Herman and Fred Becker. Both very
good names. And as partisanship
ought not to cut any figure in any mu-
nicipal campaign, why should not one
or the other be elected without regard

(" That showed him made of the right

Chas. G. Vincent is home from Bris-

attend school.
According to that able weather pro-
phet, VIM Brewer, those fine days with
which we began this week were daz-

Sunday to view the marvellous gas we'll.

Last fall when bids were entered for
the contract for carrying the mails be-
tween this place and Camp Lake, Chas.
PageI, the present carrier, was under
bid three or four hundred dollars by q
spcculator from New York. Mr.. Pagel
is in every way prepared to carry the
mails, and did not dream OF opposition.
SO when the speculator came around
and offered him 800 year for doing
the work, he placed his cap on the side
of his bead and saucily told the specu-
lator TO 30 where it is not pleasant.
He soon found a man to take the job in
the person Of Oliver Newbury. We
sincerely hope that MIR. Newbury con-
sidered the subject well and consulted
his best interests in taking the contract,
but thirty cents a day is ridiculouSly
small compensation for the services re-
quired, and more could have been OBJ
tanned with but little effort. Many
would have liked to see the SPECTATOR
get the bad end Of the deal.

The school Board Meeting.

The school board held It's regular
monthly meeting Tuesday evening. 1t
had been given out that the shooting of
Willie Burg by Max Bauer was to be
investigated at this meeting, but no
word of it was mentioned before the
commissioners.
The first matter to come up was that
of allowing children from outside the
city limits to attend our schools. 1t
seems that in the moving about of some
families few children have been left in
school. while their parents now live
outside the city limits in fact. This
was brought to the principals atIen
ton and he was requested to see that
tuition was collected
Supt. E. l.. Grant then stated that
the high school alumni had held its last
meeting in Chicago and that it was de-
sirous of holding its next here in Keno
sha. In fact it had resolved SO to do at
its last meeting. This next meeting
will also be the nftieth anniversary of
the establishment of the free schools of
Wisconsin, this school being the first
one established. This fact ought to
make very special occasion of this
meeting. The Chicago members are
very anxious to come up on the 2
o'clock train on the last Friday in June,
which would be the 2Sth, and be able
to get back on the Sill train. A ban
quet and exercises should be given in
the high school building and Mr.. Grant
asked for the building for this occasion.
Com. jackson moved that the build
ing be granted for the occasion. The
motion carried.
After the reading of grist of bills
the matter of purchasing some books
for supplementary reading in some of
the grades came up and was disposed
of by the proper committee being au
thorized to purchase the books.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing the commissioners all went into
Miss RoWe's room and looked at the
door casing where the shot had entered
from the gun fired by Max Bauer when
Willie Burg was injured. The matter
was very informally discussed more as
Il matter of curiosity than otherwise. It
was found that the place where the shot
entered had been puttied up. Some of
the commissioners thought better re-
pairs than that should be made. That
was agreed to by Mr.. Bauer.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
qlires constitutional treatment. Halls

we'll KNOWN" remarked an alderman,
i" that every alderman on the present
board. with but one or two exceptions,
is heartily in favor Of DR.. Farr's can
didacy for the mayoralty. 1t has been
generally conceded the past year that
four of the aldermen we're A. P. AS.
and four anita. P. AS. According to
the talk we hear one would suppose
that the four A. p. AS. would be
against Farr unanimously. AS mat
ter of fact, however, only one is avow-
edly against him and the other will not
express himself either way. Without
division all the rest, whether repub-
leans or democrats, are in his favor [
know that is saying good word for
DR.. Farr and that [ am democrat,
but let me tell you that the democrats
are FAIR men this spring.

When the history of this springs
campaign is written just watch it and
see how closely it will compare with
with what | say now," remarked a man
today. I" If the republicans nominate
DR.. Farr this spring the democrats will
endorse him. IF they don't the demo-
Gratis will nominate him and in either
case his election is assured. just mark
my word on that"
AZ
Why don't you newspaper men trot
out some aldermanic nominees SO as to
give us some kind of an idea who we
are to vote for this spring." queried a
business man. Il am interested in
seeing board elected this spring that
will be reform board in every sense.
