Kind Words from Stevens Point.

The Board of Regents of Nor
NAL Schools is to be congratulated
on its action ordering the school
at River Falls, destroyed by fire a
few weeks ago, rebuilt. This
action was taken at a meeting
held in Madison, Wednesday after
noon. A strong fight was made
by citizens of Eau Claire and
Chippewa Falls to have the school
located at Eau Claire, and Regents
Ostrander, of Superior, and
Brown, OF Marinette, favored that
city and spoke in it's behalf. All
the others favored River Falls,
and a resolution to have the
school built there was carried by
a vote of s to Q. Those who voted
in favor of River Falls, were
Messrs. Coe, Fruit. Jenkins, Lord
McDill, Emery, Pittlekow and
Thompson. I'll. A. Taylor, of
Madison, and President Parker
made addresses in behalf of the
fortunate town.
When Regent Lord and Presi-
dent Parker returned from Madi-
son, Thursday evening, they were
met at the River Falls depot by
hundreds of enthusiastic citizens
and escorted to a public hall,
headed by brass band. Here adj
dresses of thanks and congratula-
tions were made, and the blowing
Of whistles, ringing of bells and
Joyous shouts of citizens told how
truly grateful the people felt; as
grateful, indeed, as did the citizens
of Stevens Point, July Dist, when
the news came over the wires
from Madison that the 9th Normal
school would be located here, and
we should not be un mindful of
those who fought the good fight
and came forth Victorious
Stevens Point Gazette.
Thanks, brother Glennon, for
the expressions of friendliness for
onr favored city.

Regent OStrander's Position.

If the interview in the Leader
is to be credited, the position
taken by Regent Ostrander, of
West Superior, upon the recon
struction of the River Falls Nor
NAL school, is not creditable to
his sense of honor and fair play.
He there expresses a willingness
to cheat River Falls out of the
school for the purpose of giving it
to Marinette, because the regent
from that locality worked valiant
ly to help West Superior once
upon a time. Such dishonesty,
combined with such rapaclty,
should not be countenanced. 1t
is unworthy of Mr.. Ostrander' S
mind and heart, and his friends
sincerely trust he has been mis-.
quoted. 1t is right to square one s
debts of honor in clean coin, but
it cannot be deceptly. done with
stolen jewels. It is not manly to
rob Regent Lord to pay Regent
Brown. Superior showed a bad
spirit few years ago in taking
away River Falls local Regent.
Would it now manifest a worse
spirit in betraying desire to rob
it of the school entirelyf We
trust not.-Star & Times.

Catholic Church Items.

All the young peopleaare cordially
invited to come to the club Saturday

gregate for sociability.

will be held at 1870. The subject of
the sermon will be: "The Latin
Language-Why used in the Liturgy

ignorance and prediudice prevalent
among the uniformed. After the
service all are invited to repair to the
Church Hall" where warm dinner
will be spread by theladies and where
people can meet for closer friendship
and acquaintance.
In the evening at 7:3O the sermon
will be: "There is only one God

Revelation" Every Christian ought
to De able to prove this against
modern infidelity. Come and be
instructed.
Before the evening sermon the fol-
lowing question from the question

condemned for honoring the Blessed
Virgin so much-How do you justify
such practice from the Bibley
Everyone of the Catholic church
fair tickets will draw a valuable prize.
We can afford to do this from the
fact that nearly all the prizes will be
donated. Upwards of 100 prizes ex-
coed in value the purchase price OF the
ticket. We kindly appeal to all for
their liberal patronage.

gotiation than that 1t should be accom-
panied by hostile demonstrations on the
part of the United States hence the dis
position Of the president is to give Spain
fair opportunity to secure an armistice
with the Cubans, and to allow her a
reasonable time in which to come to an
understanding with the insurgents.
1t can be said upon high authority
that there has been no abatement of
the presidents intention to see that the
war is terminated, when it is closed,
upon terms that will render the Cubans
practically free people. 1t is not be-
lteved that they would accept anything
less, nor that the Americans would be
satisfied if we should encourage a set
tlement that would not be acceptable
to the Cubans. If there should now be
an armistice, it would be with the con-
cession made by Spain at the instance
of this country, that negotiations
should be opened Immediately with the
insurgents looking to the establishment
of a permanent peace upon these terms.
1t has long been the hope Of the ad-
ministratton to bring Spain to the point
of making a proposition of this char
acter, as the basis of a settlement most
satisfactory to all parties, and 1t is
hoped from Spain's attitude that this
time has arrived The friends of the
administration feel that the situation is
a very delicate one, and that much will
depend upon the course congress may
pursue In the meantime the president
will on Wednesday send in his message,
asking that an appropriation be made
for the aid Of the destitute Cubans.

Washington, March 27.-The Associ-
ated Press presents herewith COM
plete abstract of the court of inquiry
which investigated the wrecl1ing of the
battleship Maine. This abstract is made
from the report itself, access to which
was obtained today. despite official Sc
crecy unparalleled in the handling of
official papers. The report is made up
Of eight parts, as follows:
Flrst-The court finds that at the
time of the explosion, the battleship
Maine was lying in 51a to fathoms of
water.
Second-The discipline aboard the ship
was excellent; everything slowed ac-
cording to orders ammunition, guns
stores, etc. The temperature of the
magazines at p. m. was normal ex-
cept in the after 10-inch magazine, and
that did not explode.
Third-The explosion occurred at $40
o'clock on the evening of Feb. 15. There
were two explosions, with a very short
interval between them; the ship lifted
on the first explosion.
Fourth-The court can form no de-
finite opinion of the condition of the
wreck from the divers evidence.
Fifth-Technical details of wreckage
from which the court deduces that a
mine was exploded under the ship, on
the port side
sixth-The explosion was due to no
fault of those on board.
Seventh-Opinion of the court stating
that the explosion of the mine caused
the explosion of two magazines.
Eighth-The court declares that it
cannot find evidence to fix responsibility.
The report is unanimous and is signed
by all the members of the court. 1t does
not refer to the existence or non-exist-
ence of mines in the harbor Of Havana,
except in the specific finding that a mine
was exploded under the ship, and the
opinion that the explosion of the two
magazines was caused by the explosion
Of mine.
The report as whole is formal, dis
passionate recital of facts. and bears the
stamp of that strict officialism which
marks naval procedure.
1t is brief not exceeding 1900 words,
and among the eight parts goes to the
