LOSES VALUABLE HORSE.

Irving III. Jackson, deputy sheriff,
lost a valuable horse Sunday as tho
result of carelessness on the part OF
boys who have been allowed to carry
rifles. The horse was shot through
the heart with .22 rifle Another
horse was shot in the leg and the
bullet has not yet been located.
This team was valued at about $3.50
and the loss is a heavy one to Mr..
Jackson who purchased the horses in
June. Suspicion rests on three or
four boys and Mr.. Jackson tells us
there is no question but what the
boys took deliberate aim.
II is up to the authorities to see that
boys who are not old enough to tote

All Public Places Closed by Order Of
Governor Sleeper.

Mayor Bridges on Monday receiv-
ed Governor Sleeper's proclamation
in which local health authorities are
advised OF the general closing OF all
places OF public nature until fur
ther orders.
The governors order did not in
clude schools because IL was thought
that with proper inspection the child
rem were safer in school than out.
The question OF closing the schools
is therefore left to the judgment OF the
health authorities.
This comedies with the order Is
sued by the Iron County War Board

time the people OF Crystal Falls have
been without their movie show, and
the churches In this city were closed

tion by the governor.
Theaters. churches, public librar-
les, lodge halls, pool rooms, dances,
parties, lodge meetings, society meet

The physician in attendance at the
two cases at the Western mining loca-
tion reports that the patients are re-
covering, and no new cases have de-
veloped up to the present time. How
ever, every precaution is still neces-
sary.
The Western school which was or
dered closed last week by the local
health authorities because OF these
two cases, will resume classes Mon
day morning.

DIR. BOyICK MAKING GOOD.

Word received from DIR. Bovick
brings the information that he has
been selected as one or the instructors
In the college for war surgeons main
tanned at Fort oglethorpe. Georgia.
DR.. Bovick was one OF seven whose
work showed them to be so proficient
that they were excused from examina-
tions at the end OF the course which
tho army prescribes for war surgeons
and were placed Immediately at work
as instructors in the war college.
Or. Bovick had visions OF a position
at some base hospital in France when
he left here, but the surgical depart
ment OF the army has decided that he
is needed to train others for work at
the front.
Mrs. Bovick Is with the Doctor and
they live in Chattanooga. He lectures
at the college from nine o'clock a. m.
to 500 o'clock y. m, and Is very nice
ly situated.
He still hopes to be able to get
across the water before the war Is
over, but Il looks as II his services are
too valuable on this side 10 spare him
for overseas work.

IRON COUNTY WAGE RATE.
Was Readjusted ut Meeting Of Mining
Men at Iron River Thursday.

A meeting of the mining superin-
tendents of the Iron county mining
district was held at Iron River last
Thursday at which the wage. rate in
force here was canvassed in every
particular, and II was decided by un
animous vote TO recommend to the
head officers OF the companies doing
business in the county that the wage
scale be readjusted as follows:
Eight hours per day will be the
base for all workmen Under
ground men have been on an
eight-hour basis for several years,
but the surface men have not.
Hereafter the day for all men
shall consist OF eight hours.
All overtime will be paid at the
rate OF one and one-half OF the
regular time.
This means that all men who have
jobs where it is necessary to work
more than eight hours will get one and
one-half hour extra for every hour
they work over the eight hours.
The meeting means re-adjustment
of the wage scale upwards. and many
men will get substantial increase.

Timber Mostly Hardwood.

