IN THE LOBBY

The heartache caused by the San
Francisco disaster could not more
typically be represented than by the
instance of Mrs. Nathaniel Black of
Manila. p. l.. the niece of Mrs. VIII
liam Marble of this city. Mrs. Black
had a mother and several other rela-
tiyes In San Francisco at the time OF
the earthquake. The first news re-
ceived OF the disaster was q wireless
telegraph message stating the town
had been destroyed. From that time
on for several days she heard only
the widest rumors. Mrs. Black has
accepted an invitation to sing In
cathedral on the Sunday following
the earthquake. but through anxiety
about her relatives felt In no con
dition to do so. She was not excus-
ed. however. and on that morning
she had been earnestly praying that
her relatives might have been saved.
Her song was Ave Maria" A WON
an sitting next TO her knowing her
distress said. Sing your song like II
was a prayer for your people" With
this idea she sung with unusual force
and enthusiasm and Just as she sat
down at It's close. man whom she
knew stood in the door across the
cathedral holding a telegram In his
hand and she saw his lips form and
artlculate the one word saved"

OPERA HOUSE WANTED
The City of Ladysmith Needs a Play
House Managed on Up-to-Date
Methods.

For some time there has been an un-
dercurrent manifestation of desire
upon the part of the people of Lady
smith for a first class opera house.
By first class" is not meant an eX-
travagent one-not one embellished for
show-but a commodious, comfortable
and well managed one to which the
best class Of performances consistent
with the size of the town may be at
tracted.
Show people possess the fraternal
spirit to a large extent and the reputa-
tion of town or opera house manage
ment soon becomes known to the show
world. If undesirable, only the poorer
class of shows will stop.
The impression is adrift that Lady
smith is poor show town. The COM
pany that was here the first of the
week was surprised with the crowded
houses received. This demonstrates
but one fact-that good show, if the
people know it to be such, will draw
remunerative houses in Ladysmith.
Those who have confidence that with
good opera house and proper man
agement this city would come to the
front along this line, are anxious to
have the right thing prevail.
A ground floor opera house could be
built at moderate outlay. 1t need not
be very centrally located. 1t need not
be built on extravagant lines-just a
spacious, comfortable house-and well
managed.

Fred e. Austin Tells About Condi-

Fred R. Austin of the R. A. Austin
Land company of Bruce was in the city
Tuesday.
Mr.. Austin returned to Bruce from
northern Iowa points last Saturday
where he had visited several places
and had noted conditions carefully.
He says that we are not the only peo-
pie who are contending with too much
water at this time He tells us that
Iowa is thus troubled to such extent
that the crops are not all planted.
Corn is not in the ground and much of
the blowing for corn has not been
done.
MIR. Austin found frost there very
recently. He says that Iowa people
are very much interested in Rusk coun-
ty opportunities and that as soon as
they are able to get their work in hand
he expects lot of them up this way to
look at land. These people are already
convinced of the merits of our county
and are ready buyers. They are men
of means and will proceed to make use
of their lands.

SALOON QUESTION AT BRUCE.
J. E. Gleason Discusses It with Rea-

j. E. Gleason Discusses 1t with Rea-
son and Moderation.
J. E. Gleason of Bruce was a caller
in the city Monday and a visitor at the
News office. Mr.. Gleason is one of
those who want to see the saloon issue
that has been raised in his town settled
right. He believes that the people
should handle such questions with mod
GRAFTON and purpose to do right. The
saloon men should be treated fairly and
should so conduct themselves as to de-
serve far treatment.
There are doubtles too many saloons
in the town-at least this is Mr. Glea-
sons opinion-for the success of those
institutions. On that basis he raises
the question of have to reduce the num-
ber? Consolidation might solve the
problem if the saloon men would con-
solidate. The village board could then
shut out futhur applications in accord
ance to the ratio of saloons to popula-
tion and keep the matter so in hand
that the saloons could do successful
business within legal bounds and avoid
trouble and turmoil. Mr.. Gleason wants
to see peace in the municipal family.

TO TEST BUTTER and CHEESE.
Monthly Scoring Contests to be Held
at University Dairy School.


at University Dairy School.
Madison, Wis, May 23.-Arange-
ments have just been completed for
holding monthly butter and cheese scor-
ing contests under the auspices of the
dairy school of the University Of Wis
consin. The purpose of the contests is
to determine each month the relative
merits of butter and chesse submitted
for examination by Wisconsin dairymen.
The judges will point out the merits
and defects of these dairy products
submitted for their examination, and
will thus help those that participate in
the contests to improve their products.
Whenever the packages submitted by
any butter maker or cheese maker. are
found particularly deficient, i is the in
tn..tion of the dai1, Flgu sl.1s1laslo-a-
er to send an Inspector to the factory
in which the deficient product was made,
in order TO ASSIST the dairyman in To-
eating the source of the difficulty. AS
the aim is purely educational, there will
be no premiums or medals awarded.
The plans and necessary arrangements
for carrying on the work. have been per-
fected by representatives of the Wis
consin Dairymen's Association, the
Wisconsin Butter Makers Association,
Wisconsin Cheese Markers Association,
State Dairy and Food Commission, and
the University of Wisconsin dairy
school.
The contests will take place each
month at the university dairy school.
No entrance charges will be made, but
all packages must be sent prepaid. At
ter each contest the packages of butter
and cheese will be shipped to Chicago,
where they will be sold, and the net
proceeds of each ninety per cent will be
published each month.
Some 250 entries have already fbeen
received for the first contest. From
present indications these monthly con-
tests in Wisconsin will lead those of all
other states, not only in the number of
packages to be scored, but also in the
quality of the products. Among the ex-
perts who will act as judges are Prof.
E. H. harrington, Mr.. U. S. Baer, J.
G. Moore, M. Michels, Dodge, and
others.

Played to Three Crowded Houses with
Fine Performances.
The Dougherty Campbell Stock COM
pany appeared at the Opera house
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings. If we had more of such clean
and excellent performances, play-going
would become more general in Lady
smith. The ''ladies free" scheme
brought good house the first night and
the excellent performance brought the
people back on the subsequent evenings.
This demonstrates that the people OF
Ladysmith appreciate good performan-
ces and that they will give sufficient
patronage to warrant the appearance of
good companies.
