A meeting yhich showed that

duties, and especially the teachers,
was held here today at the -Methodist
Church when the Schoolmis

monthly session. The morning's

Love,' and an encore, "In .My Gar

a lecture, every word of which was
fraught with meaning. Her subject
was "Prolessions Open to Women.''
and alive with just the sort of facts
and in format ion needed. She im

She discussed home-making as a
profession, because this1 is open to
women more than any other. It
was important, she said, that tin y

line their activities to the four walls
of tho household. This naturally
led to social service and civic work.

witnessed tho proceedings.
Following his indictment by tho
grand Jury a few days ago on a
charge of assault and battery on the
person of C. 11. Maupln, Mr. Mode
appeared boforo Judge Hamilton ill
the Circuit Court at 10 o'clock this
morning und entered u formal plea
or guilty. This was quite unexpected,
lor II was prevolusly Intimated that
hcVould plead not guilty and stand
trial.
When asketi u no had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro
nounced, Attorney John T. Long
made a brief address in behalf of his
client. "Mr. Modo Is unite aged,"
said Attorney Long, "and he hns
been a resilient or Douglas County
for many years. Ho has always
horno a good reputation nnd his
pre.ient ortense is his first. His prop
erty Is heavily mortgaged, and in the
vent n heavy rino is Imposed he will
lie compelled to serve it out In Jail.
In I ho event tho court sees fit to im
pose a reasonable lino and suspend
sentence, 1 bellevo tho law will be
Hntisricd, ami all danger of future
trouble involving Mr. Modo with his
neighbors will bo removed. Uecause
of these Tacts I ask tho court to bo
:is lenient as possible In Imposing
sentence." Judge Hamilton then
asked Dial riot Attorney (ioorge Neu
uer to relato I ho olrcumstances of the
alleged assault, as liorno out by the
evidence adduced before tho grand
Jury. The district attorney reviewed
the caso from Its beginning, nnd In
timate. I that it was ono of tho most
aggravated affairs of Its kind that
bad been called to the attention or
tho officers In recent years. Once
during his recilnl, District Attorney
Neuner pointed his linger at the
aged deicmlnut and remarked: "If I
ever hear or any more trouble be
tween you anil your neighbors, I will
in on baud to prosecute."
Following tho explanation or the
district attorney. Judge Hamilton
reprimanded tho prisoner at some
length, and referred to his acts as
uncalled for and criminal In their
nature. "The assault charged against
yon appears to be surrounded by ag
gravated circ tiuiHtnnccs," said Judge
1 1 i it j 1 1 1 it . "and it Is the duty of this
court lo Impose a sentence which
will have a tendency lo guide you in
your future conduct." Judge Ham
ilton then imposed a fine of $2.10 on
the defendant, claiming that he wag
unable to pay the amount of tho fine,
Mr. .Mode was taken to tho sherirr's
"Mice anil later placed In the county
Jail. The defendant was nlmost
j ov-ivi as a result of tho sentence,
