"Childrens' day" at the Baptist
church last Sunday evening brought out
large crowd and merited an ever larger
one, the exercises being exceptionally
good and showing very plainly the ei-
fects Of thorough and long continued
drilling CT the little folks in their re-
spective parts. There was some good
special music by the regular choir.
The Baptist church is the only one OBJ
serving ChiIdren's Day this year, so far
as we can learn.

Relief Corps Entertainment.

After the closing of the general
business of Tom Cox Post last Satur-
day. the members of the Relief Corps
filed into the hall. Acting Post Com
mander Theo. Calvin vacated chair In
favor of Mrs. Warren Hannum, presi-
dent of the corps. A program of
entertainment arranged by the COM
mittee of the Relief Corps was carried
out. Addresses by several of the
members of the Pest and Relief Corps
were part of the program. Mrs.
Roach. of Chicago, sister to Mrs.
John Jeidy, was present and favored
the assembly with very interesting
remarks. But the poem recited by
Mrs ChatfeId Sr. was received with
enthusiasm. 1t was published during
the Civil War. 1t stirred the patriotic
feeling of tn ose present.
Let me repeat part of it:
by the moons pale light,
To this gazing throng,
Let me tell one tale
Let me sing one song.
'TiS tale devoid of an aim or plan.
'Tis the simple song of one armed man.
Though it tells of myriad wounds and scars
Vet it points to time whit n the stripes
and stars
In Gods own chosen time shall take
The place of the rag with the rattle snake;
And it points to a time, when that flag
shall wave
Ger the land where breathes no covering
slave,
To the top of the skies will you all then
heave
One proud huzzah for the empty sleeve.

Miss Doris Schreiner's song in her
sweet voice, was accompanied on the

boundaries of Uncle Sam S Dominious.
The old army bean" was sung by
Alex. Ivey. His voice has lost none of
its fervor. Mrs. Mitchell handled
the keys of the piano and organ as

did before she accepted our old friend

used to be a sacrIlege. Professor

1t was this simple inclusion, Uncle

religious services, to end up with a

up the horse and brought the buggy

examine the buggy first and SEE
whether one of my chickens is not

pulled out fat pullet, and then in
a stern tone remarked, thought

PHIL ALLEN GETS ONLY
TEN YEARS IN PRISON
VIII be Taken to Fl. Leavenworth
Penitentiary This Week.
Pleaded Guilty to Four Counts and
Testimony Before Grand Jury at
Lacrosse duplicates Others.

Phil Allen the defaulting cashier
of the First National Bank at Mineral
Point, appeared before Judge Sanborn.
at Madison. last Friday and pleaded
guilty to four of the twenty six
counts aginst him in the Indictment,
and was sentenced to ten years IN the
federal prison at Fort Leavenworth.
The sentence is the maximum that
could be given on any one of the
counts. and was not made cumulative.
It is believed that the lightness of
the sentence can be attribu to the
fact that he agreed to furnish evil
dence before the grand jury which
would implicate other guilty parties
in the bank wrecking affair By
good behavior he can obtain about
three years offset and shorten his
tenn of actual Imprisonment to some
thing like seven years.
The specific counts to which Allen
pleaded guilty were:
Embezzlement of moneys of the
bank.
Abstraction of moneys OF the bank.
The issuance of false certificates of
deposit.
False entries on the books of the
bank.
TREMBLES BEFORE THE BAR
The Madison Journal thus describes
the scenes in the court room:
Trembling as with the palsy and
with the appearance of a man
thoroughly broken down, Allen stood
before the judge in the big, high CELL
ing courtroom on the top floor of the
federal building to hear the words
that condemned him to many long
years behind prison bars. The only
relative with him was his wife, who
exhibited admirable self-control
under the strain of the unusual cir
cumstances.
Have you anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
you ~ asked Judge Sanborn.
Nothing, was the banker only
answer
TO FACE GRAND JURY.
Allen was taken to Lacrosse this
afternoon by Deputy Marshal w. Fl.
Appleby, where he will go before the
grand jury. meeting in adjourned
session. for the ostensible purpose Of
telling ali ne knows Rumors that
other men of more or less prominence
will be implicated in this confession
are heard today Certain it is that
the revelations TO come will prove
sensational in the extreme If he
chooses to tell OF the many forgeries
and other crimes of which meager
information has come from time to
time from the receiver.
Although Aliens thefts by means
of forged papers and other illegal
methods were shown by the receiver,
John W. Schoheld, to have mounted
up close to 5000, 600. and may go
much higher, the law is not technical
ly concerned with forgeries, and the
counts to which he pleaded guilty
cover all the offenses nnder which he
was liable under the federal banking
laws The amount of suIh forgeries
has no bearing on the nature of the
offense, except possibly as mitigat-
ing or making more severe the
sentence. The counts to which he
pleaded guilty were numbered.

Uncle Billy Gibson was a we'll

early times. He was jovial good
natured man, and enjoyed to get a
joke on any one. He even did not
spare the Sky Pilots. In the ante

the country. Children would look
with awe upon the man who visited
the homes in black frock coat and
white necktie. When such person
appeared at the gate, the children s
voices would hush, their play cease,
they would run in the house and
whisper to the mother. Ma the

have collected and some of them are
very fine indeed. | shall try the
experiment Of sending some home in

useless, but I'm going to try it any
way. There are famous ones to be
found here, one sold in Paris not long
since for so, 600 francs, or $40, 600
gold, so you see they are not without
value. Thew are very difficult to get,
but it is interesting to go after them.
This is not at all an unhealthy place,
despite the fact that were the equator
a visible line we could see it.
The sun actually beats down from
IL a. m. till p. m, but the
early morning and evenings are de-
liciously cool. / do hope you will
not worry over not hearing from me
oftener, but you must remember in
case nothing is going on we have one
boat a month, but if trouble of any
kind arose boats from Jolo would
come Immediately.

business; you need not worry on &C
