Setting the lantern down, she
dragged the woman from the place Of
horrors and laid her down on the cold
floor of the passage. Then she swung
the door shut.
Again she began working over The
reese. Olga saw that she was suffering
severe nervous shock, and the only
hope of restoration Of her senses was
immediate removal from the place.
Swinging her lantern upon her arm,
she seized hold of Therese and began
dragging her along the passage, going
backward in order to exert a greater
pull on the unconscious woman.
In some way-she never knew how
she lost her bearings and came sud-
denly against a great stone pillar
which stood in the center of sort Of
court, from which passages ran like
the spokes Of wheel.
For moment she stood there half
unwilling to believe the truth. Then,
as the horrible fact was borne in upon
her. she let the shoulders of Therese lie
neglected on the floor while she stared
helplessly around her. She could not
discover the one through which she
hadscome.
She was lost! =.

Lecture Course in Wisconsin.

Culture is having hard, long
fight in its effort to gain recognition
in some parts of our sister State of
Wisconsin, the home of Spooner,
La Toilette, Babcock, Rose, Villas,
Bragg, and once the abiding place
of Jerry Rusk. Our contemporary,
the New Richmond Voice, for in
stance says:
River Falls Citizens Lecture
Course Association is getting in the
game. That's all right, but if we
can get few factories in New Rich
mond we will try to struggle along
without the Lecture Course Asso-
citation.
Far be it from us to belittle the
benefits that accrue from the factory,
whether it be tack, plow, shoe OF
soap, but if New Richmond can't
have factories should that fact give
her an excuse to rail at lecture
coursesi The lecture course is an
excellent thing in some ways. II
makes little or no smoke; it gives
employment to certain people; il
serves now and then to give the mer
an opportunity to see how the
churches look on the inside, and
occasionally it is instructive.
While we hope that New Rich
mond may not be doomed to be
factoryless forever, we would ear
nestly advise the town to reconsider
its decision concerning the lecture
course and at least permit the lattel
to show what it can do. We have
lurking suspicion that it might BIZ
a good thing for New Richmond

Shall County superintendent
Be Appointed?

It will be remembered that the Leg
islature in its session of 1901 had be-
fore ii bill to make the office OF
county superintendent Of schools an
appointive one, these officials to be
named by the state superintendent.
Such vigorous, general protest was
raised all over the state against the
provisions of a bill that would give
such power to state official that the
bill was dropped.
Recently our attention has been
called to the fact that the proposed
constitutional amendment relating
to education to be voted upon this
fall carries this identical provision.
1t will be noticed that the amend
ment, if adopted, raises the salary of
the state superintendent from ST., POO
to $4,000 year; provides for his
election in the sprin G; extends his
term of office to four years; and
permits the state superintendent to
appoint the county and city super
intendents of schools. These are
the words of the last clause of the
proposed amendment:
"7He term Of office, time and
manner Of electing or APPOINT.
ING all other officers Of superOt-
sion eff public instruction shall be
fixed by LazV."
