DIRECTIONS 10 CONSOLIDATION ANS
wERED FROM REPORT OF SUPT.
j. Q. BROCKERT, GRANT Co.

Some OF the following objections are
raised when consolidation is suggested:
|, It will cost too much.
Where tried the report is ''.auch
less, "the same," or sit costs more
but the schools are better"
2. The roads are not suitable.
Bad roads, though not unsurmount-
able, are yet great obstacles to it's
best operation. In this Is also involved
all other traffic as we'll, particularly
rural delivery of farm produce. Roads
will improve and TO say that children
cannot be hauled is to throw upon
them burden we are not willing to
put upon horses.

Oscar Torrison accompanied the
Manitowoc boys from Minnesota, but
switched off for Chicago before reach
ing home. Oscar is one of the best
looking young men in the north and
west and such a one does not find it
difficult to receive a cordial welcome

to fear Oscar contemplates going back

Monday of this week. He had been
confined to his bed for quite long
time, but fortunately suffered no pain.
At the time of his death he was 10
years Of age. He was born in Glare,
Ireland, and came to this country in
1S4S. He lived for few years in Chi
cago and then settled in Meeme, where
he has since resided. When he came
there pioneer life meant deprivation
and hard work. None but hardy men
could withstand the hardships to which
the early settlers Of this county were
subjected.
He was man OF great kindness of

ANOTHER MILITARY APPOINTMENT.
We learn from good authority that
Bryan S. Lorrigan, of this village, has
been appointed lieutenant to raise
recruits for Colonel Doran's Irish Reg
iment. Lieutenant Lorrigan's APP
pointment is good one, and we wond-
er why Gov. Randall did not before
this, select him to more important
military position. He was an expert
enced soldier and military tactician in
Ireland, and belonged to the celebrated
regiment of Faugh BaHachs, and was
two or three times promoted for his
bravery. He is also lineal decend-
ant of the immortal Brian Boroigme,
who conquered the Danes in their at
tempt to invade Ireland. We shall not
long wait for his promotion to higher
Office after he enters and has an OPP
portunity of displaying his ability on
the field of battle.

House Passes Revenue Bill

After prolonged debate, the house passed what is known as the Smms- Thueat bill, providing for additional revenue Although differing as to some details, yet in the main this is similar to the Turner-Jacobson bill which passed the senate and was turned over to the house some days before. The chief argument or req. son assigned for refusing to pass the senate bill in the house was the fact that the emergency clause was strick- en from it and the people would have four months after it's passage to refer 1t to vote at the next election, while the emergency clause is attached to the house bill, carrying it into imme- date effect
