Marshall Field, the Chicago mer
chant prince, died IN New York on
Tuesday, after q brief illness with
pneumonia. ~
Marshall Field was without ques-
tion the greatest and most success.
full merchant Of his generation, and
he was one Of the world 8 richest
men, his wealth being estimated at
anywhere from 800, 900, 900 to
5000, 900, 900. $.:.ss .s5:, : .4..5s$is.. IL ~ 3
He wasa naGive of Con way. Mass,
where he was born in 1885. His
father was 4 farmer, and Mr.. Field
obtained his education in the public
schools Of Conway At the age of II
years he became 8 clerk in a gem
eral country store in Plttsfeld,
Mass, where he remained for four
year. -.
He removed to Chicago in 1856
and began his career in that city as
a clerk in the wholesale dry goods
establishment of Cooley, Wadsworth
& Co. During the four years that
he remained with this house, he
showed marked commercial ability,
anu in 1860 he was given a partner

The late Lsv i z. Letter was also
connected with tho Arm, and in 1865
the to young men withdraw, and,
in company with Potter Palmer,
they organized the firm of Field,
]. Palmer 81 Letter, which contin1ed
until 1867, when Mr.. Palmer with
drew and the firm became Field,
Letter q co. This~ continued until
1851, when Mr.. Letter retired, and
the firm became known as Marshall
Field & Co., as it is today.
The house forged to the front
very rapidly, and now has numerous
branches tn roughout Europe and
Asia. Its remarkable SUCCESS if
attributed almost entirely to Mr.
Field and his methods. He made
it a rule never to borrow money
and never to issue note. He paid
cash for everything he bought, not
only in connection with his dry
goods enterprise, but for all Of hls
dealings in real estate, and in other
investments. The great fire OF
1871 was the only reverse ever ex-
perience by the house Of Marshall
Field & Co. Its loses at that time
aggregated over 81, 900, 900.
In 1872 the wholesale department
was separated from the retail store
and the latter now covers one city
SQUARE and is located in buildings
twelve stories in height.
While building ur the dry goods
store which has grown to such
mammoth proportions, Mr. Field,
who was firm believer in the
future Of Chicago, invested heavily
in real estate and to the apprecia
ton of this in value he owed much
of his, wealth. - r~r ~ r = 4 -.

These examinations will take

All teachers are requested TO read
carefully the following extract from
a circular letter received from
State Superintendent Olsen.
''There is only small balance
left of the appropriation set aside for
conducting the teachers examina-
tions. For that reason the depart
ment finds it will be necessary to
suggest that you limit the exami-
nees to those who are new appli-
cants and do not already hold a
state certicfiate. Those holding
conditioned or limited certificates
which expire March l, 1906, and
those holding complete first or
second grade certictiates expiring
on that date should be- advised to
send them to you, and you will
forward all such certificates at one
time to this Office. On your re
commentator they will be either
renewed, or those which cannot be
renewed will be extended and made
valid until September l., 1906. It
is Of course not intended that any
teacher shall be excluded from TAX
ing the examination, but in order to
limit and reduce the cost Of reading
papers and to cause the least inter-
ruption OF schools which are in
session, this plan is suggested.
Please note that the certificates
mentioned in the above extract, are
state .certicfates-those issued bv
the State Dept. and bearing the
signature of the State Supt. ard not
local CERTIFICATES issued by the.
County Superintendent. Local GER
titicates are good only till the next
examination, and those holding
them are required to take these ex.
limitations. You who hold state
CERTIFICATES which expire March III

Blows Out Life in Joke.

Apparently joking with his wife and
fellow boarder up to the last instant OF
his life, Charles Parker OF Beloit, %
years old, blew out his brains and fell a
corpse in the arms of his wife. 1t is said
he had been drinking prior to the shoot
ing.
Parker and his young wife boarded on
Fourth street He came home late and,
after taking rev Oliver from his bureau,
was handling it in so reckless manner
that a friend demonstrated with him,
whereupon Parker said:
"Why are you afraid? | have no inten-
ton of pointing the gun at you. l will
point it at myself and suiting the action
to the word, he placed the muzzle under
his ear, and before his friend or his wife
could grasp his hand there was report,
and Parker fell dead in his wifes arms
He and his wife came to Beloit from
Canada few months ago. His relations
with his wife were the happiest He was
a painter by occupation.

a sister of Mrs. Styles Hakes, one of the
first merchants of Edgerton, and of Mrs
RI. Lawton, one of the early sheriffs of
Rock county. There are a number of
relatives still residing in Albion, the

Beaten by a Single Vote.

August Severson of DeForest was
beaten by one vote for the republican
nomination for the assembly in the east
ern Dane county district, and he thinks
the contest too close to let 60 without a
recount. He will petition the county
court for recount Of the ballots which
are under the primary law preserved for
that purpose. There were so many err
rors and mistakes in voting the new bal
lot that it is hard to tell what the result
might be after the court should pass
upon them There is no doubt but that
a good many ballots were not counted as
defective by the inspectors and where
the result is close recount is not un-
reasonable.
