Stricken by Paralysis Man Alone Six
teen Hours Before Help Comes.

Bryant, June 18.-Lying helpless
in a field for a period of sixteen
hours after being stricken with paral-
ysis before being found, was the dis
tressing experience of Andrew Hor-
sted, a pioneer farmer of this vicin-
ity, who died some time later. lie
vas 55 years of age and had resided
in the Bryant territory since the
early days. He had lived alone on
his farm for years. He was operat-
ing a eultivator when he suffered the
stroke of paralysis. He fell from the
eultivator to the ground, where he
lay the remainder of the day and all
night before being found by neigh
bors. His team had gone to the barn
and after standing outside for hours
they were noticed by the neighbors,
who instituted a search for Horsted.
He attracted the attention of the
searchers by raising himself a little
from the ground and feebly waving
his hands.

Sentenced TO Training School.

Lead. June 1S.-Pedar Mostovich

result of an attempt to assault Coun-
ty Judge Hodgson when the latter
passed an order that the 8-year-old
son of Mostovich be placed in the
state training school at ~Plankinton

The boy has been stealing property
around the city for several weeks,
and when the matter was brought to
the attention of the parents by the
authorities the father and mother
both admitted that they could not
control the lads wayward habits and
the matter was then taken up with
the county court and the order fol-
lowed.
Both the father and mother Great
ed a scene in the judges chambers
when the Plankinton order was an
nounced, and the father attempted to
beat up the court, resulting in the
Judge ordering the sheriff to take
charge of the father.
Attorney James Fowler has been
retained by the father to secure a
writ of habeas corpus to prevent the
decree of the county court being car
ried out with reference to the boy
and a hearing on this will be held
this week before Judge James Me
Nenny.

THE BEST TOWN
:. Il. LEEN AND HENRY HOLIE
GIVE MADISON ALL THE
BEST OF 1T.

S. X. Leen, who recently retired
from the motion picture business i'm
Madison, returned this morning from
a two weeks tour Of Iowa. Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, looking for a To-
cation to reengage in the same line
of business. While there were many
opportunities offered, Mr.. Leen did
not find a proposition to his satisfac-
ton. Reviewing his trip covering
several thousand miles, MIR. Leen re-
marked: Il did not find any town of
the size or double the size that was
anywhere near as good as Madison"
Here Henry Hole, who travels
throughout North and South Dakota
and Montana as a salesman inter
rupted Mr.. Leen with the remark,
That's so; in all of my field Of
travel | do not find a town equal in
business and general prosperity to
Madison. Why, the people of Madison
do not know what they've got until
they visit other towns and find less
favorable business conditions" And
so the conversation proceeded, Madi-
son getting the best of it i'm every
business suggestion that was raised
in comparison to other towns visited
and conditions observed by Mr.. Leen
and Mr.. HOLE in their travels.
Come to think of it, Madison is
considerable of a hummer of a town
and here are a few of the credentials
for it: A 100000 high school build
ing in course of construction; excava-
tons being made on Egan avenue
for two new solid business blocks;
twenty-five residences in process of
construction in different portions of
the city; plans practically complete
for installing an auto telephone sys-
tenn; plans in progress for installing
twenty-seven single electric light
posts in Egan avenue, making a
white way; with the close of the
State Normal and city schools, a sue
cessful summer school now in prog
ress at the Normal buildings; twenty
fifth annual assembly or the Lake
Madison Chautauqua association to
open at Lake Madison Saturday, June
26; druggists annual state conven-
ton to be held at Lake Madison in
August: Lakes Herman and Madison
the finest summer resorts i'm the state
and the fishing is fine.
So we might go on and enumerate
by the column the business prosper
ity and the natural resources of Mad.
ison, and we are prepared to believe
that when Mr.. Leen and Mr.. HOLE
say that Madison is the best town
of its size or double its size to bt
found anywhere in a section com
prising several thousand miles, thel
are giving it to us straight.

WORKHOUSE TO have
ADDITIONAL FARM Land

At the solicitation Of the Trustees of
the New Castle County Workhouse, the
New Castle county Levy Court yester-
day afternoon approved the draft of a
bill to be presented to the Legislature
giving the trustees the power to pur-
chase additional farm land with 500
acres as the limit.
j. Frank Ball, r. Allen Hiles, Daniel
.C. Corbit. Horace L. Dilworth and Chief
Warden Crawford represented the
workhouse. The bill gives the trustees
the power TO purchase, execute a mort
gage, pay interest and mortgage from
excess earnings of the institution
Mr.. Smith favored the bill but OBJ
iected to a general law giving the trus-
tees such power.
Mr. Purks favored the law and a reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Burris approving
the bin and limiting the acreage To SOC
was adopted. The price to be paid for
such farm was left TO the discretion
of the trustees. Ono farm has been con
sidcrcd with proper acreage, but Mr.
Ball said that the price was such that

purpose and could be secured at rea

These questions arise many times
in the life of every individual and
the answers to them may at some
time be Of the utmost Importance.
For example. legal evidence OF the
time of birth is often required to
convince the school authorities that
one is beyond the age Of compulsory
education. and to convince employers
and factory inspectors of working age
under tho Factory Acts.
To those inclined to athletics, t
becomes necessary to prove age in
order to participate in junior events.
Tho right TO vote depends upon evil
dence Of age as does often tho right
To marry Innumesable litigations
turn upon evidence of legal majority
and the disposition of legacies FIRE
quently depends upon evidence OF
aCc and pdrentagc. In questions OF
insurance and pensions also the proof
of age is of great importance.
Birth Registration Provides the Eli-
dence.
IN any of these cases the produc-
ticn of an official birth certificate
would settle the question at once.
Public Schools.
Practically all states have laws
specifying the minimum age at which
the children arc admitted to schools.
Such laws are based upon the ac-
cepted doctrine that children musi
lave some degree of mental and ply
sical development before they are
capable OF instruction. The only

said to be due TO the irresponsible
action of two children. employed

Age Of Consent
The laws of the various states draw
sharp distinction between crimes
against young girls and Illicit rela-
tionship with those who have reached
the "age Of consent Many criminal
cases rest upon the exact age Of the
injured girl. The assaulted are most
often poor. ignorant and unprotected
