After the devotionals which were

This being the meeting nearest to

The introductory was solo,

Mrs. Mitchell also gave reading.
the subject: "Frances Willard as a
Reformer, placing emphasis on her
power of speech and graphic style as
writer, how she dedicated her life
to the uplifting of humanity. her
executive ability to handle great

fiuence. In the temperance reform
multitudes will repeat her words,
cherish her memory and try TO follow
in her footsteps This beloved leader
in reform is no longer the 'uncrowned
queen of America but crowned a
queen IN heaven. This reading was
followed by very interesting one by
Mrs. Eastman, beginning with the
childhood of this great and noble
woman, referring to her school days
in the little school house in the woods
on the banks of Rock river. near
GAINESVILLE, Wis. and about fourteen
miles from Beloit. Following her
school career from here she attended
a select school in Evansville, but the
secret of her success was that she set
herself toward her aim and nothing
would tempt her from that goal, and
another fact to be observed in the
article read was that this beloved
woman. had ancestors who were gifted
with talent and genius which has a
part in measuring the greatness of
man or woman in their depth of
power.
a number of the ladies present con-
tributed to the program by referring
to different incidents of her life, of
her far-reaching influence, the stead
fast and noble example that was
given the world by her having lived,
and the common bond of love through
this translated leader that held COM
munion with the source of all power

FRAUDULENT PAPERS
OF CITIZENSHIP GIVEN
Issued by Former Clerk of the
Court, In 1904.
Facts Brought to Light Monday in
Considering Citizenship Cases-Oth-
er Matters in Circuit Court.

The February term of the circuit
court for this county convened at the
court house in this city Monday. A
considerable portion of the day was
devoted to naturalization matters.
Twenty two persons appeared for
naturalization. The first one upon the
list was John Kalile, of Fennimore.
and in the proceedings incident to the
granting of his citizenship papers a
most remarkable and startling situa-
tion was uncovered,
The petitioners brother, Chas.
Kalile, appeared as witness in his
behalf, and as the law requires that
witnesses must be full citizens of the
United States, Chas. Kalile, who like
his brother is a native of Syria, was
questioned concerning his own citizen
ship,
He produced citizenship papers that
were issued to him in August 1904 by
A. w. Hastings, at that time clerk
Of the court of this county. and
it was disclosed that Kalile had not
previously declared his intention of
becoming a citizen of the United
States.
No person can legally be- admitted
to citizenship by the clerk of the CIR
cult conrt Such citizenship can on
ly be granted BY the circuit judge In
open court. The records do not show
that such citizenship was granted by
the judge and no session of circuit
court was held in this county in Aug
ust 1904.
Consequently the action of Mr. Hast
ings in the matter was a very serious
offense under the law, which is
punishable by both Imprisonment and
fine if conviction results.
The appIica tion for citizenship by
John Kalile was therefore dismissed
and Judge Clemen tson ordered the fol-
lowing entry to be made upon the
court records:
Upon the application of John Kalile to be
admitted to citizenship, the Court, upon eX-
animation and after hearing the testimony
of J. E. Doran, is satisfied that Charles Ka-
lille who appeared for John Kalile as a wit
ness is not citizen of the United States
and that.the pretended certificate OF admis-
sion to citizenship of Charles Kalile unlaw-
fully issued to him by A. W. Hastings, a
clerk. bearing date the 9th day of August
1901. was issued by said clerk without any
order made by the Court in session for the
admission to citizenship of said Charles Ka-
lille
1t is ordered therefore. that said certif-
cate is declared null and void and the said
Kal1le is directed to deliver it to the clerk
OF this court to be by him filed and pre-
served.
1t further developed that the clerk S
record shows no naturalization entries
for the space of one year. from October
1908 to October 1904. and in view of
the nature of the case above recited
it is now common query whether
there were other cases of like character
during that period that may come to
light later.

FINNISH FOR INTERPRETERS
Dialect of Man Charged with
Larceny Stumps Court Officers.

Eric Mikenen. a Finn, who speaks no
English, but was the recipient Of jewelry
from two nurse maids in Mount Morris
Park. had all the interpreters guessing
when he was arraigned before Judge Fos-
ter, in General Sessions. yesterday. The
women had him arresed for grand larceny
when he refused 10 return their rings.
They were not in court. and the method
bv which he obtained the gems is large
~ a matter OF surmise. Half a dozen
interpreters succeeded only in getting
smiles and unintolligible volubiIity from
Eric. one interpreter gave up, saying:
That's my finnish.
The idea is not without merit said
Judge Foster. Does any one here speak
Finnish
An editor Of a Finnish paper was found
in one Of the courts. and he conversed
easily with Eric. lie said that Eric spoke
a dialect peculiar TO an island OF the
coast Of Finland and that Eric protested
that the maids had given him the rings
TO keep. The editor though II extremely
doubtful that the young women had been
able 70 speak the language, and could adj
vance no theory as to the transfer Of the
rings.
When Eric was first arrested no one
could understand him, aid he was sent
20 Bellevue to have his sanity tested. A
plea of not guilty was enterd for him.

To Roll Pie Crust

Only those that have tried 1t know the
real difficulty there is in rolling out pie
crust in the hot summer weather. When
everything is hot and melting the dough
will persist IN sticking to the rolling pin
unless a great deal Of -four is used. and
that takes the richness from the Die
crust. An excellent way to remedy this
annoyance is to make rolling pin OF
bottle. Choose a large, round, smooth
bottle, fill it with ice water and cork
tightly. This will make the very finest
sort of a rolling pin, with no expense
whatever, as all households can boast OF

Icy cold prevents the dough from stick
