SCHOOL MEETING NEXT MONDAY
Everyone Who is Interested in Hav.
ing Good Schools Should Attend

word was received after last
weeks papers were out that the re-
cent election to decide whether to
change the schools back into the
district system or not was valid and
the proposition having carried, the
flrst annual school meeting under the
new system was held pursuant to law
Monday night. Inasmuch as many
OF the voters had no knowledge Of
the meeting whatever. it was the
sense OF majority present at the
meeting that an adjournment should
be taken for a week to give time
for sufficient notice to be given
the public
The meeting as adjourned will take
place next Monday night at the high
school building, commencing at
O'Clock. 1t is to be hoped that large
number of citizens, both men and
women, will turn out to make the
lheetlng representative one. as
there are many matters of impor-
tance to come up.
The only business transacted be-
tore adjournment was the election
of L. c. Streater as chairman of the
meeting and F. E. Munroe as secre-
tary.
In addition to the election of Off
tho nin0tcrc ,r;n Iox
er important business to dispose of.
Immediate steps will have to be ta-
ken to provide for the increasingly
overcrowded conditions in our
schools.
twenty-five teachers besides the
principal will be required to take
care OF the work during the coming
year, and the most of these Will
have overcrOwded rooms, After plan
ming to use all of our available space-
easements included-there are three
grades still unprovided for. And this
arrangement includes the old two
room building which unless the sur
roundings are changed and a prop
er heating and ventilating system
talled-will be condemned and
cannot be used at all.
1t would seem imperative that
funds be provided at the earliest
possible time with which to provide
the needed room.
S14,0OO.OO is the tax levy asked for
In the present school budget. and
this simply provides for the usual
expenses of the school year. The
school account at the present time
is overdrawn to the amount of $3.50.
There are bills receivable sufficient
to cover this and the probable run
ming expenses to the beginning of
the school year when it will be nee
essary to make a loan to take care
of the school expenses until the tax
eS are received. In view of the fore
going facts it would seem that the
maximum tuition rate ought to be
charged. Even then it will cost some
five or six dollars more per capita
than we will receive.

few ACCIDENTS THE FOURTH
Bruce Lad Loses Fingers BY ExpIo-
SIGN of Dynamite Cap on Sat
urday

There were no fatal accidents III
this county the Fourth and only a
few accidents in which any injury
was sustained. There were no acct
dents of any Importance in this city
during the three-day celebration.
The explosion of a dynamite cap
held in his left hand, cost Irving
Ewald, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Ewald, of Bruce, the loss of the first
and second fingers, Saturday after
noon, the accident occurring while
he was out in the country. The in
jury to the hand may necessitate it's
amputation to save the Boys life.
A portion of the cap entered the
boys abdomen, but came out again,
making a flesh wound that is not
expected to prove serious. If it had
gone a little deeper it would no doubt
have been fatal
A somewhat similar accident oc-
Cured at Sheldon on the Fourth
Miss Iona Hooverman was holding
small fire cracker in her right
hand, when it exploded, blowing off
the middle finger and seriously in
juring the finger on each side of it.
The hand was also otherwise lacer-
ated Miss Hooverman, accompanied
by her sister Miss Hulda, came to
Ladysmith Saturday and remained
here until Tuesday, under the care
of DR., O'Connor. The injured hard
is healing rapidly.

August Simon won the hose coup
| ling contest, defeating Mike Schmidt.
The Christie-Fras bout, scheduled
to be pulled off" at one O'Clock on
the afternoon Of the Fourth, was
postponed until evening, being final
ly staged at the opera house very
late. There was too much else to
amuse the crowd, and the patronage
of the bout was very small. Those
who witnessed the match are unan-
imOus in prOnouncing it one of the
best ever pulled off in this city. No
decision was rendered of course, but
the main bout was so evenly fought
that it would be difficult to call it
Christie with shade the better of
the argument. Two fast preliminaries
of eight rounds each preceded the
main event.
The parade was given on the af-
ternoon of the Fourth. 1t was not
as good as in previous celebrations
due largely to the fact that many
were unwilling to take the trouble
to fix up a float with the weather
SO threatening. There We're some
good floats and quite a number of au-
tOs, but the latter were not nearly
as numerous as had been expected.
The dances at the various halls
were quite we'll patronized. The fire
works display Friday evening was
witnessed by hundreds of people con-
gregated along the bank of the Flam-
beau where the aquatic sports were
held earlier in the evening.
The water fight was one of the
best features of the last day, Sat
urday. This event was won by John
Carter and Clyde Hebbard, who de-
featcd Ralph Drum and Phil Leveille,
but only after hard and stubborn
fight of unusual length of duration.
There was all kinds of pressure on
and both teams had to brace them
selves with all the strength they pos
sessed to stand their ground.

