we live and care for the body; a good

has acquired considerable production
i'm the Bird Greek and Cushing fields
which with this new production at
Hcaldton gives the company some
thing like 10000 barrels per day. For

ATTENDANCE REDUCED;
QUALITY UNDIMINISHED
District Number 10, PlstteviIle, Holds
Several Records for Ex-
celIent Work

While out visiting schools last
week. Mr.. Brick called on Dist. No.
1O, Platteville, the school that few
years ago held all kinds of records,
for attendance. 1t is said that for
three years No. 10 held the record for,
perfect attendance, and that at the
time it had quite large enrollment..
Now it has only nine pupils in at
tendance, although it is keeping up.
its record for excellence in some Of
the various departments. Mis-.
Margaret Howard is the teacher in
charge, and under her direction the
girls took some first prizes in domestic
work at the Wisconsin, state fair last
fall. So while the school is apparent
ly dwindling in numbers to a point at
which it may not compete in
punctuality records, it still maintains.
other records for excellent school
work Surely, in rural schools, as.
in other fields of human endeavor.
the race is not always to the swift
nor the battle to the strong. In
other words bigness is only one
quality.

IN ONE SCHOOL, FIVE PU-
Pills PASS TO H. S. GRADE.
About 80 in Rural Schools for the
County Get BY A Fine
School House.

While on his rounds of visiting
country schools, County Superintendent
of Schools E. C. Brick called on
Dist. No. 5. Bloomington, and was
very much pleased to find it. in such
good shape. The building is quite
new, of brick, and of the most
modern of design, taking light from
only two sides. This is one of the
schools recommended by Mr. Brick
for special state aid.
Miss Mary Hall is the teacher in
this school, and she has an enroll
ment of 26 pupils. OF these 20,
five passed at the recent diploma
examinations. That is fine .condi
ton, because out of all the rural
schools in the county only about 30
pupils passed, at this examination.
Miss Hall is accounted one of the
really fine teachers in the rural
schools of Grant county.

JACK JOHNSON is NO
LONGER THE CHAMPION
Jess Willard, the Kansas Cowboy, is
the HeaVyweight It--He Put
One Over the Black.

Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy,
is the new heavy weight champion
pugilist of the world. He knocked
out Jack Johnson, the black champion,
in the twenty -sixth round of their
championship bout at Havana, Cuba.
Monday afternoon. The knockout was
a terrific right swing to Johnson s
jaw.
1t was Johnson fight all the way
until the twenty second round when
his vitality left him because of the
hard pace Wh ch he carried through
out the early rounds.
Then the giant plainsman opened
his heaviest attack AND in the next
four rounds carried the fight away
from the black man and toppled him
over with rights and let's to the
body and blows to the face.
Seventeen thousand persons saw
the combat and when Johnson
crumpled up on the floor from a
fierce right swing to the jaw, the
crowd burst into the ring. Soldiers
cleared the ring.

Blackstone, will hereafter be in

physical shape of the paper a very
worthy change 1t is no longer eight
columns, but instead is now seven
columns and really better in print.

retiring publisher, has been IN bad
health for a number of years.

DATES OF MINSTREL SHOW

of Fun Certain.

Rehearsals are progressing the
best in the world, and' matters of
detail in the way of preparation are
being attended to by the members of
the K. P. lodge for their forthcoming
minstrel show. And the public has
every assurance that it will be real
show.
So satisfactorily have preliminaries
moved that the management feels
certain that all will be in readiness
before the middle of this month.
Anyway, they have set Thursday and
Friday evenings, April Is and 16, as
the dates for the production. Of
course it will be given at Hatcn's
opera house. Bills are put out, and
the public will not be permitted to

the show those who had the pleasure
of witnessing it surely will never
forget the fun they had for the two
hours.

Drive Stock to Market.

The John Williams farm, near
Hurricane, brought in a carload of
fat stock on Tuesday and shipped 1t
to market. The car was packed full,
and each animal therein was fully
topped off, or it would not have
been in the company. One cow turned
the scales at 1900 pounds. The
Williamses have two carloads that
are almost ready to ship, but not
quite up to the standard they have set
for the finished product on that farm.
John Williams is still in California,
where he goes for the winter, and
will not get back here until some
time in May, so the family expects.
The two sons, Ray and Jesse, are on
the job at the big farm, and are look
ing after nearly 200 head of cattle
stock, besides the usual number of
swine about such an establishment.
They drove the stock in, Tuesday,
instead of hauling in wagons, as is
now the custom.

HOADLEY HILL IS
Being REFORMED
1t Has Been Nuisance for More
Than 70 Years.
Steep Grade Being Eliminated, by
Cutting Out the Face
of Bluff.

County Highway Commissioner
Henry Mink is making rather frequent
trips to Hoadley Hill these days, be-
cause, forsooth, he has important
business in those parts. A new road
is being built on that hill, as part
of the PIatteville- Dubuque highway,
and the work on that job has reached
an interesting stage.
Hoadley Hill lies, or stands up and
down, in the northeast corner of the
town of Paris, and is about half way
between Dickeyville and PIatteville.
1t has been an unmitigated nuisance
on that old highway for more than
70 years, and joy to the world, the
nuisance is on the point of being
taken out of that hill. When John
Longbotham started TO take the kinks
out of that stretch of road between
Platteville and Dubuque it is said
that he had particular designs on
HoadIey Hill. He has several large
farms in that vicinity, and must
travel the hill more or less.
There are points on the old road
up Hoadley Hill where the grade is
fully 20 per cent, and by reason of
the washings that are the result of
almost every rain the road is in bad
state Of repair the most of the
time. Now it Is being cut so as to
avoid any considerable grade-none
more steep than eight per cent will
remain after the present job is
finished.
In order that the work might be
properly done the whole stretch was
laid out new, and runs through new
territory for a space Of $500 feet.
This new road is being cut out of
the face of the bluff, and is being
made % feet wide. 1t was surveyed,
as now being built, two years ago
and work was begun last fall Not
much work was done, however, until
this sprin Now the force is not so
large, but e 16 men and four
teams are m king a lot of eartn to
fly.
This Hoadley Hill is known for
one of the worst pieces Of public
highway in Grant county, and many
persons are waiting to know that the
nuisances of steep grade and deep
mud are overcome. Peter Miller is
the foreman in charge of the work.
The men who are handling the dirt,
and who make il to ifs, belong in and
about Dickel vile.
It is estimated that this work will
cost about SIS, 154, outside of the
macadam top dressing, and the guard
fence which has to be built on the
DOWN. hill side Of the new road. To
finish the undertaking will probably
require another $1,000. OF the
$500 feet of new road the most of
it passes through pasture fields; some
of the way 1T leads through scatter
ing woodland.
