CAPTAIN WALDO.

He has fell as falls the noble,
He has died as dies the brave,
Battling for his country'S safety,
He has won hero's grave:
He is dead but his example,
And his sad, though noble fate,
Shall live as long as live the annals
Of his cherished Badger State.
Fearlessly he sailed forward,
Manfully the charge he led.
Splendidly twas executed,
Over heaps of rebel dead
Suddenly a leaden bullet
Pierced in twain his noble heart,
And he fell, while bravely acting
The patriots heroic part.
Yes, he fell; but his brave conduct
Nerved the arms of his men,
And with shout loud and terrific
They charge the rebel ranks again;
The battery which most opposed them
Since the battle first begun,
Now receives their fierce attention,
And at length is wholly won.
Had he lived to see it captured,
Lived to see the rebels flee
Lived to see the wild disorder
Which spread among the ''chivalry,n y
Lived to see Wisconsin)s children
Called the heroes of the fight,
Peacefully then might his spirit
Undertake. its heavenward flight.
Ger the hero's sacred ashes,
Let no bitter tears be she'd;
Rather let his noble spirit
Dwell in peace with kindred dead.
Let us hope the cause he died for,
Shall soon again triumphant be
North and South once more united
In bonds Of sweet fraternity.

THE DUTY OF THE STATE TO
THE SCHOOL CHILD.


the responsibility which compulsory
education involves. AS someone has
expressed it, "when the state for its
own protection compels the child to go
to school, it pledges itself not TO injure
itself by injuring the child" That
sounds reasonable. 1t is the principle
England has followed in providing for
medical inspection of school children
and for the feeding of necessitous
children. II would be hard to find an
argument against it, And yet how
many know whether in their own com
munities even, the State is fulfilling
this implied pledge, whether it is
meeting this elementary obligation
not to injure the child in the occupa-
tion forced upon it bv compulsory
education laws.
Is the school room where your own
child spends so large part of his day
properly ventilated? Is he getting
fresh air with the proper amount of
moisture in it, or is he forced to breathe
during the school hours air which
lowers his vitality and reduces his re-
sistance to disease?
Is his room clean, or is your child
exposed to the danger of dirt and dust?
Do you know anything about the meth
DDS of the janitor? Does he use soap
and water freely, or is he devotee of
the feather duster?
How is the room lighted? Does your
child face the light? Does his own
shadow fall upon the desk where his
book lies? Are his eyes strained by
cross lights? Or is the light admitted
from one side, or better from above,
in such way as to put the least pos
sible strain upon his eyes2
What is done To prevent communica-
tion of disease? Is there any medical
inspection? Do the children use a
common drinking cup? What type of
seat is used in the closet? GA person
with a hand-saw," said DR.. Caroline
Hedger in recent address on this
subject, "who would 90 from school to
school and saw out the fronts of the
closet seats, could do much to make
our schools safer"
Are there proper Fairgrounds? Is
the play Of the children supervised so
that they get the best possible results
from their periods of recreation? Or
are they exposed during their recesses
to the contamination that so frequent
ly spreads through school from a
vicious or precociously immoral child?
Have you examined the curriculum
of the school? Has your child too
much to do? Is he becoming nervous
and overstrained? Or has he too little
to do and is he developing habits of
idleness?
Is the work of the school fitting him
for life? Is he being considered as an
individual, or is he being ground out
of machine2
These are questions that every parent
ought to be able to answer in order
that he may hold the State TO its ac-
countability to his child and to all
children.

CEEDED TWICE IN TWENTY
YEARS.

A report from the meteorological

heavier than for many years. There
have been two exceptions during the

their wheat threshed until the lat
ter part of August. The rainfall for
July of the present year was 7.24
inches. There was rainfall the first
eight days of the month. The mercu-
ry was above 80 only one time, and
the mean temperature of the month
was identical with that of 1911,
while the rainfall for July, 1911, was
2.56 inches.
The rainfall for June was 2.26
inches, and with July added the
amount for the two months is 354S
inches.

grees on the 9th

OFFICIALS FAIL
TO HEAD THAT ELK
FRIDAY AFTERNOON
CiNCH THEIR HOLD ON FIRST
PLACE BY WINNING A GOOD
GAME AT RIVERSIDE
new BATTERY FOR OFFICIALS
No Sensational Playing Was Shown
and Both Teams Were Crippled by
the Absence of Regular Men From
the Line Up.

