AN OMNIBUS MOVE.
Government Preparing TO Issue
a Thirteen-Cent Stamp.


Ominous as it may seem the postof-
fee department is soon to issue l3-
cent stamp. 1t will be the first in the
history of our postal service, and the
department officials state in mitigation
that it is intended entirely for foreign
use. 1t is demanded By the increasing
registration of foreign letters, and the
denomination is intended to cover the
postage of cents on letter matter sent
abroad and the s cents required for
registration fee.
There were 100000 pieces of for
eign registered mail matter last year.
The new stamp will bear the likeness
of the late President Harrison, and
the designers say it will be one of the
most artistic bits of engraving that
has yet been produced for the depart
ment.

From the Marshfield Times.

From the Marshfeld Times.
A most lamentable tragedy took
place at Rockville last Saturday.
Little Mary Endress, the 7-year-oId
daughter of Mrs. Charles Crooks, being
shot and instantly killed by her older
brother. The little girl was playing
about in room on the first floor of
her home when the boy who is about
twelve years Of age, brought a double
barrelled. breechloading shot gun
down the stairway from the second
story and as he entered the room the
piece was discharged in some un-
accountable manner, the heavy charge
Of shot striking the girl in the back of
the head producing instant death.
Charles EndresS, the lad who held
the guu when it was discharged was
so excited over the accident that he
can give no intelligible account of the
shooting and is uncertain whether he
dropped the gun or the trigger caught
on the casing of the stairway. He is
nearly distracted over the occurrence,
The boy was bringing the gun down
stairs to play with and did not know
the gun was loaded. The mother Of
the two children formerly Mrs.
EndreSs. was recently married to
Charles Crooks.

Hiqh School Contest.
From the Stevens Point Journal.


A declamatOry contest Is being ar
ranged, to be held here in the near
future The local High school is in
a league representing the schools in
Grand Rapids, Marshfield. Wausau
and Steven Point. MarShfield will not
enter the contest and the plans of the
other two are not known, but if they
do enter, a contest will be held be-
tween them and the Stevens Point
High school before the date Set for
the district contest, to be held at the
Normal in May. The rules Of the State
league require all contestants to be
members of literary society and
also that their standing must be above
grade. The time of the local contest
is not known, but there will be several
contestants. Last year there was a
great deal Of enthusiasm among all
the students, which helped at the con-
tests If ali contests will enter with
| a determination to succeed there is no
known reason why Stevens Point
should not have chance to win at all
contests and finally carry away the
highest hOnOrS in.the state.

First Congregational church in this

had the privilege of listening TO this
series of lectures, will agree with us
that they have been strong IN ideal

his hearers, and promoting great sood

on these particular evenings, a large

of his church, have availed themselves
of the opportunity to hear these III"

paid fifty cents to hear lectures that
did not compare with his in COM

hearers helpful thoughts and ideas
and something to think about. We

himself would like to see more}ot the
business men in the habit OF church-
going. The value Of church IN any
community is fully appreciated by the
business man, but he fOrgetS the ln-
portance of his attendance, not only
as duty to himself, but the example
he would set for others. Every man
on the Sabbath day, should consider it
his duty to worship in some church.
If this was done, the community in
which we.live would be more ideal than
it is at present. We make no charge
for this suggestion, and admit that we
might do better ourselves.

Since the advent of mail service
over the Princeton branch of the

from the north and west arrives here
at 1:35 p. m. The mail from the
south and east arrives here at 10
O'Clock a. m. These trains add con-

When We Were TWentY-one.

The play Saturday night, while
first class in every respect, was not
as largely attended as the high quality
of the play warranted. Those who
attended speak in the highest terms
of the company and report them as
among the best that ever came to
Grand Rapids. Perhaps the high
price Of admission charged had some
thing TO do with the small attendance,
yet good companies are under heavy
expense and necessarily have to charge
more. Were they to come again, the
attendance would be much larger.

Irish Leaders DauQhter.

A recently published song entitled fair to become very popular. is the work of Sheela O'Donovan Rossa. daughter of the man who has fought so long for Ireland's freedom and who at the age of eighty Is still an active advocate in behalf of his country. While the words of the song were written by her husband. J. J. McIn- tyre. she composed the melody, which has a signing plaintiveness particular ly adapted to a sentimental ditty. A good idea of the nature of the svns can be obtained from the first verse and the chorus, which run: My fortunes are not what wish for your sake
 they might be;
 for thee,
 And when l ask you to be mine. as will surely This is the substance of the things that will gay
 to you:
 My heart for your heart
 Is all can give;
 
 As long live;
 My smile for your smile
 Until life be OCT;
 These give me, sweetheart;
 ask nothing more.
 Mrs. McIntyre's compositions are all unique in style and original in theme. As rule they possess a quality Of weirdness which is bound to attract attention.
 Besides being talented composer. Mrs. Mcintyre is a skillful musician. She was born not long after her fa- ther came to America as an Irish ex- ile, having received q sentence of ban ishment for twenty-five years. Rossa's love for Ireland had brought him noth ing but fame and misfortune, and his old feelings now seem to find new vent in the musical writings Of his daughter. When she does not drift in to the plaintive minor key, she gets SC close 10 it that the major has that re .cr rkable sound which has made Irish
