senatorial candidates before it,
and the week was taken up in their ex-
animation. Neal Br6wn was called
second, following Senator Stephenson.
Mr.. Browns primary campaign ex-
pense, he said, was 81, 075 81. He had
no campaign manager, he said, but a
clerk in the Office attended largely to
the campaign correspondence. He
went over the expense items in detail.
The account showed 1926 had been ex-
pended by Peer q. Strcmme, and S25
by NJ j Regan il Milwaukee in circu-
lating campaign literature. He paid
$50 to o. C. Hochtritt for one months
salary as clerk during the campaign.
Mr.. Brown said he had no organization
by counties; that most of the work out
side his own was done by personal
friends. When Mr.. Marsh asked Mr..
Brown how much it cost to organize
Marathon county, ''for instance" he
said:
swell, you can spend lots OF money
in Marathon county. There are people
who will take it. One can conduct an
opulent or a poverty campaign"
Some of the questions appealed to
Mr.. Browns sense of humor and he
said that he had hard time running
because some people attributed wealth
to him, 'thus putting me into the Grim
inal classes where don't belong"
He said: mo Pm not a politician;
this is my first experience under the
primary law-and hope it's my last"
Under question from Senator Hus-
ting, Mr.. Brown said man might have
friends even though rich although he
ought not to have"
Asked if he thought it proper for a
candidate to spend 100000 in a cam
paign, Mr.. Brown said he hardly liked
to testify as an expert on ethics.
It's been my observation that can
didate for United States senator might
spend all he could afford, and more
too"
Mr. Bray asked, referring to Stephen
sons dealings with Assemblyman
Thomas Reynolds, if he thought it prop
er for senatorial candidate to hire
an assembly candidate to collect names
or nomination papers.
Hang it, don't know. Iwish you'd
let me tell what | consider the right
conduct of candidate" he said with a
whimsical smile.

Albanian Customs

Some strange customs exist in AL.
bania. To compliment an unmarried
woman, for instance, is provocation
for death. A bloody enemy is under
amnesty while in the company of a
woman. A woman may shoot a fiance
who breaks his betrothal or call upon
the young mans father to kill him. If
a man commits murder, and, flying for
his life, enters the house OF another,
friend or foe, he is safe. This Is the
case, even if he takes refuge in the
house of a brother of the man he has
slain. He may not remain there for
ever; but for three days he can live
on the best that the house provides.
When that time is up, he is shown on
his way. Twenty-four hours is given
him to make his escape; after that
the amnesty is over and the blood
feud begins.-The Balkan Trail.

or persons. MIR. and Mrs. Mueller and

Protectinn New Cement

The problem of keeping people and
animals off a newly laid cement side
walk, usually a difficult task, is some
times solved in the manner here
show. A few hours after this side
walk was built soft dirt was thrown
over it and q little ridge built along
each side. The dirt was then well
saturated with water. Such tres tment
was found to be effectual in keeping
intruders off, and also furnished moist
ure for advantageous setting of the
cement.

LISTEN!

The day of patriotic re-
joicing is drawing near
when every loyal citizen
should perform his part
therein. There are other
patriotic duties that bring
joy to the hearts of people
and dispense happiness to
others, and one of these
is by paying up a subscrip-
tion to your paper. You
won't then have to think
of the fact that you are
delinquent when you open
the paper to read. You
will just be happy over
the fact that it is paid for.
Try it at once. Others
nave, ana can testify
thereto. Those connect
ed with a printing office
can testify thereto. Those
connected with a printing
office can come as near
living on water, air and
untitled promises 3-coarse
meal as anybody, but q
little more of the substan.
tial is very desirable.
Look at your bill and
see how much good you
can do, and don't delay.

Public IKindersartsn.

The Board of Educat ion has opened
q public kindergarten in the room used
for such purposes in the Plummer
Manual training building commencing
June twenty first and continuing for
eight weeks. This move is in accord
ance with the philanthropic wishes Of
Mrs. Plummer when she SO literally
donated the money to erect this
building. This move is for the bene-
fit of children between the ages Of
three and six years of age and also
for children over the age of six
who have been deprived of the bene-
fit attending the primary schools.
This summer work will be under the
immediate charge of iiiss Anne Robin
son Of Denver but formerly Of Baltimore,
Maryland. In her work she will be
assisted by two of the young ladies
Of this city but whose names are not
yet made public. The opening of a
summer school for the children Of
this age and condition is most COM
mendable move on the part of the
Board as well as proper recognition of
khe magnanimous donation of the
rQney whereby we have beautiful
' sAnual Training building.

Meets Sudden Death.

The news of the sudden death of
Frank Allan Lucy, at Goldfield Ne
vada, on the seventh inst. was re-
ceived here with appalling suddenness
and most sincere sympathy. He had
just been appointed superintendent of
the Florence-Goldheld Mining company.
The fatal accident that befell him was
caused either by the breaking of a
board while he was crossing it or he
made q mistep. In either event he
was plunged down the Reilly shaft to
the bottom distance Of nearly two
hundred feet. He was mangled in
such Q manner As to be unrecogniz-
able. Mr.. Lucy was graduate of the
School of Mines of the class of 1901.
His earlier education was received
in the schools of Denver. He came to
Idaho Springs and worked in the Office
of Stevens, Barbour and company with
whom he remained about two and one
half years, going to Nevada after leav-
ing here. He leaves widow and a
boy about fifteen months old. Mr..
Lucy was young man who attended
strictly to his business; was quiet and
inobtrusive and one who would have
made his mark in life had he not thus
been suddenly taken away.

Postal Inspector H. P. Frederick ar
rived in the city Wednesday and on
Thursday he and Postmaster John
Trathen went over the line of the pro-
posed rural delivery route to ascertain
its claims and needs for establishing
such rural route. Beginning at the
west part Of the city or near the Stan
10y mine it runs up Trail run through
Freeland, Lamartine, down the Ute
creek to Chicago creek and thence to
the south bound dary line of

through it will be = great con-
venience to the settlers and resi-
dents along its course as at the present
time they get their mail at this office
or it is carried up by the merchants' de-
livery teams. Even if the population
is only sufficient for a tri-weskly SER
vice it will be decided accommodation
over the present arrangements.
