EVERYBODY Had a Fine Time
at Picnic
Old Time Dance in the Even
ing Capped the Climax
of the Day.

The annual picnic of the Pio-
neer Association which was held
at Washington Park on the bay
shore last Thursday afternoon
was an event that will long be
remembered by the people of this
city.
Wednesday evening the wealth
er was threatening but during
the early morning hours the day
turned off bright and clear and
there was regular picnic wealth
er during the entire day.
Most of the business houses of
the city and some Of the manu-
featuring institutions closed their
places at the noon hour in order
that all might enjoy the picnic.
The picnic dinner was served
during the noon hour, all bring
ing their baskets of lunch, while
tables were furnished by the
association. Following the. din
ner there was a program of
speaking and music. After a
short musical program by the
Washburn City Band a number
of old settlers and the younger
ones" were called on for a few
remarks. The following respond
ed: J. j. Miles Of Ashland, A.
M. Warden, Mayor Bryan, John
Walsh and S. A. Oscar.
The afternoon was spent in
visiting under the pines at the
grove and many families re-
manned and had their supper at
the grounds.
In the evening a grand dance
was held at the Opera House and
the way some of the old settlers
''hoed it down. was a caution.
The dance was largely attended
and all had a most enjoyable
time.

Progressives are Busy

Twelve counties will be campaigned
by automobile this week by Andrew
H. Dahl, the progressive republican
candidate for governor. The coun.
ties are Rusk, Chippewa, Clark, Tay-
lor, Price, Oneida, Lincoln, Marathon
Portage, Waushara, Winnebago, and
Outagamie. This will be the most
remarkable feat of campaigning ever
accomplished in Wise onsin.
And the reports from the counties
Mr.. Dahl has already visited indicate
that the vote making ability of the
candidate of the progressive republi-
cans is equal to his ability to get over
the territory.
Meanwhile, Edward F. Dithmar,
the progressive republican candidate
for lieutenant governor has invaded
Milwaukee and is looking after the
of the progressives in the
eastern section OF the state. Attor-
Walter C.. Owen is also
campaigning this week for the pro-
gressives in the eastern part of the
state.

The Times presses have been
busy the past few days grinding
out the official ballots to be used
at the primaries on Septem ber
1st- The ballots are the same
as were used two years ago.
Voters will have the opportunity
to express their first and second
choice for candidates on the
various tickets.
At the primaries a voter can
not switch from one party to
the other in order to vote for
the men of his choice but must
stick by the party ticket. There
is no opposition on the Prohibi.
tion and Social Democratic
tickets. On the Democratic
State ticket there is a lively
scrap and the Republican ticket
also contains the names of many
candidates.

council today that has been held
in recent years. Chippewas

by poat from Bay field, the
islands, from the farms and from

the right to vote in the selection
of committee of 5 to assist the
Secretary of the Interior in
preparing a roll Of those who
are entitled to slice Of the big
melon about SI,500,000 which is

heard we're delivered at today IS

A big council of the Bad River
Chippewas was held at Odanah
today to select com mittee Of
five to act in conjunction with
Government Agent w. M. Woos-
ter. in preparing an enrolment
| of unallotted Indians of the

less than 8 factions aspiring to
control the election of this com.
mittee of five. One faction is
composedADf full blood Indians,
who desire the mittee made
up Of full bloods. another faction
represents the mixed bloods,
which desires the committee

and educated Indians, who will
need no interpreters. Repres-
entatives of one faction held a
meeting in the timber some dis.
tance from the village few days
ago to agree upon a slate. The
third faction is sort of a COM
promise between the other two
advocating a committee of Is,
with 5 from each faction. Fri

in the legs where he was bitten
by the mad dog. This dog did
not show any signs of becoming
vicious previous to his death.
On account of the death OF
these two animals the authorities
will enforce the muzzling order
more rigidly than ever before.
Dogs found running at large
without a muzzle will be shot.
Some of the dog owners of the
city have become somewhat care
less in letting their animals run
about without a muzzle and if
the dogs are shot they will have
no one to blame but themselves.

Had Symptoms That Were
Suspicious
Both We're Bitten by the Dog
That Went Mad in This
City.

Quite a little excitement was
caused in the city the latter part
of last week by a second mad
dog" scare. Two animals which
had been bitten by the dog that
went mad in this city this spring
developed symptoms that were
suspicious and died. One of the
animals was owned by William
Johnston, residing on west Bay
field street and the other by Gus
Lien.
The Johnston dog was the first
to die. For several days previous
to his death he was acting in a
peculiar manner. He refused
food and water and began froth-
ing at the mouth. The dog did
not attempt to bite anyone. He
died in spasms. The Lien dog
also developed peculiar symptoms
and seemed to become paralysed

Our Own Candidate

In the present political cam
paign in Wisconsin a Washburn
man is a candidate for the office
of Lieutenant Governor on the
Repu blican ticket. That can,
didate is Hubert Fl. Peavey,
former mayor of this city and
the present assemblyman from
Bay field county.
The political ideas of the writer
and those Of Mr.. Peavey have
alwa, S been rather widely apart
and in the present campaign we
are rather lined up with "tl g
other fellows" so far as the
result in the state is concerne d.
But we believe that the people
of Mr.. Peavey's home city should
give him their endorsement IN
the present campaign if for nc
other reason than he is a home
man. It is always rather encour-
aging to a candidate to see the
people of his home city stick by
him and we believe that Mr.,
Peavey is entitled to the endorse,
ment by the people of Washburn,

Madison, Wis, Aug. A
thorough canvas of the state,
including every county, has
been made by Senator George
E. Scott, chairman of the repub b.
lican state central committee. in
the interests of the candidacy
Of Lieutenant Governor Thomas
Morris for United States Sen
ator. The returns of this
canvas are in for about two-thirds
of the state and indicate, accord
ing to Senator Scott, Mr.. Morris
nomination by large vote.
''Phe lines are so clearly
drawn in the senatorial cam
paign" said Senator Scott today,
"that there is little or no con-
fusion among the voters as to
whom they wish to support,
and the progressive republicans
are practically unanimous in
supporting the only progressive
republican candidate, Tom
Morris.
cit is of the utmost impor.
tance, however, for the strength
ening of the progressive cause
in this state foi the future, that
the progressive republican vic.
tory be by as large a majority
as we can roll up. The auto.
mobile tour of tie lieutenant
governor will continue until
Septem Der 1st."
The Morris trip this week
extended through Juneau, Sauk
Iowa and southern counties.

Cattle Show

A large number of people from
Ashland and Bayfield, counties
attended the third annual cattle
show of the Moquah Cooperative
organization at Moquah last Sat-
urday. The people of the
Moquah settlement, who are
Slavs, were dressed in their
native costumes which made the
affair of picturesque nature.
The Cattle show was a big
part of the program. The peo-
pie of this section have certainly
made a wonderful showing in
the raising of Guernsey cattle
and the town of Moquah is des-
tined to become the leading
Guernsey section of the northern
part of the state.
Speakers prominent in agri-
culture and dairying were pres
ent at the meeting and delivered
