he had maltreated her and left her. and
, the State rested.
At this point the jury came in. They
| returned verdict of guilty.
Resuming the Anderson case, Henry
Anderson was placed on the stand in
his own defence. He represented him
self as model husband taking care
. OF the babies while she was out nights
and watching the children while she
+; ran the sewing machine or did ironing

and Mead, had this girl there drunk
and in nude condition.
b Officers Aaron Smith, George
Hamlyn, W. s, Betchner, Fred Barton
testified as to the conditions they found
at the house when they went at the
call of neighbor who heard the
noise at Jaggers' house and with this
evidence the State rested
The defence was denial of the
charge of lewdness-t that no acts of
lewdness had taken place. but that
there was beer party there.
| George Jaggers was the first witness
called; he said they were all badly in
toxicated and could not swear
positively what he actually did that
night
Oscar Mead and William Lutts en-
deavored to substantiate Jaggers'
story, but all admitted they were
drunk.
Prosecutor Fithian moved the case
against William Werkeheiser H Bryon
Lore appearing for the defendant.

larceny of lot of table oil cloths from

the building trades of Lincoln, Neb..
have certainly shown themselves pub
lie spirited in very substantial
manner. A movement was on foot
in that city to have band concerts in
the parks for the entertainment of the
public, but there was no band stand
to accommodate the band To over
come this the building trades contrib
uted not less than $500 worth of work
to the public band concert movement
as it is called. The material was fur
nished, and they donated their time
and built the band stand and pre-
sented it to the park board without
one cent of cost to the people. The
union musicians, not to be outdone
by the building trades, donated $3.50
in cash towards the expenses of the
concerts themselves

The straw hat workers have entered
into the industrial field, and, like all
progressive unions, have adopted a
union label to designate their product.
Owing to 1909 being the first year
of thi sinnovation, the distribution has
been small, but an aggressive cam
paign is being made among the retail
dealers which viii undoubtedly place
label straw hats next season within
reach OF every one who desires such

The label is gummed, stamped and
