The President of the United States
of America to Julia A. Downing,

You are hereby summoned and

complaint of the plaintiff filed in
the office of the clerk of court, of
the District of Alaska, Second Divis-

unnoticed by those who become
hardened to the pursuit. This in
itself is an infallible sign of the de-
generacy which follows, and it often
happens that the mental prostitute
takes even pride in his ability to
misrepresent in the interests of
those who pay his hire. 1t often
happens that the demi-mondaine,
similarly, takes pride in her pur-
suit, and as queen of her calling is
honored by all others. Naturally
that is one of the most complete
sings that the very calling is exereis-
ing paralyzing influence upon the
nature of the person, and that the
reasoning faculties as far al the
most elementary ethical principles
are concerned have become benumb-
ed After a while the mental pros
titute develops in accordance with
his profession an additional hypo-
crisy which still further betokens
the degeneracy of his manhood, the
degradation of his will, and the
abasement of his personality,
We know nothing more pitiable
than all this, but we blame not the
individual who perverts and misrep-
resents everything concerning labor
in the interests of his master and
boosts capitalists of any degree
whatever to the skies, but the sys-
tenn that compels such wretched
prostitution to exist. 1t is once
more the influence of the dollar and
the slime of the profit system, which
will be always with us just as long
as the profit system exists. They
are effects, not causes, however
much they may contribute towards
renewal of the causes of which
they are such lamentable manifesto
lions. They are creatures of capt.
talistie circumstances, and have
been noted in other epoehs pander-
ing to those in power although they
we-A in sarlier and para candid
ages known by far grosser but
perhaps a far more correct name
than mental prostitutes. They were
called what they actually were.

barns and small buildings were blown
down.
The tornado formed southwest Of
Sturgeon and travelled northeast. No
damage was done here.
AS the clouds became threatening
during the afternoon, the Sturgeon
school was dismissed. and practically
all the towns-people sought refuge IN
cyclone cellars.
The tornado struck Larrabee, Mo-,
across the line in Audrian county, and
there demolished the water tank Of
the Chicago & Alton railway, hurled
several box cars off the track and tore
down telegraph and telephone poles.
Had the Alton railroads Red Flyer
train that left Kansas City for st.
Louis at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
not been ten minutes late, it would
have been directly in the path Of the
tornado. AS 1t was, the train reached
Clark, six miles from Larrabee, at
the moment the storm struck the lat
ter place. Passengers on the train
saw the storm and feared the train
would be struck. The train was de-
toured over the Wabash road. r..

I'VE have blindly proceeded upon the
that we could turn swamps
marshes and forests-natures Peser-
voirs-into farms, towns and cities
without considering what disposition
to make of surplus food waters that
under natural conditions are retained
bv them. We must provide artificial
reservoirs to replace the marsh and

BROKE UP PIANO
MOTHER PROPOSED WAITING
SEVEN YEARS AND GOT A
BROKEN NOSE As A RESULT

Charles w. Songer, age IS, proposed
getting married to Miss Stella Rown.
aged ii within n few days, but the
mother of Miss Stella objected, say
ing her little daughter must wait at
least seven years. Songer wouldn't
think Of waiting seven years and as
result he assaulted Mrs. Rown. Som
ger also dragged piano to the street
and broke the instrument Into thous-
and pieces with an axe. G. Brown,
father Of the girl filed information IN
the court Of w. J. Berry yesterday
afternoon charging Songer with as
sault and battery. Songer was later
put under arrest by Constable Warren
Criswell and Chief of Police Alva
Fielder and his trial has been set for
next Wednesday morning at 9 O'clock
According to Mrs. Rown's story,
Songer has been boarding at their
homo on Ellis avenue and keeping
company with Miss Stella. She said
that the young folks" talked Of mar
rage, but she never took it seriously
until yesterday, when Songer called
and wanted to get married at once. Il
refused absolutely" said the worked
up mother in a conversation to the
oficer. "Stella and said that if he
waited seven years she would marry
him. The thought Of waiting seven
years seemed to drive him crazy be-
cause he started In on me and every
thing else in the house like crazy
man. The first thing he did was to hit
me over the nose with his fist and
then he began to drag Stella's piano
out of the house" When asked by the
officer If the piano belonged to Mr..
Songer the woman said that 1t be-
longed to Songer and her daughter to-
gether. Referring to the ownership
Of the piano the mother said stella
worked a puzzle which deducted $3.50
from the regular cost and Mr., Songer
paid the balance which think was
about $780," According to Mrs. Rown's
story Songer got an axe and broke
the piano into thousand pieces.
In conversation with the police Son
ger stated that he was getting tired
Of being imposed on by the Rowns
and that he intended to show that he
paid for the piano and that he was
justified in hitting Mr.. Rown.
Mrs. Rown showed marks on her
face of the beating administered by
Songer. ~,
