HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Wallsau O-Antioo q


The game Saturday resulted in tie.
although couple of times Wausau
nearly scored The game was rather
slow, on account of the hot day and the
disputes over the rules. Wausau used
the forward pass to good advantage
and made few large gains with it,
Norman got Wausau out of some tight
places by kicking some long punts.
First half,-Jones won the toss and
Wausau kicked to Amigo The ball
was in Amigos territory most of the
half and only once did the ball get past
Wausau's forty yard line. Near the
end of the half Wausau had the ball in
side of Amigos five yard line. but was
not able to make it in three downs.
Amigo punted the ball out of danger.
Second half-Antigo kicked off to
Wausau and Jones got the ball. In
this half neither goal was in danger
and the play was mostly in the center
of the field. Wansau did some good
work in returning punts.
The line ND was:

PLAN A BIG SHOW.
Semi Centennial sDoings For the
State of Minnesota.

st. Paul, Jan. 9-Mlnnesota pro-
posed semi centennial will be discussed
at two important sonferences this week.
With the legislative session opening
Tuesday, plans for the big exposition of
1908 will have to be formulated in time
to be presented during the session.
The committee appointed by the gov
ernor last year will meet with repre-
, sentatives of the Commercial clubs and
other civic bodies of the twin cities,
probably Tuesday, and it is expected
that conference with the board of
state fair managers will be held later in
the week, probably Tuesday. Represen-
tative j. T. Mannix is chairman of the
committee, and the other members are
DR.. C. HI. Kohler of Minneapolis, Mayor
McCollum of Duluth, F. B. Lynch of st.
Paul and Captain C. c. Whitney of
Marshall
Partial plans for the commemoration
exercises and eXpositions have already
week it is planned to find out what sup
port the civic bodies of the big cities
will give and what suggestions will be
made by business men and organizations
, as to the features of the affair.
The plan of cooperation with the state
fair board is commended by many of
\
those who have interested themselves in
the celebration. An exposition upon the
fair grounds, enlarged by the addition
, of many special features and pageants,
is believed to be one of the best ways
to observe the passing of the semi
tennial.
The legislature will be asked for a
substantial appropriation, and the COM
| mittee intends to have its plans fully
worked out before any consideration is
| asked from the legislature.

Gilbert Cuttersen to Try Nomination
Two Years Hence.

from saturday Daliy.
Washington Special to The st. Paul
Dispatch: Gilbert Guttersen of Lake
Crystal is spending few days here and
upon announcement being made that he
will sail for Europe in April, story
was started that he was to receive an
important appointment in the diplomatic
service. Mr.. Gutersen said today that,
while he is going abroad in the spring,
it will be in the capacity of private
citizen. He will take his family with
him.
When asked as to his future plans
with reference to matters political in
the second district of Minnesota, MIR.
Guttersen said that he intended to again
run for congress, in response to the
pledges and promises of support he has
received from many republicans, since
the last election.
Congressman McCleary, in an inter-
view the other day here, also intimated
that he would run again, so there is a
prospect of the fight of last fall being
repeated.

CHANGES TAKE EFFECT
New County Officials Assume Their
Offices.

From Mondays Daily.
A change in several of the county Of
fees took place last night at the hour
of midnight. John w. Donahue succeed
ed Bennett Williams as sheriff of the
county, and Walter A. Plymat succeed
ed S. B. Wilson as county attorney. d.
P. Young succeeded w. w. Paddock as
member of the county board.
Sheriff Donahue and Tailor Eli
Klughertz and family moved into the
Jail today, ex-Sheriff Williams taking
the last of his goods out this morning.
Mr.. Williams will continue to reside in
Mankato, but has not decided what to
engage in.
A word of COMMUNICATION is due the re-
firing officials. Sheriff Williams made a
very conscientious and faithful official,
and was successful above the average
in tracing criminals Perhaps the crown
ing feature of his work in this line was
the capture and return of A. A. Buck,
who had sought refuge in the Isle of
Pines.
Mr.. Wilson is the only county attor-
ney that the county has ever had who
has served six years. He has been sue
cessful prosecutor, and a good and con-
scientious advisor of the county board.
Very few prisoners who were apprehend-
ed upon complaints issued by him have
escaped punishment. He has exercised
care in drawing papers as well as being
forceful in court.
Mr.. Paddock has served the county
long and faithfully as member of the
county board, giving to the discharge of
the duties of his office his best judg-
ment and ability. Much has been secured
for Mankato during this time, not that
the city was not entitled to it, but that
where only one of the five members is
from the city it is sometimes difficult to
make the other four members see the
business of claim.
Senator S. D. Works succeeds A. O..
Eberhart, who becomes lieutenant gov
ernor, and William Mcqueen takes the
place of Mic Juliar in the house. Both
are good men and will be credit to
the county, without doubt.
