was the 25th wedding anniversary OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Macke of South
Lancaster, which was celebrated last
Friday evening at the farm home.
About sixty-two neighbors, friends
and relatives assembled to extend
congratulations to the happy couple,
who with the guests enjoyed the oc-
casion to the fullest extent At six
O'Clock the assemblage gathered at
the long tables which were heaped
with the good things farm dinner
abounds in. The walters We'd in see
ing that no went hungry and the
guests in showing their appreciation
of the repast.
T. ]. Haley had learned of the affair
and sent bouquet of pink carnations
along with his congratulations to Mr..
and Mrs. Macke. The evening wore on
amid good cheer and ended with the
hearty wishes of all present for an
equally happy golden wedding twenty
five years hence.
Those unable to be present and
sending regrets were: Mr.. and Mrs.

John NOvatni of North Lancaster, Ex-
amined Tuesday and Found Insane.

John NOvatni, young man aged ~,
was examined as to his sanity Monday,
by Drs. Doolittle and Gault, who pro-
nounced him to be insane. Mr.. NOvat-
nj asked for a jury trial which was
granted and yesterday morning six
iurymen heard the evidence and con-
firmed the physicians opinion. Novat-
nj came in voluntarily Monday after
noon to District Attorney H. E. Car
thew, stating that he was being both
cred by different people in the neigh
borhood. After talking with the young
man, Mr.. Carthew became convinced
of his deranged condition and placed
him in the custody of Sheriff He'll,
pending the examination.
Mr. Novatni is single and has
mother and sister living at Platteville.
He believes he is being tOrmented and
prosecuted by neighbors in the neigh
bOrhOOd of the Frank Marshall farm
north of town which he has been rent
ing for the past year or so. Accord
ing to the unfortunate man, the
neighbors have small machines which
they use to bewitch him and his stock,
also causing severe pains in his head.
He will probably be taken to Mendoza
this week for treatment and it is
hoped that proper care will restore
his reason.

SHERIFF BARDELL KILLED.
10 DavieSs County Officer Passes
Away at Mercy Hospital, Dubuque.

John Bardell, sheriff of 10 Daviess
county, ILL.,, died at Mercy hospital,
Dubuque, week ago last Sunday
morning following three days of in
tense suffering from a bullet wound
in the abdomen The Thursday prev
ious, Bardell and Richard Dryer Of
Galena, drove to the village of Mill
brig where complaints had been made
of a negro who was prOwling around
that neighbOrhOOd. The officers learn
ed upon their arrival that the negro
was in box car in the railroad yards
and attempted to open the door of the
car. Mr.. Dryer, to prepare himself
against attack, had a 32-calibre auto
matte revolver in one hand and flash
light in the other. In some manner
as he opened the door the weapon be-
came discharged and the bullet buried
itself in the sheriff's abdomen. Owing
to the sheriff having on two heavy
coats the bullet did not pass through
the body but shattered the ninth rib,
passing over the right kidney and
lodged in the muscles of the back at
the right of the spine. The wounded
man was conveyed to Galena and then
to Dubuque, five changes being made
over the rough roads. An X-Ray ex-
animation located the bullet.
The funeral services were held last
Tuesday from his home on Seminary
hill, Galena, and thence to the court
house where the body lay in state
from ten in the morning until 2:30 in
the afternoon. During that time
hundreds viewed the remains of the
dead friend. The funeral was one Of
the largest ever attended in Galena.
Bardwell was AZ years old and is
survived by his widow and eight
children. He had lived in 10 Daviess
county all his life.

GRANT CO. REJECTS
50 STATE PATIENTS

The genial countenance of Asylum
Superintendent NJ. V. Burris has been
somewhat ruffied for the past few days
following the receipt of thirty patients
from he state hospital for the feeble
minde at Chippewa Falls. About a
month ago President of the State
Board of Control James o. Davidson
called Richard Meyer, Jr., member of
the Grant county asylum board and
inquired as to whether or not Mr.. Bur-
ris could care for some patients from
the Chippewa Falls institution, as the
latter place was congested. After a
conference with Mr.. Burris, Mr.. Meyer
thought such arrangement could be
made. 1t was understood at the time
that the patients sent here would
range in age from Fl to 40 years, and
all able to care for themselves. The
state offered Grant county $3.50 week
ly for each charge. Mr.. Burris con-
siGered it a paying arrangement and
proceeded to get the hospital building
ready for their reception.
Last Friday thirty patients came in
from Chippewa Falls, via Madison.
Instead of the class of mild cases ex-
pected, the patients who were in
charge of six attendants, were almost
without exception total imbeciles.
Their ages ranged from Is to So of
them could not walk and had to be
carried from the train. One woman
was totally blind, and one was a Grip
pie that had never walked from birth.
Five or six were epileptics and COM
menced giving trouble as soon as they
arrived at the asylum. Still others
were violent and the straitjacket was
necessary in several cases
Mr.. Burris saw what had been done
as soon as the patients were taken
from the train, but as the attending
physician, DR.. Frost of Chippewa Falls,
had stopped off at Madison, he was un-
able to refuse their custody.
Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Burris both mott
fed the state board of control at once
by letter what the conditions were
and that under no consideration would
Grant county accept these charges,
and Tuesday of this week was the
date set for their removal DR.. AL
fred w. Wumarth is the superinten-
dent in charge of the Chippewa Falls
hospital.
Monday Mr.. Davidson advised the
local asylum authorities that the 9TH
er members of the state board of con-
troll were in various parts of the state
and country and consequently it was
impossible to issue an order taking
the patients back to Chippewa Falls
at once. He promised however, that
action would be taken by Thursday
of this week.

