Poorly Paid Police.

The Paris police are poorly paid. The
maximum salary attainable by ser
gent de vile" is $500 year In view
of the high cost of living in Paris this
amount is inadequate to maintain a
family in any degree of comfort, and
the married members of the force have
frequently to supplement their income
as best they can. Some of them earn
a few francs by working as market
porters during their time off duty
Others do boot repairing. and there is
one who does odd tailoring jobs. Still
in spite of these hardships, there are
always plenty of men eager to join the
force, about ten candidates being avail
able for every vacancy that occurs.

The blasting of stumps OF piece
Of land in the west end of the city
Saturday night put the lights
out of commission, for time and
gave no end of trouble. A piece of
stump fell upon the high power lines
which bring the Juice" from Ash
land, swapping it off and for time
the lights in Washburn and Ashland
were put out of business. AS soon
as the trouble was located the
"iuice" was switched over unto the
two other lines and the business
district of the city was furnished
with electricity. Owing to the
heavy load on the wires the resi-
dence district could not be supplied
with lights. The trouble was re-
paired by Supt. Downs and crew of
men early Sunday morning.

The Flaa.

On June a. TIT, the Continental
congress resolved that the flag Of the
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white, and that the
Union be thirteen white stars on blue
field. On Jan. Is, 1894. by an act of
congress. the flag was altered to fifteen
red and white stripes and fifteen stars.
On April 4, 1918, congress again alter
ed the flag by returning to the original
thirteen stripes and fifteen stars, as
the adding of new stripe for each
additional state would soon make the
flag too large. A new star Is added to
the flag on July following the admis-
sion of each new state.-New York

OF the United States district court,
sustained the motion for directed
verdict in favor of the defendant this
slAoraing at TO-: 10 in the case of Mary
BAKER Young vs. The United Com
mercial Travellers of America. The ac-
ton was one in which Mrs. Young
was seeking the amount of an insur-
ance. policy held with the company
byille husband, LeX-H III. Young, at
theItime of his death amounting in
all to, sc, 900. The court in sustain
ing the motion emphasized the con-
Stention of the company's counsel
ithatssthe policy holder atsthe time of
I his death was not member in good
stansling, on account of having failed
to,spay an assessment within the
specified time as set out by the con-
stitution and bylaws OF the company.
Ninety days was given counsel for
Mrs. Young to prepare bill of excep-
lions. The case has been a hard
fought one throughout, having been
tried here two years ago this term.
AT that time the jury returned a YER
dict of $3.50 for Mrs. Young, the
original amount with interest. This
verdict was appealed to the circuit

Leon-Lineville Auto Trail Marked.

The work of marking the Leon
Lineville Auto Trail was completed
last week and the finishing touches
put on them when the secretary of
the trail, Frank Chastain, and the
Leon painter, Ross Saunders, drove
over the line in. Chastain's car, meas
uring the distances between points
and putting the figures denoting the
number of miles from each town, the
handsome signs on red cedar posts
having already been placed at the
intersection of all other roads. Rings
were also painted on the telephone
and electric light poles at all corners
and wherever needed to guide the
stranger autoist over the trail, the
trail color being a bright blue. This.
we understand, will be still more dis
tinctly marked by adding rings of red
and. white to the blue making a pleas
ing combination of the national col
ors. AS measured by the speed
ometer on Secretary Chastain's car
the exact distance from the square
at Lineville to Main street in Leon, is

Coroner's Jury Finds Ellie Rex Died
From Natural Causes.

An inquest was held at Clarinda
last Thursday, over the body of Ellie
Rex, the insane patient from q this
county who was found dead in the
insane hospital at Clarinda few
days after he was sent there, there
being several abrasions and bruises
on his head and neck. The evidence
showed that another insane patient
who occupied the cell with Rexwas
found standing by the side of his@bed
with blood on his hands, and it was
presumed that he had attacked Rex,
but the evidence of the hospital
physicians was that Rex had been
dead an hour or more when found,
and they claimed that the other pa
tient had fallen on Rex's body and
thus got blood on his hands. The
coroner's jury returned the follow
ing verdict: 1--WE do find that said
deceased came to his death from ex-
haustion while in state of acute de-
lirium and it is our opinion that the
abrasions upon his neck and face did
not hasten or cause his death. The
body of Mr.. Rex was again brought
here and inferred in the Palestine
graveyard

Concert Tonight.

The first number on the High
School Lecture Course will be put on
at the Opera House on Thursday ev-
ening, Nov. 5th This attraction will
be one of our best.
When you spend one evening with
the Chicago Musical Club you hear a
concert with the noise left out, and
the music put in; q pleasing program
by an organization of soloists, each
an artist; and one in which the ever
present drums of the ladies orches-
tras of the past are for the most part
eliminated.
Mary Lutz heads the company; a
young violinist who has during the
past three years established new
standard for lyceum soloists.
Mr.. Harry Higbee Brooks has tour
ed the country the past four years as
soloist with the best known con-
cert bands, among them being Liber-
atis Band, KryPs Band, and the Kill
ties. Miss Lybarger, the string bass
soloist, draws from that instrument
tone which closely resembles that
of the cello Miss Guthrie the trom-s
bOnist, is rapidly rising to the front
rank of lady trombonists, while Miss
Gernand, the accompanist, has had
concert and lyceum experience before,
giving her services to the Chicago
Musical Club. Miss Mitchell COM
pletes the organization with unusual
ability as a flutist.

Objects to Being Classed Il Republic

Mrs. Minnie s5Woolman, who we
classed as a republican in the list OF
postmasters appointed which we pub
,lishedi last week, objects to being
.classed as a republican, and says she
is a democrat and always has been,
and we don't blame herSas bit for call
ing us down, and if she will accept
lit, we herewith. tender our most
.abject apology. Mrs. .Woolman took
,theYcivil service examination last
May, and passed a good examination.
She has been serving as postmaster
at Woodland for several years, and
made such a good one that no one
would even take the examination and
be a candidate against her. The fact
that she had been serving as postmas-
ter under republican administra-
ton led us into the error Of CHASING
her as a republican. But we know
better now.
