The governor has approved
requisition for 10 per cent Of the.
1912 shoot fund and you will re-
ceive d check for this proportion Of
the appropriation due your schools
within the next few days. This
money would have been sent be-
fore, but for the fact there haven't
been sufficient funds in the treas
ury to warrant that amount. From
the best information that can se-
cure / fear that you cannot count
upon further funds from the state
this spring.
AS the bulk Of the taxes have all
been collected and only fixed rev
enues and special taxes are now
coming in, it is doubtful If suffici
ent money will be obtained to
make any more payments to teach
ers for some time. Most Of the
money coming in nov will have to
be applied to current expenses Of
the state government ond state IN
stitutions.
In his letter, Superintendent
Brittian refers to the following
matters Of Importance:
In accordance with section 2 Of
the 1911 school laws, the state
board Of education will soon suggest
a course Of study for high schools
receiving state aid.
In particular it is necessary to
provide course for the large mum

cessity Of the case, must do second

Executive Committee. is now be-
ing arranged and will be completed

No More S8ccharine
In Prepared Foods.

Washington, d. C.--By a vote of 2 to
l. the board Of cabinet officers charged
with the enforcement ofsthe pure food
law today entered final decision against
che use OF saccharine in prepared foods.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson and Sec
rotary Of Commerce and Labor Nagel COR
frmed the decision that food containing
saccharine was adulterated Secretary 81
the Treasury MacVeagh dissented. One
month grace will be given
to arrange for the elimination OF sac
charine The decision settles a con-
troversy OF nearly years standing, Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Wilsors by direction
of former President Roosevelt, having re-
ferred the question Of the use Of sac
charine in foods to the Remsen board d
scientific experts for their investigation
aud report
After years Of experiments, this
board reported that the addition Of sac
charipe to food as a substitute for sugar
must besregartled as a substitution in
yolying reduction in the food value b
the sweetened product, and hence a re-
duction in its quality.
A decision then was made. that the use
Of saccharine would be prohibited after
July |, 1911. On appeals from the manu-
faeturers, however, the time was ex
tended.

Evansville

G. w. Leyda has resigned his posi-
ton as superintendent of the telephone
company.
A petition is being circulated and
signed by practically all of the voters
of the city, requesting Mr.. c. j. Pear
sail to accept the position Of mayor this
spring.
1t is evident that the farmers who
have raised crops for the canning fac
tory the past year are we'll satisfied, as
Superintendent Adams has contracted
for $50 acres of peas and SO acres of
tomatoes the coming season. 1t Will be
necessary to increase the capacity of
the canning factory this year to take
care of this rapidly growing business.
Mr.. Fred L. James returned the last
of the week from California where he
has been with his family since last fall.
The judge seems glad to be back home
and certainly his many friends are glad
tossee him. The family are we'll, Verna
being in much better health than when
leaving here. They will return after
the cold weather is over. Mr.. James
viii remain in Evansville and take up
his former business again.
1t is said that only one couple out of
every one thousand married live to eel
citrate the golden wedding. 1t is all
the more remarkable that we have
seven couples in Evansville that have
passed the fiftieth milestone of welded
life. They are: Mr.. and Mrs. Arson
Baldwin, Dr. and Mrs. c.. NJ Smith,
ST., Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Brink, Mr.. and
Mrs Byron Campbell, Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Gilman, Rev. and Mrs. J. c..
Lees, and Mr.. and Mrs. James Ballard
who have been married over sixty-five
years. This is one more proof that
ours is good city TO have home in.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood ard mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circular and testimonials. Address,