NEW NORTH WISCON-
SIN RAILROAD SYSTEM

The new railroad from Marinette
to Merrill, via Amigo is not to con.
tinue from Merrill northwest to
Prentice and then southwest to the
rill northwest to the Twin Ports,
with Superior as the terminal point
according to those close to the pro-
moters Of the proposition.
The road is being planned largely
| by North Wisconsin men, one of the
leading spirits being John O'Dea of
Merrill whose intimate knowledge of
conditions in upper Wisconsin prob
Iably is not equalled by any other
Imam. That Mr.. O'Dea would not be
| SO blind to the possibilities of the
Slew road as to parallel the old 500
line from the vicinity of Prentice to
Minneapolis is pointed out by those
acquainted with his good business
Judgment, his accurate knowledge OF
North Wisconsin and keen apprecia-
citation of the coming Importance of
this section of the state.
With Mr.. O'Dea at the head of the
new road movement there apparently
is but one route that appeals to him
and that is to head the railroad for
Superior and the Twin Ports. The
head of the lakes will without a
doubt soon become the commercial
and manufacturing center of this
whole territory and this fact, togeth
er with the water power, farming and
numbering country and summer resort
sections which the new road would
tap, means constantly increasing traf-
fic would be assured.
Those familiar with the plans of
the hackers of the new road declare
that the route to Superior already
has been outlined in a general way.
They claim that it will run from
Merrill northwest near the river to
the mouth of New Wood river; then
up that fertile valley nearly to the
head of it; then over across the
Spirit river valley quite close to
Spirit lake thus creating easy ac-
cess to one Of the finest opportun-
tiles for an unexcelled summer resort;
thence on to Ogema, a live town
surrounded by a finely developed
Swedish settlement. From there it
will continue on it's course through
virgin forest practically all the way
to Hawkins, passing near Upham's
mill, crossing Jump river at or near
Reichert's Falls where there is a
water power of high value and an
unlimited supply of high grade gran
ite. AT Hawkins the new road will
find a live town with large sawmill
and box and furniture factory. with
an average export Of three to six
carloads per day
From Hawkins it will continue on
it's northwesterly course through the
often spoken of natural rail bed"
extending from Hawkins to Flanl-
beau river, crossing the river near
the mouth of Skinner creek. From
there on to Superior it will pick
it's route through that large blank
on the map of Wisconsin so as to
penetrate the best timber belts and
touch several of the larger lakes in
Sawyer, Bayfield, and Douglas coun-
ties, hence will eventually become
one of the most popular routes in this
state,-Superior Telegram.

A FINE GAME

The baseball game between Lady.
smith and Bruce at the latter
place Sunday was practically a pit
chers' battle" Culver pitched for
Ladysmith and had much the best
of it, but poor base running robbed
Ladysmith of number of runs. How
ever, Bruce was shut out and the
two runs made by the locals were
as big as a mountain.
A large number of Ladysmith peo-
pie attended the game, most of them
going in automobiles.

A FATAL BLUNDER.

One fatal mistake the Democratic
party has made and that will come
home to them some day, and that
day is not far off, is their promise to
reduce the high cost of living. o ur
Democratic friends, no mater how
honest and sincere they may be, do
not seem to have yet found out that
there is no connection between Il
tariff schedule and the retail price
to the consumer. They do not seem
to grasp the idea, or the u%ndisputcd
fact, that the high cost Of living Is
a worldwide condition. That the
cost of the necessities Of life have
advanced in England and Germany
with free trade in the same ratio
they have advanced in America.
That being the case, it would seem
that the Democratic leaders would
get themselves right on this qucs-
ton before the people for the people
sooner or later r going to see that
these things are true. That n con-
dition will be sufficient reason for u
political revolution in 1916. The
people have.h had the promise that the
cost of living would be brought
down wf1en the Democratic party
again had q chance to modify the
tariff to suit their ideas. They have
had this chance and their expert
ment will not change the cost Of liv-
That some plan should be adopt
cd to bring down the high cost of
living Is an admitted fact. If the
Democratic party had discovered
that plan and put it into execution
they would be entitled to, and would
have been given, a long lease of pow
or. Nothing could have changed
the people in their determination to
uphold the -. Democratic program If
they could do this, but they have
failed when they rely on a reduction
in the tariff to do it.
There is such a wide and unex-
plainable difference between the
cost Of raw material, as well as the
cost of the manufactured article at
the factory and the price paid by
the consumer that we must all admit
there is something radically wrong
but the tariff is not the
cause. 1t must ,bs in the selling ar

the great Tammany boss, III opposi-

knives up theft sleeves for William

off its feet and nominated Wilson
in spite'of their powerful opposition.
At the present we find these gentle
men ready to kneel at the, feet of
Bryan and Wilson If it will get them
votes for their congressional candi-

to have Champ Clark come into the

A LAUGHL1N BUBBLE.

George A. Laughlin in a recent
bulletin published a letter or inter-
view from Mr.. |. V. Barton, State
Labor Commissioner, In which Mr..
Barton said some complimentary
things about MIR. Laughlin's record
in the legislature in 1901. If you
will read that statement you will see
that Mr.. Barton did not state he was
for MIR. Laughlin for congress, al
though 1t was intended that this i'm
preston would be given by the pub
LEGATION of reference to him.
The fact OF the matter is Mr.. Bar
ton stated while he was in Fairmont
yesterday that he was going to re-
turn home to Wheeling on the 14th
and vote for Mr.. Hearne. Thus we
see another Laughlin bubble burst.
