QUESTION IF
INTEREST IS
NON INVO!.VE
BANK CASHIER TAKES STAND IN
TRIAL OF SUIT AGAINST
FORMER SHERIFF.
Sum of S1O,275 Was Paid MIR. Clemens
as Interest on Deposlts,
! Witness Says.

Whether ex-Sheriff VIM. Clemens Is
entitled TO the interest on the re-
ceipts paid into his office while he
was in term or whether it should 90
TO the taxpayers will be the legal
question which will decide the amount
alleged to be due from the former
sheriff.
The total amount which the county
! Is endearOring TO recover is about
$4,000. This amount includes S10,275,
paid by the German bank in interests
10 Mr. Clemens on funds deposited
therein. The other $4,000 is made up
about $4,000 which the county claims
as its part Of the commissions paid
discrepancies and mistakes on the tax
books Aside from the interest and
I fifteen per cent Of the eX-sheritfs fees,
the $4,000 alleged Indebtedness goes
down to about $1,000. 1t Is also
claimed that the Richie school dis
trict owes Mr.. Clemens $4,000. This
would leave a balance OF about $1,000
, due the sheriff, if his contentious are
sustained.
According to these figures which
were brought out at yesterday after
Moons bearing before Special Master
NJ. J. Cullinan in the circuit court
rooms, the question to be decided is
! the disposal of the $l0,275 interests.
John He'll, cashier of the German
bank, was placed on the stand yester-
: day and testified that he paid the
above amount to Mr.. Clemens.
! Jacob Otto Was then recalled. He
is representing the state tax commits
sioner's office and was one OF those
who audited the books Of Mr.. Clemens.
| The state had no depository law
when Clemens was sheriff but bond
had TO be given for the holding Of the
money and the sheriff was at liberty
ito place the money wherever he de-
sired. The county is now claiming
the interest. Fred o. Blue, state tax
commissioner, is charged with telling
Mr. Clemens the interests belonged to
the sheriff and on this point the case
may be carried to the supreme court
Of appeals.
The hearing has peen adjourned
until $50 o'clock Saturday morning.

SuLzER IS SEEKING
DRY" NOMINATION

St. Paul, July 19.-William Sulzer
is speeding toward st. Paul from New
York and on his arrival he will try to
defeat a sudden pro-Hanly drive which
promises to land the Prohibition par
TVS presidential nomination for the
former Indiana governor over the op-
position of Eugene W. Chain and
other veteran leaders.
Several powerful members of the
administration coterie, which is head
ed by Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of
the national committee, was swung
into the Hanly column when Alonzo E.
Wilson Of Chicago, chairman of the
Indiana mans steering committee,
gave assurance that the Hanly con-
tingent will support Hinshaw for re-
election and permit him and the new
executive committee to manage the
campaign.
This means that Oliver w. Stewart.
former national chairman, has sur
rendered his hopes of election to his
old post and is willing to serve mere
ly as Mr.. Hanly's personal campaign
manager under the supervision of Mr..
Hinshaw.

Elephant Threnodies.

The natives of certain portions of
south central Africa look on the death
Of an elephant as an event. They at
tach an almost religious aspect to it,
"As soon as the animal stalked is
stretched on the ground the hunters
climb upon the huge, warm body and
there perform a dance, gesticulating
and shaking their guns, accompanied
by a sort Of litany, in which they extol
the animal and his qualities, his
strength, his size, his cunning; then
they praise the skill Of the hunter, his
prompt eye, his accurate shot. AND
this song is just murmured, as if they
were afraid that if they raised their
voices they would attract the curse Of
the spirit. which has just left the ami.
NAL and is still floating around him."

The Farmers Wife.

In the Woman's Home Companion is
an article by a farmers wife, who
says:
"Given a good husband and good
health, there's no one in the world
who needs pity less than the farmers
wife. She has q rich and resourceful
life if she will make It so, and she
usually does. She's the most indie
pendent woman on earth Of panics and
money ~stringencies and things Of that
sort. Her family simply can't go
hungry. There'Il always be potatoes
and turnips down in the cellar and
meat in the smokehouse, to say the
least. She always has eggs and
chickens and milk. She can take a
bushel of wheat to the mill and get it
ground for 10 cents. She can draw
on her storeroom for fruit and sweets,
and her table is supplied. When the
mechanic is out Of work his family
must stop eating or live on charity,
but it isn't so in the farmers family.

mighty hard grinding before tha>

The success of the two sessions OF

fessional men,, and the state depart
ment of education has furnished the
services of two prominent speclallsts
in education. Professor Garland A.

York. rave several addresses and
demonstrations along the line Of agri-
cultural education and rural leader
shin. Professor J. Adams Puffer, one
of the best known authorities on
educational guidance in this country,
cave five talks on different phases OF
Ills specialty, which were both lnsplr-
mo and instructive to the teachers.
There have also been several pleas
ing social functions in connectlon
with the summer school. The last OF
which was held at the high school
building last Tuesday evening, when
an excellent program Of music, liter
arv features and games were en-
loved by the faculty and students.
