SPEAKS TO CHURCH CLUB.
Judge G. E. Randall Speaks Before
Members of Park Ave. Church Club.

Judge Clifford E. Randall addressed
the Young Women s Bible Glass at the
Park Ave. Methodist churcn yesterday
morning upon the subject, ssSome of
the Essential Qualifications of Woman
hood. = The auditors were a company
of forty young ladies, who are employ
ed in various lines of work and the
remarks of the speaker were applicable
particularly to the life of a business
woman. The judge dwelt upon the
three-fold qualifications which enter m
to the equipment of young woman
for her place in the world of toll, the
physical, mental and spiritual emphas-
izing particularly the intellectual and
the spiritual as prime necessities to the
fullest success. The speaker urged the
Importance of the insistance of each
individual upon her own personality, to
think and to act for herself, instead of
being simply an automation without
personal initiative. To this end the de-
velopment of a vital Christian culture
is of greatest Importance. The Park
Ave. school had record attendance
yesterday, in spite of the snow storm
which prevailed. There were 554 pupils
in all departments.

CHARGE ZION MAN WITH THEFT.
Pays Fine of So and Costs for Taking
Cigars from Drug Store.


That Zion City man should be ac-
cused of theft is one thing, but that
the aforesaid man FROM the city cf
brotherly love 10 which all users of
the weed have long been known as
stink pots should pilfer two boxes
of cigars seems to be almost beyond
the place of possibility, but Charles
Furman, who admitted that he was a
resident of Zion City, was arraigned
before Judge Randall in the munich
pal court this morning charged with
stealing two boxes Of cigars from the
Hurd Drug Store on Saturday evening.
Furman pleaded guilty but appended
an explanation. He declared that
his son was very fond of whiting and
that he had been accustomed to get
empty cigar boxes at the Hurd store
and the father went in on Saturday
night and picked up the two boxes and
later found them filed with cigars.
He was arrested at the Chicago and
Milwaukee. station. He paid fine Of
FIVE dollars and costs.

PHYSICIAN WILL GET HIS FEES
Court Holds That County Board Has no
Right to Arbitrarily Reduce Claims
Against the County and That Action
Is Subject to Review in Court.

Judge E. B. Belden In the circuit
court this morning handed down IN i'm
portant decision fixing the rights Of
the county board in regard to the al
lowance and disallowance of accounts.
The decision was rendered in the suit
brought by DR.. George E. Thompson
against Kenosha county. The amount
at issue in the case was just ten dollars.
DR.. Thompson had been called by the
county coroner to have part in a post
norton examination. He acted in the
capacity of an examining physician and
filed with the county a bill of SIS for
his services in the case. When the bill
was sent to the committee Of the
county board the committee cut the
bill to five dollars and directed that an
order be issued to the doctor in this
amount. Thompson promptly brought
suit against the county to collect the
full amount Of the bill In his com
plant he alleged that the bill had
been reduced by the board without
warrant. The county in its answer
pleaded that the action of the county
hoard in adjusting the account was
final, but later the district attorney,
appearing for the county board, ad-
mitted that recent decision Of the
supreme court had rendered this pos
ition untenable.
In his decision Judge Belden held
that DR.. Thompson was entitled to re-
cover the full amount of the BILL He
held that county board had no more
right to reduce bill for services than
any private individual and that when
a claim is properly fled and attested
by the claimant that the board can not
arbitrarily reduce it. He held that the
action of the county board in the al
lowance Of bills was subject to review
by the circuit court and that under
this ruling he would hold that the
charge made by the physician was rea-
sonable and that he have judgment
against the county for the full amount.
For years it has been the practice of
the members of the county board
to take arbitrary action against claim
ants. The claims have many times
been pared to meet what the board
members considered reasonable
charge for service, and this is the first
time that a case has been taken into
court. Under the ruling of the court
it is probable that in the future the
claimants will be forced to bring suit
against the county to collect such bills
as the members of the board may deem
unreasonable. It is thought that the
court action will, however, result in
the board making very close investi-
cations before refusing to allow any
just account.

NO JOINT CITY CHAUTAUQUA.
Plan to Secure Grounds Midway Be-
tween Racine and Kenosha Abandoned.

There is not going to be any Racine
and Kenosha joint Chautauqua assem-
bly, this year as the plan to secure
grounds midway between the two cities
has been abandoned by the Racine pro-
motors and it is announced that Racine
will have a Chautauqua Of its own as
in former years. The officers of the
Racine association are now dickering
for the use of the grounds about Ra-
cine college for this purpose. It is
said that Kenosha people did not show
any great interest in the proposed plan
to hold the assembly midway between
Racine and Kenosha and that for this
reason the project was dropped. It is
possible that later in the season the
Kenosha people viii seek to organize
an association of their own.
