KUESTERMANN GAINS POINT
Supreme Court. in Congressional Con
test Case, Denies konop Motion
to Quash Writ of Mandamus.

Madison.-The supreme court OF
Wisconsin has denied a motion to
quash the alternative writ of manda-
mus secured some days ago by Con-
gresham Gustav Kuestermann Of
Green Bay, republican, requiring
Secretary of State Frear and the
state board of canvassers to show
cause why they should not be o.
dered to find that Kuestermann was
reelected and to issue him a certifi-
cate of election.
The motion to quash was made in
the interest of Thomas Konop of Ke-
waunee, democrat. who received the
certificate of election after the state
board of canvassers declared he was
elected. The case will be heard on
its merits at a sitting of the court TO
begin on Jan. 81 and q decision will
probably be announced before the
next congress convenes in March.
The attorneys for Kuestermann ex-
pected that the defendants would
make full return to the writ OF
mandamus instead Of simply MOVING
to quash it, which would bring all
the papers and facts in the ca Sc be-
fore the court for consideration. The
motion to quash will simply result in
delaying the decision.

CORA EDWARDS NOT GUILTY
Jury in Oshkosh Murder Trial Gives
Verdict of Acquittal After "a
Hours Dsliberation.

Oshkosh. After being out twenty
four hours and reporting that it
could not agree, the jury in the trial
of Cora Edwards, charged with the
murder of William T. Ebeling, later
brought in verdict of not guilty.
The woman displayed the keenest
interest as the twelve men who held
her fate in their hands filed into the
room. She showed no great emotion.
but shook hands with the Judge when
the verdict was announced. She was
Immediately discharged and left the
courthouse at once.
The case has been one of the most
memorable in the annals of Winnie
bago county, and of wide interest
throughout Fox valley. The court
room was packed at all times and
many were turnel away.
Cora Edwards was charged with
shooting William T. Ebeling. a
wealthy young business man of
Green Bay, Sept 81, 1910, in dis
orderly house conducted by her at
Neenah. Two shots were fired soon
after the pair went to the womans
room, following an automobile ride.
AS Ebeling died at Clark hospital he
made a statement to the district at
torney that Cora Edwards did not
fire the shots, but that he discharged
the weapon himself, accidentally.
This statement played an impor-
tant part in the case, being intro
duced as evidence. The defendant
was the divorced wife of Ebeling.
They were married at Milwaukee.

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn -
Not Without Some Points Of
WorthIness.

Miss Venus is lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not one word
has she uttered. Just think she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless RACES. She
has to stand a bunch of gulf frcua Art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grills the
heather layman. When some low
brow of brutal mein starts merrily to
panning and says her face is worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning or that he has a waitress
friend who jerks a coffee jigger could
give her many, many leagues and beat
her out on figger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sin
ner but holds her tongue and pedes.
tai; O, Venus is a winner She's On
the job both day and night; she hears
men knock or fiatter and women not
of classic mold get madden than a
halter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner, in Geld
no mits to reach quilt, in heat, no
hands to fan her She Is n lesson in
herself-a fruit for daily picking Just
spare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless kicking. &c. s., in

MORE GAS AT CANEY, KANSAS
New Field Calls for City Bond Issue
e, to Build Four Miles Of Eight
Inch Pipe Line.

Caney, Kan, Sept. "a call mas
lust been issued for special election
in three weeks to vote bonds to the
amount Of $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of building an eight-inch gas
nine line from a new field developed
BY the Ramsey Oil company four
miles southwest of the city, to supply
the Caney factories. The field al
ready has several good wells and at Q
depth of nine hundred feet, and with
the 5000 acres controlled by the
Ramsey Oil company it is estimated
Caney will have gas for its factories
for years.
The pipe line is to be built and
operated by the city, which pays the
Ramsey company three cents per
1000 cubic feet and sells it to the
brick plants, glass plants and other
factories of the city at FIVE cents per
1000 cubic feet. The present con-
sumption of gas is 100000 cubic feet
daily, and in two years it is estimated
the line will pay for itself and in the
event of the gas supply lasting sew
eral years, as anticipated, will ma
terially reduce the Indebtedness OF
the city.
