HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Friday afternoon a lyceum
program of special preparation was
rendered before the entire high school.
1t was a program in commemoration
of the dedication of Gettysburg Gem
etery some fifty years ago. "a Per
feet Tribute was the first number
on the program, rendered by Albert
Mohr and this selection was given in
a way that held the attention of every
person in the audience and that is
saying great deal for an adience of
high school pupils is mighty hard
one TO keep quiet. julie Young now
sang "a Perfect Day. and this number
was very heartily received and ap-
plauded. Frank Rowley gave 1.-THE
Counsel Assigned, another most in
teresting selection and splendidly de-
livered. The afternoon program was
closed by several beautiful solos rem
dered by the Girls Glee club. The
participants of this program deserve
a great deal of praise for this diligent
work to perfect this number.
The city schools will close their
doors next Thursday and Friday and
on those days the industrious scholars
of the high school and grades will be
obliged to remain without.
Miss Rankins, domestic science
teacher in the high school, is i'll and
has been unable to hold her classes.
She has left for her home in Oak
Park, H., where she will recuperate
during the coming week so that if
possible she will receive her classes

The Lincoln Debating society held
its third annual meeting at the high
school last evening and there most
pleasant evening was spent. An ex-
temporaneous subject had been chosen
in that examinations in our public
schools are not fair test of a stu
dents knowledge and this question
was turned over and over and viewed
on all sides in a way that was very
interesting. Almost every one pres
ent took some part in the program
and this is something that those in
terested hope will continue. In at
tendance the Misses Flower, thinner
man and Stoddard acted as those who
were TO give their opinion on those
whom they thought would make a sue
cess on the debating teams to be
soon chosen for the coming year.
| Following this the business of the
club was under discussion. 1t was
decided by those present that at some
time in the near future an informal
dance or hard times party be given
and committee was appointed by
Vice-President julie Young. Thus, fol.
lowing general good time, the meet
ing was adjourned

"Pam's" Little Joke.

Doctor Butler, the master of Trim
ity. who was entertained by the Har
row association recently, told an in
teresting story of Palmerston. He re-
membered, he said, one speech day
when Palmerston went. 1t rained the
whole day. Palmerston galloped
down from the Cambridge house. He
came and sat for two hours in his
wet clothes listening to the speeches.
He went out at the end not a bit
abashed in spirit, and stood with the
governors and a number of the boys,
and began to speak.
Doctor Butler" He was corrected.
and told it was "Mr." Butler. Il beg
pardon he said, mr.. Butler. No
man should be doctored against his
will"
Another story was to illustrate the
fact that sometimes logic was over
come by personal feeling. He remem-
bered many years ago meeting little
boy riding on his pony. He said to
him:

side to win. / believe we are going
to play Elton. Do you wish them to

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Madison, Wis, Nov. 11.-Goy. Nc
Governs proclamation designates Nov.
y, as Thanksgiving day
'As the year 1913 approaches its
close, says the proclamation, sit is
manifest that no state in the Union
has greater reason for profound thank
fulness than has Wisconsin. Sound
health, profitable employment and
abundant success have attended our
people throughout the year. There
has been no catastrophe of food or
storm. Instead, the good spirits of
sunshine and rain have lowered over
our land, covering the earth with
natural beauty and insuring to the
farmer abundant crops. The arteries
of trade are pulsing with a full flow
of the rich fruits of the soil and the
valuable products of our shops, fac
tories and mills. Truly, our cup of
gladness and contentment is running
over.
'ln recognition of the goodness of
Providence, therefore, in conformity
with established custom and in ac-
cordance with the proclamation of
the president of the United States, /,
Francis e. McGovern, governor of the
state of Wisconsin, do hereby desi-
gnate and appoint Thursday, the
twenty-seventh day of November, 1913,
as Thanksgiving day, and l recon-
mend that our people meet on that
day in their accustomed places of
worship and offer thanksgiving and
praise to God, who has SO carefully
watched over us through the year and
made our labors fruitful"

CcRKScREW BRIDGE.
Long Been A Monument Of The Stub
bornness Of Thee. & N.
W. r. R. Co.

A good deal has been published
about the bridge on Single Ave-,
which has not been within several
miles of the facts, hence it would be
just as well to straighten them out.
Everybody going down Grand Avenue
has noticed the high arched bridge
crossing the c. g. N. w. R'y. cut.
This has been the cause of good
many questions being asked, some
thinking it was just an ornament to
heighten the beauty of the surround
ings in that vicinity. 1t is nothing
of the sort, but just stupid piece of
work put in by the G. & n. w. Ry.
Co., which it has persistenly refused
to change.
In April, 1907, a survey was made
and map prepared and submitted to
the city council which vas filed with
the City Clerk on the 18th of April,
1907, with view of having the G. g.
N. w. R'y. Co., build a bridge over
its tracks at Single avenue to replace
the one which that company had re-
moved several years previous. The
company persistently refused to re-
build the bridge, but the city finally
threatened to take the matter before
the r. r. Commission and the Com
pany then drew up articles of agree
ment which were submitted to COM
mittee of the city council and in due
time signed. While no dimensions of
the proposed bridge were stated, it
was supposed by the city that the
bridge would be the same as the old
one, as to elevation Instead, the
company erected a bridge with an
elevation of ten feet above adjoining
streets, which entirely prohibited it's
use and it has since been known as
Elevated Corkscrew." Since the
bridge was built several years ago, the
city has kept at the company asking
that.it put the bridge in shape for use,
but this it has refused to do. The past
summer the G. & n. w. R'y. Co.
agreed TO let the city make certain
changes in the bridge at each end SC
that it can be used. The Wausau
Iron Works took the contract for
making these changes and that com
pany in now rushing the work and ii
will be in readiness the last of this
week. At best, the bridge will always
be an eye-sore. 1t can never be used
for heavy traffic on account Of its
steep approaches.
The city or its officials at no timt
9 have had anything TO say about thi
bridge, until the recent agreement
made between the city and the com
pany.
