The Scoundrei
DR.. Lyman Abbott, the famous
"anti," said at a luncheon in New
York:
Some people think because I op-
pose universal suffrage that I am
very severe and harsh on the subject
of woman.
'These people liken me, in fact, to
the man who was asked:
"'Do you believe in clubs for wom-
en?'
"'sure I do!' the man replied.
Clubs, sandbags, fiatirons, any old
thing"

Assemblyman George Carpenter un-
earthed bill in the legislature that
provided two-thirds of the taxes col
lected by the power companies should
be paid to the municipalities where
the distribution was made. In case
the law passed it would be a great
hardship to the towns and villages at
the Kilbourn and Prairie du Sac
plants. Judge Marshall gave valua-
BILE service in killing the bill, and the
Prairie du Sac residents were there
in body when the hearing was held.
It is said there is a similar bill sleep
ing in the senate, and the people of
Prairie du Sac and Kilbourn should
keep an eye open that it does not go
through during the rushing hours at
the close.

conceptions. the part which Germany
has played in the development of com
mercial Russia and the part that Ger
many is likely to play in the CONNER

her unfortunate influence on the politi-

by the fact that practically all the sue
