M. w. w. Co. Lease C.. "a. g. M.

The Menasha Wooden Ware Co. have
leased for term of eight years the old
c. r. & M. logging railroad running
north from Apollonia and will put it in
repair and extend it to the northeast,
where they own a good many million
feet of timber, which will in time be
transported to their mill at Ladysmith
via Apollonia. 1t is understood that
the Wooden Ware people are not doing
any logging this winter however, owing
to the fact that they already have a
big drive hung up at the forks of the
Flambeau northeast of this city, which
they were unable to float down the
river this season because of low water.
The Beldenville people, whose mill is
jnst east of Bruce, had torn up the
track of the C. r. & M. to within
about twelve miles of Apollonia, having
gotten out all their timber in that re-
gion, and it was their intention to take
up the balance of the track, until the
Wooden Ware Co. leased it.

The Invincibles suffered humiliating
defeat Wednesday night when they
met and were almost completely white
washed by the Stanley H. S. team at
that place. The score was 60-9.
Thursday night the Invincibles met
Thorpe coming after them, who prompt
ly rubbed it in by defeating them GA.
AS is very customary, the winning
teams were great deal heavier than
the locals, and this, coupled with the
fact that they were on new floors,
seriously handicapped them. Let us
hope that nothing more of this nature
will occur to cast ludicrous reflection
upon the name ''Invincible.
At Barron last Friday night, the
Ladysmith H. S. team were defeated
by the high school team at that place
by the score 10.
Tonight the local H. S. team plays
Phillips at this place.

James McGee, father of Miss Grace
McGee, who graduated from the Lady
smith public schools with the class of
1909, died at his home at Superior Mon
day, the 10th. The remains passed
through this city Wednesday night for
interment at Montello.
The former home property of the j.
B. Welpton family, now of Boise, Ida,
on Lake Avenue west, and at present
occupied by Judge Maloney and family,
has been purchased by Sam'l Richie.
The deal which was made by D. H.
Richards, includes the vacant lot ad-
joining the lot on which the residence
stands. The price paid was $3.50.
G. B. Goocher won the chair offered
by the Quaker Medicine Co. for guess

He guessed the exact number; so die

few beans were put back iu the jar anc
the three guessed again, Mr.. Goochel
coming the nearest.
The new telephone directories for the
exchanges at Bruce and Ladysmitt

able improvement in the new book is
the lack of foreign advertising. In
previous years, Milwaukee concerns

vertising while this year local mer.
chants have nearly all the advertising
space.

our 0UT-0F-T0WN TRADE
Shoppers Find What They Want in
Ladysmith Stores

People from surrounding towns who
have been in the habit of going to
Minneapolis to do Christmas shopping,
simply because they could have a
larger variety to choose from, are find
ing out that it is now a needless eA-
pense to go so far from home. Our
merchants are carrying larger stocks
than formerly and then too in recent
years several exclusive lines have been
put in. A lady visiting at Bruce came
over to Ladysmith one day last week
and called at March's shoe store in
quest Of shoe to fit her foot, having
sought in vain in several stores in
Minneapolis and also at Marshfield.
Here she found just the shoe that she
was looking for. This is not an ad, but
just an illustration of what extensive
stocks are carried by Ladysmith mer-
chants.

County Supt. Mackin Makes Early
Announcement

County Supt. Mack1n Makes Early
Announcement
Prof. w. N. Mackin gave it out for
publication this week that he will not
be a candidate for reelection as County
Superintendent at the coming spring
election giving as his reason that he
cannot afford it. With the close of his
present term next July, he will have
served Rusk county in this capacity
for ten successive years, which is GER
tainly good record itself. BY Mr..
Mackin thus stepping out the county
will lose the services of a most efficient,
conscientious and obliging public SER
want. Through constant effort along
progressive lines he has brought the
county's educational system up to a
standard not excelled by any of the
older and richer counties of the state.
1t was largely through his efforts that
a County Training School was estab-
lished in this county, which is tending
to improve the grade of our country
teachers.
The educational qualifications of the
county superintendent are fixed by
state law, so there are but few Of the
educators of the county who are eligible
to the Office. Among the possible can
didates we have heard mentioned are
Prof. o. E. Rice Of Ladysmith, 0. A.
Sergeant of Hawkins and F. d. Stra-
der of Ingram.

