ed the 500 local members in grand
lodge sessions. 1t was Heine Ruff
who was exalted ruler when the beauti-
full Elk's home at Seventh and Jack
son streets was built. All the different
committees who had the work in
charge were appointed by him and he
worked hard and long with these COM
mittees, never firing of working for
the good of the order. The building
today stands as a splendid monument
to his untiring efforts and those of the
loyal Elks who put in their time and
money.
It is looked upon as a great honor
in the organization to be presented
with a life membership in this way and
there is little doubt as to the degree
in which Mr.. Ruff will value this token
of the esteem of his brothers.

Mayor of Beloit Takes Issue
With Mike Sutton.
Declares Old Soldier Sentiment
Against Stubs.
SENATOR CURTIS At ABILENE
Brown County Farmer Writes
to Capper.
Says Issue of Campaign Is,
'sKiIl Bull MOosers."

When Mike Sutton of Dodge City
] came to Toreka last week and. gave
out an interview in which he declared
i thar the old soldiers of Kansas were
R. Stubs Tor United States senator,
Sutton did lot reckon with the pro-
tests that We're to come from the Vat
erans- Two protests We're received
Mitchell of Beloit wants it distinctly
und erstood that Sutton either does
not know the old soldier sentim ent
in Kansas or that he misrepreSented
the situation in his interview. R. M.
Painter of Lakeland, Meade county,
urges that the Wearers of the blue
will not tolerate a deserter and that
Stubs and the Bull Moose candidates
became deserters when they consent
ed to wear the Republican uniform
while seeking office and openly de-
serted to the nominee of another party
for president
This is the way Mayor Mitchell.
who was for four years post command
er of the G. A. r. in BeIoit, looks at
the Stubs candidacy and the Sutton
interview:
THE old soldiers of this vicinity and
of all of the state for that matter, are
particularly opposed to Stubs for
United States senator or anything
else. In the Sixth district they voted
almost to a man for Charley Curtis,
knowing chat he was and at all times
mas Deen true IflenQ OF Lnelr cause
in every way and knowing that this
man Stubs has never befriended
them in fact and only poses as their
friend at a time when he hopes to
get their votes for personal advance
ment The old soldiers of this dis
trict are by a very heavy majority for
our splendid president. William How
ard Taft, and since Stubs is acting
as disgraceful traitor to the party
in supporting another candidate for
the presidency than that honorable
American gentleman who heads his
own ticket. the old soldiers of the
Sixth district are no more for him
than they were for Jefferson Davis in
1861. His acts today rank in treach-
cry with those of Jefferson Davis and
without any extenuating circum-
stances. The feeling was largely
strengthened only the other day when
in a speech in this district Stubs used
all of his time in advocating the cleo
ton of the Bull Moose, while he,
Stubs. was attempting to make
Republican speech
1.-THE very large majority of the old
soldiers of the Sixth district are
against Stubs and are still loyal to
Charles Curtis, their friend"

United States Senator Charles Cur
tbs made two speeches in Dickinson
county yesterday and in both speeches
took occasion to fay the Roosevelt
supporters on the Republican state
ticket in Kansas and to criticise the
actions of Henry J. Allen and Will
liam Allen White, the national COM
mitteeman of the Progressive party.
One speech was delivered last night,
while in the afternoon Senator Curtis
was the principal speaker at a Re
publican meeting in Chapman.
Seventy of the old soldiers of Abb
lene sat inside the rail as honor
guests and the court house was crowd
ed to it's capacity. A band played on
the street before the meeting. Sena-
sive measures had been passed by
congress within the last IA years and
that % of these measures had been
passed under the leadership of VIII
liam Harvard Taft. Henry Allen and
Arthur Capper came in for their share
of the speakers attention and he pro-
duced letters from both of them ask
ing him to work for a raise in duties
on special articles during the time of
the tariff legislation two years ago.
These men have cried out in their
newspa pers for reduction of the
tiers. Senator Curtis denounced w.
A White as the biggest boss Kan
sas has ever had.
Curtis spoke to a large crowd at
Chapman in the afternoon and met
many of his old friends during the
afternoon and evening. strong Re-
publican league has been formed in

