Notice 10 School Patrons.

Fearing that have failed to mail
the following letter to some Of tie
patrons of the school, | have asked
the editor to publish it in his paper.
The list Of books needed for each
grade is published in another place
in this paper. | trust the patrons
will under stand that we fail to have
all their names on account Of all
our records getting burned.
Since the preliminary opening
have taken up the book question
with the stores in town that handle
books and learn that they will handle
Only those books that have been pre-
scribed by the State Text Book Com
mission for county schools aud city
schools alike. AS is we'll known this
list is not sufficient TOR city schools
and needs to be supplemented as
many Of the county schools have a
shorter term than the average city
school.
In order that our pupils be sup
piled with these supplementary
books. | will order for them the ones
that the book stores here do not
handle. This is not a money making
scheme on my part and | shall order
these books only on the written or
der Of the parent and with the I'M
derstanding that they are to be
paid for when they are taken from
the book room. You will find in
another colu mn list Of books that
will be needed for each grade, show
ing which ones can be bought at the
book stores ia town and which will
have to be ordered. Those wishing
books to be ordered will please mail
ne their orders not later than Fri
day, September 22nd.
| wish to call your attention to the
fact that all changes IN books are
due to the finding OF the State Text
Book Commission and are included
ia that list. It is my policy to
change books only when necessary.
Trusting that all pupils will be
furnished with books at the begin
ming Of school SO that there may be
no delay when school starts, ] am

WILL REVISE RATES
Railroads to Fix New Prices
for the Hauling of Freight
in Several Territories
FIRST CHANGE IN MANY YEARS

For the first time In twenty years
a general revision of rates governing
the hauling Of freight on steam rail
roads has been made The new CLASH
fications, prepared for the western, Of
fetal, and southern territories, will be
made public early in December.
Work on this REIMBURSEMENT of the
present classifcations has been in pro-
gress for the last three years. Numer-
Gus changes have been made with a
view to securing a uniformity of de-
scription of articles, also uniformity in
rules and minimum weights, as far as
possible. Nothing has been done tow
ard a unifcation of rates. The new
classifcations have been arranged by
the various classification committees,
composed of rate experts of the differ
emit railroads represented in the three
territories into which the United States
has been divided.
1t is proposed to make the new rates
effective about Feb. /, but there prob
ably will be many applications for sus-
pensions of certain features which will
set this date back. Various mercantile
associations that are vitality interested
arc expected to attack different CLASH
fcations.
About 5000 articles are affected by
the new classifcations-some reductions
and some increases. The increases are
principally on minimum weights. AS
far as commercial condition would per.
nit, the shippers have aided the rate
men in their effort to establish fair
minimums.

Supreme Court Asked to De-
clare Law for Protection of
Workmen Unconstitutional
EXPECT AN EARLY DECISION

The supreme court at Madison We'd
nesday heard the arguments in the
Borgnis case involving the constitu-
tionaity of the workmen' $ eompensa-
ton act
The act, as it is, was attacked on the
grounds that it imposes on many per
sons loss Of property without due pro,
cess of law; denies equal protection OF
the laws to many persons; denies the
right of trial by jury to many persons
and vests judicial power in the Wis
|consin industrial commission.
The suit was originally brought by
Edward Borgnis, superintendent Of the
pattern shop Of the Falk company, Mil
waukee, who is under contract to work
for this company a certain number OF
years at a stated salary. Frank IL
Schumacher, Milwaukee, has a SON
Arthur, who is an apprentice with the
same company and also under contract
to remain for a stated period at GER
tain wage. These two combined and
brought suit to restrain the Falk com
pany from coming under the provisions
of the workmen IS compensation act
because, they argued, it would destroy
their contracts.
Judge Paul D. Carpenter, Milwau
kee, argued the case for the Falk com
pany, and Arthur Breslauer for Borg
mis- and Schumacher. Deputy Attorney
Russell Jackson appeared for the state
The argument was short,
In addition to the argument, the
court will consider the briefs filed IL
the Filer-StoweH case. Attorney Jack
son raised a technical point in which
he said that the case lacked facts
which would be a sufficient cause fol
trial. The court ruled his point out OF
order and stated that the case would be
tried on its constitutional merits only
The court will convene on Nov. IA
when it is expected that a decision in
the case will be handed down. The
justices who sat on the case were CHER
Justice Winslow and Associate Justices
Marshall, Siebecker, Kerwin, Timlin
Barnes and Vinje.

REVEALS A ROMANCE
Suit of Esther Johnson Gray
for Divorce Brings First
Notice of Her Marriage
MARRIED LIFE VERY SHORT

A story of romantic marriage was
laid bare in suit for divorce brought
in the municipal court in which Esther
johnson Gray is named as the plain
tiff and Percival G. Gray as defendant.
The action is brought by Mrs. Emma
Johnson, mother Of the plaintiff who
has been named as her guardian for the
purpose of bringing the suit. Miss
johnson and Gray were married in Mil
waukee on March 10th, 1910 and at
the time of the marriage the bride was
just a few days over the legal age.
The marriage followed an elopement
and it was not until after the ceremony
was performed that even the mother
of the bride knew of the proposed
marriage The bride returned to her
home in KenOsha with her husband and
for five days the couple lived together.
At the end of the i've days, according
to the complaint Of the child wife, Gray
abandoned her and has not since that
time contributed anything to her sup
port.
The facts in regard to the Milwaukee
marriage were carefully concealed and
it is declared that even the closest
friends of the bride did not know that
she was married. After the marriage
she went with her girl friends just as
before and the story of the romantic
elopement to Milwaukee never became
known outside the members of the
Johnson family.
When Gray deserted his wife he is
alleged to have left Kenosha county
and it is declared that his present
Whereabouts are unknown to his wife
or her attorneys. Summons in the case
is being secured by publication.

that the love of a good woman will

that if the average man who lives by
his wits would devote the same amount
of energy and ingenuity to honest bust
ness that he does to shady transactions
he would find great legitimate success.

an in the person of his stenographer
and her influence ultimately rehabili-
tates the morals of the suave, believe
able aud lovable scamp hero and his
shady pal, "Blackie'' Daw. The
characters drawn by Mr.. Cohan are
easily found in real life and they have
been made real for the stage.
