rs TERROR OF THE HOSTESS
UnpgnetuaI Guest Seldom Realizes
How She Is UpsettIne the
Household.

The unpunetual guest IS the ter
Tor Of the hostess unless she has the
means ard inclination to cross the
palm OF eash servant of the house
with gold. In. that case a degree of
laziness will be tolerated which, if
a member of the family were con-
cerned, would be met with threats of
departure. Not every procrastinat-
ing guest is rich, however, and when
one of the impecunious or grudg-
ing ones arrives by train later than
the one upon which she was expected
it is the signal for rebellion. From
the moment she enters the door I'M
III her departure the mistress of the
household is in a state of continual
uneasiness lest the delinquent shall
not be we'll served, or that q domes-
tic crisis will be pEscipitated. Why
cold breakfasts and rooms not "done
up promptly Go NOT IN tine reveal
to the procrastinators that they are
upsetting a household and democrat
izing the routine of each servant, is
question that has never been an
swered; but wL4n a hint is thrown
out to them as to the incompetence
caused the reply is very apt to be,
"Ohl don't mind me ! If I can only
have those last few forty winks; I
never think if breakfast is cold or
not" and the hostess can say no
more. But her mental VOW, when
good-by is eventually said, is usu-
ally adhered to.

GOVERNOR VISITS
NATIONAL GUARD
MCGOvern Greeted BY a Salute
of Seventeen Guns.
PRIZES GIVEN TO SOLDIERS
Capt. Armitage of Company A, Mil
waukee, Wins First of Senior Regi-
mental rophies-Silver Low
ing Cup to Col. Morrison.

Madison-A salute of seventeen guns
and stirring march by the regiment
al band greeted Governor McGOvern,
as he rode up to the gate of the res
ervation for his first official visit to
the Wisconsin National guard.
The governor presented the prizes
won at officers school, Capt. Ar1ni-
tage, company A, Milwaukee, winning
the first of the senior regimental
prizes; Capt. Garlock, Fond du Lac,
second senior prize; Lieut.. Langhoff
and Lieut.. Lindamann, company A,
the junior regimental prizes.
There were great doings after the
company returned from parade over
the fact that two of the four regi-
mental prizes had been won by the
two officers from that command who
had attended officers school. The
regiment is equally enthusiastic over
the fact that both general prizes, to
which all state guard officers are elig-
ible, have been won by First regiment
men.
Col. Morrison was then called for
by Gov. McGovern, who made an ad-
dress telling of the great work of Col.
Morrison and then presented to him
a silver loving cup as a token of the
esteem of the officers of the First
regiment. Three rousing cheers were
given by the regiment for the col
0nel and the men were sent back to
their quarters.
The governor did not waste any
Tune in camp. He inspected every
thing from headquarters to commits
sary and showed an interest and en-
thusiasm for guard work which betok-
ems strong executive support for the
organization.
Exercise 6, the normal attack. with
ball cartridges, was executed with a
perfection, from tactical point Of
view, which won the applause of the
regular army instructors.

poses of comparison. The number of

Warden Resigns From States Prison.
Henry Town rendered his resigna-
ton as warden of the state prison to
the state board Of control at it's ses-
sion at Waupun. Warden Towns res
ignation was accepted. A successor
has not yet been named
Warden Town denies that formal
charges of any nature had been pre-
ferred against him or that any such
charges had precipitated his resigna-
ton. Denying rumors that President
Graebner of the board of control had
received his resignation three weeks
ago, Mr.. Town declared that he had
not handed his resignation to tie
board at that time. He made no ex-
PLANTATION Of his action.
Despite denials by members of the
board, conditions at Waupun have
been far from peaceful for some time
past. Recently Rev. Daniel Woodward
predicted most sweeping probe Of
the institutions management, but
President Graebner was equally insist
ent that the prophesy was without
foundation Warden Towns resigna-
ton clears the atmosphere and prob
ably will obviate further action.
Persons close to prison affairs say
that practically all the guards were
united in criticising the warden, and
that except for his resignation, charges
would have been pressed, the board
being ready to sift them If formally
presented.
Rev. Daniel Woodward of Omro,
member of the board of control has
been placed in charge of the prison

The Wisconsin State Federation Of

pie, said Frank j. Weber, Milwaukee,
addressing the first session at La
Crosse. Principles advocated by the
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor

every state federation of labor
throughout the length and breadth
of the land, but also by the central
labor body of this country" said Mr..
Weber.
Addresses of welcome were deliv-
cred by Theodore E. Strauss, presi-
dent of the La Crosse Trades and

ReIoit VIII Save SIG. 900.

The state railroad commission issued
an order requiring the Beloit Water,
Gas and Electric company to lower
it's rates for gas and electric service
about 20 per cent. and to readjust it's
rates for water and install meters.
The order contains a detailed SEIZED
ule of water, gas and electric rates.
The new rates will continue in effect
for one year and at the expiration of
that time, if protests are made, an
other investigation will be made. The
commission fixed the value of the
cOmPanys property, when the investi-
cation was made last year, at $685.
902. 1t is estimated that under the
new schedules Beloit consumers will
save $4,000 a year.

The Wisconsin highway commission,
as named under the law passed re-
Gently by the legislature, met at Madi-
son and organized by the selection of
J. A. Lakewood of Jefferson as presi-
dent and w. o. Hotchkiss of the Wis
consin geological survey as secretary.
The other members of the commission
are John S. Owen of Eau Claire, J. H.
Van Doven of Birnamwood and Dean
F. E. Turneauer of the college of en-
cheering of the university.
The commission discussed informal
ly a general plan and decided that
board constructive policy, so far as
the law would permit, should be out
lined and that whatever is done should
follow the best thought of the coun-
try to the end that a comprehensive
plan of redistricting may result. The
commission has taken over the en-
ployes Of the highway division Of the
geological survey and they will, for
the present at least, constitute the
working force of the board
A. R. Hirst will continue in charge
of roadwork; M. w. Torkelson will
! look after bridge construction, and
Miss Bessie Brewer will act as chief
clerk of the new division The en-
p1oyment of more engineers to COM
plete the work taken over from the
geological survey also was authorized.
Office quarters will soon be arranged
for.
Under the law no state aid is avail
able until 1912, and so the work which
the new commission can do for the
present, outside the continuation Of
that which has been done in the past
by the geological survey, must be
largely anticipatory Of the time when
the tax is collected and funds are
available. In fact, the new law is
concerned, of the old system of coun-
ty aid, the state paying one-third
the bills.
However, the commission is given
] supervisory powers to see that the
money of the state is wisely expend-
ed, and to assist in solving many of
the engineering and Constitutional
problems that arise. For the present,
towns, cities and villages will be given
assistance in an engineering way as
heretofore.
The commission plans to issue cir
cular soon to city, village and town Of
ficials explaining the new highway
law and directing them how to pro-
coed to secure state aid when it be-
comes available
