willing, or anxious or ready to die,
but we insist that it should be the duty

every loyal L~ouisianian to see this
little queen city of Southwest Louis

relative growth, Lafayette may be
said to lead any other town OF the

At the head of this, industrial In
stitutel that was really a revelation to
one and all, in the greatness
of it's scope and widereach-
ing power, is a Natchitoches boy. DR..
f.. L. Stephens, who, as President,
has built up a school that while In
point of years may still be considered
in swadling clothes, but in point OF
power may be considered about to
step into maturity. 1t was with the
greatest personal pride, that we
istened to all that was said about
this young president. his ability,
personal magnetism and the WONDER
full success that he was making OF the
work for which he was so eminently
fitted.
Lafayette parish was the first in the
State to consolidate her rural schools
and she runs successfully fourteen
transfers transporting three hundred
and fifty children a day: and proudly
boasts of having twenty graded
schools, n for each twelve square
miles, one within six miles of the
furthest removed pupil in the parish

it was last week during the convention
of the State Press Association wher
Lafayette threw open her doors to the
members from the time of their ar

ments and apparatus will be all that could be desired as aids to the study. At the end of that time I hope to be at least little more scholarly than am now, and to have some hard-wOn degrees which 1t may be my privilege to append to my name if wish to, but which will probably not use. Then as to earning a living, well, I shall enter upon whatever service will make me most useful to my fellow men. I shall retain my capacity as minister, and if the way of service should find me again the pastor of 8 church, l shall serve both as pastor and as scien- titic investigator in my chosen scien- titic speciality. If on the other hand it should be in literary or college work should still, I trust, perform the dual service of investigator and spirit ual guide. When one realizes that in some of our largest universities there are thousands of young lives, bright, alert and receptive, and that these young lives are passing through the university in a constantly changing stream, then one may vaguely con ceive what opportunities may belong to one connected with the university who is daily featuring to, working with, and influencing these young people about to assume their varied positions In the life of the nation, and destined, many of them, to become themselves leaders in their several spheres. I only pray that God may lead as He sees best.

NO NEWS AND NO HOPE.

Hon. Peter Schroeder has abandoned
his search for the remains of his sister.
Frances, who was on board the iii fated
steamer Columbia, and is now on his
way back from the Pacific coast where
he went on receiving news of the terrible
disaster, hoping to be of some assistance
to her in case she was among the rescu.
ed or to bring back her remains. He is
expected home either today or tomorrow
The journey that he made was long
and lonely one 1t was prompted by
love and hope, yet it was of no avail,
for at its end sorrow has taken the place
that hope occupied in his heart. The
brothers and sisters and the good old
parents Of the unfortunate girl who have
awaited his return with alternating
hopes and fears will receive from him
only a message of perpetual sorrow -

No EXTRA PAY FOR
DREDGING KARDPAN.

