LUTHERAN SYNODS
To COMBINE.
Wisconsin. Minnesota and MiChi-
Qdn to Unite Nebraska
Expected to Join.

The joint Lutheran Synod of Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Michigan again took
up the question of amalgamation of all
Lutheran synods, at its Green Bay con-
ference. The committee on amalgama-
tion reported to adopt the recommends
tion to ratify the four articles adopted
by all districts with the exception of
Nebraska. These four points are:
"That Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Nebraska transfer all their right
and privileges to the joint synod. This
joint synod is to be divided into geo.
graphical districts and the old district
boundaries shall not be considered in
such subdivisions.
"All educational institutions of the
the district synods and sother property
shall be transferred to the ownership of
the joint synod.
"To consider it a matter of justice
that any synod having debts has moral
obligation of settling them where the
legal debt will go with the property"
The Nebraska synod will vote on the
proposition next week. This is without
doubt one of the most important meas
ures that has been acted upon in years.
It is expected that much more can be
accomplished by the combining of the

JEFFERSON SUED
BY LOUIS zEIDLER
Starts S6320Ddmdge Suit Against
City Because Dam Was
Raised.

Louis Zeidler who resides on farm
eight miles this side of Jefferson has
begun $6320 damage suit against the
city of jefferson because of damages
from the overflow of the Rock river on
his land due to the raising of the Jeffer-
son dam. Attorney R. w. Lueck of this
city has began the suit for Mr.. Zeidler
as test case there being twenty-five
other farmers who are similarly placed
at loss because of the rise of the Rock
river.
The complaint in the Zeidler case al
leges that the river was declared navig-
able as far north as the north line of
Dodge county by the first survey of the
lands in this section.
The original owners of the dam base
their rights to the use of the water
power on act of the legislature ap-
proved February 4, 1912, entitled can
act to authorize the construction of a
certain dam across Rock river"
The supreme court of the state hand
ed down decision in 1874 which sus-
tanned verdict of a lower court grant
ing damages to farmers above Jefferson
against the then owners of the dam for
damages sustained by high water caused
by the dam as it was then constructed.
The lower court verdict awarded
damages in a nominal sum and directed
that the dam owners pay further dam
ages of few cents per year so long as
the hight of the dam at that time was
not increased and provided that the
water be lowered six inches each sum-
mer between May / and August /.
A joint survey by surveyors repre-
senting both parties to the present suit
was begun August IA, and completed
August 10. 1t is hoped that the survey
will determine whether or not the river
is higher than it was at. the time of the
supreme court decision. point vital to
the success or failure of the suit. How
ever, the surveyors have not as yet
m ade report as to their findings in
the matter. Prof. L. S. Smith of the
University of Wisconsinis is looking after
the interests of the plaintiff, and En-
gineer Hayrupp of the railroad commits
sion represents the city of Jefferson.
City Attorney L. j. Mistele of Jeffer-
son has filed demurrer to the COM
plant on the ground that if does not
state sufficient cause for action and con-
tending that the court has no jurisdic-
ton in the matter. He asserts that if
his demurrer is not sustained he will
carry the case to the supreme court at
once on the demurrer.

Retort of John Wilkes.

In the days when George III. was
king, and VIXEN his periodic lapses into
infirmity of mind brought about re-
sumptions of the regency and changes
of policy, there was an English lord
chancellor who trimmed his sails to
the doctors bulletins. He was poll
tician of type with which we are all
too familiar. He heard one day that
the king was better and would resume
the reins of Office, and he made an i'm
passioned speech against the regency
In the house of lords In his perora-
ton he cried, Il cannot forget all that
| owe to the bounty of my gracious
sovereign; and when forget him, may
my God forget mel" He was impressed
with the magniicence of his own ora
tory, and could not refrain from re-
peating the last phrase to John Wilkes,
whom he met In Westminster hall aft
er the debate. Forget you!" said
Wilkes. Hell see you damned first"
