CORN SHOW ASUCCESS
News From the Office of the County
Superintendent.

Attendance reports for the third
month are nearly all completed and the
attendance for the first three months
has been very good. Some Irregular
ty appears on the records and these
will be reported to the state this week.
There as been a great deal of com.
ment upon the corn show held last
month and the prizes were well scat
tered over the county. The boys have
some good seed for another show, and
the boys are talking corn show for
another year. A number of letters
have been received from boys regard
ing their work with the corn and
amount they raised. Griffin Griffiths
of district No. "A, Ridgeway, reports
that he raised bushels and 10 pounds
from his one half pound of seed
Miss Mabel Hanson reports that
literary society has been organized in
district No. 5 Wyoming that meets
every two weeks to carry out a pro
gram of Debates musics etc There is
no reason why this should not be of
great benefit to the community and
every person who attends. Why are so
few districts organized? With unlim
tied amount of good material, these
meetings will be looked forward to by
all in the district.
The following teachers have reported

In visiting the schools of the county,
the county superintendent finds that
few of the patrons of the district visit
the school. This should not be the fact
The welfare of the children demand
that you visit and carefully inspect the
equipment to see that the children and
teacher are supplied with the essentials
of good school.
The law requires that the teacher be
the leader in the plays and games of
the children, and now that the days
when children can not play out of
doors are here the teacher should teach
new games, assist the children in their
play. Mr.. Cary's little book of plays and
games is an excellent one and should
be in every school.
A little book on agriculture known MS
100 lessons in agriculture" can be
found in the school library. This book
should find its way into every farm
home during the winter.
All school news reported to the of
flee will be carefully looked after by
the county uperinteudent.

Old Cemeteries of Wisconsin.

An appeal for the preservation of the
issued by the Waukesha county histor-
ical society. The appeal states that
some of these cemeteries are in a pitt
able state of neglect and decay, and
that the remains of the pioneers are en-
titled to more respect than this. 1t is
hoped that Il public sentiment will be
created that will prevent the neglect or
abandonment of these old resting
places. The movement is one worthy
of the support of the people.

find December number of the magazine
from which the piece of paper had been
taken. AS no effort had been made to
look in other undertaking establishments
for the copy of the ma gazine from which
was not a square deal to offer the eX-
hibit His objection was sustained.
When all the evidence for the state was
in. Attorney Kane said Breen had been
charged with conspiracy and not with
putting and carrying the dynamite to the
places where it was found. That the
only evidence against Breen was that he
had secured evidence of where dynamite
might be found and had SO informed the
police; that no evidence had been sub
mitted to show that Breen had any re-
lations with any OF those people in Whose
places dynamite had been found. and
there was no reason to believe he mad
conspired with any of those persons. He
reviewed Mr. Breens services as public
citizen and said he had done what he
could to preserve the public peace and
safety. If it had been Breen's purpose to
help Woodcock to find the dynamite why
did he not tell him and keep Vose from
finding it? The fact that Vose did find
the dynamite precluded any suspicion
that Breen was trying to help out Wood

Wreck of the
Maine Is FlOated.

Havana Feb. 1.-The long protract-
ed task of raising the sunlSen battle
slip Maine was crowned with success,
today, when the after section, which
was not injured by the explosion and
which comprises approximately half
the total length of the Inflated ves-
sell was set afioat. Barely sufficient
water was admitted within the Golfer
dam to free the hulk from the mud
in which it was deeply imbeded, but.
tonight, it floats almost on an even
keel, though somewhat down at the
stern and much above it's normal line
of fiotation in consequence of the re-
moval of the heavy weights on deck,
especially the after turret and its
guns The hull, into which a bulkhead
had been fitted, proved perfectly wa
ter tight.
Major Harley b. Ferguson, chief engl-
neer in charge of the work. intends now
to cease admitting water within the cof-
ferdam until the portions of the shatter.
ed forward section of the battleship are
removed, which will be matter of !
few days, After this. it will be a simple
matter to admit sufficient water to raist
the hulk to the harbor level. Then a sec.
ton of the cofferdam will be removed
and the hulk will be fioated out into tlit
bay.
Three bodies were found, this evening
during an exploration of the extrens
bow section of the Maine. 3.

defeated at the polls. Could political
confusion be worse COMPOUNDED?
"a constructive program does not pre-
sent insurmountable difficulties. Congress
could in very short time adopt policy
that would give both immediate and pros
pective relief, and this could be done By
working somewhat along the following
lines: Immediate relief.
First, create at once, in or out of the
department of commerce and labor, 4
business court or controlling commission,
composed largely of experienced business
men
"Second, give this body power to license
corporations doing an interstate on in
ternal business.
Third, make such license depend upon
the ability of corporation to comply
with conditions laid down by Congress
when creating such commission, AMI
with such regulations as may be pre-
scribed by the commission itself.
Fourth make publicity before and aft
er license is issued the essential feature
of these rules and regulations. Require
each company to secure the approval ,i
said commission of all its affairs, from
its capitalization to its business prac
tees. In the beginning lay down only
broad principles with a view to elaborat-
ing and perfecting them as conditions
require.
Fifth, make the violation of such
rules and regulations punishable by i'm
prisonment of individuals rather than by
the revocation of the license of the COM
pany, adopting in this respect the meth
cd of procedure against national banks
in case of wrongdoing.
Prospective relief.
First the House and the Senate tc
join at once in supporting commission
to make a careful study of the Sherman
law and the various suggestions thai
have been made regarding it's repeal
amendment and amplihcation.
Second, said commission to study an6
report on the wisdom and practicabilitl
of a national incorporation act
