For DiStric Attorney.

Alex. Higgins, the Republican NOM
inee for District Attorney, needs no
introduction to the electors of Villas
County. When Villas County was or
gained, Mr.. Higgins was appointed
superintendent of Schools. He dis
charged the duties of the office in
such an efficient manner, that he has
been the choice of the people for the
same position at every general cleo
ton held in the county. Mr.. Higgins
was educated in the Oshk osh Normal
School and graduated from the Min
nesota Law School about two years
ago, since which time he has practiced
law in Eagle River and vicinity. He
is well equipped for the discharge of
the duties of the office of District At
torney.
He is making a clean vigorous Cam
paign not only for himself but for the
whole Republican ticket and merits the
support of all Republicans.

ticket, was born in Chippewa County
SO years ago. Fifteen years ago he
came to Minocqua where he has ever

contract. He was elected Clerk of the
Circuit Court for Villas county two

mon sense, he would be most accept
able officer

The Villas County Democrat en-
tertains the highest regard for some
of the Republican candidates for coun-
ty offices and regrets the neceeity Of
striking a blow against them, but
Villas county must again roll up a
Democratic majority, Villas County
Democrat, Minocqua.
We are glad to see Bro. Dunn Of
the Democrat has good feelings to-
wards the Republican candidates, but
we cannot see why there must be u
Democratic majority this year. Oh,

For Coroner.

The Office of Coroner is of more i'm
portance than the average voter
thinks. The Coroner is the only man
in the county who can serve papers on
the sheriff. Emergencies may arise
that will call for judicious and in
telligent discharge of the duties Of
this office. The Republicans have
nominated man for this Office whose
name is a guarantee for the faithful
discharge of the duties of the office,
Ellis Weaver, of Woodruff, the only
farmer nominated for county office in
Villas county. He deserves an cleo
ton by handsome majority.

charge of the Electric Lighting plant
of the Ross Lumber Company at Ar
or Vitae. Mr.. Breest is the town
clerk of the Town of Arbor Vitae,
which position he has held for several
years, dischargihg his duties in such
an efficient manner that he has been
elected without opposition. His cour-
teous and pleasing manner, his up
right, honest business methods and
fair and impartial dealing with others
have made for him legions of friends
who will stand by him on election day.
The Town of Arbor Vitae, whose
Republican majority in the last cleo
ton exceeded the combined MAORI
tiles of all the other towns, has no
other candidate on the county ticket.
This fact should not be overlooked by
the Repu blicans of the county. Mr.,
Breest is entitled to and should re-
ceiye, not only the vote, but the act
i've support of every Republican in
the county.

well known by the people of Villas
equity, having resided in Minocqua for
ten years and two years at Eagle Riv-

one of the very best officers the coun-
ty has ever had and the manner in
which be has performed the duties Of
that office in the past, is not only a
credit to him self but a source of great
convenience to those who have had
business dealings with him. That he
thoroughly understands every part
and detail of the Register work. will
be admitted by all parties that have
had business transactions with that
office. Walter received a re-nomina-
ton without any opposition and will

ajority.

His Injuries Proved Fatal.

The following was taken from The
Amigo Republican, in regard to the
accident of Conductor Weeks:
while Tom Weeks, the well known
railroad man and family were out rid
ing on Sunday a whitfetree broke and
the team started to run. The pole
ran into the ground and the surrey
containing the entire family was
hurled against the fence throwing the
family ont and catching M. Weeks
under the demolished vehicle MI
Weeks was very seriously injured but
the rest of the family escaped with
slight injuries. He had a slight hem
orrhage and was hurt internally and
we understand some bones were bi Ok
en-. He had been in precarious con-
dition all the week but we hear is
some better to-day"
LATER. Mr.. Weeks died from the
injuries he sustained, Friday night at
$3.50 at his home in Amigo, the re-
mains were taken to Plymouth Satur-
day for burial.
Mr.. Weeks was conductor of the
local freight, and had many friends
here and all along the line who will
miss him, and all extend their heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family
in this hour of need

For Superintendent of Schools.

Grant Cook, the Republican candi-
date for Superintendent of Schools, is
well known to the residents of Eagle
River and vicinity, having lived in
this town since 1888. He has grown
up among usand by his earnest siren
uous work as a scholar and teacher
has won general appreciation and
proven himself qualified for the posit-
ion which he now seeks in every way.
Prof. Cook began teaching in 1891
at the Lac Vieux Desert school when
nineteen years of age. He then went
to Ripon College for year but was
obliged to resume teaching again.
The next few years he taught at Three
Lakes and in the Marcoe District near
this place, where he remained for
three years, refusing fourth year to
attend the Milwaukee Normal School.
MI. Cook completed his Normal
course at Milwaukee with fifty weeks
more work to his credit than required
for graduation.
Since graduation, Prof. Cook taught
at Marinette Wis. resigning to accept
the potion of principal of the four
year course High School at Birnam-
wood, Wis, where he again demon
strated his ability to teach. His
range of school experience coveres all
classes of public schools. He is a
school man in the best sense of the
word and not politician. His elect
ion will insure thorough supervision
of all schools in the county, no matter
where located. We know Prof. Cook
to be studious and energetic young
man of exemplary habits. He has
made a success in his work this far
and will make us q first class super
irtendeut.

WOMEN AT WORLDS FAIR:
Mrs. Helen Boice. .Runsicker Says
They Should Wear Good Clothes
and Keep Their Rair Curled.

In discussing the probable
scope. of duties Of the board of
Women Managers of the worlds
fair, Mrs Helen Boice- HLnsicker,
the member from Pennsylvania,
says: II agree with a com mis-
sioner from a Western state, who
thinks that the women should be
bea tiful instead OF workers. I
think the women could give the
best service to the Exposition
by making suggestions for the
finishing touches of the different
exhibits, to insure an artistic ef-
feet. Besides this, ''she said, Il
believe we should put on our
best clothes, keep our hair curl
cd and play the hostess. There
is a strong feeling in the National
Worlds Fair Commission, from
whom the Women's Board Of
Managers get their appointments
and instructions, in favor of hav-
ing building at the Fair dedeca-
ted to American womenhood ana
home, think ii is Il splendid
idea, forit would show the fore
igncrs, especially who believe
that the American women walk
slipshuu over their husbands,
that the men Of America really
have great respect and admiru-
ton for the women.'
