HIGH SCHOOL MATTERS.

HIGH SCHOOL MATTERS.
 The new wagons which the town has furnished to carry the school children were made by Eckman bros. and are very fine for the purpose. There are four of them in all. The new school has all of the graded rooms full of pupils. The building is much admired by all who visit it. Golgano Bros. of New Rochelle took great pains in doing an excellent job for the town. As Frank J. l.ilborn chairman Of the Building Committee said In his speech at the dedication exercises: We are very grateful to the Golgano Dros., who erected this building. They erected this school as if 1t were building for themselves, putting hundreds of dollars worth of work and material into it for which they received no recompense. The architect, c. J. Birdsell of New Mill ford, deserves a word of praise. He took great interest and priue in pre- pairing a building of which Wash ington shou.- be proud. The book cases and the directors table in the office of the school board were maae by the energetic carpenter, w. w Wilson. me kewanee pneumatic water system was installed.

E. J. Thrall, who has just taken charge of the Snake Rock farm in Zoar, told your correspondent of very simple way of catching hawks which so much trouble the poultry, and one which nearly always cap lures the thief. Take tall pole and on top of it nail a fiat board on which set a medium sized steel trap, attaching the chain to the pole. The hawks see the place on which to land to locate the prey and before they know it their feet are caught in the trap and you have your bird. Just after coming to Snake Rock farm he put one up and in less than a day had big hawk which mad bothered MT Latin while there very much by catching his chicks. It is simple device but is sure to catch every time.

1T APPEALS TO ALL

Producing Managers, this year are
wildly enthusiastic over American
authors and American plays, partic-
ularly those with short casts, six or
seven people, such as 1.-THE Wolf, ,"
t.The Tiger and the Lamb paid
in Full, ''The Servant in the
House." ''The Thief and 1.-THE How
of the Wolff They contend that the
plot and story is stranger when con-
centrated around few characters, and
more direct and convincing. Mrs.
Fisk, in her play Of 'Rosmersholm,
has a cast of five people, and yet
it is one of her greatest successes,
it is quality and not quantity that
the public is demanding today. MY
Boy, jack now in its second season
is in the above class, a strange,
beautiful story, woven around seven

The case of State of Wisconsin vs.
Herman Podawi1tz charged with the
larceny of a COW was on trial all day
Tuesday and just prior to six
O'Clock when the state had rested
their side of the case, w E. Wheel
an, attorney for the defendant, made
a motion to direct verdict Of not
guilty for the reason that there was
no testimony to support a verdict
of guilty, and for the further rea-
son that there is no creditable tes-
timony to support a verdict Of
guilty" This motion was argued
Wednesday morning by Theodore W.
Brazeau on the part of the State
and w. E. Wheelan for the defend
ant. Judge Webb, after citing the
law and decisions in many similar
cases granted the motion and the
jury and prisoner were discharged.

ooh to be ready when death shall
come;
Oh to be ready to hasten home;
No earthward clinging
No lingering gaze,
No step at parting
No sore amaze,
No cloud-like phantom to fling a

earth's dark tomb;
But sweetly, gently to pass away
From the worlds dim twilight into

MANY MARVELS
Seen Under the Big Tents of
Dode Fisk's Circus.

The getting together of a big
circus is a gigantic undertaking, and
one that can only be accomplished
by an unlimited supply of money
in masters hand. That Dode Fisk
has attained this result is evidenced
by the roster of novelties and per-
formers secured this season. No ex-
pense has been spared to make the
Dode Fisk's Great Combined Shows
one of the very best under the can
vas this year There are other cir
cuses which are larger, but what the
Dode Fisk Shows lack in size is
more than made up in quality, the
very best performers having been
secured for the different depart
ments.
Mile Grazeuse, Europes premier
bareback rider, has been brought
across the Atlantic especially to fill
this engagement, this being the
first time she has ever appeared in
America. Most wonderful are the
daring feats she accomplishes on the
back of her thoroughbred Arabian
horse.
Under the roof of the big show
tent, is a net work of ropes, ladders,
and wires, where startling feats are
accomplished ON trapeze, swinging
bars, rings and slack wire. On the
big hippodrome track, Roman races,
hurdles and chariot races take place,
while everywhere round about are
clowns, eight of them, causing in
Simultaneous laughter by their absurd
antics, and over all, is a spirit of
gayety, life, brightness and color,
creating genuine amusement and real
enjoyment
The Dode Fisk Great Combined
Shows will exhibit here Thursday,
May 20 under the auspices of the
Grand Rapids Lodge of Elks.
