Walking q Lost Art.

Time was when everybody walked
and thought it no disgrace. For then
walking was only degree slower
than the quickest means OF lo2omo-
ton, and by that token respectable
But who thinks of walking now? Ii
YOU go into a shoeshop where 50 styles
of fine footgear are offered, you won't
find a shoe you could walk :. mile in
without being crippled, and though
YOU call for the best grade OF stock
fngs. they are worn through the first
time you put them on If you go afoot.
Nobody who is anybody Is expected to
walk any more. The trolleys and the
devil wagons have made walking in
tolerably slow, and the airships, when
they come, will doubtless abolish 1t
for good and all. And that Is prog
ress. The voice which clamors for
stockings that will wear or shoes that
are easy is a voice out of the past,
the echo of dead traditions.-Life.

Shot Gun Explodes Causing Loss of
An Arm and Other
Wounds.

Talmadge Brindley, nephew Of Mrs.
William Bell, visiting at the various
Bell homes in this city met with bad
accident Sunday morning.
He accompanied his relatives to the
woods, taking shotgun with him.
While standing on log the gun was
exploded. The charge cut the hip, arm
and collar bone, shattering the latter
badly.
He was taken to the hospital for
treatment and the arm was amputated
above the elbow. The unfortunate
young lad is getting along well.
1t is remarkable that the shock of the
accident did not cause any perceptibie
collapse When the members of the
party arrived at the scene of the ac-
cident the boy was standing on the log,
holding the injured arm.

IT SWIPES MATCHETTE.
Tony Enterprise Hits MatcL cite For
Hill


The Tony Enterprise tells what an ex-
pert register E. w. Hill makes. That
is all we'll enough. Hill is doubtless
capable-no one doubts that. But the
Enterprise is Jealous advocate prob
ably thinks it necessary to add steam
pressure to make up for dearth of read
ers, and explodes bomb in the state
ment that there are many less errors
since Hill has been in the office than
when any of his predecessors pushed the
pen. Probably Hill, who is only deputy,
holding Office by the grace of his prin-
cipal, would not stand for this dispar-
cement OF. the talent and attention to
official business of the man behind the
job. R
Mr.. Matchette has some friends ir
Rusk County, and while they may not
charge this breach of courtesy and dis.
toriion of facts to Hill, they will prob
ably expect him to see that the Tony
gazetteer of county seat visitors makes
amends to the man behind Hills job.
But the purpose was perhaps not Sc
much to boost Matchette's hired mar
at Matchette's expense as to imply that
Hill is superior to his opponent, Barrett
While the News has neither commission
nor obligation to speak for Barrett, i
will remark that the man who will
make a better record than Barrett has
MT been discovered. He is eminently
qualified for the position and we arr
certain that neither he nor his friend:
will ever resort to disparaging th'
abilities of as all-round good people az
j. A. Matchette for political purposes.

More Political Perfidy.

Mayor Newman of Ladysmith, Judge
McGill, Editor Richards and Candidate
Briggs were campaigning together in
Chippewa Falls last week according to
the Chippewa Falls Daily Independent.
MAYOR Newman? Did the cam
paigners need prestige? If not why
did they represent to the voters of
Chippewa Falls that Newman wss
mayor of our city. Newman, the man
whose daily journal must of necessity
have stamped on every page the words
wrecked and failure.
Can it be that it was typographical
error, or did it originate in the mind of
the printers or some other devil?
These evidently are the "friends"
who have promised to deliver the Office
of assemblyman to Candidate Briggs.
If Newman keeps this promise as
we'll as he kept his promise to repay
$4,000 to the Chicago bank, or his
promise to repay the $4,000 obtained
from John S. Owen under the pretense
of needing money to purchase railroad
right of way, but which was obtained
for other purposes and which was final
ly used under the command of bank
examiner to pay Newman's debt to
the bank of which he was president,
we are afraid that Briggs will wait
long and anxiously for the fulfillment
of the promise.

FACTS VERSUS FICTION
The Journal Has Come to the Rescue
ofthe Newnan-M -McGill Bank Wreck
ing Political Machine on the
Assembly Question.


It, among other matters that are not
worth the space for reply, asserts
in defense of the fact that Briggs has
been in the county but short time,
that Thomas aspired to become chair
man Of the Republican county commit
tee when he had been in the county but
short time. -
Mr.. Thomas states to the News that
the Journals statement is unqualifiedly
false. That. he did not aspire to the
position, did not seek it, would not
have accepted it if it had been offered,
in fact was absent from the county on
professional business at the time when
the chairman referred to was elected.
The Journal also asks in an insulting
and insinuating way whether it can be
said that Thomas has not made any
political promises.
For the benefit of the Journal and it's
bank wrecking colleagues We are auth
orized by Mr.. Thomas to say that he
has not as a condition of obtaining
support, made any political promises,
and has not been asked by any one,
except the Newman-McGill candidate
for sheriff, to make any such promises;
that their candidate for sheriff, F. j.
Putnam, did come to the office of Mr..
Thomas five or six days before Briggs
was induced to become a candidate,
and asked Mr.. Thomas to get McNally
to withdraw from the race for sheriff,
on the promise that Putnam and his
supporters would not put up a Rusk
county candidate for Assemblyman
against Mr.. Thomas, and that he in
formed Mr.. Putnam that he was not
McNally's campaign manager, had no
control over him, and would not request
him to withdraw. In fact was not
willing to enter into any trade with the
ring
The News is not at loss in finding
a reason for the Journals opposition
to Mr. Thomas, and for the informa-
tion of the public, will state that Mr..
Thomas was one of the eight or ten
business men of Ladysnith who real
lied that the corruption of the political
gang which controlled affairs in this
county could not be broken until the
standing and methods used by the lead
ers was brought before the public.
And he joined with the others in or
ganizing the News. These men later
sold the paper to Geo. B. Goocher.
The News is the hated business rival
of the Journal; and in fact although
much younger paper than the Journal,
has much larger circulation. It is
not to be wondered at therefore, that
the Journal will distort facts, when
by doing so it will oppose any one who
was instrumental in bringing the News
into existence.

BAD ACCIDENT TO BOYsURvEyING FLAMBEAU

Party of United States Engineers
Performing This Work.
A party of United States engineers
have been surveying the Flambeau
river for some time with special atten-
tion to the water powers.
A Washington dispatch says: The
Flambeau is crossed near it's mouth Cat
Ladysmith) by the Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Sault Ste. Marie railway; near
its center Cat Parks Falls) by the Wis
consin Central, and at its upper head
wsters by Northwestern railway Be
tween Park Falls and Ladysmith is a
reach OF seventy miles unserved by
railroad and yet with no point at a
greater distance than fifteen miles from
the railroad. The settling of the drain
age area viii eventually justify the ex-
tension of the present. railway systems
and the building of new ones. The un-
usually steady flow of this river, the
soft water, and the proximity of almost
unlimited quantities of pulp wood should
make this region a center of the paper
