N. |. |. & T. Co. Hard Hit.
Not only the interurban, but the
people of the city generally Is threat
ened with serious electric power
crisis.
In another column in this paper
is a signed notice from l.. W. Hess
Of the Northern Illinois Light & Trac-
ton Co. Mr.. Hess states that his
company laid in a ninety day coal
supply when the miners strike was
called, which it was believed would
carry the company thru the duration
of the strike. At that time, with the
freight rates the coal cost the com
pany about $3.50 a ton. They We're
forced to secure more coal, and to
pay as high as $1067 ton for coal
delivered in La Sale.
Today he claims his company is
asked from $1,000 to $3.50 a ton for
coal at mines, and that delivery is not
guaranteed.
He stated that his company is max
ing every effort to get coal, and will
try to keep the people Of Ottawa sup
piled with electric current. although
to do this they will have to shut off
several large industrial concerns.

C0UN TRY IS IDEAL
FOR PLACE TO WORK
AND HAVE A HOME.
NOWHERE DO PEOPLE LEARN
RESPONSIBILITIES AND DIS
CHARGE THEM so EARLY AS
ON FARM, SAYS DEAN DAVEN-
PORT.

Country life and country people are
especially characterized by art. Dean
Eugene Davenport of the University
of Illinois told teachers of agricul-
ture at their annual conference at
Urbana today. Nowhere can more
evidence of art be found than in the
open country" he affirmed, and added
that neither the pioneer with his life
OF hardship nor the city with its ear
tifcial methods of making life toler
able to thousands of dissatisfied inhab-
itants," truly represent the atmos-
phere of agricultural life today.
Dean Davenport was emphasizing
the Importance, in teaching agricul-
ture, of preserving the atmosphere,
not of the class room, but of the farm
and the farm house.
The Ideal Life.
The agricultural life at its best, he
said lis the life of the laborer who
is still an enterpriser, maintaining a
home at his place of business. No
where else, as in the country, do peO-
pie so early and so thoroly learn to
accept responsibility and discharge 1t.
The farmer thinks in terms of goods
rather than in terms Of money, and
his purposes are those of production
rather than gain. The country is char
acterized by life and action, not by
leisure and ease, by quiet rather than
by hustle. 1t is characterized by liv-
ing things rather than by machinery,
even in this day when machinery is a
mighty factor on the land.
"The atmosphere of the country in
cludes good books really read, sound
ideas carefully thought out, and con-
victions slowly arrived at. In brief,
it represents contentment, not agita-
tion and unrest, and it is one of the
great joys and privileges of the
teacher to develop this atmosphere in
connection with teaching in order that
the young, who take their cue from
what they learn, may grow up into a
state of mind and an attitude of feel
ing which corresponds to the things
that characterize country life"

theft of the motor boat is the first
of the kind to be reported to the OF

Numerous auto thefts have occur

the police in all the nearby towns to
be on the lookout for the offenders.

in it. Mr. Rogers had been working
on the little ship Yesterday. putting
in a new floor. He left the river about

and found the launch missing. A
search of the nearby shores afiled tC

WIDOW OF VALLEY
MURDER VICTIM IS
FINED FOR HOOTCH
MRS. Ida MADALOZZA, WHOSE
HUSBAND WAS SLAIN BY ROB-
BERs, FINED $7so.4o IN PRINCE.
TON COURT.

Princeton, Aug. b.-Mrs. Lena Mad
alozza, widow of Clement Madalozza,
Spring Valley saloon man, who was
murdered by hodup men a year ago
last April, was hit for $7S040 in the
county court at Princeton this week
when she was arraigned before Judge
}. X. Prichard on charge of selling
liquor in violation of the Volstead act.
Her saloon on West Dakota street
was raided several days ago by Dep
uty Sheriffs Earl Simpson and w. D.
Hopkins.
Mrs. Madalozza almost out-foxed
the two officers by slipping bottle
of moonshine into her skirt pocket
and smuggling it outside. While the
officers were searching the premises,
the widow. who has been running the
saloon since the death of her hus-
band sneaked out the side door and
deposited the bottle behind a bill
board. w. II. Thompson, brother-in-
law of Simpson. who was here from
Big Falls, Ia, on a visit, was sitting
in front of the saloon in the sheriffs
car. He saw Mrs. Madalozza throw
away the bottle and went over and
picked it up. 1t was the only evi-
dence obtained against her.
According to booze sleuths from
the sheriff's office, who have partici-
pated in hundreds of raids since pro-
was tried. the wise blind pig
operators no longer store large guam
titles of liquor in their places Of
business. They usually have it hid
outside somewhere and carry only
a small supply on hand at time.
so that it can be easily disposed Of
in case of a raid.
Mrs. Madalozza sought to impose
upon the sympathy of the court by
pleading hard luck. Since the muir
der of her husband. she claimed, busi-
ness had been poor and on top of
that the building which she owned
at the corner of Terry and Dakota
streets was destroyed by fire, entail
ing a heavy loss. When the court
announced the fine, she dug in her
sock and produced the cash.
1t is said her husband left her con-
money when he died. He
was a successful business man and
had the reputation of carrying large
sums of money on his person. which
was one of the reasons for the mur-
