DR.. Byron Robinson, we'll known to
the old settlers of this city, where he
once practiced medicine, has risen to
the front rank of his profession since
leaving this city. The Medical Com
pend of November said of him, No
American anatOmiSt or surgeon is
wider known to the medica. profession
than this man. Professor Sem, of
Chicago University declared him an
epoch maker because of his work on
the histology and surgery of the per-
itOneum. 1t goes further in saying
many good words of praise of the
former resident of this city and his
many friends here will be glad to
hear of his great success.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
MAKE GOOD RECORDS

For several years graduates of the
Grand Rapids High School have at
tended the Stevens Point Normal
School. This year we have four grad
yates attending this Normal School.
The kind of work our graduates are
doing this year and the kind of work
they have done for several years past
is indicated in the following letter
from Pres. T. B. Pray of the Normal
School to our city superintendent of
SchoOls:-Supt. H. S. Youker.
Grand Rapids. Wis.
Dear Sir:-Replying tC your favor of
Nov. IA, [ take pleasure in saying
that the graduates of the Grand Rap
ids high school who have entered this
school haye made very excellent
record. They seem to have come,
not only with good preparation in the
several subjects required as prelimin-
ary TO normal school course. but they
have also evidently acquired habits of
study which count far more than pre-
paratiOn in particular subject.
Those now in the school are doing
very well indeed. The standard of the
Grand Rapids high school, measured
by the students who have entered at
Stevens Point, is very creditable to
the community that evidently sup
ports and insists upon good school.
An examination of the records shows
that for some years back failure in
any subject is very rare indeed.
Very truly yours,
t, F. Pray.
1t will be source of qualification to
every friend Of the public school to
know, as President Pray so we'll says,
that our graduates go from our high
school with habits of study, which fit
them to do advance study. These
habits of study and application are by
far the most important result of a
high school education whether the

SENTENCED To TEN YEARS

Stevens Point, Wis, Nov. 22-Mrs.
William KrembS was today sentenced
to ten years in the state penitentiary
by Judge Webb for shooting Clara
Peterson. She pleaded guilty. Mrs.
KrembS quarreled with her husband
on the day of the shooting. Krembs,
it is said, did not eat his breakfast at
home but went down to the restaurant
where Miss Peterson worked. The
wife, believing that the young woman
in the restaurant was too intimate
with her husband, followed Krembs,
and. entering the restaurant with a
revolver. shot Miss Peterson, who has
since recovered, the bullet wound not
proving serious.

COUNTY BOARD TOO LATE
Did Not Get to Work in Time,
and so Lost Chance for School.

After putting off aud delaying the
matter from day to day. the county
board awakened Wednesday to the
fact that they were too slow for the
agricultural school, as the last of the
schools made possible by the law of
several years ago, was taken by
Marinette county. The supervisors
of that county went at the matter in
a much different manner than those
of Wood county. There, though as
here, the taxes were to be paid to a
great extent by city population, the
matter was agreed on with but little
diSSentiOn.
Knowing that there was but one of
the schools left open the officers of
that county telegraphed to Madison
and had it reserved for them, and
just in time, for Clark county had de-
cidcd by unanimous vote to haYe
such an institution. The Marinette
telegram did the work, and the
school was saved for them. There, the
supervisors from the cities as we'll as
the others, realized that strong
farming country surrounding city
is worth almost as much to it as the
manufacturing element. So anything
that would tend to better the farming
element near the cities of THAT county
was voted for, without regard 80 taxes.
Here it was different: city super
vIsors from two of the cities seemed
afraid to spend a little money to better
their county, and therefore better
themselves. Even the county super
visors from parts Of the county voted
against their best interests because
the object would cost money. Now
that the county of Wood has made
such fine start toward being the
first county in the state agriculturally,
d spirit tending to help it along with
all power possible would have shown
up much better for the supervisors

ministration will favor for filling the
position of United States senator.
We, in harmony with all the people of
Grand Rapids, would like to see the
legislature, in that event, select Hon.
Charles NJ. Webb of Grand Rapids for
the position, and we believe THERE
COULD BE NO BETTER CHOICE MADE
FROM wIsCONsIN's CITIZENS. The
talk that the administration have
already decided upon Hon. Isaac
Stephenson, in case the governor
should refuse the senatorship, we do
not believe probab BILE, or possible.
There are many good men in the
state of Wisconsin that could fill this
place. The legislature should be slow
in selecting successor for Mr.. La Fol-
lette, but whoever the man is, let him
be fully worthy of the great honor to
be conferred.

SPECIAL SESSION OF THE
LEGISLATURE FOR DEC. 4
ton Calling State Lawnnaking
Body Together.

Governor Id Toilette has called the
state legislature 10 extraordinary
session to convene at Madison. 1t
will meet on December 4, at three
O'Clock in the afternoon. to act upon
and consider several matters of great
Importance to the affairs of the state
of Wisconsin. We have no personal
knowledge as to what the governor
ial matter, but if we were to guess,
we believe he has come to the con-
cluSiOn that his best interests, as we'll
as those of the state of Wisconsin,,
will be best served by his resignation
of the United States senatorship,
rendered him by the state legislature
at their last session.
1t will be remembered that he ac-
cepted the senatorial honor con-
ditionally: the condition was that
the legislation promised the people OF
Wisconsin by the Republican party
should be enacted into laws. II this
was done, and fully satisfactory to
WiSconsin's people, he would accept
the honor of representing this state
in the senate, and if it was not, he
would return to the legislature, the
tender Of that office. From the
nature of the call, we take il that he
will return the u. S. senatorsbip to
the legislature by whom he was pre-
sented with it. We believe in that
end, he will continue to fulfill the
duties of governor till the close of his
regular term.
If our guess proves true, the ques-
tiOn will arise as to whom the ad-
