OFFERED TO STATE.

The widow and other heirs of the
late Senator James H. Stout have
offered to turn over to the state Of
Wisconsin the Stout Institute of Man
ual Training and Domestic Science at
Menomonie in Dunn county, free from
debt or other encumbrances. This in
stitute which was founded by Senator
Stout represents an aggregate invest
ment of nearly $500 900. If the state
accepts the gift it will only obligate
itself to the extent of supplying a
maintenance fund which will not like
ly exceed an annual appropriation of
$25, 900.
a bill has already been introduced
in the legislature which, if passed will
make the Stout Institute part of the
educational system of the state, the
school, however continuing along the
same line and measuring up to it's pre-
sent high standard of excellencies.

In the Face OF Pain.

Instances Of bravery In the face OF
the most intense pain are OF daily oc-
currence, but even In cases OF diff
ficult and tedious operations the at
tention paid to them is slight unless
they are undergone as result OF self
sacrifice. A case where friend sac
rifces few pieces OF skin to be
grated on victim Of burns or scalds
will be told Of at length, while the man
who suffers just as much pain from a
broken leg is not considered worthy Of
mention. The man who lies gasping
for breath with an attack Of Inter
costal neuralgia is sometimes consid-
cred laughable spectacle, but
sprained and swollen wrist would gain
him prompt sympathy and help. The
amount OF pain that Is endured gen
orally is not taken into consideration,
the circumstances Of the case form the
basis for the opinions Of the outsider.

ALL MEN ARE CREATED EGOS

An ego Is a Iatinized I. All men are

things of which neither statute. ukase,

Women without votes have egos, and,
strangely enough, would still have

egos are not political issue.
An ego is what man Is when he

is to say, he Is then first person

A DASTARDLY ACT.

Some mean, contemplate reprobate
broke into the stable of Henry Zuehl
last Sunday night and poisoned valu-
able horse and also poisoned the well
on the premises. Nothing was known
of the act until the horse died Mon
day morning. Upon examination a
quantity of paris green was found in
the horses stomach and also in the
manger. The water in the we'll was
poisoned with carbolic acid. The barn
of Mr.. Zuehl is located in the Baetz
Addition, opposite the cemetery and
away from other buildings. Zuehl
raises poultry on the premises and it is
thought that the guilty person also
tried to poison the poultry. The police
already have a clew to the act and are
working hard to find the guilty party
and bring him to justice.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The first meeting of the new council
was held Monday evening. At the
meeting Mayor Stolze stated to the
members of the council that there were
two candidates for the position of City
Attorney and he desired them to desig-
nate which of the two gentlemen would
be most acceptable to them. He pre-
sented the names of Harry Kelley and
f. f. Groelle. The council designated
Mr.. Kelley as the most acceptable can
didate and he was appointed and con-
frmed.
City Attorney Hougen was not can
didate for re-appointment, having re-
fused because of the press Of other bus
mess to allow his name to be present
ed. On the ballot taken in the council
he was given four votes to three for
Groelle and seven for Mr.. Kelley.
The same procedure was followed in
the selection of city engineer and the
names of William Rudolph and l.. X.
PITT were presented to the council.
The council by unanimous vote selected
Mr.. Rudolph. The council then select
ed Emil Vollendorf to succeed himself
as Street Commissioner and Arthur
Reichert to succeed himself as City
Clerk.
DR.. A. J. Shimek was chosen city
physician and Berlin Sniffen Harbor
Master. Henry Mulholland was chosen
assessor for the north side and II.

ures.
VIM. Kurth was elected tender of
Sth street bridge, defeating Fred Lad
wig who has served eleven years.
Aug. Goedke was reelected tender of
10th street bridge.
Alderman Charles Frazier was re-
elected president of the council. But
little change was made in the commit
tee appointments from those of last
year.
A communication was received from
Henry Bode alleging that he was as
sessed unjustly in the sum of S7.l7 paid
for curbing in front of his business
place on Washington street and that if
the council did not see fit to refund
this amount they would have to take
the consequences. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on finance for
investigation.
City Attorney Hougen presented a
written report of the unfinished bust
ness in his Office showing that there
are several cases undisposed of in court
and giving the present status of the
Water Works proceedings.

council his bill for services as assistant
to the city attorney in hearings before
the Rate Commission at Madison and
on the proceedings for the taking over
of the Water Works plant The a
mount asked is $3.50. Mr.. Crate has
been employed since the recent elect
ion on this question and has spent con-
siderable time in this matter and made
several trips to Madison in the city's
interest. The bill was referred.
A resolution was introduced provid-
ing for bond issue of $500, ,0O0 and
taking over the plant of the Manitowoc
Water Works as soon as the city gets
the final valuation from the Rate Com
mission. The matter was allowed to

PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT.
"Whereas, laws of the United States
have been and now are opposed in sew
eral states by combinations too power
ful to be suppressed in the ordinary
way, | therefore call for the militia of
the several states of the Union, to the
aggregate number of $4,000 men, to
suppress said combination and execute
the laws. | appeal to all loyal citi-
zens to facilitate and aid this effort to
maintain the laws, the integrity OF the
National Union, and the perpetuity of
the popular government: and redress
wrongs long enough endured. The
first service assigned forces will pro
badly be to repossess forts, places and
property seized from the Union. The
utmost care will be taken consistent
with the object, against the tdevesta-
ton, destruction, or interference with
properly of peaceable citizens in any
part of the country, and | hereby COM
mand persons composing the aforesaid
combinations to disperse within twenty
days. I hereby convene both Houses
of Congress for the 4th of July next,
to determine upon measures of public
safety, as the occasion demands
ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
President.
BY VIM. II. Seward, Sec. of State
The President informs us that war
has been made upon our government
that its laws have been, and are being
violated, and its forts and property
been seized, and call upon our citizens
for the aid necessary to execute and
maintain the laws, and retake the forts
and property; and however much we
may deprecate this necessity, or con-
demn the causes which led to il. we
say there must be, there can be no
hesitation on the part of the people to
respond to the call made by the gov
ernment.
When the crisis is upon us, we ig-
more the causes, and must not stop to
speculate as to the effects this war is to
produce upon our trade and commerce,
our moral, social or political relations
and interests. The war-the most hor-
rible of all wars-is commenced, and
we must fight till peace be conquered;
and whatever may be the character Of
this bloody strife between citizens of
our own nation, God grant that when
peace shall be restored, it may be an
honorable and lasting one.
In peace or war, "our country right
or wrong" Our Government asks the
aid of men and means to execute its
laws and maintain its authority, which
are being resisted and delied, and men
and means must be furnished, and the
Government sustained at all hazards.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS.

Six years ago more than a hundred
pale, anaemic, aiiing children who
could not keep up with their classes
were taken out of the schoolroom and
taught their lessons in a pine forest.
Their periods of school work were
shortened, much time was devoted to
rest and play, and nourishing food was
given them at frequent intervals.
Three months later nearly all of these
children returned to the schoolroom
rosy and sturdy and free of disease.
Most of them had gained from six to
eight pounds in weight. They were
bright-eyed, alert, and in high spirits.
And that was not all 1t was found
that they were not behind in their
school work, but that they were actu-
ally in advance of the healthy children
who had remained in the schoolroom;
and this in spite of the fact that less
than half as much time had been spent
in school work.
Such startling results as these were
destined to create a widespread inter
est in the innovation. News of this
outdoor school, which had been CON
Quoted in Charlottenburg, Germany,
quickly travelled over Europe and sim
liar schools sprang into existence with
wonderful rapidity. Then England
caught the enthusiasm, establishing
several open air schools with the same
splendid results. Two years ago the
United States followed and began
turning sickly young America out of
doors to be taught and cured at the
same time. And still the wonder grew;
for when the outdoor work was pro-
lOnged into the dead of winter, the
children being bundled into warm
clothing and sittng-out bags, with hot
SoapstOnes at their feet, and turned out
into the snowy weather, the effect
was even more pronounced. Cheeks
grew redder and rounder; voices be-
came stronger and merrier; and dis
the vanishing point. The scholarship
did not dwindle; it continued to inn
prove. The new formula, "Double ra-
tions Of air; double rations Of food; half
rations of work." was proved to be
aboundingly successful.
In 1908 three American cities-Pro-
yidence, Boston and New York open
ed such schools; last year five cities had
adopted the new plan; and this year
the number of cities has increased to
twenty-three. Not single failure has
| rs yet been reported or abroad.
No city which has opened such schools
| has abandoned the idea On the con.
trary, the tendency is TO spread the
movement TO an astonishing extent.
| In Boston, for example, a regulation
has been passed providing for fresh
air room in each new school building,
and in New York twenty such rooms
have been provided for.
While the open air school demands
only small initial outlay, it does de-
mand that the children shall be warm
Iy clothed and well fed, and in some
cases the parents can not afford such
extra expense. OF course the school
boards have no legal authority for sup.
! plying such needs as these, and 50 a
happy cooperative plan has come
about 10y which the Board of Education
furnishes the outdoor quarters, the
teacher ana the school supplies, while
some private organization furnishes
the special clothing and food in case,
where these cannot be provided by
! parents.

You can tellIa married man these
days. He acts like a boy who has done
something wrong at home and has a
vision of the woodShcd and slipper
put to a bad use on his person. The
married man is not cheerful and looks
as cold as the fog which drifts by him
unheeded. He has a hunted look and
tries to escape something by taking
long and lonely walks. He is restless,
morose and doesn't seem to be affected
in the least by the opening beauties of
spring. He wears kind of "pck up"
suit and his boots do not match. His
clothes are dotted here and there with
whitewash and his voice is husky as if
catarrh had been taking unwarranted
liberties with his larynX. There are
burnt, scaly, shiny patches on his
hands as il he had severe wrestle
with hot stove pipe, and crack in
the knee of his pants as if he had
tumbled of a chair or jumped through a
window. He is a seedy looking cuSs,
unsociable, restless as Il he was pur-
sued by curse. He doesn't seem to
care cent whether the council elected
democrats or republicans to the city
offices. He doesn't even make remarks
about the weather and forgets to say
that times are dull. He is so far for
getful that he pays his subscription to
the paper and looks as if there was no
happiness on this side of the Elysian
Fields equal to that Of not having a
home to which he must 90. tits house

1t is not presumed that "Open air
schools, " will be needed in the country
but it is well to know that there are a
number of them in the country at pre-
sent, which have for their purpose the
prevention of disease, especially tuber-
culosis. Fresh air and sunshine are
enemies to almost all diseases.
The success of these schools ought to
make clear in our minds the import
ance Of good ventilation and heating.

drafty is worse for the health of child
rem than to remain in the open air
with warm clothing on. | can sit for
