many people who were present The
Normal girls won by score of to 8,
but they had to exert themselves to
/ the utmost The Nelson Dewey girls
did not show up with as good team
work, due more to the fact that this

sion Monday evening and transacted
large amount of routine business.
The teachers payroll was passed. and
also the rent roll for the month The
coal question was taken up, and the
coal dealers were again turned down
by the board. When their bids were
opened it was found that they were a II
higher than the prevailing market
price, so the board decided to buy it's
coal all winter in the open market.
It was decided to bring before the
council the matter of placing the two
high schools Of the city on the state
free list. If this is done state funds
will be received which are not now
available. 1t was also urged that all
text books needed in the high school
course by the students be purchased
| by them. Both motions ere referred.
Berg & Olson were allowed $1,000
for extras on the Nelson-Dewey addi-
| ton, and the balance will be acted up
on latter. Commissioner Daniels on
moved that proceedings be instituted
looking toward the condemnation of

John Erickson school. The motion
was adopted.

two weeks holiday lasting from De-
cember 20 to January 6. The matter
of leasing ground for a gymnasium at

lecture course will be the concert and
banjo recital by A, A. Farland to be
given at the Pilgrim Congregational
church, West Superior on Tuesday
enening Dec 8.
Farland stands first and alone in his
line. "He has discovered hitherto
unknown possibilities in the banjo'
and taught it to give voice to the
sweetest strains that ever fell on
human ear" He has done for the
banjo what Paganiui did tor the violin"
and thousands assert that he gives the
most wonderful instrumental perform
ance ever known. He is highly recon
mended by the press, and, all music

Deer Season Closes TODAY,

The season for the killing of deer
closes today, and hel eater the Ward
ems will be on the alert and severe
punishment will be dealt out to all
caught violating the game laws.
Five days are allowed after the clos
ing of the season for the shipment Of
the deer that have already been killed.
The butchers, restaurant and hotel
keepers and others are allowed the
same length of time in which to dis
pose of the deer meat on hand at the
close of the season. After the five
days time expires it is a violation Of
the law for the restaurant men or hotel
keepers 20 sell or serve venison eX-
cept that which has been confscated
and sold to them by the warden. People
that want to keep venison for their
private use are required to make a
statement in writin G to the game war
dens as to how much they have and
where they are going to keep it. The
law is very stringent on these points.

WhTCHY nan KILLED.
Body of Waichman Oh >teaaRer Ber
lin Found Dead Under Fourth
Street Bridge.

Early Thanksgiving morning the
body of man was found on the ice
below the Fourth street bridge that
spans the Nemadji river. The body
was recognized as that of Samuel
Willert, young man about 81 years
of age, Waterman on the Steamer
Berlin, and whose home is in Buffalo,
n. Y. Willert with several others had
spent the evening in saloon in that
vicinity, and number of arrests have
been made the parties being held as
witnesses.
The supposition is that the man fell
from the bridge to the ice below, a
distance of forty feet, striking upon
his head, as it was badly smashed up
and was lying in pool of blood when
found. The bridge has railing four
feet high and it would seem almost
impossible for man to fall from the
bridge accidentally. This fact leads TO
the theory of suicide or murder.
1t is reported that Willert had a
large sum of money on his person
when he left the boat, but only about
IS aud bottle of Whiskey was found
on the body. An inquest will be held
by Coroner Dudley this morning when
it is hoped that the mystery will be
cleared up.

Apple CrOp Paws Well.

S. H. Derby, a successful trucker and
fruit grower of near Woodside, has just
finished picking crop of apples in
spite of the fact that the crop was a
total failure with almost every Othor
grower in that section. He attributes
his success to spraying. which is done
three or four times during the season.
Mr.. Derby has full crop of Wine
saps, with few Courthouse and other
standard varieties, and his crop is esti-
mated at 1000 baskets. He has already
sold the entire crop at 1925 per barrel,
purchaser to furnish barrels and send
man to pack the fruit. The crop will
therefore net Mr.. Derby $975.
