We think the matter is that the
Journal is strongly prejudiced against
the council and is so biased that
it cannot take a fair view of the
situation.
We fail to see where anything
has been produced to give any reas-
enable basis for the TRADE the Jour-
nal has INDUCED in on this ques-
ton. The whole thing looks to us
like much ado over nothing and
for comedy has the Shakespearean
version backed off the boards. The
council, after due consideration, en-
tered into a contract with the light
ing company, as is customary else
where, whereas the Journal editor
was opposed to awarding any con-
tract at all and consequently would
have been unable to have seen any
good in any contract that might be
drawn up, regardless of its provis-
ions When the council awarded the
Sohti aCt IL was u IOI CSOic COiiClu-
sion that it would not suit him, for
he did not want to have a contract
let and Brother Maloney seems in
clined to think everything is going
dead wrong and does not agree with
his preferences. 1t is all right to
have opinions and stick up for them,
but it does not follow that one should
violently abuse those who have differ
ing opinions.
The people of Ladysmith are not
losing any sleep over this lighting
contract. If the rates are not right
the railroad commission will change

AS Others See 1t

The Ladysmith Journal seems to
be real mad at the city council up
there, all over city lighting con-
tract the council proposes giving to
somebody. Cannot blame the Jour-
nal for that, but what does seem
wrong is that while it has columns
of criticism, it offers nothing but
that Will it kindly and more quiet
ly tell us what the matter really
is? We read, for instance from the
Journal:
LAS to the question Of fairness Of
the rate of $50 per light per year,
We have nothing to say, for the very
sufficient reason that We don't know
and haven't sufficient information to
form a belief"
1t sounds like a political hub-dub
or flub-dub on the part of good Edi-
tor Maloney, for, going further We
notice this, that has the earmarks:
"On second reading, we notice that
the council says it was to give op-
portunity to all persons interested.
Perhaps they don't consider the or
binary citizen an interested party"
And the wind-up reads like this:
when we were talking of establish
ing the commission form of govern
ment We heard much about applying
business .methods to city government
they seem to have gotten lost in
the shuttle"
That's not fair unless it's true,
and is what calls our attention to
the whole matter. In six or seven
lines can the Journal or some one
else in Ladysmith say what is the
matter? At the present time either
the Ladysmith Journal or the coun-
Gil is giving the pushing city of Rusk
county something of pretty black
eye. Under existing state laws
there are doubts in the merits of a
lighting contract being entered into,
but at the same time there are those
who favor contracts and We are in
clined to think that the railroad
commission does, and many believe
in contracts for the best interests
of the public. At least the question
could be discussed without columns
and columns of limiting at something
or kind of abuse that is given Of
ficials, apparently for belittling them
Or driving them out of office. 1t is
continual fault-finding that weakens
the fighting spirit of any good Off
cial, and newspaper is quite heart
less if it makes charges that are not
well grounded. Eau Claire Leader.

NEWS OF TEN YEARS AGO 4:
A Fatal Accident

We are called upon this week to
chronicle one of the saddest acct
dents that has ever come before our
notice, the death of one of Lady
smiths most highly esteemed citi-
zens, Frank Dolezal.
The accident occurred Sunday
when Frank had gone out for a
walk in the afternoon and was in
his usual good mood. He walked
down the railroad track to the
bridge east of this city, and when
on the bridge heavily loaded train
came laundering around the bend ap-
preaching the bridge, and gave the
alarm of danger. Frank stood out on
the ties as far as possible, but I'M
fortunately not far enugh, when a
beam on the front part of the en-
CINE struck him in the side. throw
ing him into the ditch about twelve
feet below.
The trainmen notified the peo-
pie who were standing near the de-
pot as to what had occurred who
took a hand-car and Immediately went
to the rescue. When they reached the
unfortunate one he was found sit
ting upon the railroad track, having
climbed back himself He was then
taken to the Prentice hotel where
he received medical aid
Frank talked to those who were
allowed to see him and said he
thought he would get well, but he
was not aware that he had sustained
a fatal internal injury which would
cause death in the course of a few
hours. At 6:3S Monday morning he
passed peacefully away to his eter-
nal home.

The j. l.. Gates Land Co. has been
doing great deal of advertising for
Ladysmith and vicinity and in any
kind of booster edition" gotten
out for northern Wisconsin their adj
vertisement will usually be found in
one of the best positions and they
always take pains to put La
dysmith on the map" Of course, this
helps sell their lands, but it also
helps others do likewise and is big
help toward the settling up of this
section. Ladysmith owes this COM
pany debt of gratitude May their
good work keep on.

CONE TOGETHER.

Minot, N. d.. Jan. 49, John Bar
nett Of this city, employed by the
Great Northern as a freight con-
.ductor between here and Devils
Lake, was quite badly injured in a
rear-end collision between two freight
trains, which occurred a short dis
tance east Of Towner
Barnett's train left Towner shortly
after O'Clock and when about a mile
out an accident occurred to the en-
gine and the train became stalled Al
tiagman was sent out to stop any
trains approaching from the west, but
had not gotten far when a second
freight train approached. On account
of the slippery track the engineer
was unable to bring the train to a
stop and it crashed into the caboose
at the rear of the first train. Bar
nett was sitting at MS desk in the
caboose when the collision occurred
and knew nothing of the approaching
train from the west The caboose
was almost completely demolished
and Barnett sustained several broken
ribs, a broken collar bone and other
painful injuries.
1t is also reported that the brake
man on Barnett's train WAS injured,
but this could not be verified 1t is
understood that he sustained a broken
leg. His home is said to be in this
city.
The other train was In charge Of
Conductor Andrew r. Klattie, also Of
this city No one on the second train
was injured, however The tracks
were cleared about 10 O'clock and
regular traffic resumed.
