Jones VS. ROBERTS COUNTY

Anent the Jones case States
Attol aey Batterton says:
The appeal in question was
taken by me. upon petition of
seven tax payers of this county,
from the allowance of this bill
made by unanimous vote of the
county commissioners last Sep
tember. and covered salary for
the months Of May, June, July
and August 1909.
The evidence in this case en-
braced in the findings made by
Judge Marquis, of the Watertown
circuit, showed that Mrs. Gee
had a valid first grade certificate
which expired on October 25th,
1908, or a few days before the
election, and that the sole grou I'd
of the contest was that Mrs. Gee
was not eligible to be elected to
or hold the Office of county
superintendent on account of her
not having a first grade certifi-
cate at the time when she was
elected or at the time she would
have to qualify. Under the laws
Of this state it is impossible for a
teacher to secure a certificate of
any kind without the recommen-
dation of the county superinten-
dent. The examinations are
C n d t e d under tn e
supervision of the county sup
erintendent but the markings on
their examination papers are
made by the state superinten-
dent or under his direction, but
in addition to this it is necessary
in all cases, that the applicants
qualifications and attainments as
a teacher and her moral char
acter must be certified to by the
county superintendent.
1t was also shown by the evil
dence in this case that the ques-
ton of the validity of Jones,
claim for salary came up before
the commissioners officially last
year while | was at the hospital
in Rochester for treatment, and
MIR. 8ahcock who was my de-
putty and was the then acting
stare's attorney, advised them
that he had no legal right to the
salary. The evidence further
showed that at the meeting held
shortly after my return from Ro-
chester. that the Board asked for
my opinion upon the matter and
that | advised them in effect that
there had been a vacancy in the
Office ever since January, 1909;
that Jones was mere usurper
and an intruder i. the cffice with
out legal right of authority. and
that his claim for salary was il
legal. "

BARGAINED AND SOLD.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Argus
Leader frcm Huron says tina:
the insur2 ent gathering at Huron
on Thursday of last week was a
close corDdr0tion affair, and re-
suited ii Hcnards joining forces
with Governor Vessey for politi-
cal purposes. Richards has thus
thrown principles to the wind
and shown himself in his true
light, as an office-seeker and a
seeker after political power and
prestige; being willing to make
merchandise Of his faculties.
Up to two weeks ago, Richards
had been denouncing Governor
Vessey in unmeasured terms,
characterizing his administration
as we1k and eXtravagant, and pro-
claiming Vessey a traitor to the
principles Of reform. During
the day Richards was in consulta,
ton with Vessey and a ,ruce was
patched w. just what the terms
are is uncertain, but it is said
that Vessey has agreed to stand
pat and give Richards full swing
in maaing a platform for the
faction and in controlling the
patronage of The state for the
next biennial period and that if
Mr.. Richards so decides he is to
be a Ca didate for congress a
gainst Burke.
The meeting was held behind
locke1 doors and no one was ad-
mitt "a unless he wore the ma
chIne collar
The correspondent adds, "a
determined tlght is to be made
to defeat Burke and Man tin,
these latter gentlemen having
aroused the ire OF the insurgents
by refusing to sacrifice principles
for Office. The gathering at
Huron Thursday was composed
of officeholders and office seekers
and show how iDsincere the in
surgents have been in their cry
for harmony" 1t is now ap-
parent to every thinking re-
publican that there was only one
way to secure harmony in the
republican ranks and that
was by a dishonorable truce in
which all principles should be "a
bandoned and all the offices give
to The Insurgents

Lincoln Day in SissetOn

Lincoln's 10lSt anniversary was
not overlooked by the veterans
and ladies of the w. r. C. of this
city. Tie regular meeting of the
Corps WIS held at 3 p. M. Satur-
day, but the exercises did not
close as usual. The veterans of
the G. A. r. and a few OF her in
vited guests were given a beauti-
ful supper by the ladies after
which all remained to enjoy a
patriotic program. A leading
feature of this program was the
contest in recitirg, six little girls
Of the Busy Bee" club being
the contestants. The first prize
was awarded Miss Mildred Hicks,
the second Mss Gladys Lewis.
Both prizes were flags, the first
very handsome silk one. The
ceremony of presenting the col
ors " was very pretty and i'm
fessiVe. A recitation was rem
cred by Miss Maud kellogg and
and vocal solos by Mrs. Mildred
Cottingham and Miss Ethel Price.
The Busy Be es' sang a song.
and their skillful handiwork was
sh, wn in the form of a number
f very neatly made cushions,
which are tO be presented to the
Soldiers Home. This club of
little workers has proved itself
deserving of its name, and has
been conducted under the leader
ship of Mesdames Steele, Mann
and Pryor.
Interesting remarks were
made, including "reminiscences of
President Lincoln. by different
speakers, Comrades Garfield and
Conrad, Rev. ]. w. Christianson,
Mrs. Winnie r. Matthews (pat-
riOtic instructor of the Corps)
and others. Comrade Fisher also
entertained the company by sew
eral violin selections. Several
ladies' Of the Milbank w. r. C..
were present.
A Lincoln badge was presented
to each Of the guests.

Georgetown county certainly ap-
preciates her adopted sons from
williamsburg. A few months ago
Mr. J A Hemingway, a native of
Williamsburg, was appointed
county treasurer, and last week
Mr. H c Tallevast. another son
of this grand old county, was
chosen to fill the Office left Va
cant by the resignation of the
veteran county auditor, W H Dor
rill. Thus we see two Of the
most important Offices of our
neighbor county filled by young
men who moved over the line
froni Williamsburg. Georgetowa
county is to be congratulated on
having such material to choose
from.

MILLERS HAVE AN INNING
Witnesses Testify That Bleaching Pro-
cess Improves the Flour.

Kansas City. Mo. June, 22.-In sup
port of the contention that the process
OF bleaching flour does not injure the
product but ON the contrary improves
1t, several additional witnesses testi-
fed for the millers in the bieached
flour trial in the federal court here
today.
Attorneys for the millers stated to-
day that probably another week would
be required to introduce all their tes-
timony.
Alva Edgecomb, a mill manager of
Omaha, testified that some of the
patrons of his mill demanded bleached
-four.
He said impurities in flour could not
be concealed by the bleaching process
and that his own family had used
bleached flour for five years. He said
none of his family had been i'll as a
result.
The witness produced two loaves of
bread, one of which he said had been
made from bleached -four and the
other from unbleached. He was I'M
able to state which was which.

majesty, King George V. his majesty's

displayed in New York ir connection
with the melancholy occasion of the
death of his late majesty, King Ed

CITY MUST PAY $1,000.
Mrs. Whitworth Gets Judgment for
Falling on Sidewalk.

Judgment for $1,000 damages was
awarded to Mrs. Sarah E. Whitworth
of Dodge City against the city of To-
peka at the second trial of the suit
which was concluded Tuesday after
noon in the district court. The first
trial had been decided unfavorably to
her.
Mrs whitworth tripped upon a pro-
lection in the sidewalk at the alley on
the south side of East Fifth street be-
tween Kansas avenue and Quincy on
the night of December 8, 1908. She
alleged the projection in the walk,
which is very cid, should have pre-
viously been removed by the city, it
being blamable for neglect.

of the state university to be at the
service of the state along all lines In