The timber lies between Balsam and
the Fence river and is mainly hard
wood timber with lot OF paper ma
terial mixed In with it, AS we under
stand II the logging will be done from
Balsam at which point IT will be load
ed or else logging road will be con
structed from that point.
II is understood that the Flewelling
. tract Is included in the deal and that
there Is total acreage of about TO-
600 acres In the lot under considera-
ton.
The natural outlet for the timber
Is south, and with the railroad facili-
ties already existing at Crystal Falls
it looks as If this is the logical point
fer the mill, especially as there is
large market here for the wood that
will result from the cutting OF the
timber

BIG TIMBER DEAL

MILWAUKEE CAPITALISTS SAID TO
HAVE EYES ON CRYSTAL FALLS
BOUGHT TEN THOUSANDAcRES
Large Timber Tract North West of
BaIsam Has Been Acquired and
Logging Will Start Soon

There IS a chance open for Crystal
Falls TO get sawmill which Milwau-
kee people have in contemplation for
the manufacture OF the timber from n
large tract OF land that they have Just
purchased close to Balsam.
Some who have inside information
on the deal say that the deal is closed
and that the persons interested In the
purchase are seeking site for their
mill. Others say that the deal is not
yet closed, but that the prospects are
very good for its being closed soon.
From appearances we are inclined TO
think that the latter statement is the
correct one.
The active man In the transaction is
Geo. T. Johnson. Milwaukee capital
ist and lumber man. He has associat-
ed with him j. b. Rosebush, president
OF the Patton Paper Co. OF Appleton
and a man OF large business affairs In
the Fox River valley. He is a director
in one OF the big banks in Appleton
and has other business interests, par
ticularly In the paper industry.
Mr.. Johnson Is reputed to be man
OF large business affairs, also, and
likewise a man OF large means. He
has been the man active in the work
OF inspection OF the lands, and was in
Crystal Falls last Monday in company
with John Mangum OF Marquette, and

parents of Richmond:
Parents may feel safe in sending
their children to school when they
open Monday. 1t would be better,
however, If families in which there is
already influenza. would not permit
the we'll children from coming to
school unless they have already had
the disease; not that they will carry
it, but they may become i'll in school
and infect others.
I'm order to prevent further infec-
ton, children should go directly to
their homes after school, and should
not be permitted to mingle in crowds
or visit homes where there is illness.
With the reopening Of the school
two new teachers will begin their
work at Whitewater school. They are
Miss Mary Stewart, of Xenia, O., and

grading period. The school year will
be divided up into two terms of fifteen
weeks each and each term divided in
to three five week periods.

cautions to help fight the influenza in

time the teachers will only "hit the
high spots in the work this year."
B. w. Kelly, principal of high school,
said today.
Night school will open tonight and
anyone who wishes to enroll may do
so then, Principal Campbell of the

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-The Pres
ident's address to congress follows:
Gentlemen of Congress: The year
year that has elapsed since last I
stood before you to fulfill my consti-
tutional duty to give congress from
time to time information on state Of
union has been so crowded with great
events. great processes and great re-
suits. that ! cannot hope to give you
an adequate picture Of its transactions
or of far-reaching changes which have
been wrought in life of our nation and
of the world You have yourselves
witnessed these things as ! have. 1t
is too soon to assess them; and we
who in midst of them and are part Of
them are less qualified than men OF
another generation will be to say what
they mean or even what they have
been. But some great outstanding
facts are unmistakable and constitute
IN sense part Of public business with
which it is our duty to deal. To state
that is to set stage for legislative and
executive action which must grow out
of them and which we have yet to
shape and determine. A year ago we
had sent t45,9lS men overseas. Since
then we nave sent l,950.5l3 an aver
age of 162.542 each month, the number
in fact rising in May last to 245. 051,
in July to 307. 1872. and continuing to
reaching similar figures in August and
September-in August. 285,575 aud In
September. 57.4%s. No such move
ment of troops ever took place across
1000 miles Of sea followed by ade
quate equipment and supplies and car
ried saftly through extraordinary dan
gers of attack-dangers which we're
alike strange aud infinitely difficult to
guard against In all this movement
only 75S men were lost by enemy at
lacks, $50 Of whom were upon single
English ship which was sunk near
Orkney islands.
Americans Stood Test
I need not tell you what lay back
of this great movement ON men and
material. It is not invidious to say
