Opposes Patronage Pledges.

But there is something worse even
than using money in prenomination cam
paigns, and that is to give promises OF
appointment to office. 1 think that is
more demoralizing than the spending OF
money.

fore nomination, too. The people are
entitled to know where the money has
come from that is used to forward the

thus far they report seeing nothing more
menacing than the enemy's scouts.
Gen. Orozco declares the movements of
Gen. Huerta, the field marshal of the fed

When Campo had planted his rapid

the mayor of Parral by telephone and

CITY WATER.

The corporation daily still insists
that the water commissioners and the
superintendent of water works knew
that water from the old we'll was be-
ing pumped into the water mains
during the flood Of July. Also they
knew of the well water which was
pumped in when the well was low
cred, etc. Well, our people ought to
be able to stand a squirt of this old
well writer when there was no way to
prevent it, and certainly the depart
ment has done mighty well to give
such good service, taking into consid-
Grafton the damage done by the floods.
There is no need of the corporation
organ working itself into fit over
fancied wrongs committed by our
water commissioners. 1t need have
no fears that the commissioners will
give orders to have water taken from
the old well when there is a great
plenty in the new ones. The COM
missioners should be commended for
their excellent work the past summer
instead of being condemned, under She
circumstances

Partially to conceal the deficiency.
Marshall had a pretty talent for mix

Sheridan club, as his friends dropped
In to dine, they noticed him preparing

he alone seemed to know the secret
Immediately there were cries Of
Frank, make me one at the same

for me, too" and, beaming with salts
faction at the compliment to his skill,
Frank called for more lettuces, chives,
tarragon and other ingredients. And
when he had chopped up his herbs
into minute fragments and mixed his
salad in his own way everyone was
delighted.
A few more neishbors begged for
stray leaves, and finally one erthusl-
astic gourmand wiped the bowl round
with ball of bread, and turned up
his eyes in ecstasy ss he gulped
down the savory morsol But the race

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Farmers Eastern Telephone Company
Organized Yesterday

For some time there has been a
move on foot to make the telephone
line running to the town of Hewitt
part Of a farmers telephone system.
The line was built and is owned by
the Wausau Telephone company. 1t
is proposed to run party lines into
the most settled farmers districts
along this feeder and have aoout
twelve telephones to line, which
will run into the central office OF the
Wausau Telephone Co. in this city.
Subscribers cail talk with each other
on the same line without calling up
central. They can talk to anyone in
the city OF Wausau or any of the sub
scribers in the new company at fat
rate of $3.50 per month, and will have
long distance connections.
The new company has been capital
lied for $1,000 and it is designed to
purchase the line of the Walsau
Telephone company. Go on and Sc
cure subscribers, construct the lines
and have the system in working order
within few months.
1t can readily be seen that this
gives the farmer who lives anywhere
from--one to twelve miles from the
city, telephone service at the same
monthly price as that charged in the
city.
The stockholders met yesterday
and organized. The meeting was
held in the offices of the Wausau
Telephone Co.'S building. e. B.
Thayer was chosen temporary chair
man and James Montgomery temper
airy secretary. An adjournment was
taken until 5 p. M, when the follow
ing directors were elected: N. Hell
neman. f. p. Stone, James Mont
gomery, w. W. Albers aud E B.
Thayer. The directors met later and
elected the following officers:
President-W. w. Albers.
Vice President-E. B. Thayer.
Secretary-James Montgomery.
Treas.-N. Heinemann.
1t was voted to enter into a con-
tract with @. 4, Silkworth of Milwau-
kee to canvass the district for sub
scribers. 1t is expected that within
q short time the farmers in the east
ern portion OF our county will have a
most complete system at a nominal
rate.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Last week Mr.. Il. ]. Sullivan of the
university extension division gave a
pleasing address before the students
Of both the Training and the Agri-
cultural schools, on the subject OF
personality.
Miss Bohrer visited schools in
Ringle, Hatley and Norrie on Friday.
The work in reading in all schools
was superior to much of the teaching
done in that line in many parts OF
the country.
Mr.. Paff of Heights was a visitor at
the training school last week. He is
one of the school clerks of this county
who has always taken great interest
in discharging the duties of that office
in the most efficient manner possible.
Good teaching is the prime requisite,
he believes.
Miss Jessie Bohrer and Miss Jessie
Sheridan, both OF ST. Paul, spent Sun
day with Miss Bohrer. Through the
courtesy of the Fromm brothers, a
very pleasant half day was spent at
the home of the latter in Hamburg.
-Four of the boys were graduated from
the training school in the years Of
1902 and 1906. Much interest was
aroused in the various lines of indus
try which inc boys are exploiting in
correction With the old time farming
and dairying. They are raising gin
seng, Belgian hares and foxes, and
are rapidly eXjelt'ng each industry.
Not only have lazy been interested
i'm this work but have not neglected
the artistic side of life and have
carried orchestra music to high de-
gree of perfection in skill and inter
probation, unknown TO any but metro
politan orchestras.
A splendid program was presented
by Mr.. Wells division on Friday
afternoon, Oct. I'd.
