We are glad to hear the meadow
larks sing again.
Ed Shredder was in Great Bend
last Monday on business.
May Winget, Ida Wilcut came up
from Great Bend Friday. They
were accompanied by Edith Sellers,
a class mate. Friday afternoon they
visited the schools in this city. They
returned to Great Bend on the train
Monday.
Last Monday the o. S. marsh,
from the western district of Kansas
served papers on T. q. Balm, threw
him into bankruptcy and cited him
to appear before Judge Pollock on
the 10th of March. Only three
houses began these proceedings. Mr..
Balm had been trying to pay with
what he had and We think these
proceedings very cruel as it will not
profit the instigatOrs very much.
An exciting stunt was pulled of in
our city one day last week. Some
travelling men came in and began to
look up some way Of getting out Of
our city, The livery had no auto 50
they saw L. v. Parker and contract.
ed with him to 90 to Great Bend.
AT this juncture F. C. Seeber came
into town he saw the travelling
statesmen and under bid the livery
business here by dollar and a half.
He bundled the men in the auto and
started for Great Bend rejecting ,
backward smile of victory as the
little red auto became a streak Of
dust in the distance.
Uncle Walt Mason, the poet phil.
OSOpher gives US many good things,
as follows; We are making laws with
lots OF noise, to keep from our prec-
lous boys. The curfew bell booms
out at eight and warns the lads to
pull their freight for home and bed
and balmy sleep, while vary cons
their vlrgils keep. The cheap toy
pistols down and out; We won't have
things like that about; and bows
who'd hear the pistol, toot must sit
and watch their parents shoot.

children Of this happy land can buy

sometimes makes the darling sore.
Each year new laws and statute,
brings, to shield them from corrupt. .

should over look the screaming blood.

who have slain a cord of men, and

on their trail; OF long haired seoul,

CLAIM WOMAN LOSTRES|DENCE
District Attorney of Racine Cites De-
cisions of Supreme Court to Show Ke-
nosha County Should Pay for Keep
of Woman

The trustees of the Racine county
insane asylum have refused to receive
Mrs. John Schwartz, of the town of
Somers as patient at the asylum until
commitment is issued for her in
either the courts of Racine or Kenosha
county and the trustees Of the asylum
hold that the fact chat she escaped
from the asylum more than two years
ago does not make it binding on the
trustees to receive her as patient un-
til she is re-committed.
This decision is made known in a
letter sent by Judge F'lett of Racine,
one Of the trustees of the asylum this
morning. In deciding on the case Judge
Flett holds that after the escape of
Mrs. Schwartz from the asylum she was
received into the home of her husband
and that no effort was made to force
her to return to the asylum. While
he admits that no formal parole was
issued for the woman he insists that
the fact that she remained unmolested
at the home of her husband for a term
of two years was sufficient to show that
she had been discharged from the hos
pital. Under his letter the trustee
seems to hold that she could have been
returned to the asylum as a charge on
Racine county at any time within two
years but that this course is now barr
ed. No formal petition has been filed
here for the return of the woman to
Yhe asylum but Judge Slosson has in
timated that he would not grant such
petition.
In support of the position of the Ra-
cine asylum trustees, the district at
torney of Racine county has given an
opinion in which he declares that Mrs.
Schwartz should be committed by this
county. He makes this ruling on a
case in Columbia county where an in
sane persons estate was administered
Notwithstanding the fact that she had
lived in another county at the time she
was sent to the asylum.
It is claimed that the supreme court
Phas made several rulings on the resi-
dence rights of insane persons. 1t is
certain that the case will come into the
courts in the form of a petition for
the commitment of Mrs. Schwartz with
in the next few days.

The war over the construction Of the
new city hall is waxing more bitter
every day and before the matter is end
ed the people of the city who, after all,
are the interested parties to the con-
troyersy, inasmuch as they are paying
the bills, will have Greece to form an
opinion as to the rights and wrongs of
the contesting parties from the evidence
presented in court in the various law
suits which will be the outcome of the
squabble, At present most of the PEG
pie Of the city wish to believe that all
of the men directly interested in this
fight are acting in good faith and from
the best of motives and they will re-
serve judgment on the case until they
nave a chance to examine the evil
dence. The men charged with cheat
ing the city in the materials used in
the building of the city hall certainly
cannot afford to rest quietly under the
charges preferred against them in sworn
atltdavits presented to the council and
the verdict of public sentiment will
be against them unless they use every
means in their power to force the men
making them to prove their statements
or acknowledge their error. There has
been mr@h talk going the rounds of a
similar import as the subject matter
OF these sworn aftdavits but it would
have been possible for the men in
charge of the construction to regard
this kind of knocking" simply as a
manifestation of jealousy on the part
OF disappointed rival bidders for the
JOB but when the charges take the form
they have the men accused must fight
unless they are prepared to acknow-
ledge that the men making them are
IN the right. Altogether it is a verv
p 0tty row as it stands with every
prospect of its getting worse instead
OF better before it is settled and the
outcome of the matter will be watched
with interest by every taxpayer of
the city If the men making these
charges are aetpated by wrong motives
1t is to be hoped that they will get
their Just deserts in the courts; If they
are right in their contention, thew are
entitled to the thanks of all of the
people Of the city.

