LORIMOR'S ELECTION
DUE TO CORRUPTION

Springfield. ILL.,, May 1.-THE
report of the Helm senatorial CON-
mittee, appointed to investigate
circumstances surrounding the eleca
tion of William Lorimer to the
United States Senate, was returned

SUBSCRIBER MUST PAY.

The acceptance of a newspaper
makes the recipient liable for the
subscription price, according to a
decision handed down last week by
the Kansas City (Mo) court of ap-
peals. The case in question was that
of o. d. Austin, publisher of the Bates
County Record, at Butler, against
Chas. Burge, a subscriber The latter
paid for the paper twice and then re-
fused to pay again. He said he had
ordered it stopped. The Court said:
''The preparation and publication
of a newspaper involves much men
tai and physical labor, as we'll as an
outlay of money One who accepts
the paper by continuously taking it
from the postoffice receives a bene-
fit and pleasure arising from such la
Dor and expenditure as fully as If he
had appropriated any other product
of another's labor and by such act
he must be held liable for the sub
scription price" The above decision
is similar to a number of others
rendered in different states during
the past few years.

WHO'S BOSS?

Judge Chas. l.. Long, a Springfield,
Mass, jurist, in Strengthening out the
differences over household economy
of a married couple, the other day,
settled a perpleXing question just the
way We always believed it would be
settled by some learned and just
Judge 1t is the first victory the
poor married man has had in his
favor since the suffergette bee began
buzzing in the bonnet of the married
woman.
This learned Judge declared that
the husband is absolute lord and mas
ter of the eXchequer
Under the law he is entitled to his
meals at any hour he wants them.
He may select such food as he
chooses. If he wants one food and
his wife wants another the husband s
decision goes.
A servant girl to whom the husband
objects must be discharged.
Finally, man, who pays the bills
and not woman, is boss.

BEWARE OF THE FLY.

If the question were asked ''What
is the most dangerous animal in the
wOrld?" the answer would probably
be 1.-The lion, or THE rattleSnake.
But it would be far from the truth
The really "most dangerous animal
comes upon its prey in a rambling
genial way, flying the flag of socia-
bility 1t is the housefly.
1t takes ten or twelve days for the
fly's egg to develop into fly, which
means that a dozen generations can
be born in a single season. If this
increase were not disturbed by star
vation, changes of temperature, and
disease in their own ranks, there
would be 1876, 900 bushels of flies-all
thrown in for good measure, in a sim
gle season from one fly. There is a
fortune awaiting the scientist who can
devise a method which will eXtermi-
nate the fly.
A fly with only a thousand germs
may call itself clean. A recent expert
ment with four hundred and fourteen
flies that had been specially eX-
posed showed them to be a germ car
ryall of from 1,25O,O00 to $500, 900
germs each. When a fly washes
it's hands, it means that it has just
shaken off some thousands of germs.
An experiment was made to find out
why it washed its hands: fly no
different from it's fellows was caught
in a sterilized net and immersed in
a bottle of sterilized water. When
the previously pure water was exam
ined, it was found that the creature
had left more than five million germs
in it's bath water
The housefly is born in Offal-no-
v here else. And his life is in keep
ing with his birth. He lives until the
day of his death in filth The manure
rile, the cuspidor, and the cesspool
are his home 1t is from these haunts
that he cmes visit the kitchen,
:ie dining-room and the nursery. He
dragS his filthy feet across the
Drt al, dips them in the butter, wipes
them on the meat, and bathes them in
The MIX He seeks out the sick
lG0I and sips the delicious excre-
tions of the consumptive, the ty-
phCid fever patient, and the child
with summer complaint. Then he
fl'aS to the kitchen and deposits the
poisol on the rim of the milk bottle,
ami to the nursery where he lights

The afternoon was given over to

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.

Memorial Day exercises were held IL
the opera house Tuesday afternoon and
was largely attended. The Ladies o.
the G. A. r. had charge Of the prep
arations for the occasion and the lat,
Col. Boynton acted as chairman.
This is the first time since the
founding Of the town Of Wagner that
this, the most sacred holiday of the
year, has been observed in SO patriotic
manner. There were nine of the sur
~'vivors of the Civil war present. A
parade was formed at the corner neal
the headquarters of the local G. A. r.
orders. headed by the Wagner band,
with the Boys in Blue in the front
ranks, the Ladies of the G. A. R. COM
ing next followed by all who wisnei
to fall n line. A march was made to
the opera house where a fine program
was rendered.
The first number was q selection
by the band. followed by America "
by a large chorus. with band accompa-
niment. Then followed invocation
by Rev. George Hoover which was
very powerful to say the least. The
anthem by the chorus. reading by Miss
Trina Grabill and solo by Miss Lucille
James were excellent. The next on
the program was q flag drill by six
teen girls, under the dictatorship of
Miss Jack, which was the finest we
ever saw. Miss Jack is to be compli-
mented upon the excellent training
shown in this number.
An grafton by Hon. H. d. James
was the next number. Mr.. James
consumed thirty minutes in delivering
one of the best speeches ever heard on
such oc aston. 1t was replete with
oratory, Appropriateness and patri-
otism.
A solo by Mrs. Traux, reading by
Mrs. Grimes and a selection by the
band, all very fine, completed the pro-
gram.
AS charm an, Col. A. Boynton ad-
dressed the large audience with q few
well chosen remarks, and among other
things. gave the names, ages and term
of service of the veterans present, all
of which was very interesting to his
hearers. In the course of his talk Mr..
Boynton made a statement that re-
CURED to his many hearers on the fol-
lowing morning when the sad news OF
his untimely death was flashed about
the town. The words referred to
wele; Friends. at the present time
there are no veterans of the Civil war
buried in the Wagner cemetery, but
some of these days. no one can tell
how soon, there will be-" Mr.. Boyn-
ton was all unconscious of the fact
that the sentence above quoted would
De so soon a reality, and that he would
be the one taken from the ranks first.
