Notice to Parents.

Parents will confer great favor upon
the teachers and principal of the public
schools by not sending pupils to school
so that they will reach the building
before $50 o'clock in the morning or l
o'clock in the afternoon. The building
is not supposed to be opened for pnpils
before these hours, but we do not like to
lock the doors on pupils, in winter es-
pecially.
On the other hand, many pupils come
to school before the hours at which they
are expected to come and before the
teachers are required to be in the build
ing, in order to play and romp in the
rooms, and thus cause great deal of
annoyance. ,s
do not think there is any pupil living
within hearing of the bell who could not
get here in time by starting when the
first bell rings and coming directly to
school.
There is no objection, however, to the
pupils coming as soon after $50 in the
morning or in the afternoon as they
please, as at those hours the teachers are
required to be present and in charge of
their respective rooms.
[ trust that parents will see the rea-
sonableuess Of this request and lend us
their CO operation in this matter.
Respectfully
w. A. CLARK.

LOOKS LIKE SUGAR PLANT AT
; .s GAINESVILLE.

Both the Wisconsin Sugar Co. and q Can
ada Concern Competing for Site.
Within the next few days the citizens
of GAINESVILLE will have to decide one or
the other of the following: "Shall we
donate twenty acre site and guarantee
5000 acres of beets in 1904 to Capt Dav-
idson of Dresden, Canada, and secure in
GAINESVILLE this year the 100000 beet
sugar plant now in operation at Dres-
den, Canada?" Shall we wait until
next year and secure $1,OOOOOO beet
sugar plant that President Wagner of
the Wisconsin Sugar company of Me-
nomonee Falls, Wis, guarantees to erect
IN GAINESVILLE without one cent of expense
to the citizens?' The sentiment of a
mass meeting of 300 business men was
that the Canadian mans proposition
should be accepted. President L. B.
Garlic then appointed a committee of five
prominent business men to solicit funds
among the merchants and the work that
they have accomplished practically
makes certain that the deal will be clos
ed. Both factories desire to locate in
GAINESVILLE, because Prof. Henry of the
state university has highly recommend
ed GAINESVILLE as being in the heart of the
best beet growing territory in the west
Among the GAINESVILLE citizens who are
leaders in the present movement are U.
S. District Attorney w. G.. Wheeler and
State Senator John M. Whitehead. Sen
ator Whitehead is of the opinion that
many of the farmers on their first year
crop will willingly give S1l an acre tow
ard the factory site, as we'll as acreage
expense, aud if this was done $1,000
could be raised. United States District
Attorney Wheeler states that the Dres-
den firm informed him that they wished
to know at once just what the citizens of
GAINESVILLE think of their proposition. He
says that by the time the GAINESVILLE
plant is in working order the total ex-
pense will not be less than 81, 100000.
The factory will be built of brick and
with the yard room and sheds will cover
the greater portion of the twenty acre
tract desired. When running at full
force about four months in the year they
guarantee to employ $50 men. The out
put is 600 cars annually

County Board Cutting Into Salaries.

Members of the Rock County Board of
Supervisors caused a sensation at their
meeting on Tuesday afternoon by cutting
the salary list Of certain county officers.
This cut will not go into effect until 1905
and will not affect the present officials.
The Office Of district attorney will re-
main the same, $1,000 per year, but with
the county treasurer it will be $1,000 in-
stead of $780, Register of deeds will
have to be satisfied with $500 annually
in place of $4,000, while the clerk of the
court will have to stand for $500 cut on
his $4,000 salary. The office of poor mas
ter receives an increase of SlOO while the
county superintendent of insane will re-
ceive in 1905 the annual sum of $1,000 in
place of $500. An Office of deputy coun-
ty clerk was made with an annual salary
of $500 and an increase of $500 was also
allowed the deputy register of deeds as
we'll as 800 raise for the register in
probate.
Following are the salaries as they will

The 25th annual report of the Albion
Mutual Fire Insurance Co. which is
given below, completes the record of a
quarter of a century of cooperative in
surance that scarcely be equalled in this
state. This company is one of the larg-
est of it's kind in the state, carrying over
two million dollars worth of risks affords
perfect security to its patrons at most
remarkably low cost. The only assess
ment ever made in the early days of it's
existence was refunded, so it stands to-
day practically without ever making an
assessment to cover the losses incurred
during the past twenty five years. The
policy holders have enjoyed fire protec-
ton at cost of one half of one per cent
for five years. In other words the pre-
miums at this nominal rate have been
sufficient to pay ali the losses of the
company and maintain good surplus
fund besides. = We doubt If any other
similar company can show record equal
to it. Compared with the rates of the
board companies that prevail on city
property and elsewhere ranging from ~
Ito 3per cent annually, the remarkable
cheapness of the mutual companies be-
comes appreciated.

Thought He Could Not Live.

Some months ago the young man
went to southern California for the
benefit Of his health. He remained away
for several weeks. and on his return
to the city seemed much improved in
health. His lungs had troubled him.
but the change Of climate seemed to
have assisted him greatly. He returned
to his position and was cheerful and
happy.
Recently, however, he had been on
the decline, and on Thursday night suf-
fered hemorrhage Of the lungs, which
greatly worried him. He became sonie-
what despondent and less hopeful than
he had previously seemed go be. 1t Is
evident from letter left by the young
man that he had given full consIdera-
tion to the matter and had calmly de-
cided to eend what he regarded as
merely a lingering existence. This note
was written yesterday afternoon on the
fly leaf Of book: II have tried to live,
but 1t seems impossible" the young
man wrote.

The young man was prompted to kin

some time past. but his mother, father

so much as contemplated self -destruc-

Ter at the First National bank he had
occasion to spend much OF his time on

countenance never for a moment be-
