Many Leave City.
While the tetanus bug is holding
high revel in the city, thousands of
New Workers will be fighting the
i"skeeters" of New Jersey and enjoy
ing the more or less balmy breezes
| provided at the upstate and New
/ England resorts At the principal
railway stations and steamship Off
ces il is stated that the outward rush
will have broken all records by to-
night. All of the piers and railway
stations are damned with the stam-
pede of eager New Workers bound
/ for a holiday and hundreds of special
trains and excursion boats have been
provided to handle the crowds.
Park Place is perhaps the most
popular street in the city today, as it
| is in that thoroughfare that all the
| larger dealers in fireworks and eX-
lplosives have their shops The police
! in that section have their hands full
to keep a semblance of a passag eway
on the sidewalk, so great is the de-
mand for the commodities that will
bring sudden death to so many dur
ing the next two days. According to
an estimate of one of the leading
dealers, no less than $4,000, 900
will have been expended for fire
works by the close of business on
Monday.
Unemployment Problems.
What to do with the man out of
work is the subject of an investiga-
ton undertaken by the Wainwright

committee on the scope of the labors
of the body. The commission was APP
pointed jointly by Governor Hughes,
Lieutenant-GoVernor White and
Speaker Wadsworth of the assembly,
The commissioners will report to the
state legislature on the causes of I'M
emDloymen. in New York and other
industrial Centers, and also on the
dearth of labor in the agricultural
districts of The Empire state.

MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY DECEMBER 1909
NO 20 PER CENT DIVIDEND.
Desire and Application of Bank Receiver
Schofield Denied by Comptroller
of Currency
PLAUSIBLE REASONS GIVEN
Present Outlook for Depositors More
Cheering However Than for
Some Time.

National Bank Receiver Schofeld
who has been acting as receiver of the
First National Bank of Mineral Point,
having completed the preliminary work,
and placed the receivership in good run
ming order, retired at the close of bust.
ness December LIST, and turned over
the receivership to Mr.. c. l.. Williams,
as permanent receiver Mr.. Williams
is an experienced man, and familiar
with receivership work.
Becoming familiar with the condi-
tions here, and appreciating the great
advantage it would be to the people of
this community in general if dividends
could be paid promptly, Receiver Seho-
field on Tuesday asked the Comptroller
of Currency to order the payment of a
dividend of 20 per cent. before Christ
mas. Eager and interested persons
land that means many mistook the re-
quest for a certainty, the result being
that the entire populace enormously
regarded it as a declared fact. But
the following day "wednesday the
public spirit was more or less chilled
upon word coming from the Comptroller
at Washington that he could not com
ply with the request because of these
seeming plausible reasons:
ION account of the unusual and eX-
tensive frauds perpetrated by Allen, it
is evident that the amount Of just
claims which may be unproven cannot
be ascertained with certainty.
''That under the law, creditors have
three months after publication of notice
within which to present their claims,
and they should suffer no loss by rea-
son of delay if claims are proven within
the statutory time.
Much as the Comptroller desires to
relieve the situation, he does not deem
it prudent to declare a dividend before
the expiration of three months.
The tangled condition of the bank
books having covered so many years,
made the work tedious and trying for
the receiver, but through it all he dis
played apt fitness and was ever prompt
and courteous. Mr. Schoheld departs
for his eastern home in anticipation Of
well-earned rest, and there follows
him the respect Of one and all of the
troubled multitude with whom he came
in contact.
His final remark to a Tribune repre-
sentative was TO the effect that the
cloud lowering over the unfortunate
creditors of the bank had brighter
lining.

The fine new Catholic church at Hol-
landaIe was dedicated on Thanksgiving
day with elaborate ceremonies. The
Rev. j. Barry has been pastor Of this
congregation for about three years.
Soon after he came the church building
was struck by lightning and burned to
the ground. Mr.. Barry at once set to
work gathering the money with which
to erect a new building to take its
place. Built Of Hollandale brick, it is
one Of the finest structures in Iowa
county. 1t is forty-two feet wide and
one hundred feet long with a basement
and extra high ceiling in the audience
room.

