Premium Is Of.
The suit to collect the premium of
insurance written by Worden & McGill
and refused by the school board, has
been withdrawn without costs. This
insurance was, it is claimed by the
school board, written without formal
or legal order from the old board and
the new board refuses to accept it and
placed the insurance elsewhere. The
suit was promptly commenced against
the school board and, upon stipulation
as to costs, withdrawn.

WOMEN WILL ORGANIZE
American Federation of Labor to Worl
Among the Women Who Labor

American Federation of Labor to Work
Among the Women Who Labor
That decisive campaign should be
conducted to organize women in the
various crafts is the belief of the
executive committee Of the Wisconsin
Federation of Labor. That organiza-
ton has decided to do all in its power
to further the work of bringing wo-
men toi1e-s into the union. It believes
that the initiative should be taken by
the American Federation of Labor.
If the central labor body adopts reso-
lutions and sends out organizers, the
women can be unionized quickly and
thoroughly.
It is the idea Of the Wisconsin Fed
GRAFTON of Labor that the movement
should begin simultaneously III each
Of the labor cente.s of the United
States. No time will be lost by the
Wisconsin body in pushing its plan.
Through Victor L. Berger, the only
representative Milwaukee will have
at Pittsburg on November II, reso1u-
tons will be introduced to carry into
effect the plan proposed by the Wis
consin Federation Of Labor.

THE BRITT-NELSON FIGHT

There have been fight pictures in
Vulnerable shown during the past few
years, but never any which compare,
in any manner, with those of the
great Britt Nelson ARRAY at Colma,
The happiest of luck attended the
taking of these pictures, both in the
sunniness of the bright California
day and the success with which the
photographers caught their subject.
Every move, every blow, every face,
every detail, loom up in the pictur es
as clearly as though the photos had
been taken Of carefully posed, station
airy objects, instead Of virile, active
men, rushing and ranping round the
ring JIM the Berseck lust of battle.
The Britt-Nelson pictures may we'll
be called the finished Triumph of
Photographic art, and the climax Of
pictorial representation. Two show
ings of the pictures will take place at
Rhode opera house Monday Oct %.
Matinee and night. Prices, matinee

Knights Of Pythias, Woodmen
and Odd Fellows Unite to
Build FraternaI Temple
SPLENDID EDIFICE PLANNED
They Would Build Structure suf-
fcient1y Large to Accommodate
all of the Fraters al Societies
In the City.

Members of the Modern WoodrHen
of America, the Knights7of Pythias,
and the Odd Fellows have started a
movement to secure the erection in
Kenosha of splendid temple to be
used as a homes for the fraternal So
cieties of the. city. Each of the or
ders named has appointed commit
tees and the first meeting will be held
I on Wednesday, evening, at which
definite steps will be taken. It is the
plan of the three. committees to incor-
porate a company for the purpose Of
securing the erection of the big, build
ing, andsassssoon as..ssthis company is
formed stepsswill be taken to, secure
| the funds necessary to assure the
completion of the building.
Several Jears Eago similar plan
was taken up among orders in the
city but it fell through. The three
societies now interested have mem.
bership of overi7OO in the city and ii
is thought that they will be able to
swing the project. Should they find
after the first meeting Of the commit
tee that the deal is too great burden
for them other fraternal organizations
will be asked to cooperate with them
in the work. It is claimed that there
are at 1eastseven of the orders in the
city who would be willing to go into
the company if the invitation is ex-
tended to them.
The committees have held several
informal meetings and the plans have
been discussedssat length and the pre-
vai1ing opinion is in favor of the cree
ton of three-story brick and stone
building of freproof construction.
The first floor and basement of the
building would be fitted up for use as
stores so that the building would be
practically se1f-supporting The Sec
ond floor would be converted into a
suite of Offices for the fnanageme mt,
and large dance hall would take up
the remainder of the floor. The third
floor wou1ds be divided into lodge
rooms.
It is estimated that the cost of such
a building, together with site suit
able, would be in the neighborhood of
$35, 900. None of the Kenosha orders
is wealthy, but all of them have
some money in the treasury, and it is
thought that this would be sufficient
to provide for the preliminary work,
and the remaining money could be
raised as it was needed by the bonding
of the building.
It is estimated that the fraternal
orders in Kenosha pay out more than
So, 900 annually for the rent of lodge
rooms and dance halls, and with one
central building the cost of hall rent
could be considerably reduced. Sew
era1 sites have been suggested for the
new building and it is probable that
any of them can be secured at a
reasonable price.
After the meeting of the three COM
nlittees on Wednesday evening more
definite plans in regard to the build
ing will be announced. 1t is the pur-
pose of the promoters to be able to
start the work in the early spring.

