THE difficulty at West Superior arising
from the selection of daily as the Off
cial paper of the city has caused closer
inspection of the law and it is found
there are comparatively few dailies III
the state which under the terms of the
law are eligible as official papers, Most
of the papers which publish a Sunday
edition do not publish on Monday and
many omit legal holidays. There has
also been failure to determine conclu
sively that the circulation of dailies Sc.
lected as official papers is or exceeds 300.
There are three conditions of eligibility.
a. The paper must have been pub
lished for at least two years.
o. 1t must have not less than 300
bona fide subscribers.
{3) 1t must have been published every
day for two years Sunday excepted.
Proceedings of city councils do not
CONT under the provisions of the law,
but ordinances do The publication of
notices in papers wanting the require
ments of the law is not illegal but pay
cannot be collected by the paper making
publication except for council proceed
ings and presumably, for these legal rates
of 6Oc per folio may be charged
The law was approved May ? and pub
lished May 4 SO that it became operative
ON the day asst named The Manitowoc
city council selected daily as an official
paper which had not been published the
requisite two years and without inquiry
as to circulation, but it did this before
the law in question went into effect and
The Herald, in consequence, is legally the
official paper rs the law does not apply
TO it. 1t cannot be chosen as official
paper next year unless the law will be
declared invalid which it doubtless will
be if "A test is made.
The bill was introduced by Assembly
man Jonas Gagnon of Two Rivers, prob
ably upon request. Many of the daily
papers of the state are considerably ex-
ercised over it and some of them find
they have been hoist by their own pc
tard

the right side of the leading question OF
the day restriction Of the trusts. So is
every one now that it is popular to he
so. Alger is ON this question the same
as the New Jersey applicant for school,
on the shape of the earth. When asked
by a committeeman whether he taught
that the earth is round or fat, he replied.
Wall, | teach that it is round or fiat

it both ways.
And yet there must have been time
when opposition to trusts was not so
unanimous Judging from their vigorous
development, and it does seem that with
such vigorous and general opposition
some obstacle other than talk would be
interposed to their continuance and de-
velopment. But the people like talk and
perhaps that is the reason it Is the ord
nance used against these combinations.

RUNAWAY RESULTS In DEATH.
MR.. W.T.. SPANN THROWN FROM
BOGGY ANDFATALLY INJURED.
Horse Frightened by Escaping Steam
at the Pumping Station of the
WaterwOrkS Company.

News was received in the city Sat-
urday morning that Mr.. w. F. Spann,
who was thrown from his buggy near
the pumping station of the Dawson
Waterworks Co. last Wednesday morn
ing. had died from his injuries.
Mr.. Spann and a neIghbor, Mr.. Geo.
P. Brightwell, left their homes IN
Webster county early Wednesday
morning to come to Dawson, and made
the trip, a distance of twenty-one miles,
without incident until they reached
the pumping station of the water
works. Here the horse they were drlv-
ing was frightened by escaping steam
from the engine used at the station
and began running at full speed,
throwing both Messrs. Spann and
Brlghtwell from the buggy as the
corner at the residence of Mr.. j. I.
Lee was turned.
Mr.. Brigntwell sustained only slight
Injuries, but an examination showed
that Mr.. Spann was unconscious and
seriously hurt. He was taken to the
residence of Mrs. Rumney, nearby,
and Drs. Dean and Lasseter summoned.
An examination by the physicians
showed that his spinal chord had been
broken and that there was a serious
wound on his forehead, the skin being
torn and loOsened so as to almost ad-
~ ,@aoptiOn IF QntIrn hand
der it.
Later in the day Mr.. Spann was re-
moved to the home of Mr.. W. IL. Mer-
Ger, where every attention was given
him until Thursday morning, when,
Notwithstanding the physicians advls'
ed against the trip, he insisted upon
being taken home. His body was CON-
pletely paralyzed from his shoulders
down. but his faculties Of mind and
speech were not affected, and, realiz-
ing his condition and probable short
tenure of life, stated that besides de-
sire to die at home he wished to give
directions about some business matters
before the end came. A twOhOrse
hack was procured and made as COM
Portable as possible with spring bed
and mattress, and lying upon this the
injured man, accompanied by Mr.. Mer,
Ger and a son and daughter, began the
journey home.
When Mr.. Mercer returned Friday
he reported that Mr.Spann was resting
easy and was seemingly cheerful, and
the news of his death while not sur
prise was not expected so early.
Mr.. Spann was successful farmer
and one of Webster countys most SUBJ
stantial and prominent citizens, and
has many friends who deplOre his
tragic end He was 81 years old, and
was unusually strong and vigorous for
man of his age. A wife, seven grown
children and many other relatives sur>
vive him, among them three sisters
who live IN Terrell county-Mrs. G..
w. Williams, Mrs. J. Il. Smith and Mrs.
T. L. Zimmerman.
