ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.

The banquet and observation of
Columbus day by the Knights of Col
bus last Thursday evening was very
successful affair and was very largely
attended. Elks' hall was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. The
supper was gotten up and served by
the ladies of st. James church and
was bounteous, appetizing and well
served. Following the supper r. G.
Deutsch, grand knight, made an ad-
dress of welcome and w. G. Brawley
introduced the first speaker of the
evening. The balance of the program
was carried out as published in this
paper last week. Dancing was the
final thing on the program and the
rs or more couples present entered in
to it with spirit of enjoyment which
denoted that they were well pleased
with the entertainment afforded by
the local society. There were quite a
few guests present from surrounding
cities.

EIGHT CLUB LEAGUE.

The annual meeting of the NV.
base ball league directors was held in
Duluth last Tuesday, the Wausau
club being represented by President
w. r. Bryan. At this meeting two
important steps were taken. 1t was
decided to make an eight club league
of the organization and the daily
guaranty to visiting clubs was fixed
at $50. The cities of Winnipeg, Man
kato, Hibbing, Virginia City, Red
Wing and Rochester have asked for
place in the league. At the meeting
of Tuesday it was not decided what
towns would be admitted, but this
will be determined at meeting to be
held in January. w. r. Bryan of
this city, A. w. Kuehnow of Duluth
and Pres. John Elliott of Lacrosse
form a committee which will recon-
mend the admission of the two cities.
Notwithstanding its distance from
the other cities, it is almost certain
that Winnipeg, Can, will be one of
those admitted, because Of It's large
population and enthusiasm over base
ball.
Instead of guaranteeing visiting
clubs 535, as has been the rule hereto
fore, the home club will hereafter be
obliged to pay $50, unless the visitors
exercise their option of taking per-
centage of the gate receipts. This
does not hold good on rainy days, the
rain guaranty remaining the same,
$50. This action was brought about
through a protest from Superior,
which claimed that only once last
season did 1t pay the guaranty while
it was often forced to take the guar
anty while on the road, thereby los
ing money.
1t was decided to leave the salary
limit as at present, 81 800 exclusive of
manager The salary limit was OBJ
served last season by all clubs.
President Elliott was reelected and
was instructed TO secure the best UNI
pires to be obtained for next season,
even at raise In salary.
The contested game on the last
day of the season between Lacrosse
and Winona, which ended In a row,
was decided no contest. This decision
puts Eau Claire in second position in
stead of being tied with Winona,
and leaves the latter and La Crosse
tied for third position.
Duluth was formally presented with
the pennant, won the past season.
President Elliott was instructed to
attend the annual meeting OF the
National Association of Base Ball
clubs TO be held in Memphis, Tenn,
in December.
just what acton will be taken al
the January meeting Of the league
with reference to Wausau Of course
cannot be foretold. 1t may be de-
cided TO retain Wausau or We may
be kicked out and another city sub
stituted.

GRAND COMMANDERY.

The Grand Commandery of the
state of Wisconsin met in annual con-
clave at Ashland last Tuesday and
Wednesday. The great storm which
prevailed on those days kept many
from attending from various parts of
the state, nevertheless every subdrdi-
nate cosnmahdery was represented,
which lii itself made large gather
ing. The Sir Knights of Ashland had
made arrangements for boat ride
out on the lake and an automo-
bile ride about the city, but the in
clemency of the weather prevented.
Many ladies accompanied their hus-
bands on this trip and were royalty
entertained by the ladies of Ashland.
The business of the Grand Com
mandery was concluded at noon on
Wednesday, and on the afternoon of
that day large delegation went to
Superior to assist in the dedication of
the new temple in that city, which is
one of the most beautiful in this
country. II. IL. Grace, formerly of
this city, was one of the few men of
that city who started the movement
which resulted in the building of this
beautiful structure. The following

TO make MONEY.

The best and easiest way to save
money is to put a little aside each
week, say dollar, and hold steadfastly
to your purpose. Get one of the home
savings banks at the National German
American bank, and deposit fixed
sum each week. This will grow and
help work for large savings, and will
encourage you to save more for the

rrNprNa A wAY ouT.

Plainly the theory of the Republican leaders is. that when . statesnaah doesn't 1t the law they must make the law it him. That is the way they aFe liking up to make Senator Fhii- ander c. Knox. of Pennslyvania. siigi- ble to hold the place of Secretary of state in Tafts Cabinet. As Knox was Senator when Congress raised the salary of Cabinet officers from eight to twelve thousand dollars year. the Constitution bars him from an office where the pay has been increased dur ing his term as Senator. or during the time for which he was elected. That would bar Knox, but they get around 1t by repeating so much of the salary bill as applies to the office of Secretary of State. Thus he will only receive eight thousand dollars a year, and theoretically at least. the pay of the office will not have been increased during the term for which he was elected Senator.
 This really seems like a speak easy" way of getting around con- stitutIonal fence, but the sonndest law years on both sides seem agreed that the plan is proper and practical. and that no valid objection can be made to it. That the leaders of the party should have been discovered a way out of what seemed an inextricable tangIe, is not so strange but 1t does look somewhat strange that. with so many statesmen in the Republican party there should be but one capable of filling the important. position of Secretary of State. At least, they ap- parently thought there was but one, or they would not have taken so much trouble to fit the law to his case. We are not saying that he is not fully up to the requirements of the high post to which Taft would call him, but if he is the only man so qualified his party is poorer than we thought.
 It Is but fair to note that some of fhe lawyer-statesmen in Congress have and express their doubts as to the efficiency of the proposed meas ure, and are of the opinion that re- ducinE the salary of the Secretary of State will not cure the constitutional dificulty in the way of MT Knox's ap- pointment. That, however, is a mat ter that must be settled by the Senate itself when the new cabinet appoint ments come before that body for con- frmation. If MT. Knox is confirmed we suppose that will be the end of the tangle.
