FLOWER RAISING.

Prizes will be awarded within short
time to those children who were most
successful in raising beds of flowers dur
ing the summer, /. e., the ones who en-
tered into the Ladies' literary club con
test. w Il. johnson, W. II. Mylrea
and IL. G. Flieth, the judges chosen TO
visit and inspect the children's efforts,
have finished their tour of inspection
and made their report, which will be
given out at an early date.
The plan has been profitable one in
several ways The clubs committee
on civic improvement, Mesdames Il. b.
Johns, w. C. Dickens and HI. q. Flieth,
visited the schools early in the season
and stated the proposition to the chill
dren, which was, summed up, that they
give the ladies assistance in identifying
the city, by raising beds of flowers
and the most successful ones to be
given prizes at the end of the season.
About three hundred signed a pledge
to use their best efforts in that direc-
tion, and as soon as practical and con-
venient, set to work, the result was
that great change was wrought in the
appearance of many yards. Yards
that had never before contained a
flower were made beauty spots, and
CtCn OHC PAL ChlS III many SetoOo OCNetihO
interested in the work, and during
their spare moments assisted their
children. Not only We're flowers culti-
yated but many of the children took a
greater pride in keeping the lawn clean,
picking up and removing paper and
other refuse from the yards, streets and
alleys, and thus spirit of industry and
pride was created. Some of the flower
beds were models of neatness and
beauty, others were not so good. Pow
erty of the parents and other hamper
ing conditions interfered in some cases
with the little ones good intentions,
and they could not be expected to make
the showing afforded their more fortu-
nate school mates. AS has been recom-
mended by some of the club members,
should prizes be offered again next
year, efforts should be made to provide
the children with free seed-the ones of
poor parents at least and sgive them
all an equal show. This plan of enlist
ing the aid of the school children in
beautifying the city will bear rich fruit
in the years to come.

MILL REBUILT.

The Jacob Mortenson Lumber Co. s
new mill has been built and will be
saving logs after October 1st. All of
the machinery has been received and
much of it placed in position. The
balance is on fiat cars in the yards and
can be installed in days time. The
contractors, the ID. j, Murray Co., are
at present waiting for the boilers, which
are expected at any time, and after
they are shipped here the mill will be
ready tor operation as per terms OF
of contract, which calls for completion
by October 1st The new mill is not
as large as the old one, nor will it have
the saving capacity, but will cut out as
much, or more lumber, ;ts the old one.
The old mill had capacity of cutting
Is, 900 per day, while the new one will
cut but 30, 900, but, we understand, the
new enc will be operated night and day
making the cut 100, 900 whereas the old
mill was run of late only during the
day The mill will have at least ten
more years of saving. As far back as
fifteen years ago it was asserted that
numbering operations on the Wisconsin
river We're about ended. How does the
above instance compare with that as
sertion? Here is a company that has
pfactlcaliy ceased acuVe lumDefinR
operations. The company lost mill
last July and the citizens of our town
of pessimistic tendencies asserted thai
it would never be e-built. A new plant
now stands on the ground occupied by
the old one, and will give employment
to all of the old crew of workmen and
many more for, we understand, it will be
run night and day until the present
supply of pine and hemlock logs that
are in the pond are sawed, and, it is
possible, that hardwood will be sawed
during the winter

EXAMINATION POSTPONED.

Robt. Isbell, who is charged with be-
ing an accompice of Hubert Cordeil
in an alleged attempt al criminal assault
upon Louie Zettler at Stratford, was up
before Justice Jones, Friday, for hear
ing. AS the state was not ready to
proceed a continuance was asked for
aud granteJ, and his examination fixed
for Thursday next The young mans
bail bond was reduced from 81 800 to
81 900 but it is doubtful if he will be
able to furnish the iatter amount, for
there does not seem to be anyone de-
string to assume the risk. Cordell is
still confined at the Riverside hospital
and his condition is such that it is not
known when he can be brought up for
examination. After being shot ne.
suffered a great oss of blood and q
severe nervous shock, so that his
recovery is not as fast as it might have
been had conditions been otherwise.
The newspapers of Marshiield and
Grand Rapids, in both of which cities
he is well known, do not speak in very
com plimentary terms of Cordell The
Grand Rapids Tribune says:
Hubert j CordeIl, the long haired
picture man, who is we'll known in
this city, where he was convicted of
stealing watch from Matt Farrell, ran
up against snag at Stratford and the
result was that he lost his left arm
The Marshfield News has the follow
ing to say of him:
1T is said that this is not the first
scrape of this kind that Cordell has
been mixed up in, similar one having
occurred three years ago at Spencer
and another at Grand Rapids. His
name is on the criminal records of this
county, having been arrested several
years ago for stealing watch"

The general store of g. g Knoller at
Dancy was hH0ken open by burglars
some time during the night last Wednes-
day. They first attempted TO unlock
the door by the use of skeleton key,
but broke the key off in the lock and
then pried the door open and entered.
They secured no money, but stole six
razors and a bolt of cloth. The bolt of
cloth was found outside where it had
been dropped and from the fact that it
had been thrown away is deduced the
theory that the robbers were scared
away From the amateurish methods
employed in the job, and the articles
taken, the work is supposed to have been
that of tramps, though no suspicious
characters were seen in the village
on the day preceding the robbery.
On Tuesday last the Tenth district
convention of the Modern Brother
hood of America was held in Druids'
hall and there was quite number pres
ent from different parts of the district.
The object was to elect delegates to the
supreme convention to be held in
Minnea polls on the 18th day of October
The following were elected: +. w.
Farmer, of Amigo; j Busheau, of
Marshfeld and Chas. Goerling of

Pat Bowling and family are occu-
pying their former residence on the
west side, the old Book property. Mr..
Bowling sold that property to Anton
Anderson about year ago and last
week re-purchased it. His residence
on Main street has been rented.
