WHY MARRIAGE is A FAILURE
Mrs. Cleveland of California, Lecturer
at I, o. o. F. Hall Next Tuesday

Although this is her first visit to
Ladysmith, Mrs. l.. B. Cleveland of
California is no stranger to Wisconsin,
having made a general tour of the
larger cities eight years ago, at which
time she received some very fiattering
notices from the press of Milwaukee,
Madison, Green Bay, Ashland, La
Crosse, Oshkosh ETC., all of whom
seemed to agree, that she was charm
ing speaker of much magnetism, clear
and forceful on the platform, holding
the undivided attention of her audience
without the least effort, and lady of
charming personality.
Taken ali in all the secret of her
great success seems to be first, that
she has a message of vital Importance
and absorbing interest to women,
second, that being entirely natural, she
has a way of pressing home the truths
she states with an added force, and
third, that she at once inspires conf

SOME COUNTY POLITICS
CANDIDATES ARE GETTING IN
THE FIELD
SEVERAL THREE -CORNERED FIGHTS
Few Announcements Yet Made for
County Offices. Some
Representations

With more than three months yet un-
til the primary election, most of those
who have aspirations for county offices
deem it too early to make any formal
announcement, but several have con-
fided to their friends that they intend
to enter the race.
The statement was made some time
ago that c. P. Ellingson of Hawkins
would be candidate for assemblyman
from this district 1t has been rum
ored that T. F. Armstrong Sr. of Lady
smith wonld also be a candidate for
legislative honors, but this Mr.. Arm
strong strenuously denies. 1t is said
that Arnt Erickson of Chippewa county
will not be candidate for reelection.
Tom Foster of Ladysmith and B. F.
Brainerd of Murry have announced
their candidacy for county treasurer,
and J. NJ. Hurless of Island Lake does
not deny that he may not again aspire
to the office Norman Whiteford says
he will not be candidate.
Chas. Kirwan makes his announce
this week as a candidate for District
Attorney. 1t is foregone conclusion
that J. w. Carow will again be can
didate, and the present incumbent,
A. N. Andersen, naturally will run for
a second term.
County Treasurer 4. E. Foster and
Under sheriff VIM. Dodson have long
been understood in political circles to
be aspirants for the nomination for
sheriff, and this week ex-county chair
man V. V. Miller makes his announce
ment for the office, and it is rumored
that ex-Sheriff J. H. Reed may become
a candidate
1t is understood that D. E. Getchell
of Weyerhauser will again run against
John Diamond for Surveyor
Of course F. E. Munroe, E. w. Hill
and H. o. Bye will aspire to succeed
themselves as County Clerk, Register
of Deeds and Clerk of Court respect
lively. No opposition has yet been
heard from. Frank Helm denies that
he will run against Mr.. Hill.
DR.. Westgate of Ingram is mentioned
as a possible successor to DR.. Gaillardet
for Coroner.
So far as can be learned there is no.
thing doing in the democratic camp.

LOST THEIR ALL BY FIRE
Farm Home of T. H. Rote Swept
Away in Forest Fire

The fire which has been burning for
several days in the woods along the
Thornapple six miles northwest of this
city was famed into fury by the
high wind Monday afternoon, and the
home of r. H. Rote, together with his
outbuildings and quantity of lumber
and logs, was completely destroyed.
Even the clothing and furniture, which
was carried long distance from the
house, was consumed, and both Mr..
and Mrs. Rote and Mrs. Rote's aged
uncle had holes burned in the clothing
they had on.
Mr.. Wilber, who lives on higher
ground to the southeast of the ROte
place, noticed the fire working that
way and went over to warn Mr.. Rote
and the two men began to back-tire,
but the wind shifted and the fire came
thing seemed to catch fire at once.
Two horses and a calf was all that was
saved. The new telephone line had
just been built past the Rote place and
the phone had not yet been connected,
so that they could not summon help,
but it is doubtful if help could have
arrived in time.
The loss is upward of $1,000, with no
insurance Mr. Rote had some of the
most substantial Improvements of any
farmer north of Ladysmith-a good
frame house and large barn. He says
that he will rebuild at once.
