finished on the edges with three or four
rows Of stitching. The V-shaped neeks

TO ENLARGE SCHOOL.

The board of education, at meeting
of the council last tuesday night, pre-
sented plans for an eight room addi
ton to the Franklin school, and asked
for an appropriation of $29, 900 to com
plete the same The board presented
data showing the rapid growth of the
schools and the imperative necessity OF
additional school room. The records
show that the high school enrolment
has increased from 274 in 1900 to Alb in
1906, and prospects for nextOyear are
that the enrolment in the high school
will exceed 500. This will make il
necessary to use for the high school
some rooms in the high school building
now being used for the grades.
1t was stated that while the board is
now renting three unsuitable buildings
for school purposes, we still have about
one hundred children who are only able
to go to school on the half daily plan
and the prospects are that without this
proposed addition we should have three
hundred children who could be accom-
odated with only half days schooling
each day.
AT the adjourned meeting of the
council Thursday night the board OF
public works was authorized to pur-
chase the lot adjoining the Franklin
school on the west, and the council will
without doubt at its next meeting grant
an appropriation necessary to build

SAVED THE BALLOTS.

Ballots cast at the last election were
in most instances strung on a wire,
placed in canvas bag, sealed and
delivered to the county clerk, to be
preserved sixty days after election.
This was a new provision of the cleo
ton laws. According to the law the
inspector must supply canvas bag for
the ballots and because the matter was
called to the attention of the local
authorities only just before election it
was not observed in all cases Before
the fall election, the county clerk must
secure the necessary bags and supply
all towns. In the Sec nd ward in this
city, after the ballots had been counted
they were burned, as had been custom
ary. The election board claimed it
had destroyed the ballots without
the ught of the new law. If there had
been close contest, trouble might
have resulted, but as every democratic
candidate had so big a lead in that
ward and the republican candidates for
city offices were elected, the action of
the board is not criticised.
When it comes to the state and county
election next fall the law must be OBJ
served in every voting precinct in the
state. By that time the people, it is
hoped, will be educated along the lines
of the new law 1t is a good law and
should have been in force years ago.
By its observance it is easy to settle
contests and complaints OF fraud

REPUBLICANS WIN.

On Tuesday last the municipal cleo
ton was held in this city. For time,
early in the morning, the weather was
intensely democratic-windy, cloudy,
some rain fell, and the democrats
turned out in force, the spirits of the
republicans accordingly were down be-
low normal and the democrats were
out in force. Later, there was a clear
irg up, and the spring sunshine and
balmy breezes from the south had the
desired effect of bringing out, from their
alternating places, every member of
the g. o. p. in this locality and the
result was a defeat for the democrats
1t was very quiet, orderly election.
There were some surprises on both
sides Down in the First ward, which
has always been considered strongly
democratic, republican majority was
given. Up in the eighth, where the re-
publicans are in the habit of burying
their opponents so deep under an ava
lanche of ballots, that it requires sever
al days after election for them to dig
out, the democrats won.
r. E. Powers was defeated by pol
votes and the balance of the demo-
cratic ticket went with him. Two
supervisors of the nine and six alder
men out of the eighteen were elected
by the democrats The following is
the result:

LEAVES THE ROAD.

engineer of the st. Paul road, has
decided to give up the road on account
of i'll health. He will sell his property
in Tomah and with his daughter,
Georgia, will go to Arlee, Mont, to
make his home with another daughter.
He hopes the western climate will bene-
fit his health. Uncle" johns many
friends along the Valley division will
join him in his hope.-Grand Rapids

MIR. Little is known to every Wausau
person who ever travelled to any extent
on the Valley division of the st. Paul
road. He has been a ICON" on this
division for so long that we forget the
date when he run the first "choo-choo'

delayed his train, his disposition was
always like that of the fellow whose
name was used to advertise Force
breakfast food, and he will be greatly
missed by the travelling public.

WILL BEGIN EXPLORATIONS.

w. j. Robinson, of Neillsville, who is
promoting the mining interests on the
old Kolter property, has crew of men
at work setting up diamond drills and
other machinery and the work of ex-
ploration will begin ct once. If this
work develops the fact that iron abounds
in sufficient quantities to pay for the
working of the mine, large crew of
expert miners and other laborers will
be employed and the work of develop
ment pushed Should the prospects be
favorable, Kolter hill will be busy
scene of operations the coming summer.
Mr.. Robinson states that he is backed
by plenty of capital and there win be
no lack of funds to push the enterprise.
Already considerable expense has been
incurred in securing and filing options
on lands in that vicinity and there will
be no let up until it is fully determined
whether or not iron in paying quanti-
ties exists in that locality. Mr.. Robin
son has the utmost faith that it does.
