About the goods he has to sell,

Election is over and the fellows of
the press are flying to cover.
The Budget this week is amusing
tanner than last week-but inclined to
try its case in the papers. It can do so
the News will donothing of the kind.
December will come along pretty soon
and the public will know the facts
both in the criminal and civil action.
The Journal lets its friend down very
tenderly. 1t has him fastening to
Bruce without being arrested when as
a matter of fact he went there with
Marshal Quiggle.
The Budget says that no enc but the
coroner can arrest a sheriff probably
got the information from the same law
yer who made out the bond that was SO
defective that it wouldn't stand.
The Journal gives the impression
that d w. Fritz signature on the bond
ws~qot sufficient. This is rank in
justice to Mr.. Fritz. There was no
objection to Mr.. Fritz. On the con-
trary, he was very, decidedly accept
able. The trouble was that the bond
was not properly made cut. That is
all.
The Budget says that True was not
arrested. Maybe being told that the
officer has a warrant for him WASH t
sufficient. Really amusing.
Both papers carefully avoid tha fact
that George B. Goocher was party
to the action for criminal libel against
him. Both are having a hard time
keeping away from the facts.

Lady smith Makes a Start Along Cor

The preliminary steps for the estab-

favor progressive action on-always of a

safe to say that those improvements

be made. Whatever the expense under
ordinary circumstances, these things
will repay their cost and prove an in

SHERIFF is Arrested SEWERS TO prevail
H. w. True Bound Over to the Cir
cult Court for Criminal
Libel.

On Tuesday Sheriff H. W. True,
owner of the Weekly Budget, was ar
rested on charge of criminal libel
The complaint was made by the edi-
tor of the News and the warrant was
issued by Justice Carnachan at Bruce.
The article complained Of was q
vicious one bearing resemblance to p
harangue of McGill's last fall. 1t was
in the. first issue of the Budget under
True's management. Mr. True had
never been treated unkindiy or unfairly
by the News hence the article was
entirely uncalled for upon any basis or
theory.
Another feature Of the case, included
in the action, is the libel on George B.
Goocher in connection with the Gem
etery matter.
MIR. True was arrested by Marshal
Quiggle Tuesday afternoon and appear
ed at Bruce Tuesday evening with q
bond in the. amount Of $1,000, waived
examination and was bound over to the,
next term Of the circuit court.

Will Be Governor for Another Two
Years Per Vox
Populi

The people Of the state have spoken
in no uncertain tone on the governor
ship.
Apparently Governor David5on's per-
sonality was the deciding feature. The
opposition made an active and aggres-
sive campaign, but Davidson woa. The
opposition had the power Of Senator
LA Follette's impressiveness, yet Dav-
| ilson carried all but four counties.
1t was a contest within the party
which often causes weakness, but in
this instance Lenroot's friends will
doubtless follow his example and bid
Godspeed to the Davidson reign.
Governor Davidson has made a grand
record and the News believes that his
administration will be an honor to the
state.
It behooves all republicans to lay
aside all pre-prinary prejudices and
come up solidly for the election Of
Governor Davidson.
The News believes that all Lenroot
supporters will vie with Davidson sup
porters in rolling up an unprecedented
victory on November 9Th.

Tneodore M. Thomas is the winner
in the assembly contest. In 50 winning
he has demonstrated that he is man
of action and judgement. His campaign
was clean. He limited his efforts to
legitimate channels and his statements
to the truth. He met every issue, call
ed down every misrepresentation, treat
ed every point raised with candor and
won out. That tells the story in one
short paragraph.
AS it is evident that tha nomination
means election, it is we'll for the people
Of the district to begin giving attention
to the things their assemolyman should
work for in the next session of the
legislature. What we want is effective
representation and we may rest as

before It. We are at the starting point

AS TO The TAX HEARING
Citv Officials Went To Madison We'd
nesday to Be IN Atten-
dance

Mayor johnson, City Atty. Thomas
and Clerk Williams have gone to Madi
son to attend the preliminary hearing
by the state tax commission on the
petition of O. E. Peterson for re-
assessment of property in the city OF
Ladysmith The petition cites in par
ticular the assessment Of the paper
mill and appurtenant property upon
which the petitioner alleges that the
assessment is several hundrek thousand
dollars less than it ought to be.
This has followed the injunction pro-
ceedings secured by Mr.. Peterson in
which the city was stopped from re-
mitting any portion of the paper mill
taxes upon the present assessment
which remittance would have amounted
to about $1,000.
Mr.. Peterson alleges that the value
of the paper mill property is in excess
of S400, 900.
Upon the merits of the case only
those who are familiar with paper mill
properties or who have given careful
investigation will be in position to pass
Judgment. The News possesses neither
this information nor time to gather it.
1t is evident upon the face of the
situation that there is strained feel
ing between Mr.. Peterson and the
manager of the paper company and
that doubtless is an element in the
case -4and if so, an undesirable and
regretable one. Assessments should
be remote from personal feelings.

she found herself in the prison, was

value of Pain Water.