That Elk got away again Friday
from the County Officials and got
such lead that it looks as it would
be an impossibility to head him off
before he captures the rag and chews
hole in it.
The game Friday was an interest
| ing exhibition of ball. Both teams
hit like fiends, getting thirteen safe
ties each. The Elks were more for
tunate in punching hits and in the
first, fourth and seventh punched
them in such manner to run in sew
en- runs which alone cinched the
game.
Keltner and Lumsden worked rret-
ty we'll as battery for the Officials,
but only six men were set down,
while Stephenson and Smith retired
seven without an effort at first.
{ The game was devoid of anything
sensational. The nearest approach
to the sensation was two doubles
pulled off by Harrison to Burns, and
one from Thomas to Burns. Stephen
son knocked down the hottest liner
of the season. Fraser hit line
drive at the pitcher and to save his
Jumps Stephenson stuck up his NIT
and it glanced in the direction of
Wat, who, cat like, picked it up and
retired the runner at first.
Keltner hit two men, pulled off a
couple of bonehead plays, which to-
gether with the thirteen hits and four
sacrifices, lost the game for the Of
ficials. Stephenson also gave an ex-
hibition of boneheadedness, which re-
suited in run in the eighth inning.
Elem Thomas got his sore Fnee
hurt in the first inning of the game
and played under difficulties through
out the game, but out of seven chanc-
es he got all but one, pulling off some
nice assists and catching fly that
looked to be hit.

the feeders were buying rather free

LEONARD HFRNDON
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
SATURDAY NIGHT
NOAH CAZORT, WHO WAS HIS AS
SAlLANT, HAS NOT BEEN
APPREHENDED.
NO PARTICULARS AS TO TROUBLE
Both Men Live in the City and Are
Unmarried-Two Stories as to How
the Difficulty Originated--Herndon
Still Living.

Late Saturday night Leonard Hern-
don was perhaps fatally wounded in
a difficulty with Noah Cazort, being
shot in the groin the ball passing
through the bladder.
The shooting took place at the in
tersection of East Seventh and En-
barge streets, near the electric light,
and while it was witnessed by per-
haps two persons, nothing positive
regarding the particulars is given
out. Drs. Pillow and Williamson
were called and performed an opera
ton on the young man, and before
this was done he was notified that his
condition was very serious and If he
had any statement to make it would
be better to make it. He then made
a statement. hut this, of course was
not given out. The operation was
performed about IL o'clock Saturday
night, and he was resting fairly well
InlS morning.
There are two stories regarding the
trouble. One Is that Cazort was the
aggressor and that Herndon was try
ing to avoid trouble and left the house
where the original trouble started
and was followed into the street and
attacked.
The other story is to the effect that

THAT MANY SHELBY
DEMOCRATS WILL
SUPPORT HOOPER
is THE PREDICTION FREELY
MADE BY POLITICIANS IN
MEMPHIS.
PRESTON FORCES ARE ANGRY
Leaders Say They Did Not Particl-
pate In the Primary In the County
and Are Under No Obligations to
Vote for McMiIlin.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 5-Predic-
lions that many Shelby democrats
who bolted Thursdays primary will
get behind Hooper in the general
election are being made freely by To-
cal politicians.
Memphians who worked for the
nomination of Preston until the pri-
mary declare that the fact they did
not participate in the primary releas-
es them from obligation to McMilltn
in his coming fight with the republi-
can candidate. Furthermore, the
say many independents stayed out OF
the primary in all parts of the state,
and that present indications primse
their support to Hooper.
Leaders of the Preston forces in
Shelby county are keeping their plans
to themselves. They are not attempt
ing to hidet hee fact that they think
they were not given a fair chance in
the primary, and they say in one
voice that they owe no assistance in
the general election to McMillin
From the McMillin ranks comes
plea for harmony and efforts are be-
ing made to pacify the wounded Pres
ton men in Shelby county. There is
said to be no chance though, that the
paciffier will work, and war to the
hilt seems inevitable.
The legislative fight in November
may be the leading political card in
Shelby county and again it may be
one-sided affair 1t is known that the
city administration forces will put out
a ticket. 1t is rumored that the Old
Hickory Club, backed by former Gov.
Patterson, Comptroller Dibrell and
Revenue Agent Thamason, would be
behind another. Politicians who
claim to know the inside workings
of the Old Hickory Club, said today
that their legislative slate has been
under informal consideration and will
be formally announced at mass
meeting to be held some time this
month.
Which side is to have control of
the legislature will mean lot to Mr..
Patterson in his efforts to go to the
United States senate. Should the in
dependents combine with the Shelby
primary boilers and republicans, as is
generally expected, he will have
hard fight in the general assembly.
Should the democratic force be acid
solidly together, as is not expected,
he ought to have pretty easy sail
ing, all provided, naturally, thar he
wins the party nomination in the pri- !
mary. His chances would be even
better with McMillin in the govern
or's chair.
