AT REST.

Anna Laura Duncan, daughter Of
Charles S. and Lydia NJ. Duncan,
Centralia, died Sunday December Sth
of quick consumption the result of hip
disease of long standing. She was 16
years, months and % days old. Had
been a great sufferer for IA years with
hip trouble She was patient during
her many years of pain and confined to
the house most of her lifetime. To her,
life had few charms. She possessed a
christian character that was noticeable
to all those who came in contact with
her. Death was welcomed by her for
with it she knew rest would come. She
had many young friends who became
attached to her for she possessed a
loving disposition. She was the recipi-
ent of many kind favors while living,
and after death was showered with
flowers as token Of their esteem.
The funeral service took place Tues
day afternoon at Unity Church, Rev. J.
R. Rey nolds officiating.

Wisconsin Telephone Company.

Since printing the first and last pages
Of this issue A. W. Rumsey, manager Of
the above exchange, handed us postal
card this morning which reads:
''From January LIST, 1896, and until
further notice, rates for service in this
exchange will be, viz: For business
single line s. per month";; , parties S1.75;
3 or parties S1.50; ) or parties S1.25.
For residences single line $3.50, :
parties 1.33; 3 or t parties SLY; > or T
parties S1.00."
This is the same old bluff they have
worked in Wausau and Merrill. 1t did
not work there and should not work
here. Another exchange is what we
want and if the people appreciate their
best interests they will not be check
mated by such a notice. Such a notice
means nothing. They say until
further notice" these rates will be in
force How about changing them back
to old rates in Il short time. OF course
they will. We don't believe for a
moment that they can catch the people
of the twins with such chat. Push the
new exchange right along and when
completed the people will never regret
the step taken. Wausau people are
delighted with the change and tell us
we will never regret the move.

"PRACTICE VS.. PROFESSION"

Was the heading of an article in the
last issue of the Centralia Enterprise
under which they took occasion to
criticise two Of the Republican county
officels-the clerk and treasurer. While
part Of that criticism is justiiable and
merited the main trouble with the two
officers mentioned was in the main that
they assumed to understand the work
| thoroughly when in fact they only had
partial knowledge of it. Instead of
employing eX-oficers or experts to
start them right they believed them
selves capable of performing the duties
without such aid. As to the treasurer
we understand that he has not kept his
funds separate as he should and mixed
the account of different funds together,
while the clerk failed to charge all the
fees chargeable in the redemption and
certificate accounts. Both officers, we
are assured by the Finance committee
are honest as the following taken from
their report shows:
| "While there is no evidence of
misapplication of any of the county
funds or its interests apparent, there is
ample evidence of errors Of entry
discovered by us in the limited time we
have had to make examination, these
errors in entry seeming to be lack of
understanding on the part of the
present clerk and treasurer to properly
keep the books and papers in conform
ity with the heretofore established
methods"
1t will be seen by the above report
that had the officers above referred to
engaged the proper men to start them
right and give them the proper insight
no such report would have been
necessary The Finance committee are
now doing what should have been done
by the new officers and for that reason
alone the criticism made is proper. The
Republicans of the county are not
inclined to shield their officers in any
position in which they are to blame. 1t
is to be hoped with little care from
now on there will be no occasion for
| further criticism. The Republicans are
opposed to the county being obliged to
pay out 5 or hundred dollars each
year in checking up county officers.
| The Finance committee ought to be
able to do such work in a few days.

Bureau of immigration.

The committee recently appointed by
the chairman of the county board Geo.
H. Smith, in compliance with the
resolution passed by said Board author
izing the creation of such committee,
consisting of Messrs. Geo. II. Smith,
Geo. L. Williams, F. A. Cady, P. n.
Christensen, and W. H. Bowden, met
on call of the chairman in this city
Tuesday. They elected I. A. Taylor,
secretary, and authorized him to pre-
pare data and information for pamph-
let to be issued showing the advantages
of Wood county. AS soon as this work
is accomplished by him he will call
another meeting of the committee to
pass upon said matter when it will be
printed anG distributed as an adver-
tisement of the advantages of our soil,
water, timber, &C., and the prices
thereof.
Too much care cannot be given in the
preparation of this matter. 1t wants to
be wholly reliable and in no manner
fictitious. Our advantages will compare
favorably with the best counties in the
state.

TWO WARD SCHOOLS NEEDED.
Over Crowded Condition of our High
School.

We were present at Il meeting Tues
day evening in the city hail of members
of the School Board and teachers in
cur public schools. The object of this
combined session was for the purpose
of talking over the present and future
needs Of our public schools as seen
from the teachers standpoint. Prof. G..
Ford was the first speaker. He spoke
infinitely of the crowded condition of
the primary and intermediate depart
ments as we'll as the high school
room. He reported 50 pupils
in Miss Reeves Department.; 81 in
Miss Caldwell's department.; 50 in Miss
Barker's and Sin the high school room.
Some classes had as high as 10 pupils to
one recitation. In these foul depart
ments every seat was occupied many of
them with two IN a seat and in some
cases three in seat. In other words
the whole building is crowded. He
had chart there which he had pre-
pared showing that out Of 30 high
schools in the state which he had heard
from that our high school was de-
fective inapparatus and had the greatest
number of pupils per teacher.
He notified the school board that two
new ward school buildings should be
provided for and that two more teachers
be engaged to commence work immedi-
ately. He also asked for a reference
library for the high school room and
apparatus to cost about 5000 for use in
physics and physiology.
Theodore Brazeau, assistant, and Miss
Ellen Minahan, teacher in the Grammar
pariment, addressed the Board as to
needs in their work. Another meeting
will be held in the near future when
the other teachers will emphasize the
needs in their several departments.
This meeting was essential and we are
glad these matters have been brought
to public knowledge. The school Board
should lose no time i'll remedying the
evils now existing as well as to provide
more school room by the erection of
one or two ward schools. Educational
needs are the most important and
should not be neglected.

Nekoosa COng'l Church.

Mr.. A. W. Patton, Of Appleton, one
of the larger stockholders in the
Nekoosa Paper Co., who completed
and furnished throughout the First
Congregational Church building in that
village at cost of about $1,000, decided
it or transferred it to the trustees of
that society on Monday. It was agreed
st the time Of its erection that if the
Congl society would keep it up, orga-
nize permanent society and employ a
regular pastor for period Of about 2
years it would be decided to them. The
society has been kept up and is in a
prosperous condition. They now have
the deed and the property belongs to
that society. The donation is greatly
appreciated and the members Of the
church are delighted
