defendant was credited to the mas
terly efforts of Mr.. Hurley. 1t was
Benefits second trial. But the liti-
CATION that carried with it's successful
issue both fame and fortune to the
firm of Silverthorn & Hurley, was the
clearing up of titles to the lands on
which the city of Hurley, Iron County,
now stands. During the Gogebic eX-
citement of the SOS, these lands were
found to contain iron deposits. The
title was clouded with tax sales and
other complexities, but Mr.. Hurley tn
raveled the knot and in the supreme
court won a victory so complete that
the decision referred to him by name,
an exceptional and fiattering COM
pliment.-and his delighted clients
named the town Hurley, in his honor.
But l merely intended to write few
words of appreciation of one of the
most conscientious lawyers in the
Wisconsin valley. He needs no praise
among contemporaries. but younger
men of the bar may be glad to know
how highly his old friends regard him.
Michael A. Hurley was born at By
town. now Ottowa. Canada. On the 22d
of October, 1S40. and he was about
fifteen years of age when he came to
Wisconsin. in 1856, where his first
place of abode was at Schofield. and
later at stevens Point, Portage county.
Ambition and definite prediction en-
abled him to profit fully by the advan-
tages he had received in the common
schools of his native province and
those in WiSconsin-and under pri-
vate teachers-and at the age of eigh-
| teen years he put his scholastic at
tainmentS to practical test and utili-
zation by engaging in teaching in the
district schools of Portage county. He
became an able and popular represen-
tative of the pedagogic profession in
the pioneer days of Wisconsin and
continued his labors as a teacher dur
ing the major part of the time until he
finished his education. To accom-
plish this he went to Chicago, found
work in a hotel where he could earn
enough to support himself and have
sufficient time to pursue his course OF
study and pay his private teachers for
his instruction-for he had no means
to pay his way through college. In
the meanwhile he had given careful
attention 10 the profession of the law
and decided to adopt this profession
for a life's work. He went to Ber-
lin. Green Lake county, Wisconsin, and
entered the law Office of Hon. Thomas
c. Ryan. who was then one of the
leading lawyers of the bar of Green

Flat Feet at Camp Grant
Examination

Camp Grant, Rockford, H., Sept.
25.-He was six feet tall and had lust
tipped the scales at 239. He was the
biggest thing in the examining room
of the infirmary of the 341st infantry.
There was not blemish on him. His
carriage was excellent and in the sur
geon's eye was a CLEAN of admira-
ton.
Hold up your right foot" ordered
the medical officer.
The foot came up, but was set down
again in a fash.
Hold it up"
Reluctantly, it was removed from
the floor for a more careful inspec-
ton. The CLEAN in the surgeons eve
disappeared. From ball to heel the
bottom of the foot was fiat. So was
its mate. The surgeon shook his
head.
ooh, I'm all right, DOCTOR" pleaded
the big fellow, who was Louis Weed
of Amigo, Wis. Never mind the
shape of the foot. I'll outwalk any
man in the regiment. I'm used to
hoofng twenty miles a day. My feet
never hurt, Why, say"
Next" said the surgeon, with an
expression of regret There was moth
ing pleasant about writing "finis" on
the military career of a man like
Weed, but the regulations bar fiat feet
Weed appealed to his commanding
officer, Capt. Edwin W. Allen, of Co.

There ought to be a place for me
somewhere in the army" he insisted.
Capt. Allen agreed and an effort will
be made to find it.

THE new Methodist Episcopal church

worship last Sabbath The house is
built of wood and is, for rural dis

port showing the total cost to have
been $1,000, and amount to be raised
1898; this amount the congregation wa,
asked to raise before the house was
given to the Lord. In few minutes
utes $842 rs was canvassed, being over
800 more than was asked, and which
can be used in fencing and otherwise
improving the church. The house was
