turned prospectors and are banning
the sand. Traces of gold in Austin

DAY IS SUCCESS
HUNDREDS OF LAKE COUNTY
FOLKS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
INDUCEMENTS OFFERED.

Taking advantage of the free auc-
ton sale and the unsurpassed values
offered by the city retail merchants,
residents from every quarter OF the
district, including the n~eighboring
towns, this afternoon flocked to the
city. The day was given almost
wholly to business, and the customer
or merchant who did not prosper on
Madison's second monthly market
day, If such there was, remained in
the background.
Favored by one of the balmiest
days of the year, farmers, pretty
generally, knocked off" work for
the afternoon, despite the fact that
many are behind in their field work.
But the rows of automobiles and
horse drawn vehicles on the streets,
and the we'll p%atronized stores gave
evidence that where the men could
not get away from their work, sent
members of their families to take
advantage of the exceptional bar
gains offered.
Almost everything used in the
house Or on the farm was put on the
block at the free auction sale, which
opened shortly before 3 o'clock at
the corner Of Egan avenu and
Fourth street. Among the array of
second hand offerings were stoves,
for oil or coal, cooking utensils, beds
and bed springs, buggies, ~cultivators,
general farm implements, carpets
and an organ. Urchins did a pros
porous business selling popcorn to
the auction sale patrons, who crowd
ed the Fourth street walk.
Some of the stores engaged addi-
tional help for the day, and the res
taurants were well patronized. BY
the late afternoon most OF the out OF
town vehicles were comfortably well
filled with the merchants offerings.

AS TO ELIGIBILITY
LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERIN-
TENDENCY ELECTION CAUSES
COMMENT.

The recent primary election in
Lake county in which the school SUI
perintendency was holly contested,
since election has caused comment in
regard to the eligibility of the sue
cessful candidate. In order to settle
whatever dispute may have arisen,
Mrs. Della Stearns, county superin-
tendent Of schools, referred the mat
ter to State Supt. Lugg, from whom
she received the following letter:
Supt. Della S. Stearns, Madison,
S. ID. Dear Madam. | have yours
of the cath inst, in which you state
that the candidate who won the nom
nation for county superintendent OF
Lake county holds a provisional state
certificate issued December 4, 1915.
You state that some people there are
saying that she is not qualified Tor
county superintendent because she
hasn't a state certificate. You ask
me to say whether or not the provis-
ional certificate which this candidate
holds. makes her eligible to act as
county superintendent. In reply let
me say that a provisional certificate
Is issued under the authority provid-
ed by the latter part Of Section IA
provided for state certificates. o
will note that the language of this
section of the statute reads as fol
lows:
IAN applicant who presents evil
dence Of graduation from a normal
or other school shall also present evil
dence of eighteen months successful
experience in teaching before being
entitled to said ~(state) certificate,
provided that the superintendent OF
public instruction may issue to such
applicant the provisional certificate
for such probationary period"
The provisional certificate, then, is
Of the same rank as the state certifi-
cate and leads directly to a state GER
~tificate after the applicant has had
eighteen months Of successful teach
ing experience. 1t entities the holder
to the same privileges as the state
certificate or life diploma and there
can be no question but what this can
didate entirely meets the provisions
of Section 22 for the eligibility of
county superintendent.
Trusting that this gives you the
information you desire, ! remain,
Yours very truly.
&C. III. Lugg,
State Supt. of Public instruction.
Following Is Section 22 as referred
TO above:
No person shall be eligible to hold
the office of county superintendent
who Is not the holder of a regular
first grade certificate or a certificate
of higher grade, valid in the state at
the date of his induction into such
office and at least n year previous
thereto.

Memorial day, we believe. should be
a day of sacred observance. 1t

between good and evil forces, be-

observance of Memorial day. Let us

SUSPICION AROUSED
ACTIONS OF MEN AT LATE HOUR
WITH ESSED BY A BE
LATED CITIZEN.

With stealthy, measured tread,
dark forms, after midnight last night
skulked in a southerly direction
across the Milwaukee main line
tracks. There were repeated uncan-
ny halts and mystifying advances
along the line, and as the phantom
like objects guardedly wendell their
way toward the long deserted base
ball park, a lone, belated homegoer
had waited to his ears fragments Of
their muffled conversation.
The homegoer made out the di-
mansions of a dozen men and two
animals among the nocturnal prowl-
ers. The men carried guns, swung
loosely across their shoulders or
dangling in the hollows of their
arms. He watched their taciturn
movements, and guessed that one
and perhaps five men were about to
be received into their last resting
places.
1t was awful!
But the situation was a serious
one only TO the homegoer.
The forms were those of local rail
way men and a team Of horses. The
weapons" were shovels. The rail
readers went forth at a time when
all could spare a couple Of hours, to
put the baseball grounds in shape
for a contest which is being played
there this afternoon, between teams
representing locomotive firemen and
.roundhouse employees.
The men did not start to the ath-
letic park until after l o'clock, as
some Of them did not finish their
runs until about that time. BY ar
rangement, the baseball enthusiasts
went to the grounds in a body. Be
fore daybreak, the diamond was pro-
nounced to be in shipshape order.
