The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-01-22

sri Friends of Judge Dunwiddie of
GAINESVILLE are quite anxious over his
condition. The Judge suffered stroke
of paralysis last week which affected
his speech and has since been failing.
Mrs Leak Binash died Thursday
evening, Jan. 18th, after an illness
] lasting only few days, the cause of
death being pneumonia. The deceased
was born Sept. 18th, 1875, in Norway.
In the eleven years of her married life
she became the mother of FIVE chill
dren. The oldest daughter died last
February and the husband and four
children mourn the loss of devoted
mother. A large number of sympa-
thizing friends attended the funeral,
which was held last Sunday at the Nor
wegian Lutheran church, conducted by
Rev. John Linnevold The remains
| were consigned to the grave in the
Jensen cemetery.

School Superintendent Districts Con-
sOlidated.
That the January session of the Rock
County Board Of Supervisors will go
down in history as one which was
fraught by more exciting and interest
ing discussions than any previous ses-
sion is>now a certainty.
Hardly do the members of the board
dispose of one interesting phase of
county Legislation before another equal
ly interesting and complex arises and
discussions that are both prolonged and
heated follow.
The question of Judge Rosa's salary
had hardly been cooled off when the
proposition of appropriations for the
county school superintendent came up
and this led to an echo of the last pri-
mary campaign.
The attack, while aimed at both
school superintendent, Antisdel and
Hemingway, really resulted in a per-
sonal attack upon Mr.. Hemingway,
which led him to speak in his own de-
Tense.
Supt. Hemingway stood his ground

tended to censure him were withdrawn.
Final action was taken when resolu-
ton was. adopted to the effect that in
place of the two uperintendents there
shall be one.
The term of the one superintendent
will not begif until the terms of the
present incumbents expire, which is in
July. In the resolution the salary of
the superintendent is fixed at $500 a
year, payable monthly, the superinten-
dent paying for the holding of diploma
examinations, $3.50 being allowed him
for travelling expenses and $500 for
printing and stationery.
Once before the board sought to con-
solidate the superintendent districts but
repented before the order went into
effect. From the standpoint of econ
-omy it is hard to see what will be
gained by combining the. districts, as
the entire county has over 200 school
districts and it will be next to impossi-
BILE for superintendent to give them
proper supervision. We shall not be
surprised if on mature deliberation the
board will conclude to go back to the
old order of things.
