Moore Makes Attack

Representative ]. Hampton Moore,
of Pennsylvania, in a speech in the
House, yesterday attacked the Under
wood tariff bill, declaring that its op-
Grafton had not reduced the cost of
living, but on the contrary had result
ed in laying a heavier burden upon
the workingmen of the country by
throwing thousands of them out of
employment.
In a running fire of questions and
answers Mr.. Moore charged that the
new tariff law up to date had merely
placed the duties taken down by the
Democratic party in the pockets of
the importers and foreign manufac-
turers.
Mr.. Moore cited the hosiery business
in particular. declaring it to be one of
those marked for the fiercest foreign

MARRIAGE AN NULLED,

Last year Adolph Behnke young
farmer near Collins married Freida
Zahn, Reedsville girl of 20 after a
very short courtship. A week later the
wife gave him dose of paris green in
his coffee although their relations had
been very pleasant The poison almost
killed Behnke. The wife could give
no reason for the act ana was soon COM
mtted to the Northern Hospital near
Oshkosh. Behnke sutd to annul the
marriage. 1t was necessary that he
prove that she was insane at the time
Of the marriage. 1t was admitted by
all concerned that she was insane a
week later when she fed the potato bug
delicacy to her t,sbsnd. on Srgges-
ton of the circuit court the young wife
was brought into court last Saturday
in charge of a woman attendant from
the hospital. She testified herself at
great length and it WAS apparent to
all present that she is not now mental
ly normal. Tuesday Judge kirwan
filed decision holding that the mar
yiage must be annulled on The ground
that the girl was not competent to en-
ter into the marriage contract at the
time of the ceremony, which incapaci-
ty was unknown to Behnke. The de-
cision frees the husband as if there
had been no marriage.

COUNTY + AIR

Teachers are advised to bring their
County Fair work along with them at
the time of the Institute. They may
leave 1t at the office. There will be
invidual entries this year instead of
entries by schools AS in the past. The
premium books have been sent out.
Note the long and liberal list of entries
for the School Department. Just list
your entries on the blank in the begin
ming of the premium book and the
superintendent will do the rest. 1t
will be necessary that the teachers
attend to the entries as the pupils will
probably not give it their attention.
The Graded schools are especially adj
vised to bring to the fair, some of the
things they made last year. We must
show the people that the new line of in
dustrial work Is worth while AS far
as possible the superintendent listed
practically all the things made by the
various schools last year. Help make
the school department worthy one.
The best exhibits will he boxed and
sent to the State Fair.

Omnlvorous Readers.

This expression. cleaned from a recent
biography OF Cecil Rhodes. Is recon-
mended to the serious rehectica OF
those who scout the habit of reading
as an enervating practise. certain to
unfit a man for success In practical
pursuits. This notion that only inef-
tect1al bookworms and recluses read
many books is one of the greatest fal-
lacies ever. The truth Is the majority
Of men Of great achievement In every
walk Of life have been, like Cecil
Rhodes, 'omnivorous readers" Glad

quently referred to as the three great

tury. The three Of them were tireless
students. Tolstoy knew several ntera-
lures. Gladstone read books on every
possible occasion the year around.
Lincoln was an Unsuitable reader.

SCHOOL !AHGIE STRAIGHTENED.

Robert H. MIMI, for thirteen years
principal of the Division street school
signeda contract in May for the coming
school year. A week or two ago he
handed in his resignation and the
Board of Education accepted it. The
people of his district demanded that he
be re-engaged. The school board met
the committee of the district at a pub
lie meeting at the city hall last Satur-
day evening. Mayor Stole, upon re-
quest, presided. The school board eX-
planned its reasons for wanting to let
Mr.. MIMI go. They said in substance
that although his school discipline and
school work are excellent, he himself
is temperamentally unable to get along
with the rest of the school officers and
is never in harmony with the city
school system. They cited the unani-
nous opinion of the children of the
school that judges in various contests
had Cheated" their school. Mr.. Nimz
spoke at great length in his own be-
half. The board then rendered the
position back to Mr.. Nimz, all that
the protesters were asking for, but
Mr.. MINI would not at once decide.
He was given until 10 O'Clock A. NJ.
Monday, to decide whether or not he
would accept. Up to this morning he
has sent no word to the board. 1t is
reported that he has accepted school
to West Allis.
Mr.. MINI is well liked by all the
children and has the confidence OF the
parents but has not fitted in well with
his superiors since the city took oven
the district five years ago.
