THE WOMAN'S CIVIC CLUB

The Woman's Civic Club held it's
regular meeting in the High School on
Saturday, October 16. Most of the time
was spent in listening to Mrs. James
Brewers very entertaining report of
the meeting of the State Federation of
Woman's Clubs at La Crosse. Mrs.
Brewer gave very detailed account of
the meeting, with extracts from the
various speeches, and her remarks were
received with much interest and pleas
ure Much credit is due Mrs. Brewer
for her keen observation for the benefit
of the club
The president called on Mrs. Lanyon
of Pittsburg, who very kindly made a
few we'll chosen remarks, telling of the
club work done in her city.
The club decided to have their meet
ings once a month, the second Saturday
instead of the second and fourth Satur
days as heretofore. The next meeting
will be held in the High School Nov.
l3. A large attendance is desired.

TABLET FOR INDIAN
FRIEND OF WHITES
Seattle Professor Seeks to
Honor Chief Pat Kaninl,

Seattle, WaSh.-PrOfeSSOr Edward S.
Meany of the University of Washing
ton is arousing public interest in the
memory of old Chief Pat Kanim Of the
Snoqualmie and Snohomish Indians.
Chief Pat a stanch friend of the early
whites, is one of the forgotten heroes
Of pioneer days, and Professor Meany
wants bis grave marked with suit
able monument.
In the days when settlers had reason
to fear the lurking red foes in the deep
forests Chief Pat Kanim's people were
powerful where Everett now stands.
It is not known just when the chief
died, but he was buried on a bank of
the SnOhomish river.
When the grave was threatened by
the overfowing river relatives moved
the remains to the little cemetery On
the Tulalip Indian reservation, where
many of the tribes he ruled in power
now live in humble homes.
Bancroft's "History Of Washington"
tells of the chiefs craftiness in driving
Glasgow and RabbesOn from the first
settlement on Wn1dDy Island IN 1913.
He made a great drive with dogs and
secured sixty deer for a feast Of assem-
bled warriors. He counseled in favor
of driving the white men out of the
country.
Glasgow and Rabbeson went back to
TumWater, and the next year Pat Ka-
MIN led an assault on Fort Nisqually.
While Pat Kanim was parleying inside
the stockade his brother was killed
leading an attack by the Indians. Pat
Kanim was spared, and in 1850 he
made trip to San Francisco in a sail
ing vessel. What he saw on that jour
ney made him resolve to become a
friend of the white man. He faithfully
lived up to that resolution for the rest
of his life.

MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL

We can hardly realize that the events
of almost two entire months of the 1915
school year must be spoken of in the
past tense, although both teachers and
pupils can at least partially do so by sum
ming up the considerable amount Of
work which has been accomplished dur
ing this time. Both the faculty and the
students in general have entered into
the spirit of the work this year with
wonderful enthusiasm. The students
realize the value of a good education
and are doing their best to attend regu-
larly.
The work in English is progressing
we'll. The class in English Literature
has begun the study of Hamlet" and
the Junior English class has taken up
"Idylls of the King this week, with
Miss Moore as instructor.
Mr.. Gotham is teaching the Seniors
the fundamentals of Physics in such an
interesting manner that the students
are really learning to like this difficult
subject Mr.. Deneen says his Chemis-
try class will enjoy the "Blue Books
Friday while displaying their "vast'
knowledge of this subject
Domestic Science class is dealing in
"doughs and batters" now with Miss
Weidenfeller as chief cook.
Last Friday morning school exercises
opened with the High School Song"
after which profitable talk was de-
livered by Mr.. Antonides on School
a more democratic and loyal attitude
toward school work. 1t was enjoyed
by all the students.
Various societies have been formed
for promotion of both mental and
physical activities. The organization
fever seems to be quite general.
Among the Sophmores, the boys de-
batting club will endeavor to develop
the powers of logical augmentation,
and the Girls Literary club will cult
vate a love of the beautiful in literature
under the direction of Miss Ruede-
busch. The "dear little" Freshmen
also organized Literary Society.
They wish to meet every evening since
they are so interested. The girls as
we'll as the boys have an Athletic asso-
citation, the members of which under
the direction Of Miss Wiegand will en-
gage in basket ball. Our two High
School Orchestras,' directed by Miss
Deal and Mr.. Harker, are very enthu
siastic over their work.
The answers to some of the quiz
questions are most "brilliant' as we
may readily see from the following
answers: 1.-The Niebelinger Lied is a
German banquet" and "In the New
Stone Age, the implements were
shined,' and The Fall of Rome was
accomplished in the dark"
Accidents will happen in the best of
regulated families as the proverb
says. so Roger Davies has tried to
prove it for us. He was severely in
jured at football practice but is now
much improved. EVA SCHMIT.

DIVORCES WITHOUT JUDGE?
Lawyers, Apparently, May Grant One
In California.

Lawyers, Apparently, May Grant One
In California.
Los Angeles.-Judges and lawyers
learned with surprise that through an
amended provision of the state consti-
tuition apparently any qualified attor
ney may grant a decree of divorce.
This became known by the recent
granting of three DEGREES in Santa
Rosa by attorneys sitting as judges pro
tempore after having been selected to
try the actions Of the itigants them
selves without the sanction of the
court. The modified amendment reads:
ga case in the superior court may be
tried by judge pro tempore, who must
be member Of the bar, agreed upon
in writing by the parties litigant or
their attorneys of record and sworn to
try the cause, and the person SO select
ed shall be empowered to act in such
capacity in all further proceedings in
any suit or proceedings tried before
him until the final determination there
off,
The clause approved by the court"
has been omitted from the act

with Williamson Corps at Dodgeville

BOY HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Lester Eddington Misses Death by a
Narrow Margin.