The prancng and paving of each little hoof
AS drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with bound
He was dressed ali i'm fur from his head his foot
And his clothes were all tarnisied with ashes and
SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes, how they twinkied! His dimples, how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like cherry;
And the beard his chin as white the
snOwl
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encrced his head like wreath.
He had a broad face and little round belly
That shook when he laughed like bowl full of
jelly.
lie was chubby and plump, right Jolly old elf;
And laughed when saw him in spite of myself
wink of his eye, and twist OF his head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread
lie spoke not word but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the stockings then turned with a
jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose
He sprang to his Sleigh to his team gave whistle.
And away they all flew like the down of thistle;
But heard him exciam ere he drove out of sight,
''Merry Christmas to ALL and to all good night"

A Visit from St. Nicholas.

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through
the house
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
The stockings hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ST. Nicholas would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar pIlims danced in their heads;
And Mamma i'm her kerchief, and | in my cap,
Had just settled brains for long winters nap
When out on the lawn there such Clatter.
l sprang from my bed to what was the matter
Away to the window flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave a luster of mid-day to objects below;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny Reindeer;
With little old driver SO lively and quick,
| knew i'm a moment it must be ST. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his cOursers they came,
And ne wfistIed and shouted and called them by
.'Now Dasher! now Dancerl now Prancer!
Vixeni
On! Comet; Ont Cupid; Onl Dunder and Blitzen;
To the top of the porch to the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away, dash away alI!''
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the
skies;
SO up TO the house top the coursers they flew
With sleigh full of toys and ST. Nicholas too.
And then in twinkng heard on the roof

RULES LAID DOWN BY
U. S. SUPREME COURT
Regarding a Mans Constitutional
Rights Being Violated by Jury.

Washington, Oct. 31.-A mans con
stitutional rights are not necessarily
violated by q jury which is trying him
on a charge of murder being allowed
to separate and to read newspapers
during a trial 1t was so held today
by the supreme court of the United
States. The court also held similarly
in regard to the refusal of judge to
send a jury out of the court room dur
ing argument on the admission of ev
idence.
Furthermore, the court laid down the
rule that the act of requiring the ac
cused to put on a coat, alleged TO have
been worn when the crime charged
was committed, did not amount to
requiring the prisoner to testify
against himself"
These points were made in the de-
cision of the court in refusing 10 in

prisonment imposed by the federal cir
cult court of western Washington up

ing murdered Henry Il. Johnson in

Husbands in Waitinn.

Why should any woman be without
a husband when by the expenditure Of
a small amount of money she can be
put in the way of having one or many =?
At least, the experience of a Chicago
woman goes to show that potential
husbands are waiting on every cor
ner ready to be gathered in by any
enterprising lady who happens along.
"All a woman has to do" she says,
is to join matrimonial agency" add
ing. II am member Of three myself
and a life member of one"
She is 2 member of three because her
fastidious taste leads her to become
easily dissatisfied with the prizes she
secures ana her Sudden abuearanC IN
the limelight is due to the fact that
she acquired several without the
preliminary of getting divorced from
any and the fourth one in the num-
Der for the year 1910 WAS unkind
enough to enter a protest.
1t is not. of course. advisable TO fol-
low the course Of the Chicago woman

CONGRESSMAN HiIHs Answer.

Speaking of Congressman HIS
speech on the tariff in answer to
Judge Baldwin's adoption of the dem
ocratiC ready made cry tina It high
prices are due to the tariff, the Hart
ford Courant says:
Here is a speech that should he read
by every voter in Connecticut. For
the past two or three weeks Judge
Baldwin has been dining into peoples
heads that they should vote the dem
-ocratic ticket this fall and by so doing
kill the trusts and get cheap living.
Read. then, what Mr.. Hill says about
the cause Of the high prices. He pro-
dJIces the evidenCe-and IL amounts to
a demonstration that soaring prices
are not due TO the tariff. You have
heard that this IS the highest country
in the cost OF living. Mr. Hill shows
YOU that It is the lowest Lowest?
Yes. the lowest. See how convincingly
he puts it, Nov ] want to ask Won
as Intelligent men. do YOU believe that
people in this country, knowing the
conditions in which they are living.
would deliberately take their money
and friends on the other side and bring
them here if the conditions here were
not better than they are over there"

In the experience Of d keen eyed stu
dent are to be found the arguments

square meal and it will cling to your
Intellectual ribs.
Parts OF this argument have been
printed already in these columns but
undoubtedly Mr. Hill will give the en-
tire speech on Friday night and every
man who has any doubt as to the facts
and what they mean should hear a
tariff eXpsrt answer a democratic spe-
cial plestder.-Bridgep Standard.
