an excellent season last year and
was a big success.
The following is the list of Hur-

be selected to go against Park Falls:

riage of passengers for hire must
first obtain a permit from the town
board. The sum of five dollars per
month must be paid for such per-
nit.
The board also adopted an ordi-
nance relating to hawking and
peddling within the town Of
Vaughn. Such persons must first
obtain a license from the town clerk
before they can carry on their bus
mess. The license fee is III various
sums, according to the method
used by the hawker or peddler.
The full text of these ordinances
is printed in this issue. They be-
come effective following their pub
lication. The police will be provid-
ed with booklets containing the
rules for drivers of automobiles,
motorcycles, etc, and every driver
will be handed one so that he may
become familiar with the regula-

REGULATE AUTOMOBILE DRIVING.
Town Board Adopts Ordinance Regu-
lating Driving and Operation of
Automobiles and Other
Motor Vehicles.

The much needed regulation of
the operation and driving of auto
mobiles, motorcycles and other mo-
tor vehicles in the village of Hur-
ley has come to pass, and no long
er will the drivers of these ma
chimes be allowed to hog the roads
and endanger the life and limb of
the public with their reckless driv-
ing. Especially on the main street
has this reckless driving been a
menace. The fine brick paved
street makes an ideal drive for autos
and motor vehicles, the roadbed is
smooth and a greater part of it is
level, and drivers of these machines
have been wont to speed up" as
soon as they struck the good going
and sometimes their ambition to
burn up the dust has seen no
limit and many narrow escapes from
serious injury to pedestrians have
been the result. If rightly enforc-
ed. and there is everv reason to be-
lieve that they will be, the provis-
ions of the ordinance adopted and
rules prescribed at Mondays meet
ing of the board will put an end to
all this, and work for the peace of
mind of the common ordinary per
son who also has rights on the pub
lie highways. The ordinance pro-
vides for a speed not exceeding flf-
teen miles per hour; the driver
must stop his machine when APP
preaching a street car taking on or
discharging passengers and must
not start up again until such street
car has taken on or discharged its
passengers and the car again start
ed; all drivers of motor vehicles
must keep on the right hand side
of the street; the penalty for viola
tion of any of the provisions is the
payment of not less than FIVE nor
more than one hundred dollars to-
gether with costs of suit in all
cases.
Another ordinance adopted re
lates to the operation of motor We
hicles for the carriage of passengers
for hire. Any person, firm or cor
poration desiring to operate motor
vehicles on the streets or highways

Post. 9 Toll and Post will COM
pose the battery for Hurley and the
rest of the team is TO be determined
on tomorrow. Armstrong and
Christman are slated to work as the
battery for the visitors.
Park FL 5 took first place in the
league last year and no doubt their
aggregation this year is equally as
strong. Too much must not be ex-
pected of the players i'll the first
game of the season, however, as
neither of the teams have hat. any
practice to speak of, the weather
being unfavorabe for ball practice.
AS the season progresses the article
of ball will improve and before long
the most ardent fan will find in the
games played here everything 10
satisfy his every desire.
A feature of the ball games i'll
Hurley this year will be the pres
ence of the Hurley band. Arrange
ments have been made to have the
band furnish music at all the games
at the Hurley park this season.
This feature will be appreciated by
the fans and as the offer of the
band boys comes unsolicited, they
offering their services free of charge,
this enterprise on their part should
receive the commendation of every
fan. The presence of the band will
add greatly to the entertainment
part of the ball games.
The work of repairing the fence
and erecting a new grand stand at
the Hurley park has been in pro-
gress this week and will be com
pleted for tomorrow's game. The
game will be called at 2:IS, so as to
allow ample time to finish the con-
test so that the visitors can leave
for home on the 500 line.

A cleanup campaign is to be
conducted in the village of Hurley
by its health officials and the above,
copy of a notice circulated this
week, speaks for itself. Under the
direction of Dr. c. c. Urquhart, :,
health officer, residents and proper
ty owners will be urged to clean
up, which means that all filth, gar
bage and refuse collected during
the winter will have to be removed.
Attention is also called to the sec
tion in the Wisconsin statutes re
lating to the abatement of nuisan-
Ces, which among other things pro-
vides that the board of health may
cause to be removed all nuisances,
source of filth or cause of sickness
from private property and the same
charged to the property owner or
occupant thereof.
In many cities and villages it is
the custom to set aside a special
day or days for a general cleaning
up, at which time officials and re-
sidents unite forces and conduct
the work. The services of school
children are often enlisted in the
work as we'll as various organiza-
tions, the result of which is that
the work is we'll and Systematically
done. And while no such action is
expected by the officials here the
good work can be nicely carried
out by residents and property own
ers cooperating with the officials.
After a hard winter such as the one
just past there is collection of a
great amount of ashes, garbage
cans, filth, etc. which if allowed
to remain during the hot summer
months would cause sickness and
be a menace to the public health
1t is the duty of every property
owner and occupant to see that the
winters collection of refuse is re-
moved. 1t not only will make the
community healthier but will also
make it neater in appearance. The
streets and alleys will be properly
looked after by the officials and il
is up to the property owners and
occupants to look after their end oi
it. For failure to do so provision
has been made in the laws of the
state, as stated above. So get busy

Feter Van Vlissengen was released from Joliet
prison last week after serving sentence Of eight
years for forgery His release came because of
his irreprOachable prison record, because, though
In as bad straits as a man can reach and live he
retained his stamina, his winsOme character and
his ability to do things. Peter Van Vlissengen
was a remarkable man, and before his downfall
had the friendship and confidence of thousands.
Working people trusted him and brought him
their savings, and there are cases on record in
which he made handsome returns to his patrons.
When the storm broke he was rated at two mil
lions of dollars Then came the deluge. But Van
Vlissengen did not attempt to retain the still
huge sum of money in his possession Instead,
he turned over $600,0 900 toward paying the losses
of those who suffered through his forgeries, for
Van Vlissengen placed valuable deeds and mort
cages under glass and was able to trace all their
detailed and elaborate engraving. When arrest
ed he startled the police by acting as his own
prosecutor and furnished the evidence that
brought about his conviction. He stated recently
that ne would devote the balance of his life to
erecting fortune by honest means, and in time
would repay each and every debtor. Some might
attempt drawing a moral from the life OF this
man. To us there is none, except that he is a
strange, able and complex character-a criminal
and a genius.

Chautauqua season is passing in most Of the
nearby towns with, it is said, most remarkable
extension of this scheme for summer amusement
and instruction. The event in Lancaster was
more largely attended than any Of those in the
past, because it was of itself much better and al
so had more push behind it from local people.
Chautaquas are excellent according to the
amount of money spent for them and that this
one might have been surpassed is no reflection
on the system or the local people who gave it to
Lancaster. The Herald believes in the chautau-
qua, and wants to see it maintained in Lancaster.
1t believes also that the business of the city
should take an active interest in the affair and
get behind it. The Lincoln system, while good
is not the only system, as they might have you
believe In fact, there is competition in this just
as in other lines. Let us consider the matter, Sc

proper dates and judicious advertising, could be
made to pay and pay big.
