The EllSs of Ensley are preparing to
give a Christmas tree in their hall on
the evening of December %, which will
be one of the most successful ever given.
A full programme has been prepared

ported everything ready. Presents for
over one hundred children have already
been purchased. 1t is the hope of the
members that all of the little children in
the city who are in need will get some
gift to brighten their hearts during the
festivities.
All of the lodges of the city are very
active and are holding interesting meet
ings weekly. Following are the new
officers of the Eastern Star: Mrs. d. II.
Dunlap, worthy matron; Mrs. Robert

Zeieler Trial.

The preliminary trial of Hillary b.
zelgler and several other officers. charged
with the shooting OF Orestes Brassell,
came up this morning at 10 o'clock before
Justice of the Peace Charles Mandy. The
state was represented by Attorney Me-
Arthur and the defendant by b. NJ Al
len of Birmingham and D. ]. Flummer
of this city.
The state moved to dismiss the war
rant against all of the defendants and
the very unusual precedent was estab-
llshed by the defendants attorneys by
opposing the motion to dismiss. The
council for the defense argued that the
warrant was sworn out at the instance
of the coroner and his Jury and that the
statute provides that such a cause must
be heard by the trial magistrate on It's
merits. The court ruled with the defense
when the state announced not ready and
the case was passed till the stst inst.

WILL BE A
SUCCESSFUL MEET

From the present indications the
Northeastern Wisconsin Interscholas-
tic meet to be held in Appleton,
under the auspices of Lawrence uni
versity, May L., will be one of the
most successful meets for years. The
entry blanks have been mailed to all
the schools in the district, and con-
tain record of each member of the
team, his age, place of birth, class
standings, and the events in which
the contestant has qha ed in the
preliminaries, These BLANKS must all
be returned to Fl. S. Eouker of this
city filled out by May 8,
The following records are necessary
to qualify: 1OO-yard dash. IL 1-5 sec
onds: 220-yard dash, 26 seconds: 44O-
yard dash, minute; half-mile run, 2
minutes, 25 seconds; mile-run, 5
minutes, Is seconds; 120-yard hurdles,
20 seconds; 22O-yard hurdles, 80
seconds; discus IS feet; shotput. 33
feet; hammer, 50 feet; high jump, 4
feet, 10 inches, broad jump, II feet, 9
1Lches; pole vault. s feet, 10 inches;
relay, qualified in track event.
While the Lincoln High school will
be- represented at this meet by a
strong team, the individuals who will
compose the local aggregation have
not been designated. 1t will be seen
by the records necessary to qualify
that the best material alone can enter
but the local school has number of
promising athletes, and we should
not be very much surprised if Wansau
found unlocked for developments in
this ''neck of the woods"

PUPILS MUST ALTERNATE
In USING ARMS

Hereafter a New Yorker who is
befuddled in his calendar will have an
aid to get the correct date. Just let
him go to the window and look for
public school pupils on their way to or
from school. If the little boys and
girls are carrying their books under
their right arms it is an even date, if
the books are in The left hand or
under the left arm, it is an odd date.
Orders to principals and teachers to
this effect were issued by the board of
education yesterday. 1t is explained
that the alternate use of right and
left arms in carrying books is required
to aid equal development of both sides
of the body, and especially to avert
danger of curvature of the spine,
which the constant use of one side of
the body has been found to induce.
DR.. Luther H. Gulick, director of
physical training Of the schools, made
the recommendation.
Other orders require a military
system In commands and obeying
orders, and the motions of the hands
and feet in clearing desks, rising,
marching and like evolution are based
on the systems in use in the United
States Army.-Chlcago Record-H er-

TOMORROW is
ARBOR DAY

Tomorrow is Arbor Day and each OF
the schools in this city-in fact all over
the nation will celebrate by special
exercises. In addition to the reading
and speaking of special selections
touching upon the significance of the
day, the planting of trees in every
case will be participated in by the
pupils.
Arbor Day was instituted in Ne
braska in 1872 by Hon. j. Sterling
Morton, who afterwards became
Secretary of Agriculture. Since then
it has made its way from state to
state until provision for its observance
exists in almost every state and ter
ritory in the Union.
The central idea of Arbor Day is the
intelligent an appreciative planting
of trees by school children, and the
observance has done much to inculcate
love of trees, and has given added
impetus to the general movement for
the better knowledge and wiser use of
forests. 1t is the proper time for the
disseminating of sound, practical
knowledge regarding forestry in its
broader aspect. 1t is important that
the planting should become a model
of what can be done along these lines
so that in after years the children can
point with satisfaction to the work of
their school days.

cepted the Management Of the
New SuIphite Plant, John
Edwards Mfg, Co. and
CentraIia Pulp and
Paper Co.

