Boat Tickets Rejected; Refuses to Pay
Fare; Jailed; Asks $4,000.

Special to Times-Republican.
Clear Lake. Dec. IA very peculiar
case is now on trial in the district
court of this county. William Spillett
wants damages of the Clear Lake Boat
and Amusement Company to the
amount Of $4,000. From what can be
learned Spillett. who is a resident Of
Forest City, sets up the claim that with
four others one evening last summer
he bought . round trip ticket to Bay
side. They were conveyed owe all
right and at about II o'clock the big
boat came back stopping at the dock
but it was so full that they could not
get on.
Later a smaller boa went over ana
the boys got into that. The man run
ninS the beat refused to take the tick
cts some Of them had. stating they
were void. Some of the boys paid the
% cents but two Of them would not. AS
a consequence when they got to land,
Spillett claims that he was arrested and
had to spend part Of the night in jail
n this action for damages is for the
humiliation and disgrace caused by his.
Should Spillett be able to get a satis-
factory verdict an action by the other
aggrieved party Will be instituted.

Sioux City, Dec. 12.-Something like
thirty years ago, the government Of the
United States srappled with a social
problem which had proved too big for
individual states. There had grown
up In the country, with its most beau

south, a great gambling scheme, con-
Quoted under the name Of the LOUISE

wide In It's operations and really be-
came an International institution be-

of the more poorly developed govern
ments there are national lotteries, the
profits Of which inure to the govern
ment, but in this country it was u pri-
vate institution and everybody who
owned an interest in it became enor-
mously wealthy, while those who gam
bled sunk into deeper poverty.
The government Of the United States
finally nacte a law, drawn with all
the skill n integrity OF all the great
lawyers in congress-, to make it alb
solutely effective. 1t defined lotteries
to the minutest detail and prohibited
them by prohibiting the use of the
.%postoffice department for the distri-
button of letters, circulars. newspapers
and all other forms OF communication
concerning the lottery.
After the enactment of that law
those who were interested in the pro-
motion of the gambling scheme, in or
der to make the new law offensive, at
tackled church fairs and other kinds OF
private and semi private methods Of
raising money for charitable purposes.

PRISON LABOR

The old saying is, "where there
is will there is way" This has
been demonstrated by the governor
of Arkansas:
Governor George W. Donaghey
startled the country, the other day,
when he emptied the Arkansas
penitentiary of $50 convicts. He
did it for one reason, he says-to
shock his state into a realization
of the terrible evil of the contract
system of prison labor. Said he:
For four years l have been
begging, pleading with legislatures
of this state to abolish the convict
leasing system.
81 have sent message after mes
sage, only to see powerful lobby
stitie every measure against the
selling of flesh and blood to slave

BANKING Under Difficulties.

Many years ago gold was discovered
at Hokitika, on the west coast of New
Zealand. There was rush to the
small Maori village, and within
few weeks seventy vessels, of all rigs
and tonnage, were waiting to get over
the dangerous harbor bar. The au-
thor of "Antipodean Notes" describes
the first bank established in the little
town.
With the vessels came two agents
of a local bank. Their bank furniture
consisted of a safe, a pair OF scales,
a tent and a couple of revolvers. The
two agents set up their tent, put the
safe in the back part. and a plank,
laid across two tree stumps. in front
The bank staff" sat down behind
the plank; before one man were the
scales, bottle Of acid. and a note
book; tho other with a cooked re-
volver.
The digger brought his gold to the
plank counter" where it was weighed
and tested. When the value was de-.
termined the testing clerk unlocked
the safe, placed the gold in it. brought
out bundle of dirty bank-notes, and
handed them to the digger.
During this transaction, the clerk
with the revolver looked carefully to
see II any suspicious persons were
lurking near.-Youth's Companion.