DeerfieId

Sunday evening about O'Clock fire
broke out in the residence of Dave
Conway at London. 1t had gained such
Roadway before being discovered that
the building could not be saved, and it
burned to the ground. The dwelling
was occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Hannem
and Mrs. Hannem's father, Mr. Dave
Conway, who lost practically all their
clothing and some money. Nothing was
saved from the upstairs.
Lars Davidson Rekve, or Rogue, the
oldest Norwegian immigrant in Dane
county and probably Wisconsin in point
of arrival, died at his home in Deer
field village Monday, March 4th, in his
Gath year. For long time he was be-
lieved by many to hold the record of
arrival in this country among surviving
Norwegians, but few others, perhaps
less than half dozen, still live who
preceded him. He was born in Voss,
Norway, June "A, 1918, and came to
America in 1889, having thus lived in
this countrya73 years. During his first
year he worked in Chicago, but in 1910
he bought land in what is now the town
of Deerfield and has lived in that town
ship since In 1914 he was married to
Ingeborg Berge, who died in 1877. He
was married a second time and is sur
vived by widow and three daughters,
the daughters being Mrs. G. A. Ander-
son of Stoughton, Mrs. Hans Mathie-
son of Watertown, S. D., and Mrs. r.
O. Brictson now living in Mexico. The
funeral was held Thursday afternoon
from the United Lutheran church in
Deerfield.
A tramp broke into the residence of
H. J. Christoffer at London last Tues
day. Mrs. Christoffer was in the cellar
at the time and Mr.. was lying on a
couch sleeping. The creaking of the
door awoke Mr.. Christoffer and when
! he looked up the stranger stood right
over him. Christoffer made noise
something fierce, which so frightened
the intruder that he made one sudden
dive through the window through which
he had entered. Outside he met pal
and the two engaged in mile min
ute race towards Deerfeld. A mes
sage was sent to Marshal Munson of
this village to head them off, He placed
himself on the railroad track and they
| flew right into his arms They were
placed in the village lookup until We'd
nesday afternoon when Judge Nelson
sent one to the county Jail for 20 days
and let the other free. Both disclaimed
any intention of burglarizing and made
the excuse that they were drunk.

Stoughton

One of the largest real estate deals
of the season was made last Saturday
when Mr.. Theo Oftendahl sold the
Christ Asbiornson farm of 1872 acres to
10. P. Hottie, the consideration being
S28, 900. The farm is located three
miles northeast of the city.
Ben Lewis has sold his farm of 12O
acres, just west of town, to s. o. Hou-
gan and O. Visaasen. The former pur-
chased the west forty at $155 per acre,
and Mr.. Visaasen the improved eighty
at $235 per acre.
We are informed that M. O. Flom
made a second deal on the Henry
Erickson farm, located two miles south
of Utica, Ole Moe selling to Hans Lund
at $13, 500 for the 1873 acres. MIR. Moe
became the owner short time ago.
It begins to look as if, after all, there
would be candidates enough to go
around for all of the municipal offices
this spring. Mayor John Holtan, we
are told, has signed his willingness to
serve another term, and nomination
papers in his behalf are being clrculat-
ed, as are also papers nominating L. |.
Guam for assessor and VIM. Wood for
treasurer.
Miss Nora Asleson, youngest daugh-
ter of Mrs. Thomas Asleson, succumb-
ed shortly after o'clock Sunday after
noon to the dread White Plague,
against which she had struggled brave
ly for three years. Shortly after she
first became afflicted with the disease
she went to the Stevens Point sanitar-
ium where she remained six months in
the hope of stamping it out, and for a
time after her return home she was
thought to be improving. Last June,
however, she became i'll with pleurisy
in her right lung, which had been least
affected, and she began to fail. Ever
since Christmas she had failed rapidly,
and the end had been expected for
some days.

K. Killam of Bovina, Texas, is here
for visit with relatives and to look
after business interests.
Messrs. Conrad Avik of Edgerton and
D. D. Wells of Virginia have rented
the north room in the Hayes block and
are putting in a stock of 10, Is and 25c
goods.
J. B. Tracy, treasurer of the village
of Milton, made the final returns to the
county treasurer last Thursday for his
village. Mr.. Tracy is the oldest treas
urer serving in the county and has held
the position of treasurer in Milton for
the past % years. He is "a years old.
Martin Joyce, bachelor, rs years
old, who has lived in Johnstown for the
last so years, was found dead in bed
early Friday evening at the home OF
his nephew, Martin Joyce, suffocated by
smoke and fumes from kerosene lamp
ed. Mr.. Joyce had been sick in bed
and his weakened condition evidently
made it impossible for him to help him
self and reduced his resistance to the
poisonous fumes. When the door OF
his room was opened it was found full
of smoke. Mr.. Joyce was born in
County Mayo, Ireland, in 1886. His
parents emigrated to the United States
when he was six weeks old and fo1
some time made their home in Yer
mont. Later they moved to Milwau-
kee. Mr.. Joyce settled in Johnstowr
so years ago and has made his home
there ever since.

THE SUM MFR VACATION TRADE.

A few merchants will sometimes drop their advertising in summer on the ground that a good many people are away on vacations.
 While the vacation habit is spol. en of as quite general, there are hosts Of people that never go away for more than two weeks.
 All those who do leave buy clothing freely for themselves and children be- fore they go. and they spend good deal more money in this way than if they remained at home. A convincing presentation of your bargains will persuade many of them to buy goods at the home store. that otherwise might have been bought at a distance on their travels.
 Summer is an excellent time to de- velop business through advertising Anyone who watches the publicity work of the big city department stores will observe that they spend money freely at that time.
