Likes North Wisconsin

C. M Andrews and M. j Bergh, pres
ident and cashier of the Hazel Green,
Wis, State Bank, were guests of j. O..
Sinclair the first of the week. Al
though holding several securities in
Ladysmith and vicinity, this was their
first visit here, and it is unnecessary to
say that they were more than satisfied
with the prospects of both the city and
surrounding country.
Mr. Andrews, who is cattle buyer
and feeder, remained several days and
drove into the country in all directions.
He was very enthusiastic over the pro-
life growth of grass to be found in the
woods, along the roads, everywhere
that the sunlight could penetrate. He
predicted that this is the coming dairy
section of Wisconsin and urged farmers
whom he met to clear off the brush and
increase their pasture land, leaving the
stumps for future consideration. 1t is
safe to say that he will be booster
for North Wisconsin in future.

Runaway Accident

While out riding last Thursday, Mrs.
Nate Hand and daughter Bernice, aged
6, met with very serious accident.
When about half way down the Mena-
sha hill, just across the river, part of
the harness broke, frightening the
horse. The horse made quick turn
throwing Mrs. Hand out between the
wheel and thills. The little girl fell on
top of her in such way that her hair,
which was tied up, and part of her
scalp was torn loose, and her head and
arms badly bruised, Mrs. Hand was
not very seriously injured. She man
aged to turn the horse toward tele-
phone pole, striking which stopped
him. The little girl was unsconscious
for four days after the accident, but is
impr owing.

Statement OF Election Expenses

The statements of election expenses
required by law to be sworn to and
filed by candidates after election, will
probably not be filed by most of the
defeated candidates at the primary
election until after the general election,
as the law has been construed to per-
nit of such delay.
V. V. Miller is the first to file his
expense account for his campaign for
the republican nomination for sheriff.
1t is quite minutely itemized, the total
being $173.50 He spent $70.75 with
the newspapers for advertising and
printing, $47.50 for livery hire, S45. Is
for railroad fare, hotel bills and treat
ing and $40 for one mans time canvass
ing.
1t is rumered that one candidat e
spent over $1,000.

it is asserted, has been reached in the
presentation of the stirring saw-mill

A HUNTING ACCIDENT
Contractor Ule of Stevens Point Shot
While After Birds

The Stevens Point Daily Journal
gives the following account of hunt
ing accident, which happened in this
vicinity last week, the victim being
Contractor Ule, whose home is in Stew
ems Point Mr. Ule built the Sulphite
mill in this city for the Menasha Paper
Co. last year and this season is putting
in a large power plant at Jim Falls in
Chippewa county.
W. E. Ule is at home from Ladysmith
nursing number of wounds which he
received while prairie chicken shooting
near that place last Thursday morning.
With a party of Eau Claire men he
went out along the Flambeau river in
quest of the feathered game. In cross
ing field they ran into large covey
of birds, and expected to make fine
killing. Mr.. Ule was successful in
bringing down two of the birds, the
gentleman to his right trying for one,
too. The gun in the hands of his friend
missed fire and was lowered from the
shoulder and he started to open the gun
at the breach, when the cartridge was
in some way discharged. Part of the
charge of fine shot hit Mr.. Uie in the
right side, above the waist line, and
three hit him in the cheek and head.
Mr.. Ule was knocked down but was
able to arise and walk with the party
to the auto and was taken to Ladysmith
for treatment. "A doctor was sum-
moned and his wounds dressed by eau
terizing, none of the shots being re-
moved. He remained in Ladysmith un-
til Saturday, when ne returned to his
home here. He is able to be up and
about, but is in considerable pain. In
one sense it might be called fortu-
nate accident, as Mr.. Ule would no
doubt have been killed outright had not
the breach of the gun been open so as
to allow the cartridge to be forced from
the barrel, when the explosion came.
The accident happened at very close
range, distance of about forty or fif-
ty feet.
Mr.. Ule states that he does not blame
any one for the mishap; it was just one
of those unfortunate hunting accidents
which can not even be laid to careless
ness.

Socialist Doctrine

VIM. A. Jacobs, Socialist candidate
for governor of Wisconsin, delivered an
interesting address at the opera house
Monday evening to a fair sized audi
ence. In an impressive and dramatic
manner he described what Socialism
does and does not propose. In this
connection ex-President Roosevelt
came in for a roast. He said that La
Follette's plans for regulating the
trusts would meet with failure, and
predicted that the Stalwarts and Half
Breeds would get together before the
campaign was over. The Democratic
party in lis opinion is quite dead and
the political contests of the future will
be between the Republicans and the
Socialists. His story of the steady
growth of Socialism in Milwaukee eX-
cited the admiration of his hearers.
His speech for the most part was an
appeal to the prejudice of labor against
capital. Although many abuses men
toned are recognized, they are what
the Progressives of all parties are now
fighting to correct, and the present
battle must be won before we consider
the more advanced ideas of the Social
ist propaganda.

