Should a prisoner escape while do
ing such work, he faces a term in
the states prison. 1t is not likely
that any viii try to escape as they
are almseP sure to be captured and
it would not be a good policy on
the part of a prisoner serving ten
days or six months in the county
Jail to escape, be captured and then
be sentenced to Waupun for year
or more. This new law is to be
commended, it provides work for the
prisoner, which any one must admit
is better than being confined inside
the Jail with nothing to do, it also
Furnishes the prisoner by making him
work, and it makes the prisoner
earn his board and meals while con
fined, thus saving the county that
expense. And in the case of a
married man, it provides money for
the wife and family and prevents
them from becoming county charges.
This bill was passed at the last
legislature and was recommended by
District Attorneys Robert Nelson OF
Dane county and Charles E. Briere
Of Wood county, who has been ap-
pointed a committee by the District
Attorneys of the state to appear be
fore the leGiSlaturQ in the interests
of the law.

BAk()UE

The first Moravian C. E. society
on the first Sunday in August start.
ed an efficiency campaign among
themselves to keep up the enthusiast
which had been aroused before and
at the Wausau convention. This so
ciety was divided into two parts
Walter Herschleb being chosen. leade
of the whites and Walter Weisenberg
leader of the reds. T he sides were
to be tested in church attendance
participation in the Sunday c. E.
meetings. The penalty for loo5ing
was a banquet to the winning side.
The interest Of the members was
aroused, each member being deter
mined that his side should be the wi
ner. For the first three Sundays
then relying on the previously won
honors they decided to take a little
nap. While the Reds were peace
fully sleeping the Whites were bus
lily working. On the fourth and
fifth Sunday the latter side succeed
ed in leaving the former far in the
back ground. About this time the
Reds awoke but found it was too late
to regain the laurels The points
were 451 to 425, in favor of the
Whites.
Walter Weisenberg, the leader of
the reds was not able tobe present
so the place was capably filled by
Miss Rose MetzgeT. The contest
was terminated Friday evening by a
banquet in the church FarIors-
The room was prettiIy decorated
in Red and White. The table which
was placed in the center of the room
groaned beneath the good things which
were placed upon it. Covers were
laid for forty After the banquet
with Miss Rose Metzger as toast
mistress, Walter Herschleb. Ethel J.
Anderson, and Rev. C. A MeiIicke,
responded very heartily. Cheers were
also given by both sides.
The remainder of the evening was
pleasantly spent in playing games.
Every one voted this another evening
added to the best of good times of
this society.
The yell The Red, The Red,
The White, The White, better to
lose than fight the White"
The banquet also served as a fare
well on Miss HiIdegard Dahlke who
is to leave Sunday for FL Paso, Texas
and Walter $erschleb, who will leave
next week to attend the La Crosse
Business College.

under her own observation and show
ed concIusiveIy that there is one
law for the rich and another for
the poor. She made a strong plea
for woman's suffrage and said that
every one should enter into poll
tics so as to obtain full life and
justice for themselves and every
body.
Economically we should express
ourselves thru the government to OBJ
tain the equality Of opportunity II
lustrated by showing the advant-
ages that fall to a child born of
rich parents over those of children
born from poor parents.
She concluded by saying that in
order to adjust the disputes arising
between religious people and social
lists, she offered the following chaI-
Ienge: That she would provide a
hall and an audience and give $100
an hour to anyone who woul defend
the negative of the following prop
Osition: "A Socialist may be a
Christian, but a Christian must be
a Socialist"

Credit must be given to the Ne
koosa team for sticking to the fin
ish.
When next seasons league is or
ganized, the team should be required
to post forfeit, and salary limit
should be agreed upon. Naturally
the fans in each of the cities wish
es to see its team win and there
are always some keen enough about
the winning to dig down in their jeens
for the dough to get good players.
This very thing was no doubt the caus
of Stevens Point having to quit before
the season closed. Put fair sal
ary limit on the teams and the re
suits will be closer contested matches
keener interests and better satisfac-
tion all around.

new TRACT IN.
DEX BOOKS HERE

The new tract indexes for the
office OF the Register of Deeds
have arrived and work on indeXing
the records will be commenced very
soon. There are four volumns. for
town lands, two volumns for the city
of Grand Rapids, one volumn for
the city. OF Marshfield and one vol
nmn for other plated lands The
indexes are handsomely bound loose
leaf books, and are so arranged that
a person looking up a title to any
lands can easily find every entry
made against the property. P J.
krause, Marshfield; William Hooper,
Nskoosa; and F. L. Rourke, of this
city, the committee appointed by
the county board to install this in
aexing system and look after it,
were in session Wednesday. 1t is
estimated that it will take from
two to three years to complete the
ipdeIing of the records as they go
back to the organization of the coun
~. which was in the year 1858. The
old record books are in such de
lapidated condition that they are
next to useless. 1t means a lot OF
work to index all the records from
the time the county was set off, but
ii will be work that will be appre
ciated by not only those whohave
occasion to look up records now
but to those who will use them in
years TO come.

The lecture at the Baptist church
by Mrs. Kate Richards o'Hare was
on the subject THE Trinity of
Life instead of The Relation of
Business to Morals Practically all

Mrs O'Hare said, THAT in order
to enjoy life fully and abundantly
one must express themselves, re-
hgiously, politically and economically
The principle underlying adj relig-

the brotherhood of man. The private
ownership Of land prevents the bro

The Wisest man is he who does
not try to restrain mems action.
Make no protestations, but make re

As a theft catches theft, so the

Of faults,
1t is much more shallower and
