Representative is Satisfied with Out.
lock for Material and is ERcour-
aged by Commercial! Club

A large manufacturing concern with
headquarters in ST. Louis, Mo-, has a
representative in the city with the
view of locating a plant here to manu-
facture patent woven lath. They al
ready have several similar plants in
operation in the south. They would
utilize much of the material now be-
ing consumed as poverty wood" and
crooked logs which could be worked up
into bolts by the farmers all of which
must have a diameter of twelve inches
of sound wood Besides furnishing a
market for the farmers, their product
will revolutionize the building trade,
houses being built with their lath and
cemented on the outside.
They do not ask any bonus simply a
site, y which the Commercial Club will
give them provided the proper guaran-
tee is made. Their investment here
will represent about $4,000 and they
employ upwards of a dozen men the
year round.
Ladysmith was recommended to them
by D. F. Clark of Minneapolis.

HUNTERS ARE
AFTER The DEER
Hunting Season Opens with Uniav-
orabie Weather. Though Rain
will Make Woods nQuiet'i

Hunting parties have been leaving
town all the week, going out to their
camps in various directions, in prepara-
tion for the deer hunting season, which
opens today and lasts twenty days.
The daily papers began to tell of casu-
alties in the woods several days before
the season opened.
The deer are said to be plentiful this
year, and as each hunter is only allowed
to shoot one, perhaps there will be a
larger percentage of lucky ones. Hunt
ers by the hundreds have come up from
the southern part of the state for their
annual outing in the woods, many of
whom have passed through this city.
Many Ladysmith hunters will make
their headquarters at Bucks Camp,
north of Apollonia, where Tom Foster
is cooking for the "boys." The rail
road has been taken up this summer to
point below there, so that the last Ii
miles of the trip is made on foot
The weather is quite unfavorable,
being warm with considerable rain. A
fall of snow and lower temperature
would be welcomed by the hunters.
County Clerk Munroe has issued
1882 hunting licenses to date, III less
than at this time last year. A large
number of women are taking out Ii
censes this year.

To the Honorable County Board 0
| Supervisors of Rusk County
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen:
While there has not been the usua
increase in school population during the
past year, yet there has been I'm
crease in the number of schools, be-
cause of some new settlements and the

district in the town of Strickland has a
neat country school of concrete at a
reasonable cost A small school was
built during the summer in the town of
Washington, the plan for which was
made in the county and approved.
Of the ninety-six teachers outside of
Ladysmith, sixty are in one-room build
ings. Forty-seven of our sixty country
schools have equipment required for
rural schools of the first class and each

Messrs. Hendrickson and Rosani,
gave their performance to a large aud

Although better magicians have appear

few stunts, to which all of his audience
were mot wise.
Rosani could make that Clutch nose"

good, and Shadowgraphy, though an
old trick, assumed some new forms at
the hands of Mr.. Hendrickson.

ssThe King OF Tramps"

1.-The Wizard of Or" and the famous
adventures of the "Scare Grow" and
the merry Ten Woodmen" through
the wondrous Land of Nod" are tales
familiar to all of us, large and small.
Who among US has not followed them
in their merry mythical wanderings?
''The Scare Grow" and the ''Merry
Ten Woodmen" have both been brought
to real life in famous stage impersona-
tions that are startlingly real. In the
king of Tramps, :" which comes to the
Worden opera house Tuesday, Nov. 16,
there is young man, Mr.. G. B. Will
kins, whose stage portrayal and char
acter makeup of the "Scare Grow" is
said to be little short of marvellous.
Critics pronounce it as being a stage
creation beyond comparison, one that
must be seen to be appreciated. In
scare crow language he is described as
being a person with a ''stuffy tired
feeling, at times shakey on his pins.
Some people take him for man of
straw, but he doesn't care straw
for that, and his wondrous broad smile
is a sight to behold" The scare crow
dance of Mr.. Wilkins is one of the hits
of the show.

