to be wondered that our esteemed con-
temporary, the Culpeper Exponent,
makes significant note of the passing OF
grandmother? Thus: Grandmother, a
hen fifteen years old, belonging to Mrs.
R. B. Maooy, died recently. This re-
markable fowl, prior to two years ago,
raised a brood of never less than
eleven chicks twice a year.

MORE GRAFT
 IN WINDY CITY
Nine Police Detectives Are Indicted for Taking Graft Money and
 Protecting Crime.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Nine detectives of the Chicago police force were in- dicted today charged with graft. The district attorney secured the evidence after Barney Bertsche, a boss of the underworld of Chicago, had testified that he paid $1,OOO each month to the police to be allowed to have a clairvoyant monopoly. He reaped thousands of dollars each month from the easy marks who wanted to have the future read.
 Detectives attempted to kill Barney Bertsche in order to prevent his tell ing the district attorney of the graft. They were prevented, however, by special guards provided by the district attorney from his own force of detect ives. The police wished to get rid of the boss clairvoyant because he knew too much.

MURDER WILL
 ALWAYS OUT
Chicago Lawyer Once Committed Crime Is Exposed After 20 Years
 Had Redeemed Past.

CHICAGO, Dec 4.-Carleton Hud son, a wealthy attorney of this city was arrested today charged with hay ing jumped bail bond 20 years ago in New York City when he was held charged with forgery. The identifi' ca ion was made by church member who knew Hudson in New York when he was arrested.
 Much discussion has resulted here especially among prison reformers, as to the advisability of having a man arrested who after 20 years of clean, honest living can be called to ac. count for a crime committed in his earlier days and which he has lived down by honest living. Hudson has practiced law for IS years in this city He has amassed a fortune. His spec. ialty was corporation law, but some times his friends would be surprised to find him defending poor unfor- tunate charged with crime and unable to secure an attorney.
 The possibility of conviction is not considered by the church mem Der who caused the arrest as the wit nesses have all disappeared and even if Hudson had been guilty the evi- dence is gone His exposure, how ever, will ruin his life in this city, besides prison reformers claim that it will be hard for a criminal to be- lieve that it is worth while to lead an honest life, as society seems de. termined to keep down all who at one time committed a crime or are even suspected of crime. The 20 years of clean, honest living, his aid to many unfortunates are all forgotten in the eyes of society and today he stands branded as a criminal.

COED FELLOWSHIP FEAST
AT N. {. CHURCH

WEDNESDAY, September 9, 1914.
What might well be called "a good
fellowship feast" was given last night
in the basement of the M. E. church
by the members of the Brotherhood.
Thirty-one men were present and sat
down to delightful supper Of prairie
chicken and wild duck which were the
spoils Of pleasant outing of the day
before, and which a number of the
good ladies Of the church had prepar-
ed for the table, adding the necessary
accessorier and delicacies that went to
fully round out most tempting meal.
It was no place for the despeptic; and
from CHECKED down to delicious brew
of coffee, every article was real
temptation, and yet - Methodists
though they were in the main-"Yield

ed ordination on account Of her sex
by the New England Methodist Epis-
copal conference. Her case was again
refused when appealed to the general
conference in Cincinnati in 1880, and
she then applied to the New York
conference OF the Methodist Protest
ant Church, being the first woman or
dained in that denomination. She sup
plemented her theological degree by
one in medicine at Boston university.
Becoming deeply interested in prac-
tical reform she finally resigned her
pastorate to lecture for the Aaseachu-
sets Woman Suffrage association and
was also National Superintendent Of
Franchise for the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. In 1892 she was
elected vice president Of the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
tion, and in 1904 became its presi-
dent, which Office she now holds.

lean, arose, and gave a talk on the
Brotherhood work. Prof. James, Mr..
Barton, Mr.. label and Mr.. Heidel, the
four ex-presidents of the society, were
next called upon to respond and did so
with easy grace and in messages of
helpfulness. Following these, Mr..
Taylor, DR.. Finney and Rev. Vermilya
were called to the floor and each in
turn added good thought to the pro-
gram. Several were received into
membership and the initial steps were
taken for some good things for the fu-
ture. And if the spirit which charac-
terized that social meeting, and the
sentiment there expressed, Is carried
from that banqueting hall into every
day life and manifested in the daily
walk, the Methodist Brotherhood of
Valley City will become a potent fac
tor in the social and moral uplift of
the men of this community.
