Good Words for Supt. Emery.

New England Journal of Education:
State Superintendent John @. Emery
of Wisconsin is making great success
of the administration of education. He
is native Of the state He taught his
first school i'm rural district) thirty
two years ago. After experience in the
common schools and an academy, he
became county superintendent, which
position he resigned for principalship
at Grand Ra pids. His chief work as a
teacher was as principal Of the high
school of Fort Atkinson, where, for
sixteen years, he was one of the notable
teachers and educational administrators
of the state. He was one of the most
active and influential members of the
State Teachers association. In 1889 he
was unanimously elected principal of
the River Falls normal school. Here
he won national fame among those
whose eyes are out for men of brains,
spirit and discretion. His election as
state superintendent gave great salts
faction in educational circles.

CONTINUED RECOGNITION.

Messrs. Theo w. Brazeau and Frank
Compton were honored at Madison
Tuesday evening by being chosen as
two of three members to represent the
Philomathian debating society in the
annual University joint debate next
year which will be contested with
Athenae. The highest Literary "per-
simmons" have been plucked very
numerously in the past by boys from
our city and the names of Grand Rapids
members in old Philomathia have
become generally recognized as stand
ards for ability and hard work along the
argumentative line. Theo. Brazeau for
the second time will represent his
society in Joint debate, and was unani-
mously elected closer a rather unusual
occurrence, in which he takes pride
1t means necessarily that he is to return
to Madison next year. Frank Compton
has been a conscientious worker and
goes into the test with promises of a
bright effort We wish the boys victory
and no doubt Theodore will labor
especially hard to regain the laurels
taken from him by Athenae a year ago.

The Incompatible Chicago s Alton.

In these United States of America at
least, and it is highly probable that
throughout the entire world, the
official record for the safety and well
fare of its passengers made and main
tanned by the Chicago & Alton Railroad
cannot be surpassed if indeed it can be
equaled.
Over its completely rock ballasted,
dustless roadway between Chicago and
Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis
Chicago and Peoria and ST. Louis and
Kansas City, eighteen magnifcently
appointed express trains are run on
uniformly fast time every day. But in
spite of this heavy passenger traffice
the official records show that from
December 4, 1879, to December +, 1890,
eleven years, there was no passenger,
who was in place as passenger, killed
on Chicago d Alton trains. Moreover
there was not a passenger seriously
injured, to the extent of losing limb,
an eye or a member of any kind during
that time.
During the entire period of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition in
Chicago, when it was not an uncommon
thing to find the usual passenger traffic
of the road increased two, three and
lOul -Ioiu, dHu opooiol oACuioIoIl tIdlHS
and extra sections of regular trains
were very MANY, there was not an
accident of any kinda most remark
able record.
Besides beng Americas most popular
railroad, the Chicago & Alton is the
Pioneer Dining Car Line, the Pioneer
Pullman Sleeping Car Line and the
Pioneer Palace Reclining Chair Car
Line, and the best line from Chicago to
Peoria Illinois, Denver, Colorado and
Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Be sure that your ticket reads over
the Chicago & Alton Railroad, when its
matchess and direct lines can form
the whole, or even a part of your
journey.

NEIGHBORlNG NOTES.
Taken From Our Exchanges and Con-
densed for Local Readers.

Yenowines News Milwaukee: A
meeting of ladies' interested in foundinga
chair of English literature in Lawrence
was held Thursday afternoon
at the residence Of Mrs. l.. NJ. Alex
ander, corner of Grand avenue and
street Mrs. Myra Good
win Plantz and Mrs. J. S. Davis of
Appleton made addresses in behalf of
the project and solicited subscriptions
for the endowment fund. 1t is promised
that only women shall occupy the chair.
Lawrence university was the first
college in the United States from which
woman graduated. A large number
of ladies were present and 5000 in
Subscriptions were quickly secured, the
largest amount being given by Mrs. D.
G. Ormsby, who subscribed $1,000. The
remainder was in sums of 500 each.
The fund is now over $1,000, So 900 hav-
ing been raised by Mines. Plantz and
Davis before coming to Milwaukee.
Sums Of any amount will be gladly re-
ceived. On Sunday morning Mrs.
Davis will talk Oh "Higher Education"
and Mrs. Plantz on Living in the
Future" at the Grand Avenue NJ. L.
church.
Stevens Point Gazette: The tele-
phone war in Merrill has been waging
for some days past, the scene of battle
having been transferred from Wausau,
where the home company and the Wis
consin people made things interesting
for one another during several weeks.
The Merrill citizens have also formed a
local organization, the two towns are
connected by home enterprise, and
there is consequently no love coming
from the great Badger monopoly.
Grand Rapids having formed home
company, will no doubt experience
some of the pleasures of opposition be-
fore long, and we would not be sur
prised if other towns followed suit
Yes, Glennon, the city Of Stevens
Point should join with the other cities
of the Wisconsin river valley and have
telephone exchange of their own.
The newspapers should agltate the
question. The users Of phones in
your city are paying too much for the
service rendered. Look into the
matter.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-02-13
Enterprise VS.. County Clerk.

