Denver, Aug. 20.-After balloting all

adjourned at an early hour this morn

the chair had difficulty maintaining or

Davis grand worthy president, A. E.

ana, conceded the victor in this con-
test over c. A. Stephens of Iowa, al

A Night Attack.

Last night the little daughter of
Mrs. Brown, as she sweetly and
peacefully slept in her little bed near
the window. was attacked by death
dealing demon known as Group whoop-
ing cough, and but for the timely use
OF Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar,
which she always keeps handy, the
life of the little one might not have
been saved. Kennedy's Laxative
Honey and Tar is different from all of
the old-time cough syrups and is best
for children because 1t acts on the
bowels, is harmless, safe and certain.

The Alta Pure Soft Spring Water.

"My name is water; have sped
Through strange, dark ways untried
before.
By pure desire Of friendship led.
l bring four royal gifts to thee:
Long life, health, peace and purity"
james Russell Lowell.
Pure spring water is what we all
love and at this time of the year it is
very important that we have the
purest of water to drink. The Alta
Springs Company of Merrill, Wis, is
new organization that supply
absolutely pure water to all those
who are willing to pay for it. In the
spring of the year city water and well
water is often contaminated and
therefore in many cases ough6 not to
be drank unless it has been boiled.
AS matter of precaution great
many people in this section of the
state place their order with the above
company for their water. The springs
are located at Duntield, Wis. The
Alta Spring water is obtained from
beneath granite rocks at the foot of a
high bluff and bubbles out in unlimited
quantities pure and refreshing at a
uniform temperature of AZ degrees F..
1t is rain and dew fallen upon the
everlasting bills and filtered through
them; it's outlet is the home of
thousand speckled beauties that seek
it's cool depths. To drink the water
at the spring and then to cast for the
willy trout in the stream below is
indeed rare treat.
The company claim, that it is d
pure soft spring water for table use,
for everybody, everywhere. It's ex-
ceeding purity and the absence Of
deleterious solids render it an aid to
digestion and promote the general
growth; it removes foreign substances
in the blood; acts upon liver and
kidneys and flushes the whole system.
This office Els under obligations
to the above company for case of
their product and we take pleasure in
commencing it to everyone who enjoy
a pure, cool, refreshing drink of water.
1t is as clear as crystal and is certainly
a pleasure to have in any family. 1t
is guarantee of good health. If
you are troubled with impure water
in your home from a well or city
water, you will never regret it if you
place an order with this company for
a case of their water.

BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT

The big basket bail tournament
held in the Lawrence university
gymnasium at Appleton. April 6, I
and s, was success in every respect,
and credit to the management.
Some of the finest basket ball ever
seen there was witnessed by the
hundreds interested in the event.
Possibly the most exciting of the
preliminary games was the one be-
tween Sturgeon Bay and Grand
Rapids. Sturgeon Bay won 81 to 90,
but so evenly were the two teams
matched that the game was not safe
until the sound of the timers whistle.
In the finals Fond du Lac won first
place, Sheboygan second, Milwaukee
West Division third, and Sturgeon
Bay fourth.
The tournament demonstrated that
the one who trains most faithfully in
every department of the game is the
one who wins out in the finals.

teams, the two fastest in the tourna-
ment, were in nearly as good con-

The games were refereed by Mark

by Harry Pride of Lawrence univer-
sity. Through them the games were
conducted on as fair a plane as
possible. At the close of the tourna-

Fav0rs More German.

State Superintendent G. P. Cary
has just issued the report of a
committee OF Nine, of which professor
A. r. Hohlfeld at the recent meeting
of the Wisconsin Teachers Associa-
tion. The report considers the
advisability and feasibility Of
extending the high school course in
German. The conclusions of this
committee are: First, that the
value of foreign
language justifies it's introduction
into the upper grade of the grammar
schools, and that it be recommended,
that foreign language,
preferably a modern one, be intro
duced into the upper two grades as
soon as possible, not as an additional
study, but by Encouragement of the
subjects now constituting the
elementary and high school courses,
and if necessary by the elimination of
some subject such as arithmetic,
geography, and technical grammar;
second, that those high schools now
Offering but one foreign language for
less than four years, extend the
course in that language to a full four
years course before Offering a second
foreign language. The purpose of
publishing the report is to bring the
subject before the teachers of the
state, in order that it may be fully
discussed before the next meeting of
the Wisconsin Teachers Association,
when doubtless some action will be
taken in regard to these recommen-
dationS.

The preacher who delivered the
following brief but beautiful funeral
sermon had the true spirit of his
Master: Post norton praises and love
are in the air. People stoop to kiss
the dead; they hover over open
caskets in hysterical sobs, but fail to
throw their arms about their loved
ones who are fighting the stern battle
OF life. A word of cheer for the
struggling soul in life is worth more
than all the roses in christendom
piled high on the casket covers. The
dead can't smell the flowers, but the
living can; scatter them broadcast in
their pathway therefore, and pick out
the thorns before it is too late.-Ex
