MISS KIDDER COMING.
To Give an Entertainment in the Con.
gregational Church.

gregational Church.
Miss Amanda Kidder of Lacrosse,
will give reading at the Congre-
eational church Friday evening,
March 9th, under the auspices of the
Y. P. S. G. E.
Miss Kidder gives selections from
James Whitcomb Riley, Eugene
Field, scenes from Dombey and Son,
by Chas. Dickens Humorous,
dramatic and pathetic stories from
many authors. The male quartette
and ladies quartette will sing sever
al selections. E. W. Walker, of the
Superior State Normal, says of
Miss Kidder:
cit affords me no little pleasure to
write of Miss Kidder's entertain
ment. I had never heard of her
before the Cumberland Institute,
and [ went to her entertainment
largely from sense of duty, many
of my past experiences having pre-
JUDGED me against such an enter
tainment. Perhaps it was this
attitude of mind that paved the way
for my evenings pleasure, but at
any rate I enjoyed it. Miss Kidder
is natural, easy, sensible and attract
i've in her platform presence and
scholarly in her Interpretation of
thought. She does not essay the i'm
possible and therefore never disap-
points. She deserves a high rank
among public readers.
Price of admission twenty-five
and ten cents. No one should miss
the opportunity to hear Miss Kidd

WILL ISSUE STAMPS IN BOOKS.
The Post Office Department Has Adopted
Plan That Will Prove q Great
Convenience.

The postoffice department has &C.
cided 60 issue stamps in books, but
it will be two or three months before
it reaches the local postoffice.
The book will be of convenient
size to carry in the pocket and will
contain stamps to the amount of "a
cents, 48 cents, and IS cents. An
advance of / cent on each book is all
that is to be charged the general
public, and if one-tenth of the
stamps now sold in loose packages
are distributed in book form, the
governmet will realize handsome
profit on the investment. The gov
eminent will pay 81 thousand for
these books, and they will be sold
for $40 a thousand, in advance of
course, of the face value of the
stamps they contain. It is believed
the book con taining "a cents in
stamps and costing Is cents will be
the most popular.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment to add to the details of the
book as the necessity arises. ghe
postoffice officials are confident that
the stamp books will become pop.
ular, and they believe much time
will be saved in the handling of
stamps at the different postoffices.
The postoffice department has
been receiving complaints and in
quires for years concerning stamps
rendered useless by sticking to-
gether and in summer time the com
plants run up into many hundred a
day. With the use of these stamp
books it is believed much of the an
noyance will be overcome, for with
the paraffin sheets between the
stamps, sticking is impossible. The
addition of the postal information on
the cover of the book promises to be
a desirable feature, for there are few
people who are fully acquainted
with the postal rates of the United
States.

DEAR SIR: l am in receipt of your
favor Of the 18th inst, asking when
the town treasurer has to make his
return to the county treasurer
whether on the 1st or the 18th OF
March.
In reply l would say that the
form Of Warrant as given in Section
2 Of Chapter 335 of the laws of 1899,
reads list of March. 7 have care
fully examined the bill which be,
came law, and | find that a cler-
ical mistake was made, and that il
was the intention of the legislature
that these words should have been
''15th day of March, instead Of
"1st day of March, Of course the
inten ton of the legislature must
govern under the repeated decisions
of our court, hence | think that the

THESE HAVE BEEN THIS WINTER
The Amount Perhaps Fails 25,OOO,OOO
Feet Short on Account of Sales Not
Reported-Great Activity in
Lumber Operations.

Bayfield, county looms up III the
lumber business as the polar star of
the north. The activity in lumber
ing during the past year has been
something marvellous, and not until
everyone became thoroughly awak
ened was it realized what an amount
of standing timber yet remained.
The numbering industry has been
booming, and a great many who
have had means to invest have been
after a slice of land. All have
made little something out OF their
investments. A piece OF timber is
about as available for cash as money
in the bank. Prices have been
steadily on the rise. The woodman S
axe has been employed in cutting
down the timber, and the lumber
business has, and is still booming.
The Ashland Press has looked up
the extent OF sales on Chequamegon
Bay and estimates them for this
winter at 227 1000, 900 feet, and
gives the following figures.
Keystone Lumber Co... sc, 100000

The Press says that the totals are

actual amount sold, many deals
having not been made public.
Perhaps considerable over half
of this amount will be manufactured
this season at the different mills on
the bay.

Christmas festivities of a delightful
nature were held last evening by the
Sunday school of ST. Andrews Protest
Episcopal Mission Of the South
Side. The scholars rendered a very
appropriate cantata, consisting OF
choruses and solos, and their credita-
BILE efforts were literally commended
by the large audience attending. At
the conclusion of the programme each
child received two presents and a treat
consisting of apples, oranges, candy
and nuts. The gifts were books, games
and toys of different descriptions. A
big Christmas tree was also provided
for the evening and it was IN occasion
of genuine enjoyment for the entire
school. About twenty-five children
took part in the cantata.
The Sunday school of this mission
has ninety scholars enrolled and its
prospects for future growth are eX-
ceedingly encouraging. Some excel
ent work is being accomplished by
those in charge.
Last evening the Sunday school Of
Wesley NJ. Z. church rendered a canta-
ia and the various numbers a%pprOpri-
ate to the Christmas season were ap-
preciably received by the audience. AT
tel the programme each of the schOI-
ars received presents from the teach
ers and also a treat consisting of fine
candy.
