Must Surrender Fees.

Hereafter clerks of state courts may
have the joy of collecting naturaliza
ton fees. but the cities or counties for
which the clerks are officials may re-
auire the clerks to pay the fees over
to them.
The Supreme Court so held yesterday
in the case of Harry |. Mulcrevy, county
and city clerk Of San Francisco. against
that city. The city charter provides that
ali moneys collected by any official shall
be paid into the city treasury. but Null
crevy claimed that this did not apply to
naturalization fees collected under the
1906 act of Congress. The clerk was
authorized by this act to retain one-half
of the fees collected by him. turning the
other half into the federal Treasury. The
California courts held Mulcrevy could
retain half the fees. but that he must
pay his half to the city.
The Supreme Court has dismissed the
appeal from the decision of the Wisconsin
supreme court which upheld the constitu-
tionality of the Wisconsin income tax law
of 1911 The federal court did not pass
upon the merits of the law. but acted
merely on questions of jurisdiction.
Fixes Price of Gas.
BY decision of the Supreme Court pro-
nounced yesterday the price of natural
gas to consumers in Kansas City, Kan,

The court held that the act of the Kan
sas legislature. effective May 30. 1911,
fixing the rates of all public utilities at
the rates in force on January !. 1911. did
not violate the obligation of the fran
chise of the Wyandotte County Gas Com
pany to furnish gas in Kansas City,
which entitled the company to increase
its rates from % to 81 cents November 10.

the judge in refusing to allow all sub
scribers to sue in one suit for refunds

ing tested.

The front end of tender is not car,
within the meaning of the safety APP
plance laws. which requires automatic

the rear end has been held to be within

Yesterday of the Supreme Court. which
held that the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company was not responsible IN
damages for the death of one of Its hre-
men because it had not replaced an old
link and pin coupler with an automatic
coupler.
Pennei was killed by dropping be-

CATHOLIC LADIES /
ENTERTAINED

Mrs. James Tarpy and daugh-
ter entertained the Catholic ladies
of this community at their beau
tiful home north of Pawnee Rock
last Thursday afternoon in a most
pleasing manner. There was a
goOdly number in attendance and
the afternoon was most happily
spent in various forms of social
entertainment and in the evening
a most bountiful and appetizing
supper was served the guests. The
Tarpy family have one of the best
improved and most beautiful farm
homes in the country. There are
fine improvements, shade trees
and as pretty-a lawn as could be
imagined, and with their well
known hospitality it is needless
to say that the guests enjoyed
themselves to the utmost. The
Democrat man can vouch for all
having a fine time and an excel
lent supper, for in company with
A. Schwager, H. A. Hall and A. E.
DirkS, he stopped at the Tarpy
home that afternoon while on the
way home from a trip to Pawnee +
Rock, and he can speak from ex+
perience as to the royal way il
which the guests were entertained

MRS. MARY SUSAN PROSCH.

Mrs. Mary Susan (Weidner)
ProSch was born at Portsmouth,
Ohio, April IA, 1858, and passed
on the the fuller life at her home
in Great Bend Sept. 5, 1914. When
ten years of age she removed
with her parents to Iowa where
she grew to wOmanhood. She
was married to John Prosch, Feb
ruary 26, 1886, who walked by her
side till God took her. In 1888
the young couple came to Kansas
settling on farm in Rush coun-
ty where they continued to re-
side until a year and a half ago
when they came to Great Bend
where she then in feeble health
might have better medical atten-
ton. Notwithstanding all posi-
BILE was done for her she contin-
ued to fail and for the past few
months has fingered between life
and death.
Mrs. ProSch was converted and
united with the Methodist church
in her girlhood. Owing to her in
ability to attend church services
she had not transferred her men,
berShip to the local church, but
we are informed by those who
knew her intimately that she was
a Christian of strong faith and ex.
pressed herself as prepared tC
enter her long home of rest and
peace. She was a most devoted
wife and mother, a great lover OF
her home.
She leaves to mourn her depar-

French German Warfare
Depends on Strategy.
London, Sept. 9.-Tt would seem
that the mass of the allied troops
is concentrated along a front of
12O miles, which stretched last
night from the river 0urcq, 80
miles northeast of Paris south to
the Marine, through Sezanne and
east to the forest of ArgOnne and
Vitry-Le-FrancoiS and then north
east to the forest of Argonne and
Verdun.
The position is enormously
strong and with anything like
even numbers it would be impoS-
sible for the German armies to
force the allies further south.
Each flank rests on a fortress, the
left On Paris and the right on Yer
dun. From both strongholdS sup
plies and munitions can be
brought up without danger. 81,
Both the lef! and right wings
are so strong that The Germans
have no alternative, but to at
tempt to crush the center, where
the forest of Rheims renders it diff.
ficult to deploy large masses OF
troops. The bulk of the united
German armies are concentrated
between the AiSne and the Marine
and hold the bridge heads at thu
latter river. In this respect they
are more favorably situated thar
the allies but in all others they
stand at what should prove &
hopeless disadvantage. Boil
flankS are threatened by troop.
from Paris and Verdun, they caI
not attempt to turn either fIanI
of the allies, neither can they hop,
to obtain a decisive success by
) great victory over the center.

the handsome and accomplished
young women of Claflin, and is
one of the best known and most
popular young ladies of that vi
cinity. The groom has been res
ident of Claflin for some time, be-
ing employed in one of the mills
there, and is steady and indus

OFF TO THE BIG SHOWS.

Probably the very finest bunc1
of cattle which has ever beef
shipped out of Barton county,
was the show herd from the H. FL
Holmes ranch, west of town.
which, on Saturday, was shipped
to the big fair at Topeka. Mr..
Holmes has been breeding the
ShorthOrn cattle for a number of
years, has gradually built up his
herd by purchasing only the very
best animals that money could
buy, until he now has one of the
very best herds in ihe west. He
showed a number of his animals
at the big stock shows last fall
and took down a large number of
prizes among strong competition,
and there is no question but what
he will do as well or better this
fall. There were twelve in the
herd which he shipped to Topeka
Saturday and after being showed
at the fair there, they will be ex.
hibited at the stock shows at Law
renee, Oklahoma CITY, Kansas
City and other of the big shows.
They were a fine bunch of cattle
good enough to 90 into any show
ring, and the fact that they will
be shown at the big fairs of The
state will be a big advertisement
for the live stock industry of Bar
ton county.

and 10000 prisoners taken"
In another dispatch there was
this reference to Maubeuge: "All
German papers emphasize the i'm
.portance of the capture of Maui
beuge. The German military lines
are now free and also the capture
of 10000 men is a number so vast
as seriously to weaken the enemy.
"At StraSSburg a session of a
court martial has officially stated
that two months before mobiliza-
GOn, Franco-Tireur bands were

Maubeuge is a fortress of the
first class in the French depart
ment of the Nord on the Somme
river, six miles from the Belgian
frontier. Its defensive includes
eight forts, six in the north and
two south of the river.
