902, south bound, which formerly ar
rived at 10:40 a. M, now arrives at
at 2:15 p m. Neither of these trains
connect with anything on the main

AID IN FIGHTING
"WHITE PLAGUE"
Fraternal Orders Of Rusk County
will Furnish Two Cottages at
Colorado Springs Sanatorium

The 1908 Head Camp of the Modern
Woodmen of America appropriated
over million dollars toward the found
ing of tuberculosis Sanatorium The
whole amount and more has been ex-
pended in purchasing and fitting up a
1320-acre tract near Colorado Springs,
Colo. This is the first institution of
it's kind and the magnitude of the
undertaking and the spirit prompting
the enterprise has excited the admir-
alton of the civilized world The U. S.
Government has just donated an ad-
joining 600 acres to the project.
Already the original sixty tent-cot-
tages, provided for patients, are oc-
cupied and other sufferers are denied
admission because of lack Of accom-
modations. The equipment is ample
for caring for many times sixty, but
lack of funds has limited the number
of these individual houses.
The Modern Woodmen Camps of
Rusk County, Wisconsin, have under
taken to build and furnish two of these
tent-cottages, at cost of $3.50 each,
and invite the cooperation of mem
bers of other fraternities and citizens
generally in this benevolent enterprise
for suffering humanity.
This movement, which is general
over the entire Woodmen jurisdiction,
was started in Rusk county last Satur-
day night by Ladysmith Camp. The
other camps of the. county will be
asked to cooperate, and 500 cards
good for 81 each" have been printed
to be used in conducting the campaign.

ELECTED CHAIRMAN
organization of New County Board
IS Occasion for Pyrotechnics.-
Move for County Roads

The contest for the Craftsmanship OF
the county board of supervisors, Tues
day, while perhaps of less moment
Than some previous years, was the
most exciting ever experienced in Rusk
county. The board was called to order
promptly at p. m. by Chairman A.
+. Helm. The call for the special ses-
sion was read, and nominations for
chairman declared to be in order.
All members were present as follows:
j. z. Arpin, Atlanta; Tom Foster, Big
Bend; A. M. Barrett, Bruce; A. +.
Helm, Dewey; L. w. Bierman, Flam-
beau; V. V. Miller, Grant; J. w. Died
rich, Grow; c. P. Ellingson, Hawkins;

True; P. Gourdoux, Washington; j. G..
Stubbs, Weyerhauser; l.. V. Kinyon,
Willard; o. E. Peterson, Geo. Manley
and G. B. Goocher of Ladysmith
Supervisor Archie Barrett, in pre-
senting the name of J. c. Stubbs of
Weyerhauser, called attention to his
long and faithful service on the board,
one year as chairman, and stated that
he had kept free from any political en-
tanglement with contending factions.
Before further nominations were
made the question of the manner of
voting was raised 1t was proposed by
Supervisor o. E. Peterson that the old
established custom of voting by ballot
be ignored and that the vote be taken
by roll call He said that the constitu-
ents of the various members had a
right to know how they voted on so i'm
portant question. Supervisor Thos.
Foster favored the open ballot, while
Barrett objected. The vote upon the
question stood 6 for roll call and 16
against, although it was manifest that
several of the board did not vote the
way they intended.
1t was during the discussion of this
question that the fireworks began and
after the result was announced Super
visor Peterson took the floor and
stated that he stood for "a square deal
as against personal privilege in the
equalization of the valuation of per-
sonal property. He was opposed to a
continuation of the domination in coun-
ty affairs of Helm, Arpin and Coon, and
therefore opposed Mr.. Stubbs for
chairman. He made some assertions
concerning last years equalization
committee, to which Mr.. Foster, who
was chairman of that committee, re-
piled. Mr.. Peterson then made the
statement that one lumber company
had been assessed for $4,000 when the
actual value of their stock on hand was
5000, ,OOO The next day Mr.. Peterson
said that this statement was errone GUS
and that he had been misinformed.)

q s'ClasS' Country

The city of Alton had ordinance forbidding the loca
ton of saloon within 200 feet of church, school, public
library Y. NJ G. A.
The story told in these columns recently of how this
ordinance in spite Of protests from the institutions
cerned and from ministers and temperance people generally
amended by the city council permit the opening
Of bar in hotel erected just opposite the Episcopal
church and the Y. M. G. A.
This is in striking with the action of Governor
Hughes of New York. who promptly vetoed bill designed
permit the opening Of bar in the restaurant Of
New York city erected within 200 feet Of the
School for Ethical Culture The bill adroty drawn and
appeared be general in it's character but known
to be in the interest of this particular theaer.
The bill provided that saloon might be established within
the prescribed limits if the propretors of
private school should give their consent therefor The
managers Of School for Ethical Culture under
stood to be wiing.'
Hughes vetoed the bill the ground that the
law prohibiting the sale of liquor within 200 feet of
school designed for the protection OF the school chill
dren and that school managers cannot take away from the
children by private agreement the protection with which
the law has fit to surround them
This argument is sound says the Outlook But if
the pupils Ethical Culture School could not be injured
by the proximity the theaer bar the veto nevertheless

tion-one of the most serious evils in American politics.
Laws should be framed for the benefit of the entire
muny and should be applicable to the entire community,
and in order to besow privileges particular indi
vduals special groups of individuals.

Governor Hughes enorces namely that there not

Limc0lm' SV0te Explained

Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, in his debates with Dr. Dcke
the Prohibition question: makes much ado the fact
that Abraham Lincoln member OF the Illinois
Legislature against bill for statewide prohibition Of
the liquor traffic
Mr. Alonzo g. Wilson has put into few paragraphs for
the Northwestern Christian Advocate the exact facts rea
tive to this circumstance He first calls attention to the
fact that while Mr. Lincoln did vote against ewde pro-
hbon he is charged with having voted against local
option the thing that giving Mayor Roses clients much
trouble.
Mr. Wilson says
"a number Of counties in 1889 pettoned the Legis-
lature for statewide prohibition, Montgomery County
already being dry This considered by the
mittee judiciary of which John j. Harden Of Jack
sonvie chairman. He later General Harden
who killed in the Mexican War. They presented
very able and strong document, which | have before
me- but the committee recommended county option
bill, which passed by overwhelming ma ority
E'When it second reading for amendment,
Representative Murphy, liquor and possibly
loon keeper Of Chicago said if they wanted prohibition
he would give them a dose of it, and introduced
prohibition bill out of spite revenge. The tenn
perance stood together and voted against because
they had agreed upon county option, and all of them,
including Mr.. Lincoln voted for the county option bill
E'Mr Lincoln not necessarily against prohibition
by his vote, only eight presumably most OF them
liquor men, voted for state prohibition, but in 1855 Mr..
Lincoln made speeches, and recorded his vote for the
Maine law which was up for adoption at special
election in June, 1855"
This pretty thoroughly cleans the matter Of Lincoln s
attitude toward the liquor problem indicated by his vote
in the Illinois Legislature

The tax rate for State purposes has
been fixed at 30 cents on the 800 by
Governor Deneen, Auditor Mccullough
and Treasurer Russell. who constitute
the State tax commission. Last year

der the old two.hfths rule It was
$l.?63.500.4S2. The ratio under the

on the $f00 under the two-fifths rule.
