The SPRING ELECTION.

Under a new law, our spring cleo
tion has been raised almost to the
dignity of presidential election.
At the spring election, April 2nd,
the voter as heretofore will vote his
own ticket, but in addition, each voter
will be given ballot containing the
names of the Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates for the presidency
The voter will express his choice
among the candidates cs mis- own party.
He can express but one choice. This
is done by placing cross (X) or other
symbol within the circle after the
name of his choice.
In addition to the names of the
candidates there will also be found on
the ticket the names of the candidates
for district delegates and delegates at
large for each OF the several presiden-
tial candidates both Democratic and Re
publican. The delegates elected will
go to the National Convention of their
respective parties and name the party S
candidate for president and vice presi-
dent.
AS these delegates are not legally
bound TO vote for the candidates en-.
dorsed by the people, the voters should
naturally vote for the delegates who
stand for the candidate of his choice
for the presidency.

HOW TO KILL QUACk GRASS.

The Department Of Agriculture has
recently issued Farmers Bulletin No.
AGA on "The Eradication of Quack
Grass" Quack grass is well known to
most farmers all the way from the At
lantic TO the Pacific in latitudes north
of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers. IL is
one of the most serious weed pests
known in America. The grass grows
under great many different names,
among them couch grass, witch grass
and twitch grass.
The author of this bulletin has spent
number of years making close study
OF the grass under field conditions all
over the northern United States. Bas-
ed on this thorough knowledge of the
field habits of the grass, experimental
work was started, which quickly re-
suited in complete, cheap, and prac~
tical method OF eradicating the pest
Farmers Bulletin 464 embodying
this work can be had by applying 10

to the Department of Agriculture at
Washington.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Mantowoc Co. Indus
trial Association was held at the court
house Monday afternoon. About a
dozen stockholders attended. VIM.
Rahr, Sr., president of the association
presided. In his address he stated that

the present officers and directors would
never hold another fair, but that il
any body of men would take the matter
in hands, he would give the grounds
free of all charge. After some dis
cussion 1t was decided to take the
matter up with the Citizens Associa-
tion at u meeting to be held March 23.
The old officers were reelected,
VIM. Rahr, president, Charles +.
Fechter, secretary, and +. T. Zeutner,

FINALE IN GERKE CASE.

Saturday afternoon Judge Kirwan
made his ruling upon the motion for
new trial for Henry Gerke recently
convicted of arson. The grounds for
new trial which were seriously urged
were that the verdict of guilty is con-
trary to the evidence and that there is
newly discovered evidence. The court
went into an exhaustive analysis OF
the testimony. He said that the
theory of the defense had narrowed
the issues down to the question OF
whether the defendant had set the fire
or whether Detjen had burned his own
homestead. Starting from this the
court, step by step, showed that the
evidence was sufficient to support the
verdict. In regard to the newly dis
covered evidence, which consisted OF
two letters which Gerke alleges he re-
ceived, the court said that the letters
were entitled to no consideration be-
cause they were not material upon the
issue of defendants guilt and further
because they might have been put in
evidence at the trial if the defendant
had chosen to do so. The court does
not believe that one of the letters
came through the mail as defendant
claims. The court said that the de-
fendant had had fair trial by jury
above the average, perhaps, in char
acter and ability and that he did not
feel called upon under the circum-
stances to disturb the verdict. Gerke
when asked if he had anything to say
called upon Heaven to witness his in
nocence. The court said: "If you are
guilty YOU are a man of dangerous
character, if you are innocent you
have my pity" and sentenced him to
ten years in the penitentiary. Gerke
then made some further demonstra-
tions and was taken away TO the Jail.
No definite information has been given
out as to whether or not the case will
be appealed.
1t is likely that Gerke will be taken
to Waupun the last of this week

Men Favored to Teach Girls.

Arguments as to whether men or
women should be employed to educate
girls are being heard great deal
nowadays. Many women think men
teachers exert a greater influence on
girls and make them do more study
ing Others contend women teachers
have more refining influence. Il am
tired" said one man, of the con-
stant demand for women as COVER
nesses for girls. l am convinced gov
ernesses have narrowing influence
on girls, whereas well-trained men
have broadening mental influence.
II Is true the majority OF studies may
be taught more effectively by men
and that their minds are more log.
ical 1t Is true women may have
greater tact, more sympathy than
men, but in the training of children
the mans mind, being broader, has a
more lasting influence. "--Pittsburg
Dispatch.

Everyone whose acquaintance with
Forrest is not intimate, gets the idea
that he is cold impersonation of the
law, and that the color of his thought
is inexorably professional. Some
years ago when he went fishing up the
river and drew the shining beauties
out with such vim that he slung them
across the peninsula, people were un.
able to explain the phenomenon. Blu,
he is capable of still further detection
from the perpendicular rigidity of ex
treme professional ideas. On Friday
last he went through the complicated
movements of difficult dance with
precision, methodical exactness and
grace, albeit with solemnity and de.
liberation suited to court of law
He was quickly followed in the realm
of youthful jollity" by some other law
yers present and couple Of physicians
who thought they could caper as
nimbly as Forrest could, but their
movements were hodenish in con-
trast. Forrest is versatile "cuss''
even with his feet.
