ing when 1T Indicated by it's examina-
ton of the defendant, Charles Willis

the $1,000 which WINS paid to Wiiliston

IN CLUB

Miss Virginia Brooks. the Joan of Arc

dous sensation at the meeting of the
Woman's club in Hammond Saturday
when she mentioned the names Of three
well-known Hammond people who own
al purposes in West Hammond
Miss Brooks preceded her sensation
al remarks with the statement that the
time had come when it is necessary TO
cali a spade a spade and to reveal
the identity of people who have been
getting revenue. Indirectly. from vice in
X est Hammond
Miss Brooks has been threatening for
some time TO reveal the Identity OF the
well-lSnown Hammond people who are
alleged to own property that has been
used for immoral purposes.
Embarrassing; Exceedingly.
The CONSERVATION of the members OF
the Woman's club may be imagined
when the fact is known that the wife
of one of the persons mentioned was
present at the meeting and was COM
PEELED 10 listen TO the charge made di-
rectiy against her husband
In view of the fact that Miss Brooks
was the last person on the program,
there was no discussion of her paper.
The incident places the organization
in a very delicate position.
Heretofore. the Woman's club has
manifested an unusual interest in the
reforms in West Hammond for which
Miss Brooks has stood sponsor, but now
there is some question, in view Of the
prominence Of those mentined, as to
whether or not the matter will be car
ried further.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoic strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect
a cure aud their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user
cent if it does not give entire salts
faction and completely remedy con-
stipation. This preparation is called
Rexall Orderlies. These are prompt,
soothing and most effective in action.

STATE FAIR BOARD
ELECTS NEW HEAD
Charles ]. Hill Defeats George
McKerroW for Presidency.
RoWLANDs SUCCEEDS TRUE
Decision Made to Open the 1871 Ex-
hibitIon on Tuesday Instead OF
Monday and End on Saturday
Instead of Friday.

Madison.-The old crowd, which for
many years has absolutely controlled
the state fair board, had their hold
loosened and were badly shaken up
by the outcome at the first meeting
of the new board at the meeting.
Charles J. Hill of Rosendale was
elected president of the state board
of agriculture, defeating George Nc
Kerrow. Mr.. Hill was named on the
first formal ballot. J. J. Nelson was
elected vice-president on the first bal
lot.
John M. True of Baraboo, for the
last thirteen years secretary of the
board, who resigned to accept the Of
flee of state senator, will be succeeded
by R. w. Rowlands Of Genesee.
Little difficulty was experienced in
electing the board of managers for
the state fair. The balloting resulted
in the election of c. L. Hill, ]. ]. Mel
son, Grant U. Fisher, o. G. Rewey
and George McKerrow.
Aside from the election of officers
an important decision made by the
board was to open the 1911 state fair
on Tuesday instead of Monday and
end it on Saturday instead of Friday
as has been the custom. Saturday
will be automobile day" Twenty
thousand dollars will be offered in
purses for harness races.
When the informal ballot for presi-
dent Of the board had been taken the
result was announced as follows:
Hill, z; Fisher, 3; Nelson, 1; McKer-
row, 2. Arthur w. Prehn, one of the
newly appointed members, moved
that the informal ballot be declared
formal, but Mr.. Hill objecting, a for
NAL ballot was taken which resulted
as follows: Hill, 8; Fisher, 3; McKer-
row, l; Nelson, 1.
The informal ballot for secretary
resulted as follows: Packard, 8; Row.
lands, 2; Mackenzie, Q; Roessler, 2;
Bell, 1; Nelson, 1 Caldwell, 1; DON
aid, 1.
Up to the twelfth formal ballot the
votes were we'll scattered, James Mac
Kenzie of Madison leading with 8,
while R. w. Rowlands had 5, and B.
G. Packard of Chippewa Falls 2. On
the twelfth ballot Packards men
swung over to the Waukesha man,
which gave him a majority of one
vote.
While at first glance it seems but
an even break, a careful analysis Of
the situation goes further than that.
c. L. HILL the new president while
he usually voted with the old man
agement, has been looked upon as
fair man with clear sense of what
was right and a desire to do things in
a businesslike way. The election of
r. w. Rowlands of Genesee as secre-
tary was victory for former Presi-
dent McKerrow, who engineered the
deal which landed Mr.. Rowlands in
the Office of secretary.

Important Resolutions Disposed.

The senate has disposed of some
important resolutions coming down
from the assembly, among which was
the resolution in the nature of a me-
mortal to congress asking for an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton providing for the election of
United States senators by direct
vote of the people. Senator White
head objected to the suspension of the
rules, arguing that the matter was
too important to pass through the leg
1slature on suspension of rules and
without public discussion, but the SEN
ate concurred in the matter with only
his vote in opposition. Another reso-
luton concurred in provided for an in
terstate conference on the subject of
fish and game legislation, and provides
for the invitation of a committee of
the legislatures of Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Da-
kota and South Dakota to meet with
the committee of the Wisconsin legis-
lature at Madison February 81 The
senate also concurred in the resolu-
ton asking congress not to pass the
law abolishing the various pension
agencies and centraliZe them in Wash
1ngton, as was proposed in bill now
pending. The resolution asking con-
gress to prohibit the use of phos-
phorus in the manufacture of matches
went over until the next session.

Ovens Bill Is Hit Hard.


The guarantee of bank deposits bill
of Senator Owen received some hard
knocks at the joint hearing in the as
Sembly chamber. The hardest came
from former Assemblyman L. G. Whit
tet OF Edgerton, who was a member
BANS and who, with the other mem
bers Of the committee, was in Okla
hOma when the Columbia bank failed.
Mr.. Whittet's deductions from that
failure and it's effects, as well as the
results of the guarantee law in force
In Oklahoma, were Numerically diff
ferent from the rosy pictures drawn
of the same conditions by Senator
Oven.
Mr.. Whittet held that such a law
as was proposed would make the
banking business a political foot
ball." This was denied by Senator
Owen.
"You are placing it in the hands of
bank commissioner who is appoint
ed by the governor and who can be
changed over night" said Mr. Whit
tet, land if that is not making it
political football I don't know what
you would call It,"
Furthermore, Mr. Whittet said, S.
600 was offered to Elk" the bank COM
missioner in Oklahoma SO as to let
the Columbia bank continue in bust
ness, which would indicate that poll
tics had great deal to do with the
operation of the system.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1911-02-15
Cite Oklahoma Law.

The failure of the Columbia bank
was the central picture around which
the discussion revolved. Senator Owen
said there had been no disturbance
when the bank closed it's doors. to
which Mr.. Whittet agreed. Senator
Owen said the deposits in national
banks in Oklahoma had decreased and
the deposits in the state banks had
increased, owing to the guarantee
law. Mr. Whittet read from state
ments published in Oklahoma papers
showing that the deposits in the ma
tional banks were much greater than
those in the state banks.
Assemblyman o. A. Crowell w1s
called to the chair by Speaker Ingram.
Senator Owen opened the discussion
and said that the Oklahoma guaran-
tee was working fine"
''This legislation is wise, benefi-
cent and economically sound" said
the senator, 'and should appeal to the
people"