NO STATE TAX
LEVIED THIS YEAR

MADISON, Wis, Oct..24-Following
the precedent of the past two years,
Acting Governor Davidson, Secretary
of State Houser, and State Treasurer
Kempf met this afternoon, and deter
mined that it will not be necessary to
levy any state tax this year, other
than the one mill school tax, which is
merely collected by the state and paid
back to the several counties in proper
tion to the number of school children.
When the state officers one year ago
RENTED the state tax it was freely
predicted that the state would fiDd it's
treasury in bankrupt condition, In
stead of being bankrupt the affairs of
the state have been SO managed that
once again the taxpayers of Wisconsin,
will experience the pleasure OF not be-
ing compelled to pay any tax for state
government. The amount of tax
which was RENTED today was 81, 125,
484. The total amount of taxes which
, have been remitted under the admin
iStration of Gov. La Toilette for the
p asst three years is 5000, 624.
The decision to remit the taxes for
this year was arrived at after care
full consideration of the amount which
the state will receive in taxes and all
| other revenues during the ear.
The state will probably secure $500,
900 by proceeding against delinquent
estates under the Inheritance tax law.
1t may secure the amount which is
now due from the railroads under the
ad valorem tax law, and which has
been withheld by the railroads for two
years. This with the interest upon it
will amount to S1.400,0O0. The rail-
roads have paid the amounts due un.
der the old license fee system, and are
trying to prove the ad valorem law un.
constitutional. Ir addition state off,
GERS say S500,0O0 will have to be paid
by the railroads for amounts withheld
in previous years when alleged false
returns were made.

In THE HIGH SCHOOL

The botany class took a short eX
cursion on Friday and while on the
trip studied the various kinds of pine
trees which have been discussed in
the study rooms.
In the foot ball game between our
high school team and Merrill last Sat-
urday, neither team scored. The
game, has been declared to have been
the hardest fought contest that was
ever pulled off in Grand Rapids.
There will be no game here next Sat-
urday, because of the declamatory con-
test the evening before the day for
playing.
Ella LatuS enrolled in the eighth
grade on Monday of this week.
On Friday evening of this week the
Senior class will hold declamatory
contest. Two persons will be chosen
from this contest to represent the
Grand Rapids high school in an inter
scholastic contest at Chicago Univer-
sity on November 10.
Prof. Youker gave the school very
entertaining and instructive talk this
morning, Tuesday, on the life and
habits of EIihu Root, best known in
this state as one of the most efficient
secretarys of war the United States
has ever had.

NOT OUT OF RACE
Congressman Brown Has Not
Withdrawn From Congress
si0nal Race in This District as
Stated by a Milwaukee PAPER.

