A LETTER FROM
A. c. BENNETT

We are in receipt of letter from
our old friend and former citizen.
A. G. Bennett, of De Funiak Springs,
Florida, in which he enclosed us
several clippings from the Atlanta
Journal and Pensacola newspapers Of
recent date. Among other things he
said, II never heard southern man
complain of the slaves being free, out
they all say he should have been
given the ballot. Very few of them
vote at all. If all voted many negros
would get into office as they did at
Jacksonville when the yellow fever
was raging there and the whites all
left that could. The negroes elected
themselves to Office and ran the city
wild financially and otherwise Once
in Office they could not get them out,
SO was told, and the state of Florida
had to make certain officers in cities
of a certain size appointed by the
governor.
There are good many republicans
in the south. Where 1 am located in
Walton county, lacked only twenty
four votes of being republican or tie
on president. Prohibition by vote OF
the people exists in all but four of the
counties of the state and no saloons
exist in the dry counties. Some
liquor is shipped in by express to in
dividuals, but 10 one dare sell it
openly"
"My daughter and husband have
just spent month with us here.
The spring is late, peach, pear, plum
and such trees are now in full bloom
and Strawberries are ripening, full
month later than last year. The
south is booming, over one hundred
dwelling houses have been built here
in this city of eighteen hundred in
habitants, in the last twelve months
and the click of the hammer is heard
in every direction
He reports himself and wife enjoy
ing good health and perfectly con-
tented in their southern home. We
will probably reproduce some of the
articles sent us by Mr.. Bennett in
later issues.

DEFEATED GRAND RAPIDS
High School Basket Ball Team
Wins Hard Contest.

The basket ball game at Grand
Rapids on Friday night of last week
was one of the closest and most
interesting contests that ever took
place in this section. resulting in tie
game at the call of time. The game
continued and Marshfield won on a
field basket on the first play, score %
TO q. The game was played in the
High school gymnasium before
crowd that packed the hall to the
standing room limit and the spectators
manifested great enthusiasm.
This defeat has an important bear
ing on athletics at the county seat
high school. The school has employed
"a physical director the past year and
it Was expected that if the team made
a good showing he would he retained,
but sthe failure to ldefeat the team
which has developed itself without
expert aid, may discourage the school
board. The county seat boys would
also have been entitled to compete
at Appleton as one of the eight
champion high school teams OF the
state, had they won the game, but
they were much disappointed. At
the end Of the regular period OF play
1t was thought that Grand Rapids had
crowd went wild, but recount
showed a tie.-Marshfield Times.
The above article which appeared
in recent issue of the Marshtield
Times, is so far from the facts and
truth that we wonder where our
friends, The Times, got the informa-
tion. In the first place we admit
that our basket ball team was defeated
by the Marshtield team, in closely
contested game. In this statement we
have no complaint, but in the last
paragraph of the article where they
claim that our schools are affected by
this defeat, they are wholly in error.
The school board in this city have
employed no special physical director,
but to the contrary Prof. Schwede, one
Of the teachers OF the eighth grade, is
also in charge of athletics, this being
done with his other work. AS result
of his direction our students are deing
excellent work and the result speaks
for itself in the various games that
our basket ball team has played this
season. The game played with
Marshtield had nothing To do with our
basket ball team going to Appletonas
they had been entered to take part in
the contest there on April 7th. and
have made all arrangements to go and
expect to be there. In all athletic
contests Grand Rapids is interested
only in giving and getting a square
deal.
This is all we ask of our neighbOrS
in commenting upon any subject in
which our schools are interested.

