A Wise rIember.

The fact that the farcical skit pre-
sented at the opera house last night
by the members Of the "Wisc Mem
Der" company had been witnessed by
nearly the same audience three weeks
ago caused no lessenipg in their meas
ure of enjoyment.
At first the audience showed some
little Disappointment when they real
lied that virtually the same plot would
be presented as shown by the Tucker
company, but this soon gave way to
laughter at The amusing cGmicalitIes
of the members of The cast. The per-
formers are al of the first class aud

than have been presented this winter.

GER Messrs G. b. Marvin and Samuel

evening. Miss Mod ChampenO and

HE DRANK A DRUG.
Yong Man Dies From Drinking
Spanish Flv.
ALEX BELLAMER THE VICTIM.
Pats Some of the Drug III Drink Of Wits
key, Saturday Night, ard the Result
Was His Death OF Tuesday
~ Evening.


Alex Bellamer, aged twenty-nir e
years, died at the Alexander House,
Tuesday night. The deceased has
been here off and on for the past
three years, and during the present
summer has been employed at the
different mills in the, city. He led a
quiet life until recently, when he
became rather frisky in his habits.
Saturday night he exhibited a vial
of what is known as Spanish fly, "
at the Octave Huppe saloon, and
poured quantity of it in some whis-
key, which he drank. A short time
afterwards he was taken quite sick,
and continued to grow worse until
he finally died Tuesday night. There
is no suspicion that the drug was
taken with suicidal intent, but it is
presumed that ne had procured it TO
use for some dastardly purpose, and
that instead of some other victim
feeling it's evil effects that Bellamer
became his own victim. The young
man was member of the M. w. of
A., and belonged to the branch at
Poplar.

Perhaps Exaggerated

Sister NJ Katherine, of Odanah,
has written a letter, to Indian Agent
Campbell, of Ashland, regarding the
smallpox epidemic at Odanah.
From its contents one would be led
to believe what already must have
suggested itself to persons who have
been reading of the prevalence of
the disease, that the Odanah situa-
ton was very much exagg Grated.
The Sister says:
Since the beginning of the affair
the sisters have been earnestly re-
quested to contradict these state
ment. At first they firmly refused,
but at length, by consideration for
the feelings of parents and others
especially interested in the school,
they consented to have published the
following facts:
l. Although the school was quar-
antined for nearly two weeks, there
was not one case OF genuine small
pox among the inmates. That the
daily routine of the school was un-
broken and the medical authorities,
after a thorough inspection. de
clared general class work might be
ccetinued, goes far to prove the
mildness of the disease.
2. No teacher, teamster, or any,
other adult of the school con attracted
the disease, and many Of the child
rem also escaped it's contagion.
3. No death has occurred on the
reservation as a result of this much
talked of epidemic. The News in
recent issue spoke of the terrible
agony of one of it's victims. Be it
known to the reader that this victim
had not smallpox, that his death
had been expected for two months
and was the direct result of chronic
kidney trouble AS to his terrible
agony" he must have been playing
the part of ''Hogans much dreaded
ghost and appeared to som reporter
since no human being stood around
his silent, midnight death bed.

James Gee Gives Sheriff Lien the
Slip.
HE WAS ENROUTE FOR WAUPUN.
Sentenced to Seven Years After Having
Heen Convicted of Forgery Smooth
James Gee Gets off the Train
is Still at Liberty.

James Gee, convicted of the crime
of forgery in the circuit court, last
week, and entenced to a term of
seven years Imprisonment, is at
liberty. Sheriff L. HI. Lien left for
Waupun with the prisoner Saturday
night, and few miles out of Ash
land lost his man, and the latter has
not been recaptured. When the
train got to Marengo, report says
the sheriff was asleep, and Gee
walked off the train and took to the
woods. The conductor says he tried
to awaken the sheriff, but the latter
was in a heavy slumber and was not
thoroughly aroused until he got to
Mellen. There is theory being ad-
vanced that the sheriff was drugged
by some designing person, probably
Gee. At Mellen Mr. Lien got off
ano went back to Marengo, and took
up the chase for his lost prisoner.
He was last heard from over on the
border in Michigan, on the D. S. S.
& A. railroad, where he is looking
hard for his lost prize. Gee had on
hand cuffs when he got away, and
so far as known here he has not been
heard from since he gave Mr.. Lien
the slip. Gee was smooth case.
and his many unlawful and criminal
acts are well known to the people of
Washburn. This was to have been
his second term of Imprisonment in
Waupun.

