PRONOUNCED INSANE.
Winnie Lyonnais of Rudolph Examined Before
Judge Gaynor Saturday.

Winnie LyOnnaiS, rather cookbook
ing French girl about Is years OF age
living with her parents in the town Of
Rudolph, was upon complaint brought
before Judge Gaynor Saturday charged
with being insane. She was examined
by two physicians and their verdict
was in accordance with the original
charges in her case. During her ex-
animation before the judge she was
very violent and hurled an ink bottle
viciouSly at her fathers head, which
would undoubtedly have resulted
disastrouSly to the old gentleman had
it landed where it was intended, but
fortunately it did not. Miss Winnie
at the conclusion of the hearing was
committed to the Northern hospital
at Oshkosh, and was taken there
by Sheriff Mclaughlin on Monday.
This case is peculiar inasmuch rs
many people acquainted with the
family and the circumstances sur
rounding the case, do not believe the
girl insane despite the fact Of her
violent conduct at times. She appar-
emily felt keenly the fancied odium Of
being confined in an insane asylum,
but a short stay there with proper
treatment ought to help her control
her temper and make a better woman
of her than she otherwise would be.
Parents are not wholly blameleSS in
such cases, but the mantle of charity
should be thrown over all, as even
grown-'lp people must act childiShly
once in a while.

ANENT LIBRARY MATTERS.
Interesting Features of the Work In This
County-A Country Visit.

Miss L. E. Stearns of the State
Library Commission whose home is in
Milwaukee, has been in Wood county
for the past week looking after the
library work in general and the travel
ing library work in particular
Accompanied by Mrs. Anna W. Evans.
the librarian of the Scott Free Public
Library of this city, Miss Stearns
visited Nekoosa and the country
districts where the travelling library
established by J. D. Witter of this
city is wont to circulate. Both of the
ladies are enthusiastic over the work
of these travelling libraries. The
custom is to locate one of these
libraries with one family in neigh
borhood, where the whole neighbor-
hood can go and get books during it's
stay there. They found them in all
sorts Of places, from the commOdiouS
home of the well-tO-dO farmer to the
cramped and narrow quarters of
apparently very poor people. But
they are being read everywhere, and
and the wide circulation that they
enjoy must be great educational
work among the people of this county.
In the country people rely more upon
books for cOmpanionShip and amuse-
ment than in the towns where men
often have Surfeit of both, and for
this reason the travelling library is
even more highly appreciated by it's
patrons than is the larger and more
pretentious libraries of the cities.
Mr.. Witter has just contributed
another 80 books to the travelling
library for the purpose Of freshening
it up bit as we'll as to supply needed
books.
On Tuesday these ladies visited
NekOosa with view of looking up
the prospects of establishing a library
in that town. They met the principal
business men of the place and believe
the prospect is good for eventually
establishing a library there, but
nothing in particular has yet been
done towards it's eSta bliShment
The National Library Association
will meet at Waukesha in July next.
and the fame of the Wood County
Library work has become so wide
spread, that we understand the
delegates from New York will visit
this county for thepurpose Of inspect
ing the work here before returning to
their state.
