TOTAL REPUBLICAN,
$4,000 For Milk.
.arshfeld Times.

Marshfeld Times
1t is not quite 81 months ago that
Fuller & Hathaway, proprietorS of
the Marshfield Creamery, came into
possession of that property, but dur
ing that time they paid to their
patrons the sum represented in the
above headline. They started in
with 24O pounds of milk, before the
summer was half over it went to
10000 pounds and at present is a
little over 1000 pounds. The farmers
in this section fully realize the great
help an institution of this kind is,
and in consequence are increasing
their herds.
1t is our opinion that these cream
cries are great benefit to farmers
in section suitable for grazing
purposes or where good hay can be
raised. They leave lot of money
amongst the farmers during the sea-
sons that they are not selling their
crops and adds materially to their
wealth and comfort. 1t is to be
hoped that more creameries will be
established in this section of the
county.

At the Ascension Episcopal church

attitude of certain churchmen who
had demonstrated against the ritual
and the veStments used at the recent
services of conservation of Bishop
Grafton's coadjutor in the diocese of
Fond du Lac. The position of low
churchmen ON the question of the
sacrificial character of communion
and Oh confessions he declared to be
inconsistent with the plain teachings
of the prayer book.

REV. Mr.. MILLtR'S ADDRESS On.
WHY so FEW MN GO TO CHURCH.

Rev. Rennette C. Miller, pastor of the
hope Street ". II. church, spoke last
evening upon why DO SO Few Men
Attend Church?" and he read several
letters in which the writer's gave rea-
sons why they were non-attendants.
one man said, according TO what Mr..
Miller read, that he would rather play
pool than go TO church and wasn't in
the habit Of associating with churcn
people Another man said that ne q
nor attend because he was fond or at
tending the theatre and witnessing
standard plays. and also liked TO play a
game OF cards occasionally. lie found
that the church oftentimes differed
with him on these subjects and he OBJ
iected 10 attending church and being
arraigned without having an oppof-
tunity TO present his view of the situa-
tion
Mr.. Miller said In part: II believe
that one OF the great reasons why men
do not go TO church Is that they are
not made 10 feel that they are really
welcome. Then the economic question
enters into A. Many feel that they
cannot afford the expense necessary.
Then there are personal reasons-they
don't like the minister or they
don't like the so-called hypocrites. But
I think this q n silly reason. This inn
plies that all church members should
be saints. Then there Is tna Sunday
newspapers. | believe that that keeps
men away from church. BY the time

Under The Ordinance on the Subject.

The committee in charge Of the An
thony prize medals contest has decided
10 make change from the rule hereto
fore adopted of awarding two medals
TO a school, one for the boys and an
other for the girls, and the result OF
this is that the boys OF the English
high school will have an opportunity to
carry off one Of these medals this
year.
OF FIVE boys who constitute the male
portion OF the graduating class of the
English high school this year, only
one has been in the school throughout
the course. the other four having come
in from other places in the middle of
the course. They were all at liberty to
compete for the medal. but the eight or
ten who were chosen in the preliminary
contest happened TO be all girls, and
consequently the medal must go 10 a
girl. No exception can be taken TO the
action of the committee, for the city
ordinance governing the matter says
that IL shall be In the power OF me

CITY COUNCIL MAY SOON HAVE
TO TAKE UP TAX RATE QUESTION

1t is very probable that in the very
near future the city council will again
be confronted with the problem OF fix
ing the tax rate. and. as usual, there
will be more or less discussion over
what has been, at least for the past
few years, Voxed question. In the
estimates OF receipts and expenditures
OF the next financial year IL was stated
that tax OF $l6.I4 Per $1,000 would bo
necessary 20 raise the amounts which
the finance committee was willing 10
allow the various departments OF the
municipal government.
The aggrt gate amount needed To be
raised by taxation is 50, i5l, 1856. The
amount raised upon real estate and
personal property last year was 3d.
llO219.37 with a tax rate of $3.50 per
$1,000. The present rate was fixed in
1896. Prior 20 that the tax assessed was
SIG per $1,000. which was fixed In 1898,
when II had been jumped up 81. One
OF the difficulties during the past ten
years has been that the Increase in the
tax rate has provided barely funds
enough TO take care ~ the additional
interest account.
What tho outcome will b. remains a.
be seen. but 10 ~ generally believed that
