also in attendance the newly elected
superintendent from the following
counties: jackson, Crawford, Ken
osha, Marathon, Oconto, st. Croix,
Sheboygan and Washington. Presi-
dent Brier, of the River Falls Nor
NAL and Institute Conductors

Considerable interest was mani
fest in several bills on school mat
tiers which are now pending in the
legislature. Assemblymen McGregor
and Ainsworth were present a
portion of the time, and gave much
needed inform alton as to meaning
and intent of their bills. Some of
the strongest educational man of
the state are numbered among the
county superintendent. Many
whose services in other lines would
command $500 per year, are doing
the important work of supervising
the schools of their counties, and
performing the multitud of other
duties pertaining to the office for
$500 or 5000 per year.
A bill to increase the salaries of
those who now receive less than
reasonable salary is now pending in
the legislature with possible chances
of enactment.

The gentlemen members of the
Eastern Star lodge were the hosts at
jubilee given the ladies at Masonic
hall Monday eve and three score
were present to participate in the
enjoyable event. Miss Josephine
Hudson ! rendered several instru-
mental solos in her usual capable
manner, Miss Ina Hastings sang
and Conductor Searles furnished
variations with his zonophone, after
which refreshments were served
and a sociable time enjoyed. The
affair was really one of good feeling
over the elegant manner in which
the lodge rooms have been complet-
ed. Ceilings and walls have re-
ceived attention especially and the
piano the Star added to the equip
pment is also a needed improve
ment. The Masons and Star mem
bers can certainly feel proud of
their handsome home, which is
undoubtedly the most elaborate in
this section of the state. The recent
repairs cost about $500.

Ben benson last week completed
the arch bridge over the creek by

Chimney Fires Costly.

Unless burning chimney has the
appearance of resulting in serious
consequences it is folly to turn in
an alarm for the fire department.
Every time the department turns
out to a call the expense to the city
is at least $25, and it is an ex-
travagant outlay. Bear this in mind
when you have a burning chimney.
