School Board Wants to Hear From
the People.
THE PURCHASE OF A BUILDING
Proposition From the Catholic people Is
Being Considered Probability of
a Fine New Catholic Being
Built This Summer.

The School Board have called a
meeting Of the citizens to gather at
the Town Hail this evening, for the
purpose of discussing the PROPOSE
ton made by the Catholic Church
people to buy the school building
which the Church people recently
fitted up. The Church paid the
county $500 for the building, it
having been Intended for a court
house. Afterwards it is claimed
that $1,000 was put on the property.
Members of the School Board who
are acquainted with the facts be-
lieve that the building would be a
bargain for the town, as new school
room must be provided However,
the Board hesitates some about
making the purchase without having
first an expression of the people.
In case the Catholics sell the
building it is understood that they
will Immediately begin the work of
erecting a fine new church where
their present church stands. The
new edifice will be large enough for
their church and school combined.

Dear Brother
We had the Canadian Jubilee
Singers here last Saturday evening
in the Opera Hall, and they are fine.
| want to assure you and your peo-
pie that none Of their published
testimonials are overdrawn. I have
heard all tie other famous Jubilee
Troupes, also many celebrated white
companies, such as the Hutchin-
sons, ETC., ETC., none of which sur
pass them, and no other Jubilee
Singers equaled them. We had a
splendid audience including nearly
all the musicians of the city. AS we
have two bands and one orchestra
company, and several teachers of
music, there were no lack of critics,
The universal expression is-s'the
best musical entertainment ever
given here. : Should they ever re-
turn here there is no building that
would hold the people who would
want tickets. Yours Fraternaliy,
5. W. INGHAM.
The Opera House, was packed to
the doors, upon the appearance of
the Canadian Jubilee Singers. and
from start to close of the program,
these sweet singers held the audi
ence spelloound. They cannot be
too highly praised. Their rendition
OF the plantation Negro melodies is
well nigh unsurpassed.

Nearly All the Advertised Land is
Sold.
1T WAS A VERY SPIRITED SALE
There Were Many Bidders present and
the Sale Was Very Exciting at
imes.-List of Those who
Bid.

The tax sale on Tuesday was the
most spirited ever held in Bayfield,
county. Nearly all the descriptions
were sold, and Deputy Treasurer H.
P. Axelberg estimates that there
will be brought into the treasury
from eight to ten thousand dollars.
There was a good deal of contest
on some of the descriptions, and in
one case D. M. Maxcy bid in the
seven-milliorth of an acre, which
would give him strip of about
three inches of land across the
north end of the land. This was
the smallest fraction ever purchased
at a Bayfield, County tax sale. The
principal bidders were G.. A. Lamor-
eaux and F. J, Cclignon, of Ashland;
Mark Hessey, A. r. Mead and P. J.
Savage, of Iron River; w. w.
Downs and George Quayle, of Bay
field; F. A. Boul, of Bibon; F. w.
Fitze, of Drulamond; and D. M.

And mouth most kiss provoking,

The first one from her fingers.
She made some comment on a Ounce.
Then, laughingly, she beckoned
For more tobacco, and at once
Began to roll a second.
Between her dainty finger tips
She fashioned it to please me;
Then held it to her rosebud lips,
And lighted it to tease me.

this season still more will seek the

Many new and pretty cottages
have been erected and more are I'M

from persons who want to spend the
summer or the island,
A. McGillis, of Ashland, who run
the Island View two years ago, has
leased Treaty Hall and will move to
the island next week and prepare for
receiving boarders.
Madeline Island has been handi-
capped in the past on account of in
sufficient hotel accommodation to
meet the demand, but this has now
been remedied and there is place
for all who may come.
Three new gasoline boats will add
greatly to the pleasure Of summer
life on the island These boats are
owned by Jacob Johnson and Hans
Austed, of this city, and Col. F. M.
Woods, OF Lincoln, Nebraska, and
will afford abundant opportunity for
boating among the islands.
This viii undoubtedly be the bust
est season Madeline has ever seen,
as island residents say people from
all parts of the country are writing
for information regarding the advan-
tages and surroundings of the
island.
Beautiful beyond description is
this island of the Finland sea. Where
could those, tired of the hum and
drum of city life, find more rest and
comfort, than to spend month on

Sir Henry Twins prodigality to-
ward servants was well illustrated
some years ago when he was ut Bluff
Point, Lake Champlain. He gave the
driver of the break which daily ran to
Au Sable Chasm $50 I'm two weeks and
feed the other servants with like reck-
lessness. The guests of the hotel grew
very indignant, because there was no
getting along with the employees, who
almost literally fought among them
selves to minister to the needs of the
English actor and sadly neglected the
rest of the guests.

Moist Heat, n Thorough Germicidal
Agent, Is Used.
When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on a framework consisting of
series of racks suspended from long
car running OH track and so arranged
that when the racks are filled the
whole thing may be run inside one Of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
with which the station is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight feet
in diameter and fitted inside with con-
tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin-
ders are covered with asbestus and
swathed in felt, and when the cylinder
caps are on they are alright. When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat is forced
through the pipes at q temperature of
$50 degrees, and this is followed by
moist heat raised to n temperature of
$50 degrees. The pressure of HOm six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
heat is sufficient to force it through
heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth
ing.
After a period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened, the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost i'm
mediately. The clothing is unframed
by this process. and the moist heat is a
thorough germicidal agent. 1t is an in
teresting fact that if Il freshly launder-
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder it will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need of anoth-
er starching. The evaporation is so rap
id. however. that it is Immediately re-
stored to its original condition, not
even the gloss being removed.-Leslie's

YOKOHAMA BY NIGHT.
Lantern illumination Makes the City
Akin TO FniryInnd.


4 row of paper lanterns in the black
shadow of wall is the first impress
sion the newly arrived traveller has of
Yokohama as he steps from his SAM
pan" on to the wharf at night.
The lanterns hang low and almost
motionless, but at the word ''rickshaw'
they begin to sway, and with silent,
almost rhythmical movement they
come rushing toward him. moment
later he discovers that each lantern is
attached to n rickshaw, which offers
for less than half yen an hour to con-
vey him anywhere his fancy may lead
him. But so where he will the lantern
is always there, dangling and swayinS
and dimly flashing.
The lantern on the rickshaw is n
characteristic detail of the night pic
ture of Yokohama. 1t is a series of
brilliant dashes of color under a cloud
less, starlit sky, famed by n soft
breeze which seems half OF the sea and
half of the tropics. with smiling, doll
like people gliding about everywhere.
1t hardly seems real. 1t isn't fairyland
exactly, because fairies are not sup
posed to be always as picturesque as
are these japanese. Certain it is that
few things anywhere in the round
world can be more beautiful than Ian
tern lighted Yokohama.
AS the occidental crosses the bridge
over the canal from the foreign quar-
ter and enters the native city he sees
a bewildering maze of lights. Through
out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few
and far between. fact which makes
the lantern illumination all the more
conspicuous. They are not hung at reg
ular heights or intervals. but make a
sort of tangle of soft colored lights
over the front of the buildings and
even across the street.-New York Mail
