of j. L. Wingfield, state bank exam
iner, against the Northern Casualty
company, a local surety company, is
being heard in state circuit court here.
The surety company bonded w. M.

that money was paid to the banks on
notes which had been sold to the
Bank of North st. Paul, and the money
thus paid in had been credited to the
account of A. e. Nelson, president of
the Newark bank. On these accounts,
the bank examiner seeks to recover
from b surety on Butts
bond. Butts was convicted of making
a false statement to the bank exam
liner and was sentenced to IS months

FATHER ROBT. HARE
DEAD; HELPED FRAME
STATE CONSTITUTION
author of Initiative and Refer.
endum-Lost Church Charge
For His Activities.

Aberdeen. S. D., March S.-The Rev.
Father W. Haire, one of the prominent
figures in South Dakota history, died
in his room in ST. Luke's hospital on
Saturday afternoon at about 5 o'clock,
following a stroke which had overcome
him Is minutes before. He had suffered
a similar attack about two weeks be-
fore.
/ Father Hare was the author of the
initiative and referendum provision OF
the South Dakota constitution and
1 Waged q valiant and successful flght
for its adoption by the new state. He
took an active part in state politics for
many years, espousing the popullst
movement when it sprang, up and sery-
ing as secretary of the state board OF
regents of education during the admin
istration of former Governor Andrew
E. Lee, democrat.
OF a Protestant family, of French
and English descent, Father Hare was
born at Freedom, Mich. on August 30
1915. He was educated in the public
schools of that place and afterward at
tended the normal school at Ypsilanti,
Mich, and later graduated from Anr
Arbor, taking the law course. HavinS
become interested in Catholicism, he
finally turned to hat faith, and de-
termined to become a priest. He spent
three years at the university at Lou
vain, Belgium, studying for the priest
mood and later completed MS StudleS
at st. Mary's of the West, Cincinnati,
Ohio. He was ordained to the priest
hood by Bishop Burgess at Detroit
Mich, on March /. 1874, and became
rector of Holy Trinity church in De
troit. Later he was transferred tc
Flint, Mich, and in 1880 came to Da-
kota territory, where he held a parish
extending along the Northwestern rail-
road from Springfield, Mimi, to James
town. N. D., but, by the middle SOS, his
territory had contracted until it was
confined to Aberdeen and vicinity.
From the time of his arrival in the
territory, Father Hare took an active
tpart in politics, particularly in reform
work. being a strong advocate of pro-
hibition and other reforms and, be-
cause of his political activity, he
FLASHED with Bishop Marty of the Siou1
Falls diocese. and vas relieved of his
parish.
When the populist party came into
being, Father Hare became one of the
most active members of the party. HI
was also an active advocate of the in
ltiative and referendum, and wrote the
provision for that reform which was
incorporated in the constitution o.
South Dakota, and has since beer
adopted by a number of other states
In his political work, Father Hare was
involved in man heated controversies,
but as he grew older he practically re-
tired from active participation in poll
tics, beyond presiding at various So
cialist meetings, and taking part in
local antisaloon campaigns.

DANGER IN FOOLISH CUSTOM
Those Who Bite Penholders in Public
Use Are Hereby Warned OF
Possible Infection.

That the penhclder. such as most OF
us frequently use In hotels. pos Of
fees, banks ana other public writing
rooms may be as deadly carrier OF
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cup, Is the suspicion
for which the boards of health be-
lieve they have found ample grounds.
The next time you use one OF these
public penhoiders you will notice. il
you examine it carefully. that the
wooden handle is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprint
of the teeth of persons who have used
the pen before you: and as the mouth
Is the favorite port Of entry for dis
ease. each dent is usually full of mi
crobes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death, therefore. all you need to do
is to bite on the penholder. Every
time you DO this. you take into your
mouth the germs which scores OF
other persons have left by similar
bites.
Health officials plan 10 secure legis-
lation abolishing the public penhold-
err. In the meantime they urge the
public to try to break itself OF the al
most universal habit Of holding a pen
in ones mouth while folding q letter
or blotting a check.

one of those paternal addresses which
so eminently characterized his rela-

But his final leave OF everything con-
nected with his military life was taken
on December 8. 1888, at Faunces' tav-

uuested his officers in full uniform to
assemble. On entering the room and
finding himself surrounded by his old
companions in arms his agitated feel
