toning the teams departure from
Chicago the Tribune says: Co
mskey uncovered surprise in
Pitcher Revoyr whom he signed
some time ago but kept dark. He
is giant from the lumber regions
of Wisconsin who looks as if he could

The tax levied by the annual town
meeting for town purposes was, in
round numbers, 50, 900 more than that
of last wear The town tax levy was
fully as high DIS that of the proceed
ing year. And all this ia face of the
fact that the organization of the
town of Port Wing withdrew from
our taxable valuation over SIP, 000
Tax payers ought to bear in nina
the fact that the town board has had
no hand in the levying of this tax,
and should they refuse to expend
the sum levied, under their control,
vour burden would not be lightened
Your valuation is decreasing, your
evies are increasing, and your tax
must, necessarily, be greater. Add
to these levies your county and state
tax, and your fixed charges. and
when tax paying time comes around,
shirk the responsibility and damn
the board

MOTHERS AWFUL MISTAKE
Why She Was Dependent After Caller
Had Gone
From Harper's Magazine.

Had Gone.
From Harper's Magazine.
She was a dear old lady, in whom
all her friends felt separate sense
of possession, and whose capacity
for committing gentle blunders made
her just little bit dearer still.
Among her acquaintance of long
standing, though much younger than
herself, was Mrs. Tarpley, who,
left a most beautiful and interesting
widow before she was 20, remained
for fifteen years pattern of fidelity,
and then STEPPED from the high
pedestal on which a generation of
young women and not few mar
ried ones had placed her, to preside
over the home of Judge James Maiden
Cooke, and to be gracious step
mother to his only daughter. It was
Mrs. Cooke card which the servant
had just brought up to the dear old
lady.
Now, mother, Isabel and Kate
entreated after they had added few
swift touches to her dress and hair;
NOW. mother, don't forget and call
her Mrs. Tarpley."
Il won't, I really won't" their
mother said, as she went out of the
door; and all the way down the stairs
she kept saying to herself, Mrs.
Cooke Cooke--Cooke- Mrs. Cooke. !"
Presently the parlor door opened,
there was a sound of affectionate
farewells, roll of carriage wheels
and the gentle hostess was heard
making her way back to the second
floor. Isabel met her at the top of
the steps. There was a subdued des-
pondency on the mothers face.
Mother, you didn't
No, Isabel, she replied emphat-

IRON RIVER.

From the Pioneer.
Clerk of Court Bell was in the city
election day to cast vote.
The marriage Of Louis Beach to
Mary Michaud was solemnized last
Sunday by Justice THESE.
George Cochran broke camp on
March % after very successful log
ging season. He put in about
$500, 900 feet of logs for the Moore
Kepple Co., of Port Wing. and if it
bad been desired, he could put in
perhaps half million more before
breaking up. The conditions we're
very favorable for loggers this
winter.
DR.. Coburn. of Washburn, was in
the city Tuesday on his way home.
Last Tuesday was the quietest
election held in the city in years.
There were 628 votes cast and this
number could have been easily in
creased 800 votes had there been
lively contest. Chairman Sauve
had no opposition. Henry Happle,
for supervisor, and Jas. O'Toole,
for town clerk, run Independently
and the former made an excellent
showing.
The crowded condition of the lower
grades of the city school has COM
PEELED the School Board to provide
an overflow room separate from
the school buildings. The new de-
partment will open Tuesday, April
8, in Hessey's Hall, the most suit
able building and location at pres
ent available Miss Beth Whiting,
late substitute as assistant in the
High School during Miss Snyder's
absence, is to have charge of the
new school.
The sparing contest between Jim
Arnold, OF the range, and Ed.
Woods, was pulled off at the Town
Hall in this city last Saturday even
ing before crowd that packed the
hall. Neither of the constestants
appeared to be in very good con-
dition, principally due from lack OF
training. The first round was
slightly in Woods favor and the
second opened up looking good for
Woods but Arnold got in a blow
that made his opponent groggy and
from that time on it was only a
question OF how long Woods would
last. The gong sounded in time to
save Woods from being knocked out
in the second round The third
round lasted but short time when
Woods received a blow in the jaw
that put him out.

PORT WING.

The election passed off very pleas
unity. The only opposition can
sfidates were for the board of super
vy3sors. The entire nomination ticket
gas elected, and general harmony
.3revails which it is hoped for the
a7aenifit of this community will always
ssxist subsequent to our town meet
szngs.
Port Wing has set pace in it's
moublic affairs that is entirely com
zmendable in every respect.
Conversation in financial appropri-
sations seem to meet with the heart
esst approval from all, especially the
heaviest taxpayers.
The town meeting has made it in.
eeumbent on the assessor to make a
personal examination of each sepa-
rate tract of real estate not to ex-
e5eed forty acres.
Port Wing expects to become an
important factor of the country
saswing to some of its natural advan-
wages the people here have very good
reasons to look forward to pros
sRerous future.

A daily newspaper recalls the fact
that just before leaving Hongkong
for Manila Aguinaldo issued procla-

die than be ungrateful to our Ameri-
can liberators. Where you see the
American flag flying, assemble in
numbers; they are our redeemers. I
But when Aguinaldo arrived at Ma
Mia and found that he could not lead
Admiral Dewey around by the nose,
he repudiated his own counsel aud
perpetrated the base ingratitude Of

The death of May Cook Sharp, as an

a great shock to her many friends in
this city, where she was so well known
particularly in musical circles. The pass
ing away of life so young and fun of
promise is indeed sad May Cook Sharp
was a hard worker in her profession, ap-
plying herself constantly to the piano
During her stay abroad she had the best
OF teachers and when, on her return
here. she appeared in public her many
friends were convinced that she had not
wasted away time while absent. She had
great technique and her playing Was
clean cut. Many of our music-loving peo-
pie who attended the concerts of the Or
chestral Union, in years gone by, VIII r.
member her performances of many in
portant piano compositions, among which
were the Weber's concert, Stueck, Bee
thoven's c minor and G major piano cor
certoS and the difficult A minor piano
concerto by Schuman. All these We're
rendered with full orchestra acompaai-
meuts with great success. Mrs. Srerp
was Of a very retiring disposition She
was greatly beloved by the circle Ct
friends she moved in, while a resident Of
this city.

My mother had been suffering
