INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
Order OF Eastern Star Entertain Members of
Masonic Order

Mrs. Emmons Burr, of Stevens
Point, who holds the position of
martha" in the Grand Chapter of
the Order of the Eastern Star in the
State OF Wisconsin, was present and
acted as Installing officer at the iu-
stallation of the newly elected officers
of Rainbow Chapter No. 81. About
sixty persons were present and the
services were very interesting and
impressive. The excellent manner in
which Mrs. Burr performed her part
OF the service ADDED much TO the
Solemnity and impreSSiveneSS of the
ceremony and especially fine was the
presentation Of the floral emblemS to
the ladies representing the several
points of the star.
At the close of the installation
exercises Mrs Burr presented the
retiring Worthy Matron, Mss Alice
Whiting an elegant Past Worthy
Matron'S jewel DIS a token of the re-
Spect and esteem in which she was
held by the members of the local order.
She received it in the spirit in which
it was given and accepted it with eX-
preSSiOnS OF gratitude. The Past
Worthy Patrons jewel had not been
received and therefore could not be
presented on this occasion, but will be
at the next meeting.
Elaborate refreshments were served
and a very social evening was passed.
The following persons were present
from outside the city: Miss Mollie
Bartholomew, Worthy Matron, of Mil
waukee Chapter No. =: Mr.. and Mrs.
w. IL. Nelson, of Merrill; Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Hooper, Mr.. and Mrs. G.. G.

This chapter is growing rapidly and
holding very interesting meetings and
becoming the most popular order in

Mean-One of our leading mer-
chants, eighteen months ago, sold a
customer pair Of pants, which he
had worn steadily since that time,
and upon which he was granted credit.
The merchant, thinking it about
time to collect pay for the merchan-
disc, dunned the delinquent. who
fatty refused to do so until he got
ready. The shrewd trader, seeing the
pants nearly as good as new, notwlth-
standing eighteen months wear, and
to test the honesty of the man more
than anything else, offered to take
them back and cancel the debt. But
it was no go--the possessor had deter
mined to pay for them when the pants
wore out, which, at close calcula tion,
will be just seven years frena this
time! Te dislike meannesS.
We cannot rid ourselves of the
opinion that the Kansas war has but
had beginning. Although we do
not profess the gift Of propheSy, or of
being exact in tracing causes to effects,
yet we predict that the north will,
ere this question is finally settled, be
found in actual battle array against
the combined forces of the general
government and "chivalry" of the
south, to sustain that clause in the
Declaration of Independence, that
''all men are born free and equal"
Should such scene occur it is easy to
foresee the result. Right will ever
triumph at last. The day must come
sooner or later. Liberty and slavery
cannot live harmoniously together
any more than fire and gunpowder
The explosion must take place; and it
will cOme-the sooner the better for
the whole country and the whole
world,

The money for this state aid is nr;n-

The money for this state aid is prin-
cipally derived from the assessment
of one mill on every dollar of taxable
pronerty in the state The money
derived from this one mill tax is
supplemented by the interest on the
common school trust funds. The
apportionment is based on the num-
Der of children Of school age between
4 and 20 years. that are in each dis
trict. After it is known how much
money is available for distribution.
the rate per capita is found by divid-
ing that sum by the total number of
persons of school age that are in the
state. This year there are 752,O69
persons of school age in the state.
There are $500 school districts that
will get portion of the money. which
will be paid in February after the
one mill tax has been collected.

MERCHANTS ARE COM|NG|
MILWAUKEE MEN TO VISIT THIS CITY
The Visit May Occur Next Iune--The Obiec,
is TO Advertise Milwaukee and get Ac-
quainted With Local Merchants.

The Milwaukee Merchants and
Manufacturers association practically
decided the itinerary Of its trip
through the state in June at the
annual smoker given for the travelling
men employed by its members in its
rooms at the University building
Saturday night, the date, which will
probably be set for June 10, and the
itinerary hours being referred to the
board Of directors with power to act.
It's report will, it is said, be ready by
the end of February or the middle of
March.
The route going out over the North
western to Eau Claire, already practi-
cally decided upon, was confirmed,
and it was the consensus of opinion
that the route home should cover the
MarShtield, Grand Rapids and Ripon
route OF the same road, making the
final run to Milwaukee over the north
ern division of the main line of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul.
This would be the finish in any event.
the only probable change being the
substitution of the Wisconsin Central
route from Chippewa Falls to Oshkosh
as the middle portion of the week S
itinerary. which is planned to cover
some twenty-five towns

something. We must keep the main
point in view-the advertising of
Milwaukee"
The citizens of Grand Rapids and
more especially the business men, will
cordially welcome the Milwaukee
merchants. 1t is gratifying to know
that the visit will occur at time
when the prosperity Of the city car
be shown To Il good advantage. They
will find in Grand Rapids a city
whose outlook for future growth can
not be equalled by any other city ir