Because of eucountering an area of
hardpan about 200 feet square in the
river ned, the Starke Dredge 4 Dock Co.
refuse to complete the work called for
in the contract made with the city which
specifies price of II cents.
At meeting Of the h}Tbor committee
and city attorney held last Thursday
night the matter was taken up aud dis
cussed and the result of the deliberation
was that the city ought to demand Of
the company that the contract be COM
pIeted without extra compensation, as it
was particularly specified in the con
tract that bidders must inform them.
selves thoroughly in regard To the
character of the work to be done. The
paragraph reads as follows
Bidders are expected to satisfy them.
selves rs to the nature of the work to be
done and it will be assumed that the
proposals are based upon IL thorough un.
derStanuing of its character No con.
cessions will be made for any lack of in,
formation on the part of the contractor. 20
Later-At the council meeting Mon
day evening G. II. Nogel, manager of
the Stark Dredge " Dock Co, declined
to state definitely whether the company
would complete the work according to
the terms Of the contract, and stand the
expense Of blasting the haldpan. He
maintained that contract to dredge did
not include blasting. When pressed 10y
City Attorney Hougen for Il definite
answer as 10 whetherthe company would
or would not dredge the channel to u
depth OF II feet up the river where the
hardpan has been struck, Mr. Nogel
gave an evasive answer, and asked for
more time to consider the matter. His
request was granted and he was given
until this Thursday evening to make
reply at a special meeting of the council
Should the answer be mo the city will
advertise for bids to do the work and
Withhold the cost from the contract price
with the company. 1t is probable that
the matter will end in litigation.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Now comes the county fair. Sept, 4
., 6, ! are to be gala days in Manitowoc
The fair this year promises to be the
best show of the kind ever presented tC
the people Of Mani.owoc county. The
officers of the fair association are devot-
ing their time and energy in arranging
for a successful fair. The premium
books which have just been issued are
the most complete books ever sent out
by the Industrial Association of this
county. The book contains 112 pages.
More and better premiums are offered
this year than ever before in the history
Of the association. There are induce
ments in the premium book which should
attract exhibits Of everything raised on
the farm, orchard or garden, or produced
in the school or the home. The racing
card also merits attention. The purses
offered are large and it is probable that
some of the best horses in the state will
be entered The officers have secured
amusement attractions of high order
1t Is safe to say that the fair this year
will eclipse any fair heretofore held in
this county, and this is saying good
deal for last years fair was an excellent
one. Remember the dates, September
1, ;, 6, :, the first week of the month.
Make plans TO attend the fair.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.

Last Tuesday evening Il peculiar acci-
dent took place ut the farm of Richard
Halverson, II short distance southwest of
Branch. Mr.. Halverson' team, hitched
to IA new side delivery hay rake, had
been tied on the inside of the fence To
the gate post The horse of another
party was also tied to post of the fence
adjoining the road, but GA the opposite
side. Suddenly there appeared from
the distance along the road an automo-
bile but owing to the peculiar lay of the
land it was at first Understandable as to
whether II was u carriage or an auto.
Suddenly the friend with VIII ON Mr..
Halverson was couversing, discovered
that 1t was an auto, and started on the
run to his horse at the same time saying,
Il wonder what kind of an actor my
horse will be-. The auto driver appar-
emily was u man of good Judgment and
slowed down, so "a to be only Just NOV
friend showed no signs of fear, whatever,
and Mr. Halverson's team appeared TO
be in the same mood until the auto WAS
just in front of them, when, suddenly
they made jump thereby tearing the
strap 10y which they were fastened. and
lunged forward in mad run along side
the road fence, taking down about six
fence posts after which they turned off
into the field, being brought to stand
| still by the hired man working on the
other side of the field MIR. Halversou
said the machine WAS rendered worthless
and although it was costly occurrence
for the owner, this undoubtly ends the
matter, for as stated above, the man run
ming the auto showed that he was will
ing to do his part TO avoid an accid lent.

ShebOygan and ManituwOc old time
rivals, crossed bats on the diamond at
the fair grounds last Sunday Sheboy-
gantes appeared in brand new suit
of white and we must say, the color
was very appropriate, white being the
color indicating IA surrender. Well it il
needless to say the Manitowoc braves
did them up right, only one man being
able to cross the home plate, this occurr-
ing in Sheboygan's half of the second
inning. Manitowoc On the other hand
scored four times, one in the third. two
in the fifth and one In the sixth inning.
Both teams had their share Of errors.
but then this is an every day occurrence
on this earthly sphere. Umpire Boland
of Chicago held the Indicator and rem.
dered fine decisions

which you cut for Sheboygan Sunday
and of which you twined the wreath for

ball star of the Manitowoc team is now
on the advancing wave, wearing the
zenith of victory. Boys little more
of the same vim and vigor displayed,
and the penant of 1907 will be yours
with ne'er word to the contrary. The
grand stand was we'll filled and with
such playing we see no reason why the
same shall not be true always.

one of the advantages the country
school has over the city school is the
length Of the term. In the city the term
is usually l0months while in the country
it is usually l3. A mistake, you say :
Not at all. Book learning occupies the
country child's attention less than the
city childs perhaps, but when the eight
or nine months of indoor work is over
the country child has three or four
months of most excellent manual train.
