Christian Science because II healed
them Of diseases and suffering after
medical treatment had failed to help
them. This is true Of the large
congregations in every city OF the
land and scarcely a village is with
out its living witness to the healing
efficacy OF Christian Science. There
are many cases of malignant disease
healed by Christian Science after
being pronounced fatal by reputable
physicians.
In the large cities Christian Sci.
ence has gained the respect of the
community and opposition has ceas
ed to be bitter. for there are many
known cases OF the healing Of severe
cases OF malignant disease by Chris
tian Science. In these cities the
health office. after quarantining a
case OF conta gion, leaves the case
under Christian Science treatment
with the result that, with but few
exceptions. when the patient relies
entirely upon Christian Science the
case is healed.

The attempt to fasten the response
bility for the deficit in the postal de-
partment on the magazines has stir
red up row that promises to have a
very beneficial effect in that it will
result in a thorough overhauling of
the business methods of the depart
ment and many changes which cannot
help but make for the improvement of
the service. While we have no hope
that the present disturbance will re-
suit in "taking the postofice depar-
ment out of politics ''-govefnment de-
partments employing large numbers of
men are never taken out of politics
except in theory-the thorough in
vestigation of all expenditures es-
pecially those made for the transport
of the mails will enforce economies
that will put the department on bet
ter business basis that it has ever been
before in the history of the govern
ment. Senator Aldrich says that he
could save $3Oo,0Oo,OoO year in the
expense of running the government and
he could get big slice of that saw
ing right in the postoffice department
without interfering with the efficiency
of the department in the slightest.
Rather the other way for straight
business administration of the depart
ment would not only cut down the ex-
penses but better the service.

especially so for any of them who are

and the fact that they have not done
so indicates that they are fully alive
to the Importance of having this ordi-
nance in force before the opening of
the building season. It is not ex-
pected that there will be any very
powerful opposition to any of the sec
tions of the ordinance but of course
some differences of opinion will de-
velop. 1t is believed by those who

Clerks of Circuit Courts on
Salary Basis of Compensa-
tion Cannot Retain Fees
SUPREME COURT SO DECIDES

That clerks of circuit courts in Wis
consin who, pursuant to law, have
been placed upon salary basis of
compensation, may not retain fees al
lowed to them by the federal statutes
is declared to be the law by the SUI
preme court of Wisconsin, in an opin-
ion by Justice Kerwin, of the supreme
court, handed down Thursday.
The case was that of Barron county
against j. G. Beckwith, clerk Of the
circuit court of that county. AS such
clerk, Beckwith had collected fees in
the sum of $165.50, under the naturali-
cation laws of the United States, act
of congress, 1906. In the trial court
Beckwith contended that fees receiv-
ed by him under the naturalization
laws were not included in such fees
as he was required to account for and
turn over to the county under the res
olution, fixing the salary of the Office,
the resolution having been adopted by
the county board of supervisors of
Barron county in 1901 while the act
of congress fixing the fees was not
passed until 1906. However, the
court held the defendant liable to the
county for the fees and appeal was
taken. The supreme court upholds
the Judgment of the lower court al
though corfessing that the case is one
by no means easy of solution.
The opinion holds that the statute
of the state, under which the clerk or
the court was placed upon salary
basis and required to pay all fees into
the county treasury, is as broad as it
well may be, instended to make the
salary in full for all purposes, and that
fees collected by the official, as clerk
of the court, no matter how or when
authorized should be turned over to
| the county.

Report of State Health De-
partment Shows Good Con-
ditiOns in KenOsha Co.
LITTLE SICKNESS REPORTED

The regular quarterly report Of the
the months of October, November and
December was issued from Madison
on Friday and copies of it were re-
ceived by the Kenosha officials this
morning. The report shows that the
death rate in Kenosha county was not
so large in the last three months of
the year as in the previous quarter
The total number Of deaths in the
county for the quarter was 81. Of
this number 16 were under one wear
in age, 5 between one and four years,
8 over 65 years and the remaining
number between the age of 4 and So.
There were three deaths in the county
from tuberculosis in the quarter and
an equal number from pneumonia.
Bowel trouble brought many deaths
among the children during the period
and the report shows that during this
period seven children under the age
of two years died from these com
plants There were four violent
deaths in the county in the quarter.
The largest number of deaths were
caused by the natural breaking down
due to advanced age.
The report of the state department
if its figures are to be relied upon.
shows that Kenosha county was re-
markable free of contagious diseases
during the quarter and but two cases
of contagious diseases were reported.
Both were cases of scarlet fever and
neither of them resulted fatally The
report indicates that during the quart
er there was an epidemic of diphtheria
throughout the state but not single
case of the disease was reported from
this county.

WAS AGENT OF MILWAUKEE, MAN
John Hochrnuth of the Town of Son.
ers Named as Defendant in Unusual
Suit Brought in the Municipal
Court by Milwaukee Man.

