in a little log house about five miles
east OF Bennington, and would not
allow them to leave. threatening to
kill them If they attempted to go
away. They had been in the neigh
borhood about five days coming 10
that community from Lamar county,
Texas. Saturday one of the women
handed a farmer n note asking that
he notify the officers, and Deputy
Bruce was sent for and after looking
around for a short while filed charges
against Slack.
ut was stated by one of the women
promised to marry her
and that is how she came to be with
him and that since thpy had been to-
gether he had threatened her If she
left him.

Pretty Story This.

That is a pleasing story that
comes to the Mercury of Paris
boy, now in the government service
at Washington and being promoted
rapidly, who is paying for the edu-
cation of his brother, three years
younger. at one of the states big
schools. His mother and father
tried to persuade him that it was
too heavy a responsibility and not
properly his, but he insisted, dc.
claring that they had educated him
and. the expenses being heavy. he
demanded an opportunity to repay
them by educating his brother.
And don't you be after him all
the time about the money he may
spend" he added, Just send his
bills to me-"
Robert is % and il making a sac
rifice that would be undertaken by
few boys of his age. Jerome a
student at Rolla, is 10. and In genu
inc brotherly affection, is living up
to his obligations. Pretty story,
isn't it? Paris Mercury.

To Build CITY Beautiful.

P. B. Moss, a former Paris boy,
is attracting the attention of social
workers throughout the United
States and exciting the interest of
eastern capitalists with his propo-
sition to build a model city near
Billings, Montana. He has plated
5000 acres at the confluence of the
Yellowstone river and Clark's Fork
IL miles from that city, has en-
ployed Walter Burley Griffith, the
Chicago architect who furnished
plans for Australia's model capital
city, and will organize a corpora =
tiop to build systematically and in
order. as one would build house,
the city beautiful. 1t is to be
slumless. with a civic center about
which the city will be built, and
with a system of real estate taxa
ton that will insure home owner
ship to its inhabitants aud prevent
them becoming mere hewers of
wood and drawers of water for
fortunate few. tits to be an indus
trial city with ideal residential Sec
ton and is to be surrounded by in
Vulnerable small farms, capable, it
is estimated. of feeding population
of 50,000 Letchworth, England,
the garden city," was the first city
of this kind built and the ideas
there embodied will be closely ad-
hered to by Mr.. Moss. Montana
railroads converging at Billings are
interesting themselves in the enter
prise and if it succeeds. which now
seems certain, Mr.. Moss will have
achieved most enviable fame. 1t
is well to remark in passing. and
the reflection is an agreeable one
that Paris and Monroe county con-
tinue to give the world men and
women of vision, who use their tai
ent in service. Paris Mercury.

give him many, many years to con-

compensation for your noble work,

SURPRISED SUNDAY
Rev. FIR. T. E Cusack Of the St.
Maurice Parish Given Enjoya-
bic Surprise


