election of officers of the company
takes place in August.
Max Schleif, II years old, while en-
gagged in assisting his father in log
ging and while loading sleighload of
logs at Merrill on Friday, was acci-
dentally killed. A log came back
from the skidS and crushed the young
man. Death followed very shortly.
He was a son of Herman Schleif, a
prominent farmer of Lincoln county.
The 500 railroad company is be-
coming progressive factor in this
state and now it proposes to spend
$25, 100000 this year in building new
railroads, a line possible to tap the
Wisconsin river valley. Would it not
be we'll for cities in this valley to get
a hustle on themselves and invite
cooperation with the powers that be
of that enterprising company?

On Friday night the home of r. S.
Disbrow, on the northeast town line
road, was totally destroyed by fire.
Two departments of the fire brigade
responded, but were unable to sub
due the flames, owing to the distance
from water hydrant and laxity of
water pressure. A number of articles
of furniture were saved by the owner
and neighbors. Mr.. Disbrow was on
his way home when he discovered the
fire and sent in the alarm. The loss
, is covered by insurance.
Easter comes this year at an earlier
date than had been the case for 1873
years. A broad statement, but cor
rect, nevertheless, despite the fact
| that there are no persons living who
can remember and thus speak with
authority. Easter Sunday is always
| the first Sabbath after the full moon,
which happens upon or after the 2lst
of March, so that March % is the
earliest date that Easter can come.
1t comes this year on the 23rd, the
earliest since ITS. Thus Lent, which
began last Wednesday, began on an
earlier date than it has for the same
| period of time, 13S years.

SLOT MACHINES.

Mayor Ringle has settled the slot
machine question for the time being,
at least, by issuing the following:
without pretending at this time
to decide the question whether or not
the so-called ''slot" or vending ma
chine based upon an element Of
chance, is a gambling device under
our present law, We may we'll admit
that it is regarded as nuisance by
many people and not considered a
creditable business implement. Yet
such machines are tolerated by. nearly
all the cities Of this state and will be
tolerated until further order in this
city, under police supervision, pro-
vided proprietors do not permit
minors or children under age to oper-
ate such machines.
This restriction does not apply I'd
purely vending machines.
