ADMIRAL LSCHLEYHAS
BUSY DAY SEEING
ST. PAUL
Visits Hamline University
Where He Addresses the
Students - In the After
noon the Admiral Speaks
to the Legislature, and At
tends Opera in the Evening

Admiral Schley was put through a
busy day in st. Paul yesterday and was
hustled from one function into an
other so rapidly as to keep him con-
stantly on the move. In the morning
he was taken to Hamline university to
address the students, and he returned
to his hotel barely in time to have
luncheon before the afternoon parade.
After the parade came the receptions
at the capitol and the call upon Gov.
Ramsey filing in the time until the
dinner hour. and after dinner the thea
ter party and more receptions.
Admiral Schley was conveyed to
Hamline in Thomas Lowry's private
trolley car, which did not leave the
corner of Fifth and Wabasha streets
until 1920, nearly an hour later than
the time announced. In the accom-
panying party were Col. Mcclure, Lu-
cius F. Hubbard, former governor of
the state; Mayor Robert A. Smith,
II. +. Smith, president, and c. p. Stine,
secretary of the Commercial club;
John Caulfeld, f. S. Chittenden, and
w. z. JeWett, j. NJ Hackney and Dr.
Bridgman representing the university.
Owing to the delay in the start from
st. Paul, the reception which had been
planned, was necessarily omitted and
the $50 students of the institution were
at once assembled in the chapel for the
formal addresses. When the admiral
entered he was greeted with such
demonstration as only a body of col
lege students can produce. There were
cheers for the hero of Santiago and
for the members of his party, and for
nearly everybody else whose name
was mentioned all interspersed with
college yells.
Admiral Schley was introduced to
the students by DR.. Bridgman as the
hero of Santiago, and as soon as the
noise had sufficiently subsidized, spoke
as follows:
Anecdote of Farraqut.
"Mr. President and My Dear Young
People: 1t is indeed a great privilege
for me to be with you and listen to
the kind words that have been said
about me, but l think, however, in the
extravaganza of praise it should be
remembered that the recipient is
somewhat modest man. l find myself
constantly embarrassed by the success
sion of fetes, receptions, and especially
by the numerous portraitures of my
self, which l have seen on every side
during my trip, and some of which are
almost as bad as you have seen in
some newspapers.

I was overloaded with rank which 1
did not know what to do with. and
charged with responsibilities which l
perhaps attached too much importance

number on the program. The
question was, Resolved, that the

to One.
The entertainment given by the
high school pupils last evening at the
Lincoln building assembly room was a
success in the words fullest meaning.

of the applause. This was the first

orchestra is composed of the follow
ing: Violins, Frank Natwick, Hugh

places of business two nights each
week at $50 p. m., which will be on

WRITE GOOD POETRY
In THE FOURTH GRADE

The fourth grade, in charge of Miss
Daisy Wakefield, has written good
Christmas poem for the WooD COUNTY
REPORTER. It will appear in next
weeks ISSUE The following article
appeared in the Wisconsin Journal of
Education pfaising Miss Wakefield
and her pupils work:
A first line for poem was written
on the blackboard:
1.-The autumn leaves are falling.'
The children then wrote second
line, each writing independently. The
best line was chosen and written with
the first.
The autumn leaves are falling,
The trees will soon be bare"
Each child then wrote a third line
and tho best was selected as before.
1.-The autumn leaves are falling,
The trees will soon be bare,
For Mother Natures calling"
So the poem grew, line at a time,
no one person writing it, but all
anxious to be successful contributors.
1t took several days to complete the
work, but the interest grew until the
following was completed:
1.-The autumn leaves are falling,
The trees will soon be bear,
For Mother Natures calling
To all her children dear.
0 listen. The wind is coming,
To put the leaves to bed,
And drowsy bee is humming
To each little sleepy head.
The apples are getting mellow,
Like summers sunset skies;
The pumpkins are turning yellow,
And we shall soon have pies.
The birds are southwark flying,
Over hill and plain;
The autumn winds are signing.
For November's come again.
The ground will all be covered
With beautiful soft white snow;
And where the birds once lowered,
Down the hills We'll go.
Thanksgiving will soon be coming;
And the children Will be surprised
When they see the great big turkey,
And apples, and nuts, and pies"
The completed poem will. not, be.
come classic, but it compares quite
favorably with some that pass as
pieces to speak" in many of our
educational papers edited by older
heads.

DENIES HE IS
A CANDIDATE
W. D. Conner. Member OF County
Board, Does Not Want
G0vernorship.
STORY PRINTED BY MANY
PAPERS OF THE STATE
Mr.. Connor's Friends Believe
Story Was Conc0cted by
StalwartS.

W. D. Connor, OF MarShielG, mem
Der of the county board, and his
friends are amused over the story
printed in many of the papers of the
state that Mr.. Connor has the ambi-
tion to be candidate for governor.
While at. Neillsville, Mr.. Conner
visited Gov. LaFollette. and he in
formed his friends at Marshfield that
during the cOnversati ton the subject of
candidates was not mentioned
AS Mr.. Conner is a friend of AS
sem blyman Cady, of this city, the
claim is that he, or any Of his friends,
was responsible for the story that Mr.
Conner would not act with the Re-
publlcanS who are in favor of the
fulfllment of the pledges made the
people by the party, is preposterous.
The Marshtield men, who went to
Neillsville, deny in whole and in part
the statements in the purported
kilograms from Neillsville and Marsh
field and say that they have no founda-
tiOn in fact.
Mr.. Connors friends say that the
reports were the work of some cor
respondent in the pay of the stalWart
organization or were concocted by a
diseased imagination for the purpose
If possible, Of bringing mischief.
The Milwaukee News says: "W
d. Conner, banker, lumberma and
capitalist, has aspirations for the Re
publican nomination for governor and
his announced candidacy may be one
of the political sensations of the near
future. This is one of the political
secrets which leaked out as result
of the Neillsvile conferences. 1t is a
fact also which is worrying Gov.
Robert M. La Toilette, and Mr..
Connor's ambitious may result in
another congressional fight, in which
the governor may at least give show
of being interested.
"Gov. La Toilette gave more atten-
ton to Mr.. Common than to any other
politician at Neillsville, Saturday and
Sunday, and held a two hours talk
with him. In the talk Gov. La
Toilette was informed of Connor's
ambitions to be governor and tried to
dissuade him from his purpose"
The Chicago Record Herald says:
sis governor La Toilette about to
spring another surprise on the people
of the state? The long conference
between the governor and w. D..
Connor, of Marshfeld when the
governor was at Neillsville, Saturday
evening, has started political gossip.
1t has been known for some time that
Mr.. Conner has political aspirations.
and it was rumored that he would be
a candidate for governor next year.
1t now is rumored that Governor
La Toilette, instead of taking "a re-
nomination, will secure the nomina-
tiun Of the Marshtield lumberman for
the head of the ticket. Mr.. Conner
is wealthy ard an ardent supporter of
the theories advanced by the COVER
nor, for which he has been lighting
the last six years. In case he should
be pushed to the front there would
be no question regarding the sinews
of war"

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first. sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse This is soon followed bv a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail, It is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
