Field Examiners Finish Work.

The field examiners, Louis T.
KOerner and VIM. Gerhard, who
were here just a week examining the
books in the Recorders Office, finish
ed up Friday evening, and went
home. They found slight clerical
error amounting to $4.62. In 1910
Mr.. Monroe was one quarter ahead
in his change, and could not dis
cover where it was. The examiners
found it. A quietus from the audi
tors Office was as usual fastened In
the book, and happened to be pasted
so that it covered up some figures at
the bottom of a page. These were
not added in and of course made the
account come wrong. Of course it
was evident how the accident hap
pened, and Mr. Monroe was ready
to straighten it up, but by the law
this must go the rounds through the
state department, the same as if it
were a hundred thousand. The find
ing of this error cost the county
about one hundred dollars.

Success of Ray Walburn.

All Plymouth will be glad to
learn of the success In New York
City Of Ray Walburn. He has for
the past seven years been working
hard and faithfully at his chosen
profession of the stage. Up to the
present time he has been with the
Seven Days" troupe. Now he has
been chosen out of seventeen contest
ants as the second man in a new
play called 1.-THE Greyhound" He
is now rehearsing with the company
and will be with them when they
give the play the first time in Chica-
go. Ray has at last reached the
goal of prominence in the stage world
where he will get that recognition
which his talent and study justly
deserve.

has ever been about Lake Maxim

short business trip. He says he
can usually transact all the business
he want to with a Chicago house if
he can be there two hours, so
makes the round trip usually in a
day. He seldom stays away from
his own home over night, but he has
friends here who urge him to visit
them oftener. All that could be Sc
cured from him was a promise that
if he missed connections, he would
stay till the early morning train.
He keeps several men busy all the
winter building ard repairing boats,
and it is worth while visiting his
boat building rooms, and going thru
the great storage rooms at any time.
This is an industry that Mr..
Morris has built up from the time
when he made the first old sail boat
on the lake, and has steadily grown
until he gave up running a steamer,
and finally has sold his feet of row
boats, and devotes his entire time to
building and repairing, with a force

LaPaz, April 1.-The minstrel CIV
en- by the Lapaz High School Liter
airy League Saturday evening is con-
sidered by many as one OF the best
dramatic efforts ever given by home
talent in the town.
That it was clean and of high
character was shown by the audience
that packed the large auditorium to
the doors, by their encoring the
actors time and again, forcing them
to put on specialties that were not
on the program and were even
eleventh hour productions.
The League which gave the enter
tainment was organized by members
of the LaPaz High School and all
others who wished to add to the So
cial life of the community in a way
both pleasant and profitable.
Grace Seybold a young teacher OF
ST. Joseph county was elected presi-
dent, Adam Mummey, vice president,
Nellie Warren, secretary and Ray
France treasurer. The meetings
were held each Wednesday evening
and always drew good house
Each program consisted Of debates
songs and recitations. To pay the
expenses of lights and ineidentals an
admission fee of one cent was charg-
ed each person present. Small as
this seems it was the means of put
ting into the treasury over $1,000.
In February the idea of giving g
minstrel as the closing program was
taken up and found many willing
hands to push it forward to a sue
cessful ending.
The program was enlarged weel
by week with speciaities Of on

ONLY CASE OF ITS KIND
Lawyers Differ On Point of Law, and
Test viii Be Made To Determine
the Proper Standing of the
Library Board.

How is the Library coming ONT
What is the Board doing? Are COM
mon questions. People want to know
what progress is being made.
The answer is a suit brought to
corrt to test the meaning of the
law. The Library Board sought to
use money that was raised for
library purposes by taxation, and
which now lies in the lands Of the
City Treasurer, to make a payment
on the library site. An order was
regularly passed by the board, and
drawn mp and presented to Treasur-
CT Hahn, who refused to honor the
order.
The attorney for the Board. L. NJ.
Lauer, was of the opinion that Mr.
Hahn was wrong, but Mr.. Hahn had
the advice of Adam E. Wise, and re-
fused to hand over the money The
Library Board submitted the ques-
ton to Hon. Samuel Parker. and he
wrote an opinion, which was shown
to the City Treasurer, and again
payment was refused.
At meeting of the Board held at
the Office of the President of the
foard Thursday evening, March %.
it was decided that mandamus pro-
ceedings be fled in the Marshall Cir
cult Court to enforce payment of
this money. This was done Monday
morning, and without further con-
tention the matter will be submitted
to the Judge for a ruling on the
law.
We will give the letter from Mr..
Parker in which he gives his opinion
of the question under discussion In
a future issue.

high school students, teachers and a
few joining people from the towns
but a look into their faces as they
upon the stage would have
won for them the title Mr.. and Mrs.
Coon and family from Dixie and
even close inspection would not re-
veal identity.
The voice was the only means of
who's who so that a little
review of the play would not come
amiss:
When it comes to conundrums and
Jokes the Messrs. Shetland and Sey-
bold surely deserve the ribbon.
Their work was new and pleased
the audience.
The song by the Camp meeting
quartet was extra pleasing as it
was necessary to sing twice in order
to get done once. Mr.. Hildebrand,
the township assessor will meet with
greater hospitality as he interviews
the lady of the house on his annual
visit and the reason will be found
in the lovely "lady-like" speech he
delivered on the woman suffrage
question. John has endeared himself
to the ladies even if some do con-
slider him rather slow in proposing
other women reforms.
Some little excitement was gotten
up for the occasion. A fire was
built on the stage and everybody
yelled fire expecting the town fire
department to respond as they had
just placed In the new hose house a
beautiful gas engine fire fighting
machine: but thinking that it might
be slow in arriving, a fire engine
No. 2 was held in readiness and
after giving plenty of time for Co.
No. / to arrive Capt. Hildebrand
drove his beautiful span of blacks
upon the stage and from his prize
fire engine a toy wagon and force
spray pump soon had the fire under
control. He was loudly cheered for
his heroic work and responded to
the audience for another demonstra-
ton and finding no fire when the
department arrived he turned the
water upon his tired team and
Messrs. Hill and Seybold got wet.
The servant problem was easily
solved by Milo Halt in "Chinese
