COMMITTEE TO
MEET TUESDAY
Absence of Judge Woold-
ridge Results In Post
ment of Canvass.
RECOUNT TO BE ASKED
X. II. Williams. Defeated Candidate
For Sheriff, To Ask For Re-
view OF Ballots.

Owing to the absence of Judge w.
L. Woodbridge, member of the SUBJ
committee from the jefferson County
Democratic Central Committee. which
primary election held in this CITY
and county last Tuesday. the COM
mittee did not meet 10 canvass the
vote yesterday afternoon, as an
nounccd, but adjourned to meet Tues
day morning at 10 O'Clock at the
court house for that purpose. Judge
Woodbridge is at present attending
the circuit court at Risoa, Cleveland
county. The other members of the
sub committee are f.. II. Walker
AID 10 Nichol, secretary of the county
committee.
1t was announced yesterday by At
tOrncy S. ! Hunt, however, that r.
II. Williams, the defeated candidate
for sheriff. would, when the COM
mittee meets Tuesday ask that the
votes cast in all the wards in this
city and al the townships inthe coun-
ty be recGunted. Mr. Williams will
be represt, lted at the committee ses-
sion by Attorney Greed Caldwell and
S. j Hnr.t.
This does not necessarily mean
that Mr.. Williams is going to con-
test the election. said Mr.. Hunt,
but We shall ask for a recount, not
a canvass of the votes cast, at Tues
days election, and We want the votes
in every hox recounted. We are en-
titled to this and we will show the
sub committee our legal authority
for asking It,"
Although Constable Evan Parnell,
who was defeated for constable OF
Vaugne township by but II votes,
is not .aclJned to contest his elec-
ton, beiag more DESTROYS of bowling
to the will Of the majority. he will
ask for recount Of the vote in GER
tain wards ii a contest Is brougas
about in the sheriff's race. He is
said to have information to. the eff
feet that number of votes were not
counted FIR him because the voters
failed to mark their ballots. properly
in other races.
There IS little doubt but that Cal
A. Newton, Of Whitevile township,
defeated candidate for representative,
will also take the same stand If a
contest is waged in the sheriff's race.
Mr.. Newton was defeated for third
place on the legislative ticket by B.
f. Hoker, the later's majority over
him beiny but fifteen votes.
The sentiment against contest In
any of the races is general through
out the city and county, because of
the absolute fairness that prevailed
on election day. The sub coramittee :
has been instructed to canvass the
vote and declare the nominees and
this procedure will be final, it is
said uness the contest papers are
filed with the county central COM
mittee, which would result in poll
teal fight in that body. In the
history of jefferson county there has
never been one successful election
contest waged and it is generally pre-
dicted that contest at this time will
result in no good to the contestants
or the Democratic party.

AN EGYPTIAN BRACELET
BY CORA JOHNSON.