Frank Wolski, a Milwaukee man
through his attorney, A. E. Buckmast-
er, has started an action in the munich
pal court to collect damages to the
amount of $4,000 from John Hoch-
muth, well known farmer in the
town of Somers. The plaintiff al
leges in his action that he was as
saulted and imprisoned without cause
and that he not only suffered bodily
injury at the hands of the Somers
farmer but his feelings were wounded
on account of his being forced to
spend four hours in the county jail of
Kenosha county, Judge Randall in
the municipal court has issued civil
warrant for the arrest of the Somers
man and he came in on Thursday af-
ternoon and arranged to give bonds
in the sum of 5000 pending the deci-
sion Of the case in the municipal
court
Wolski was an agent for Roman Ka-
morowski, a well known Milwaukee
market man, who is the owner of a
farm in the town of Somers and his
dealings for Kamorowski seem to
have been the cause of the action for
damages. Hochmuth rents the farm
belonging to the Milwaukee man and
one day last summer Wolski was sent
out to the farm to represent the own
er in making an inspection of the
premises. He remained at the place
for some time and according to the
story told by Hochmuth did not es-
tablish his right as an agent. The
two men finally came to blows and
it is alleged by the plaintiff in the
action for damages that Hochmuth as
saulted him and badly mistreated him
and then to cap the climax brought
him to Kenosha and caused him to
be locked up in the county Jail as a
L uD
man was not given a hearing in court
and after he had been at the jail for
something like four hours he was re-
leased.
Hochmuth is still on the farm in
question and he alleges that Wolski
was sent down to Kenosha county to
find fault with the management of the
farm in order to make it possible for
the owner of the farm to break the
lease. The case promises to be a de-
cidedly interesting one and it will
come up for trial at the next term OF
the municipal court. AS the action
is tort action Hochmuth may be
sent to Jail should he refuse to pay
damages assessed against him in court

The drop in government revenues
following the panic of 1907 induced
congress to go as far as it ever goes
in the direction of economy. It re-
quested the president and heads of
Departmental to cut down estimates in
the future. They have done so for
the next fiscal year.
The president having indicated that
money can be saved here and there,
the house of representatives promptly
proceeds to appropriate for other pur-
poses the sums thus saved and little
more. 1t has passed a $43,000,000
rivers and harbors bill The senate
committee which has it in hand is
disposed to add $5,000,000 to the bill.
1t remains to be seen whether Sena-
tor Aldrich who says the government
is spending too much, will stop this
raid on the treasury
There are men in congress who, TAX
ing their cue from railroads and other
concerns which need supervision, pro-
test in the name of economy against
the useful outlay such supervision
would entail. But of real economists
who would stop improbable expendi-
lures there are few, and they have
no popular backing. Neither bill
lion dollar congress nor a million dol
lar session provokes popular remon-
STRANGE, and yet the people have to
pay the bills. In one way or another
the government collects from them the
money which congress distributes with
liberal hands.
The people complain of high prices
and inadequate incomes, without re-
alizing how much the situation is ag-
gravated by the vast expenditures of
the national government Ii it were
to take less from them they would
have more money to spend. If they
could be made to see that, congress
would suddenly become economical.
Public sentiment would demand it.
That sentiment is lacking and hence
there will be no economy in appropria-
tions. Congress will appropriate all
the money in sight and some more

Receiver of Zion City Ready
to Give Account of Stew
ardship to U. s. Courts
ESTATE SHOWS SMALL PROFIT

Receiver Gus D. Thomas of Zion
City issued an advance copy of his
report on the estate Of Zion before the
main report winding up the affairs of
his receivership is sent to press.
This may be the last report that is
made before April ! and it may be the
last report made by Receiver Thomas
unless Judge Lands heeds the petit
tion of Volivans and Independents
alike and re-appoints him for an in
determinate period, step that is felt
necessary.
Features of the report are as fol
lows:
!. In the twelyemonth ending Jan
uary 81, 1910, all expenses of all kinds
have been met and profit has been
made of over $4,000.
3. When the period of the receiv-
ership ends April /, as it will unless
there is a appointment as urged, all
of the assets of the estate will be clear
of encumbrance.
3. The property Of the estate,
81 100000, as cleared of debt, will
make claims of Zion worth 20 cents
on the dollar.
4. There will be on hand between
$4,000 and 100000 in actual cash
and good paper.
5. 1t will be shown that since the
first report on July 81, 1908, the as
sets have been increased $22,8OO in
value, in addition to the fact that all
debts have been met.
The tenor of the report indicates the
most excellent work on the part of
Receiver Thomas on behalf of the es-
tate and therefore of the people of
Zion
| 1t is the current belief at Zion that
were the receiver to be kept in the
office that he has so capably filed the
people would sooner or later realize
100 cents ON the dollar.
The petition now being circulated
by Overseer Voliva for the retention
of Receiver Gus d. Thomas as receiv-
er Of the Zion estate is receiving many
signatures. The Independents find it
hard to join with the Volivans even
in this matter, upon which both agree
in views and will circulate a petition
of their own asking Judge Lands to
continue the receivership and to re-
tain Gus D. Thomas as receiver. The
Zion City News win contain copy
of a petition which investors will be
asked to sign and mail to the News.
This is done in order that the sigma
lures Of the nonresident investors may
be obtained.
