Mrs. N. C. Rukke and John K.
Olson, members of the school board
for the Rukke district were in town
last week and made complaint
against some parties in that district
to compel them to send their chill
dren to the public school. 1t seems
that there Is private school in the
neighborhood where the scholars are
taught in the Norwegian language
and the parents refuse to send the
children to the regular county
school. The school board propose
to have the children attend the pro-
per school and made the complaint
as before stated. We print the fol-

help out those who are still inclined

Wisconsin Pearls i'm Great Favor.


The following from the last number
Of Harper's Bazaar shows somewhat
the high regard in which Wisconsin
pearls are held in the fashionable
world:
"Another fad in jewels is the wear
ing of Wisconsin pearls in rings.
These pearls are from Sugar river,
Wisconsin, but they rival the orien tai
pearls in many ways. We should feel
proud of this native product, that has
become so fashionable, and they are
worthy of admiration. They are all
rare colors, pink, black and bronze
tints not possessed by the oriental
pearls, and altogether they form a
most beautiful setting. They are set
together in pairs and threes, some
times five small ones in a row, and
again they are encircled with small
diamonds which act admirably to set
off the natural tints of the two
pearls. These rings may be pur-
chased in all styles at prices ranging
from fifty dollars for the single pearls
to ten times as much for the more
elaborate styles"

A Good Endorsement.

The Dunn county asylum, which
has just been completed at total
cost of over $4,000, was opened on
Tuesday, Feb. 9, for the inspection of
the public. 1t is situated about one
mile east of the city of Menomonie,
and it is undoubtedly one of the finest
asylum buildings in the state. The
Dunn County News, Of Feb. II, in a
lengthy description of the asylum
says:
Much credit is due to the supervis-
ing architect, Mr.. John Charles, for
the watchful care he has given to the
work of construction. The plans of
the building and its complete equip
ment testify as to his professional
ability as an architect and his skill as
a builder. Painstaking and faithful
in the highest degree, he deservedly
won the confidence of the commits
sion, and proved faithful to every
trust they reposed in him.
