Obituary-M Granular,

On Thursday morning, March 5th,
at :45 o'clock in the 83rd year OF
her age, Mrs. Rachel Veterinarian
breathed her last.
We are indeed sorry to have to re
cord the above notice, the news Of
the death of one of Grant Co.'S oldest
settlers.
Mrs. Rachael J. McGranahan with
her husband, the late A j. McGran-
ahan and their children came to this
country in the year 1856, and after
looking over the surrounding terriA
tory finally settled on the present
homestead III 1866.
Mrs. Veterinarian was born in
Steubenville, Ohio, in the year 1920.
She was a woman of education and
refinement, and for a number Of
years was a school teacher Of cOnsi-
derable repute in the Eastern home.
Up to the time of her death she was
in correspondence with some Of her
old friends there.
When Mrs. McGranahan settled
here she soon made friends with all
her neighbors. 1t was always her
desire to live in peace and harmony
wherever she located.
She was a most hospital woman,
one who delighted to see her child
rem and their friends seated around
her hearth and around her table.
1t was a great pleasure to her to
cook plentifully of everything for
her friends and neighbors to enjoy.
She was ever ready to lend help
ing hand, and to gave counsel to those
in need, and indeed she was called
upon many times, for both.
Mrs. McGranahan was 9 woman
who took an interest in all with
whom she came in contact, but es-
pecially did she have, at all times
the interest of each member Of her
family at heart.
Her family consisted of six child
rem, four sons and two daughters,
all of whom survive her.
In Mrs. McGranahan's early life
she was a great Christian, and a
Sabbath School teacher in the Meth
odist Church. OF late years howev-
er she was not able to meet the re-
quirements of earnest church work
and was, therefore, at the time of
her death, not associated with the
church she loved SO we'll
Mrs. Veterinarian had been an
invalid for a number of years, and
in the last few months was conscious
of her approaching end. She was
quite resigned to the will of God in
calling her to her heavenly reward
and had said many times that she
felt prepared for that great meetin G
with her Father in heaven when the
summons came. 9
The funeral services We're conduct
ed at the home by the Rev. Mr.. Nor
gan of the Methodist Church at Lam
caster, and the remains of our dear
departed friend was followed by a
large cOncOurSe of Borrowing re
latives and friends to the beautiful
cemetery of Lancaster, where they
were laid in their final resting place.
May they rest in peace isfthepray
er Of all who will miss her for a
long time to come

Van Hise Likely for President.

Senator Stout retireS as university
regent at his own inSistence and Edl-
tor Myrland Of Grantsburg succeeds
him. Regents Miss Frisby and Mer-
ritt (of Ashland continue. 1t is be-
lieved that the election of Prof. Van
Hise the geologist as president of the
university will soon be announced.
Prof. Van HiSe is eminent in his
line and popular with the students
as shown by the fact that at their
athletic meetings he is a favcrite
speaker. He has a family of young
children, is a unitarian by church
connection and a college mate of Gov.
La Palette. Prof. Van Hise is high
ly regarded in national government
scientific circles and the wonder is
that he can be diverted from pure
science. AS a speaker he has nerv-
Gus mannerisms, but he always says
something before he sits down; he
abOmndS in common sense and has
considerable breadth of culture. Some
will not be quite Eappy because some
"star' man from abroad was not
chosen but the fact is the regents
have done the hardest work in this d1-
rection and could not seem to make
connections.

Primary Elections.

We are all wondering how long will
be the session In Minnesota there is a
constitutional limit of 100 days; in
North Dakota to sixty days. In Wis
consin the term has been steadily
heightened of late years. 1t now runs
from about 100 to 116 days. The spring
promises to be an early one, so there
is much talk of this matter. The pri
mary election and taxation matters
if these were out Of the way the rou-
tine matters could be quickly disposed
of, for there is not the usual number
of bills of second constellation impOr-
lance.
March 16 is. the date fixed for this
topic. Details are not much discussed
by the senators who have it all in
their hands 1t is generally believed
that some genuine bill will be adopted
by the senate; but there is much di-
vision of sentiment Some who don't
relish the bill feel they must vote for
it. Some who will not oppose any more
than necessary are annoyed at other
senators whom they think should
Slduu ludu they uO5 anu d11
are wondering what the assembly will
do with a partial measure. If the SEN
ate can be put in the attitude OF
blocking" Governor LaFoliette, the
latter's opponents fear he will be IA
vored as a martyr and be in splen-
did shape for a fresh appeal to the
people" On the other hand, they fear
that if they give him primary elections
he will be able to work" it to fullest
advantage. And so there is a good
deal of confusion.
The outcome will probably be that
the senate will give fair allowance
of primary elections in the strong
hope of acceptance by the assembly
and governor; and yet it is not impos-
sible for even q bill that everybody
wants to be lost altogether. Men get
''set'' and angry, and confusion sets
in, and before cool heads are able to
control things the hour of adjournment
has struck. It's wise man who can
prophesy the future of bill about
which centers so much distrust, emu
iatiOn and future politics.

University Legislation.

Senator Villas is at the Hot Springs
troubled with sciatica and Prof. Henry
i'm Texas ON scientific work, and the
university bills have not yet got to the
front. The S15O,000 chemical labOra-
tory is the largest single item in the
requests this year; and the mainte-
nance fund is sOughttO be enlarged and
to be made permanent. The State uni
versity is doing great routine work at
present under DR.. Birgie-who, by the
way, has had his hair turned white
by his two years hard work as asting
president-andp perhaps the absence of
the usual university lobby will be as
effective as if at work. The fact is
this personal work on the members
is distasteful to the faculty men and
officers, but it has seemed the only
way to remove the false notions about
college life and needs.

