AN ARTISTIC TRIUMPH
Two Marvellous Reproductions of Famous
Paintings by Berlin Lithographers

Two Marvellous Reproductions of Famous
Paintings by Berlin Lithographers
One of our advertisers, the Calu-
met Baking Powder Company of
Chicago, is distributing free to it's
patrons some remarkable examples
of the perfection which the litho-
grapher's art has attained. Several
years ago this company purcha sed
two celebrated paintings and sent
them abroad, where photography is
in a much higher state of develop
nent than in this country, for re-
production. The idea which they
had in mind was that it was posi-
BILE, if sufficiently skillful artists
could be found, to reproduce upon
paper every line, every color, every
delicate touch and shade which the
artists who painted the original pic
lures and exhibit upon canvas. In
this they have been phenomenally
successful, for when framed under
glass, even a connOisseur would
promptly pronounce them paintings
from the easel of a great master.
The subject OF one of these pic
lures is a landscape, an autumnal
scene, where the fidelity with
which nature is reproduced is an
evidence of the artists genius and
his appreciation of the truth of the
old maxim that Nature is the artists
standard and Truth his chief end.
The other is half-length, draped
figure Of beautiful young girl
where the artist has not merely re-
produced those features of what
must have been a marvellous model,
but has included minut3.e which
would escape the generality, giving
an idealization Of astounding perfec-
ton.
The pictures are uniform size, %
inches by 30 inches, making two
magnificent companion pieces.
Either Of the above pictures will
be forwarded to all persons sending
their name and address, together
with two.of the coupons found in.
one pound cans Of Calumet Baking
Powder, and twelve two centstamps
to the Calumet Baking Powder
Company, Chicago.

years held the .principalship of the
high school in this city, has decided
not to accept the position for another

not expect to teach hereafter, at

up to it's present state of efficiency
and it is with regret that we learn
of his intention not to return.

A View of Primary Election.


The people demand a primary
election law as one of the great
measures by which the masses
would secure safer and better
representation in the Legisla-
ture. Politicians naturally op-
pose the primary bill because it
may obstruct or thwart their
selfish schemes. They want to
boss, but the people are the per-
sons who ought to boss. We
must say to the Stalwart leaders
that they are making the gravest
mistake of their political lives
when they oppose complete
primary election bill with a re-
ferendum. Degeneracy has be-
come SO marked that the people
now look for very little good from
any Legislature which may be
convened under the present
system. The voters are anxious
to try another system. We say,
Give them that chance; and we
further say to the political lead
ers in the Legislature that no
matter who they are nor what
part it be that stands in the way
of an equitable primary election
law, those leaders or that party
will drop into such future con
tempt of the people that their in
fuence will be blasted for the
residue of their lives. The
people want reform, true reform,
and that they think they can OBJ
tain itonly through the instru-
mentality of a primary election
law which willrecover allthe cities
in the state, andif that law be re-
ferred to the people before final
adoption and they vote for it, it
will become the cornerstone of
the true Republican party of Wis
consin. Evening Wisconsin.

John Petite, father of Mrs. A.
Beausoliel, who has lived here with
his daughter for many years, died
last Thursday, at the age of eighty
eight years. The funeral was held

day, ar d was largely attended. Mr.
Petite has been very feeble for a
number of years, and his death was
not wholly unexpected.
The Mobiles Theatre Co. comes to
Washburn opera house Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings OF
next week. While this is the first
engagement Of the company in this
city, the company is an old one and
well known in the northwest, the
MOBILES having enjoyed an excellent
reputation as dramatic caterers for a
number of years. We anticipate
three good presentations. Prices
Is, IS, and 35c.
The town board have advertised
for bids for the Bank OF Washburn
building. There has been consider
able talk of selling the building for a
long time, and now that there is to
be a new library building it has been
suggested that the old library build
ing would be a very appropriate
place for the town offices, and in case
the bank building should be sold it is
lidely that the change in location Of
town Offices will take place this fall.
There have been one or two bidders
for the bank building within the
past two or three years, and it is
quite probable that a sale may be
made.

Ellsworth Plumstead, the humor-

There is nothing more adaptable
to the soil of Bayfield, county than
grass, and there should not be a
pound of hay brought to the local
markets from outside of the county.
Hay yields good returns with practic-
ally no trouble to get it to the pur-
chaser. There should be greater
activity in the raising Of this pro-
duct and the local market should be
supplied by local farmers.
The game of base ball between the
Iron River and Washburn High
Schools played on the grounds in
this city last Saturday was hot
one from start to finish. But six
innings were played as the Iron Riv-
er boys had to leave on the three
o'clock train, but when the game
was called off at that time the score
stood six to six. 1t will take
another game to decide who plays
the best ball.