Best Advertising Medium

DuIing the Budgets piano con-
test which will extend into the holidays,
this paper will by long odds be the
best advertising medium in the county.
Starting out with the largest circula-
tion, already more than score of new
names have been added, which will con-
tinuc to increase every week. Besides
this we are sending out couple of
hundred sample copies each week to
names sent in by the contestants. If
business men are looking for results in
the advertising line, they should plant
an ad in the News-Budget.

OBITUARY

DARRAR. -Thos. Darrar, aged IS, was
found dead at his home three miles
northwest of Sheldon Sunday, Nov 7.
One of the neighbors CHANGING to go
past the house, where he lived alone,
noticed the lamp burning and looking
in at the window saw the body lying on
the floor. Hastily summoning help
they made an investigation and cor
oner's inquest was held, which decid-
ed that he came to his death from heart
failure.
About a year ago Mr.. Darrar had a
severe case of blood poisoning in his
foot and was confined to his bed at the
home of his daughter, Mrs Thos.
Thompson, in this city for several
months, He was gradually recovering
from this ailment and thought to go to
work in a lumber camp this winter.
When found, it was evident that death
had come just as he was preparing to
retire, as he had just dressed his injur-
ed foot and his watch was in his hand.
1t is probable that his old injury, coup
led with his advanced age, was the
cause of his death.
The body was brought to this city
and prepared for burial, and taken to
Boyd Tuesday to be laid to rest by the
side of his wife, who preceded him to
the "great beyond" some fifteen years
ago. Thos. Thompson and family ac-
companied the remains to Boyd.
His daughter in this city and son at
Boyd are the only surviving children.

MOVE TRAINING
SCHOOL TO BRUCE
County Board Takes Unexpected &c
ton at Close of Session.-Musf
Provide Better Quarters

The action of the county board IN re
gard to the Teachers Training Schoo
came as somewhat of a surprise t
everyone a especially citizens OF
Ladysmith Since its organization
with the exception of a few months
while the Carnegie Library was being
completed, the school has been located
in the basement of the library building.
Apparently upon the supposition that
Ladysmith had agreed to provide per-
nnanent accommodations for the school,
the board voted to give us thirty days
in which to provide more suitable quar-
ters and in the event of our failure, to
move the school to Bruce, where it is
proposed to take care of it in the public
school building.
EENow, in the first place, the PROPOSE
ton of the city council submitted to
the board at it's spring meeting in 1907,
upon which the school was located in
this city, was as follows:
That we offer to your honorable
body sufficient room, seated, heated
and complete in our n e W Carnegie
Library Building, for the Teachers
Training School.
The school was then in the expert
mental stage; the library building was
never intended as permanent quarter;
its promoters hoped that the school
would grow and be deemed of sufficient
Importance in few years so that it
would merit a building expressly fitted
for its quarters. 1t has exceeded the
expectations of even the most sanguine.
School officers all over the county are
praising h teacher it turns out.
Ladysmith has been doing all that she
is being benefited why should Lady
smith be called upon to supply build
ing? If the board finally concludes to
erect a normal school building, Lady
smith will have to pay about onesixth
of the coast, as that is about our pro-
portion of the county taxes.
The County Training School is filling
a long felt want Prominent educators
agree that it has to stay, as there will
be steady demand for its product. 1t
is a good investment, both for the
state and county, the latter only paying
one-third of the cost of maintenance.
At present it is centrally located, where
there are good railroad facilities and
whole library of reference books.
The proposition to move the school to
Bruce temporarily would work hard
ship on many students who are work =
ing for their board, as there are Ger
tainly more such opportunities in Lady
smith than anywhere else in the county,
The public school of that village is at
present occupying the whole building,
and if it were possible to give the
Training School two rooms it would not
then have the Accommodations it has at
present. And at best it would be only
temporary arrangement.
1t is believed that the deficiency in
the matter of heating, ventilation and
light can be remedied so that it will be
in measure satisfactory for the bal
ance of this school year at least, and
our common council should fulfill it's
predecessors contract with the county
to that extent at once.