BA|L|FF SUCH 4
MIGHTY NAN

HE'S GOING TO CLOSE KEN
MANS COURT 70 THE PRESS
FOR SHOWING UP HIS shy
LOCK PRACTICE ON WIT
NEssEs.
Rolla c. Hartford, bailiff in Judge
Remnants court, is very indignant
because The Press mentioned the
fact that he had charged Witness
Smith in the Claim case discount
of 25 per cent for furnishing the
cash on Smiths order for witness
fees and was later compelled to
disgorge and return the man his
order, after Smith had made COM
plant to the county commissioners.
Harbord says that he will see
that The Press gets no more news
in Judge Kennan's court while he
is there, and as he has already
been on the job eight years this
may mean a long wait for The
Press, if it must depend on Bailiff
Harbord for it's information.
In his outburst of indignation,
Harbord admits that he has been
trafficking in county orders for
years and diseounting them for
every cent the unfortunate who
was SO hard up as to appeal to
Harbord could stand. He says he
will continue to discount witness
fees, warrants or other obligations
against the county, and will cut
them 5, 10, Is or 20 per cent ii he
can get it.
To discount county warrant by
an elective officer or his deputy is
punishable by a fine of $1,000, but
Hartford happens to be neither. and
hence is not amenable to the law.
1t does not look good, however, for
an officer of the court, charged
with upholding the law, to openly
and brazenly violate statute that
his fellow employees are legally
bound to respect.
Harbord is considered favorite
of Judge KEENAN,, by whom he was
appointed and is retained in Office.
The county commissioners, how
ever, foot the bills when 1t comes
to paying the salaries of court en-
ployes, and it may be that he will
be made to view the matter Of
Shylock discounts in a different
light before the incident u closed.

heart full of bitterness as he re-
membered how few of these there
were left before all those millions
shall fall into the clutches of
charity.
The clerk once more shrugged
his shoulders.
II Know OF no better way" he
remarked. ...-..--.-,
Arendsen could cheerfully have
strangled him at that moment, but
there we're too many witnesses on
the spot and he had to adopt a
more peaceful policy.
"You may give me a room, If
you have one available" he said
abruptly, conscious that he had
been outwitted at all points by the
astute Partisan, "and if this-this
person should turn up, you'll find
means to detain him until you can
get word to me-"
"Glady, Monsieur. That will not
be difficult"
Don't tell him I'm here, remem-
Der. Say that there is some word
for him, and send for me in
stantly."
"Monsieur's, orders will be OBJ
served. Number fifty-six. Jean
Marie! Conduct Monsieur to mum
Der f1fty-six. Felix! Monsieur's
baggage to the ascenseur."
When Arendsen got to his room
he was almost on the point of ex-
plosion. He had never doubted
that he would find Seager anxious
ly waiting him, but, instead, he
found him lacking all object on
which to expend his concentrated
rage and resentment. 1t would be
doubly hard now to sit there vast
ing precious time and its irredeem-
able opportunities.
But there was no other course
to be thought of. It would be idle
to seek that prodigal throughout
the city. He must stick to his pO-
sition with all the patience he
might, and trust that the wander
er would return before it should
be too late.
'I'll see this thing through to
the bitter end" said Arendsen,
savagely, and, having donned the
new suit he had bought before
leaving New York, and had his
hair and beard trimmed to a less
piratical aspect. established him
self in an inconspicuous corner of
the vestibule with a cigar and a
bundle of comic papers, outward
ly at his ease but inwardly smould-
ering like a volcano.

Realizing that school books
gather germs of disease and are
apt to spread dangerous epidem-

authorities have secured machines
which dis;nfect the books at a
high rate of speed.
The books are fed into one end
of the machine, drawn automatic
