TWO FOR CHAIR MAN OF PROM
" Red Parker and Jimmy" Adams in
Field for Honor of Arranging
Wisconsin Affair.

Madison.--Although the university
of Wisconsin Junior prom" is more
than three months off, two candidates
for the honor of general chairman
are already in the field.
Reed l.. (''Red') Parker of South
Bend, Ind, and Reeve (''Jimmy")
Adams of Appleton, Wis, are the
two aspirants for the honor of ar
ranging the affair which is the acme
of the years social activities at the
university.
Parker has achieved fame as a
cheer leader and is one of the heroes
of the student body. He is the first
real yell master that the Badgers
have had and is largely responsible
for the increase in enthusiasm shown
by the student body in athletic con-
tests of the last few years. Decked
In his red sweater, he has been a IA
mlllar sight at all of the big foot
ball games, and he is known in all
the conference colleges He is a
member Of Phi Kappa Psi.
Adams is one of the best athletes
~ DoNSOl6 nave udu III IStSHJ
he first sprang into the limelight at
the close of the basketball season,
when he went in as center and was
responsible in large measure for the
Badgers success in their home games.
Last spring he was one of the stars
OF the track team, capturing many
points in the dual meets and adding
to the Wisconsin total in the confer
ence. He is member of Theta Del
ia Chi fraternity.
The junior class is already PLAN
ming on a promenade that will eclipse
anything held here since the price of
tickets was lowered to a democratic
standard. 1t is expected that the IS
tickets Of year ago will prevail
again this year, last years event
proving a big success in every way.
1t was proved that the establishment
OF a So rate made it possible for as
many 'barbs" to attend as did when
the price was lowered to So, at which
time the committee were kept busy
for long time making up deficits.

MADE FIRST TELEPHON E
Henry Bergman Constructed Crude
instruments From Sketch Shown
Him by Druggist.

Appleton.-Henry Bergman, the
veteran gun and locksmith of this
city, bears the distinction of having
made the first telephone ever used
in the city of Appleton. In all Mr..
Bergman made eleven telephones,
and he still has in his possession
some of the material used in the
manufacture of the long distance
talking machines which were such a
wonder to the people of Appleton
when the first one made an appear
ance here.
Mr.. Bergman says that in 1878
Louis Benoit, who was then propri-
etor of drug store, came to him and
asked him if he could make a tele-
phone. The mechanic had never
heard of such a thing. But from a
sketch which Mr.. Benoit showed him
he manufactured a telephone, as an
experiment, and as it seemed to meet
the demands of Mr.. Benoit, he made
another for actual use in the drug
store, and three more, one each for
DR.. Reilly, DR.. Reeve, the elder, and
DR.. Stansbury, all of whom are now
dead, but who were then we'll known
physicians with large practices.
The switch board was set up in the
drug store When Mr.. Benoit wished
TO talk to one of the three men of
medicine he switched the apparatus
over to connect with that physicians
telephone; and when one of the doc
tors wished to talk to the pharmacist
he simply rang him ur. There was
no central.
Later Mr. Bergman made five
more telephones for Sam Henry, a
Neenah druggist of those days.
II is a tribute to Mr., Bergman's
ability as a mechanic that he not
only constructed the wooden parts
of the telephones, but made the mag
net. the coils, and every part OF the
instrument. also the switchboard,
and set the telephones and switch
board in place.

NOTED VETERAN
IS N|NETY-F|VE
is THE GUEST OF HONOR AT A
DINNER ESPECIALLY PRE-
PARED FOR HIM.
FOUGHT IN THREE WARS
James A. Rape, Who is Believed to
be the Oldest Living Cyclist in
the World, Was SaIuted by
President Mckinley.

Marinette.-James A. Rape, vet
eran of three wars and believed to
be the oldest cyclist in the world
recently observed his ninety-fifth
birthday anniversary.
Although he has given up riding
his wheel, except at rare intervals
during the last year, his health is
good and he has the coloring of a
strong man of As in his cheeks. He
makes a trip uptown every day on
foot and was the guest of honor at
a dinner in local hotel by a large
number of his friends.
Mr.. Rape fought in the Mexican
war, the Seminole Indian war and
the civil war After the civil war he
lived for time in Fond du Lac and
Hermansville. He came to Marinette
in 1885.
In 1899 Mr.. Rape walked 700
miles to attend the grand army en-
campment and covered the distance
in twenty-seven and half days. The
next year he planned to walk to Phil
adelphia for the same purpose, but
was persuaded to ride a wheel. He
learned to ride in ten days and made
the trip from Marinette to Philadel-
phia in thirty days.
In Philadelphia the aged veteran
rode near the head of the big parade
and was saluted by President McKin-
ley from the reviewing stand. After
the encampment his trip was contin-
ued to Camden, N. j., where the old
warrior was extended many honors
by citizens. From that time on he
rode a wheel much until the present
year.
James A. Rape was born in Fort
Stanwix, n. Y, on Sept. 13, 1915,
near where the present city of Rome
now stands.

FIRST WOMAN COURT CLERK
Miss Blythe, Racine, Thought to Be
Pioneer Woman in Position in
Southern Wise onsin.

Racine.-For the first time in the
history of Racine and it is thought in
the history of southern Wisconsin, a.
woman has been appointed clerk of
the circuit court.
Miss Helen Blythe, who for several
years has been deputy clerk of the
court at Racine, has been appointed
in place of Lemuel Owens, who has
resigned to take a position in st.
Paul.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
Miss Blythe should obtain this Of
fee. At the last primary election
she was urged to run for the office by
business men and lawyers of the city,
but ON writing for an opinion from
the attorney general she received in
formation that this course would be
without precedent and without legal
sanction. So she gave up thoughts of
entering the race.
On Mr.. Owens receiving a respon-
sibe position in st. Paul, which re-
Quired his whole attention immedi-
ately, he rendered his resignation to
J udge Beden and other county Off
GERS to take effect on Oct. and
recommended that Miss Blythe be ap-
pointed TO act as clerk until the first
of January, the expiration of Mr..
Owens's term. Miss Blythe's work
was so satisfactory that the Judge
acted on Lemuel Owenss suggestion,
and now Miss Blythe is clerk of the
circuit court, despite the decision of
( the attorney general of Wisconsin.

elected by the regents to the presi-
dency of the University of Wisconsin

out from this city to that effect.
His appointment to the presidency
by the regents in 1904, he pointed
out. was for an unlimited term, as
has always been the case with the
president of the university.
The story that Prof e. J. Turner
of the department of American his

pronounced false by President Van
Hise.

GREEKS WANT AN EDUCATION
Group of Foreigners Calls on School
Superintendent and Asks for
Night School.

Fond du LaC.-The establishment
of night school for Greek youths of
the city will be suggested to the
board of education by Supt. Guy d.
Smith.
A delegation of Greek youths
called upon the uperintendent some
days ago to interest him in the mat
ter and In this they succeeded. They
desire a general elementary educa-
ton, particularly in reading and
writing of the English language.
There were four young men in the
delegation which waited upon the
superintendent and they were enthu-
siastic over the idea of having a
night school
According to the delegation, such
school would be attended by at
least fifty young men of the Greek
colony who are anxious to have an
education in English. These men are
employed during the day either in the
Moore and Galloway plant or the
plant of the Fred Rueping Leather
company.
