miners committees reconvene In that
city the latter will present to the op-

everything reasonable to secure
peaceful settlement. They will not,
however, yield completely On all
points which they have made. Should
the operators reject the new proposi-
ton the miners, 1t is said, will seek

WILL CELEBRATE
SILVER JUBILEE

A grand entertainment is being
prepared in Rudolph, under the direc-
tion of the Sisters, to celebrate the
Silver Jubilee, or the 18th anniversary
of their Rev. PASTORS ordination.
The people are looking forward to it
with pleasure as all former entertain
mentS of the Catholic school have
been great success. This is expected
to eclipse them all, as Silver Jubilee
occurs but once in lifetime.
The leading feature of the program
will be historical drama in three
acts representing the martyrdom of
ST. Catherine of Alexandria, under
the emperor l1aximen. Far more
wonderful than fiction are the historic
facts represented here.
The entertainment will be held two
successive evenings, so as to give all
an opportunity to attend. On one OF
these evenings diplomas will be
awarded to five of the Catholic school
pupils viz: Walter Akey, Louis Akey,
Adeiine Casper, Elizabeth Casper.
and Mary Vadnais, all of whom re-
ceived an average standing ranging
from 81 to 80 per cent.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Since l made my announcement as
a candidate for the Republican nomi.
nation for district attorney, condi.
tions have changed. There are now
three candidates in the field, two
being from this city. Personally
have always felt that the district
attorneyship should be at the county
seat. Viewing the situation at present,
it looks as though neither Of the
candidates from this city may be
nominated. One of US ought to with
draw in order to insure a possible
nomination OF the other. After a
thorough discussion of the matter
with Mr.. jeffrey, haye decided not
to stand any longer as candidate. /
cannot let my own ambition enGanger
party success. must confess that
am ambitious TO hold the office of dis
trict attorney, but for the present
think it wise for the reasons men,
toned to stand back. The candidate
nominated will have my loyal support.
/ hereby release the signers on my
nomination papers, and hope they
will be as loyal to Mr. Jeffery as they
have been to me. To all my friends
who have offered me their support l
give my sincere thanks.

CHANCE TO SPEND MONEY
metropolitan Carnival Company
is Open for Business and At.
tracing Many People.

| The Metropolitan Carnavai company
opened in this city Tuesday evening,
and the people who come will all be
invited to attend their many tent
shows, and play the side games that
are very much in evidence. In fact
these side games consist in throwing
at the niger babies, the washer
woman, ringing the canes, or the
knives, peeking into picture machines,
and throwing the balls into the proper
slot in order to win. The latter
arrangement savorS very decidedly of
the skin games
Zahrah. She, the vaudeville and the
Old Plantation are the shows that
attract the most attention. The
latter consists in negro melodies and
buck dancing, Zahrah of mystifying
tricks of the Slite-of-hand man and
hypnotiSt. "She" of fancy skirt dances
with colored light effects, and the
vaudeville, OF few speclalties. Some
OF the latter features are good, as for
instance the club swinging.
On the whole the attraction is not
of such character as to leave any
lasting benefits to the city. On the
other hand we question the worth of
such aggregationS as beneficial
advertisement for the city, and can
see 40 benefit to the local business
man, in view of the fact that every
thing required by visitors is provided
on the grounds by the Carnival people.
We cannot say that there is any
feature in connection of an elevating
nature, unless it is the Ferris wheel,

SUIT BROUGHT FOR
HALF MILLION
Marshfield Capitalists must
Answer to Suit to Compel
Specific Performance of Con-
tract Under Option.

Probably the largest civil suit ever
brought in this county, if not in the
state of Wisconsin, was begun Thurs
| day. when Kreutzer, Bird & Rosen-
berry, of Wausau, and E. M. Hyzer, of
Milwaukee. served papers for f. II.
johnson. of Rhinelander, on the
Mars field Land and Lumber Co.
and the Upham Manufacturing Co. to,
compel the fulfillment of an option
said to have been given the plaintiff,
by the defendants, to lands owned by
them in Lincoln and Taylor counties
and recently sold to the Copper River
Land Co.. for a consideration of $500.
900.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that in
July 1906 the defendants gave an option
on this property to J. S. Crosby. of
Greenville, Mich, for $500, 900 the term
being for one year. F. HI. Johnson. the
plaintiff, acquired the option and was
gagged in looking over the lands when
the sale to the Copper River Land Co.
was cOnsumated.
The Suits brought to compel Specl-
tic performance of the contract under
the option. The complaint alleges that
tie LANDS are reasonably worth $1,000,
900 and the plaintiff asks either that
they he sold to him al his option
price of S500,00O or tnat The defend
ants be forced to pay him $500, 900, the
difference between his option price
and the alleged value of the proper
ties.

