WOOdman Will Vote

Much as has been said by the
Modern Woodmen insurgents
against the new insurance rates
OF the society and great as has
been the demand for a referen-
dunn vote on the proposed in
crease, the officials of the society
have gone them one better and.
not waiting for the insurgents to
file petitions for the referendum
as under the recently enacted law
of Illinois they might do. the So
ciety has taken the initiative.
says the Rock Island Union.
Beginning today the local head
offices are sending out to the sew
eral camp clerks in the sociely
blank petition for the referen-
dun vote and asking that action
on the same be taken at the next
regular meeting of the camp.
These petitions will be sent out
to all of the clerks and will spare
the insurgents the expense of this
campaign. If sufficient camps
representing 10 per cent of the
total membership of the society
sign these petitions and ask for
the referendum the vote will be
taken as soon as it can be arrang-
ed. On the referendum the in
must muster more than
80 per cent of the entire mem
bership of the society against the
new rates to defeat them and it
is hardly thought possible that
this can be done.
At any rate the officials of the
society have shown a disposition
to have the referendum vote tax
en- and test the sentiment of the
membership and to abide by the
decision. .-Freeport, ILL.,, Senti-

Commits Suicide
Former Grant County Young Man Kill
Himself at the Home Of His Faith
er Pennington Township

Despondent because of an un-
fortunate love affair, Ole Ander-
son, son of Ed Anderson, Farmin
ton township, committed suicide
by first shooting himself through
the jaw then through the heart.
1t is alleged that the young
man. who had been working at
Andover for the past two years,
became in love with young wo-
man at that place, and wanted to
marry her The young woman;
1t is claimed, was not averse to
Anderson $ wooing, but her
mother objected, and she reject.

have mentally unbalanced the
yourg man, who attempted sui
eide couple Of weeks ago by
trying to throw himself under a
locomotive near AndOyer.
A week ago an effort was made
to have Anderson adjudged in
sane, but the Grant county CON-
missioners of insanity refused to
act, on the ground that the young
man, because of his two years.
residence at Andover had be.
come a resident of Day county.
On the day of the suicide, An
derson went to his fathers room
and soon after shots were heard
by sister who rushed into the
room and found her brother dead

WilmOt Liquor Case
Was Heard by Judge McNulty in this
City Thursday of Last Week.

This liquor case originated in
Wilmot and Ferd J. Maly, a sa
loon keeper at that place, is su-
ing the county commissioners of
Roberts county in an effort to Sc.
cure court order compelling the
commissioners to approve of his
bond. 1t is alleged that Maly
has reputation of conducting
the most orderly saloon in the
northeastern South Dakota, but
the majority of the commission
ers of Roberts county are oppos
ed to saloons and when Mr.. Malv
presented his bond for approval,
the county commissioners refus.
to approve it. On July 10 Maly
secured an alternate writ of man
damus from Judge McNulty, re-
quiring the commissioners to ap-
pear at Milbank to show cause
why they should not approve of
Malys bond. Maly contends.
that as the bond was sufficient to
meet the requirements of the law
and there is no flaw in his record
as law abiding saloon keeper,
the commissioners are bound to
approve of his bond. The COM
missiOners contend the matter
rests with them entirely, and
they are not bound by law to APP
prove the bond. Judge McNulty
took the case under adviSement
and will probably render writ
ten decision this week.

Post Office Robbed
At the Noon Hour While Two of the
Clerks We're Busy With Mails

Monday noon while the post
office was in charge of Chas. Nc
Walters and Mr.. Johnson. a fair.
~ dressed man, pretending to
sell coat hangers, came into the
office lobby and as the door lead
ing back of the fixtures was open
he walked in and offered the
hangers for sale TO Mr.. McWat-
ters who refused to buy and was
told to get out. At this time his
accomplice stepped up to the
window and called for his mail
AS Mr.. Johnson was busy at the
cancellation table Mr.. McWat
ers went to the window to wait
on him, thinking the one selling
hangers had gone out, but to his
surprise saw him looking into
the safe Mr.. McWaters then
took the coat hanger by the arm
and marched him out of the front
door
At this time the clerks became
rather uneasy about the money
in the safe and checked the same
up only to find that they were
about $50 short.
Mr.. McWatters at once notified
Postmaster Blomquist, and in
company with Policemen Sut-
cliffe and Derrick, and John
LllleskOv made search in the
railroad yards for the fugitives.
They were first located by Lille.
skov in the west yards, between
two box cars, quarreling over
the division of the money, who
when hearing this accused them
of the theft Lilleskov grabbed
one and the other ran a little
ways, when he was caught by
one of the policemen.
They were taken to the county
Jail, and when searched only $40
was found on their persons, and
the balance is supposed to have
been hid by them somewhere in
the yards.
Immediately after the robbery

INDICATES
RAPID GTOWTH
OF The CITY

Salem is growing so rapidly that
the every day busy citizen, while
seeing the daily changes, does not
note their magnitude as whole.
The old gives place to the new so
steadily and so rapidly that It is ac-
cepted as a matter of course, and is,
in fact, in the nature of habit. The
horse editor came across the accom-
panying cut in the advertising de-
partment day or so ago, which sug-
gested the above train Of thought.
The cut but a year or two ago was
used in the Journal in connection
with the advertisements, and was
used often. Yet while the building is
readily recognizable, the equine edi-
tor is Of the opinion that many who
know the building, will have to think
twice before they name it.

HICKS.
CHANCES
IMPROVE
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE !

Portland, Or, March 27.-M.
Schmist, a non-union machinist, was
the principal witness today in the
trial of Burt Hicks, open shop ma
chine works operator charged with
the murder of W, A. Workman, a un-
ion machinist. Schmidts' testimony
related principally to threats alleged
to have been made against his life
by union men during the machinist's
strike here and was introduced by
the defense in an attempt to show
that the conduct of union plckets in
front Of the Hicks machine shops
was threatening toward Hicks and
others.
Schmidt said that union men had
threatened and cursed him when he
did not join the union. He admitted
carrying gun and also that he had
been arrested on charge Of carry
ing concealed weapons.
Schmidts testimony is of that ma
ture which the prosecution sought to
bar as irrelevant but which Judge
Gates decided was material to the is
sue. 1t is generally considered that
Judge Gatens' decision makes It pos
sible for the defense to put up a
much stronger case than It other
wise could.

foreign corporations.
The citizens complain that the com

ly, that 1t has made misrepresenta-

closes that the company has not com
piled with either the law pertaining
to foreign corporations or to building
and loan associations, and the district
attorney for the county in which
Union is situated has been directed to
bring proceedings against It.
