HER USE OF THE DIRECTORY.

Woman Explains why she Kept Line
of People Waiting. t...
A stylishly dressed and altogether
good looking woman was turning over
the leaves of a directory in a leisurely
manner when an irascible old gentle
man, known to many of his acquaint-
ances as man with a very small
stock of patience, entered. He wished
to use the directory too, possibly, to
look up the address of a man who
owed him money. He stood about,
now and then casting heavy looks in
the direction of the directory. and
coughing SUCCESSFULLY
a business man in a hurry followed.
He wanted to know where Walter
Jones lived. 1t is a block or two away,
but he had forgotten the number. He
fell into line.
Then a man who sought some city
official but knew nothing of his office
except that it closed in a few minutes,
Joined the ranks of walters.
Still the woman placidly turned over
leaf after leaf without any apparent
intention to decide whether the name
she was seeking was Brown, Smith or
Jones.
Finally, when matters were begin
ming to grow very tense, young man
rushed in. His mission would posi-
lively admit of no delay so he politely
offered to assist the woman, suggest
ing that his experience might tend to
save time and lessen her labor. When
he asked her what she sought, with
a sweet smile of appreciation, she re-
piled:
"Oh, thank you You are very kind.
I am trying to find a real pretty name
fer my baby"

BEGGs MAKES A NEW OFFER.
Wants to Change Route of His Cars
Through Racine.

John |. Beggs of the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway company has made
proposition to the city of Racine to ex-
tend his line to the Rapids, summer
resort, provided the council will grant
him franchise or right OF way to
change the system in the south part OF
the city. He desires to run all sars
south over the Park avenue line, in
Guiding the interurban cars, to Seven
teenth street, and coming into the city
over Wisconsin street.
This would do away with two blocks
of track on Wisconsin street and
more than mile on De Koven avenue.
In order to bring about this change
the city must grant the right to lay
tracks south of Fourteenth street on
Park. a mile on Seventeenth, and two
blocks on Park avenue. 1t is doubtful
if the city will grant the request.
Members of the Caledonia town
board took no action on the application
of the company to run branch line
from the subway in that town to the
north county line.

STATE AID is REDUCED.
La Crosse Fair Association Postpones
Meetinu TO Consider Chance

La Crosse Fair Association Postpones
Meeting to Consider Change.
An Interpretation of the state aid
law, as it applies to fair and agricul-
tural exhibitions, points out that in
reckoning the amount of state aid,
the money paid by fairs for premiums
in special events, such as band con-
tests, baseball games, etc, shall not
be computed with the premiums for
agricultural and scientific exhibits.
The La Crosse Interstate Fair associa-
ton is awaiting the receipt of the
money from Madison, but the payment
has been delayed The directors of
the association have postponed their
meeting until the state is heard from.
Secretary of State HOuser has adopted
this ruling and the result is a pro-
nOunced reduction in the state aid to
the fairs of Wisconsin thi syear. The
La Crosse association at West Salem
has been advised that its money will
be reduced from $1,000 to $500, and a
similar reduction has also been made
at VirOqua.

Corset Saves Woman's Life.

James McGraw, forty-twO years OF
age, a paper mill employe from Eau
Claire, shot and instantly killed Ed
Cameron, a saloonkeeper, in room
over a restaurant kept by Mrs. Nc
Graw at Spooner, after which he went
to Mrs McGraw's room and shot her.
Her corset steel DETECTED the bullet
and saved her life. McGraw made his
escape
An hour later he appeared at the
home of Winsor Plaine, on the out
skirts of the town, and asked to warm
himself. When Mr.. Plaine stepped
from the room McGraw secured a
butcher knife and went up stairs, got
into bed and stabbed himself in the
neck, causing instant death.
Jealousy is supposed to have been
the cause. Mrs. McGraw was the
former wife of Cameron's dead

Graves Come Too Close.