NICKEL RATE ON
3-CENT LINE ILLEGAL

The question of the right OF the
ID. U. r. to charge FIVE cent fares on
cars running on tracks covered by
the three cent fare ordinance, will be
threshed out in police court, Monday,
when Conductor No. 117l. OF the
Brush line, will have to answer a
warrant charging him with assault
and battery and sworn out by Abe
Ackerman, of No. $50 High-st. east
The north bound Brush cars are
running on Hastings street, whore the
franchise calls for Fourteenth cars
Ackerman, bound for his sisters
home on Farnsworth.st., boarded a
Brush car in mistake for Four
teenth. He rendered thTee-eent
ticket, which was refused by the con
ductor, and an argument resulted, in
which Ackerman advanced the theory
that though he might have taken the
wrong car, the conductor had no right
to demand more than an eight-for-a
quarter ticket, anyway, as he was
running a car on a three-cent fran
chise track The conductor then
threw Ackerman of the car, and Ack-
erman promptly swore on the war
rant before Justice Jeffries.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
WIN IN 81 DISTRICTS

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-The Socialists
have made good their boast that they
would sweep Germany in yesterday
election. Returns at noon today in
dicated that they had elected mem
bers in the Reichstag from at least
81 districts and that they will have at
least an even chance OF electing their
candidates in the re-balloting on Jan.
"A, in 100 other districts where none
OF the contestants received a plurality.
The Socialists made their chief
gains in the industrial centers. Herr
Ledebour, one Of the Socialist lead
ers, carried his district in Berlin by
an increased vote of $4,000.
The Social-Democrats won yester-
day in Koenigsberg, where the Kais-
er delivered his famous Divine
right" manifesto, two years ago.
A Socialist was also elected In
Darmstadt, residence Of the Grand
Duke of Hesse, where Car Nicholas
sojourns in summer. Ii had been
previously a Liberal stronghold.
Thirty of the districts where re-
tnlloting is necessary are almost sure
to be carried by the Socialists. IL Is
admitted by many Conservatives that
the Socialists will have a membership
of at least 100 in the Reichstag, which
would make them the second most
powerful party in that body. There is
bare chance that the re-balloting
may result in their winning first
place over the Centiists.

GROOM, DESERTED At
THE CHURCH, GETS DIVORCE
Durlin Clapp Says Wife Ran
Away as Soon as Knot Was
Tied-Other DEGREES.

From an average OF 80 divorces at
the weekly divorce session, the num-
ber declined of late, and, Saturday,
only seven cases were heard. Five OF
these resulted from Canadian mar
riages.
Just how much OF this falling of
in the number OF cases heard Is due
to the work OF Divorce Proctor Hes
ton, It is impossible to say. but ii is
known that several cases have been
dropped as result of his investiga-
ton, and others set for trial have
been postponed from week to week,
tor no apparent reason.
That she was deserted before the
honeymoon started, was the complaint
of Durlin Clapp, a former resident OF
st. Thomas. Ont, but now Detroiter.
II had been agreed, he said. that after
the ceremony, which took place In
st. Thomas church, they were TO take
the train for Detroit where the plain
tiff had a position. No sooner had
they been pronounced man and wlfe,
however than Dora baked on the Idea
OF leaving home to begin her married
life In a strange city, and dropping her
husbands arm at the church door she
ran 10 ner nome, leaving Inc Weuulhb
party speechless with surprise. The
young husband took the train for De-
troit, thinking his wife would repent
and follow him, but she did not and
letters TO her have remained unan-
swered. He was given divorce.
Mrs. Grace Morden, the pretty wife
Of DR.. George z. Morden, a dentist,
was given a decree OH the grounds OF
non support. She charged that her
husband utterly refused TO support
her, although he had good practice.
Or. Morden did not appear to con-
test the case, his cross-bill, in which
he made serious charges against his
wife, having been withdrawn. 1t Is
understood this was withdrawn on
condition that the wife ask for no
almony.
