INDIAN KILLED BY TRAIN

ASHLAND, Wis, Oct 1S.-Fred
Cameron, an Indian residing at Oda
nah, was killed by a North Western
train probably some time Sunday
night. His body was found today
near Beartrap in a badly cut up con-
dition. From what can be learned
the man had been drinking somewhat
and it is supposed that he must have
been sitting on the track when the
train came along and hit him.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY
COMMITTEE 19O9-191O'

The Library Committee composed
uf Mrs. t, w. Brazeau, MIS-. O. T.
Hougen, Mrs. F. X. Pomainville, Miss
Edith Rablin and Mrs. w. f. Kellogg,
chairman submit the following report:
The committee met early in May
and planned their work for the year as
outlined in ithe yearbook. Some
changes have been made in the out
line since then. The lecture by Miss
Lutte E. Stearns was given this fall
Instead of last spring as first planned.
And the regular Library Meeting
which should have been held Septem-
Der 3rd was unaro'd2b'y postponed
until october 14th.
One OF the main obj C that the Lii
brary Committee has been WOrhi' 9 for
tn S year is the securing of eif from
Mr.. Andrew Carnegi3 to be u>ed in
erecting a Library Building. The
Library Committee of last year had
already began this work and il is the
intention OF the present committee to
COuUlHuC Ulllo "uI dL1u IL EOSSIDlo
secure a donation for this purpose
this year.
To that end Miss SteaFns gave her
illustrated lecture few weeks ago in
the Methodist church.
She explained many points not
generally well undel stood, in acce pting
donations from Mr.. Carnegie and
gave US some good ideas of other
library buildings inside and out.
She found that by appropIiating
few more dollars year than we now
do for Library expense we might have
with Mr.. Carnegie's help, fine new
900 Library Building.
We hope little later to bring all
the facts of the matter before our
Mayor and Common Council in such q
way, that they may be convinced of
the desirability Of securing this
unusual offer before it is too late.
The chance to secure a building valued
at $4,000, for the simple matter of
agreeing to care properly for it, seems
to most Of our members too good an
opportunity TO be lost
Another object of the Library Com
mittee has been to increase our Book
Circulation. We have splendid
cOllc ction Of books, out we do not use
them enough. Towns with less popu-
lation, draw more books in year
from their Public Library than we do.
Why is this?
The Library Committee have
arranged to hold in January for one
week an Exhibit of Old Relics and
CurioS. at the present Library rooms.
1t is hoped that this exhibit may
attract people to the Library and
in seeing this exhibit, they will also
see other things which will create an
interest 10 our Library, and later lead
to further use of our really fine col
lectiOnS Of books.
The interest and co operation Of
every mem Der Of the Federation is
needed in accomplishing these two
objects: the securing Of a Library
Building and the increasing of our
book circulation.
L feel sure we may confidently count
upon the help of every member to
further these ends, and if that is the
case, we are bound eventually to
accomplish both purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. w. F. Kellogg

REV. FRED STAFF
CALLED TO BELO|T
The Pastor of the First Congre-
gationaI Church has Received
a Call From the Second Con-
gregational Church in BeIoit.

By a unanimous vote the members
OF the Second Congr egational church
last night at the annual meeting
decided to extend call to Rev. Fred
Staff of Grand Rapids to become the
pastor of the local church.
The action was taken following
the report of the committee appoint
ed some time ago to take up the mat
ter of securing a permanent pastor.
The committee, through Judge
Rosa, chairman, reported that Mr..
Staff had been asked by Prof. Blais-
dell whether he would consider an
off er by the church in case the con-
gregation decided to call him. Mr..
Staff replied that he would give tho
matter his prayerful consideration
and intimated that it met with his
favor
DoWd Makes Motion.
The motion to call Mr.. Staff was
made by R. j. Dowd, who spoke
highly of the minister, saying he be-
lleVed him to be a bright, forceful
man, who would just fill the needs
of the congregation. The vote was
taken and resulted as stated. A COM
mittee composed of the assistant
moderator, Glenville Dowd, the
clerk, A. G. Henry and the chair
man of the committee, Judge Rosa,
was appointed to draft and send the
call to Mr.. Staff.
That the selection of Mr.. Staff is
a wise one, seemed to be the opinion
OF all who expressed themselves.
Judge Rosa told of Investigations he
had made of the minister's work in
Fort Atkinson, a former charge,
where he found that Mr.. Staff was
universally beloved and that his de-
parture to another field was regret
ted by all but one person, a saloon
keeper, who kept a dive and who
had been made to close up his place
by the little minister
