TWO DEATHS
BY DROWNING
DeIbert MIC cMilIen, Ladysmith Boy,
and Henry Maier OF Port Arthur
while Swimming in FIambeau

Henry Mair was drowned at Port
Arthur last Sunday evening at about
$50 o'clock. Accompanied by several
others. he went swimming. Mair
jumped off the apron of the dam to
swim across the river and when about
half way across he followed for help,
but his companions, not knowing of the
danger he was in, paid no attention.
The first time he came up he swan
a few strokes toward shore and sank
once more; he then got confused and
swan under water, deeper into the
dam than before. The men worked for
two hours before they succeeded in re-
covering the body, having to open the
water gates. They took him to E. A.
Kirvan's and Dir. Ross was called, but
all efforts at resusitation were in vain.
Mr.. Mair was born in Ohio in 1873
and was the youngest of a family of
twelve children, all of whom are living.
He moved to Port Arthur about a year
ago to work for the Menasha Paper CO..
and being sober and Industrious, had
the respect of everyone.
The remains were taken to Chicago
for interment, accompanied by his sis
ter, Mrs. j. w. Campbell of Chicago,
his brother, Andrew Maier of Edon,
Ohio, and his wife and four year old
daughter.

Lenroot Challenges jenkins to Debate

Immediately after Congressman
Jenkins made his opening campaign
speech at Superior, Mr. LenrOot sent
him the following letter, which was
published in the newspapers over the
district:
Superior, Wise. July 10th, 1908.
Hon. John j. Jenkins,
Chippewa Falls, Wise.
Dear Sir:
In the opening speech of your cam
paign in Superior you charged that |
had been misrepresenting you in my
speeches, that my record was open to
attack and that had been making pro-
misses of patronage in return for sup
port.
l have said nothing in this campaign
and shall not, that / would not prefer
to say in your presence. Anything that
you say of me in the campaign | would
like to have said in my presence.
In order that you may have an oppor-
tunity to reply to me | suggest that
we discuss the questions at issue in this
campaign from the same platform.
shall be glad to arrange for series
of meetings of this character at such
places as may be agreed upon between
US.
I believe that this plan would greatly
aid the voters in coming to a conclusion
as to how their votes should be cast.
Hoping to receive favorable reply,
Yours very truly,
/. l., LENROOT.

cline your proposition. There is abso-
lutely nothing for you and me to discuss.

leave my case with them after visiting

the false statements made regarding my

There were 634,o87,ooo bushels
OF wheat, Assoc, 900 bushels OF corn,
and 754,A43,ooo bushels of oats

Thus more than 81, o have

There is another case or two of
small pox in town across the track
in the north part Of the city. Great
care is beirg exercised to prevent
the malady spreading and it is not
believed that it will necessarily
cause any further concern, still it
would be a good idea for every
one who is in any danger of being
exposed to get vaccinated. Small
pox rarely spreads to amount to
anything after hot weather but
proper precaution may save those
who have been or are likely to be
exposed a tussle with one of the
nastiest diseases in the world.

The Tribune's attention has been
called to the excellent work being
done in this state by the CO.. Opera:
tive Educational. association, @ss
It is we'll known by those most
closely allied with our public
school system that the work of the
pupil lacks that degree Of thorough
ness that should character the
mastery Of daily lessons. Il, This s,as
largely due to the crowded condi.
ton Of the public school class room
"a condition, that incapacitates the
teacher in her desire to give to each
child the individual attention he
should receive, as well as the lack. of
equipment in the way of dependable
help in the home, for it Is true that
the average home is unable to as
sist the child in any way in his
school work. i3. ...s. n.
In an effort to remedy the above
conditions the association has pre-
pared and is now engaged in the
distribution of a system Of help that
has received the Endorsement of the
leading educators of the country,
among whom are found state super
intendents of education, presidents Of
normal schools and state universities,
as well as the local educational au-
thorities. This system Of help is
known as the new practical refer
ence library and the practical home
and school educator, and treats in a
clear and comprehensive manner

Mr.. Taft exactly as I ask such sup
port from every far-sighted and right
thinking citizen: because I be-

who will as vigilantly and efficiently
as Mr.. Taft support the rights of

rights Of every man who in good
