Service Company Cannot Hold One

Rules Rate Commissi on.

Green Bay.-The railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin has ruled that a
gas or water company cannot refuse
to serve a tenant of a building if
the company has been unable to col
lect money for water or gas by a
person who has vacated that partic-
ular building. The ruling was given
upon the request of Duquaine broth
ers, who recently leased building
for moving picture show and found
the water shut off by the Green Bay
Water company. The new tenants
refused to pay the old bill and the
company refused to furnish water.
The commission was appealed to with
the result that the water company
vas ordered to supply water to Du-
Quaine brothers at once.

Sunragists Meet November II.

The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage
association has issued the call for it's
annual meeting, to be held November
Il and IL at Milwaukee. The call says
in part:
AT this time OF unrest and confu-
sion in the political world when party
lines are broken\down and old leaders
are discredited, when the very fOunda-
tons of our republic are threatened,
The Wisconsin WOman's Suffrage asso-
citation has a message to give and a
work to do. While the white slave traf-
fic flourishes unchecked and almost
unnouced by our public men, while in
many states child labor prevails in its
most revolving forms, no wide-awake
woman caa afford to be idle or indif-
fersnt
For 80 years the Wisconsin Wom-
ans Suffrage association has taught
patriotism, justice and equal rights for
all. We have urged that Wisconsin
should be made an example of true
democracy. We have upheld our ma
tional ideals and above all we have
presented the ballot as means of Sc
curing a higher development Of man
hood and wOmanhOOd
Just what will be our line of work
and our future policy We can only de-
termine after the results of the cleo
ton of November 5 are known, but
whatever that decision may be the call
for unseIfsh, patriotic and heroic work
will still be imperative"
The call is signed by President
Olympia Brown, Eta M. Gardner and
Mrs. Nellie King Donaldson.

Continuation Schools Established.


Thirty schools In Wisconsin have
arranged for continuation schools In
which industrial education will be the
leading feature. This is the maximum
number FOR which state aid was pro-
vided by the legislature of 1911; other
cities stand ready to establish such
schools as soon IS future legislative
enactments shall entitle them to state
aid. There has been raised by local
taxation in the 80 cities 100000, while
the total state aid is limited to $4,000,
and this speaks loudly of the faith Of
people in the value of providing for
the educational needs of those whom
the regular schools do not reach.
AS tersely stated by Warren E.
Hicks, assistant superintendent of in
dustrial education, Continuation &C
tiyity is to get instruction in industry,
not to get persons out Of industry" In
addition to the Industrial work all con-
tinuation schools must give instruc-
tion in English, citizenship, business
practice, physiology and hygiene and
safety devices. Regulations have been
made to prevent any interference on
the part of industrial schools with the
regular schools and vice versa. A
child must have completed at least the
fifth grade before he is permitted to
attend a continuation school. Glasses
made up of part continuation school
pupils and part regular school pupils
are forbidden.

DEATH HELD NO TERRORS
Or. Oviatt, Oshkosh, Believed There
Is No Hereafter. According to
Statement He Left

Oshkosh DR.. c. W. Oviatt, a
prominent surgeon who died here,
left an unusual statement before he
passed away and as a result there
will be no ceremony of any kind at
lending his burial. His remains will
ne cremated in Forest Hill cemetery,
Milwaukee.
In explanation the following ex-
cerpt from the surgeons letter is
made public:
''Inasmuch as l have never been
able to believe in the tenets of the So
called Christian religion or in the
dogma of divine providence or a
future life in any individual form,
an expression of pain or remarks re-
gerring to the life beyond will be en-
tireIy out of place To my believing
friends who think it must be fear
full thing to die without BELIEF in
future life, / would say that death
has never had the slightest terror for
me since | became of age to reason
for myself.
''To quote from Diapers History
of the Conflict Between Reason and
Science, why should we repine at
death where everything is dying? As
the tired man looks to the tranquil
ity of sleep, so the philosopher looks
forward to the tranquility of extinc-
ton"
DR.. Oviatt was 50 years old and
had been practicing in Oshkosh for
the last twenty-six years.
