MISUNDERSTANDING for radical
changes in the organization of the
Wisconsin Teachers association will
come up for consideration at the next
annual convention in Milwaukee, ac-
cOrding to an announcement made fol-
lowing a dinner in the Blatz hotel Of
the Milwaukee Schoolmasters' club.
The matter Of holding conventions BIZ
annually instead of each year will
have to be thrashed out by the dele

assist in supporting the smaller
bodies. Sentiment was against these
changes.
B. E. Nelson, Racine president Of
the Wisconsin association, and C. E.

discussion. Other speakers were A.

Veteran Pastors PRAYER.

Father in Heaven, take the twists
out of us; the snarls; the unsuspect-
ed crookedness; the moral ugliness
that carves bad lines in our faces when
we least suspect it. Make us
gentle, considerate, full of compassion
ate longing instead of fierce condem-
nation. Make US swift to help, with
out if or but. Show US the real val
ues under the surface of even disor
derby lives, and make US glad these
values are there. Keep US from de-
spising people-even the debased, or
neighbors who tread on our toes. Root
out of us the subconscious feeling
that we are necessarily the good peo-
pie, and that all who differ from, us
are faulty. Lead us out into the joy
Gus, appreciative, easy, helpful ways
which shone in Jesus life.

Says Decision of State Supreme

MilWaukee.-GovF Francis E. McGov-

contest for the office beyond the state
Supreme court, which has directed
that certificate of election be given

Attorney A. c. Umbreit, who repre-
scented Gov. McGovern before the SUI

emily promptness instead of accuracy
is to decide the election, it would be
useless to carry the contest before the
United States senate, as the decision
of the court puts an end to the recount
and makes the securing of any further
proof of inaccuracy impossible.

thanks to a generous Santa Claus in
the guise of Uncle Sidney / must be-
gin by thanking you on my own ac-
count How IN the world did you learn
that Roman colors had come in again?
have always heard that men did not
follow the styles and could not be
trusted to select anything for q WON
an, but it is a libel, base libel, for
the scarf which you sent is quite the
most beautiful thing l have received
this Christmas. l have it draped over
the large picture in the parlor, and it
is the envy of every one who has been
in today. A thousand, thousand thanks,
dear Sidney. 1t was perfectly sweet
of you to remember me, and l call it
nothing less than stroke of genius to
think of anything so appropriate and
yet 80 much out Of the ordinary.
John asks me to thank you-but I
must tell you the story. One evening
last week we had little chatting dish
party after prayer meeting, and l
asked John to open a bottle of olives

CATTLE DISEASE EXPENSIVE
State Veterinarian Estimates Expense
in Recent Scourge at
$4,000.

Madison-With twenty-one herds
in Wisconsin wiped out by the foot
and mouth disease, the epizootlc is
now under control, according to State
Veterinarian o. H Eliason. All affect
ed herds have been killed, with the
exception of one near Delavan, just
discovered In this herd there are
twenty-five cattle and they will be
killed Immediately. Only three cases
have been brought to the attention of
the authorities in the last seven days
and Dr. Eliason believes the, snow and
cold weather will tend to check the
disease The twenty-one herds in Wis
consin contained from a dozen to sixty
head each, and DR.. Eliason estimates
the value of the animals slaughtered
at $4,000
The disease existed in these coun-
ties: Dane, Brown, Langlade, Lincoln,
Rock Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha,
Walworth, Jefferson and Green.

He was bound by family custom to
buy Christmas presents for his rela-

he would remember every one in the

entirely useless, inappropriate and
superfiuous? 1t would serve them right
for involving him in the childish per-
formances of the Christmas season. Il
would be a burlesQue on the whole
nonsensicality of Christmas giving. 1t

and probably deepen their hatred of

MISUNDERSTANDING D. Cantillon,
56 years old, for many years connect

railroad, died in Chicago. He was sta
toned in Milwaukee from 1892 to 1898,
as trainmaster and later as assistant
superintendent He was a member of
the fire and police commission. Mr.
Cant1llon's name was familiar over the
entire Northwestern system. He be-
gan his career in GAINESVILLE as wa
ter boy for his father, who was a
stone mason for the Chicago and
northwestern, and worked his way up
to brakeman, freight and passenger
conductor, trainmaster and assistant
superintendent and was general man

at chicago, until he retired year ago

was the direct cause. He was born in
GAINESVILLE, Wis, on Aug. 1, 1858, and
lived there until he was stationed at
Milwaukee. He left Milwaukee in 1899
to become superintendent of the Wi
mona and st. Peter division, with head
quarters at Winona A short time later
he was transferred to Chicago and
made assistant general superinten-
dent, then general superintendent and
then assistant general manager, and
finally general manager.
During his entire railroad career Mr..
Cantillon was known for the regard
employees under him showed. He was
liked by all and his rules were seldom
dlSODeyed.
Mr.. Cantillon narrowly missed cast
ing his lot with his brothers, Michael
and Joseph, and becoming a profess
sional ball player. Just before getting
his first railroad job he went to Oma-
ha and for year pitched with fast
semi-professional team. At the end of
the year, it is said, he was offered con-
tracts by several clubs His interest
in railroading was too deep, however,
and he returned to Chicago and at IS
got his first job as brakeman. A
crew of roughs had made travel on
one Chicago suburban train unpleas-
ant if not dangerous. Several conduc-
tors had been injured, when young
Cantillon was offered the run. He sub
dued the rowdies and soon after was
given a permanent place in the pas
senger service.
The funeral was held at GAINESVILLE,
and interment at Mount Olivet GENE