Lester Eddington Misses Death by a
Narrow Margin.
It seemed almost miracle that little
Lester Eddington was not killed, when
he was knocked down and run over by
heavy automobile on High street last
Saturday afternoon. A number of peo-
pie who saw the mishap thought for
time that he was actually killed This
is the way the accident happened: 1t
was about five o'clock and many cars
were coming up High street and many
more were leaving the Star garage. In
front or near the garage a number of
boys, in spirit of reckless bravado,
were running in front of the moving
cars, and then lodging away again
Ernest G. Fielder noticed the boys and
their dangerous sport and warned them
to desist. In fact, he drove them away.
Some of the boys went further up the
street, and continued their misdoings,
with the result that Lester Eddington
was struck by car and knocked to the
ground. Charles Singer of Linden, who
was driving the car, could not avoid the
accident and the front axle passed over
the boy. One wheel just grazed the boys
cap; but before Mr.. Fielder, who started
to his assistance, could reach him, the
boy crawled out from under the car and
ran to the sidewalk saying, "It didn't
hurt me Bit 1t was very narrow
escape, however, and it should be a
warning TO other boys against fooling
with the cars.

ENTE RED INTO REST
Mrs. Catherine j. PriestIey.

The following notice of the death of
Mrs. Catherine j. Priestley was con-
tributed to The Madison Democrat by
our former townsman William H.
Bennett:
Retiring in apparently perfect health
at 10 o'clock Tuesday evening, Mrs.
Catherine j. Priestley, 2I West Gilman
street, was stricken about midnight
with apoplexy and, despite prompt
medical attendance her gentle spirit
departed about 1 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
Deceased was one of the oldest ma
tives of Wisconsin; born at Mineral
Point October 10, 1888. There was her
her three children to Madison and re-
sided here continuously thereafter. In
1866 she was married to Captain
Thomas Priestley, formerly an officer
in the 30th Wisconsin Infantry, who
died at Mineral Point in 1890.
Three children survive her: Miss
Mary w. Priestley, an employe in the
adjutant generals office, a rarely de-
voted daughter, who had been con-
stant companion, comfort and support
to her mother throughout life; and two
sons, Harry w. and 7. M. Priestley,
the former a business man of Galena,
ILL.,, and the latter city attorney and
active in general law practice at
Mineral Point. All were at the loved
mothers bedside when the angels, with
whom she was fully fit and worthy to
go, called for her.
There were funeral services at the
home in Madison Thursday afternoon,
and on Friday the body of Mrs.
Priestley was brought to Mineral Point
and laid to rest beside her husband in
Graceland,
Although it is nearly twenty five
years since Mrs. Priestley removed with
her family to Madison, she has always
been regarded as of this community.
She was true Christian woman, with
true home graces and fine public
spirit. Her memory will long be hon.
ored and kindly remembered here.
The hearts of our people go out to her
family in their bereavement,

be devoted to cutting and burning
worthless or Seeding apple trees and
wild cherry trees and brush. If this
is done along the rOadWayS and fences
the appearance of the region will be
greatly improved.
Care should be taken to protect pine
and other coniferous trees. and hickory
and ash should not be cut. They are
not favored for food either by the cat
erpillars Of the gypsy moth or by those
of the brown tail moth.
A general cleanup such as has been
mentioned will greatly assist in con-
trolling this insect. The oak is favor
ed food Of the brown tail moth and Of
the gypsy moth and wherever it is pos
sible to eliminate oaks less annoyance
from these pests will be experienced.
In cutting wood in the winter for
purposes of fuel the farmer would do
we'll to select and cut trees which are
favored as food by these insects. In
this way he will not only secure the
fuel which he desires, but will at the
same time decrease the food supply of
the pests mentioned
It is needless to say that in cutting
wood for fuel all sickly or diseased
trees should be selected, so that the
stand that remains will be healthy and
vigorous Each owner must make the
selection for himself. but great deal
can be accomplished by planning the
work a little in advance so that the
necessary amounts Of fuel can be OBJ
tanned. the preferred food plants Of
these insects reduced in number and
the condition of the wood lot improved
The gypsy moth occurs in the egg
stage during the winter. and much val
liable work can be done in bringing
about its control by treating the egg
masses with creosote applied with a
brush. This destroys the eggs so that
the next brood of caterpillars is re-
duced.
For the information Of residents OF
the district infested by the gypsy moth
and the brown tail moth it should be
said that this area has been placed un-
der quarantine by the federal horticul-
tural board Nursery stock and living
plants cannot be shipped outside the
area unless the trees or plants have
been examined by an authorized in
spector.

Agriculture Department Helps
to Check Pests Spread.
SEEKS TO REDUCE DAMAGE.
Entomoiogists Outline Plan For Infest-

Can Be Done In Doing Away With
the Insects and Preventing Further
Damage Next Year.

Washington. - The department OF
agriculture is making a special effort
this fall to prevent the spread Of gypsy
and brown tail moths. 1t is the pur-
pose of the government experts to put
into operation some effective means of
reducing further damage to orchards
and forests by these pests.
In the areas infested by these pests
much effective work can be done to
reduce the damage that these insects
are likely to cause the following year,
according to entomologists of the de-
partment.
The caterpillars of the brown tail
moth spin webs in the fall which
remain on the tips Of the twigs and
branches during the winter. These
webs should be cut and burned so that
injury will not be caused by the cater
pillars the following summer. Par
ticular attention should be given to
webs of this insect on trees which
grow round dwellings or in orchards.
The apple. pear, cherry, oak and will
low are among the trees which are
favored as food by the brown tail
moth caterpilars. In order to mini
mize the damage which is likely to
result as much time as possible should
