THE Milwaukee Free Press
has very nearly told what it was
started for, and in a recent issue
it comes to the defense Of Mr..
Isaac Stephenson, of Marinette,
in an editorial in which it JUST
fes "Your Uncle" in all his do
ings. The paper has been whack-
ing away at Pfster, ct al, ever
since it's first issue, for the free
and liberal use Of money for polit-
ical purposes, and now it let's
the world know that what is to
be condemned in the stalWart
ranks, is all right when it comes
to Mr.. Stephenson, the old man
from Marinette who wishes to
succeed John G. Spooner in the
senate. The idea of the one can
didate before the last legislature
who violated the provisions of
the corrupt practice act, when
he was up for United States Sen
ator, being a reformer, is rather
ludicrous. Mr.. Stephenson is a
very worthy old gentleman with
bag full of money that he is
willing to use for the purpose of
furthering a great political am
bition, but the venerable citizen
of Marinette will sooner or later
be brought very forcibly to know
that he is living in Wisconsin
and not in Montana. To those
who have watched the course of
events during thelast few months
it is very apparent that a fight is
to be made upon the return of
Senator Spooner. There is no
phaze of the politics of the state
that could SO appeal to the peo-
pie as a defense of the gall
ant senator who has SO ably
represented Wisconsin during
the past four years, and from
one end of the state to the other
there is an army that will fight
to retain him in his seat against
any power that would seek to
encompass his defeat.

funny, while others are I'M

tions in the paper I went over this
morning was Name some of the
causes of dyspepsia. One boys
answer was: Eating green
apples and drinking beer between
meals. Another answed, Drinking
ice water and after dinner speaking.
Isn't that delicious? A third boy
said dyspepsia was caused by going
swimming on an empty stomach. An
other question was: Name some of
the vital organs Of the human body. :
One answer was: Heart, liver,

organs. Philadelphia Record.

DIFFERENT IN DISTRICTS
Where Children Have to Walk Three
Miles to School.

To THE EDITOR. Having always
read The GAZETTE with great pleas
ure, especially the letters Of Supt.
Race, I thought I would say a few
words in your columns il you will
accept It. [ read in your paper on
DULY Sd about some schools and
some teachers.
Mr. Race speaks Of the parents
fault for not sending the children to
school; that the teachers would
gladly welcome them and that the
children would be glad to go, That
is all so, butt is not always the
parents fault, but the neighbors in
a good many cases. For instance,
two years ago we tried hard to form
school distaict here in our neigh
borhood, the petition being signed
by G. r. Taft and others, and we
had more signatures thanis needed.
Why did we not get a school here2
Our petition was knocked out, why,
Z never heard. But hope it did

good than the school would have
done our children

ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
a. E. King and James Aiken Elected to.
Places on the Board.
At the annual school meeting held
last Saturday evening only 80 votes
were polled, three only Of which
were by ladies'. No interest, what
ever was manifested in the contest,
land when the votes were counted it
was ascertained that a.. b. King
was elected TO succeed himself and
Jas. Aiken was elected to succeed
H. NJ. Hitchcock, both gentlemen
receiving practically all Of the votes
| cast.
Mr.. King was elected to succeed
himself. Mr. Hitchcock had early
lin the day positively refused to ac-
lcept a reelection, and those inter
lested insisted upon Mr.. Aiken be-
ling candidate to succeed him.
Both gentlemen were elected for
three years
Secretary Hitchcock reported
that during the year there had
been Sl5, 104 206in the common fund,
THE money coming from what was
lleft over last year, and from the
Especial and one mill school tax, the
Estate pportionment. the sale of old.
seats, tuition, and from the State
high school fund. The .disburse-
nents from this fund during the
year amounted to So, l35. .58, leaving.
| a balance on hand at the present
time Of Sc, ,968. so. OF the disburse-i
ments the largest item was that Of
wages for teachers, it amounting to-
$5. .545. The disbursements for i'm
proYements and repairing amount
ed to 1896. 50, for apparatus, stating,
library and dictionaries $40. 81, 3
land for general expenses including
the janitor S salary 81 ,452 81.
| In conversation with members of
the board it is learned that the
board proposes to reduce the IN
debteddess of the district to $10,-
900 inside Of two years. Tt was.
$233, 900 two years ago, and the re-
lduetion, if made within the time.
specified, will certainly be a large
Ione, and a commend act on the
part of the board. The proposed
remaining inde ebtedness Of $40, 900
lat the end Of two years, is IN a lump.
bond sum, due about that time. L.
will probably be refunded for a
shorter period, with an on or before
payment clause in the bonds.
In all probability high school
building will have to be built inside
LOT three wears. The members favor
building it on side Of the present
building
The bond and interest sinking
fund shows balance on hand on
July Gosh Of $5. .706 Al, and balance
on hand in all funds of $12, ,675. 03.
1 The members of the board will act
wisely il transferring as much as
possible and save from other funds
to the bond and interest fund. and
taking up as much Of the district S
Iindeb ebtedness as the financial condi-
ton of the district warrants.

engaged in cutting their oats where
the wheat is not quite ready, al
though there are butvery few fields
lof the latter which are not ready
for the harvesting machine. The
hot weather has ripened wheat so
