THE SCHOOLS TO OPEN SOON
Vacation Time is Past, Old and Young
to Return to Work

The schools are being gotten ready
and the youngsters are looking ruefully
at their books because vacation time is
about over and school will begin pretty
soon, altogether too soon. The north side
schools will open Sept. 1, while the
first ward will open Aug. 81. The
third ward school was also to open on
Aug. 81, but new closet system is to
be erected and the material having but
lately arrived it is probable that it may
cause a weeks DELAY. The third ward
has always had a reputation for econo-
my and so they had system of burn
ing the excrements and so saving coal
but it was very unsatisfactory and
unsanitary way to do and eventually
common sense has succeeded and
flushing system will be introduced
The fifth ward school with training
school opens Aug. 81.

ARE HELD AS FlLIBUSTERS
Captain Hardin With Boat Mercury Pend.
ing Investigation at the West Indies

In 1901 Henry Berger Jr. built neat
and very strong schooner for Capt.
Chas Hardin. The captain stated at
the time that he had heard of a gold
mine at the southern end of South
America and showed chart that he
had received from dying comrade.
But local parties would not bite. At
last the boat named the Mercury
dropped down to Chicago and there re-
ceived its crew, care being taken that
nothing but very rough element were
taken. The Mercury then sped south
ward through the Chicago drainage
canal, the Mississippi river into the Gulf
of Mexico and nothing more was heard
of her. That was about u year ago.
Now comes the report that the Mercury
has been seized near the West Iudies,
being engaged rs a pirate in the sunny
seas. and the captain and crew are await
ing trial at Turks island The story of
the gold mine was all mythe, the
good captain having another kind of
gold mine in view, and judging from
the amount of boats that have been
preyed on in those region he must have
done a good business. If the authori-
ties are able to prove the charges q
neck tie party will be the probable
result.

of its special agents in which are shown
to exist the most glaring frauds in the
Indian Territory and which give prom
Use of showing that the Dawes Commits
sion is rotten from top to bottom.
Nothing can be learned at the Interior
Department except that the agent re-
ferred to is persona non grata, that the
Indian Rights Association is "a nuis-
ance' and that it is presumed an inves
tigation will have to be made. AS a
matter of fact, Secretary OF the Interior
Hitchcock instituted an investigation
last May and even went to the scene
himself but on his arrival there he dis
covered conditions which led him to re-
port that there was nothing which
called for an investigation except some
minor defects which he had remedied.
Fortunately, President Roosevelt was
not altogether satisfied with Mr.. Hitch
cocks report and he sent personal rep
resentative, Mr. Francis f. Luepp, to
the scene and his report would doubt
less make interesting reading although
it is unlikely that it ever will reach the
public. 1t is evident that the specula-
tions and corruption practiced by gov
ernment officials in Indian Territory
have been on a scale which will make
the little postofflce thievery, which ag
gregates but few hundred thousand
dollars, look insignificant The whole
attitude of the Interior Department and
Secretary Hitchcock, however is that
rs only the rights Of the Indians are in
volved it is nobodys business but his
own and the Presidents.

Not Enough Teachers

There seems to be q scarcity Of
teachers in the state this year. Mani
towoc county had only enough to fill it's
own schools, some of the city positions
being filed by outside teachers, while
Door and Langlade counties have issued
a call for teachers. So teaching will
continue to be good business for one
year more at least.

THE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL
Is Proving Itself a Success Without
Advertising

How our people are taking to the
training school can be seen from the
fact that Professor Hyer has already 75
applications from would be students
Last year the institution had 40 scholars
its seating capacity is only AZ and so
Prof. Hyer is at a loss what to do. Our
boys and girls are realizing the fact
that special training gives special abili-
ty and that is the cause of the number
of applicants.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency OF medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought Of the world is being
given to the subject. II is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneumo-
mia, one Of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con.
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and It has been observed that this rem
sdy counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
OF cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence Of
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con-
fidence. Pneumonia often results
from a slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until Il Is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and diff
Guilty in breathing and pains in the
chest then It is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. BE on the
safe side and take Chamberlain S
cough remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. II always cures. For sale
