LANDING DAY CELEBRATION.

The 422nd anniversary of the discoV-
ery of America by Columbus was cele-
brated by the Knights OF Columbus at
the Sacred Heart church hall Monday
evening. This is an annual affair and
went of very nicely. Despite the
very unpleasant weather, there being
cold drizzle falling, every cover pre-
pared, over hundred, WAS taken.
After a chicken dinner there was
the usual post -prandial program, music
and talks. Rev. j. Il. OLeary and
Rev. g. Casey of Maple Grove both
Responded with eloquent Columbus
| Day talks. Lawrence Ledvina came
through with his typically smooth
running, witty effort. Harry Kelley
Substituting for the big number, H..
j. Rooney of Plymouth, who was pre-
vented by sickness from attending,
read excerpts from what he claimed
was Mr.. Rooney's manuscript, although
the toastmaster said it was fraud.
John Carey kept the tables in roar
| of laughter for while with some very
clever foolery. Frank Hoffman made
some appropriate impromptu remarks
and DIR. A. NJ. Farrell related some in
|teresting details of his personal eXpe-
riences in getting out OF Europe in
war times.
One of the big features was Puch
Egan's debut as toastmaster. He did
MT need lantern slides to get his quips
over and he quite outdid what was ma
turally expected of him. A lot OF
wholesome fun and impromptu badi-
mage was injected by him.
Miss Monica Conway, Miss Helen
Schreihart and Mrs. a. +. Rank each
rendered vocal selections and respond
ed to encores. They were all good
and Miss Monica Conway's humorous
encore made hit. The event reflects
credit on the ladies who served AMI on
u. a. Miller and Aubray Egan who
staged" the affair.

Colonel Bouck, the Democratic candi-

ceived by our citizens. The Colonel's
well known character for honesty and
ability, and his distinguished services
in behalf of the Union and Constitution
on many battle field of the present
war, preceded his arrival here, and
made his reception more than an or.
binary agreeable one.
After Colonel Bouck's address, Judge
Reed gave the crowd one of his sledge
hammer speeches. bespoke eloquent
ly, and his remarks were listened TO
with pleasure. The Judge was in the
right vein, and the Interruptions made
by one of Abraham's "man-catchers"
present only served to draw out the
judges sarcasm and wit. We will wa
ger that the fellow will not interrupt
the Judge again very soon.
The meeting adjourned in the best
Of feeling with cheers for Gen. Nc

Wisconsin is an interesting state.
From the standpoint of the advertiser,
the important feature of Wisconsin is
that it is only about one-half develop
ed The idea is this: No other state
in the Union SO close to the center of
things has as much good, inexpensive,
undeveloped land as has Wisconsin.
That portion Of the state which has
been developed is very productive and
the class of farmers who have settled
the state are decidedly above the aver
age
According to the idea of many the
advertiser who first anchors his goods
in growing state not only secures the
present advantage Of trade, but, at The
same time, he obtains the additional
advantage which the growth Of the
state is sure to bring to him. The
larger percentage of Wisconsin farm

WHY DO you SAY "RoLAND FOR
AN OLlVER?"

1t was draw when Roland and his
friend Oliver engaged in combat on
the little island in the Rhine many
hundred years ago.
These two generals in Charlie
magne's army were giants of
strength, and to determine which of
the two was the better man they de-
cided to fight it out. The combat
lasted five successive days. For ev-
cry blow received by Roland, an
equally heavy blow was landed on
Oliver. There was no decision,
though the whole army acted as ref
erees but ever since then to say
Roland for an Oliver is equivalent to
saying a blow for blow, or an equal
contest.

sULzER PROPOSES INVESTIGATION
Wants State Departments Looked Into
Other Investigations Proposed.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 20.-FouT resolu-
tions calling for Investigations were of
fered in the Assembly last night. Three
of these, having in view general inyes-
LEGATIONS, were offered respectively by
Republican Leader Hinman, Progressive
Leader Schaap and Assemblyman Sulzer
The fourth has in view merely the look
ing into campaign contributions and was
offered by Assemblyman Murray.
The Hinman resolution recites that
since the abolition of the original BIZ
partisan highway commission, which
originated under the administration OF
Governor Hughes, the expenditure of a
large portion of the $50000,000 author
lied by the constitution to be expended
on road construction has been marked
by all manner of extravaganza, waste
and corruption.
Wherefore he seeks TO have appointed
the joint committee of three senators
and five assemblymen to investigate this
department, allowing $4,000 for ex-
penses.
The inquiry sought by former Gov
ernor Sulzer is purposed to comprehend
all state departments and look into cam
paign contributions through commit
tee of seven of the Assembly. No ap-
is specified.
Mr.. Schaap's resolution also calls for
seven assemblymen without mentioning
an appropriation. 1t seeks to place the
under the supervision of
John A. Hennessy, who was Governor
Suffers special investigating commits
sioner.

MEXICANS MUCH PLEASED.
Over United States Treatment of the
Refugees.

! Washington, ID. c., Jan. 20.-The kind
| lly treatment accorded the Mexican fed
eral refugees from Ojinaga by the Ameri.
can government has excited deep graft
Itude among the people OF Monterey and
VICINITY, and has done much to encour.
lage the belief that the United States is
really friendly to the Mexican people,
according to a report to the state de-
partment yesterday from Consul Hanna.
Care of the unlimited guests is proving
costly, and yesterday the officials of the
state and war departments were casting
about for means to defray the expense
Of maintaining these thousands of
strangers. Even before the evacuation
Iof 0iinaga, the United States govern
ment had expended about $l50,000 for
the keep of Mexicans under detention
and with the 0iinaga fugitives added the
daily bill will amount to some $500.
For time the Huerta government
regularly remitted the money to pay
for feeding the refugees interned at Fort
Rosecrans and Brownsville, but the pay
ments stopped some time ago because
of the exhausted condition OF the Mexi-
can treasury. Ultimately Mexico viii be
expected to reimburse the United States
in full for all amounts spent in this way.
Yesterdays reports to the state de-
partment said that the appearance OF
many eonstitutionalists in the neighbor-
hood of Torreon has led the American
consular office at that place to appre.
hend an early siege at the hands of
Villas victorious army. This win be the
third time that this town has been at
tackled in the present revolution.

WILL PAY ALIMoNY.
So Arthur Parizo Gets Out of chittenden
County Jail.

Burlington, JAN 90 Arthur Parizo of
Winooski has just obtained his liberty
after several weeks confinement in
Chittenden county Jail where he was
placed on charge of contempt of court,
it being alleged lie did not pay his
wife the alimony she was entitled to
when she received her divorce few
terms of court since. The order was that
she was to be paid SO per week until
further notice. Not long afterward
Parizo disappeared and neither he nor
the alimony was in evidence for long
time. Early in November, however, he
returned to Winooski and was immedi-
ately arrested by Sheriff Allen on writ
charging contempt The amount of ali
mony in arrears was S2le,75, and the
condition of arrest was that Parizo was
TO stay in Jail until he paid it, which
was not at all agreeable to the young
man who didn't have any cash.
His father. however, has come to his
rescue and an arrangement has been
made by which Parizo may settle up his
back alimony. He must pay, 800 down
and $4 week until he has wiped out the
debt and then pay the So week the
court originally ordered.