NAME MAY BE TAKEN OFF
Attorney General in Reply to
County Clerks Inquiry Holds
That Name Of Retiring Candi-
date May be Withheld.

The withdraw of Louis A. Bauman
from the contest for the nomination
at the Republican primaries for Dis
trict Attorney, gave raise to the
query as to whether or not the
name would not have to appear on the
ticket, since the nomination papers
and declaration of intention were
fled as required by law. County Clerk
Geo. Davis wrote the Attorney
General regarding the matter, and
his opinion. as indicated in the letter
given below, is to the effect that the
name may be withheld from the
ticket.
The letter addressed to the County
Clerk is as follows:
August II, 1906.
l am in receipt of yours of the 10th
inSt., In which you say that three
candidates for the nomination to the
ofhce OF district attorney on the Re-
publican ticket filed their nomina-
tiOn papers and declaration papers as
required by law; that five days there
oiUOi ouC VI OuC pal UlcS ucClllou 10
run, by filing deciination of nomina-
tion. You ask me whether this
is legal and whether the candi-
dates name should appear on the
official ballot.
Sec. "a of the primary law provides
in the part as follows:
"All the penalties and provisions of
the law as TO such caucuSeS and elec-
tiOnS except as herein otherwise pro-
vided shall apply in such case with
equal force and to the same extent as
though fully set forth in this act,"
and sec. "a of the Wisconsin statutes
of 1898 provides how candidate for
an office may decline and annuI his
nc mination paper, viz, by a written
declination signed by him and ac-
knowledged before some officer au-
thOrized to take acknowledgements"
l think this statute applies with
the exception, perhaps, that the candi-
date must decline before the official
ballots are prepared for the primary.
Yours respectfully

Atty. Gen.

A TRIBUTE

The death of Mrs. Frances Anne
Compton occurred on June IL, at the
residence OF Mrs. Warren A. Fuller,
in Glen Ridge, which had been Mrs.
COmpton'S home for nearly two years.
Her illness lad not been long, and the
end came after several hours of un-
consciousness, following stroke Of
apoplexy. OF her seven children only
the youngest was with her at the
time. Three sons and a daughter
were summoned from Boston and
Chicago, but did not arrived before
their mothers death. The funeral
service was he'd on Saturday, the l4th
DR.. Edward Ray officiating. The
burial took place the following Mon
day in Grand Rapids, Wisconsin,
which was Mrs. Compton's old home
and where she had two daughters and
several grandchildren.
No more beautiful Tribute could be
paid to any one than that expressed
BY the devotion and loving care shown
to Mrs. Compton by her children.
Though all had reached maturity and
had the varied interests OF busy men
and women, their mothers wisdom
and firmness and well-halanced tender
ness alway bound them closely to-
gether, and to her. She was member
of the Glen Ridge Congregational
church, and entered fully into its in.
tereStS. A clear-minded Christian
woman, she lived brave, patient
noble life, loyal to her friends and
and faithful to every duty.
Her entrance into the life beyond
was full Of peace, and though here
the loneliness remains, for her is only
thankfulness. s.-MontecIair Times. Sa

A STORY WITH A MORAL

The following, where a moral is
clearly shown, is taken from an ex.
change: Recently a church congre.
cation in little Kansas town built a
new church. To pay for it they were
obliged to call on the merchants OF
the community for donations. The
merchants responded literally, and
$500 was raised from this source. The
last man asked to subscribe was John
Smith, a jeweler. '"I will give you S2C
if you will let me add something tC
the subscription list, he said. The
permission was accorded him, and he
wrote at the foot of the list:
John Smith, leweler. $1,000
Sears, ROebuck & Co................. COCO
Montgomery, Ward K Co...,......... O00O
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the pul.
pit the list of donors to the building
fund, and since the dedication of the
church, there have been no mail orders
sent out from that Kansas tOwn.-St
