And now we hear leaders in the re- publican party saying something about George Lilley resigning as con- gressman when he becomes governor of Connecticut. Well, he isn't gov ernor yet, and the indications are that he may not be. You've heard of the story about the man who counted his chickens before they were hatch ed. Wouldn't it surprise the repub- licans if MT Lilley should take it into his head and return to Washington for the short session of congress from December to March? That's the trick to do-New Haven Union.
 From the way he hustled after the governorship nomination, it would lead one to think that he would rath- CT not go back to Washington. Uncle Joe and the men all along down the line to Boutell would no doubt like to see him return, even for the short term Their welcome to Congress man Lilley might be frostier than the spontaneous" reception given him on his return from New Haven last week.

OPPORTUNITY FOR FARMERS
City Boys Being Placed on Farms at
Moderate Wages-Thousands in
Milwaukee

H. A. Ochsner of Honey Creek has
been very successful in placing city
boys on farms in Sauk county. In
fact the whole movement has been
developed in this county largely
through the efforts of Mr.. Ochsner.
The first boy went out in 1905 to
Honey Greek on the farm of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pollinske. HE did very well,"
says Miss Bessie E. Buckley, assistant
to Superintendent Bert Hall of the
truancy department of the Milwaukee
public schools.
"Then Mr.. Ochsner became interest
ed and through his help the next year
a number of boys were placed. He
found the places and found the boys

A Waste of Good English.

Bobby's mother was often distressed
by her small sons lapses from correct
speech, all the more because his reports
from school were always good.
"Bobby," she said, plaintively, one
day, "Why do you keep telling Major
to set up when you know sit up
is what you should say?"
"Oh, we'll mother" Bobby answered,
hastily, ''of course have lots of gram
mar, but [ don't like to waste it on

F. n. Brett, who lives in the western
part of the city, was 81 years of age,
Sunday, May II.
Mr.. Brett was born in Harpersfield,
Ashtabula Co., Ohio, and lived on a
farm with his father until the spring
or 1888, when the family moved to
Geneva, Ohio, the next town north.
On Oct. s he was married to Miss

Little Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
thur Lanich Dies Aged One Year
and Seven Months
(From Fridays Daily.)

Helen Marie, the little daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Lanich, died this
morning at 4:3O of meningitis, having
been i'll but few days. She was one
year and seven months of age.
Funeral services will be held from
the residence Sunday afternoon. Inter
ment will be in the Sauk Prairie ceme-
terry.
Not many months ago Mr.. Lanich
suffered a considerable loss when the
store house containing his machinery
was burned. Only $3.50 insurance was
allowed in the adjustment. It seems
that the family is getting more than
its share of misfortune.

here, and thus the matter grew. This
year Mr.. Ochsner placed 20 boys. Of
course our work has become successful
because OF the interest and kindness OF
our neighbors. They have been very
patient with our boys and girls, MAX
ing the very best of each boy or girl
sent to them.
Miss Bessie Buckley formerly lived
in Honey Greek and is a cousin of
Marshal Buckley of Baraboo.
Mr.. Ochsner has this to say to farm
ers: "Boys and farmers suffer. On
one side too much work and plenty to
eat, on the other, not enough work and
starvation.
''Tf you get disappointed & few times,
keep 90; you will come out ahead.
"Don't try to make money out of the
boys; try to come out even.
"See that the boys get good places,
for some farmers are but little better
than the STAKEHOLDER of the South"
The following is a copy of recent
letter sent out by the truancy depart
ment from Milwaukee:
Mr. Editor
In the city of Milwaukee there are
thousands of good boys from IA to 10
years of age who are out of work. The
school law compels these boys to be
regularly employed or attend school.
This department is striving to get
places for boys of this kiud on the farms
of Wisconsin. If you will publish a
notice in your paper it might help
some farmer in your vicinity to get q
good boy to help him with his farm
work. Not every boy sent out turns
out q good investment for the farmer
but many of them make excellent farm
hands.
We expect farmers to advance railroad
fare aud start the boys at SIS, ,S8 or $40 per
month, according to the size and ability
of the boys. The railroad fare Is to be
deducted from the boys wages if he
does not remain at least four months.
If he does remain four months and
does we'll, he is to be given his railroad
fare.
Farmers must not expect to make too
much profit out of boy at first. The
life is new to them and the work is new
but with kind treatment and instruc-
tion the boys will usually turn out we'll.
Farmers who would like to try boy
should make application to Bert Hall,
Chief Truant Officer, City Hall, Mil
waukee.
It is necessary for farmers to give
references so We may know the boys
are going to work for reputable men.
Very truly yours,
Bert Hall,
Chief Truant Officer,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

required by law. The city hall flag
was reported as being worn out.
A petition signed by all of the police
officers of the city, asking for rise in
salary and vacation, was read by the
city clerk. The petition claimed that
prices had been raised in all depart
ments excepting the police. Referred.
Davis L Cooley were awarded the
contract forfurnishing 25,OOO bricks for
street work. Their bid was $24.90 per
1000. The bid of HI. M. Johnson was
$2495.
Alderman Welk offered a resolution
requiring the Street Commissioner to
make an itemized daily report to the
City Clerk, who in turn reports to the
Council at each meeting. This was
laid over until next meeting. Hereto
fore the reports have been filed with
the City En- ineer.
Alderman Jacobs offered resolution
requiring that all moneys from licenses
for Intoxicating liquors be turned in to
the fund for street improvements; the
surplus to be put into the general fund.
This was carried.
Much discussion arose regarding the
pavement of East street on the north
