Held to District Court.

Oakdale Sentinel Last Saturday
afternoon party of young men, five
in number, drove over from Elgin, ex-
pecting to spend the time until the
evening following in fishing along the
Elkhorn. They had liberal supply Of
liquid bait, which was in danger of be-
ing spoiled by the hot weather, and in
their search for the icemau wound up
at the Star barn. The boys had taken
on enough Of the obejoyful fluid to put
them in an extremely sociable mood,
and short time after their arrival
three of the party were arrested on
the charge of Selling and giving
away beer 1t appears that as soon as
1t was discovered that there was beer
at the barn a number of the extra dry
assembled and were caught in the act
Of drinking by ]. S. Stringfellow and
l.. V. Brainard, members of the town
board, who secured Dr. Minton, an
other of the city officials, to lodge a
complaint as before mentioned. The
latter took charge Of the refreshments
and had them taken to the office of
Police Judge Thornton, where the ac-
cused were arraigned. Jake Davis,
who claimed to be only driver for the
party and in no way interested in the
beer, was released, and John Derr and
Fred Wickstron were cited to appear
Monday morning at 9 o'clock, the
amount of their bond being fixed at
$1,000 Messrs. Stringfellow and
Brainard went to Neigh Sunday after
noon and employed ]. F. Boyd to pros
ecute the case for the board, and T.
M. Franse of West Point was en-
ployed by Messrs. Derr and Wickstron,
At the hearing Monday enough testi-
mony was introduced to convince the
judge that the young men should be
bound over to the district court, and
they were released after giving a $500
bond. Messrs. Derr and Wickstron
are residents of West Point, but have
been employed as masons on the new
buildings being erected at Elgin. The
confiscated beer about three cases,
was turned over to Marshal Roby, who
has it securely hidden. 1t is believed
that the arrest of these parties will
serve as warning to other who might
feel disposed to test the elasticity of
the law.

HOUSE FOR CHILDREN

Plans were recently filed with the
building department Of st. Louis for
an apartment house exclusively for
families with children. The doors OF
this house, which Is to cost 100000,
will be shut against bachelors, old
maids and childless couples. One
child will be badge of admittance,
but the family with dozen children
will be welcomed with open arms. II
Is the first apartment house OF its kind
In the United States, and 1t will rise
Between two large and fashionable
houses which forbid children.
s. u. Lederer, a real estate broker,
is the originator of the idea, and he
;Sound ready backing for the scheme.
.Hc has whole chain Of novelties.
With every girl born in the house he
will present receipted bill for one
months rent to the parents. Lederer
places twice as high value on boys,
rs every boy born will mean to the
parents receipted bill for two
.months' rent.
The building will be Of eight stories,

ments. Each apartment will have a

struct the children without charge to

structors In physical culture, and it is
proposed to establish a kindergarten.
al am convinced the apartment
house for children will fill a real
want" said Lederer. at will be the
only one Of It's kind in the country, but
4 expect to see many more like It.
Why, as soon as gave out my plans
half dozen milllonaires wanted to
back the venture single handed. They
saw the possibilities in 1t, and they
wondered 1t hadn't been tried before
EVERY applicant will have to trot
out the youngsters before I rent him
an apartment. Children will be the
requirement One child will do, but
the more the merrier. If man comes
along with a score Of children he will
be my prize tenant, and I'll put a
brass plate on his door.
''Its easy to figure 1t out from the
financial standpoint. With children In
every family there will be no COM
plaints on the score Of noise. Then
married couples with children are the
most stable tenants and are less likely
TO move. They are the best rent pay
ers, too, as all statistics show"
One Of the features of the house will
be general nursery in charge of a
nurse. Mothers going out shopping,

HE BROKE A SPRING.
And tho Owner Of the Wagon Was
Grateful For the Truth,

In a small southern Indiana town Is
liveryman who has ideas Of his own
about conducting his business.
Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer, known for his ability to get over
ground in a hurry, had one IF old
Henry's rigs with which he drove to a
neighboring town. Part Of the way
was over corduroy road. The drum
mer's business detained him longer
than he expected, and when he finally
got back In the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at lively pace. Final
ly, when he struck the corduroy road,
he felt something snap and knew that
he had broken spring on the buggy.
He saws visions Of having to make
the damage good to old Henry. When
he reached the barn he jumped out and
said:
Henry, broke spring. How
much do l owe you?"
"How did you break 1t, Gus? asked
the liveryman.
Driving like the dickens over a
rough road" the drummer answered
frankly.
"Then you don't owe me anything"
"Why, how's thatT'