ADecision handed down by Judge
O'Neill of Eau Claire in the case OF
Nels Frederickson against the Willow
River Cemetery association indicates
that in the eyes of the law the hablta-
tions of the living must not be dis
turbed to make room for the graves
of the dead.
Frederickson lives at East Hudson,
near the Willow River cemetery,
which is owned by and association
that sells lots to families. Last year
the association purchased some lana
adjoining Frederickson' residence,
with the intention of making it a part
of the cemetery. This was objection
able to Frederickson, who brought
suit in the circuit court OF st. Crol&
county to restrain the association
from using the land adjacent TO ms
house as a burying place.

HITS AT PROFESSORS.
Wisconsin Publication Says Hard
Things of Faculty Members.

Things of Faculty Members.
The Daily Cardinal in a recent issue
charged that Wisconsin university
professors are becoming intellectual
aristOcrats" who have put themselves
on a pedestal like penitent monks of
the old Eastern countries" 1t says:
The legislative committee will find,
if it pursues it's investigation long
enough and searching enough, that
there has grown up among our univer-
sity professors a certain intellectual
aristocracy which is far from benefi-
cial to the students and the state.
Many of those professors who are re-
ported to have built up the University
of Wisconsin have placed themselves
on pedestals like the penitent monks
of old in the Eastern countries.
Like those ancient penitents, too,
many of our professors expect to re-
ceive their sustenance from the pOpu-
lace, whom they expect to be ever
ready to hand to them in their high
position the YAM and date with not
even a 'thany you to compensate
them-W

tracted the attention of the clerk,
Tille would make off with such goods
as she deemed desirable Among 9th
err things she is charged with having

WORkMEN ATTACK INTRUDER.
infringement Controversy Leads to AS

turing Company of ManitowOc, whose
factory is at Ludington, Mich, severe
ly beat J. V. MillingtOn, aged seventy
years, painted his whiskers green and
loaded him on Pere Marquette ferry
boat for a passage home.
The attack on Wilmington is an Incl
dent in a bitter fight that is being car
ried on between the Hamilton Manu-
featuring Company of Two Harbors
and the Tubbs company. These are
the only two concerns in the United
States manufacturing wood type and
printers wood supplies. There is a
patent infringement suit pending be-
tween them in the supreme court at
Lansing, Mich.
Wilmington, it is alleged, was detect
ed by the Tubbs workmen in the act of
securing a list of names of persons to
whom shipments were being made,
and it was this that aroused the wrath
of the Tubbs employees. Wilmington
was obliged to give up the list, and
when pressed, it is alleged, he stated
that he was employed by patent at
tOrney having an office in Chicago.
Armed guards have been placed about
the Luddington factory since the Mill

FORGOT THEIR AGREEMENT.
Students of Lawrence University En-
GAGE in More Scraps.

Despite the fact hat the Lawrence
university students signed an agree
ment that they would not participate
in class scraps, the freshmen and
sOphomOres met twice in two days
last week at Appleton. A fight fol-
lowed the sophomOres running up
their class colors on the university
dome after winning the indoor meet.
The first day the freshies had just sue
ceeded in taking the colors down when
President Plantz put in an appearance.
The next morning the cOlOrs were
again floating from the flagstaff, and,
while trying to bring them down, the
freshmen broke the halyards. A knot
in the rope prevents the 1908 banner
from coming down and saved the
freshmen, who were in the dome from
being attacked by the sophomores who
were on their way upstairs.

COURT MUST DECIDE.
Controversy Now on Deer Question ct
Sunday Pay for Supervisors.

Sunday Pay for Supervisors.
There has been much controversy
over the question of Sunday pay for
members of the county board of super
visors for Monroe county, also as to
whether time spent to town business
during annuo1 board meetings should
be deducted from a supervisors pay;
and also pay for examining justice of
the peace dockets, ETC. The Sunday
pay question was brought up two years
ago and the district attorney gave it
as his opinion that the supervisors
could not legally collect pay for Sun
days, as there was no session on that
day
Some members claimed pay, as they
came to the county seat for two or
three weeks session and that they
were there on expense Sundays and
were entitled to the So per diem.
This year about twenty members
included Sundays in their bills and
about twelve did not, the latter
claimed that the former had illegally
drawn money from the county, or
that the county owed them for the
Sundays spent at the county seat.
Distdict Attorney w. B. Naylor has,
after due preparation, and a careful
looking up of the legal aspects in