by Chief Clerk Marsh of the assembly
Friday it was shown that of the 7O7
assembly bills introduced 3S9 or over
one-half of them have not yet been
reported back from committees. but
the assembly has been killing bills at
the rate of about dozen a day this
week SO that the large number left
unreported may not last SO very long
after all.
Friends of the anti-cigaret1e bill
fully expected to see it finally passed
or defeated this week, but on motion
it was laid over for a week and it's
supporters are experiencing some
alarm there at. It was also given out
that the rate bill would be reported
this week but now the news is that it
will not come in until some time next
week. The committee is now work.
ing the bill over from ideas received
from many sources and endeavoring
to eliminate the principal objections
made to it, An effort will be made to
report bill which will not bring out
a minority report as we'll. The
assembly killed bill which proposed
to make the attorney general investi-
gate all complaints as to the existence
and operation of trusts and COM
binations and prosecute such, but it
advanced two other measures which
we're regarded by many as being far
more in the line of radical legislation.
One of these was the Andrew bill
which provides that aldermen can be
recalled on vote of majority of their
constituents. 1t requires 40 per cent.
of the voters for petition for such
election, The other was the Henry
Johnson bill which makes it a crime
for state lobbyists to use their
influence in legislation except before
committees or the house. 1t is aimed
at the secret work of lobbyists and
to spare the legislators the annoyance
of constant beseiging-
Liquor bills are receiving much
attention in the legislature. A big
hearing was had one evening in the
senate chamber on the local option
measure which proposes to let the
people of an entire county vote on
the saloon proposition. More impor-
tant the ThaYer dill introduced by
the only clergyman in the legislature
was advanced to engrossment after a
hard fight in the assembly. It
provides that the majority of the

BILL NO. $50 NOT SUP
PORTED BY c. P. CARY
MADISON, Wis, March %, 1905.
To TuE. EDITOR

MADISON, Wis, March %, 1905.
To THE EDITOR,
Dear Sir: A criticism Of bin 100 A,
empowering the State Superin-
tendent to withhold the seventh
tenthS mill tax from districts and
providing for rural school Inspection J
has been sent broadcast over the
state as a piece of campaign literature
adverse to my interests, The person
furnishing the article, finding it
necessary to conceal his name, signs
himself sCitizen." He characterizes
this bill as my bill. and states that
| am working for it's passage, etc.
Now whatever may be the merits or
defects,of bill $50 A, it is not my bill,
and have not been working for its
passage. l have been opposed to this
bill in it's present form from the first,
so has the committee on education,
and it has no chance whatever of
becoming law.
This is presumed to be not politi-
cal campaign, buta a purely professional
nOn-partisan campaign. The cir
culation of literature such as signed
"Citizen" is not only out of place, but
is maliciously false.
| trust you will consider it nothing
more than justice to me to give this
statement place in the next issue of
your paper.
Thanking you for your courtesy, |
am, Very truly yours,
G.. p. CARY,
State Superintendent.

Frank OkoneSki, of the local high

Rogers, teacher in elocution, went
to Madison today where tonight he
will participate in the state OratOrical
contest for high school pupils.
In the recent district contest at
Stevens Point Mr.. OkOneski was
awarded second place and did not
expect to go to Madison. However,
word was received this morning that
all who had won second places in the
district contests would be allowed TO
enter the state contest at Madison.
There will be nine other contestants,
but WauSau people are confident Mr..
Okoneski will rank near the front, as

LEGISLATIVE INFORMA=
TION FROM MADISON

The sentiment of most members of
both legislative houses seems 60 be in
favor of adjourning Thursday until
Wednesday of next week on account
of the spring election. The early ad-
journment this week is favored that
members may take a hand in the
election, as in many towns especially
important issues are at stake regard
ing licenses and charter questions.
Owing to the uncertainty of the
amount OF work that might be
accomplished this week, Mr.. Irvine
Saturday had his resolution for final
adjournment put over until April 6,
when it is hoped the houses can act
more intelligently on the PROPOSE
tion, The opinion is general that
there will be no adjournment until
May and some members go even SO
far as to predict that the session will
drag out till June.
Rate Bill Expected.
The most important development of
the week is expected to be the report
ing in of the railroad rate bill from
the committee, which has been
wrestling with it for some two weeks
since the last public hearings were
had. 1t is expected to appear the
latter part Of this week. The delay is
due to an earnest desire on the part
of the members of the joint commit
tee to draw a bill that will be
satisfactory to a majority of both
houses, if possible, and avoid a
minority report. 1t is probable that a
minority report cannot be avoided by
the administration members and
consequently they are preparing a
compromise measure to weaken the
effect of the substitute bill the mi
noriLy will report.
Another week has gone by without
final disposition of any of the big
measures before the legislature. The
railroad rate bill, the new capitol, the
civil service and the anti-cigarette
bill are still in the hands of commit
tees or awaiting final action. A joint
resolution has been introduced in the
assembly fixing the date of final
adjournment at April %, but at
Fridays session action on this
resolution was deferred until April 6,
as by that time it is hoped there can
be clear idea when the session can
be brought to a close. In a report
