COOPERATION IN COAL.
Independent Mines Are to Supply the
Consumers.

Ashland, The successful operation
of the Northwestern Cooperative
Coal & Dock company and the start
ing of the work here in the CON
struction Of a modern coal dock mas
aroused a great deal OF interest
throughout the northwest, for TINS IS
the first time in the history OF thls
northwestern region that an eHoit
has thus been made to supply coal
consumers on cooperative basis WIN
coal direct from independent mines
in the east The movement was de-
signed originally for the Farmers Co
operative companies Of the north
west. but as under the terms OF the
organization no person can secure
coal except the stockholders, many
other coal consumers who have be
come incensed at the arbitrary nc
tation of the coal trust have become
members of the company,
Under the plan OF organization the
six northwestern states, Wisconsin,
Minnesota. North and South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska are each to have
one director, and the first annual
meeting for this purpose is to be heid
in Ashland In June, at which time ex-
cursions are to run from various
points In the northwest to this city.
The company is organized to secure
Tor its stockholders coal bought direct
at independent mines in the cast,
taken to Ashland on the great lakes
on boats chartered by the company
and unoaded on the company's own
docks at Ashland, thus taking coal
direct from the mine to the stock
holders OF the company, without the
Intervention OF any organized monop-

GaGison.-In a formal letter read TO
the Republican caucus Irvine l.. Len
root of Superior withdrew his name
as a candidate for United States sena-
tor and requested his supporters to
use their best independent judgment
in selecting some other man. TO
practically all except the members who
have been supporting his candidacy
this action came as a surprise and is
the result of a determination arrived
at on the part of Lenroot and some
of mis- advisers to withdraw and thus,
so far as he is concerned, make pos
sibie the ending OF the deadlock. The
Lenroot letter in part follows:
"A prolonging Of this contest great

ton and may endanger the selection
Of any man who can or will assist

sentative government now going on in

now TO place personal ambition higher
than the success of those principles
In the hope that my action may aid
in bringing about the selection of
some man who will creditably repre-
sent the progressive movement in our
state and nation | request my friends
no longer to consider me as candi-
date and use their best Independent
judgment in selecting some other man.
In taking this course | have made
no combination or agreement with
any other candidate, nor hes any been
made in my behalf, and ! have not
sought, and will not seek, to influence
the action of my friends other than
TO urge them to do what they believe
viii be for the best interests of the
state. | viii say further that this
action is taken without the knowledge
of any of the other candidates or
their supporters nor have ! been in
fiuenced by the desires Of any Of them
or from any other source in their be
half"
The senatorial caucus result was
not altered by the decision of Mr..
Lenroot, and after two ballots was ad-
iourned to give the Lenroot followers
chance in conference to decide their
future course. 1t is the general i'm
preston that the retirement from the
race of the Superior candidate will
bring a speedy end to the deadlock
The other candidates are all seeking
TO attract to their standard the bulk
of the Lenroot following. as this would
give a lead which would result IN
election or a combine of the opposi-
ton on some other single candidate.
Congressman Jenkins has been asked
to become a compromise candidate.

HARD LUCK AT LAWRENCE.
Fatalities and Bad Weather Have IN
terfered with Athletic Schedule.

Appleton.-Deaths and disagree
able weather have played havoc
with athletic schedules at Lawrence
university this spring, and out OF an
aggregate of eight engagements for
baseball games and track meets up to
date, not single one has been pulled
off Baseball games with Fond du
Lac. Oshkosh and Green Bay teams
of the Wisconsin state league have
been cancelled, the first two owing TO
inclement weather, and the last on ac-
count of the death OF Il member Of the
faculty
An outdoor interclass athletic meet
was postponed on account of wet
weather. 4 field meet with Oshkosh
normal was put off because OF low
temperature. The Marquet college
engagement was not pulled off for
similar reasons and now the baseball
game scheduled with Ripon college
for Monday and a gymnastc eXhih-
ton scheduled for Wednesday night
of this week have been postponed on
account Of the death of the wife of a
member of the Lawrence faculty.
The baseball game with Ripon took
place Sunday afternoon, while other
engagements with colleges OF the
state booked for past dates have been
indefinitely postponed. Lawrence ath-
letes have been in training throughout
the entire season and all lament the
hard luck in which they have been
playing.

Compulsory Education.

4 measure that is attracting more
than usual attention is the proposed
amendment to the compulsory educa,
ton law, as yet in the hands OF the
educational committee. The proposed
change affects all children OF the state
between the ages OF seven and IL
years. Under the present law, the
compulsory period is eight months OF
schooling in cities and 20 weeks IN
the country districts An exception
is made in the case of pupils living
two miles or more from school
house. The law also provides for tru'
ant officers. General complaint has
been made that there is a lack OF en-
forcement of the law.
Objection has been raised to the
pending bill by patrons of parochial
schools, not as to the time prescribed
but because the original bill provided
for a monthly report Of attendance
at the parochial schools of the county
superintendent or city official. 1t was
claimed that the proposed system i'm
posed too much of task upon those
in charge of the parochial schools
and to meet the objection the bill will
provide that the records of attend
ance be kept open to the inspection
of truant officers.
The committee has been obliged to
consider many conditions in seeking
to arrive at an equitable and neces
sary compulsory law. Statistics were
presented to prove that "a per cent
of the children between the ages OF
seven ad IA years attend school in
cities, while in the farming sections
and villages but 20 per cent attend
