DISTILS WATER;
FEEI)SHENS MASH

After raid by Sheriff Walter
Mueller, Undersherif Cliff Bluett,
Chief of Police R. S. Payne and Pa
trolman Louis Painter last Wednes-
day, at the home of Edward Johnson
on Third street north, Mr.. johnson
and his two sons, Leonard and Elmer,
were arrested. A complete still was
found hidden under the floor of the
garage and a quantity of mash was
found buried in the back yard. There
were found also some barrels which
had apparently contained mash, it is
stated. The three men, when ar
raigned on charge of making and
selling illicit liquor, took an adjourn
ment until April 10, on bonds Of $500
furnished by John Possley.
When questioned Thursday morning
by Chief Payne and District Attor-
ney F. w. Calkins, Elmer, the elder
son, stated that the still was his
property and that neither of the 9TH
ers knew anything about it. He de-
MED that he had used it to make moon,
shine or for any other purpose, but
said that he found it while out hunt
ing last September and brought ii
home planning to distil drinking wa
ter with it. After he got it home he
became alarmed, he said, and hid il
under the garage to get rid of it.
When asked about the mash found
/ in the yard he said that it was corn
Originally purchased for chicken feed
but which spoiled and was thrown
out. His statements were corrobo
rated by the others, who denied tha
they had any knowledge of the still

SPECIAL Session
COST $4,000

Madison, WIs.-The cost of the
special session of the legislature
which completed its work last Tues
day, will approximate $4,000, accord
ing to figures furnished by Elmer S.
Hall, secretary of state.
Actual expenditures on mileage to
members and for wages Of legislat-
i've help amounted to S5,636.70. The
printing, the one item yet unpaid, on
which bills have not yet been re
ceived, is not expected to exceed $500
in cost.
Governor Blaine estimated the cost
of the session at $4,000. Expenses of
the Legislature are taken from the
general fund of the state, and are not
limited in amount. The greatest part
Of the cost of the special session was
in payment of mileage to the 133s
members.
No wages are paid the legislators
for attending the extraordinary ses-
sions, their entire compensation being
$500 for the two year term.

CAUSED
BY Burns

Arthur Desmarais, janitor at the
Riverview hospital, who was seriously
burned Sunday, November 5, died II
his burns, at the hospital Thursday
night. Every effort was made to save
his life ard only the day before his
death he had undergone an operation
for grating of skin to the burned
places on his BODY. The burns re-
suited from an explosion of coal gas
in the furnace Of the hospital base
ment, which set his clothing on fire.
Deceased was born in France, June
2, 1872. He has been a resident of
this city for many years and mas for
some time past been employed as
janitor at the hospital. He is sur
vived by his widow and two adopted
children. His home was at 872 Lin
coin street.
Remains were taFen to the Ragan
Undertaking parlors, and thence on
Sunday to the w. R. Chambers home
on Third street south, whence the
funeral was held on Monday morn
ing at 8:45. Services were conducted
at 9:15 from SIS. Peter & Paul cath
olic Church with Rev. VIM. Reding
officiating. Burial took place in Cal
ary Cemetery.

SPRING HIGH
WATERIIERE:

While not so high as it has often
been in the memory of many citizens
here, the Wisconsin River is running
high this week. The melting of the
deep snow in the north part of the
state has sent down steady increase
of water the past several days. All
the gates in the dams here and at BIZ
ron are now open. One of the big
steel gates in the dam here was torn
ont Monday night.
At the new bridge, one of the form
arches which the workmen had been
trying to remove, was forced out from
under the bridge and tipped over in
to the river, the same night. This
was the only arch that had not al
ready been removed. It will prob
ably be possible to recover it as soon
as the water goes down. No damage
was done to the bridge and none is
anticipated.
Easements of many buildings along
First street are flooded as usuel, and
some inconvenience, but no serious
loss is the result.
There is promise today of brighter
warmer weather, which should help
matters considerably. The cloudy,
! cold condition of the weather has re-
tarded the spring breakup, which
it will now take but few warm,
sunny days to complete.

fulness.

fulness. The cordial reception ac-
corded this new and additional fea-
ture Of our service to the public, and
the fact that the Inauguration Of the
plan seems to be meeting a real ne
cessity in our post office organization
prompts me to renew attention to the
subject and to suggest that those post
offices whcih have not already adopt
ed the idea arrange to do SO as soon
as practicable. It can be absorbed
readily and easily without addition
al expense.
1t has been suggested that this Pub
lie Information Service may properly
be associated with the Inquiry Work
in the post office. Wherever in the
Post Office the Public Information
Desk is located a suitable sign will
be displayed.
There will be kept on file and read
| lily accessible current railroad time
tables and up-to-date data regarding
hotels, civic organizations, local in
dustries, good roads and routes, and
points of interest.
These features and such others as
may be of peculiar local interest, in
addition to the careful and cheerful
attention to the travellers and tour
lists mail, is real public duty and
useful agency in our postal system
in which all postal employees should
cooperate.

