Acting on information given in a
message from the United States mar
shall at Dallas, Sheriff e. A. Keller
started yesterday to that place to as
sumo custody of Bonnie Remple, or
Benz Remle, or, as he gave his name
when he first came to Madison, Steve
Sion. According to Mr.. Keller's in
depreciation of the message, the mil
itary authorities did not want the
man, and would relinquish him to the
civil authorities of this county. An
other message vas received this
morning, addressed to Mr.. Keller, but
delivered to States Attorney George
r. Farmer, advising that the marshal
had left Dallas with the man on an
early train, and was taking him to
Camp Funston for enlistment. Mr..
Farmer at once wired a message to
intercept the sheriff and advise him
of the change in the status of the
case, hoping to overtake him at Nor
folk, Neb.

LYRIC THEATER
WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY
EVENINGS, THE LONE
WOLF"

Herbret Brenon provided the resi-
dents of ~aristocratic Riverside Drive
with a sensation while making the
final scenes for his Selznick Pictures
production of THE Lone Wolf" A
three story structure representing
Troyoh's Hotel in Paris, was erected
in the grounds of the Brenon studio
on the Palisades, opposite Eighty
sixth street, and one night 1t was
burned to the ground. for the pur-
poses of the story. A large quantity
of highly inflammable material was
heaped behind the structure, and
when this was burned the flames
mounted high into the air. Thou
sands gathered along the drive to
watch the mysterious blaze, a weird
effect being added by the blue lights
of the studio. Speculation was rife
as to whether this was another ! r
mar plot to destroy a munition plant,
until the wort was passed around
that it was mcrely another Cess of
Brenon on the Job.

Change OF METHODS
WAR CONDITIONS AFFECTS THE
LOCAL DAIRY BUSINESS.

Another business which must
change its methods because of war
conditions is that of the retail milk
man, G.. /. Wilkinson informs us.
Not that they have taken to shoot
ing milk at the German soldiers. It's
worse than that. 1t is through the
great cost of collecting and the high
mortality of milk bottles. The num-
Der of bottles which Mr.. Wilkinson
has bought to replace those lost is
unbelievable. And the cost of collec-
lions is great, for the reason that the
accounts are small and the number
great, and in a trip of collecting
many are not at home OF are tempo
rarily out of funds at the time. In
cities it Is customary for milkmen to
issue tickets, collecting for them at
the time Of the sale. These tickets,
together with the recently emptied
bottle, are Left at a convenient place
for the milkman, who leaves a filled
bottle in their stead. And the unfor-
tunate housewife who does not put
out both the tickets and bottles goes
without milk. This is the system
which Mr.. Wilkinson purposes to put
into effect next month, for his own
and others convenience.

and was treated sketchily at a for
mer meeting. Last night under the
impetus of enjoyments to follow,
they acted favorably upon the appli-
cation of a Mr.. Quarnstrom, of Wa
tertown, as superintendent, and did
it quickly.
1t is understood that Mr.. Raffer-
tvs work will continue to be about
what 1t has been hitherto. The new
superintendent will have control of
the power and light plant, and be
wholly responsible for its safety,
continued efficiency and manage
ment. His salary is to be $3.50 a
month.
When this business had been dis
patched there was informal talk
about fire fighting. They seemed to
have considered fire fighting appa-
ratus at some earlier date, and were
wholly familiar with the difficulties
of fighting fire in extremely cold
weather. AT this time the city patri-
archs relaxed, and many stories were
told of the things done to fires in the
early days of the city history. They
adjourned without a dissenting voice.

loan ASSOCIATION
HELD BRISK MEETING LAST
NIGHT-REELECTED RETTR-
ING DIRECTORS.

The stockholders of the Madison
Building and Loan association held a
meeting In the courtroom of the
courthouse last night for the election
of four retiring directors, President
H. H. Frudenfeld presiding. OF the
total number of over $500 shares in
the corporation there were 3,400
represented at the meeting.
Following the reading of the min
utes of the last meeting and the
treasurer's and secretary's reports,
an amendment to the bylaws was
passed. This amendment provides
that in the election of directors here
after, the candidates for the office
shall file their petitions with the sec
rotary, who will have ballots printed
and distributed by mail to the share
holders. These ballots can be voted,
either personally, or sent by mail to
the secretary, who will vote them.
This, it is hoped, will give a wider
representation to absent shareholders
and provide for a quorum of the
stock at each annual meeting.
A motion was made to suspend
the rules in the election of the four
retiring directors, and that they be
reelected to succeed themselves.
DR.. j. w. Heston firmly supported
the offer, stating that the reports
showed the condition of the associa-
ton to be so excellent, and the local
pride in the good that the association
has done the city and community was
so great, that they should be con-
tinued in office. He urged, in effect,
that this was no time to rock the
boat, and that the administration of
association affairs was so good that
! their conduct should not at this time
be meddled with. Pursuant to this
motion and the general satisfaction,
j. C. Schultz, Martin A. Berther, L.
A. Blagen and Hans Hanson were
voted by reclamation, and the secre'
tary declared that hts vote as in.

CITY Commission
THEY MADE 1T BRIEF IN VIEW
OF OTHER GOOD AT
FRACTIONS.

The time to see the city commits
sion In good quick, brisk action Is
when there are other attractions for
them to attend. On such occasions
they come dressed up with some
where to go, and do up the business
without many of the stories and rem
i%niscences commonly employed to IL
lustrate and illuminate their DELHI
eratioons. Last night was such a
one. They had a series of other
places to go during the evening, and
for one to have met with them he
would have had to be sitting on the
doorstep at sunset, and their meet
ing was as brief as one of the earlier
movie films.
With Mayor Robertson and Com
missioner r. A. Johnson present, the
commissioners met earlier than usual
at the city hall. The deliberations
conveyed the impression that what
ever they had to do was well arrang-
ed in advance at some street com
mittee meeting, and 1t required not
very much consideration for them to
complete their work.
The matter of hiring a new super
intendent of light and power was
proposed. This matter had come up

EXEMPTION PAY
HOW THE LOCAL EXEMPTION
BOARDS ARE PAID.

Pierre, Jan. 15.-Gov. Norbeck
has received instructions that the To-
cal exemption boards, which are
working upon the questionnaires will
receive 80 cents for each completed
QUESTIONABLE, and this sum they can
divide as they choose because In
some instances one member OF the
board is practically doing all the
work, and In some cases the three
members work quite evenly examin-
ing the papers. The instructions
further state that the government
will pay so per cent of this price
when so per cent OF the question
naires due from a community are
passed upon, another 90 per cent
when 80 per cent are examined, an
other 10 per cent when go per cent
of the papers are examined and the
