What Is The Doodle Book?

So many people..have been misinform-
ed concerning the doodle Book and
have been made to think it means
something very bad that it may be
worth while to explain just what is
meant by it.
The laws of Wisconsin provide that
salaries and wages of officials and en-
ployees shall be paid monthly, that is
at the end of the month. Now it
sometimes has happened that some one
about the capitol needed a part of
his wages pretty badly before the end
of the month, and went to the
treasurer and asked an advance five
dollars or ten dollars on his months
wages. and the treasurer has accom-
modated. This has been done fire.
quently for years. 1t was done in
Upbam's administration, in Peek's
administration, in Rusk's administra-
ton and probably in every other adj
ministration. No one lost ANYTHING
by it. The treasurers simply occa-
sionally paid out money a few days
before it was due, as an accommoda-
ton, when the strict letter of the law
would have required them to keep it
living in their vaults until the end of
the month
There probably is not school dis
trict. town or county in the state
whose treasurer has not at times done
the same thing.
Now on account of the law of the
state requiring payments to be made
at the end of the month, state treas
urers have been in the habit of keep
ing an account of all advance pay
ments such as given above on a pri-
waite pass book or journal and not en-
tering up on the regular books until

Mr.. c. j. Smith delivered an able
address in Reeds opera house last
Tuesday night. 1t ought to have
been heard by more people. Mr..
Smith is former Grant county boy
who is making his mark in the world
and Grant county is proud of him.
His advice is, and it is backed by
good logic too, to support republican
policies at every election and to vote
every time for the men who stand for
and will fight for the same principles
you hold. Good advice.

All of the hold-oyer senator's, six
teen in number, are republicans. OF
the seventeen to be elected the repub-
lieans are likely to elect ten or twelve.
The republicans will therefore need
TO elect about forty Of the assembly
men in order to have majority on

States senator. The prospects are
that instead of electing only forty
members of the assembly, that they
win elect from seventy to eighty.

Grant county has ambitious sons
who will want place and power in
state and national affairs some of
these days. If old Grant should re-
pudiate the state and national admin
istrations by going democratic this
fall it would put off the day when any
one from this county could expect
any marked political preferment.

THE HERMON STREET FIRE.
A Difference of Opinion as to Whether it
Was incendiary.

Many theories are suggested as to the
origin of the Hermon street fire, Friday
night. The finding of a roll of mating
ablaze so far removed from the section
of the building in which the flames
originated and near which no other fire
could be found, gives color to the theory
that the fire may have been the work
of an incendiary.
Aid to the state fire marshal Robert
e. Mott visited the scene Saturday
morning, and, after looking over the s-
tuation and testing the inflammable
qualities of the mating, is inclined to
the opinion that the building was set
afire.
Assistant Engineer c. o. Lamb thinks
the roll of mating being afire looks
questionable, while Capt. Williamson is
inclined to the opinion that the mating
was gnited from the heat on the floor
beneath, which was so intense as to
blister the paint on a door at the other
end of the factory from where the
blaze started

between $4,000 and $4,000. William II.

NEARLY 5000 NETTED.
Final Reports of the Successful Fair for
the Jubilee Fountain Fund.

At the meeting of the subcommittee
of the British Jubilee Memorial Associa-
tion, which was held at the house Of
Mrs. David Roche, corner of Cambridge
and Southbridge streets, Friday evening,
reports from the various committees
which had charge of the arrangements
for the jubilee fair held recently in Hor-
ticultural Hall, were read, and the net
profits of the two nights sales were re-
ported as $S19.S0. The total receipts as
reported were S11SS 90, and the expenses
1868 20. With the $1,000 already collected
by the general association and now in
bank, the total collections for the memo
rial fountain to be present to the city
of Worcester by it's British-American
residents, amout to $2300.
The estimated cost of the fountain, ac-
cording to the Iverness design, is over
$4,000, and it is hoped to raise the bal
ance by holding grand field day on the
Sutton lane ground during the summer
and a fair in the fall, or by other plans
which may appear equally promising.
Nearly all the money smade from the
two days fair has been paid in and the
remainder will be handed to the treas
urer during the coming week. Thurs
day a meeting of the general associa-
tion will be held, when the sub-commit-
tee will make it's report and plans for
raising the balance will be adopted.
The Princess Alice Lodge, d. of ST. G.,
were far in the lead in the returns made
to the committee. The receipts from
their booth were $164 26 of which $107
was made from the doll contest alone
The prize, a $50 French doll, was won by
Miss May Guilliam, and to Miss Eliza
beth Ayrton belongs the credit of col
lecting the full amount for the lodge
The contributions from the booths of
the other societies were as follows:
Marines, 4.50; Sir Knights of ST.
George, $29. 50; St Margaret's Guild, st.
Matthew's Church, $13. 49, Busy Bees,
SITS; Scottish ladies Gypsy camp,
$40; Veritas Society of st. Matthew s.
SIT go; Highland Associates, 81, ,28; gem
eral refreshments netted $40; ice
cream, $35; ticket contest, $91 40; girls
bicycle contest, $25 20; tea set contest
(won by Mrs Roche), $S3. .S5; desk con-
test, $82 65; boys bicycle contest, $75 80; |;
diamond ring contest, $3.50. 80.
Considering the fact that the fair was
of but two nights duration, the commit
tee takes to itself considerable credit
for it's success. The committee COM
prised Duncan H. Mcleod (charmain)
Uriah Hinsley (vice-chairman), Miss
Maude H. Parker, Miss Fannie Woolfen-
den and William Tolley Gsecretaries).
Linsey Somerville was the first secre-
tary of the committee, but, after eff
cient service, was compelled to resign.

PAPERS ARE NOT ALL IN.

circulated among the Polytechnic In
stitute students, tc ascertain how much
money could be raised for the main
tenance of athletics during the coming
season. 1t was expected that the papers
would all be passed in to the treasurer
of the athletic association Saturday
noon. Some of the students who have
had papers neglected to do this, so it
is impossible to state exactly how much
has been raised.

the funds would be sufficient to defray
the expenses Of track athletics and foot

Chicago, Feb. 19.-For about 80 minutes
today the wheat market was the scene of
more excitement than has been witnessed
since the bull campaign in wheat started
months ago. May wheat at one time sold
at 109, the highest point reached during the
recent December squeeze, and an advance
of 51a cents over yesterdays figure. July
showed equal strength, bringing 94h when
May was at its highest point.
The market was strong from the start,
on confirmation of the reported sale in
Europe of 100000 bushels OF Letter s
wheat and on reports of1the shipment of
$4,000 bushels of Letter wheat at Duluth,
all rail to the seaboard, About an hour
from the close an attempt to protect
weekly "calls'' brought out the fact that
the market was practically bare of offer
