here, All who knew her loved her
and her death was distinct shock.
She spent her early girlhood days
here, she graduated from the Wash
burn High School. she taught school

we had lost one of our own. The
husband and the parents and broth

reavement. Mr.. Buol who accom-
panied the remains of his wife here

Constitution of the State Bars
Washburn From Further Claim.
Only Amounts for the Past
Six Years Can be Collec-
ted Under Law.

Nothing further can be done
in the matter Of securing from
the state the back aid for high
school purposes which it was
claimed was due the school in
this city. At a recent meeting
of the school board President l..
N. Clausen was instructed to go
to Madison for the purpose of
having a bill introduced in the
Legislature providing that the
amount which was due this school
be allowed. When he got there
he learned that a claim Of this
kind was against the constitu-
tion of the state in as much as
the limitations had overrun. All
that can be collected is for the
past six years and this amount
has been received. The section
relative to this is Article s, Sec
tion 2 of the constitution which
is as follows. mo money shallbe
paid out of the treasury except
in the pursuance of an appropri-
alton by law. No appropriation
shall be made for the pay yment Of
any claim against the state ex-
cept claims of the United States
and Judgements, unless filed
within six years after the claim
accured." The claim of the city
high school was for aid from the
time the school was organized un-
til 1902. 1t amounted to almost
$4,000. There are a number,of
Other yS5aools in northern Wis.
consin that are in the same fix
with this school. It has been an
oversight on the part of the past
officials as to the classification of
the school and no claim was pre-
sented to the state until some
time last fall.

Won the Game
Independents put up a Good
Game and win From the
Whirlwinds.

At the Opera House in this city
last Friday evening was seen one of
the best basket ball games Of the
season when the Independent team
of this city took the scalp of the
Whirlwind team of Ashland. The
final score was twenty-five to four.
teen. The local team did not feel
that they would be able to win the
game for the Ashland team had the
reputation of being one of the best
on the bay. They however did not
loose heart with this and they played
ball from the start to the finish with
the result in their favor. A large
crowd from Ashland accompanied
the team here. After the game
dancing was indulged in until after
twelve o'clock.

Meeting With Success.

The committee of the Commercial
club composed of E. G. Stevens, D..
J. Estabrook and William Olson, as
sisted by r. w. Smith, are meeting
with great success in their efforts to
secure enough cows to insure a
steady run for the Washburn cream
cry. The committee have been un-
usu ally busy during the past week
al have made the rounds of good
many of the farmers in this vicinity.
Everywhere they found the farmers
eager to assist in every way possible
and already they have large num-
ber of cows or the list. They will
however continue their efforts until
a thorough canvass has been made
of all the farmers who can possibly
ship their milk and cream to the
city and it is expected before they
are through that they will have
enough cows SC - tA- there VIII be
no doubt about the creamery turn
ing out to be great success. The
plan that the committee are now
working under is TO form the far
mers into a CO. operative creamery
company and the share of stock
have been placed as low as $40 each.
This small amount will allow almost
every farmer to become a member OF
the company. The profit made
through the operation OF the
creamery will revert back to
the farmers. The operation Of
a creamery of this kind means a
great deal to the farmers and others
of this community, and everybody
should "boost" for it in every way
that they can.

Make it Stronger.

The anti cigarette law will be
strengthened at this session of the
legislature i either of the bills pend
ing before the legislature passes.
The cigarette law was passed two
years ago as the result of strenuous
efforts on the part of Senator H. P.
Bird. Originally it prohibited the
use of tobacco in any form by child
rem under sixteen wears of age and
forbid the sale of cigarettes in the
state. Assemblyman V. HI. Cady
proposes to amend the law prohibit
ing the use of tobacco in any form
by persons under eighteen years of
age.
There were several tests cases in
the courts during the past two years
as to whether tobacco in a
tobacco wrapper was cigarette.
This w)uld prevent any quibbling
over the law as applied to persons
under eighteen years of age, by for
bidding the use of cigars or tobacco
Sin any form"

Thomas Francis Died Last Thursday
Night at Homestead.
Funeral Held Monday. Had
Lived in City For Twenty
two Years.

The death of Thomas Francis,
a pioneer of this city. occurred
last Thursday night at the home
stead fourteen miles north of
this city, death being due to
heart failure. Mr.. Francis death
was very sudden. At about
eleven o'clock Mrs. Francis was
awakened by her husband who
com planned about not feeling
very we'll, saying that he thought
that he was coming down with
pneumonia and he was having
great difficulty in getting his
breath. Mrs. Francis arose and
started the fire and prepared a
home remedy which she intend
ed to apply. When she returned
from building the fire she found
Mr.. Francis sitting up in a rock
ing chair, and shortly after she
arrived Mr.. Francis said 81 am
gone" and with that slipped out
of tho chair to the floor. Mrs.
Francis thought that he had
tainted away and it was quite
awhile before she could realize
that he was dead. Mrs. Francis
was alone in the house at the
time and she was compelled to
wait until morning before she
could go and notify the neigh
bors. The nearest neighbors
are a mile and a half distance
from the homestead and Mrs.
Francie made the trip on skis.
Neighbors iixAieufately went to
Four Mile Greek and notified
friends in this city while others
walked to Cornucopia and notified
Richard Francis, a son.
Undertaken Estabrook went
out Friday morning to get the
remains and they were brought
to this city. The funeral SER
vices were held from the Metho-
dist church Monday afternoon
and interment took place in the
Protestant cemetary.
Mr.. Francis was born in Aus
tria and was sixty-eight years
and three months old at the time
of death. He came to this coun-
try when a boy of thirteen. To-
gether with his family he moved
to Washburn twenty-five years
ago. For many years he was
watchman at the Omaha -four
shed in this city and afterwards
conducted a confectionery store
in the Gautschi building. Dur.
ing the past few years he has re-
sided on a. homestead on the
"Barrons." He leaves a wife.
two sons and daughter, beside
a number of other relatives to
mourn his death.
The surviving relatives have
the heartfelt sympathy of all
citizens during their hour of sor-
row.