We are not prepared to say that the
allegations made against the County
Clerk by the Centralia Enterprise are
true or not true Before we commend
or condemn the clerk we shall await
the action of the Finance Committee in
whose charge this matter stands. Their
report will be authority. Nothing else
can be relied upon.
If the County Clerk has misappro-
priated funds of his office to his own use
and been dishonest IN the handling Of
said funds, no one will be more ready
than we to condemn him for it. The
fact that he is Republican does not
shield him in our mind. But we have
no evidence yet that be is defaulter.
The fact that the Enterprise charges
such a condition does not make it so,
and may cost them many dollars before
they get out Of it. If the committee
fail to find and report defalcatlon as
charged by tie Enterprise they will
find themselves with a suit for libel
upon their hands. If fhe committee
reports the condition charged by the
Enterprise then we shall join with
them in condemning the defaulter.
The County Clerk admits that he has
made some mistakes and failed to make
the necessary charge of fees III certain
cases for which the county would hold
him liable, with this knowledge he
did the honorable part in making loan
to cover the deficiency as it might be
found to exist by the committee.
If the Enterprises charges should
prove true it will be the first time in
the history of Wood county that a
Republican has proven himself unfaith-
full to the trust imposed upon
him by his party which cannot be
said of the Democratic admin
istrations Of the past. Until the
Finance committee make their report
in May we shall hope that the charges
made by the Centralia Enter prise are
untrue and that the basis for them was
simply due to the errors made by the
clerk
One thing that strikes us singularly IN
this connection is, how anxious the
Enterprise is to have ksycki, Repub-
lican, defaulter, and when Samuel
Young and (honest) Peter Bever demo-
Gratis were behind $4,000 and $4,000 they
were very quiet upon the subject. The
principle trouble with our neighbor
is that Democrat can do most any
thing and mum is the word, but when
Republican errs hell is to pay.
Neighbor be consistent above all things.
The Republican party Of Wood
county is perfectly willing to stand a
comparison of officials with their
Democratic brethren. Nothing to lose
by comparison. The Republicans will
surely not renominate a man whom
they know to be a defaulter as the
Democrats did few years ago.

A Good Old Age.

Was the subject or title Of Rev. VIM.
Kilburne's sermon Sunday morning.
A large congregation turned oui to hear
him. Among those present we note
A. d. Tenant 90 years of age; John
Rablin so years of age and S. II. Downs
Sc years Of age. They were all seated
Immediately in front Of the pastor who
appeared to apply his remarks to them.
They were attentive listeners and
agreed with the pastor lii what he
claimed were essential qualities to gain
old age. At the close Of the service
Mr.. Tenant made a few remarks. He
said it gave him pleasure to be able to
get out among his friends and neighbors
again. 1t gave him pleasure and de-
light to look into their faces once more.
He could remember back in the early
history of the Congregational Church
that those who were now actively in
charge Of affairs were children then
He hoped that God would continue to
bless them in their good work.
At the close of service a general hand
shake and congratulations were ex-
tended the oldest representatives. The
exercises all through were very i'm
pressiye.

Wr. Fiawiey smith.

\ large audience greeted the above
speaker at the opera house in this city
Friday evening to hear his lecture on
"What to read and how to read it"
Mr., Smith was little known here and
made great hit. He was engaged by
Prof. G. Ford, principal of our public
schools who knew of his ability and
how his lectures were greatly sought
after. The speaker was not long in
making friends of bis audience. He is
a great admirer Of the poet, James
Whitcomb Riley, whom he recommends
highly as among the leading poets of
this country. For dialect poetry Mr.
Riley leads all others in his Judgment
He rendered several choice selections
from Riley's book Of poems to prove
his statements. His lecture and read
ings were we'll received and greatly
enjoyed by those who heard them.
Mr.. Smith, is thoroughly practical in
all he says and does, and is an artist in
his line.
