Educating the Deaf.

For some reason the question of
how to train the deaf and dumb youth
of the state is a recurring cause of
friction. There are sixteen day schools
in the state. some Of them 20 years
old. and there is no question that the
results in teaching deaf children to
speak have been very happy. OF
course the parents of the deaf child
are keenly interested in the system.
The proposal to put these day schools
under the management of the Delavan
state school and the board of control
has aroused contingents in the cities
where day schools are now doing their
work under the local board of educa-
ton, though with some state money.
For instance, in Wausau, there is a
group of eleven children, ranging from
4 to 20 years of age. with two teach
ers. They learn literally to speak.
and while some of them still retain a
harsh tone and strangers understand
them with difficulty. vet even strang-
ers can catch the simple, common
phrases that one uses, and those who
know these unfortunates we'll can
carry on full conversation with
them. The idea is to turn the De-
lavan building into school for teach
ers to the deaf and to bring these day

CAMBRIDGE


The remains of Bert Teller were
brought here from Duluth for interment
on Tuesday morning, the funeral being
held Wednesday afternoon. They were
accompanied by his wife and two chill
dren. Mr. Teller died on Sunday, March
26th, at his home in Duluth, of con-
sumption.
Christ Eben of Oakdale was caught
by falling tree last Thursday and had
his face badly bruised and cut aud suf-
fered an intra capsular fracture of the
hip. He lay unconscious under the tree
for some time and was rescued by his
family after consciousness returned.
Lewis Benson assumes control of the
Cambridge creamery tomorrow. Mr. w

ten years, has concluded to 60 into the

the Aetna Life company.
The family who has not feasted on fish
the past few days has been unfortunate
indeed, for the creek mas been literally
alive this spring. All day Sunday the
creek banks and railroad bridge we're
thronged with people watching the fish
ernen, and the water shoot through the
break in the dam. Fish were caught as
fast as they could be hauled out and
were almost drug on the market. The
fishway at Rockdale accounts for the
abundance of fish in the creek.
The ice went out of Koshkonong creek
last Saturday and with it part of the
dam, one of the piles in the railroad
bridge and the deluge of water which
swept through the opening in the dam
washed away the north stone butment
to the iron bridge near the lumber office,
letting one end down into the creek. The
break in the dam did not occur until
about o'clock when almost all the ice
was out The water overlooked the
banks previous to the break and washed
out considerable of the filing on the
east side of the dam. The railroad
bridge was repaired Sunday by building
truss over the span where the pier was
| washed away and the road bridge will
be repaired just as soon as the water re-
cedes enough to permit the butment to
be rebuilt.

there and on April last sailed for
Maiden Island to get load of guano
We reached Maiden island without
anything happening and were taking
on our cargo when on May 10 up came
the worst storm in my experience. The
island is simply a coral rock covered
with guano and we were anchored out
in the open roadstead. The storm did
not reach us unprepared for we had

no one was hurt. The ship was a

same gale. We kept fires burning at
night and on June II Captain Jensen
took us aboard the Turner and here we

experience there was an exact repro

'The storm struck us very hard"

nothing. Our cables snapped and we
drifted right on to the reef where the
ship pounded terribly. There were
sixteen of us aboard but when / saw
that nothing could be done I gave or

Maiden island is a British possession
It is uninhabited save for millions Of

SHARK FISHING FOR PROFIT

sHARKs-LEATHER EXPECT
ED PRoFIr-THE CRUISE EXPERIMENTAL ONE BUT
A INDUSTRY

Somewhere out on the broad Pacific
the crew of the good ship Mokihana
are waging warfare against the shark
tribe. 1t is two weeks now since she
sailed away on her mysterious mission
for neither her skipper nor any of her
crew of ten natives would tell whittier
they were bound or why they were
bound there.
One reason why none of them would
tell where they were going was excel
lent. They did not know. Their course
was all to make and the sharks were
to make it. The Mokihana may be back
in two weeks or she may be absent as
many months for she is well provi-
stoned and her voyage will end only
when she has killed sharks enough or
when supplies fail.
C. K. All. the well known Chinese
American owner of the City Mill, is the
hacker of the expedition and if this
venture turns out well it is quite prob
able that Honolulu will see establish