rows, Saturday, by Sheriff He'll on a
complaint made by Williams Wilkins
a young man aged 20 years. Wilkins

him the night before following a
dance given in the neighborhood. It
is said that Young was here a year

MELBOURNE, Australia, May g.
The question of post-bellum trade,
which is being considered by all the
Entente Allies, is receiving its share of
attention in Australia.
The Federal Parliament has already
annulled certain metal contracts under
which German concerns gathered sup
plies of ores from Australian mines
and had entered largely into the con-
duct of the mining industry in the
commonwealth. 1t has furthermore set
out to insure that smelling of native
ores shall be done in Australia SO
that by the time the war is over the
local smelling plants shall all be in
dependent of German works of the
kind. The Federal Government has
also tackled the complicated question
of patents held by German firms or
individuals and has removed from them
the protection of the British crown on
the principle that that protection had
been abused and certain firms de-
clared to be enemy firms" have been
shut off from further business while
others of suspected quasi enemy char
acter have been obliged to purge
themselves of reputed or proven Ger
man or Austrian influences, personal
and monetary.
But it is being urged that private
and individual steps in the directions
indicated have so far amounted to al
most nothing, and that chambers OF
enter more heartily into the campaign.
Notwithstanding there have been
speeches, interviews and suggestions
by business men of more or less prom
inence all over Australia and trade
fairs and like affairs have been held to
give point to the cry for trade within
the empire" and "home manufacturer
and consumption, the net effect it is
contended has been small. Recently
the Sydney Chamber of Commerce ad-
opted this resolution which may be
taken as a fair example of action by
other similar bodies in other parts of
the Commonwealth:
That this chamber places on record
with view to stimulating and increas-
ing production within the empire, and
thereby to some extent easing the en-
ormous financial burdens forced upon
us by the nations at present at war
with US, its desire to cooperate with
any practical proposals for encourage
nent of trade within the empire and
believes that the imposition of a sur
tax on goods manufactured within the
territories of such nations will be the
most effective means to attain this
end.
THAT the British and Australian
governments be urged 10 cooperate
with the manufacturing industries by

Australia Considers Her Trade
After War Like Other Nations

Establishing laboratories and centers
of scientific research such to be avail
able to manufacturers throughout the
empire"
Scientific management as it is
known in the United States and is
practiced in Germany has been agitat-
ed in Australia before the war broke
out; but on the whole the pl inciples of
it had met with cold reception. Now
il is coming to the fore with an en-
phasis derived from the war, but what
will be the outcome time alone can tell
since the average employer in
Australia before believes that he has
little to learn on this score; he is
hampered by state-socialist laws and
the powerful trades unions to the view
that scientific management" is mere
ly another name of exploitation of the
working classes. Z
Then there is the matter of shipping
with which in the case of Australia it
is said heavy blow could be dealt
German commerce after the war should
Britain, the British dominions overseas
and the Allies of Great Britain resolve
upon policy of penalization. The
Commonwealth has a coast line as
great as that of the United States, it is
a heavy importer and it maintains a
huge water-borne traffic with Europe,
Asia and America. On this point the
Australian section of the London
Chamber of Commerce has come out
strongly in support of this proposal by
a British Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee
Evidence brought before US has
disclosed the extent to which enemy
shipping has been subsidized by the
German government mainly for the
benefit of the export trade in compe-
ton with British, neutral or Allied
shipping-a fact which has been
brought home in connection with the
large quantities of goods of British
ownership contained in enemy vessels
taking refuge or detained in neutral
ports since the declaration OF war. The
trade sections with practical expert
ence of this kind generally agre that a
substantial tax leviable by the states
Of the empire should be imposed upon
the tonnage of all enemy ships using
the ports of the empire after the war"
