1t seems that 0. J. Leu is again a
candidate for superintendent of
schools. The following is circular
letter which was handed US last week:
GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, July %, 1902
DEAR FRIEND:-SOme time ago /

ing a candidate for county Superin-
tendent of schools. Since then, how
ever. 1 have been urged by nearly
every teacher, by many of the leading
citizens of this county and especially

Seneca and Hansen to again make a
run for the office. In view of these
requests l again consent to accept the
office and, if elected, will continue to

ditions will permit.

for the nomination and, If nominated,
at the polls. Sincerely yours.
Q. j. LEU.
We do not know what party nomi-

on that point. We presume, however,
that he seeks the Democratic nomina-
tion, as he was nominated and elected
by that party for two successive terms.

The number of children, between
seven and fourteen years is S34. OF
this number l55 attend the Catholic
school; 81, the German school and 3,
Grafton Hall. There are 80 children
between seven and fourteen years who
have not attended school for at least
twelve weeks during the year, as the
law requires them to do.
The usual rate of estimating the
gross population by multiplying the
total number of children by three and
half would give Grand Rapids at pre-
sent 1856 Inhabitants. This may
seem large increase over the census
of 1900 but it is not far from correct.
INTERVIEW WITH THE ENUNIERATOR.
The city has one negro family and
one Italian family. The negro family
consists of four members and the
Italian, of five.
Little girl: "Ma don't care for any
thing"
Enumeration: "Tell your ma that |
want to take the census
Little girl, returning: "Ma don't
want no census today"
The enumeratOr was taken for a
feather-renovatOr by many families.
Some bachelors were afraid to give
any information. as they believed that
tax was about to be placed on their
heads.
Some tales of thrilling experiences
with bull dogs are constantly upon the
enumerator'S lips.
John Tomcyk, of the Fifth ward,
has the largest family-thirteen
children.
One family believes in distributing
their ratronage-one child goes to the
public schools, one to the German
school, and the third to the Catholic
school,
John Mann, of the Fourth ward,
has ten children. eight Of whom
attend the public schools.
mo! No. No. Can't understand
English" Bang went the door in the
enumerator's face.
There are four Witte families in
the Fifth ward, having together d
total of twenty-one children.
Those having large families of child
rem of school ages are: Nick Richard,
Fifth ward, nine; Louis Fritz, Sixth
ward, eight: j. Wheir, Seventh ward,
eight; Egnas Minta, Fifth ward, seven;
Nels Johnson, Eight ward, seven: Jos.
GOlganski, Eight ward, seven; }. w.
Natwick, Eight ward, seven; Frank
Stahl, First ward, seven: Louis
Schroeder, First ward, seven; Fred
Loock, Second ward, seven; Herman
Smith, Second ward. seven: August
KurZ, Fourth ward, seven.
Every ward on the east side has a
PodawiltZ family. The Second ward
has two families by that name.
Following are the names Of the
families having only boys of school
age: Albert Semrow, Third ward,
five boys; Mike Fahrner, Eight ward,
five; Julius Leloff, Eight ward, six.
Tim Riley, Sixth ward, has the
largest family of only girls in the city
AS rule the old families had more
children than the new one, and as
those in the old families pass beyond
the age of 20 years, there are not
enough passing above the age of -four
years to take their places, except as
families move into the city from out.
side. The enumerator says that the
only reasons he can give for this state
of things are that children are becom.
ing somewhat questionable among
the American families and that for
eign emigration to Grand Rapids is
not at present very heavy.
To sum up the whole matter, the
city is doing we'll in every respect
Improvements and prosperity are all
that can be desired.

Day.

Golf club yesterday afternoon, af-
forded great deal of interest to the
spectators and was close and excit-
ing throughout.
in the contest for the championship
cup, and here the victors finished
with / up each, which goes to show
that they were either only one hole
ahead at the 18th or played an extra
hole.

Ter in the first pair with 1 up, making
a score of 100. Miss Mott has won the
championship on previous occasion.
In the second pair Miss Blunt made
score of 1913, but was defeated by
Miss Van Patten with 1 up.
The victory of Mrs. Lardner over

Skinner being one of the best con-
testants in the club and on several
occasions champion. Mrs. Williams
defeated Mrs. Mixter with up after
playing 10 holes to decide.

Judge Chytraus in a divorce suit
brought by the baroness, who was

Failure to provide and extreme cruel

| Letters in the barOn's possession
show that two years ago he received
remittance from Germany amount
ing to $4,000, and that he is in re-
ceipt of an annual income of more
than $1,000, yet in his brief career in
the village of West Grossdale, where
he brought his bride, he has pledg-
ed, it is said, nearly all of his person
| al property, has borrowed money
from his wife, until she had no more
to give, and, finally, was obliged to
take position as bookkeeper in tho
auditors office of the Rock Island
railroad at sos a month.
According to the bill the baron
married his present wife at Dayen-
port last June. She was a widow,
Mrs. Emma Smith, and had a child,
years old, and a small amount of
money. The baron had been mar
wife in Davenport. but was divorced
from her two years ago.

The present baroness says that she
learned to her sorrow that her hus-
band was a man of violent temper.
She alleges that before the end of
two weeks she was obliged to return
to her mother in Davenport. Several
times she returned, trusting his
promises to do better, but he refused
TO pay household bills, and, she says,
threatened to kill her when she ask
ed for money.
Instead of purchasing the house,
and presenting her with the deeds,
as he had promised, the baroness al
leges that she has discovered that he
paid only $50 down, and has alto
gether paid only about $3.50, being at
the present time behind in his pay
ments. He has threatened, she says,
that as soon as he gets his next re-
mittance from Germany, about S1,750
of which will arrive Oct. 1, he will
leave her and go where she cannot
find him.
The younger brother, Paul Won
Schaezler, it is declared, is royal
chamberlain to the king of Bavaria,
and occupies the family castle at
Vorbach, and pays to his older broth

The baron has been in this country

RAILWAY NEWS.

| Section foremen over the entire
Rock Island system are receiyin.r
orders to take up all facing switches
and substitute in their places trail
ing switches to be used exclusively
hereafter. Although this change will
mean additional work for local
freight trains, it is a safety meas
ure and will prevent many accident.
When this change will have been
effected it will be impossible for an
incoming train to head onto a side
track. 1t will be necessary for it to
back in. 1t will be recalled that an
open or defective switch was the
cause of the wreck that occurred at
Geneseo three years ago. An ac-
cident of this kind would be impos-
sible with the facing switches taken
up, and the action of the officials of
the Rock Island system in dispensing
with these switches oter the entire
system will be appreciated by the
travelling public.
