OLD SETTLERS TO
HOLD BIC REUNION
COUNTY PEOPLE
WILL HAVE ANNUAL Meeting
IN FAIRFIELD OCTOBER I.

Fairfield, July 22-Jefferson county
union in Fairfield this year on Thurs
day October 1st and already arrange
ments are being made for such cele-
bration as will come up to the previous
records. On account of the rainy wealth
err the past two years the old settlers
program has been somewhat curtailed
and yet with all that last year the buff
falo barbecue drew such immense
crowds that it taxed the hotels, restau-
rants and other business places to care
for the visitors during the downpour OF
rain which lasted practically the entire
day.
This year the date has been changed
and will be a couple Of weeks earlier
and thus avoid the equinoxal storms.
which usually occur during October.
There will probably be no buffalo bar
becue this year but the committees in
charge promise something equally as
entertaining and unusual. There will be
a splendid program during the day and
in the evening the business men and
merchants are arranging for a grand
pageant and fireworks galore.
There is some talk Of extending the
time to two days but that has not been
decided upon yet and 1t Is probably
that one big day will be all that will be
planned for. The jefferson county old
settlers day has come to be one of the
events which is looked forward to with
as much pleasure and anticipation on
the part Of the older folks as the Fourth
of July is by the younger generation,
for it is annually made the home COM
ing event Tor many hundreds Of former
residents OF Jefferson county who visit
here only once during the year.

those of Calmette's heirs, then said
sarcastically:
81 regard the incident as only an
enjoyable diversion. 1t has pleased M.
Caillaux to transform a criminal trial
into political one He intends to go
from here with a certificate of loyalty
to France Much good it will do him.
Court in Disorder.
AS the disorder in court was so
great that Judge Albanel threatened
to clear the chamber if the manifesto
tiOns were repeated.
When quiet had been restored
Georges Fromentin, sales clerk in
the gun store where Nine. Caillaux
purchased the weapon with which she
killed Calmette, was then called. He
took an automatic pistol from the
package in front of the judges and ex-
planned it's action. Maitre Chenu
said:
Madame Caillaux did not say when
she loaded the. pistol" - y
Nine. Caillaux: GAS soon as l got
into the motor car, before l could for
get Fromentin's explanation"
Nine. Caillaux added:
81 had never fired pistol, but l
had hunted with my husband. bought
a gun at the same place."
Another gunsmith's employee said
Nine. Caillaux had practiced in the
range under the store. Three of her
six shots struck target the size of
human figure"
Nine. Caillaux continued: ct tried
the pistol solely at the request of the
employee. He wanted me to be sure i
knew how it worked"
The procurator general exclaimed
that the honor and patriotism Of M
Caillaux remained unstained.
Maitre Labori objected to the langu-
gage used by Maitre Chenu.
Georges Prestat, a brother-in-law of
the murdered editor and chairman OF
the Figaro company, was then called
to the stand and emphatically denied
that the Figaro had been in the pay of
foreign banks. The Germans. he said,
had never held the majority of the
shares of the Figaro as had been al
legged. He then read lengthy extracts
from memorandum
Sensation in Court.
While M. Prestat was testifying M.
Caillaux came from his seat among
the witnesses and stood closer to the
bar in order to hear better.
Maitre Chenu, commenting on NJ.
Prestats testimony said:
81 will add that it does not become
NJ CaillauX to come here and endeavOr
to soil the grave which his wife
made.
Then followed an exciting scene.
Many of those in court rose from their
seats and shouted Bravo" while
others Kissed and murmured until
Judge Albanel was obliged to call the
court to order with a severe reprimand.
M. Caillaux. in state of extreme agi-
tation, exclaimed.
"Since l must take notice of what
this lawyer has said. will ask him if
he will take personal responsibility for
his words
Another sensation was caused among
the spectators by this exclamation,
and loud "bravos," for M. Caillaux
were heard all over the court When
the noise had somewhat subsidized,
Maitre Chenu replied:
II take the entire responsibility
You connot menace me here. You
doubtless do not know the temper of
the man whom you address,"

twenty-seven he again reached New York,

Riis' chance came when q paper was start
ed in Brooklyn, and he was made editor at
SIS a week. The paper failed in two weeks,
and he got a job on the Tribune, and there
went to the Sun as a police reporter at
Headquarters.
His book, "How the Other Half Lives
was read by Theodore Roosevelt, then Police
Commissioner. He went to the reporters
room and left o card for Riis, and on it
wrote: Il have read your book. I want
to help" That began a lasting friendship.
In 1897 Riis became secretary of the

years active in settlement work. Riis' books
have been successful, and as u lecturer he
was popular.
Theodore Roosevelt sent the following

centinetre, and as both ends are left free,
She number is thus 400, or over 1000 to euch
square inch. Very ine gold wires are used,
one fye-hundreth of an inch in diameter,
and fine long hairs from "a womau's head are
attached at the middle to these. The gold
loop or knot acts as an "anchor," and after
sterilization is introduced into the subcutan-
eous tissue, where it is slightly twisted, and
holds the hair permanently in position. II
is stated that 500 hairs can be thus introduce.
ed into the scalp within three quarters Of an,
hour.
The hair is stated to appear perfectly M
tural, aud a capsule of tissue appears to form
around each gold wire Knot. The inflamma-
ton resulting from the treatment entirely
disappears il from 10 to l2days.-Ibid.

He had been ill many months with heart

almost over the world.
He was born in Ribe, Denmark, in 1849,
