fright and the effects of the drug she
heard one of the men say: This is not
the woman we are after" They left her
without doing any futher harm and did
not rob her of a sum Of money which she
had en- her person. The place is lonely
one, but is not frequented by tramps.

Fire destroyed the Oconnmowoc high
school building Monday afternoon,
damaging it to the extent Of nearly
$4,000, and leaving little but the
lower walls. The blaze is thought to
have started in the chemical laboratory.
The 500 pupils who attend the school
saved few of their books, and will at
tend classes at the city hall and churches
until some other provision is made.
JanIt0r William Skinner proved him
self hero by going into the basement
of the burning building and opening
the boiler of the heating plant to save
the building from being blown up by an
explosion. A tower 100 feet high fell
through the first and second floors and
into the basement, after the fire had
burned some time.
| The fire was discovered by one of the
teachers at 1850 O'Clock Monday 1t was
in the chemical laboratory, and the
janitor tried to put it out after sending
a fire alarm. The fire department
responded within five minutes, but
could not work its apparatus rapidly and
the blaze became uncomfortable. A large
number IT books, text and library, were
taken out at the start.
The upper walls fell shortly after
and then the janitOr went into the
basement to shat off the boilers, coming
out just before the tower fell. The FIRE

s'MAKE PLAIN STATEMENTS

1t is not difficult to recall the pub
lie leaving to mass meetings when
questions of moment were on the
tapis; but the mass meeting is a wan
ing institution in these United States
at the present day. More and more
the people depend upon the newspa-
pers to voice their sentiments on
public men and public interests.
1t has been learned that mass
meetings seldom exert influence or
result in effective action 1t is the
old story of too many hands spoil
the broth, so now man speaks to
the newspaper when he wishes to in
duct any new lines of thought or ac-
ton for the public benefit. Although
public journals gain nothing in cir
culation or business by exposing the
misconduct or weakness of dishonest
officials, and the law does not lay the
burden of accusation upon them, yet
it would be a poor exponent of the
people that neglected to point out
where and by whom public funds
were being wasted, even without
designating the remedy. 1t is a
moral obligation which excites the
virulent enmity of the officials they
may expose and the persistent hos
tility of the political machine which
may be responsible for official dere-
LECTION. The farmer, the lawyer, the
merchant, has not time to- investigate
public affairs, and should the press
neglect this scrutiny of the public
business, there would be no means of
keeping tab on the servants of the
people. 1t is natural to expect that
the motives of such journals are mis-
represented and their editors ma
ligned, but the great body of the
common people stunchly uphold
such newspapers and will eventually
withdraw support and countenance
from papers too easy going or too
well subsidized to print the facts
about the public service.
