At their meeting held last Thurs
day the members Of Mckinley
Circle Nadies of the G.. A. r. voted
SO to be sent to the San Francisco
earthquake sufferers. Mrs. Show
alter wishes us to state that If any
other lodges or individuals wish to
contribute to this sum they will
please leave their donations with
names with V. L. Showalter and
the same will be forwarded to tie
relief committee at San Francisco
and the names of donors published
in the Grant county papers. The
action Of the ladies is certainly
worthy of emulation and there
ought to be a general ralIying
around the banner of charity. Let

What Ruskin Says.

IF American young women are
disposed to consider cookery a COM
mon-place and uninteresting accom-
plishment, let us call their atten-
ton to the opinion of so broad
minded man as Ruskin: ITO be
a good cook means the knowledge
Of all fruits, herbs, balms and
spices, and of all that is healing
and sweet in fields and groves, and
savory in meats; means carefulness,
inventlveness, watchfulness and
readiness of appliance. 1t means
the economy of your great grand
mothers, and the science of modern
chemists. It means much tasting
and no wasting. It means Eng
lish thoroughness. It means, in
fine, that you are to be perfectly
and always ladies Qoaf-givers,) and
are to see that every one has some
thing nice to eat"

Factory Girl Gets 500, 900.

By a decision rendered at La
Crosse last Saturday IN the A. Il.
Dairs will case, Mrs. Elizabeth
Davis, widow of the late Walter
Davis, is to receive her husbands
share of a 500, 900 estate during her
life, providing she remains I'M
married. Mrs. Davis, who was en-
ploved in a local factory married
walter Davis year ago, and forty
eight hours after the marriage was
left widow. She contested the
will of the late A. HI. Davis, which
provided the income of the estate
should be equally divided among
Mrs. A. H Davis, and two sons,
asking for her husbands full share
of the estate.

shoulders of the other. But all classes
are parts of the whole and none are
exempt from criticism. All poor men
are not honest and all rich men are
not dishonest. The dissecting knife
OF criticism may be as needful in the
lower strata of society as in the upper.
examination may reveal the fact that
they have common characteristics, and
the tree of evil that faunts and flour
lshes so bravely above the upper strata
may be found to have it's roots en-
bedded in the lower. Apply the blade
to the root and the tree falls. Votes
cannot be bought unless they are for
sale;orlbes cannot be given unless they
are received and men cannot be used
as tools unless they are tools.
Criticism to be helpful must re-
cognlze these facts and should not
cOntine itself within narrow bounds,
but should enter into all the walks of
life and use the needful surgeons blade
to dissect envy, hate, revenge, selfish
ness, dishonesty and all that goes to
make the great sum total of social evil
wherever found.

Supt. Dyer's AssalIant.

The Dubuque Sunday Times has
the following to say about Peter
Collier, the lunatic, who escaped
from the county asylum last Thurs
day afternoon after murderously
assaulting Supt. Dyer:
Peter Collier, an escaped insane
patient from the state hospital at
Lancaster, Wis, was arrested last
Saturday evening and will be taken
back Sunday, although he protests
he will not go. The chief of police
of Lancaster has arrived to take him
back. A big fight is anticipated.
He has been at large since Thursday
evening.
The fact Of the matter is this:
City Marshal Budworth captured
the unfortunate man at East Du-
buque, the poor fellow having walk
ed the entire distance carrying the
grub hoe with which he assaulted
his superior, and upon arriving at
East Dubuque, pawned the same
for a glass of beer. When the
demented man was found he was
sitting on pile of railroad ties and
was SO fatigued from his tramp and
exposure that he could not offer
any resistance had he felt inclined
to do so. He meekly submitted to
be shackled and accompanied his
captor to this city in a very docile
manner and is now in safe keeping
at the county asylum until some
other disposition can be made Of
him.

PROF. PRAY MUST GO.
Normal Regents Refuse to RecOnsid--
Ell Their Action.

dispatch dated at La Crosse ADPil 27tF.
states that the state board of normal regents
formally rejected the appeal of President
Il. b. Pray of the Stevens Point normal
School for reconsideration of the action
taken at the February meeting calling for
ms resignation. delega ton from Stevens.

f. McGlachlIn, E. d. Glennon, @. NJ Dahl
and DR.. F. A. Southwick. being leading
lawyers, editors and capitalists of that Mace
appeared in behalf of Mr.. Pray. Mr. Park
made speech appealing for fair treatment
to the Stevens Point official. At the close Of
his speech vote was taken and it was I'M
animOnsly against Mr.. Pray. No argument
was submitted on opposing side. The Stevens.
Point delegation left for HON at noon com
planning bitterly of the action of the re-.
gents.
The boards statement is in general terms.
1t begins with the three following main com
plants:
The man who is now filling position OF
president of the Stevens Point normal is not
in the opinion of the board a vigorous and
efficient administration official.
He is not. in the opinion of the board an
enthusiastic and inspiring teacher and edu-
cational leader.
We believe these defects to be tempera-
mental and it is therefore practically i'm
possible for him to overcome them.
We believe the Stevens Point normal
school IS not now securing the best results
obtainable, all things considered.
is said that change should have been
made some years ago and would have been
made except for the reluctance of the board
to make changes. Complaint IS made of the
presidents ''slowness in action and prOlixi-
ty in words 1t is further said that dfssat-
isfaction with his work was so often ey-
pressed that he ought to have known he
could not long retain his position and that
his expressions of surprise are not warrant
ed It is claimed that the presidents iudr-
ment as to which are his best graduates is
bad and that he is not informed of the work
going on in his own school.
The board concludes with a statement that
it regrets 20 reveal the presidents short
cOmings, but that his actions and those o.
his friends have forced it to do so.

