ROSE STILL RULES MILWAUKEE,.

The most significant municipal
election in the history of Milwaukee
was that Of Tuesday, which resulted
in the recollection Of David >. Rose
as mayor by 2,374 majority. 1t dem

corporations in affairs OF govern

CHILLING HAIR M0NY.

The republican county convention
held at Dougeville last Friday was q
striking example Of the harmony
that prevails between the lion and

stomach. Organization was secured
without a hitch. Levi Pollard, APP

of the situation, and perhaps remem-
berIng that a candidate FOR state
senator is to be nominated this year,
presented "A resolution describing the
greatness of Babcock, and instruct
ing the delegates to be elected to

resolution was adopted, the faithful
saying aye" and the hereticaI mi

LaFoLLETTE IN THE FIELD.

The Ellsworth Record: The city
papers are the authority for the
statement that Robert NJ. La Toilette.
the brilliant Madisonian, will again
enter the race for Governor of Wis
consin, subject to the action of the
Republican convention at Milwau-
kee. This fact will be an important
factor in the contest. Probably a
score or more Of prominent citizens
of our great state have already been
mentioned in Connection with the
gubernatorial nomination. Many Of
these are largely complimentary
expression of local pride, others will
take some delegates to the conven-
ton but have no real hope of carry
ing away the prize. La Toilette
however embodles the essential
characteristics demanded Of aspi-
rants for the office Of chief executive.
besides he is a scholar, "a silver
tOngued orator, an astute campaigner
and Of unblemished personal char
acter. Above all, his name is a
household word in every nook and
corner of our great commonwealth
La Toilette will inject ginger into
the campaign and no mistake, and il
the fact of his candidacy is true as
reported, it behooves the Republican
party to give his claims careful con-

TALKS ON SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
THE TEACHERS PAY.

The proper pay for the service of
the teacher is a matter about which
there seems to be great difference of
opinion. In som localities the peo-
pie have learned that skillful
teacher, like every other good thing,
is worth more money TO the com
munity than poor one and so they
pay good wages. In others, the pay
is kept down SO low that only medi-
OGRE transients are attracted thither.
Low pay is an invitation to the
teacher to be bump on the log
one who sits around and Just ''hears"
Rotations.
The absence Of standards, such as
rare used in valuing service along
other lines, makes it extremely diff
cult to be fair TO both teacher and
patrons. Who can compute the value
Of that teachers services vino sue

a permanent love for good books
With Homer, Grimm, Anderson,
Scott, Dickens, DeFoe, Hawthorne.
Stevenson, Longfellow, Whittier, the
stcrrd writers and a score of others
as daily companions for our boys
and girls, we need not fear the street
loafer, the lewd story and other
things of questionable character.
Or who can say what the pay shall
be OF a teacher whose keen, sympa-
thetic grasp of child nature enables
hm to change the rude, selfish, peev-
ish son or daughter into Il gentle,
loving, joyful creature whom every
one delights to have about?
The power to do these things is
not usually born in one; it requires
great expenditure of time and money
to have it developed. Above all
things, it is rarely found in nice >
or nephew of sixteen who wants the
place Just to get little spending
money. Talent, as result of train
ing, is worth more money in the
schoolroom than the mark of being
a Smith or Jones.
The teacher has legitimate wants
aud these cost money. His pay
should be sufficient to pay them. If
it is not, then he will be forced to en-
gage i'm some side-line. Few people
can do two things as we'll as one, es-
pecially when one is the profession
of teaching. In general the teacher
ought To receive sufficient pay to
serve three purposes; viz: "First to
provide for himself and family, If he

THE DEATH OF A KANSAS BRIDE
Mrs. Grady of Ottawa, Shot Herself
While With Her Husband.

Ottawa, Kas., Aug. 23.-Mrs
Maude Grady, wife of Edward Grady
representative of a st Louis lumber
company, shot and killed herself here
last night.
1t is not known whether she delib-
erately fred the shot that took her
life. Mr.. and Mrs. Grady had eaten
supper and gone to their room at
the Ober boarding house. Other
boarders We're on the porch near
when they heard pistol shot.
j. ID. Ferguson, a travelling man
from st. Louis, ran into the room
and found both Mr.. and Mrs Grady
on the floor. A bullet had been fired
through Mrs. Grady's heart. Mr..
Grady was unconscious and it was
nearly morning when he regained his
senses. He would make no state
ment concerning the affair, except
that he did not know how it hap
pened. At the coroner's inquest to-
day Mr.. Grady made the following
statement:
Il was reading when Maude went
to the dresser to fix her hair. We
were going out. My back was to her
Suddenly | heard Il shot and jumped
up. She { turned to me and said,
Sweetheart, good-by" She fell to
the floor and | took her in my arms
and kissed her. She kissed me. That
is all | know"
Mr.. Gray said he thought the
shooting must have been accidental,
as his wife was fond of handling her
revolver, which she kept ON the dres-
ser during the day and under her
pillow at night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grady had been mar
ried little more than a month. Both
had lived here several years.