Grand Lodge Wisconsin 40.
u. ". to Receive Assistance
From Supreme Lodge
HIGH COURT GIVES DECISION

BY a decision handed down Thurs
day by Judge Sanborn in the United
States circuit court at Madison, Wis,
it is probable that the grand lodge of
Wisconsin A. 0. U. W., will pay the
death claims against it dollar for dol
lar. These amount to nearly 100000.
Judge Sanborn ruled that the grand
lodge of Nebraska must pay into the
treasury of the supreme lodge $780,
600, due on it's guarantee fund. 1t is
probable that other grand lodges,
which have refused to pay the Eam-
cunts due the supreme lodge on their
guaranty fund, pending a court decis-
ion, will abide by the decision render
ed. The supreme lodge then will make
up the deficiency Of the Wisconsin
grand lodge treasury, and thus make
that lodge solvent.
The action was the outcome of a
suit brought by the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, as receiver for the grand lodge,
the headquarters of which are at Mead
vile, Pa.
On October 6, 1909, the grand lodge
of this state became insolvent and the
Fidelity Trust Company was made re-
ceiver. There was an indebtedness in
death claims of $4,000, but 20 per
cent of which amount was in the treas
ury.
The receiver maintained that the
supreme lodge was liable for the de-
ficiency, and obtained an examination
of the officers of the supreme lodge
early in 1910. The supreme lodge con-
tended that its fund was exhausted
and that, lnasmuch as the grand lodges
of Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota
had refused to pay into the supreme
lodge treasury their guarantee funds,
there was no way by which the supreme
lodge could reimburse the grand lodge
of Wisconsin.
The receiver asked that the supreme
lodge bring suit against the deficient
grand lodges and that if this be re-
fused the receiver be allowed to bring
suit in the name Of the supreme lodge.
It was decided after several confer
ences for both to combine in suit
against the grand lodge of Nebraska.
Action was brought in the United
States court at Grand Island, Neb.
The case then was heard before Judge
sanborn at Madison, and also before
United States District Judge Munger,
at the same place.

The managers of the campaign for
the holiday sales Of the Red Cross
seals for the benefit of the Wisconsin
Anti-tuberculosis association hope to
break the splendid record, made last
year and from the interest which is
being shown in the work of the asso-
citation all over the state it seems like
ly that they will do so. The associa-
tion is going to need money and plenty
of it to carry out its present plans but
if this sale of holiday seals is as sue
cessful as it promises to be, a goodly
fund will be on hand in the treasury
of the association when the sale closes
on january !, The work of fighting
the white plague has been carried for
ward steadily and effectively in the
face of many discouragements by de-
voted men and women in every city,
village and town in the state who have
given their time and energy to the
cause without hope or expectation of
any reward other than that which
comes from the consciousness Of a duty
well performed, but the light is begin
ming to show ahead The general in
terest which is being taken in all of
the plans of the association is most
hopeful sign for when once the inter
est Of a majority of the people is en-
listed the battle is half won. 1t is too
early yet for any results of the efforts
so far made to show in the vital sta
tisties and, indeed, the fighting has
hardly begun but we believe that the
campaign will be conducted more sue
cessfully and rapidly from now on, the
better progress made being due to the
hearty assistance and intelligent CO.
operation of thousands Of the people of
the state who have been brought to a
realizing sense of the need for drastic
action by the educational work done
in the very beginning by the associa-
ton.

FORM STATE UNION
Manufacturers of Wisconsin Plan to
Form Union of all State Industries

Form Union of all State Industries
A movement has been launched FOR
the organization of state wide asso-
citation of manufacturers similar,
though broader in scope, to the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
of Milwaukee.
After discussion of the tentative bill
was ended A. L. Osborn of Oshkosh
said that he hoped that there would
be a move MADE looking toward state
wide organization of manufacturers
which would employ some big, broad
man to appear as their representative
at Madison before the legislature
President Falk of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association said that
association would gladly welcome a
move of that kind. 1t had been the
hope of the members, he said, that
some time it would broaden out into a
state organization.
After some discussion in which all
favored the plan, Mr.. Osborn put his
proposition In concrete form by moving
that the president of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association at his
convenience appoint committee of
twelve, to be composed Of representa-
tives of the Milwaukee association, of
such organizations as were represented
at the hearing and others throughout
the state, which committee would get
together and draw up plan for a
state organization. The motion was
seconded by Neal Brown and passed
unanimously.
