Ladies' Aid Entertain
ment a Great Success

That was the universal verdict
rendered by the large number of
people who attended the Ladies
aid entertainment at the opera
house Wednesday evening. 1t
was SIM ly amazing to the aud
ience to know that the ladies of
of Roman could PUT on such a
show in SO short a time and with
the limited number Of ladies to
take part.
The entertainment consisted of
the following program:

The pantomimes consisted of
each lady acting in shadow how
she earned her dollar, and the
audience were to guess, if they
could, who it was.
The cakewalk by Mrs. Weld
and the boxing contest between
Mrs. Weld and Mrs. Welch re-
ceived the. most applause. All
did their parts we'll, however. The
Mother Hubbard sermon by H.
Austin Weld, D. D., was another
amusing number, and the reci-
tations by Mrs. Brandjord and
Mrs. Warner were also Of a high
character. Mrs. Stillman at the
piano and the Misses Wolf in
their singing were loudly ap-
plauded.
The proceeds are to be devoted
to the payment Of the art win
dows in the new church, and
they netted a neat sum.

RESUME FIGHT TO
|MPEACA SE|DEL
MilWaukee's Socialist Execu-
tive Illegally Dished
Out Plums.
National News Association)

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 6.-The
Milwaukee Socialist administration is
in panic. Decisions of the supreme
court, ousting numerous city employees,
which were handed down at Madison,
Wis. yesterday, will be followed by
numerous other startling develop
ments.
The fight to have Mayor Seidel, So
cialist, impeached will be pressed with
renewed vigor. Steps to accomplish
this have already been taken.
He will be charged with violating
the civil service law in appointing C.
A. Mullen, son of an Asphalt trust
official, as street official and various
members of the socialist party, who
held lucrative positions without COM
plying with state laws providing for
competitive examinations.
Suits will be started against Mullen
and the other officials ousted by the
courts, for the return of salaries paid
to them by the city during the past
and city controller will be made par
ties to these suits, as it is believed
that they are individually liable for
salaries paid to the ousted employees
and the money spent under their direc-
ton.
Civic organizations will demand inn
mediate and thorough investigation of
the citys finances. The cost Of con.
ducting the city has increased more
than 100000 under socialist rule.
More than $3.OOO,OOO worth of paw.
ing contracts and street improvements
are affected by the decisions of the su.
preme court. The city may be subject.
ed to heavy damage suits and delay in
the work.
Efforts Of the socialist administra.
ton to oust the chief of police and
chief of the fire department, in order
! to appoint socialists, has also been
baked.

The verdict, as stated by the mem.

about $50 O'Clock on Tuesday after

offered the proposition Of compro

number were few who stood fol
heavy damages, one juror maintaining
that 81 800 was not too much for the
digit.
At first the five jurors, who agreed
that the physician was blameless
"bucked" on the proposal, but wher

This Holiday Season Marks
Beginning of Campaign to
Raise Fund for Shacks for
the Victims.
BUY XMAS SEALS TO
HELP A GOOD CAUSE
IS Per Cent of Proceeds from
Sales of These Seals in the
City for Local Use 81
Deaths up to Dec. I.

With the arrival and distribution of
H5.000 Red Cross Christmas seals in
this city, local interest in the cam
paign to rid Wayne county of the
white plague is evident. 1t is antici-
pated that large sum for the work in
this county will be realized from sales
OF seals.
Merchants, Sunday school classes,
and clubs have joined in the crusade,
and stamps have been placed on sale
al over the city. Persons interested
in the fight against tuberculosis assert
that now, when seventy-five per cent.
OF the receipts from the sale of the
stamps in Richmond can be used di-
rectly for local purposes. is an excel
lent opportunity for the public to lend
its aid in the great work. Strenuous
efforts will be employed to force the
campaign into every section of the
county. and sell at least $4,000 stamps.
A mass meeting to interest the pub
lie in the anti.tubercular fight is in
cluded in the plans of the local society
for the holiday campaign. E. Routzan,
the noted authority on tuberculosis,
has been invited to speak at this meet
ing. and tell Richmond people how
they can reduce the annual number of
deaths from the plague.
Alarming Death Rate.
~"*"As consequence OF the campaign
waged in past years, the annual local
death rate from tuberculosis is being
noticeably decreased, according to
statistics furnished by the local health
department. Last year, out of 333
deaths In the city, 80, or approximate
ly one of every ten, were attributed d;
rectly to consumption.
The present year will not witness
any change in the annual death toll
OF tuberculosis, for the health records
already show thirty-one deaths caused
by either directly or indirectly by the
white plague, and the total by the
first of January will probably exceed
tho 1910 record.
tuberculosis is preventable dis
ease. BY creating fund from IS per
cent Of the proceeds from the sales OF
ChristmaS seals, and by securing a
few voluntary contributions, shacks
could be established on the Reid Mem
orial grounds where all the patients in
the county might be cared for, and
many Of them cured. The state hospi
tai, which accommodates four Wayne
county patients, Is doing good work
but 1t Is no congested and local author
ities report that there are now at least
three cases in this county which may
prove fatal. These victims could have
been saved II there had been a county
establishment to care for them. Over
ninety per cent of tuberculosis cases
comes from association with persons
already afflicted.
Slides advertising the local cam
paign have been placed in Richmond
picture theaters. and efforts are be
ing concentrated now to sell $4,000
seals at one cent each.