LAUNCH STRIKES dead HEAD
Five Picnickers Have Marrow Escape
from Drowning

A company of school teachers, chap
eroned by Mrs. G. S. Conklin, were
being piloted up the river Saturday
afternoon by JAG Speich Jr. in his big
launch Helen" They were going up
to Speich's cottage at the head of the
backwater to spend Sunday away from
the noise and turmoil of the city.
When opposite the country home of t.
NJ Thomas the launch struck one of
the submerged piling in the centre pier
of the old bridge, which formerly stood
at that point. The boat was going at
a good rate of speed and struck the
"dead-head" squarely, which threw
the prov clear of the water, tearing a
big hole in the bottom and holding it
there. 1t so happened that the picnick-
ers were towing row-boat up to their
camp, into which they scrambled with
out delay, but not without getting a
wetting. They were taken to Mr..
Thomas, where they dried their clothes
and waited the arrival of another launch,
which was telephoned for, and proceed
ed on their way rejoicing over their
escape.
Those composing the party were
Misses Nellie Wightman, Hermie Mar
tin and Doris Bunker and Mr.. Albert
Conklin and his mother.
The damage to the launch is esti-
mated at $100. Although 'dead-heads"
are quite numerous in the river, this is
the first accident of the kind that has
ever happened here. There is some
talk now among launch owners of or
ganizing next season to clear the river
of obstacles as soon as the log drive
has passed.

n. j. Sands "Sky-Scraper"

The new three-story brick building
erected by r. j. Sands on Miner ave-
nue. just east of the Baker hotel, is
nearing completion, the brick work be-
ing finished the first of the week and
the roof nearly all timed before the
rains of yesterday.
This is one of the most substantially
constructed and most attractive build
ings in the city. The dimensions are
"a x ITO, the main part being three
stories in height, extending back 80 feet.
The rear 80 feet is one story, the roof
sloping toward the front, the water be-
ing carried off into the sewer.
The first floor and basement will be

tory. The outside stairway on the
west side of the building is entirely OF
iron, and rises at an easy grade.
The front is of red pressed brick and
rises 46 feet above the street. 1t is
higher than any other building in the
city and from the roof can be had fine
view of the surrounding country fol-
miles. All modern improvements, in
cluding bath, electric lights, and steam
heat, are being put in.
Mr.. Sands is justly proud of his new
building. He expects to have it ready
for occupancy November /.

COUNTY FAIR SUCCESS

The annual Rusk County Fair, which
concluded at Bruce Saturday was pro-
nounced by all who attended to be
superior to it's predecessors, both in
agricultural and other displays as we'll
as in the special attractions secured by
the management. 1t was also more
successful from a financial standpoint,
we are informed by the officers, as
they will come nearer paying out this
year than ever before. The weather
was good, being fair and warm, and
the attendance was good all three days.
Friday (Ladysmith Day. there were
over 5000 people on the grounds, and
Saturday the attendance exceeded 1000.
In the ball games Ladysmith defeated
Hawkins the first day by score of Z
to S. Glen Flora won from Ladysmith
Friday by score of 13 to 2. Saturday
the same two teams were to have
played, but the game was called off.
The poultry house was filled to over
flowing and it was remarked that there
had been decided improvement in the
grade of fowls exhibited since the Fair
started four years ago. This was also
true in the cattle department. There
was also noticeable Improvement in
the horses entered. There was but
small showing of sheep and hogs. The
Port Arthur Farm and Stock Co. exhib-
tied their thoroughbred white swine.

BUY A STUMP FULLER
FARMERS OF TOWN OF GROW
ORGANIZE TO CLEAR LAND
TO ExEMPLIFY MODERN METHODS
One of These Machines in Every Town
Would Make a Vast Change
In a Very Few Years

Thanks to the untiring boosting"
of Ben F. Faast of Conrath in demon
strating what his steam stump-puller
can do, a movement is now on foot to
clear up large section of country ly-
ing southeast of this city. The farmers
of the town of Grow, most of whom
already have their land pretty well
cleared of brush, are organizing a
stock company to buy and own stump
puller of the improved pattern men
toned in these columns few months
ago. When first suggested it was
doubted whether sufficient funds could
be secured to finance the plan, about
Sd, 900 being needed, but that obstacle
has been overcome, and Frank Rada,
who is the moving spirit in the under
taking, now thinks it will prove ''go." "
All the details of the plan are not yet
worked out, but stock company will
own the machine and certain amount
of land will be cleared for each of the
stockholders each year, the machine
being operated by an expert. In this
way they will be enabled to put that
much more into crops and thus pay the
interest of the investment, besides in
creasing the value of their land.
If the experiment proves a success,
it will not be long until enterprizing
farmers in other localities will take up
the plan. There will be no difficulty in
financing such undertakings, as there
are plenty of people who are interested
in this country and have faith in its
possibilities, who will gladly promote
any feasible plan for its development.

EVANGELIST COMPLIMENTS CITY
But Says the Saloons Counteract the
Good Here

But Says the Saloons Counteract the
Good Here
In his discourse Wednesday evening,
Evangelist Romig said that Ladysmith
presented natural advantages and pos
sibilities the equal of which he had
never seen in a city of it's age and pop
ulation. With manufacturing plants
of permanent nature giving employ
ment to large number of men, with
schools and school buildings far in ad-
vance of other cities of larger size,
with numerous water powers in all dl-
rection which are guarantee Of the
future of this section as a manufactur-
ing centre, surrounded by rich agri-
cultural country awaiting development,
the citizens of Ladysmith have much
to be thankful to Providence for in
casting their lot in such a favored loca-
ton.
"Yet," he said, ''you have saloons
enough in Ladysmith to drag the whole
populace down into hell-more than
enough, three to one, to counteract the
elevating infcence of your schools and
churches. Mr. Romig is an evangelist
of wide experience and has seen and
felt the demoralizing influence of the
saloon in other places where he has
worked, and he does not hesitate to
handle the liquor question without
gloves.
The drinking evil, however, is not
alone in receiving his censure. The
society woman who grinds down hel
washerwoman to the last cent so thai
she may the more extravagantly enter
! tain her friends, and the dancing anC
card playing church members came II
for their share.
Mr.. Romig will address meeting
of men only at the opera house next
Sunday at p. m.
