CHECK THE BOOKS

Another new year is just around the corner, and
as 1885 draws to close it is time to pause in our
tasks to review it; to evaluate the trends and &C.
Invites during the year, and to enter the credit
and debit sides of our personal books the things
we have done in the twelve months just past, be-
fore turning to the new year to see what it holds
for us.
Of things material, there is no gainsaying that
the credits exceed the debts. OF the many IN
dices of business conditions, all show decided
trend upward as they have for several years past.
Postal receipts are on the increase. This is true
not only throughout the nation as a whole, but
here in this valley, where one would suppose that
the removal of several business would cause a de-
crease. The implication OF these facts is that the
people in general have more money than they had
last year, and this is borne out by the fact that
Christmas shopping this year was heavier than
for the past five years.
The automobile industry and other major in
dustries have shown considerable increase in bust
during the year, as have retail establish
ments. Money received by producers of nearly all
products is on the increase, according to STATISTICS
After five depressing years. these statistics pre-
sent heartening picture to the nation as whole,
but it should be with the less material factors
that we should concern ourselves as the birth of
1886 becomes imminent
What have we done to improve our personal
welfare and that of our community and country?
Have we aided in the betterment of conditions
for others, and ourselves we'll, or have we been
a drag, and has the world improved in spite of
us, or because of us? No chain is stronger than
it's weakest link and no nation can develop be-
yond what the individual persons allow it to be-
come.
There is every reason to believe that the bal
ancing of these less material values on the books
will show the credits to exceed the debts. Adver-
sity has been borne without despair, and serious
obstacles in the way of a richer life have been
overcome.
The last few months of 1885 have witnessed
renewed determination by the residents of this
valley to make it better place in which to live.
Optimism is much in evidence and the indications
are that 1886 should mark long step forward in
the return of better times

Dionnes Fight Govt ToRetain
 Control Quints
PARENTS CLAIM THEY ARE KEPT AWAY FROM THEIR
 OWN CHILDREN

WINDSOR, Ontario Province, Can ada-Parents of the famous Dionne quintuplets have retained an attor- ] ney in an attempt to get parental control of their five famous daugh- ters and to share in the fortune be- ing piled up for the babies.
 This fortune in few months when the girls attain the age of one year will amount to about $lOO,OoO but none of the wealth will be given them until they are IS years old.
 The money is being derived from admission fees that are charged per- sons who enter the hospital at Cal lander, Ontario province, to see the infants. The hospital was especially built for the quintuplets and con- tains no other inmates except the children's nurses and doctors.
 Five guardians were appointed by the Canadian government to have control of the children. One of these guardians is pr. Allan Roy Dafoe, who attended the birth of the in fants and who directs and super vises their care.
 Mrs. Olivia Dionne and her hus- band Elzira Dionne, parents of the quintuplets, are now in the United States making theatrical appearan- ces. The mother and father contend they were compelled to sign away their rights to the children by Can adian government authorities on the threat that otherwise relief funds would be withheld from the Dionne family, which at the time of the birth of the five girls and for some time afterwards was in strengthened circumstances
 The parents aver they were fore ed to go on the stage to support their five older children. They also charge they were treated brusquely whn thy visited the hospital to see the quintuplets.

 Mrs. Dionne and her husband are in South Bend filing a stage engage mont.
 While other people can get into the hospital at any time, neverthe- less on one occassion,' Mrs. Dionne related, when I wanted the little shirts the quintuplets had outgrown one of the nurses ordered me out of the hospital, threatening to strike me with a hashlight"
 Papa Dionne declared that the five other children in the Dionne family had seen their quintuplet sisters only twice, each time behind glass case. He continued:
 q have had enough of being a proxy papa to my daughters. Now my wife and I are going to see about taking the government out of our home life We don't like the way the government is splitting up our family"

Gratis agreed today that q two-year

cratic members Of the House COM

sion, but would be prepared to act
swiftly II the Senate showed signs of
delay beyond June 16. the day N. r. A.
expires.

was that the administration would
prefer q two-year extension to the
"eight or nine months proposed by
the Senate committee" He added
that he thought the House Ways and
Means Committee also would prefer

be justified" Doughton said, IT see

CONVICTED
IN GAMING CASE
II Others Found Guilty by
Jury After Two Hours
DeIiberation.

A jury of four women and seven
men in District Supreme Court last
night swung surprising and some
what painful blow into the midrif Of
the city's gambling fraternity by de-
livering guilty verdicts against Sam
Beard and IL alleged assistants ac-
cused Of operating a city-wide syndi-
cate for covering racing bets.
The Jury announced its verdict in
q court room crowded since the trial
opened eight days ago with lawyers
interested in criminal cases and a
sprinkling Of gamblers and hang
ers-on.
For time after the verdict was
delivered there was no sound save
shutting feet Of the deputies as they
moved forward to take charge Of the
13 defendants. Never sit down to a
table Of 49," muttered spectator.
Deliberated Two Hours.
The jury, which lost a member due
to illness the day after the trial
opened, required only about two hours
to reach agreement. 1t received the
case at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
went out to dinner at $50, remained
until 7:30. and announced it was
ready to deliver the verdict half an
hour later.
Assistant District Attorney John w.
Fihelly had been informed during the
trial that gamblers were betting 10
to l for acquittal. The case through
out was the center of interest from
gamblers who felt the outcome might
have bearing on their own affairs.
Immediately after the verdict, De-
fense Attorney John j. Sirica told
Justice Joseph w. Cox he would file
an appeal in the near future.
Asks Defendants Be Jailed.
Assistant District Attorney Roger
Robb, who, with Fihelly, had handled
the Governments case, asked that the
defendants be jailed pending the ap-
peal.
Prison vans had been brought up
from the District jail and awaited the
verdict outside the courthouse.
Sirica, however, insisted the 13 be
admitted to bail, in view of the early
appeal. Justice Cox granted the re-
quest on this basis and ordered Beard
