Would Be Spicy, But
A country exchange has this

A country exchange has this to
say about printing all the news:
"A man stopped us on the street
the other day and said we did not
publish all the news. We should
say not. In the first place there's
somebody else depending on US for
a living. It we publish all that
happened we would be with the
angels. In order to please the peo-
pie we must print only the nice
things and leave the rest to gossip.
Yes, it's fact, we don't print all
the news. If we did, wouldn it be
spicy reading? But it would be for
one week only. The next week you
would read our obituary and there
would be new face in heaven. All
the news is alright when it is about
the other fellow"

was an energetic and valuable
public servant, but the fact that
he made himself obnoxious to
Cuba was enough to warrant that
country in asking for his recall.
He had clashed with the Cuban
administration over a number Of
things, the sanitation of the is
land. which was of course his
business. and alleged offensive
craftsmanship in politics which
was none of his business. Then
there came up the Anglo. Cuban
treaty which was directly OPP

Americans but which was direct.

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent

The senate committee on In
terstate Commerce has about
finished drafting a bill which is
expected to be the basis Of rate
legislation at the coming session
of Congress. The bill, it is
stated will meet with the ap-
proval Of the President and it's
details have been given out by
the committee. The President
has not yet said that the bill
meets with his approval, and till
he does it is tolerably safe to re-
gard the bill as the work of the
senate committee without ref
3rence to the White House. The
dill is not the Esch- Townsend
lill, but it embodies some Of its
eatures and seems to be. about
he compromise measure that
he senate would be ready to
ommence negotiating on. The
1ain point of the bill is that it
ives the Interstate Comm
ommittee power to fix rates

las been pleading for a number
# years. There are other pro-
.isions such as the keeping of
'pecial books for the use of the
Jom mission, but the provisions
ire all of little Importance along
side the penalty clause. How
the bill would be regarded by
the administration, tits of course
hard to say. But it is a step in
the right direction and the fact
dhat such men as Elkins and For
okoY ,7avo hpnn led to frame it is
an Indication that they think it

EAST Lynne" by g. Strong Company
on Friday, May 5th.
The dramatization of Mrs. Henry
Woods beautiful story, EAST Lynne, p"
has been seen by more people thruout
the civilized world than any other play
ever written. This is not surprising
when we consider the strong heart in
terest, the pathetic scenes, and high
moral tone of the story. The old tale
Of woman's love and mans perfidy is
told in a manner which never fails to
appeal to an audience, so forcibly that
no sermon ever preached could bring it
home with greater effect.
The return of the wife to the home
she has deserted, where she finds the
Dlace in her husbands heart and home
in the keeping of another, her children
believing her dead, and happy in the
care of the woman who has become
their fathers wife, is told in graphic
manner. She takes up her cross, be-
comes a servant in the house that was
once hers, and not until her child lies
on bed of death does she reveal to
anyone who she really is. Then the
mother instinct will not be denied, she
clasps the dying boy in her arms, and
with his last breath he calls her moth
er. No stronger scene has ever been
presented in any play.
Miss Freda Clernons who will enact
this great role at Worden's Opera
house on Friday, May 5th, is recognized
as one of the greatest artists who has
ever played the part, and her death
srehe in the last act cannot fail TIC
bring tears to the eyes of all who ad-
inire and appreciate great emotlona
work.
In the version presented by Mr.. E.
C. Nelson's company the comedy eie'
fnent is unusually strong, and the en-
tertainment as a whole is one which
cannot fail to please old and young.

UPPER BRIDGE UNSAFE
It was Wrecked by the Ice and Log
Jam to Such Extent as to
be Unsafe.


The upper Flambeau or Vinette
bridge is condemned on account of the
damage sustained in the spring break
up, and is practically out of use.
This condition of affairs calls atten-
tion to the proposition canvassed by the
bounty board two years ago, of build
ing the eastward road on the east side
of the river, crossing the river over the
mill pond.
1t is evident thata crossing there will
do away with the unpleasant feature of
the bad hill now in use at the Menasha
mill crossing.
Connection with such bridge could
probably be made by the town of
Flambeau at less expense than would
be involved in putting the wrecked
bridge into shape.
Another feature of the case-if re-
ports are correct that the town of
Flambeau has no funds for bridge pur-
poses, but have for road purposes,
which would enable the town to make
the necessary road connection.
The question remaining is whether
the city of Ladysmith is ready to build
the bridge. That such bridge is need
ed is evident whether the city is ready
for the expense is question that at
this juncture merits discussion.