PLAN T()H HAVE
BASEBALL team

At a meeting Of the Tri-City Ath-
letic Club Wednesday evening Of last
week, plans were made whereby this
city is to be represented by an inde-
pendent baseball team the coming
year. The team is to be recruited
from Wisconsin Rapids, Port Ed
wards and Nekoosa. The suggestion
that league team be organized was
rejected, in fact, it was not seriously
considered. The committee on base
ball consists Of L. P Daniels, Chas.
Nash, Frank Abel, Fred Ragan and
T. P. Peerenboom.
The Club also elected J. E. Farley
as President, L. P. Daniels as Vice
President and Ward Johnson as Sec
retary and Treasurer, at the same
meeting.

PASSED AWAY
At HOSPITAL.

Winfred T. Sharpe passed away
Wednesday morning at $40 o'clock,
at the Riverview Hospital, where he
had been confined the past three weeks
with pneumonia. Death was due to
heart trouble.
Mr.. Sharpe, who was 81 years of
age, is survived by his aged father
at Milton Junction, and by a brother
at Madison. His mother preceded
him in death on March "a of this
year.
Mr.. Sharpe has been located in this
city for the past two years and was
manager of the Monarch Sales Com
pany of this city.
The body was taken to the Henry
Loock home on Oak street Wednes-
day afternoon, and was shipped to
Milton junction Thursday. Funeral
services will be held at his former
home at that place.

MANS BODY
NOT FOUND

The unsuccessful search for the
body of John ShyH1anski has contin-
ued since the accident week ago
Sunday. Boats have been kept on the
river above and below the dam here,
with men watching for the body, as
II was expected to rise to the sur
face after a number of days. How
ever, the chance Of recovering the
body with the water at the present
high stage is very slight. 1t may
have been carried past or caught on
some object in the stream, and none
can tell now when or where the look
ed-for discovery of it may take place.

ACROSS THE
BRIDGE And
ONTHIS SIDE

A banner headline in some Of he
daily papers last Thursday read
somewhat as follows: "Ex-Service
Men Mob Blaine Defender" The
story described the action Of former
service men, now students in the Uni
versity at Madison in mobbing an
other student who was defending the
Governor for giving permission to
Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare to speak
in the Assembly Chamber Of the State
Capitol. Mrs. O'Hare is, by all re-
ports an eccentric, radical, self-styled
Socialist, who anneXes to her Iect-
ures considerable of the sensualism
Of the worst Of the Russians, because
she thinks, with the moving picture
producers, that that is what the peo-
pie want nowadays
Nevertheless, [ see nothing in the
record Of the mobbing Of Blaine's de-
fender 60 be proud of. It is conceded
now that wars, even wars "to make
the world safe for democracy" do not
really settle anything, much less de-
eide the right Of the question at is
sue. We are several years past the
trial by force Of arms in contro-
versies between individuals. It never
was conclusive. It never resulted in
justice except by accident.
The use Of violence, and the employ
ment Of numbers against one, even
in cases like those in which the Amer
lean Legion is said to be involved,
is unjustifable. 1t is criminal IF
Governor Blaine and his adherents
are wrong, events will prove them
so, and their being wrong will prove
their certain and swift undoing. If
they are right, and no sure judge has
yet judged them right or wrong-then
nothing that any person, group or or
ganization can do can keep the1d from
winning in the end
There is but one true and righteous
Judge He always declares himself
in His own good time, and from His
decisions there is no appeal. Neither
does He need volunteer human aid to
hand out His punishments and re-
wards ''Vox Rnpuli vox- del" These
impetuous upholders of a theory of
the divine right of themselves would
do well to wait for the decision of the
Higher Court, expressed through the
ballot boxes and the legislative bodies
that represent the citizenry Of the
state and nation.
