covery and death came as a peaceful
relief to her painful suffering.

spent much of her early childhood with
her grandparents, the late Henry and
Dorothea LANCE, former residents of
the town of Pleasant Prairie.
Her husband is the surviving mem

Wisconsin State Teachers To
Take Up important Matter at
the Coming Sessions
MANY CHANGES ARE PLANNED
Committee in Charge of Drafting New
Laws for the Association is
Now Ready to Report
On Bylaws

The election Of president and the re-
vision of the constitution ana substi-
tuition of new set of .y-laws for the
old by the Wisconsin Teachers asso-
citation will be subjects of principal
interest in the convention to be held
in Milwaukee, Nov. 1914.
Friday night the committee on the
revision of the constitution, which
consists Of Chairman G.. G. Shuts
Whitewater; Dominic Schiller, Mil
waukee; F. S. Hyer, Stevens Point;
Thomas R. Llyod Jones, Wauwatosa;
John Callahan, \. Menasha; DR.. E. c..
Elliott, University of Wisconsin, an
nounced that it would recommend to
the convention that the association con
tinue it's present method of assessing
dues, which is that SO cents be paid
annually by each woman and 81 annu-
ally by each man who is a member;
that the number of polling places be
increased, as the two previously pro
vided were insufficient that the execu-
tive committee shall have general man
agement of the association, including
administration Of finances, the fixing
of time and place Of meetings, the
oversight of the various officers in the
discharge of their duties and the power
to fill temporarily all vacancies not
otherwise provided for; that busI-
ness meeting be held at the close Of
each general morning session; that the
committee ON elections shall consist of
ten members, five of whom shall be
appointed every year for a term of
two years, of which the president shall
be chairman; that voting for officers
of the association shall be by ballot.
Another recommendation is that, if
it is found when the first ballot is
counted that one candidate has a ma
jority, he is elected; if not, the two
having the highest number Of votes
are nominated
Besides these recommendations by
the committee there is a minority rec
ommendation signed by D. II. SCHUYLER
and E. @. Elliott, that men and women
members be charged the same annual
fee for membership, but that asso-
ciate members be charged so cents and
active members ST.. They recommend
further that active members and asso-
ciate members have every privilege in
common, except tnat of voting for as
ISOLATION officers, which shall belong
to the active members only.
With the exception of the difference
of opinions as to the matter of the
membership fee Of men and women
members, the action Of the committee
was unanimous.
The question Of the ACCESSIBILITY OF
the men and women paying different
fees has been mooted one for years
in the association, one party contend
ing that the women should continue to
have their membership at half price
because of the difference in salaries
paid men and women teachers and the
other party arguing that women got
more than SO cents Of the salary
paid men and that as they received
all privileges accorded the men mem
bers they should pay full price for
membership.

A city Official, especially a member of

wanted to build fame by STOPPING to
public untruths. There is no distinction

the police department would be negligent
in its duty should it overlook the treat
ment of these unfoitunates. There are
modes of treatment for diff rent classes,
1t is true, and the gentleman spoken OF
in your dispatch received exceptionally
good treatment at our hands. That he
was helpless many good citizens will
besr me out. That he was ignorant OF
his whereabouts the same persons can
testify. As chief OF the city's police de-

ssked him a few questions as to who be
was and where he was going. | Satisfied
myself fully that III he had money he would
