ENDED HER LIFE.
A Town oil Norrie Woman Comes to
the City and Drinks Carbolic
Acid.

Mrs. Michael Jonen, former resi-
dent OF this city, came to. .|ausau
from her town of Norrie home last
Tuesday for the purpose of taking
medical treatment, and engaged
room at the Naples. Sne visited sew
eral friends, and though she appeared
TO be very nervous, she talked ration
ally and no one suspected that she
contemplated self destruction. Late
Wednesday she appeared at one OF
the drug stores and purchased a
small bottle of carbolic acid. Before
it was given to her she was questioned
as to what she intended to use it for,
and gave an answer which satisfied
the druggist. Thursday morning she
appeared before one of the Lutheran
ministers and asked to be given the
communion service. The minister
has some classes he was preparing for
confirmation, and told her that his
time would be taken up during the
forenoon, but that she might call again
in the afternoon. Her movements from
that time on were unobseryed by any,
one, she being aim ST a stranger in
the city.
At noon one of the sisters teaching
in ST. Michael's Polish Catholic school
opened the door of small building
at the rear of the school, and found a
woman sitting upright leaning against
the wall, one leg crossed over the
knee of the other leg. The sister
notified the janitor, who in turn noti-
fed M. j. Klimek. The two went to
the building, opened the door, and
from their observations satisfied
themselves that the woman was dead.
The coroner was notified and he sum-
moned an undertaken and had the
body removed. All of those who viewed
the body at that time were unable to
identify the woman, and it was late
in the afternoon before it was dis
covered that she was Mrs. M. Jonen.
Her husband was at once notified and
came to the city to take charge of the
remains.
Deceased was born in Calumet
county and would have been forty-tive
years of age had she lived until April
q next. After her marriage she set
tied in Kaukauna, and about eleven
years ago the family purchased a
farm in the town of Norrie where
they lived up to about four years ago,
when they moved into the city. Tir-
ing of city life they moved back onto
the farm.
Mrs. Jonen had been a sufferer from
nervous attacks for many years, and
since the birth of her last child about
three months ago she had suffered
more than ever.
She was the mother of five children,
one of whom died while the family
resided in Wausau. The eldest, is
a girl of twenty-one years of age, who
will be able to take care for the infant
and the home. The remains were
taken to Birnamwood for burial. She
was member of the Modern Brother
hood of America.

E. B. KIBLER IN RACE.
He Is Candidate for Magistrate for
No. 9-Name Accidentally
Omitted.

In some mysterious way the name
and announcement of Mr.. E. B. Kib-
ler for magistrate for Prosperity
No. 9, was dropped from the list OF
candidates and when the statement
was made up for Fridays paper con-
tanning all Of the candidates of the
county his name did not appear.
Mr.. Kibler is at present the efficient
magistrate for No. township and is
a candidate. for reelection or reap
pontment. We regret that his card
got out of the paper and desire to
say that it was the fault of the office
and was no indication thaG Mr.. Kibler
had any intention of withdrawing
from the race. He states that he is
very much in the race and expects to
be in when the votes are counted at
the August primary. This much The
Herald and News feels should be said
in order that the people might know
that it was the fault of the newspaper
that his card was out for two or three
issues after the announcement was
first made.

KING LOG DRAG.
DR.. E. d. Weeks and Summer Bros.
Co. Each to Furnish One to
Chamber OF Commerce.

DR.. G. D. Weeks and Summer Bros.
Co., have notified President Hunt, of
the chamber of commerce. that they
would each have made a King log
drag and place it at the disposal Of
the chamber of commerce to be used
on the roads leading into Newberry.
This is a very generous offer on the
part of these progressive gentlemen
and President Hurt will endeavor to
have the drag used. This drag. to
get the most efficient work from it,
should be used on the roads after
rain.
1t would seem that the farmers who
live along these roads would be will
ing to use these drags for their own
benefit, as it would take but little
time, and that could be given when
it was too wet to work on the farms.
Some time ago Mr.. Henry L. Parr
agreed to use one of these drags on
the road from his place to Newberry
if the supervisor would furnish the
drag. Inquiry from the supervisor
brings the information that he. has
notified Mr.. Parr that the drag was
at his disposal, in fact notified him on
Saturday again that he could get this
drag, andAahis is most excellent
time at which to use it. This road
has recently been worked by the chain
gang and the use of the drag on it
now would make it a drst-class road,
and it is hoped that Mr.. Parr will
carry out his part of the agreement
and have this road dragged at once.
If few of these drags can be put
into service on the roads leading to
NeWberry, it will give citizens from
all sections Of the county an oppor-
tunity to see the advantages of their
use and the ineXpensiyeness Of them
and no doubt other communities will
use the drags.

pal Not Yet Elected.

At a meeting of the board Of trus-
tees OF the NeWberry graded schools
or last Thursday. the resignation Of
Miss Helen Smith as teacher was ra-
ceived and accepted. Miss Smith ga !e
personal reasons for rendering her
resignation, which were satisfactory.
The board did not elect Miss Smiths
successor, nor did it elect princi-
pal Of the high school. There is also
another vacancy among the teachers
to be filed. The board will hold an
other meeting on Thursday of this
week.
Rev. =. Leyister. Who has been prin
cipal Of the Hoge colered school for
the past two or three years, sent in
his resignation, which was accepted.
He has made very acceptable prin-
cipal of the colored school.
The following letter from him gives
his reason for asking the board to
accept his resignation:
Newberry, S. c., August 2, 1910.
! To the Board of Trustees for City
Schools, Mr. w A. McSwain, Sec
retary, Newberry, S. G.
Gentlemen: Some months ago re-
signed the pastorate of the Bethlehem
Baptist church that might give my
self wholly to the work in the Hoge
school. At that time had no thought
Of severing my relations from that
school within a short time. Since
that time, and very lately, another
field Of service has opened up for me.
I have been appointed to the position
in the department Of mathematics in
our State school, Orangeburg, S. c..
It seems the part of good judgment
for me to accept. I beg you to con-
slider, therefore, this communication
as my resignation from the position
of principal of the Hoge school, with
which you have honored me for these
years, to enter the work in Orange
burg. ':~a s..rx,
I wish to thank you greatly for all
you haFe been. to our school and to
me. That the school, has made SUBJ
stantial progress is beyond honest
questioning. This progress does not
belong solely to the principal of the
school. It belongs to you and to the
superintendent. There was scarcely
one week to pass by that Prof.
Stuckey did not in person visit the
school. You yourselves have person
ally visited the school. You have seen
it's needs, and you have set about to
meet those needs in a manner that
the colored people must appreciate.
You have improved the building, you
have increased the salary of the
teachers, besides granting us an ad-
ditional teacher; you have added
something to the salary Of the prin-
cipal of the school each year. The
wise counsel of the superintendent
and your cooperation have made the
school what it is. We justly thank you
fer all you have been to the school.
Very respectfully,
y B. Levister.
