MONEY FOR TEACHERS.
The Payment Will Be Slow, Owing to Short
Funds,

The Payment Will Be Slow, Owing to Short
Funds.
From present indications, says the
Constitution, the school teachers of
the state will not receive their checks
for the last quarter as promptly as
they did the last payment.
The financial statements from the
county commissioners are beginning
to come in at the state school com
missloners' office, but it is probable
the checks will not be sent out until
the first of December.
This is on account of the lack Of
funds IN the hands of Treasurer Speer.
The checks were sent out the last
quarter as soon as the financial state
ments were received, but the treasury
was in much more healthy condition
than now.
The treasurer is allowed thirty days
after the receipt of the statements to
hand over the money. Last quarter he
did not take this time. 1t will be nee
essary this time, however. to wait the
thirty days and possibly longer.
Every teacher will be paid, however,
and no uneasiness need be felt along
this line, as it is merely question of

SPOONER FOR SENATOR.

Their Favorite.

Their Favorite.
Madison, Wis, Jan. 15.-The highest
honor which the Republicans of Wis
consin have ever had to bestow upon
a favorite leader went to John G. Spoon
er Wednesday under condition and cir
cumstances which added to the measure
of esteem and confidence implied. And
the much coveted honor was accepted
by the recipient In manner becoming
to it's dignity and to the gracious gen.
erosity with which it was proffered.
Never before in the history of the state
was a United States senator chosen ex-
cepting to succeed himself without
contest In his own party; and never
before since the Republican party was
born has so large a number Of Repub-
licans been found in one legislature
wherewith to start a contest. Probably
none of those who applauded the pro-
ceedings will live to see another joint
legislative caucus with 119 votes for
any one party out of a possible 133 and
they will be a long time dead before
the chairman OF another such joint Gus
Gus will announce after a rollcall "118
votes cast--11S votes for" any one cam
didate. That was the kind Of entertain
ment which John c. Spooner's friends
afforded him Wednesday night.
