of Control.

Sheboyean Lawyer May Go On Board
of Control.
1t is said that ex-senator Mead Of
Sheboygan will succeed E. r. Peth-
erick whose term as a member of the
state board of control expires April
Is. The fifth district, in which Major
Mead resides, is now without repre-
sentation on the board. Mead is a
gold democrat. The appointment #
a man from the fifth district will leave
the fourth district without representa-
ton. It is thought by some politicians
that the change is preliminary osstiil
further changes, which will give a
Milwaukee man a chance. Other poll
ticians can see no special reason for
assigning place to that city. The
term of Mr.. Bishop of Rhinelander will
be the next to expire, which will be
April Is, 1902, and then the fourth
district will regain it's representation,
it is hoped by the cream city folk. 1t
is reported that Senator Arson would
like to hold the place and also that ex-
Senator Kempf is looking for it; and
there are others.
Mr.. Mead is a native OF Wisconsin,
having been born in the town of Lyn-
don, Sheboygan county, on June rs,
1858. He received a common and high
school education and graduated from
the law department. of the state uni
versity in 1881. He entered upon the
profession of the law and has followed
it to the present day, having always
resided in Sheboygan county. He
never held a public Office until he was
elected to the senate in 1888.

ACID IN A GIRLS FACE.
Cruel Attack Upon Miss Hawkins of
AShtabula


Ashtabula, O., April Miss Lillian
Hawkins is a victim for the fifth time
of a murderous attack. Last night
the young woman answered a ring at

quantity of carbolic acid was thrown
in her face. A shot from revolver
followed, but the bullet missed it's
mark. Miss Hawkins tainted and ply
sicians and the police were summoned.
She was found suffering from severe
burns on the forehead, cheeks, hands
and arms, but her eyes were not
touched.
Miss Hawkins is 20 years old and
good looking. Last December she was
taken from sickbed by masked per-
sons, one of whom was woman in
mans clothing, and bound, gagged and

ositions are anything more than ac-
lal clerkships for they hold that no
ounty officer has the opportunity to
1 any way shape or influence import
MT policies. 1t is not thought that
his substitute was offered in good
aith, but that it is a cunning and des
jerate effort to kill anything in the
orm of a primary law, because it is
admitted even by the stalwarts in the
senate that the assembly will not ac-
cept the Hagemeister substitute. The
Kreutzer bill will receive only one
vote in the senate and that one will be
that of it's author. Senator KreutZer
said last night that he did not hope
for much support for his bill but he
expected the Hegemeister measure to
pass So it appears that if the Stevens
bill is killed, the staIwarts will pass a
measure making what the original pri-
mary people call farce of the whole
matter.
1t was said last night by several
assemblymen, who bore the brunt of
the fight for the Stevens bill in the
lower house, that if the Hagemeister
proposition ever came back to the as
sembly it would be so amended as to
include the nominations of all mem
bers of the legislature, and delegates
to state and congressional conven-
tons Anything short of this they
would consider useless and hypocrit-
ical.
On the other hand. the stalwarts
lain that if primary elections prove
be a good thing in counties they
n then be extended to legislative
I'd state officers But in the Ian
Iage of Senator Gaveney they be-
eve that no farmer experimenting
it'll a new crop would put in thous-
nd acres the first season. If he
gere a good farmer, or anything but
a crank, he would try a small patch
first, so if the crop was not adaptable
to the soil and climate conditions no.
great harm would be done. They IN
sist that the Hagemeister substitute
will pass the senate with practically
the same support as the test vote on
the Gaveney resolution a week ago.

POVERTY
Will Not Prevent
Repairs.

