COFFIN NAILS"
CAUSE TROUBLE
Young Man Ordered out of Bar
Der Shop for Smoking Ciga-
retteS

For some time past great
deal of annoyance has been caused the
patrons of barber shops and other
business houses in this city, by the
habitual users of cigarettes, who care
not where so ever they smoke, or in
whose face the obnoxious fumes float.
This annoyance reached climax in
this city last week when one young
man whose name we do not care to
mention, was ordered out of one of
the barber shops, amid the words of
approval of every patron who remain
ed.
Tobacco and cigar smoke is bad
enough, but when it comes to the
nicotine weed, the wrathful indigna-
tion of any sane person is justified in
arousing. However. there is but one
way in which the cigarette smoker can
be taught his place, and that is by the
emulation of the barber who ordered
the young man in question out of his
shop. If every business man in the
city would prohibit the use of the
cigarette in his place of business. the
public would not only approve, but
would undoubtedly extend a vote of
thanks

FROM THE PORTO
RICAN'S POINT
An Editorial in Review Gives
Some Inkling OF the Relations
With Uncle Sam.

A copy of The Porto Rico Review,
dated Saturday, Feb, 8, 1907, has
reached this office through the court
esy of +. j. Wood, and therein con-
tanned is an editorial, based upon an
interview with Arsine Arpin, which
not only gives the reader some inkling
of the conditions that exist politi-
cally in that country, but which also
reveals something of the relations be-
tween that country and the United
States.
For the benefit of those of our
readers who will be interested in the
article in question, we publish the
same in full as follows:
Mr.. Arpin, the ancient and honor
able contestant for the Concerto water
power, arrived on the Caroline last
week. accompanied by Mrs. Arpin.

The joint resolution of Senator
Whitehead is predestined to stir up
great deal of comment and probably
pretty bitter oposition, ere it is dis
posed of. In brief it seeks to elimi-
nate the Circuit Courts and Munich
pal courts.
While there may attach to the
scheme some points of advantage it is
very generally thought by attorneys
who have examined the measure, that
it would result in the overburdening
of the Supreme Court, not only be-
cause of the greater number of courts,
but also because Of the errors neces-
sarily arising from the decisions of
men of lesser legal attainment than
those not occupying positions on the
Circuit bench.

FAMOUS CASE
NOW SETTLED
Judge Fowler Hands Down De.
cision Favorink Petitioners.

The legal firm of Goggins & Brazeau
have been successful in their conten-
tions for the petitioners in the famous
Dancy Drainage case, recently tried
before Judge Fowler at Wausau. The
effect of Judge Fowler'S decision is to
expedite the drainage Of the lands,
and it is not probable that there will
be any further delay resulting from
legal issues.
The Dancy Drainage case is prob
ably one of the best known cases OF
the kind tried in this state. 1t was
first tried in the Circuit court and
later appealed to the Supreme Court.
After being decided in that court a
new issue was brought forth and made
necessary a new trial. This trial was
recently held before Judge Fowler at
Wausau, and resulted in the above
noted decision.

After interviewing large number
of the property owners and citizens of
this city, we find a strong sentiment
tavoring the opening OF street from
First to Second street, on property
belonging to The First National Bank
the John Arpin Estate, and II. g.
Wipperman. At present The street
can be opened on vacant property.
No buildings will have to be moved
and very few distractions will have to
be cleared away. The expense of
leyeling and filling the street will be
a small matter
The only question for the city to
determine is what it will cost TO buy
the necessary real estate The OPEN
ing of this street will be a great con-
venience TO the general public, and of
course will add to the present value of
abutting property. Therefore, we feel
that those who will be benefited
thereby, should be willing to do their
part, toward making it easy for the
city TO open said street, At present
there is strong demand for the open
ing of this street, and the city council
should lose no time in taking hold of
this matter, and dispoSing of it
promptly for the general good. We
hope this will be done.

GAME WAS EXCITING

The basketball game between the
Stevens Point High school team and
the Lincoln High School team, at the
gymnasium in the Lincoln building
Friday evening, proved to be one of the
surprises Of the season, and was an ex-
ceptionally good ending for the
season.
The game called out a large
crowd. and was one of the fast
est and most exciting games ever
played in this city. The Stevens
Point boys had met defeat at the
hands of the local aggregation once
before this season, and it was easy to
be seen at the outset, that it was their
intention to even matters up.
The first half was exciting. every
man on either side doing his best to
lengthen the lead as much as possible
1t resulted IN score of to 8 in favor
of the Lincoln boys.
The second half was hardly under
way when the Stevens Poiat lads by
snappy, accurate playing Kept very
close to the home lads and it was their
hosts turn to get busy. This they did
in an interesting way, and the half
ended in tie, IL to II.
The teams were;then given a chance
to show their mettle, the game going
to the team that made the first two
points. Stevens Point scored first
making one point. Then excitement
was at its heighth, and when Walter
Wood, threw basket from field and
scored two points, making the score Is
to Il. the crowd lost all control of it.
self and the applause was deafening.
Nothing but praise could be heard
for either team. The visitors shared
as freely in the glory as the local boys,
and it can truly be said that the Lin
coin lads were as much surprised in
the fight that they were compelled to
put up as the spectators were.

you want it painted? One coat? two
coats? three coats? first class or
cheap"
The proper answer is: II want the
best paint put on as it ought to be-"
That's Devoe; but the usual answer
is: 81 want good job: but l want it
cheap" which, means: want you
to paint it for nothing. I want to be
fooled.
Lead-and-oil is the coStlieSt paint
there is: Dot the best; it used to be
best. Devoe is best, since zinc came
in: DevOe lead-and-Zince.
Zinc tOughens the lead and doubles
it's wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead: and