The value OF rain water. The plrest
water met with under ordinary Cir
cumstances is rain water, which is Ger
tainly great luxury to those in
towns for washing. If it were fully
appreciated now valuable rain water
really is, the Gwellers in our large
towns would see that it was not al
ways lost. It is free from the hard
ness which characterizes spring water,
feels soft to the hands, forms a beau
tiful lather, and agrees well with the
skin.

The Bruce Newsletter, edited by
Candidate Briggs, says that some of
the friends Of Thomas gave out the
impression that he Briggs had been
in the STATE not more than year
while he had always lived in the state.
This is the merest fiction upon the
part of Mr.. Briggs. The friends of
Thomas never did anything Of the kind.
The friends of Thomas did give out
that Briggs had been in RUSK COUN-
TY less than a year, which is, was and
for some time yet will be, consistent
with the facts. In fact Thomas cam
paign was as clean and consistent as it
was successful.
Frank Munroe complains of the treat
ment received from the News. The
News said that he was a good and
efficient officer and that She had kept
the records well. In reply to the
Journals statement that O. A. Sergent
was of short residence we made a
comparison between the time he had
been here and the time Munroe had
been in the county at the time of TAX
ing office. It appears that we over
stated the case by a small fraction, we
didn't count weeks or days months
and years ought to be close enough.

A good way to turn even hens on
table linen, ready for hand sewing, is
to put the hemlner attachment on the
sewing machine and run the linen
through, without any thread on the
machine. This turns straight hem

back when overland hemming is
done; the orthodox hemming for table

Through Switzerland In Auto.

ri once made a tour of Switzerland
on my BICYCLE" said an artist. 1T
was a most interesting tour.
"In n canton if you frightened a
horse the driver could compel you
not only to dismount but to hide your
machine as well. You would have to
gather it up in your arms and run for
the nearest bush or rock.
"On some of the long ascents
horses lowed French and German
wheelmen up. A rope thirty or forty
feet long would be attached to the
horses traces and to this rope a half
dozen tourists would fasten their ma
chimes. The horse would set off, the
men would mount and up the hill the
procession would move slowly. Some
times the horse stopped suddenly;
then everybody, with an oath, had to
dismount. An odd sight"

either in or our Of Malaga. This tree
was in my compound and the native
servants were so frightened of it that
they wouldn't sleep in the house. My

ty-six distinct devils to me and said
that they were bad devils, for they
had given Pakiri the stomach ache
and made his legs wabbly AMI it vas

believed that ~sGi.its, and very evil
ones, too, had Gat into Pakirt's head,
but l fancy they were made IN Ger

lars a dozen quarts.
"Still that tree was a fruitful source
Of annoyance, for it used to drown
folk on the beach and the servants
wouldn't pass under it at night. Any
thing dead that happened to be float
ing by appeared to want to come ashore
just there and roost in that particular
tree and the result was that I was

bottles of glass have been discovered
III great numbers in the tombs of
wealthy ladies of Egypt. Many bot

Pompeii. The most common bottle
of the ancients, however, was of leath-

Oysters as a Nerve Cure.

Over in France, says What to Eat,
there has been discovered what is
called the oyster cure for nervousness.
1t consists in eating all the oysters
q person can consume to the exclu-
sion of other foods until the cure is
effected. The theory is that in nerv-
ous disorders an excessive amount of
PHOSPHORUS is eliminated from the
system. This loss can be compensat-
ed by taking food containing a large
amount of PHOSPHORUS. 1t is said a
patient taking this cure can eat oys-
ters fresh from the sea at the rate of
about six dozen a day.

kubus Of Sumatra Never Talk With

There is a very singular race of
people in Sumatra, the Kubus, who
are too timorous and shy to mix with
the other races Of the island, and
dwell in the recesses of the forests.
They are looked on as, interiors by
the Malays, and thought to be little
better than beasts. Such is their shy
ness that they will willingly
face a stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans is
consequently carried on in a strange
manner The trader his
arrival by beating a gong, and he then
retires. The Kubus approach, put their
forest treasures on the ground, beat
a gong, and retreat.
The trader returns, and lays his
commodities down in quantities suf1-
cient, as he thinks, for the purchase
of the goods on sale. Then he ~retires,
and the Kubus reappear and consider

And so, after more withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re-

pigs they can slay. They are skilful

SLEEP REQUIRED By CHILDREN
Ten Hours Necessary for the Growing

Ten Hours Necessary for the Growing
Youngsters.
Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a
child upon awakening in the morning
from a healthful sleep in a bad humor
needed a spanking. He thought it
very beneficial, promoting a good cir
culation of the blood; but he added
that a child who was unreasonable
and willful after a busy day was SIM
ply tired and should be put to bed.
Nature is the genuine healer and
sleep the true restorer of all our pow
ers. Parents who realize this can
save themselves many anxious mo-
ments, many heartaches, many doctor
bills and establish habits of regular
living that will bring forth good re-
suits through a long line of offspring
and generations to come. Every child
requires at least ten hours Of sleep,
and it is a good practice for him to
continue sleeping the full ten hours
all through the school life. Work
would thus be rendered easier, health
would be better and youthfulness pro-
longed; many nervous tendencies and
diseases would be wiped out and
clearer, brighter mentality would be
