Court Notes.

Among the attorneys in attendance
at court from out Of town are Rolleff
Waller, G. r. J. Goebel and Olin c..
Myron of Milaca; and w. S. Foster,
Minneapolis.
The following aliens appeared in
court on Tuesday afternoon and were
naturalized: Lambertine Otter, John
Jongejeugd, Milo; Gustav Lunds

l.. Skoger, Greenbush. s.
In the appointment Of Judge
Parsons to the bench of the Seventh
judicial district no mistake was
made. Although this is the first
term Of court over which he has pre-
sided in Princeton, it is not difficult
to determine that he is an able
|jurist-that he is thoroughly con-
rersant with the statutes and with

Geo. Chalmers House Burns.

Last Thursday night at II 80
O'Clock the fire department. was
called by phone to the home Of
George Chalmers on the north side.
There the laddies found that the
kitchen floor was on fire, and it did
not take long to extinguish the
blaze. After the fremen returned
to their homes the fire broke out
again and the house burned to the
ground. r. Only a few articles of
funiture were saved. The origin Of
the fire is unknown. Mr.. Chalmers
carried an insurance of $500 on the
house and $500 on the furniture.

E. Lee. Lee received 5555, Iverson
1877, Peterson 1856: and Elwell IL.
Much enthusiasm was displayed.
Mr.. Peterson will stump the state for
Mr.. Lee, and Mr.. Iverson has
pledged himself to do all in his
power to further the cause of the
gentleman from Todd. 1t makes
precious little difference what Mr..
Elwell does.
The contest for the republican
gubernatorial nomination is now
narrowed down to Governor Eber-
hart and Mr.. Lee, and it will be a
pretty fight with the odds slightly
in favor of the latter.
The resolutions adopted by the
conference were severely denuncia-
tory of Governor Eberhart, too much
so we are inclined to believe. The
governor, although he stood perfect
plus in college, is human like the
rest of us and is liable to make mis-.
takes occasionally, but he is not such
a despicable character nor is the
state in such desperate straits as a
perusal of the resolutions would lead
one to believe. Let it be a fair,
square fight between Mr.. Eberhart
and Mr.. Lee, and the republican
voters will decide on the 10th day OF
June which they prefer to lead them
to victory on the 3rd day Of next
November. =a~ =

The Vaccination of PUPILS.

One day last week evidences of
smallpox in light form were OBJ
served by DR.. Galley, member of the
local board of health, and he COM
municated the fact to the state
board of health. AS a result he re-
ceived an imperative order that all
children attending school must
either be vaccinated or suspended
for at least three weeks. The order
was given to the school board, who
notified the superintendent and it
was announced in every room at
the educational institutions. To

this order there has been a general
acquiescence and most Of the pupils
and all of the teachers have now
been vaccinated. Many people, in.
Guiding number Of physicians, do
not believe in the efficacy Of vaccina-
tion, hence there are a few instances
where the parents refused to have
their children subjected to the vac

understand that this order from the

of Her Sister, Mrs. A.. =. Nor
ton, Yesterday Morning.
rlrs. nary Thorson, Mrs. August Oeb-
ert and N. J. Tompkins Also
Called to Their Reward.

Mrs. May G. Libby. died at the
home of her sister, Mr.. A. 2. Nor
ton, at 9:l5 yesterday morning, death
being caused by complication of
diseases.
May c. Libby was born in Phillips,
Maine, on October 8, 1887 She was
married in Lowell, Mass, to Charles
0. Packard. Shortly after they
moved to Chicago, where they resided
for fourteen years. In 1873 they
moved to Minnesota and settled on a
farm in Wyanett, living there for
twelve years. Mr. Packard died in
1882. In 1885 Mrs. Packard was
married to Frank Libby of Prince
ton and removed to this place for a
time. For two years they lived on
a claim at Mile Laos lake.
rs Deceased is survived by an adopted
daughter, Mrs. Fred Libby of Green
bush.
Mrs. Libby had been a member Of
the NJ. e. church since she was l6
years of age, teacher in the Sunday
school and an active, interested
worker in all it's departments. She
had been great sufferer for the last
year, having received a fall from
which she never fully recovered, and
as she grew weaker was more than
resigned and anxious to 60. She
had lived an exceedingly useful life
especially was she helpful to many
in cases of illness or distress in those
early pioneer days in Wyanett, when
despite the fact that she had lived
in the city, she stood shoulder to
shoulder with those who were bat
tling for homes in that new country.
Truly it may be said of this brave
soul, 'She hath done what she
could"
"Gentlest of spirits! not for thee
Our tears are shed, our sighs are given:
Why mourn to know thou art a free
Partaker OF the joys of heaven? =

In christian frmness unto death;
And beautiful as sky and earth,
When autumns sun is downward going.