Taxation 70 Be Discussed.

Madison, March 17.-Each day the
senate and assembly are opened with
prayer by a Madison pastor. For this
service they are compensated by the
state Last week there was q novelty
in the way Of substituting a hymn for
the prayer 1t was instituted by Chap
lain Bolton, presiding elder for this
district. He is tall, superb-lOoking
man with gray hair and was one of
ChicagO's best-known orators, espe-
cially on patriotic occasions, twenty
years ago. America" Nearer, My
God, to Thee" and other hymns were
sung, the chaplain leading. In the
Maine legislature, when | was a boy
in Augusta, there was a great deal of
informal singing of all sorts of songs
by the members. But those were sim
pier days.
Health Park for Consumptives.
There are two bills looking to eli
mate cure for ConsumptiveS. One is
for a 100000 plant under the state
board of health. This, however, is said
to be a tentative measure, not expect
ing passage. A great deal is being done
in the way of saving the lives Of in
cipient cases, and even advanced cases
of consumption, by having them live
outdoors. Astonishing claims are made
as to the percentage Of cures-from
% to 9O-if the climate fits.
"The Lunger's Friend"
The other bill is for $4,000 a year
for two years to be turned over to the
Health Park association. This is a
philanthrOpic coterie of gentlemen of
Madison and other places who already
have made a start The late 'Bill'
Bradley, of Tomahawk, Lincoln coun-
ty, gave them 30 acres Of land, most
ly uncleared, close to TOmahaWk and
the idea is to put up cottages here
and have the patients clear the wilder
ness, do farm work, chicken raising
and the like, while they are getting
we'll The association has collected
some $4,000 already, it's president be-
ing eX-Judge j. III. Carpenter, Of the
Dane county court The moving spirit
in the work, however, is DIR. VIM. f.
Roberts, who is character. He is a
Maine quaker, an old-faShfoned home
opathic physician, with curious notions
mixed up with deal of common sense.
He has been working on consumption
for years, and has a lot of ideas that
Jar" the regulars; for instance, he
ridicules the idea of consumption be-
ing conta giOus, and offered some time
ago to have any number Of germs
pumped into his own body. He has
locked horns with the head of the
Estate board of health, who is a hope
lessly conservative individual, and it
is said the 100000 sanitarium bill is
more to head off Roberts than to
secure a Sanitariun Roberts was the
father of the famous Massac huSetts
Invalid Aid society-he is unselfiSh
and good and simple. Tn the Colorado
country he is known as the ''lungers'
friend Like all men who achieve
anything, he is desperately in earnest,
and when he gets after the members
for the appropriation to the Tomahawk
project he will prove the most persist
ent lobbyist the capitol ever saw.

State Control Of Freight Rates.

The bill to set UP q state board TO
regulate freight rates has less Of plat
form and gubernat0rial prestige, but
it will make a pretty discussion when
it comes to vote. There is a host OF
minor railroad bills, as 2-cent fare, the
prevention Of double-header freights,
etc., to keep Messrs. Ring and Harris
busy before committees and in dis
cussing with members. Grain inspec-
ton at Superior lags a bit, as regards
the bill; the worlds fair appropriation
bill is getting more favor than was eX-
pected. and woman IS suffrage will get
a large complimentary vote. The insur-
ance bills are Of great Importance ana
involve close interest of the members
So many of them pay premiums, OF
have an interest in the business, that
Baron Won Cotzhausen'S bill to pre-
vent combinations of agents is Of the
liveliest Importance. Petitions on the
subject, for and against, show the
work that is being done. The anti
cigarette bill still tarries in commit
tee 1t is curious to observe the many
bills that grow out of recent occur
rences, as the bill compelling license
for storing nitric, sulphuric and other
acids, and the ''baby-farming" bill
both suggesting recent Milwaukee sen
SatiOnS.

Telephone Bills.

There are repeated hearings on the
bill to prevent the strong Wisconsin
Telephone company from putting in
free telephones in the attempt to
freeze out local companies. That is
the situation at present. The local
company has 1,700 phones and is Civ
ing admirable service. The WiScon-
sin (BelD has a splendid plant here
with Buried wires and is trying to get
it's old foot-hCld The local company
charges $1.o0 a month for phones,
but the Wisconsin is putting in phones
free of charge. Practically it is
nuisance to have two phones in the
same office and unnecessary The
effect is to favor the socialist idea
that cities should own their own
plants. The war is going on in a
number of cities in thea state The
bill proposes that no company should
charge less fer phones in one city
than it's minimum in any other city
in the state. The representatives of
the Bell say that this is interference
with private business, and some out
siders say it is row, not between one
company and the people, but between
corporations.
Exempting Credits from Taxation.
Wednesday night. in the senate we
shall have a discussion of the bill to
exempt credits from taxation, along
the line of the tax commissions rea-
soning and it promises to be an i'm
portant issue, as Mr.. LaFollette is
on record as favoring taxation Of
credits, although too busy with other
matters to give it much attention at
present. Senators Stout and Hatten
of the senate committee dissented FROM
the report which favored exemption.