The milwaukee Daily News of Mon
day came out with a scare head ar
ticle headed "Weob Brown will not
be candidate for reelection" The
article went on to state that close
friends of Mr.. Brown had given out
the information that he would not
make the run again. Close friends of
Mr.. Brown can also be found in this
city as well as Milwaukee. and to
date we have found noue of them who
do not hope and believe that Mr..
Brown will be a candidate for another
term. In an interview with Mr..
Brown, Tuesday he fatty denied
having made statement to the effect
that he would not be candidate an
other term and said he had made no
particular plans in regard to what he
would do. He has received many
assurances from friends in the dis
trict that he would have their united
support if be decides to run again.
1t is very likely Mr.. Brown will be
candidate to succeed himself
Rhinelander New North.
Congressman w. E. Browns many
friends in Wood county will be glad
to know that the report that he was
"out of the race" is not founded in
fact. While he is not ready to say at
this time that he will be a candidate
for reelection, he is not ready to say
that he will not be such candidate at
this time, as it is only at the begin
ming of hiScpreSent term. We believe
the people Of this section of his dis
trict are thoroughly we'll satisfied
with the way he is looking after the
interests of his entire district. He is
prompt and efficient in the discharge
Of every duty, and is becoming more
and more valuable to his district, as
his continuity in office is extended.
| We believe it advisable to keep him
there as long as we possibly can, as a
member Of Congress is able to ac-
complish more in Washington, when
he has a long continued service. His
many friends here will be glad tC
| have him continue 10 the service as
long as he can be induced to accept
| the office.

SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS
How to Keep Cream and Care
for It on the Farm.

Place the separator on a firm foun-
IdatiOn in clean, well-ventilated
room where it is free from all often
Sive OdorS.
Thoroughly clean the separator after
| each Skimnning: the bowl should be
taken apart and washed, together
| with all the tinware, every time the
separator is used; if allowed to stand
for even one hour without cleaning
there is danger of communicating. the
next lot of cream from the sour bowl.
This applies to all XII nds of cream sep
aratOTS.
Wash the separator bowl and all tin
ware with cold water and then with
warm water, using brush to polish
the surface and clean out the seams
and cracks; finally scald with boiling
water, leaving the parts of the bowl
and tinware to dry in some place
where they will be protected from
dust. Do not wipe the bowl and tin
ware with a cloth or drying towel:
heat them so hot with steam or boil
ing water that wiping is unnecessary.
Rinse the milk-receiving can and
separator bowl with quart or two of
hot water just before running milk
into the separator.
Cool the cream as it comes from the
separator or Immediately after, to
temperature near so degrees F. and
keep it cold until delivered. -
Never mix warm and cold cream or
sweet and slightly tainted cream.
Provide covered and clean water
tank for holding the cream cans, and
change the Water frequently in the
tank so that the temperature does not
rise above 60 degrees. A satisfactory
arrangement may be made by allowing
running water to flow through the
cream tank to the stock watering
tank.
Skim the milk Immediately after
milking, as it is more work to save the
milk and separate once day, and less
satisfactory, than Swimming while the
milk is warm, since the milk must be
heated again when saved until another
milking.
A rich cream testing So per cent fat
or more is the most satisfactory to
both farmer and factory. The best
separatorS will skim a rich cream as eff
iently as thin cream and more SKIM
milk is left on the farm when a rich |
cream is sold.
Cream should be perfectly sweet,
containing no Jumps or .clotS when
sampled and delivered to the haulers
Or parties buying it.
There is a good demand for sweet |
cream and perfectly clean sweet |
and satisfactory cream can easily be |
either TO retailer, or ice |
cream maker, or creamery by keep
ing clean the separator, tinware, |
and watertank, and the |
cream cold,

RURAL FREE
DELIVERY PATRONS
Here is Something That May
Prove OF Interest to Them.

The post office in Grand Rapids has
received instructions to enforce a new
orGe, in reference to raral free
delivery boxes on routes going out of
this city. 1t tends to compell every
patron OF such route to provide
proper and regulation box for the
deposit of his mail, and to protect it
from the rain and weather. The
order comes from w. R. Spilman.
superintendent of free delivery.
1t is announced by w. R. Spilman
that no favoritism will be shown in
the enforcement of this order, but
for the benefit of patrons with small
purses ample time will be given to
make the change. First, the post
master will be required to send to
Washington the names and addresses
of people on the routes running out
of their offices who do no have the
regulation boxes. To each of such
patrons will be sent circular letter
from the department at Washington
informing him that his service will
be discontinued, if within sixty days
he has not provided a regulation box.
No patron, Mr.. Spilman states, need
have any fear that his service will be
cut off without this notice.
By regulation" box is meant any
one of the nearly two hundred diff
ferent kinds manufactured in widely
different localities that have received
the approval of the postotfice de-
partment. Some of the boxes are
plain and simple and others are
ornate, SO that it will be possible to
suit the taste of almost every patron.
They vary in price from so cents to
S.. The postotfice department will
furnish list of them to any person
who applies.
The government does not have the
power to compel patrons to put up
the regular boxes, but it can take
away the service from those who do
not obey the order, and Superinten-
dent Spilman says this will lie done
| in every instance. 1t is asserted by
the department that the order is in
the interest OF facilitating the delivery
of mail and safeguarding the service.
Every box of approved design has a
| sig nal by which the carrier can tell
| without leaving his wagon whether
or not the box contains any mail that
| is to be taken up.