was the victim of a most pleasant
surprise. The date. marked a peri
cd closing a score of. we'll earned
years in faithful labor of God.
Twenty years ago-June 20. 1895
in the city of Washington, D. C,
Father Cusack YVES ordained to the
Priesthood for the Alton Diocese.
The first eight years were spent as
secretary to the Right Rev. Bishop
Ryan of Alton, but realizing there
were souls in the Diocese who
might be in need of the kind admo-
nitions and the spiritual advice
Father Cusack was so capable of
administering, the Right Rev. Bish-
OPP appointed HIM pastor of a parish
the first being at Winchester, Ill.
After two years and ten months
there, a larger field was offered him
the one of St. Maurice parish in
MorriSonville.
Half the years of his priesthood
lacking one. have been spent in our
midst. and he has endeared himself
to, not only this congregation, but
the community in general, because
of his broad and liberal mind, and
his readiness at all times to CO.
operate with all that means good
for both town and people.
The material good Father Cusack
has done for the parish is in evil
dence by the many Improvements
he has made on the church proper.
ty-such as placing electric lights
in the church and Sisters residence,
steam heating plant in the same, in
GLIDING the school, and many other
improvements too numerous to
mfntion-the latest being the cree
tipn of the large, modern and beau.
tttul rectOry on the east of the
church.
But the appreciation of this faith.
full and untiring labor, was proven
on Sunday morning, when a sur
prise in the form of purse was
given him, which had been arrang-
ed by the trustees-Messrs. w. F.
Langen and Geo. Sloan.
After the early Mass, Mr.. Langen
by a little ruse. ushered Father
Cusack to the west door of the
church, where the congregation zen
masse" filled the spacious lawn, and
a purse of more than $500, donated
by each and every member of the
sparlsh, was presented, with a most
seloquent speech, by Geo. Sloan. The
speech was as follows:
! Rev. FIR. Cusack: In behalf of
these assembled people. and the en-
tire congregation, wish to remind
you that 20 years ago today you
'were ordained priest of the Catho-
lie church. In that ordination you
assumed life of sacrifice and self
denial. You knew that you would
be singled out as the object of re-
Proach by anarchists and the enc.
hies of the Catholic church and
that your own people would some
times thank you but little for your
noble work. Undaunted, however,
by the prospect of persecution you
unhesitatingly accepted the call of
the Master to follow Him. Your
nets; tutOred mind, clear cut logic,
business acumen, and winning per-
sonality by which you might have
fame, fortune and honor, were laid
aside in the world for that higher
spiritual call which yields in world
ly goods but meaeer living. We
have,but to look around US to see
and find ample evidence of your
predence and untiring zeal. You

their reports on the actions of the

The strikers had planned to march
from Green and Harrison to Division
and Milwaukee and then back
through the loop.
Before the aldermanic committee
which is investigating the garment
workers strike, Sidney Hillman, in
ternational president of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, stated that
John j. Sonsteby, attorney for the
United Garment Workers union, was
present solely for the purpose of rails
ing technical questions to befog the
issue.
In very nice way Hillman told
Sonsteby that he knew very little
about the issues at stake. The at
torney drew a card of the United
Garment Workers from his pocket
and told how he worked in the trade
years ago.
THAT it it - you worked in the
trade years ago." Hillman stated.
1--WE are not here to fight out the diff
ferences between our two organiza-
lions, but to endeavor to come to
an understanding with the employers
associations. Since you have raised
the question would suggest that this
committee call in Pres. John J. Fitz-

of the Chicago Federation of Labor
to state the present status of our or

Chairman Utpatel state he would
have those two gentlemen present at

THAT RACE LAW SUIT.

The civil action on the part of this city to establish through the courts that the Sawyer racing bill is a law will not be decided in a day. The first step in the courts will probably be taken today when a mandamus win be filed to require the secretary of state to publish the act with the other acts. The opposition will have ten days thereafter to file an answer. Then the case will be set for trial, and hearing given in the original court It is probable that an appeal will be taken from whatever finding the lower court makes in the matter, and that then the ease will go to the supreme court
 The people here are naturally i'm patient as to the matter but this is an action that can not be unduly hurried. We are of the opinion that the act will have been finally passed on in the last court before the sum mer vacations, in which event it vii be sufficient to serve the purposes and objects for which all the work was done.

THAT COMING TOGETHER.

The idea of progressive citizens oi Hot Springs in formulating a pro. gram for next Saturday and Sunday in this city over the joining of rex arkana by rail to Hot Springs, and joining Little Rock Via the new aigh- way, is a most laudable undertaking that should have tho full co-opera- ton of the community.
 Everything that can be done to make that day a success should ba done Many excursions can be brought in by the Memphs-Dallas and Gulf railroad. and probably no less than one hundred autos filled with enthusiasts from Little Rock will ba here
 Hot Springs needs sucn events as these to keep things going. Ours is neither a cotton or a wheat crop, neither can we all survlce from each othar. We must bend our energies to bringing people into this city on all occasions.
