On Tuesday of last week Repre-
sentative Larson of this county pre-
sented for the consideration of the
Legislature rogation fixing the
amount of money appropriated for
the encouragement of the better
condition of rural schools, at $50, 600

amount of last year, and intended to
take in large number of other dis
tricts who have met the require
ments to receive $50 per year each
assistance from the State. The
measure is one strongly urged by
Supt. Race of this county, who has
nearly as many districts drawing

schools. Mr.. Larson will undoubt-
edly be backed by all of the county
superintendent in securing the
passage of the bill.

daughter-in-law, up to the time of
his death. The elder Burmeister

death.

been at law with the Western Union
Telegraph Co. for long time, over
the slippery Sam, Your Name is
Pants" message, sent Peterson six
years ago, when he bolted the nom
ination of Cushman K. Davis for
United States Senator. Juries in
Brown county have repeatedly
awarded him excessive damages,
and repeatedly has the Supreme
Court reversed the verdicts, grant
