WIG ZIELKE BRING WIFE AND
CHILDREN FRO MEUROPE.

LuuWlg Zlelke, a russian occupy
ing the T. Richter farm, was made
exceedingly happy not long ago.
when his wife and children reached
Madison, having come from the vi
cinity of Berlin. Germany
When Mr. Zielke came TO Lake
county seven years ago. he left his
folks to shift for themselves in their
native land of Russia while he ac-
cumulated enough on this side TO see
them safely across.
At the time the war broke out Mr..
Zielke's wife and children, were on
the German-Russian border tossed
about by the contending armies that
crushed the non-cOmbatants and
scattered them like chaff before a
gale. They were the victims circum-
stance while awaiting letters and
money from the bread winner in un
devastated America.
Mr.. Zielke was never forgettul OF
his dear ones. He worked hard and
saved every cent hoping that good
fortune would favor him and unite
the broken circle He sent financial
aid a certain periods but had no as
surance that his family received it.
Months passed and no cheering word
came from the crater OF waT- Fin
ally white. nervous and worn with
anxiety Mr.. Zielke got in touch with
a local banker who through his in
stitutiOn's larger connections saw to
il that money transmitted reached
the proper destination. enator Steri-
ing took up the mater through the
state department in 1917 but he
found il impossible 10 get money or

Under high nervous tension Mr.
Zielke threatened TO sell out ana go
over and join his family. In this last
period of distress the glad news
reached him that his family were on
the way 10 Madison, South Dakota
His JOY knew no bounds. When they
actually did arrive here Mr.. Zielke
was the happiest man in the state.
With great appreciation did he eK-
press mis- thanks TO those who assist

troduce his wife and children TO the
local banker whose efforts were sue
cessfuI in his behalf.
The refugees seemed dazed with
wonder in this big land of peace and
industry. They inhaled new
breath of freedom never before
known.
The last heard OF this incident
was the other day when Mr.. Zielke
brought the family to town and spent
a wad of money on clothes. knicE-
knack's and even fishing poles.

account of the incidents which
have made him a ssorm ceuter. He
addressed meeting in the John

Bruce discussed the Moens case
thoroughly and submitted seeming

only one empIoye of the public
school system involved with MOens
and that she had been dismissed
from the service. He cited the fact
that Aoens was employed on the
recommendation of the Rev. John
Van SchaiCk, former president OF
the Board of Education, and
against his (Bruce's) personal
wishes.
He declared that grievances were
held by members of the Parents
League on account of the assign
ments of teachers from the normal
schools.
Bruce's address was frequently
punctuated by applause, and there
seemed to be no disturbing element
in the capacity audience. A large
