NO CHARTER REVISION.
Ordinances May be Revised but Char
ter Will Not Be Altered.

Because of the length of time and
almost useless expense involved it has
been practically decided that no at
tempt will be made by the Laurium
council to revise the charter this
year 1t is believed that practically
the same results can he obtained 10y
revising the book OF ordinances and
the cost would be much less.
Before the charter could be revised,
II would be necessary for the council
to secure the approval of the voters to
undertake the task. A revision COM
mission would then be appointed and
its work would cost the village con-
siderable money. After sitting Cor q
specified length of time to hear pro
tests. il would be necessary for the
commission to submit the revised
charter to the voters at n special cleo
ton. which would entail further OK
penses.

BEEL WILL RE-ENTER
THE WRESTLING GAME.

Freddie Bcel. the Marshneld, CWis.)
wrestler. whose work on the mat won
him much praise, is coming back.
Gotch's retirement talk has had much
to do with Beell's return To the game
and it is the plan OF the Badger state
grappler to go against the hopes of
the wrestling game. Beel has been
living close 10 nature on his Wiscon
sin farm and has fully recovered from
his weakened condition. He says he
feels as strong as ever and believes
that with a few minor matches he can
tackle Petersen, Romanoff. Smejkal
and the others and eliminate them
from the race.
Though Beell once threw Gotch. he
does not contemplate tackling the
champion again He merely wants TO
go against the foreigners here. In a
letter TO a close friend i'm this city he
impaired the above information. Fred
likely will be seen on the local mats
before long.
