The cooperation OF the man the wom-
an is necessary for the rightful train

full enough to get and to keep the con-
fldence of the child and at certain
period the boy naturally turns from
the mothers guidance and 1t is then
that he most needs his fathers help.
The whole was full Of suggestive and
intensely important thoughts
The practical results of teaching

JANITOR CASE
BACK TO BOARD
JUDGE c. w. vERMlLloN PASSED
ON THE MANDAMUs THIS
MORNING.

III r
The chief feature of the district
court session this morning was the
ruling Of Judge G. w. Vermilion on the
writ OF mandamus that was issued
some time ago against the board OF
supervisors ordering that body TO
show reasons for the appointment OF
w. Brady janitor of the court house
and ignoring the application OF Henry
Arnold, an old soldier who made claim
Under the old soldier preference act.
The court in a lengthy statement
held that the discretion of the board
would not be interferred with by the
courts as that body had certain dis
cretionary powers with which he did
not care to interfere. Hover, he
stated that the question Of the quail
f1cation of the two applicants should
be investigated by the board and gave
the necessary order to the plaintiffs
to have record entry made and the
matter referred back to the board,
its action to govern the appointment.
Will Fight for Job.
Attorney Whitmcre, representing
Plaintiff H. Arnold stated that II
Arnold did not secure the appoint
ment, he would probably take further
action along the same lines on the
grounds that the action of the board
is arbitrary The costs were assessed
against the defendants.
Attorney C. w. Whitmore question
ed the signature of J. J. Cornell on
the saloon petition Of consent, which
case will come up next Monday. The
witness testified that he authorized the
signature and said his son, minor,
aged Is years, signed the petition. The
object Of the inquiry was to fix the
charge of perjury against the af1ant,
Robert LOWrie.
Resume Suit on Note.
The hearing Of the Blakesburg
Savings bank VS.. s. A. Burton case in
which note for $4,000 is involved,
was resumed this morning. This case
is likely to consume the remainder of
the week in hearing as 1t covers some
five years time since the note was
given. The validity Of the signature
on the note is the feature Of the suit,
and being denied by the person whose
name is affixed to the instrument Of
fers an opportunity for legal battle.

of morality" that obtains the approval
OF the highest social circles in permit
ting dances by nearly naked women

ing dances no worse before poorer

Against Segregation.

tions" of their patrons are great

ters; white slave trafic" is not or
ganized.

Want Of the necessities of life, crav-
ing for simple luxuries, ignorance, de-
ceit of men, but chief of all-poverty.

girls is assailed at great length in bit
ter terms, and is called the chief rea-
son why young girls fail to resist
temptation.
