WILL MAKE AN INVESTIGATION
r. r. Commission Will Look Into
Local Electric Rates and
Service.

At the request of one of the city
commissioners, the state railroad COM
mission will make an investigation
in the near future of the rates
charged and service given patrons
by the Ladysmith Lighting Co. The
exact date of the hearing, which will
doubtless be held at Madison, has
not yet been decided.
This investigation, which by the
way is welcomed by the lighting
company is not inspired by any
hostile feeling to that company, but
rather that the city administration
may know how the rates charged here
and the service granted in return
compares with that in other cities.
If the investigation shows the ex-
listing rates are too high, a reduction
will be ordered, but as is just as
likely, il the rates are shown to be
inadequate to give the company the
compensation they may reasonably
expect, the rates will be advanced.
The matter of day service will also
doubtless be considered.

ANOTHER GOOD CO.
LADYSMtTH PEOPLE HAVE
SPLENDID ATTRACTION FOR
BALANCE OF WEEK.,
THE OBRECHT STOCK COMPANY
Fine Attraction Here for Balance of
the Week

The Obrecht STOCK Co., an organ
ization of twelve people, with con-
cert band and orchestra, is the at
traction at the opera house for the
balance of the week. This is one of
the best repertoire companies that
has ever visited the city and should
be we'll patronized. Considering the
prices, it doubtless will be.
The company played a continuous
run of sixteen weeks at La Crosse,
and the Tribune of that city has the
following to say of it:
The Obrecht Stock Company closed
a weeks engagement at the Audi
torium last night to a packed house
and no company ever left with a
better reputation than they Their
plays are new, clean, up-to-date,
properly dressed and presented.
The vaudeville between acts is up
to the minute. OF the musical part,
the Obrecht Sisters Orchestra, too
much can not be said in it's praise,
and there are many who will tell
you that this part OF their nights
performance was alone Well worth
the price Of admission charged. Not
like most companies, they do not
try to see how little they can hand
you and yet get your money, but
give you all you could reasonably
expect and then throw in. little
more for good measure. Their motto
is, Well use you so well you want
to come and see us again" They
are ladies and gentlemen we'll wor-
thy Of the most generous patronage
OF the public wherever they go.
Special popular prices have been
made for the engagement of 10, 20
and 80 cents.

PROUD OF OUR BUSINESS PLACES
Letter Written BY w. Hf II. IngIe
in Thompson Mere. Co.'s Con-
test

Ladysmith, Wis, July 81, 1918.
Thompson Mercantile Company,
Dear Sirs: When / am away from
home | take delight in telling the
people about our stores. That the
people living in our city, in order
to get value received for their mon
ey do not have to send to some
large department store in Chicago,
Or any other foreign market for their
goods, but right here in Ladysmith
in our own stores, flour, boots and
shoes, furniture, paints and oils,
hardware and all kinds of farming
implements can be purchased cheap
er than you can get them by sending
away for them.
When people come to visit me, |
take pleasure in showing them how
Well our city is equipped with edu-
cational institutions by showing them
our highschool building, training
school and first ward school building.
After showing them our school build
ings, | take them On trip thru our
city, visiting our paper mills, Flam-
beau River Lbr Co.'s mill and the
Menasha Wooden Ware Co.'S plant.
Il you will look in Webster's die
tionary, you will find the word Flam-
beau means "a flaming TORCH" used
in illustrations. So our beautiful city
of Ladysmith stands on the banks of
the Flambeau river as a flaming
torch light, representing education
and industry.

H. Oldendorf is making extensive
alterations and Improvements in his
tailor shop. He has had a basement
excavated under the building, full
size, which will prove a great con-
venience to him and in which he
intends to install a heating plant in
another year or two. What was for
merly store room at the rear is be-
ing fitted up for the work room and
is roomy ard well-lighted. The par
tition separating the store part from
the present workroom has been taken
out and this makes great increase
in the room Mr.. Oldendorf has for
his growing stock of goods.
A new plate glass front will also
be put in within the next few days
and Mr.. Oldendorf will then have a
very fine establishment.

the back, and Guy Adams. and p.
A. McQuillan We're bruised up some
what when a stairway at the rear
OF the Reed building collapsed few
minutes before noon last Friday as
the four named We're carrying a
steam radiator upstairs. Mr. Nc
Quillan and the other three, who were
employed by him, had just reached
the top Of the stairs when the acci-
dent occurred.
Jeness never uttered word, nor
did he move after striking the
ground. The others picked them
selves up quickly and doctor was
summoned, although he was not need
ed for death had been instantaneous.
The skull had been crushed in, eyi-
dently by the radiator, the mans
head laying in pool of blood and
brains
Deceased was 81 years of age and
single. He came here about three
years ago from South Dakota. His

who lives Oh a farm out from that
place and only twelve miles south
west of Ladysmith. A son, Clyde,
also makes his home on the Bollman
place. Mrs. Jeness was anticipating
the pleasure of seeing Almon Sun

almost unbearable. The news was

by her nephew, Chas. Jeness, OF this
city, who rode out in his auto.

CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CAN
ADA

The following is from a recent
edition of the Idaho Statesman:
The elysium of Canada may be
more matter of boom advertising
than of fact. In The Times of Moose
Jaw, in it's issue of July 10, appears
a front page article three columns
wide bearing the following heading:
WESTERN CANADA
NEARLY BANKRUPT
The article tells of a financial
stringency of heart-rending proper
tions:
The facts are being carefully con-
cealed, but every city in the west
between Winnipeg and the coast
seems to be up against it. The city
of Moose Jaw has discharged score S
of workmen and some of the city
employees have not been paid for
June. The city's bankers seem abso-
lutely unable to cope with the situ-
alton and have not cent to lend
apparently.
Every firm in the city of Moose
Jaw is hard up and collections are
well nigh impossible. Wages are un-
paid everywhere.
That is only part of the story, but
it is sufficient to indicate again that
enchantment is often matter OF
mileage.

In prison by the court, which fact
speaks forcibly Of his guilt, consider
Ing his social standing, his influence
and money. Yet in spite Of all these
che sentence was pronounced, so the
Ease against him was plain and un-
erring. But Hyde had friends among
the prominent politicians who per
haps would have exerted every in
fluence to eve secure an acquittal In
court had the evidence been lacking
in any essential. Failing in this, hope
was not lost for there yet remained
the power Of the president to pardon
the convicted man. President Taft
erred when he disregarded the decree
Of the court and listened TO the plead
ings of a bunch of politicians for elem
ency. In %pardoning Hyde President
Taft emphasized the popular suspi-
cion that laws are interpreted one
way for the rich and quite a different
way for the poor. AS a comparison
for this allegation the case Of a ten
year old boy in Georgia may be cited
who was sentenced to the reforma-
tory for eleven years for stealing a
bottle Of pop. His father Is laboring
for his pardon, but no doubt the boy
will serve out the full sentence.
The politicians Of the various
creeds who signed the petition for
pardon and gave Hyde a clean bill
need not load the blame on the other
fellow, but plead guilty before the
great court of public opinion.
