No Sympathy With "The Un.

Il have no sympathy with the un-

lection. Persons must not take the
law in their own hands"
This comment was made by Recorder
N. r. Broyles, of Atlanta, as he con-
cluded the trial of Mrs. Cora Lanter
Lee, resident in fashionable Peachtree
street here, who publicly flogged T. d.
Thompson, an Atlanta business man,
with horse-whip because of alleged
slanderous remarks he had adopted con-
cerning her.
Mrs. Lee pleaded that she was forced
to deal punishment for the alleged
wrong done her because she had no one
physically strong to defend her.
The court fined Mrs. Lee s10.75 for
disorderly conduct. A similar charge
against Thompson was dismissed. Mrs.
Lee and her husband recently sepa a-

The Master Workman.

When earth'S last picture is painted and
the tubes are twisted and dried;
When the Oldest colors have faded. and
the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need
title down for an aeon or two.
Till the Master of all good workmen
shall set US to work anew!
And those who were good shall be
happy; they shall sit in golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league can
vas with brushes of comets hair;
They shall find real saints to draw from
-Magdelene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
and never be tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame,
And no one shall work for money,
and no one shall work for fame;
But each for the joy OF the working,
and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees it for
the God of Things as They Are.

HOld-up in MClntire.

Saturda evening, after the theater,
at about II as O'Clock a lone masked
bandit entered F. V. Doran's, barber
shop at McLntire, and proceeded to
hold-up the barber and seven men who
were awaiting their turn for the chair.
The bandit, at the point of gun,
compelled the barber's helper to go
througg the pockets of the men, re-
lieving them of money, watches and
such valuables as they happened to
have. Francis Doran was relieved of
q gold watch and chain and a small
amount of silver. The fellow got
about $500 in change in the raid, and
then disappeared as quietly as he came

". B. Webster Afflicted.

The last issue of the Port Angeles
Olympic Leader, edited by W. B.. and
E. B. Webster, contained an item
signed by the latter concerning an
affliction which was growing upon Mr..
Webster while he was guest of Cres-
CO friends last summer. Mr.. Webster
may be sure of the sympathy of host
of Cresco friends.
"Friends of the Oympic-Leader, not
understanding, have occasionally of
late remarked the fact that W. B.
Webster, the senior editor, failed to
recognize them when passing on the
street. Afflicted with a cataract,
slowly thickening film which grows
over the eye, he simply is unable to
distinguish faces a few feet away,
and neither can he longer read the
papers. tho he is still able to attend to
considerable Office work. A similar
film was removed few years ago,
since he has been living in Angeles.
and we trust that when the conditions
are right for the operation, he may be
able to see again as we'll as before.

Charles Sexton Killed Near BlufftOn.

- As the result of an unruly horse
backing into ditch twelve or fourteen
feet in depth, Charles Sexton was
killed Christmas night at about ll:3O.
He had driven to a neighbor's, Henry
Courtney, to spend the evening, and on
his return home was accompanied a
few rods by Patrick Courtney with a
lantern to light him past the ditch. They
had passedit and Courtney was starting
to get out of the buggy to return home
when the horse became frightened and
backed into the ditch. Both young
men were under the buggy but Court
ney was able to get out. Sexton told
Courtney he was not hurt but to cut
the harness and get the horse off, but
before it could be done the horse gave a
plunge to free himself and in 80 doing
crushed the life out of Sexton, who
gave single groan and expired. The
deceased was brother of Mrs. James

DeS MOines Wins Tax Fight.

The State OF Iowa won victory in
the capitol extension case Tuesday
when the supreme court upheld every
contention made by Attorney General
Cosson in his defense Of the law en-
acted by the last general assembly.
The law, briefly, provided that half
mill levy be made for two years and
that levy which would raise Sl5O,OO0
be made each year for eight years fol-
lowing. The whole amount to be used
in the purchase of additional grounds
about the present capitol building and
the improvement of these grounds.
Action to have the law declared un-
constitutional was brought by John w.
Rowley and others Of Keosaqua. One.
suit was against the officers of Van
Buren county ard the other against
the state officials. The cases are COM
bined in one opinion as handed down
by the supreme court.
The court holds that the state NAV
anticipate the two years levy and
$3.50, 900 in excess of that. The con-
tention Of those opposed to the law
was that 1t provided for debt in ex-
cess of the constitutional limit of $3.50
600. Under the ruling of the court
the state may issue warrants for the
year 1914 and 1915, which under the
half mill levied will amount to about
$3.50, 900 year, and in addition to that
may anticipate $3.50, 600 for 1916 or
succeeding years. This gives the state
more power than it asks for as the ex-
ecutive council already placed itself on
record as in favor Of anticipating the
tax year by year and not in the total
amount.
Des Moines generally gets whatever
it goes after. So
