SOME MORE NEW WOMEN QUESTIONS.

debate as to whether women are failures in business has rather innocently started and 1t has gone further than anyone expected.
 Failures? With the streets of business sec tions swarming with women?
 It was bold proposition
 Two choruses have arisen. One shouts that women are not merely indispensable in business but that they are mastering departments of mod ern labor and enterprise. The $10.000 a year woman private secretary is pointed out with pride.
 The other chorus cries that women are not to be depended upon: that any department store or manufacturing place-any place where large numbers of women as well as men are employed will offer proof that the women are more to be complained of harder to train, harder to keep after they ara. trained. than mem fn

THE SUMMER RUSH TO SCHOOL.

Within the past few weeks New York has witnessed the novel spectacle of children by the thousands scrambling for the privilege of going to school. It Is vacation time and they don't have to 90. but 25 900 voluntarily have sought and se- cured admission to the summer schools.
 But here's the point-these are not schools like the winter sort These schools mean mostly play. though the schoolhouses are brought into use In each of 3i schools which have been opened for the summer there are two sessions c day.
 One of the rules of the summer school Is that the boy or girl vho applies shah be scrubbed scrupuiousiy clean There is marching and sing ing. with a great deal of My Country 'Tis of Thee and the Star Spaneied Banner
 In the open air plsygrounds there Is basket ball. work tor playD on the horizontal bar jump girls sew: the boys practice vood-vorkfng are not obligatory. but they may be had and thou liar feature of the system provides that children the legal age of l4 may by putting in ertra days , get their employment certificates ahead of time

The continued rise in the price of ice has frightened New York. There Is no real ice famine as yet, but the heated term is scarcely more than half over and the likelihood that prices will rise higher has in certain quarters created real terror. . Last winter the so-called ice trust harvested less than It's usual supply. This natural supply is supplanted by machine made ice, but for some reason this artificial ice represents only Ave per cent. of the summers supply. There were 544,300 tons of ice available for New York month ago. This supply. if the present heat prevails any con. siderable proportion of the time will disappear by September 10 or 15.
 Last year ice cost 30 cents per hundred for small consumers. TX cents for large consumers. This year small consumers are paying 40 cents and large consumers 35 cents-an increase of B 1-3 per cent for the household and of 100 per cent. for the large consumer.
 Naturally there are loud walls.
 The ice trust says 1t is very sorry. The pr that he raised the price so that the poor sick b ice before the summer is over
 Somehow this explanation did not seem to ex
 Ice funds are numerous and the poor are bein stations.
 Why. if New Yorks very life is threatened by who have the opportunity build ice plants that W mand? Why is big city without so necessary { swered this question.

NEW YORK.--Each time New York has . sensational murder case on its hands 1t appears that morbid sentimentality has gone the limit. The Thaw case Is no exception.
 Of course 1t Is indispensable to really first class murder sensation that it should include a pretty woman. The imperative demand in this particular was never more completely met than in the Thaw case. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is one of the prettiest women who ever came into public notoriety. The photographers the painters and the stage managers all found that young Mrs. Thaw was beautiful. Charles Dana Gibson has her in his gallery of American beauties.
 And so the papers are full of pictures of Mrs. Thaw. Her beauty is one of the natural assets of the defense Whether the defense of insanity is or is not.advanced in hope of having rich young reprnhate,s life Mrs. ThaW will be a great help.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.

1t is hard enough to keep telephone
lines in good order for public use when
companies have only the elements with
which to contend, but when poor,
miserable, Sneaking human beings take
it into their heads to make trouble,
there is nothing to do but to follow
them up and see that they are placed
where they belong-behind prison bars.
Last Thursday night, Mr. Zimmerman,
who lives in the town of Harrison, had
sickness in his family and drove to
Sunrise to telephone to Wausau for a
DOCTOR The line was out of order so
he drove to Sunset and it also failed to
work from there, so he had to drive
clear i'll to Wausau. The line failed to
work on Friday and as soon as MIR.
Crawford manager of the Wausau Tel
ephone Co. could get away, he drove
out over the line, thinking perhaps the
electrical storms had put the line out of
service. At Glasels place he found
that wire had been bent and placed
over the telephone wires so that it
short-circuited them and put them out
of use. This was dastardly thing for
any one to do, and if the one who did
it is found out it will go hard with him.
Certain clues are being worked upon
and perhaps the guilty one can be
brought to justice.