Despite the fact that the Prudential
committee Of the Board of Education
took hold of the report of the com
mittee on repairs two weeks ago, with
a view to making the projected re-
pairs for this summer as small as pos
sible, voluminous list still remained
when the former committee reported
at Tuesday nights meeting. The re-
port covered a variety Of matters.
All the schools come in for a share of
the work proposed, which consists Of
little of everything from the paving
Of alleys and the patching of tin roofs,
to painting interiors and putting in
number of blackboards.
The Board realizes that both time
and money are extensively scarce at
this time and that a large quantity
of hustling will have to be done, If
any repairs are to be made before
school begins for the fall term. The
repairs recommended are all In the
nature of necessities and failure to
attend TO them now may mean later
expenditure Of more money than will
be required to fix things at this
time.

of D. L. King, whose energy and ef'
fort assisted Akron materially to her
present prominence, was recommend
ed by Mr.. Kingsbury In the same re-
port III
Mr.. Harpham didn't see it that way
and stated that as long as Akron has
but one High school it should be des-
ignated as the Akron High school, and
no personal name given until the ad-
dition of another High school shall
make a distinction necessary.
The school will remain Akron High
for the present.
The Miller school, though the name
Is taken in honor of the late Lewis
Miller, does not appeal to Mr.. Kings
bury as being definite enough and he
recommended that the name Lewis
be added to specify the purpose Of the
Board in naming it. AS any legislation
along this line would start the friends
of every public school in the city on
crusade Of the same kind, and as the
Boards records state for whom Miller
school was named, nothing was done in
the matter.

Approved.
Mr.. MalIison's Opinion Of the
New SpelIer.

II would learn spelling as easily out
of an old geography as from the spell
or now in use in the schools" said Mr..
Madison, when the recommendation
to change the text books now in use
was broached by Mr.. James at Tues
day nights meeting of the Board Of
Education. "There never was a real
speller except McGuffey's, which l
used when l was u boy. There were
definitions, Latin phrases and whole
mines of knowledge in those spoilers.
I'd like to see the Board discard the
worthless text book now in use and go
back to the McGuffey speller."
Mr.. James recommended the adop,
ton of Jacobs speller which had been
given close scrutiny and was found to
be superior to the work now in use.
II move that we adopt the McGuffy
speller," said Mr.. Gibbons, but the
motion was not seconded.

Two of Akron's teachers asked for

year at Tuesday nights meeting of the

where she will spend year in study,
The other applicant, Miss Lucy b.,

The Board of Education has formally
decided to name the proposed new
school building in the White City al
lotment the Lane school, in honor of
eXtSheriff S. A. Lane, one of the
citizens who was prominent in Ak

ably delineated her growth and ad-
ventures in his Fifty Years and
Over of Summit County" The street
east of the school site will be named
Lane avenue also in honor of s. A.
Lane.
Mr.. Madison was not particularly
pleased with the word avenue" which
was attached to the name Lane and
suggested that street would be the
better word, on account of it's simpli-
city, and Mr.. Lanes well known con-
tempt for affectation.
Mr.. Gibbons, on the contrary, liked
the roll and "chic' of the word ave
nue. and so declared himself. 1t will

A work on physiology and hygiene
was also recommended and will be
purchased and used in High school

Measures Passed Over,

Broader knowledge of School
Matters Desired.

A disposition to argue was in the
faces and manners of the members
of the Board of Education Tuesday
night. 1t required but little to start
lively discussion, and the fun grew
with amazing swiftness. Measures
were laid on the table with promptness
and decision, and then, after the smoke
of the battle cleared away, the victors
were able to see where more modera-
tion would have been very beneficial
and several matters were reconsidered.

LIBERALS, while Col. Gibbons and Mr..

servative party, aided by the silent
votes of Messrs. Endres and Gayer.
the final adjournment the members
were on the watch and that differences
in opinion exist over matters legislat-
ed last night cannot be doubted.
Perhaps it was this that caused Mr..
james to rise before the end of the
meeting and recommend the appoint
ment of committee of three to evolve
methods of doing business different
from the village methods now in
force Mr.. james declared that under
the present method members could
not become properly acquainted with
the work in hand, and that more eco
nomical and thorough methods should
be evolved by the committee to be ap
pointed. -.
The measure carried, and the com
mittee consisting of Messrs. James

straightway appointed. ~
