Labor Day in Omaha will be such
a big affair that it will be necessary

at Cortland Beach. and there will be
speakers of national prominence.
Tuesday evening there viii be an
other social gathering at the Beach.
and Miss Mary E. Mcdowell of Chi
cago will be one OF the speakers.

social time will be enjoyed. and the
speakers will be Judge Lee Estelle

The committee in charge of Oma

to make the three-day affair a huge
success. and the indications are now
that it will be one Of the biggest and
best ever pulled off in this section OF

THE BUREAU OF LABOR.
National Establishment That Is Joke
On lsborers.

On Lsborers.
One of our subscribers who IS an
old government employee, seems much
disturbed because OF the rumor that
the labor bureau is threatened with
extinction.
Our good friend is fearful that the
alleged influence of the Civic Fedora

and turn it into bureau for the
study OF child lie"
With ali due respect for the feelings
and sentiments of our good friend. We

but on ell important matters its re-
ports have been seemingly framed up
to meet the desires of the party in

that the bureau has never yet report

To do so would probably cause trouble

Judge Rosa's Salary at Stake.

The question of whether a county of
fetal can continue to draw his salary
when he is out of the state and the
duties of his office performed by others
is likely to be tested in the courts.
AS a taxpayer and citizen, L. E. Get
tie of Edgerton, chairman of the county
board, has served notice on the county
treasurer protesting against and OBJ
jecting to the payment of any orders
for the salary of Hon. c.. d. Rosa,
Judge of the Beloit municipal court, for
the months of November and Deem
Der. 1908, and likewise all orders issued
or signed by A. d. Roadhouse, acting
municipal Judge. In taking this step
Attorney Gettle is not animated by any
personal feeling, but he and his ASSOC
GATES of the board merely wish to have
the exact legal status Of certain trans
actions in the Beloit municipal court
determined once and for all. Judge
Rosa returned last week from seven
weeks trip to Washington and Cali
fornia in the interests of the Wisconsin
Home Missionary society. Just before
his departure he appointed A. d. Road
house, who is his clerk and also JUS
tice of the peace, to act as judge In his
absence. Can Acting Judge Roadhouse
draw both his salary as clerk and Mr..
Rosa's salary as judge? is one question
which has arisen. Does the SIS day
deduction from the judges salary en-
velope during absence, as provided by
law, mean every calendar day or just
the. ones when there is business in the.
court? is another. The shrewd MEM,
bers of the board saw that it would be
an advantage to have the Judge bring.
suit, rather than to pay out the money
and then be, themselves, compelled to
resort to the courts to find out just
where they are at.

Beet Contracts for 1909.

Frank Hartzhein, who has acted as
local representative in Edgerton for the
GAINESVILLE Sugar Co. the past few
years, is again in the field prepared to
make contracts for the coming season.
He informs us that prices are slightly
increased over last year
A fiat rate contract and a test con-
tract have been presented to the grow
ers for the coming season. The latter
stipulates price of $3.50 per ton for
beets averaging IL per cent. of sugar,
and at the rate ofs335c per ton for each
additional / per cent. of sugar contain
ed in the beets. This contract means a
raise in price over the test contract
used in the 1908 season for all beets
testing over IL per cent. For instance,
for IA per cent. beets it. means raise
in price of 168 cents per ton; for is per
cent. beets it means raise of 333 cents
per ton; for Is per cent. beets raise
of so cents per ton; for 20 per cent.
beets raise in the price of 665 cents
per ton, etc.
The contract provides, as heretofore,
that all beets shall be tested by chem
ist appointed by the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, which is state in
Stitution.

Obituary.
MRS. G. w. HARGRAVES.

Mrs. u. w. HARGRAVES.
News reached friends here last Thurs
day of the sudden death of Mrs. G. w.
Hargraves, who died in Brookfield, N.
Y, Dec. 81, 1908. The body was brought
here for burial and funeral services
were held at the home and Fassett
cemetery, conducted by Rev. Leonard
A. Parr of Geneseo, H., formerly pas
tor of the local Congregational church.
Mrs. Hargravss had for the past few
years been an intense sufferer from a
sickness which seemed to battle the
skill of the physicians. She went east
in November to see if a change would
help her. No Improvement, however,
took place and week or so ago she
was taken. to a specialist in Utica, N.
Y, who examined her and pronounced
her case hopeless. He said that she
had hardening of the arteries, checking
the supply of blood to the brain and
slowly but surely starving it.
Her death has caused deep sorrow
throughout the community where she
was known as forceful, valuable
woman.
Mrs. HargraveS was a woman OF de-
cided strength and breadth, well-read,
cultured, of broad education and ever
interested in developing her life more
fully and completely. She was also a
woman to whom the home and family
meant much. All that she absorbed of
knowledge and culture she made the
savant of her life to brighten her home,
to contribute to the usefulness and hap
piness of her own family. But it is as
a religious woman that she will be es-
pecially remembered. She had an in
tensely religious nature; was one to
whom God was very near and real. IN
deed He-was part of her every thought
and interest. Those who knew her,
knew her as woman of genuine and
deep Christian experience and one to
whom the church meant very much.
Her presence at all services, her sup
port of the prayer meetings, her I'M
tagging interest in all the church work
made her one of it's strong and reliable
supporters.
And after the ILL health which over
toolpe her, of necessity diminishing her
activity in these things, she never lost
greatly during her long season of sick
ness was her constant desire for the
help and comfort Of God. Struggling
thro' the night of doubt and weakness,
she held onto the things of God which
had meant so much in the past. And
now the night has fled and the day has
dawned!
Mary Camenga Hargrayes was born
Feb. 9, 1850, in Brookfeld, N. Y. She
was married to G. w. Hargraves on
Dec. IL, 1877, in Brookfeld. In 1884
she joined the Baptist church of Edger-
ton and in 1901 united with the Congre-
gational church of this city. She died
in Brookfeld Dec. 81, 1908. She leaves
a husband, two daughters, Mrs. R. E.
Hopkins of Steuben and Norma, a
teacher at Milton Junction, three sis
tiers and one brother, the latter of
which live in Brookfeld, N. Y.