A GOOD IDEA

Appleton, Wis, Oct. 80. Grand
Rapids high school pupils who attend
the next annual Northeast Wisconsin
Interscholastic Athletic meet to be
given by Lawrence university the
third week in next May, will have an
opportunity Of winning $3.50 in cash
prizes to be awarded by Lawrence
The authorities of the Appleton insti-
tuition have decided to combine athle-
tic with scholarship work and thus
make the annual meet interesting to
both pupils seeking athletic laurels
and those in search of scholarship
honOrs.
A competitive examination will be
given by the professors of Lawrence
university on science, mathematics.
literature and languages usually found
in the course of accredited high
schools. Any pupil in any free accre-
dited high school in Wisconsin will be
permitted to enter the contest. The
student who stands highest IN any of
the following subjects, mathematics,
science, Latin, German and literature.
will be awarded a cash prize of $50,
and the student securing second place
will receive prize of $40. Thus it
win be seen that $3.50 will be distri-
buted among the ten winners of first
and second places in the five examina-
lions. The winners of third places
will receive honorary mention and
their names will be published in col
lege publications.
The Grand Rapids delegation to the
annual athletic meet during the last
few years has been quite liberal consid-
ering the distance from Appleton.
1t is expected that the additional eff
fort on the part of the authorities of
Lawrence university will make the
meet more attractive and will greatly
increase the attendance. In fact
there is now every reason to believe
that the next annual meet will result
in getting together one of the largest
gatherings of high school pupils in the
history of the Badger state.

FIVE HALF-BREEDS
FOR GOVERNORSHIP

From the looks OF the political situa-
tion Saturday it appeared likely that
in the near future five self announced
candidates for the Half-Breed guber-
material nomination will be in the
field.
These are Irvine l.. Lenroot, Supe-
rior; w. d. Common, MarShield; j. O.
Davidson, Soldiers Grove: ]. J..McGil-
livray, Black River Falls, and,W. H.
Hatten, New London.
The candidates. of Lenroot and Nc
|Gilli7ray already have been announced
Lieut.. Gov. Davidson, it is expected
will make similar announcement
within a few days. He came to Mil
waukee Friday, it is reported, with a
typewriter announcement in his
pocket. The Milwaukee Half-Breeds
however, used every possible argument
upon bin to keep him from entering
the field. He left Saturday for Wau-
pun without having made the anounce-
ment, but it is expected he will return
in few days and declare himself.
1t is reported that Senator Hatten
has decided to become a candidate.
The senator has gone SO far as to say
that he has the subject under con-
Siderdtion. He is in Chicago and is ex-
pected soon in Milwaukee. II is ru-
mored that he has some promises Of
extensive Stalwart support.
Connor's friends are urging him to
declare himself and although the
MarShfield man is reticent it Is ex-
pected he will soon openly be in the
field. He is still in Milwaukee look
ing over the situation.
A new eport.concerning the political
game which is being worked over the
governorship is that Gov. La Toilette
has been in Milwaukee during the
last few days. 1t is said he conferred
with F. +. McGovern Tuesday after.
noon and with Theodore Kronshage
and explained to them in detail lis
plans for furthe ring the candidacy of
and Lenroot, solicited their support.
It is expected, of course that these men
will come out strongly for Lenroot.
The governor, it is said, came up from
Chicago and after remaining in Mil
waukee for few hours returned to
Chicag0.-Milwaukee Journal.
