I1waco Spring Water has been
put on the market at the extremely
low price of five-cents gallon for
a few months only in order to in
troduce it. The price will be raised
in the fall. Many are taking adj
vantage of this opportunity in Riv-
er Falls and elsewhere.
If high class goods in all the lat
est designs are to receive their pro-
per attention from prospective buy
ers, and when prices are where one
can easily reach, it is to your own
interest to drop in at Rasmussen S
and see the carpets and rugs. He
has the goods in stock.
Senator Spooner, it seems, is the
only friend La Toilette has on the
Republican side in the Senate. The
most of the Senators take delight
in snubbing him. When he made
his great (long) speech on the rate
bill he had al first an audience Of
13, not an inspiring number to the
superstitious, but he delivered the
greater part of his speech to alb.
sent seats" AS the rate bill was
under consideration last week anc
the first of this Senator La Toilette
offered numerous amendments, al
of which were promptly tabled. Or
several occasions a motion was
made to table. his amendment be
fore he had finished reading it. i
was then that Senator Spooner pro
tested against such discourtesy anc
demanded fair treatment for his
colleague.

The District Declomatory Contest,

The District Dec1amatory Con-
test, held in the M. E. church Fri
day evening, was an entertainment
of pleasing interest. Eight girls and
one boy participated in the speak
ing and all acquitted themselves
we'll. All were good speakers. A
half dozen were excellent. Many of
these speakers will compare favor
ably with the professional readers
who go about giving public recita-
tions. The contrast in the charac-
ter of the selections is quite notice
able. The mostof the pieces spoken
were of high grade but there were
several that are comparatively sim
pie, pieces that require little abili-
ty and little training to develop all
there is in them. Yet those who
have these simpler pieces are most
liable to be marked the highest, be-
cause it is not possible to make so
many mistakes.
These young speakers represent
nine different high schools in this
district, which comprises five
leagues and about thirty schools.
Four hundred pupils and citizens
listened to the speakers, applaud
ing literally and impartially, and
waited through the long minutes
while the judges were preparing
their decision, to be more or less
disappointed when the decision was
handed in. However, they accept
ed the decision gracefully, cheered
the winner heartily, and said their
good words also for the losers.
The markings of the judges show
that the winners of the first five
places were very near together, the
other four also being very close to-
gether, but we'll separated from the
hrSt i've.
The musical features"were pleas
ing and furnished by the local high
school except that Professor Fetch
er of the Normal sang a solo. Neil
Reed played piano solo as pre-
Jude and the Girls G1ee Club and
the High School Chorus furnished
interludes. After the contest the
local high school rendered a recep-
ton to the visitors in the parlors
of the church, the parlors and tables
being tastefully decorated in the
colors of the various schools.
Following is the marking of the
judges

The Circuit Court convened at IL
o'clock a. m. Monday, called to or
der by Judge Helms. Nearly all of
the Pierce, county attorneys were
present and new name was added
to the list, that of George Skogmo.
At the opening of the court it was
suggested that as during the past
year two prominent members of the
bar, J. S. White and ]. w. Han
cock, had died, proper notice should
be taken. Judge Helms set apart
Monday afternoon, May FL, as a
time at which memorial addresses
would be given by A. Combacker,
relating to ]. S. White and w. c..
Owen in memory of Mr.. Hancock.
The first case on the calendar
was that of the State of Wisconsin
VS.. Frank Hurst, George Thomp-
son and F. M. White appearing for
the State and w. F. McNally for
the defendant. A jury was secured
a little before O'Clock p. N. Mon
day, the panel of jurors summoned
being nearly exhausted before the
necessary twelve were obtained.
The work on the new court house
is proceeding favorably, nearly all
the door and window trim is in
place and but few doors remain
to be hung. Work has been begun
in laying the wooden part of THE
floors and this will soon be finished.
1t is expected that the painters will
begin the finishing work within a
week or two. The appearances
now are that the county officers will
take their new rooms the latter
part of June or early in July.

Joint Teachers Association.

