Miss Fulton was a chorus girl who had
one dance with William Rock. a well
known dancer. The newspaper men ou.

one night the pathetic story Of Miss
Fulton, almost penniless, whose mother
was III In a hospital. Night after night
the girl hurried to the hospital after
her work was done.
The newspaper men took up a collec-
ton, which Miss Fulton would not ac-

for a salary that made II impossible for
her to accept charity. So the newspaper
men. after learning that the salary was
s22 a week, determined to force the
management TO raise the salary. Then
began the most persistent and concerted
scheme of publicity ever attempted nv
a devoted band Of newspaper men. Each
man tried to print a story every day IN

of them succeeded, and so much was
published concerning the young woman
that the management began to put her

was as the outside man Of a hand laun-

worked for a laundry then located on

MADISON A DRY TOWN
THAT Is THE PRESENT CONDI-
TION OF MADISON AND
LAKE COUNTY.

Madison saloons closed at 9 o'clock
last evening to remain closed until
such time as they may receive relief
from the courts. The rejection of
bonds of saloonmen for the ensuing
year by the county commissioners
yesterday was the cause of the sa-
looms not opening for business this
morning. 1t is understood that a del
egation of those interested in the sa-
loon business went to Sioux Falls
last night to consult attorneys and
perhaps take the case before Judge
Jones at once in the matter of secur-
ing the customary relief in such
cases. The saloonmen have been
through the same experience before,
the commissioners having rejected
their bonds about the first of May,
when they moved to open saloons un-
der a supreme court decision in their
favor on the contested election of
1913. In that case Judge Jones is
sued a writ requiring the board to
appear before him in chambers in
Sioux Falls May 10, in regard to the
matter. However, Immediately upon
the being served on the
board, Chairman Simmons changed
his vote and the bonds were approx
ed. The saloons have since been do
ing business under the 1913 election,
and the bonds rejected yesterday
were for the ensuing year, under the
1914 election. 1t is likely the same
court proceedings will be had in this
case as in the previous case so far as
Judge Jones is concerned. But it is
considered doubtful by attorneys
whether he will attempt to compel
the board to approve the bonds,
Andrew Hagley of Rutland was be-
fore the board yesterday with a bond
for the opening of a saloon, but ii
was turned down OF account of an
irregularity in its execution. The
commissioners agreed with Mr.. Hag-
ley to meet tomorrow afternoon to
consider the bond, after its correc-
ton, Mr.. Hagley TO pay the commits.

HER BABY
An Incident of the Recent Big storm
at Webster.

Webster, July Less than a mile
residence and farm buildings of Mr..
Albert Dorm. Mr.. Dorm was not home
when the storm struck Webster, but
he could not have been more heroic
in defending his children against the
wilds of the terrific storm than his
brave wife, Mrs. Dorm, with her g.
year-Old daughter and young baby,
was in the house with the hired man,
a hired girl and a visiting young
friend, Miss Madeline McKennet. As
the storm grew into dangerous pro-
portions all of the inmates of the
Dorm home seemed to think of the
care of the baby at the same time.
But Mrs. Dorm would not let it out
of her care, and when the shock was
over she was found on the floor, on
her knees with her body over the
child and braced with arched back
seemingly with determination to
stave off Gibraltar from crushing her
and thus reaching the baby which
was safely snuggled under the body
of its mother. The house had been
whirled fifty feet from its foundation
stopping when it came in contact
with a large rock. There was no es-
cape from the house but through the
window. No one was hurt.
All the outbuildings were razed to
the ground. A horse was pinned
down solid under the barn, and yet
not killed.

Bankers association at it's convention
- ID $4,000 " L. nn4nhnr

Bankers association at its convention
in Richmond, Va, in October.
IL is suggested by Mr.. Hall that
not more than three sizes be adopted
for the various sorts of paper used in
the banks, and that every bank in
the country conform with these sizes.
One large size should be used for all
drafts, certificates of deposit and
notes, a smaller for counter checks
and a still smaller n for pocket
checks. One of these sizes may be
eliminated by making the counter
checks the same size as the drafts.
Uniformity in checks would mean
greater speed in the transaction OF
business in the banks and would
guard against the loss of checks and
other papers, bankers say. Another
advantage pointed out is that econ.
| omy could be effected through adop'
| ton of standard forms.
The federal reserve board, 1t Ii
| stated by bankers here, will require
| member banks of the system to adop
| a uniform size draft, and possibly on'
| of uniform color. This Requirement
is giving impetus to the movement.
To insure uniform sizes in ever
| state the Iowa state secretary is send
| ing letters to members of the organ
| ~ization of Secretaries of State Bank
| ers' associations. 1t is believed here
| that uniform sizes will be adopted a
| the coming convention.