The collector OF antique jewelry
emptied the contents of her jewel
casket on the table, and turned to her
companion, saying:
Here is a bracelet which am sure
you will like. Examine it closely, for
the workmanship is particularly beau
tiful and the large sapphire in the
center almost fiawless. 1t has an in
teresting history, for it once adorned
the arm of Atossa, an Egyptian prin-
cess.
One day while visiting Cairo,
stopped at the bazar to make some
purchases. Hating before jewelers.
booth | gazed at the display of an
tiques, rare examples of the ancient
goldsmiths' craft.
Several rings appealed to me, but
| could not quite make up my mind
to buy The jew eler schooled through
much dealing with tourists, realized
this, and not caring to miss a sale,
took a small ebony box from a shelf,
which he unlocked and drew forth This
bracelet, necklace and several am
ulets.
when l eagerly reached for the
bracelet he smiled and said: L knew
that you could not resist the jewel of
Atossa, and when | relate how it came
into my possession it will increase in
value tenfold. An ancestress of mine
was the favorite companion of the
princess, not because she was of no
BILE birth, but because the erratic
Atossa wanted the most beautiful
naidens in the kingdom for her as
sociates, and she was among those
chosen.
Her name was Maroda and she
played on the harp with wonderful
SKILL
The princess seldom joined the
court at its rev els, preferring to en-
joy the beauties of the garden on
the housetops, surrounded by her
maidens.
When the Persians invaded Egypt
and Canbyses occupied the royal pal
ace with Pharaoh, Atossa pleaded
with her father until he agreed that
she should live in one section of the
palace, seldom frequented by his
household. Here her privacy would
be respected and she could remain
in retirement until the Persian guests
departed.
One evening, when the princess
and her maidens were bn the house
tops enjoying the cool breezes of the
night, a messenger summoned her to
the kings presence. She was com
manded to attire herself and her
maidens in gorgeous raiment and APP
pear before the guests.
'Atossa refused to obey, and the
Infatuated king sent seven soldiers,
each of whom bore a struggling maid
en- to the royal presence. Atossa knelt
before her father, asking for pardon
that she might return to her apart
ments.
1.-The evil had been wrought, how
ever, for Cambyses commanded Pha-
raoh to consent to his marriage with
Atossa. Too late the Egyptian king
realized his grave mistake and re-
fused his consent, for the princess was
little more than a child and Cambyses
long past his youth. Then the Per-
sian king ordered his guards to seize
the princess to carry her to his
ship.
AS she left the banqueting hall
she took the bracelet from her arm
and threw u to Maroda. Keep this
for love of me-" she said.
my ancestress never saw her
again, and the bracelet has been in
our possession ever since. but l need
money and must sell it,

alton Series And State Cham
pionship Contest.

An old-fashioned "spellin' match
brought up-to-date, viii be one of the
best features of the Wisconsin state
fair Milwaukee, September s to Il.
County winners in preliminary con-
tests between pupils of one depart

ship. Competitors win be provided
with badges and the winner of the
state championship will receive a sill
yer medal
In past years complaint has been
rife among employers that many
young people otherwise well educated
are deficient in spelling. The board
of agriculture and Supt. George w.
Davies, North Freedom, of the educa-
ton department, devised the state
spelling contest with a series of pre-
liminary competitions in the towns
and counties as an incentive to direct
attention to spelling, and with remark
ably satisfactory results. A list of
5000 words was prepared and by early
summer the preliminary contests were
in progress in three-fodrths of the
counties.
In order TO confine the good work
to the rank and file of pupils none who
holds a common school diploma or
dinIoy,o Of roduotiOu from, tho aipbtb
grade of state graded school is al
lowed to compete In order for a
county winner to be eligible in the
state competition, contests must be
| held in at least fifty per cent of the
towns in a county and at least fifty
per cent of the schools in each town
| must be represented in the town con-
| test Also at least fifty per cent of
| the towns must be represented in the
| county contest. County or district
f, contests must be under the super
vision of the county superintendent
| of schools. The state contest at the
| fair will be in charge of Supt. Davies.
Competitors in the state contest will
| be guests of the board of agriculture,
| Tuesday and Wednesday, September
9 and 10. The board will reimburse
these young guests their railroad fare
both ways and provide free lodging
and board Tuesday and Wednesday.
The preliminary contests must be
written, but the contest at the state
fair will be oral-genuine spell

Bakin' Powdah."

George w. Cable, the novelist, used
to know, in his early days, a little.
colored girl named Katie. She was
somewhat hard of hearing and often
when he would tell her something she
would say "Huh?"
He tired of Katie's granting this
way so at last he said: Katie, when
ever l say anything to your that you
don't understand, never say Huh? to-
me. Say Beg pardon That's ever
so much nicer. Now dort forget,
Katie"
About a week later he found her
swinging on the gate. Anxious to-
test her memory, he asked: We'll,
Katie, what is it you're to say to Mr..
Gable instead of'EHuh p
Katie's eyes sparkled as she quickly
answerad "Bakin' powdah."

Gustaye Mueller, passed away at his
home 700 Garfield avenue, between

to such an extent that he could do
very little work. That his appetite
was excellent and he seemed very
hopeful of getting some relief.

years ago and came to this country
direct to Wausau in 1868. He was in
the store of the late August Kick
busch for many years and later was