A Criticism.
(COntributed,l

(Contributed.J
For downright sharp and clean and
dissection of motive and character the
Treason Of the Senate articles run
ming in one of our magazines are
worthy of the attention they are at
tracing.
The subjects of these articles, and
others of a similar nature, are laid up
on the dissecting table of the press and
sharp and busy pens of skillful dis
sectors lay bare their lives and char
acter to the public gaze.
The victims have reason forever
after to shun the public eye, for their
unworthy motives and wrongful deeds
have been blaZoned far and wide and
they are objects of popular distrust.
Dissection, either for the purposes
OF science or those of criticism, may
be carried to extremes. Extremes are
dangerous, and to criticise criticism
is sometimes in order.
Observation of the trend of present
day newspaper and magazine articles
leads to the belief that criticism is
approaching the danger line.
We have criticism of social, political
and commercial life; of our noted men;
investigations" and exposures" of
this, that, and the other things, until
it would seem that we cannot have an
ideal or shred of reverence left for
anything. But it is said the cause of
social betterment demands the "seats
of the mighty" to be shaken by the
thunders of adverse criticism, and de-
mands the arraignment of their &C.
cupants before the bar of public opin-
ion. All must admit that criticism of
wrong doing is undoubtedly a power
full aid in the work of social better
ment, but criticism to be helpful must
be calm, cool. and discriminating, not
a reckless, feverish sort of thing
pandering to a degenerate desire for
sensationalism by careless, wholesale
wrecking of reputation.
Social betterment begins with the
individual. High or low, itch or poor,
no one can shirk responsibility for
social conditions for these conditions

acts, Graft and thievery are rampant
and triumphant because social condi-
tions make it possible for them to be
so. The "seats of the mighty" are
shaken by those who would occupy the
vacant places for dollars sake rather
than for principles sake. Regulations
are wrecked and lives ruined for igno-
BILE ends, and each class of society
seems to strive to place the response

We're 10th to See Them Go.

III. G. Walton and family take
their departure this week for their
future home at Oklahoma City,
where Mr.. Walton recently purchas-
ed a studio and an established bus
mess in his chosen profession.
The HERALD voices the sentiment
of everyone in Lancaster in express
sing regret over the departure of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walton who have been
prominent figures in business and
social circles for a long term of years.
Mr.. Walton is one of the best and
most progressive photographers in
the state and Lis work has more than
local reputation for excellence. His
business doubled the past five years
here and on the site of the little
brown shack he formerly occupied
we now see that cOmmOdi0us new
brick block. Mrs. Walton will also
be missed among large circle of
neighbors and friends.
The new field they go to is much
larger and Mr.. Walton will have
greater opportunities to expand.
We all wish them we'll and trust
that their every anticipation will be
realized in the new location.

One of our worthy exchanges
stops TO remark: when you wish
to stop a paper write the publisher
letter giving your name and adj
dress and enclose a money order for
the amount due on your subscrip-
ton and the paper will be stopped.
Don't try to escape paying for your
paper by refusing it through the
postofice. The law provides that
you must pay for your pack sub
scription before you can discon-
tinue. Don't get mad if publisher
needs money and sends yon state
ment telling of his needs, but be a
man and help him out by paying up.
There are many accounts to keep in
the operation of a newspaper, and if
a mistake is made you will find the
publisher pleased to right it.

BLOOMINGTON.

Without unnecessary delay, the
relatives here received messages
from their folks on the Pacific.
Frank Newman's sister, Mrs. Rev.
Burleson, wrote of the well-nigh
complete destruction of the business
section of Santa Rosa. The resi-
dence portion Jared better. The
chimneys we're destroyed and
plaster badly cracked on the rectory
occupied by them, but they were
uninjured. James and My1on Ryan
were lucky in San Francisco. Their
residence withstood the earthquake
and escaped the fire although their
real estate Office was probably
destroyed. Probably real estate
will be lively in that city for several
years to come. DR.. Sala's sister,
Mrs. Boggess, resides in Oakland,
and her son and daughter, who
reside in Frisco lost their residence,
but escaped with their lives. L. D.
Holford's people write from 1ulare
that they experienced a lively
shock, but no particular damage
was done.

for the delivery every Sunday
morning of our Glen Haven mail.
The town has no Sunday mail at all.

and expects to erect another modern
dwelling thereon.

view to building several blocks this