wiIIfan, Jennfugs Bryan

William Jennings Bryan is now the
most talked of of any man in America.
The democrats, today, are practically
united on him as the democratic candi-
date for the presidency in 1908. David
4. Frances started the ball rolling at
Jefferson City, Mo-, at the democratic
state convention on June Gin. MIR.
Frances, former governor Of Missouri,
cabinet minister of Grover Cleveland
and leader in the very conservative
element of the party, nominated Mr..
Bryan for the presidency and said that
the nation demanded that he be the
next president The speech has been
the talk of the country since it was
made and Mr.. Bryan has been going
up, up, up, as the peoples candidate
for the presidency until there is no
mention of anyone else. 1t is now a
foregone conclusion that w. j. Bryan,
if he lives, will be the democratic candi-
date for presidency in 1908. In Wis
consin Mr.. Bryan is fast gaining
ground. w. F. Villas and Ed Wall
have both come out very emphatically
for him and there is no doubt but what
| the democratic platform convention,
which meets in Milwaukee on the 9th,
will pass resolutions endorsing his
candidacy. The money power defeated
Bryan in 1896 and 1900. That power,
at the next national election will be
| harmless on account of the stringent
| Laws being passed, which are opening
| prison doors for all who attempt tC
thus Illustrate the will of the people
| William Jennings Bryan will be the
| next president of the United States.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS.

The frame work for the round house
being built by the Northwestern Ry.
Co. south of the town line road, is up
and the roof is being put on. The
structure is a very large one Is is
built in the form of "a semi.circle and is
about $50 feet in length. II is every
substantial affair, the timbers, even to
the roof planks, being very heavy and
braced with heavy iron. A turn table
is also being constructed and there are
also several other excavations, made
apparently for other buildings. When
we say apparently, we mean that most
of the work jdst begun must be guessed
at by the general public, for the rail
road company's Representatives and
the contractors doing the work are
cloSe-mouthed as to operations. A vast
deal of surfaced building rock is piled
on the grounds, also concrete, indicat-
ing that other building operations,
other than round house are in contem-
platiOn. Five long switches have been
laid parallel with the main track. which
will give She company plenty of room
to make up trains and set out cars
Quite lot of land has been acquired
by the company in that vicinity giving
it room to spread out, and an opportun-
ity to build repair shops if such an inn
proyement is contemplated. The
ground is perfectly level, with the ex-
ception of the southwest portion,
which slopes down to one of the bayous
of the Eau Claire river. An outside
concern of contractors has charge of
the work being done.

DROWNED IN RIVER.

Shortly after four O'clock Friday af-
ternoon Carl Lund, son of BIr. and Mrs
Christ Lund, who reside at No. 914
Grand Ave, was drowned in the Wis
conse. In company with four other
boys of about his own age, Eberhard
Boiler, Fred Genrich. Jr.. Johnnie
Staege and Edwin Miller he went in
bathing back of the Lund place The
boys entered the river at the mead OF an
island where the water is usually low.
Since the recent rains the river has
been swollen and on Friday the water
at the point mentined was quite deep
and swift. Shortly after going into the
water young Lund was observed by
his companions to be struggling aud he
tried TO catch hold of the Boiler boy TO
save himself. He was carried down
stream and his companions could give
him no assistance. After struggling a
short time he sank from view and was
not seen again. The boys that had ac-
companied him to the river at once
| dressed themselves and notified the
parents OF the dead boy A search was
| at once instituted for the remains The
| place where the boy was last seen was
| dragged and though the searchers
worked long into the night, their efforts
were fruitless. Early Saturday morn
| ing the search was again taken up and
another day exhaustive efforts brought
no results. On Sunday another large
| party went out and Searched, gasoline
launches and other craft were used and
| though parties went down both sides of
the river nearly to Mosinee, they could
| not find the body.
| The blow was very sad one to the
parents and friends of the family The
boy was nine years of age and gener-
al favorite among companions and
| teacher. He was bright for one of his
years and had just completed a years
work in the city schools and had been
promoted to higher grade. He was
to have taken part in the chiIdren's day
program at the Presbyterian church
| Sunday, and had been assigned a place,
The search will be kept up until the
remains are found though it is not like
| ly they will be discovered until the time
has elapsed when dead bodies rise to the
| surface of the water which is nine days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lund have the SYM
pathy of the community in this, their
dark hour of affection Their son rests
in the bed of the river, but where no
one knows and this makes their cup of
