$4,000 FOR THE TAR VICTIM.
Talk Of Changing Name of the Town.
Residents Resent the Odium Cast
Upon Shady Bend.

Lincoln Center, Kans, Dec. 9-Miss
Mary Chamberlain, the victim Of the
Shady Bend tar party" will. it is said,
receive not less than $4,000 damages,
and it is probable the courts have
beard the last of the affair.
Miss Chamberlain intended to bring
suits for damages against all the par
Elephants in the outrage, but proceed
ings are now under way for compro-
mise, and it is said $4,000 is the least
her attorneys will accept.
The three men, E. G. Clark, Jay
Fitzwater and Watson Scranton, who
pleaded guilty, and John Schmidt who
was convicted, are worth in the aggre-
gate more than 100000. Clark alone
being rated in excess of $4,000. Their
pleas of guilty and the conviction of
Schmidt leaves them exposed for an
action for damages. 1t is said that up
on the advice of their attorneys they
are attempting compromise rather
than to go into court.
Clark has transferred his flour and
feed mill and other property worth
more than $4,000 to his business part
ner and is said to be preparing to leave
town. This action, however, can be set
aside in the courts.
There is talk also in Shady Bend of
changing the name of the village
The almost unanimous condemnation
of the press has fallen like blight up
on the town and the people are eager
to get from under it. They say as long
as the town retains the name it will be
held up to scorn and it's inhabitants
marked wherever they go.
1t is possible also that the town will
lose several of it's population who have
been responsible for the Odium. The
better people are talking to the effect
that they have smelled all the tar they
want to.
Miss Chamberlain, however will go
uncondoled as far as the club women of
Hutchinson are concerned. A motion
was made at meeting of the fedora
ton of clubs, but such storm of pro-
tests followed there was no second and
the motion was dropped.
1T is unbecOming and out of place
for this club to take such action" one
of the members asserted. 1T is not at
all our place to take hand in such a
thing"
This sentiment was generally indors-
cd. The women, however, did demand
a law that would make such outrages
a felony. and a petition will be sent to
the legislature in favor of the suggest
ed law

The entire community was startled
Sunday morning by the report that
membranous Group had claimed anOth-
er victim in the person of little Vim
cent Brake, the youngest child of E..
r. and Nettie Brake. He had been
under the doctors care for several
days and the case was diagnosed as
tonsilitis. On Saturday night he grew
worse and it was decided to admins
ter antitoxim. This was done, but to
no avail. The child died about ten
o'clock on the following morning. A
quarantine was established at once and
every precaution taken to prevent any
spread of the disease. Vincent Brake
was born in Dow City April 8, 1909,
and was therefore but 2 years, 8
months and s days old He was very
bright child. His little form was laid
to rest in the Dow City cemetery Sun
day evening beside the graves of three
brothers and one sister, who have pre-
ceded him to the better land. The
sympathy of the whole community
goes out to the grief stricken family.
Report from Edna Brazel is that no
material change has as yet come. The
girl is conscious at times for very
! short time and still suffers such ter
rible pain. The family physician
looks daily for SOME change, either
for better or worse. She takes very
little nourishment and is thus losing
| in flesh and strength.

A marked change in the judicial sys-
tenn of the country will take place on
January list, when the United States
circuit courts will go out of existence.
There are n of these courts, meeting
at 276 different places. The 20 judges;
involved will continue to sit in the
circuit cours of appeal and help out
the district courts. The circuit court
clerks, however, will lose their jobs,
the Offices being abolished. This
change is one Of the reforms in the
new judicial code.

CHANGE IN THE RULES
New Suggestions as to the State
Teachers Exan,ina atoms,


Superintendent of schools through.
out the state are being made ac-
quainted with a number of changes
which have been made, which are to
govern state examinations, the issu-
ing of teachers certificates and their
life.
Commencing with the next state
examinations, which will be held in
May, all examines must give their
civil names. In cases where other
titles, such as names of nuns are to
be used they may be added. The
same ruling holds in the matter of
securing the renewal or in exchang-
ing limited for complete certifi-
cate
To renew certificate henceforth
the markings attained must be Is
per cent.
In striving for first grade GER
tificate credit in chemistry will be
accepted in lieu of physics.
One marked alteration over the
past conditions is the elimination of
the conditionals. After May, 1911,
no more conditional certificates will
be issued and all outstanding will
be withdrawn.
A student having completed two
years of high school work and year
in the training department, including
practice teaching and observation,
will be entitled to second grade
certificate for one year. A student
having completed three years high
school work and the training depart
ment will be in position to secure a
first grade certificate valid for two
years. These are valid, however, only
in the rural and semi.gradcd schools.
A certificate of either grade will not
be granted to person under eigh-
teen years of age.
For the renewal of certificates of
the first and second grades four and
two state reading credits respect.
lively are required and must be Sc
cured during the life of the certifi.
cate.
No certificate earned more than five
years previous to the time of pre-.
sentation will be accepted unless the
holder has taught twelve months
during the five years.
Marks of seventy-fve on a record
slip from an incomplete examination
not earlier than February. 1906, for
merly 1905, are permanent.
All certificates based on either

There will be no more wars If we
treat other nations right The foes
we need fear are not without, but
within. They are the foes who

Among these domestic foes that we
need fear are three in particular,
and they are reasonable trinity:
Greed, avarice and lust for gain
They are responsible for seventy.fve
per cent of the crimes committed
in this country. They account for
our littleness along with our bigness,
: for our ff1eanness along with our