Parents Meetings,

In order that the teachers may
come in contact with the parents, a
series of parents meetings have been
planned to be held in the evening at
the various school buildings in the
city.
The meetings have been planned
for the evening, because it is we'll
known fact that the parents are busy
during the daytime, and would find
it impossible to attend such meetings
then.
These are definitely Parents
Meetings" but for the first program,
we shall ask the pupils to contribute
a large part. But it is the parents
that we particularly desire to see at
that time, and, I may say, that we
desire to hear, also. The children
we see every day.
Do not say that you haven't time
to give that small attention to your
children's education. A man said to
me short time ago, that he had not
been in the school building since it
was built. You surely can give an
evening occasionally, to look over
the work done by your child for his
encouragement, help to make plans
for the improvement in his work, be-
come acquainted with his teacher
and add your mite to the general adj
vancement of the community In
which you live,
| would also urge the attendance
of those who have no children in
school. You are certainly interest
ed in what is done for the general
welfare, and an evening spent in
social way with your neighbor and
townsman will be worth the effort
made to come to the meeting.
Come out to the first meeting, and
it may be that you will be encouraged
to come again. The first meeting
will be held in the High School room
at the Walker Building, Friday
evening, November 9Th at 1880.

Gates County Matter Comes Before
the Court.
BRUCE AN AMBITIOUS TOWN.
Wants to Take the County Seat from Lady
smith, and Desires an In Injunction for
the Period of One Year to
Bring 1t About.

The Gates county matter had an
inning in the circuit court in this
city last Saturday, at which time a
motion was made before Judge Par
ish to enjoin the comfy board of
supervisors from erecting their new
500, 900 court house, which has been
voted. The action grows out of the
fact that the town of Bruce is anxi-
Gus to succeed Ladysmith as the
county seat of the new county, and
it has been determined that the vote
of the people upon the proposition
to remove the seat of government
cannot be had until the general cleo
tions of next year. Bruce therefore
comes in and asks an injunction un-
til such time as the county seat mat
ter can be left to the people to de.
eide. Ladysmith was named as the
county seat by the legislature when
it created the new county, and has
since been so designated by the off
cial action of the county board.
District Attorney L. E. McGill, of
Ladysmith and John Barnes, of
Rhinelander, appeared on behalf Of
the county of Gates, and opposed the
motion, while the firm of Williams g.
Williams, of Milwaukee, appeared on
behalf of the petitioners OF tie town
of Bruce, and advocated the grant
ing of the motion. After listeniny
to what the attorneys had to say the
court gave them time to file briefs,
and these will be the next factors in
the case, upon which the merits of
the case will rest before the court.

Lumber Burns.

Iron River had another big fire
last Friday, at which time 400 piles
of lumber in the Alexander Edgar
yards, containing about 4,00O,O 900
feet, were burned. Only three piles
of lumber were saved, and the loss
will aggregate in the neigh borhood of
$1,000 which we understand is
pretty well covered by insurance.
The company sustained a similar
severe loss about two years ago, los
ing at that time nearly their entire
mill yard.

MCKINLEY MEMORIAL.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. "a, 1901.
Mr.. j. E. JONES.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. "a, 1901.
Mr.. J. E. JONES,
IHE WAsHBURN TIMES,
Washburn, Wis.
DEAR SIR: You are undoubtedly
aware that, at the request of Mrs.
Mckinley and members of the late
PRESIDENTS family, the President
OF the United States has named a
board of trustees for the purpose of
raising the necessary funds to erect
"a suitable. Memorial to our late
lamented President, William McKin-
ley.
The trustees have qualified and
perfected their organization by the
election of officers, and now appeal
to the patriotic people of the United
States to contribute to the purposes
for which the association will bend
it's energies, namely:
f'irst-To the erection and main
tainance of suitable memorial, at
Canton. Ohio, that city having been
President McKinley's home through
out bis public life, and selected by
him as his final resting place.
Second-If any funds remain after
providing for the Memorial at Can
ton, they will be devoted to aid in
the erection of memorial in Wash
ington, D. G.
Believing that the people of Wis
consin generally will desire to con-
tribute for the purpose indicated, [
appeal to you in that behalf to open
subscriptions in your Office and to
notify people in your locality that
you have done so, and to publish the
names of such subscribers.
Contributions in any amount will
be gratefully received. Remittances
may be made to me at Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, ard they will be
transmitted promptly to the treas
urer. Subscribers will receive a
souvenir certificate which will be
worthy of preservation as evidence
of participation in the work.
II is believed that the response
of the people will be so liberal that
memorial will be erected which
will fittingly honor our martyred
President, and empaize their loyalty
to our institutions and their abhor-
renee Of that spirit of lawlessness
which inspired the assault upon his
life, and / am sure the patriotic
people of the state of Wisconsin will
promptly respond for this purpose.
Very truly yours,
HENRY G. PAYNE.
THE TINES cheerfully accepts the
assignment of the association, and
ID prepared W EecelVc cOuIIlUuulono
for the purpose set forth in the fore
going.

Doctor Mitchell's new building re-
sembles a -scraper, somewhat.
It is not very long, neither is it very
wide, but for heighth it is right in it.
Lutte Lindsay, the joker, was giving
his version of the new structure a
few days ago, and said that he
though the first floor should be used
for blacksmith shop, the second
floor would make good examining
room," and the third floor would do
first rate for a pest house. In case
this is not agreeable the idea ex-
pressed by another that the place
resembled a country elevator, and
suggestion that the Battle Axe run
spur into it, using the peak as a
tower might be adopted. But lay
ing all these things aside, the Doctor
has quite a building, and besides
having good office rooms he might
keep house and move his fam lily in
up stairs.
