The Tnter=NOrmal OratOrical
Contest

The Contest has come and gone,
is lost and won. This event toward
which the whole community and the
Normal School especially has been
looking for more than year, has
come to pass, is now memory and
a record. Nearly year ago the
Queen Esther play was given to
secure funds to help pay expenses
of the contest. Since then it has
been an item of frequent MENTION
when the Contest comes.
The actual time of occurrence of
the contest was Friday evening,
March 19, 1909, and the place the
Methodist church. 1t began, really,
when the morning train came in
bringing fully seventy-tive delegates
from other schools. The second
installment was delivered at the
mass meeting in the Normal Assem-
bly Room that afternoon and the
climax was reached in the church
about twelve O'Clock that night
when the decision of the judges was
made known.
Friday morning found the town
gay in spirits, mild in weather, and
bright in red and white bunting
especially the Normal School and
Main street.
The Building had been turned
over to two committees of decora-
ton, one in general and one in
particular decoration. The general
decoration was to be found in halls
and office and consisted largely of
long streamers of red and white
bunting and green plants. The
arrangement was wholly PLEASING
and simple enough for anyone's
taste. This committee decorated
the church too. The places Of dele
gates were marked by their school
colors while the grill work at the
front of the church was covered
with smilax and carnations in long
strings, held in test tubes full Of
water to keep them fresh. The
committee deserves congratulation
for effectiveness Of work done. The
special committee deserves no less
of praise for the manner in which it
fixed the gymnasium up in ga, 1ress
Of school colors and banners for all
the six visiting schools, Milwaukee,
Oshkosh, Whitewater, Platteville,
Stevens Point, and Superior.
The Main street had displayed
some eleven hundred yards of red
and white bunting, in steamers
from the lights hanging in the
center of cross-streets to the four
posts at the four street corners.
Some stores made individual dis
plays. The general display was the
result of united efforts of business
men on the street and was worth
while.
Now we are nearly ready to re-
ceive the visitors. Plans had been
we'll laid and through generous re-
SponSeS and offers from the citizens
there were plenty of good homes
ready to open to receive the ex-
pected guests of the school. The
most interesting item was the dis
tribution Of the guests. The com.
mittee on entertainment was equal
to the occasion and sent three men
of the school to Hudson to meet all
corners that morning, get their
names, arrange them on cards with
the name of a guide added and the
homes at which the visitors were, tc
be entertained. When the train
came in the guides names were
called. Each got his party and in {
very few minutes all were being
shown to their temporary quarters
1t all worked without hitch. Con
CALCULATIONS are due this committee
too.

Some idea of the effort required
to send delegation is given in the
statement made here, viz; that it
cost between $500 and $500 to see
the Platteville delegation through.
II seems big to Us but we have no
grounds on which to challenge the
statement.
Among those delegations were
the following named people: Prof.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a WARMING to
Every Man and Woman.


Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire's of.
fer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-
STA to run from bad to worse until in
the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspep-
STA for a few years will give everything
he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspep is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing. The absence
of this destroys the function of the
gastric fluids. They lose their power
to digest food.
We are now able to supply the miss
ing element-to restore to the gastric !
juices their digestive power, and to
make the stomach strong and we'll.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia |
Tablets will positively and perma-
nently cure disordered stomachs, in
digestion and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money If you are not
more than satisfied with the result.

ELIXIR OF LIFE
WILL BE TESTED

Norwalk, Conn, Sept. 11.-Thad
fietze, the Austrian scientist, who
stirred the world of science this week
by declaring that he had at last dis
covered an elixir of life by which he
could bring the dead back to life,
has secured subject who is willing
to submit himself to the experiment.
This man is G. w. Reese of Kansas
City, Mo-, who writes that under GER
tain financial conditions he will sub
nit himself for the experiment.
Professor Tietze has wired that he
will accept the condition. Reese only
wanted a demonstration of the power
of the elixir of life on an animal and
then he would place himself in the
hands of the professor to kill and
resurrect for the sum of $1,000. Pro-
fessor Tietze recently came into a
big estate in his own country, from
which he was banished because of his
advanced ideas, and this stipulation
was no objection. If no subject was
secured Professor Tietze was so con-
fident that he intended to submit the
treatment to other hands and himself
become the subject He also has
plans to form a large stock company
and build an institution for the per-
fection and application of his dis
covery. His contention is that any
animal that died an unnatural death
can be resuscitated within five hours
of the time that respiration ceased
He buries his subject in a compound
and creates new life.

boy with shining face and snail-like
pace" this morning. For be it known
that this is the opening of the Pen
dleton city schools.
With clothes brushed, shoes shined
and face and hands clean to the point
of painfulness, hundreds of boys and
girls wended their way to the various
seats of learning throughout the city.
As the different schools were let out at
different hours for the pupils to secure
their books without causing crush
in the book stores the pupils could be
seen singly, in pairs and in groups in
every direction. Though the holidays
are over a sort of holiday spirit pre-
vaded the air for there is always
certain amount Of attraction to the
opening day and were it not for the
dimning influence of the thoughts of
the days to come, there would be
nothing but rejoicing.
Though the enrolment will not be
completed until tomorrow 1t is appar-
ent that the opening registration is
going to be greater than ever before
in the history of the city, This was
expected, however, as 1t was dlscov-
cred several days ago that every de-
sirable dwelling house in the city had
been rented as well as many that were
not desirable but had been taken be-
cause there was nothing else left.
The greatest gains will probably be
noted in the North side and East end
schools and 1t is possible that it will
be necessary to fit up the only re-
naming unoccupied room in the city
and employ an additional teacher
This room is in the North side school
building. 9.
AS result of the conference Sat
turday morning between City Super
intendent Landers and his staff of
teachers everything in connection with
the opening of the term went off
without hitch. The plan of dismiss
ing the schools at different times to
permit the buying of new books prov
ed entirely successful and highly sat
isfactory to teachers, pupils and book
sellers. The usual bookstore rush was
avoided.
Academy Opens Also.
This was also the opening day for
the school year of the Pendleton Acad-
envy. Many new students were en-
rolled, still others are expected to ar
rive this evening and tomorrow, 50

increased attendance over former
years. The opening address will be
