rare sweet flower, native, but found
only in particular localities. 1t was the
first flower to greet the homesick though
stout hearted pilgrims at Plymouth in
the early spring after the long and
dreary winter IN their bleak and strange
New England home. 1t is a fayo1ite in
literature as we'll as with all who know
it. The trillium known as the bath lilly
is a favorite with every school clild,
the large blue flag, the feur de lis of
France a lovely, lowlv lily like bloom
with most perfect blending of blue and
yellow. The flower of the hop has
good reasons for bearing q favorite with
many. Without it the world famous
"Wisconsin best beer that makes Wis
consin conspicuous at the worlds fair
might lack one element, thousands of
gentlemen might choose the hop for a
state flower, and while it helps make
bread all women must honor it. The
white clover is indigenous in this state
and its merits are many, our golden
butter and creamy cheese and fragrant
white honey are all indebted to it for
their superiority. Our cattle find rich
and wholesome nutriment in 1t, fresh
or dried. 1t brings health to the blood
Impoverished system, it wreathes the
brows of our little girls at play, and
kindly covers the graves of our dead,
break the stubborn glebe and soon pure
and sweet and fragrant white clover
will appear.
Some of our most lovely, most COM
mon flowers like the wild rose, golden
violet, aster, &c. might be national
flowers but we as state have no special
reasons to lay claim to them as repre-
sentative flowers. They are indigenous
from north to south from east to west
in all parts Of America.
We are indebted to the Torch of
Liberty for a list of Wisconsin flowers
to which we would add red and white
clover, hop, mandrake, sweet William,
red paint brush, thistle, woodbine and
if it were admissible we would like to
see the sumach that is such factor in
our gorgeous autumn effects. In Cali
fornia the wonderous beauty of the
pionsetta is said and sung by poet or
writer while the flower as botanists say
it is flower, would seem to the I'M
cultured eye merely a succession of
brilliant red leaves in irregular order.

The first of May has been for long
time a peculiarly happy time for child

slush, and general discomfort the
fairies hied themselves to sheltered
spots where the May flower bloomed
and gathered bright fragrant blossoms,
to fill tiny fancifully made baskets
which were mysteriously placed at the
doors of some favored friend. A dainty
loving souvenir of the first of May. 1t

If MarshfieId finds it stands no sure
chance in the race, we may count on
her generous support in the matter
in securing for Wood county the
normal school, The $4,000 offered to
secure it there would wisely be turned
in our aid and the facilities offered in
return be generous recompense in an
interest that grows beyond computing.
1t will take money to bring it here but
it Will bring money with it, To the
merchant it brings an added list OF
customers; to the dealer in provisions a
much greater demand; to the boarding
house keepers a sure and safe invest
ment in building, improving and fur
nishing homes; to the business men
seeking investments, promise of occu-
pancy for new cottages built, so every
branch of trade will be benefited by
the addition of several score of we'll to
do reliable money spenders who bring
money 10 the cities for individual use
while the State pays the expenses OF
the institution to residents and business
men here.
AS the wheel of progress begins to
roll, let every one turn in and help,
each man in Wood county, each woman
and child has a practical interest in
making an educational center Of the
Twin Cities and 1t can only be done by
persistent and active work. Let us not
let the present opportunity pass in
thoughtless or careless Indifference. 1t
is not always safe to keep quiet and let
a thing work itself out. AS an evidence
of bow great benefit it is considered to
have normal in town, note the
amount other cities are glad to offer to
secure it. It is said that Stevens Point,
Portage county has already subscribed
100000 Winona bounded her city for
$4,000 Superior and Ashland offer $50,

we reiterate to our loyal citizens.
There is 10 need 10 urge upon our
citizens the desirability of having ole

show the advantages of the twin cities
as 4 location last week, and are alive 10
the interests of the county in agitating
the subject as of supreme Importance.
All We want is intelligent effort, the
earnest zeal necessary to secure great
things, and concerted action on the part
of city and county officials backed by
individual efforts to secure to ourselves
this inestimable boon, but effort must be
practically made. A. site must be look
ed for, a systematic plan must be de-
cided upon the public given a chance to
contribute toward the requisite require
ments of the enterprise. Quite num-
ber of very desirable sites are on the
market, others that doubtless could be
secured for a fair consideration.

Card from DR.. Guinan.

''The Shoot Trustees seem deter
mined to waste $4,000 in repairing
the old shell of shoot house. -
Morning News July 90.
"A heavy taxpayer Of Carson yes
terday resented the repairing OF the
school house in a forcible way.
Somebody suffered from a heavy
blow, from the aforesaid taxpayer
fist. Same paper.
In view of the fact that the above
mentioned paper is edited oy a
woman. it is unpleasant for me to
say ANYTHING of disparaging nature
in reply.
As there are few, however, who
read that paper and might be mislsd
by what they see in it, it seems very
proper that the items quoted should
receive a reply.
When The shool house is repaired
according to plans and specifications,
it will virtually be a new school house,
and better and prettier one than
could be constructed for $4,000.
In all probability Prof. Howe
knows as much about a school house,
as all of the carping critics in Carson
combined, who are iEnorantly or
dishonesty trying to make the tax
payers think that $4,000 of their
money is about to be squandered.
He said that the building will be
a commodious, well planned and
beautiful structure.
In regard to the second item, [
will say from its wording, | infer
that the News approves of"the heavy
blow from the heavy fist"
| know nothing of the particulars
of the affair except that heard that
one of the school trustees was struck
yesterday; and if l can place any de-
pendence in the News, it was be-
cause the trustees are, in compliance
with the law, about to have the
school house repaired.
l want it distinctly understood,
that if the trustees are deserving such
treatment, l wish to shoulder tho
whole blame.
1t is altogether probable that the
News stands alone as an approver of
the inflicted blow.
However, should be mistaken in
such an hypothesis, be it distinctly
understood, that l appoint myself,
as a committee, with whom all such
disaffected and heavy taxpayers, are
respectfully requested to transact
their business,

It was held that the Worlds Fair
would take good many people away
from the lake this season. But the
puessors were all wrong, Business
has been very brisk and the atten-
dance large. The explanation is that
a good many people who are on their
| way to the Fair from San Francisco
go to the lake first and get a good
rest, SO as to tighten the fatigue of a
trip East.
Others who don't expect to attend
the Fair until Fall concluded to go