Medford Fire which started from
an unknown cause destroyed the big
sawmil of the Rib Lake Lumber COM

$150,000, is partly covered by insur'
ance.
The fire fighters had hard time In
saving the planning mill nearby The
fire is thought to have started In the
boiler room. In a moment the entire
building was In flames and could not
be saved. The plant will most likely
be rebuilt.
The mill was one of the largest In
the state. Two hundred men narrow.
ly escaped with their lives, so quickly
did the fire spread
All OF the employees were taken from
the structure and efforts were made to
prevent the flames spreading to the
neighboring buildings. The planning
mill was saved, but large piles Of lum-
ar and timber stock were destroyed.
and for time it was feared the rising
wind would carry the flames into the

METH0D|STS Will
DECIDE ON MERGER
COMING WISCONSIN CONFERENCE
TO CONSIDER A UNION WITH
WESTERN ORGANIZATION
MEETING SET FOR SEPT 9
Plans Practically Completed for An
nual Conference, Over Which
Bishop Quale Will Preside
--225 Clergy to Attend.

Fond du Lac.--The feature OF the
annual meeting OF the Wisconsin
Methodist Episcopal conference in
Fond du Lac, Sept, 8, will be the ques.
ton of merger with the west Wis.,
consin conference, making one con.
ference for the whole state.
This fact became apparent and the
reports from various sections of the
state were assembled In the prepare
ton of the program. The west Wis
consin conference will hold its annual
meeting at Platteville on Aug. rs. two
weeks before the meeting of the Wis
consin conference in this city. That
the west Wisconsin conference will
vote for the merger seems assured,
but it was not until recently that SEN
timent began to crystalline in this con-
ference in favor of the proposed plan.
There Is a feeling it will go through
and the action of the two conferences
will be submitted to the general con-
ference for approval at the quadrien-
NAL meeting in 1916.
Plans have been practically complet-
ed for the conference over which
Bishop William A. Quayle of st. Paul
will preside in the new Division Street
church. 1t is expected the conference
will be attended by 225 clergy and by
some 200 lay delegates.

Gothams New City Hall (32 Stories).
story Singer building, with a height OF
6l2 feet above the pavement. Adjoin-
ing this edifice is the City Investment
building, 80 stories high, its roof some
$50 feet above the curb Then We
have the Park Row building, the
height from the road to the top Of its
Flagstaff being no less than 447 feet.
and the Times building, which rears
its head 800 feet into the air, while
the famous Flat Iron structure, with
It's 20 stories, attains to some 800 feet.
Two factors have made these edifices
practicable-the passenger elevator or
lift and the steel-cage system OF con-
struction, which enables the architect
to design his building to any height
desired.
Naturally. before anything can be
done the foundations have to be Sc
cured, On account of the great weight
of these skyscrapers-the Woolworth
edihce has total weight of 100000
tons-the foundations have to be very
strong. The majority OF skyscrapers
rest on concrete piers sunk down into
the earth until they reach solid rock.
The Woolworth building, for instance,
rests on 66 of these piers, reaching
down to a depth OF l20 feet below the
level OF the street These piers are
really immense steel cylinders known
as cassons. Into these concrete Is
poured. and as 1t solidifles 1t Is
squeezed together under enormous
pressure eXerted from above by COM
pressed air Thus the foundations OF
the skyscrapers are as firm and as
solid as the rock on which their piers
rest. Sometimes, II the soil below the
surface is at all loose" the engineers
make a great bed of concrete, which
forms the rock" and then sink their
caissons into it.
AS soon as the foundations are
ready the erection of steel cage be-
gins. The bottom portion, or feet OF
the columns, are anchored into the
piers OF concrete, this being done to
enable the building to resist wind pres
sure. When once the columns are
firmly secured construction goes
ahead very rapidly. Great iib cranes
are erected at the very top and used
TO lit the steelwork members into
place. AS fast as these last reach their
respective homes they are seized by
the sky workers, as these aerial toll
ers are called. who bolt and rivet them
into position.
AS the steel cage rises higher and
higher the sky workers have to tread
more circumspectly and attend more
closely to what they are doing, for
upon each one of them may depend
the lives OF several of his fellows. The
utmost care with regard to the fall OF
tools, rivets, etc, must be taken, for
even small object will acquire q
terrific momentum during a drop OF
some hundreds OF feet, A drift pin
weighing three pounds rolled of a
plank on the highest story of the Met.
ropolitan building. Ii struck q fange
on the thirty-ninth story, rebounded
into the air and fell on the roof OF a

force as to pass clean through 1t.
