swearing into office of almost a third

administered by Senator FRYE as pres

The two officials stood confronting
each other on the elevated platform on
which rests the desk Of the presiding

Trackless Trolleys Economical.

The reports Of the Berlin General
Electric company on the operation Of
a trackless trolley system prove that
this method is very much cheaper than
the usual one. Throughout the rural
districts the trackless trolley can be
operated to advantage, and with the
advantage that it can be built in almost
no time. With tracks,, or without, we
can still be contented and happy If we
have golden grain belt beer, the great
health tonic and table beverage. If
you haven't a case at home, there g no
time like the present to order.

Reportorial Imagination.

In his lofty flights of fancy the
reporter for the daily press is prone
to draw heavily upon his magma
ton. The foregoing observation
was prompted by the announcement
in the daily press reports that Pierce
county's centennarian, who died last
Friday, was the first white settler
in Pierce county. This is distinc-
ton which the old gentleman never
claimed, and in the interest of his
torical truth the JOURNAL rises to
make the following statement of
facts:
The gearing of the Pierce county
governmental machine was adjusted
and SET in motion in 1853 by white
settlers. Mr.. Huddleston's first
visit to Pierce county, when pros
pecting for a new home, was made
in 1854. He removed his family to
Pierce county and founded his new
home upon the quarter section on
which the Ellsworth depot of the
Omaha Railway Co. now stands, IN
1855. We understand that Aaron
Corne1ison, one of the early pioneers
of Trimbelle now in the eighties,
with his team moved the members
of the Huddleston family and their
baggage lover the ridge" occupied
by the village of Ellsworth, to their
new home, and he would doubtless
be willing to endorse the statement
of facts above made.
Another forcible illustration of
the truth of the first paragraph OF
this article comes to our mind and
is as follows: A few years ago in
northern Wisconsin city, a young
man was horribly mangled and in
stant1y killed in mill. The city
editor of daily newspaper prompt
ly detailed reporter to write up
the matter for his news columns.
The reporter at once repaired to the
scene of the accident for the pur-
pose of learning particulars. After
recounting the details of the un-
fortunate occurrence the reporter
proceeded to paint pen picture of
the agonizing grief with which the
frantic mother received the man
gled remains of her dead son. The
picture was one well calculated TO
move heart of stone. 1t was truly
touching. For depth of pathos it
took the cake" so to speak. Well,
as a matter of fact, the mother OF
the young man had been dead for a
number of years when he was killed.
and the pen picture so skillfully
drawn was purely imaginary.

Soft" weather this week. The
wind has been from the south the
most of the time and nearly every
day the sun has shone brightly.
AS a consequence of the effects of
the south wind and the sunshine
the snow has settled much, bare
ground is visible on the hillsides,
the roads are bare of snow in
many places and since the weather
suits objections are raised against
the prevalence of the grip.

A Successful Meeting.

tended a meeting of bee-keepers at
River Falls and reports it one of the
best meetings held in this region.

keepers present and the meeting,
which was presided over by State

a profitable one to them. On
Wednesday evening a public meet
ing was held at the Normal school

Honey Producers Association,
which will likely be held in this
city in May.-Glenwood Tribune.

Pointers on Dress.

Max ORell said the German women
are covered, the English clothed, the
American arrayed, the French dress
ed. This would certainly imply that
the French woman is the best dressed
though often the most simply. The
older one grows the more carefully
and thoughtfully must clothes be Sc
lected, else they often add the weight
of years to the wearer.

A Tribute,

Last night she died." thus in
our human language we speak of
one who passes from this life into
the life eternal. But Longfellow
tells US
"There is no DEATH what seems so is tran
sition.''
and George Eliot writes
"Our dead are never dead to US until we
have forgotten them"
We shall not forget Mrs. Watson,
who for thirty-fve years lived among
us, carrying blessings and hearty
greetings. We shall miss her from
our homes and from the church
where she labored so faithfully and
cheerfully; but we will not think of
her as dead. She has only entered
the higher service of that country
where "the inhabitant thereof shall
not say, / am SICK any more.

Last Saturday morning c. T.
Ritchey found that some one had
broken into his store during the
night and carried off what small
change had been left in the money
drawer. Monday morning it was
found that the meat market of Vim
cent Fait had been entered, the cash
register broken open and the cash
left in it Saturday night taken. In
this case as in that of Mr.. Ritchey
the burglars had entered by rear
window. Indications showed that
the burglars were amateurs and
evidently small boys. Investiga-
tions determined who the parties
were-two boys twelve or fourteen
years of age. The youngsters will
do time in the Reform School, where
they will probably be taken to-mor-
row.
Prof. Albert Salisbury, president
of the Whitewater Normal school,
is a candidate for the Office of State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. Mr.. Salisbury is a graduate
of Milton College in the class with
Jesse B. Thayer. He has been in
school work since early manhood
as teacher in High schools, superin-
tendent of schools for the American
Missionary Association with super
vision of the Indian and Freedmen's
schools, conductor of institutes and
for over twenty years president of
the Whitewater Normal school. He
has written much in furtherance of
education and is now offering to the
educational public a new work on
"The Theory of Teaching and Ele-
mentary Psychology" Mr.. Sails
bury served in the army during the
civil war.
B. ]. Price, for twenty-six years
editor and publisher of the Hudson
Star-Times, has. been appointed
Deputy Auditor of the United States
Treasury for the Navy Department,
an office of which he assumes the
duties March 4. He has sold his
paper to Spencer Haven. The news
paper fraternity of the state will re-
greet to lose Mr.. Price from their
ranks for he has long been a leader
in newspaper work and is recognized
as one of the brightest editorial
writer's in the state. Through the
Star-Times he has welded a large
influence in the politics of St. Croix
county. The paper, always Repub-
lican in politics, has been the
staunch advocate of safe and con-
sentative policies and advanced the
principles of the party to success.
Mr.. Haven, the new manager of the
Star-Times has associated with him
w. E. Webster, and the two will,
judging from the qualities of each,
sustain the reputation of the paper.
Mr.. Haven is an old newspaper
man, ready with the pen and being
at the same time one of the bright
est lawyers in this part of the state,
as ready with his tongue. He is a
gentlemen of pleasing manners.
Mr.. Webster will ably second Mr..
Haven in the management of the
paper.
