THAT Il GREAT GOAL

STORY OF HOW a WOMAN WAS
DROWNED WHEN she WAS
Mt NEAR THE. RIVER

Much excitement prevailed and
many theories wer advanced in regard
to a case of supposed suicide which
should have occurred about !" O'Clock
on Thursday afternoon az the mouth OF OF
Coal run The news speedily became
current on both sides OF the river that
an unknown woman Disguised and
closely wrapped in long brown robe
was seen to plunge over the.oank and
into the large sewer which serves as
an outlet Of Coal run into the river.

vert she was never sen again In
stead. however. IL was stated as the
next link in the chain OF testimony
respecting this mysterious incident
was that young man was seen later
to emerge from the mouth OF the sew
e- with a Slzi6 and to pull out across
behind, supposed to be the body OF
the woman which he doubtless inteno-
ed TO deracb on his way over and let
her sink into concealnent beneath
the water until carried away by tn"
current Il was then decided that ne
was in completely with the suicide
and by this method was seeking 70
help her cover up the crime for some
reason. Again it WIS stated. that BE-

A puny voice alongside OF the Ohio

bered that some time ago we asked
Senator Elkins to speak out and let
US know how he stood on certain
propositions. One was the rate bill.
another was the matter OF the Davis

and still another was the tax queS-

CONTRACTOR PAYS
TOWNS FOR DAMAGES
TO HIGHWAYS

John Maresb, the Green Bay con
tractor on the grading for the Manito-
Voc Green Bay extension of the Chicago
& North Western line, paid damages
amounting to $3.50, to the towns of
Kossuth and Franklin in settlement of
cases instituted in the municipal court
by the towns named, the cause of the
actions being alleged damage to certain
highways in the plaintiff towns, caused
by running heavy traction engines over
the roads.
In one of the actions the two towns
were Joint plaintiffs for damage to a
town line road. In this case the claim
was for 5000, but the plaintiffs accepted
$102. so in settlement of the case.
The other case was that in which the
town of Kossuth alone sued the con
tractor for 5000 damages In the settle.
ment of this case the plaintiff town ac-
cepted $3.50.
The settlement of the cases was reach
ed about week ago. Had no agreement
been reached, the cases would have come
up for trial in municipal court last Fri
day or Saturday.

n. s. \. s. CLASS
Of 1906 WILL SPEND
FOUR DAYS At DElLS,

The usual commencement exercises
will be dispenced with at the North
Side high school next June. when a
| class of twelve students will be grad
mated from that institution. In lieu of
the customary commencement program
at the Opera house, the members of the
class, in charge of Prin. Paul Ct. w.
Keller, and accompanied by other
members of the school faculty, will take
a four days trip to the Wisconsin Dells
at Kilbourn, Wis
The party will be joined by the
eleven members of the class of 19O5i-
the midwinter class which graduated st
| the end of the first semester of the year,
in February last.
The plan of abandoning the usual
| commencement program at the Opera
house was adopted last June by Prof
Keller, the graduating class of 1905, In
charge of Prin. Keller, and accompanied
by several other members of the high
school faculty and few others making
II sight seeing trip to Chicago which
trip proved highly enjoyable and in
strnctive to all who participated in that
outing.
But this years trip, if it materializes,
will no doubt prove to be the banner
outing in the history of the North Side
high school, for the trip will combine
genuine pleasure with practical field
work in nature study. The Dells con-
stitnte one of the great natural wonders
of the United States.
The necessary funds to defray the
expenses of the trip will be raised by
presenting class play ut the Opera
house, Arrangements are now being
made for the event. The play will be
produced by senior students during
graduation week or shortly before that
time.
The class day program will be carried
out in the assembly room of the school.
The junior reception and the senior ban
quet will also take place ut the school.

could be found. The search was con-
tinued for weeks.
Morgan was engaged in the lumber
business as travelling salesman. He
was about thirty eight years Of age at
the time he met his death. A wife and
two children survive him.
After the body had been found and
identified as that of Edward j. Morgan,
a message was Immediately sent to
Oshkosh, apprising the dead mans
relatives of the fact that the body had
been recovered.
William r. Hill, the dead mans
brother-in-law, accompanied by j. +.
Morgan, a cousin of the deceased, came
here Saturday evening to take charge
of the body. which they took to Oshkosh
for interment.
The body was but little decomposed,
and no difficulty was had in identifying
it. The night shirt in which the remains
were garbed contained the laundry
initials "E. j. NJ" Morgan had been
known to have an entire set Of gold
crowned teeth; and, when the mouth of
the corpse was examined, these were
found and identified. Moreover, the
body was readily identified by the Van
Dyke beard, as we'll as by other facial
features, etc.
The $50 reward will probably be
claimed by Charles McDowner and John
Smith, who were the first to see the
body.