G. F. Steele, superintendent and
manager of the Manufacturing de-

the city Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
in conference with the stockholders
and directors of the new Port Edwards
Sulphite & Paper Co., the John Ed
wards Mfg. Co., and the Centralia
Pulp & Paper Co., at which time he
was offered the management of these
three mills. He accepted the
position and will resign his position
with the Chicago concern to assume
his new duties as soon as he can be
released from his present position.
The coming Of Mr.. Steele into the
business circles of Grand Rapids,
means great deal. A man of his
wealth and wide experience in buSi-
ness matters, will bring ripe judg-
ment into the handling Of these large
interests which are constantly grow
ing. While he assumes the manage
ment of these three institutions, he
will have the council and assistance

AN EXCELLENT
SCHOOL EXHIBIT
The Work OF the Pupils OF the
Public Schools is a Revelation
TO Those Ignorant as to What
is Being Done.

Ii would be impossible to do justice
to the excellent display of the school
work that is being done in this city,
by any effort at portrayal. The work
must be seen to be appreciated, and if
there is any parent in the city who is
skeptical as TO the value Of the work
being done by their children under
the system of education as conducted
in our city schools, it would be wise for
them to step into the store building
at the rear Of the Wood County
National bank, and view the exhibit,
and attentively listen to the COURTEOUS
explanation of the work as it is given
by those in attendance, whom 1t is to
be remembered, are thoroughly con-
versant with each step of the school
work,
The exhibit is exclusively Of the
drawing and manual training depart
ment. The work Of the pupil may be
followed from the kindergarten to the
last year in the high school, and it is
not only instructive but entertaini az
as we'll to follow the girl as she Is
taught TO hold the needle, up to the
time when she can not only draft the
pattern, but cut, fit and make COM
plete dress; or the boy as he is taught
to manipulate the jack knife up to
the time when he can not only design
a piece Of furniture, but also make it
complete and artistic in every sense Of
the word. A visit TO this exhibit is
certain TO convince the most Skeptical
that the system of educating the
childs hand in practical way, is but
a parellel to his mental development
No one having children in the schools
Of this city should neglect to attend
this exhibit.

GATES POSTPONED
Band Hired for free Concerts
and Memorial Day Approp ria
tion Made by Common Council

The common council at It's meeting
last evening disposed of the crossing
gates matter, by postponing it in
defnately with'the:understanding that
if the G. & N. W. r. r. will put on
flagman between the hours of a. m.
and p. N. whose duty it shall be to
look after the crossing only. that the
matter will not again be reSurrected
by the council. Mr.. Seymour, of the
G, B. & W. Ry., and Mr.. Anderson;
of the st. P. Ry. spoke briefly to the
council stating that their respective
roads were willing to comply with the
wishes of the council, and they were
followed by Aldermen Hill, Gross,
Ketchum, and Jackson, and Mayor
Wheelan who spoke for continuance
of the present system of crossing pro-
lection.
An application from Mr.. Fritzinger
to furnish the city with band concerts
once each week during the next six
months for $50 per month was read,
and adopted, with the understanding
that the city hall be given them for
practice, and that they furnish the
music Memorial day free of charge
for the G. A. R, A motion appro-
priating $50 for the G. A. r. for Mem
orial day purposes was also carried.

of such men as T. E. Nash, L. M
Alexander, f. ]. Wood, an John
McNaughton.
We understand from Mr.. Steele that
work on the new sulphite plant will
commence Immediately or as soon as
the plans and specifications are COM
pleted. The erection and construction
of this new mill means an expenditure
OF several hundred Thousand dollars,
and while it is only four miles down
the river, Grand Rapids will receive
considerable benefit from it.
We also understand that the John
Edwards home in the village of Port
Edwards is going to be remodeled and
improved in many respects for Mr..
Steele and his family to occupy.
They will probably take possession of
this property as soon as the Chicago
schools close, Mr.. Steele not desiring
to leave before that time on account
of his daughters, who are enrolled in
the schools Of that city. Mr.. Steele's
Office and headquarters will be at
Port Edwards.