A joint association of the teach
| ers in Pierce and ST. Croix counties
was held in the Normal Assembly
room on Saturday of last week and
about one hundred teachers and
students were in attendance. The
program had been prepared by
Supt. Weldon, of Pierce and Supt.
Aune, of ST. Croix. Pres. Brier act
ed as chairman of the meeting.
Supt. Aune opened the exercises
with brief talk on the condition of
the schools in his county and called
attention to places where improve
ment might be made. Miss Peck
ham then gave a class exercise in
Reading with class of children
from the first grade in her depart
ment. The exercise was followed
by discussion of its most impor-
tant features led by Miss Sbultes
and followed by Miss Rudd, Mr..
Hodge, Mr.. Barnett, Mr.. Murphy,
Miss Johnson and others.
Supt. Hennessey of the Hudson
city schools spoke on the Relation
of Rural and Graded schools to the
High School. In the course of his
remarks he stated that the rural
school pupils were less proficient in
language than in other subjects.
The discussion along this line was
continued by Mr.. w. d. Parker, who
called attention to the fact that fa-
cility in the use of language is of
slow growth at best and that asso-
citation with people who wisely use
the blue pencil to eliminate errors
and irrelevants may accomplish
something, in the course of time.
The afternoon session was open
ed by piano duet by Miss Sophy
Shultes and Miss Myrtes Clark.
Supt. Weldon then presented the
subject, Cooperation of Teachers,
School Boards and County Superin-
tendent," in which he emphasized
the Importance of harmonious rela-
tions and the effort to come to a
satisfactory understanding among
school officials. He also spoke of
the Importance of Normal training
and attendance at the annual insti-
tute. His presentation was dis
cussed by President Brier who ex-
pressed the opinion that as mem
bers of school boards are busy men
who receive little or nothing but
complaint for their services it can
not be expected that they will give
very much attention to the actual
work done in the school room, and
as the County Superintendent can
not visit the school more than once
or twice year the teacher can Elk.
pect little assistance in her work.
Prof. H. L. Wilson gave talk on
Literature in Rural and Graded
schools in which he made a plea for
the cultivation of the moral and aes-
thetic sentiments, urging that our
school work is too much given to
matters of intellectual training and
that the emotions are neglected.
The discussion was continued by
Prof. Clark and Prof. Fletcher, the
former urging the Importance, in
teaching reading and literature of
beginning with material that is east
ly within the comprehension of the
child.

Bi-Monthly DiUorce Me-
LANCE Opens at the Court
h0uses-Forty Odd Cases
of Uoe Occupy Judges
Attention.

The bi-monthly divorce matinee
at the court house had made little
progress up to noon today. Of the
40 odd cases on the dockets of the
two departments, only half a doz-
en- had been reached by noon, and
of these two were hung up for fu-
ture argument and investigation.
In Judge Poindexter's court was
dire distress and many mutterings
of discomfort, arising out of the
long drawn out work entailed by
the very first case on the docket,
which held the attention of the
court up to 1880 o'clock.
The case presented unusual feat
ures aside from that of it's unusual
length for default case. Arthur
F. Tero, a commercial traveller,
was suing for a divorce from his
wife, Alfredo, and the chief founda-
ton of his case rested upon the
contents Of an alleged diary, said
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-01-26

to have been kept by the woman.
At the outset the proposition that a
wife should enter record of her al
legged misdoings and leave it behind
for the inspection of her husband
after the separation was something
to attract the attention of Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, acting
on behalf of the state. Spectators
in the court room also considered
1t queer that diary should be writ
ten on what appeared to be detach-
er sheets Of paper. The husband
found this in a room in Toronto
which had been occupied by the
couple.
lnasmucb as the pair were we'd
ded in Butte, Mont, it was con-
sidered for moment that the
diary might have been something
on the order of Mary McLane. 1t
told Of the desire of the writer for
excitement, for the company Of
men other than her husband, of

he met her for the first time since
she had grown to womanhood.
The second ring was a large
sapphire set in Roman gold, and
was the engagement symbol of the
prospective groom's grandmother.
and a revered relic in his family.
Mr.. Longworth, who Is showing al
most oriental generosity towards
his fiancee, purchased for Christ
mas souvenir ring with three glo-
rious pigeon blood rubies surrounds
ed by diamonds. Thus Miss Alice
may be said to have become be-
trothed with one diamond necklace
and three beautiful rings.
Mrs. Longworth gave her sons
sweetheart jeweled belt buckle,
and she has received some hand
some gold ornaments from his sis
ter, the Marquise de Chambrun,
and from his aunt, Mrs. Bellamy
Storer, wife of the American am
bassador to Vienna.

her appetite for sparkling wine, etc.
1t also related how she had on one
occasion gone to Port Huron, Ont,
with one McKinnon.
UP to the time Of the cross-ex-
animation few considered but that
the defendant was now in Toronto,
but 1t developed that the plaintiff
did not know but that she was liv-
ing in his own house on Hamilton
street in this city. The pair once
lived on a ranch at Liberty lake,
and parts of the diary related
to things there.
Plaintiffs counsel argued that if
the diary did not establish actual
adultery it certainly gave evidence
that the mind of the defendant was
of a charac ter tending toward the
adulterous. The court took the
voluminous letters and the diary
under Amusement, to which will be
added letters tending to establish
that it was the defendant who
wrote the diary.
In determining to hear further
argument as to the drunkenness Of
Will Page, Judge Huneke, by i'm
plication at least, settled the ques-
ton that people may marry on $14
per week. Mrs. Grace Page told a
story of non-support, of the receipt
of necessaries from her parents
and other relatives, of her hus-
bands appetite for liquor. She said
he received s14 a week and that
she saw little or none of it. Judge
Huneke set the 30th for argument
on the point of drunkenness.
