Ashland, Wis, April 3.-From indi-
cations last night bIoodshed may be
the result of the election in Hayward,
Sawyer county. A bitter and strained
condition of affairs exists there and
at any moment is likely to cause
trouble. The reform TICKET
elected by a great majority is said by
the incumbent town officers to have
been the result OF questionable
methods and the incumbent officers
refuse absolutely to recognize the
newly elected set OF officers as their
successors. The reform element is
headed by Col. r. l.. Mccormick. who
was the reform candidate for chairman,
and the whole city is in an uproar and
the feeling at white heat. Judge
Bailey of Eau Claire has been called

and the days amusements were cut
short on that account. The grove in
which the celebration was held is an
ideal spot. There is splendid shade

Places were made where families
could spread their dinners. and every

OF the people. Mitchell sent down

went to Whites grove to spend the
day, some joining III the union cele-
bration and others made up into
parties going to other parts OF the
grove. At the union celebration

ed Of songs and one or two recita-
tions. A game Of base ball was played
between Bethel and Riverside, the
latter club being picked up for the
occasion, The former club won.
The rain caught good many but
very few got wet,as they had shelter
from the trees to some extent and
the carriages were closed with the
curtains. After the rain ceased the
people were not long in leaving the
grounds.
S In the city things were more or less
quiet. Practically all the stores

afternoon about 3 o'clock there was
some excitement occasioned by the
turning in OF the fire alarm when a
barrel Of straw in the rear of Rath-.

stray firecracker. The barrel was got
out in the middle of the street and
the blaze extinguished. Just about

Mt. Vernon and Ethan Celebrated

The national holiday was not cele-
brated in Mitchell and this gave the
people of the city an opportunity to
dispose Of themselves in any manner
they saw fit Mt. Vernon and Ethan
both celebrated the day, while small
ler cell elebrations were held in other
parts. The day was a delightful one
from beginning to end, although the
latter part of the day ended in a rain
storm, which covered every portion
Of the county. 1t is getting to be a
notori GUS fact thatit rains in South
Dakota on the national holiday, this
having been the case in the past
three or four years, and it has made
| the celebration all the more success
ful, even though it interferred some

iday.
The greater portion Of the Mitchell
people drove out to Mt. Vernon to
celebrate. With the celebration was
combined the old settlers reunion,
lit being the eighteenth anniversary.

celebration was counted a great sue

In Korean schools the master is
dressed in white, generally wears spec
tacles and always has a rod in order
that the child may not be spoiled. He
gathers his flock around him in the
most fatherly and deals out
justice with an unsparing hand. The
scholars are dressed in their best, but
must study without their shoes. These
latter are kept in sight of the master
at all times. The course Of study is not
very extensive 70 look at, but when it
m to studying the Korean language
through the medium Of Chinese it must
be confessed that the beginning of a
course is difficult. The scholar is first
taught the name and meaning Of Chi
nese characters and then their meaning
in Korean, just as though he were
obliged to learn English through the
medium of the Greek alphabet. Stu
dents keep up a steady droning noise
as each one goes on repeating his por-
ton Of the tasks aloud, regardless of
what is going on round him.

Tips In St. Petersburg.

Speaking of high prices, Henry Nor
mans book on Russia throws some in
teresting light On what it incidentally
costs to visit st. Petersburg. To begin
with. he tells us every house and hotel
there contains a swarm Of servants,
and each n expects a tip. The man
who takes your coat and hat at a pri-
vate house thinks 10 cents little enough,
and if you give a dollar or two to the
attendant who performs the same mod
est service at an official residence he is
only satisfied. The tips Of a wealthy
Russian to a waiter at a good reStau-
rant are something enormous. A de-
cent room in a first class hotel costs
about 81 a day, and a closed carriage to
take you to dinner, ten minutes drive
away, costs So. A few sheets of note
paper in your hotel costs you a shilling
and the cheapest kind Of d bath 81. st.
Petersburg is far and away the most
expensive city in the world.

Hon the Flood Game.

The aboriginal blacks of Australia
have a queer tradition about the flood.
They say that at one time there was no
water ON the earth at all except in the
body Of en- immense frog, where men
and women could not get at it.. There
was a great council on the subject, and
it was found out that if the frog could
be made to laugh the waters would run
out of his mouth and the drought be
ended.
So several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to in
duce him to laugh, but he did not ever
smile, and so the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened to
think of the queer contortions into
which the eel could twist itself, and it
was straightway brought before the
frog, and when the frog saw the wrig.
Cling he laughed so loud that the whole
earth trembled, and the waters poured
out Of his mouth in a great flood, In
which many people were drowned.
The black people were saved from
drowning by the pelican. This thought
full bird made a big canoe and went
with it all among the islands that ap'
peared here and there above the sur
face of the water and gathered in the
black people and saved them.

The Extinct Quagga.

The quagga, the half cousin to the
wild ass, has vanished from Africa
and only exists as imperfect specimens
in the European museums.
The quagga exists as a name still in
South Africa, for the name has been
wrongly applied to Burche1l's zebra,
but the true quagga, which took it's
name from it's cry ''quacha," has been
extinct since 1872, when the last of
his or. rather, Of her race, for this
quagga was a female, died in the Lon
don biological society's menagerie.
Its extinction in South Africa was
due solely to the zeal with which the
Dutch farmers hunted it for its hide,
and it is a s%addening reflection that
thousands of Katirs used to be fed on
it by their Boer masters.
The idiotic w~astefulness of thus ex-
terminating a species becomes the
more marked in view of the fact that
the quagga. which was midway be-
tween a zebra and a wild ass, could
be broker to harness and was the
bravest as well as the hardest of ami
mails. Some Boer farmers used to
keep tame quaggas on their farms to
Craze with horses in order to protect
them from beasts of prey.

Loves Final Age,

"The last age of love in a mans life
is the dotage," says Dorothy Dix in
Ainslee's. This is peculiar to wealthy
old men, and it's most pronounced
symptom is a mania for presenting
diamonds and opening bottles for
chorus girls. who call him papa. At
other times in a mans life he has some
slight misgivings about love being al
ways conducted on q reciprocal basis,
but when he reaches this age he throws
fears to the winds. He knows he is
loved for himself alone. The maj at
twenty-five doubts his power TO win a
woman'S heart. The man Of seventy
five is cocksure that he is a charmer
nothing feminine can resist. He knows
the ratio Of his destinations has in
creased with his advancing years, and
he quarrels with his family, who are
cruel enough to Suggest that the debu-
tante he leads to the altar may have a
weather eye on his will.
"The last age of love is the most dan
gerous of them all and is generally ia
tai. In fact, love is like the measles
it is safest and goes easiest with a nan
when he has it early in life"

Time Tables ms Biographies.

II eve realized the value Of time
tables until L got hold Of a class Of
boys old enough to take an interest in
geography" said a New York public
school teacher. $50 far as the study Of
maps goes, l can get better results
from the use of time tables than from
all the biographies in the market. Maps
that have been prepared for the pur-
pose Of ~cultivating the youthful mind
in the matter of locality are Stunned
as bugbears by all except the studious
few. But just set a dozen boys around
a pile of time tables and tell them to To-
cate certain cities, lakes and rivers,
and they Will work like beavers and
come out letter perfect every time. For
most children time tables and accompa-
nying maps are a ource of unfailing
interest both in and out Of school
hours. 1t is true that this u~northodox
method may give the boys exagger-
ated ideas as to the Importance Of GER
tain railroads. but they seem to get
enough good out of the investigation
to counterfeit such Impressions"
