Prominent Democrat and Former
Member OF Council Is In Accord
with McNnhon's Idea.

The movement for a coalition mayor
which was started by i. $. Mcmahon
last week is rapidly gaining support
ers particularly in the democrat ranks
although its support Is not confined
to that party alone.
A prominent democrat formerly in
the council and one of those on the
last democrat ticket, expressed him
self this afternoon as in favor OF the
movement. He felt that any good
candidate who could tear free of par
ty lines and run campaign with a
Better New Britain" slogan, would
draw sufficiently from the two parties
to assure his election.

CAPACITY HOUSES FOR
OBRECHT STOCK co,

Greeted by capacity houses every
night of their four-day engagement
which closed Sunday, at the Unique
theater, the Obrecht Stock Company
was naturally highly pleased with
the reception given them in Ladysmith.
The announcement that they would
return next season was applauded,
for the company sent home a well
satisfied audience from every show, the
result being that many people were
turned away the last two nights of
their sojourn here.
This is the first season for the
Obrecht Stock Co. The Obrecht Sis
ters have visited Ladysmith several
times in the past, however, in vaude-
vile acts, the first time being quite
a number of years ago at the old
Worden opera house. under the name
of the Obrecht Family, when their
parents were with them.
The plays presented here were all
comparatively new and presented ,un-
der heavy royalties. The members of
the company were all well-fitted for
the roles assigned to them. The spe-
cialties between acts were much en-
jOyed.

MAKING FIRST-ST. PASS
ABLE IT'S ENTIRE LENGTH

First-st., between Corbett-av and
Lindoo-av. will be opened for travel
in the near future, it is said. The
deep hole at the west end of Adams
av. and just north of the Lindoo resi-
dence, has prevented the use of this
portion of First-st for travel. But
the gradual filling of the hole was ac-
celerated when the street paving be-
gan, by the addition of much earth
from the streets being paved and now,
with little grading yet to be done,
the street will be open it's entire
length and traffic from the south may
come directly into town ON it.
A number of streets and alleys in
the west part of the city were made
presentable and passable by filling
from the same source that First-st
was The earth which was removed
to be replaced with paving material
was put to good use and the public
is that much ahead. The city auth
critics do not intend that anything
owned by the public shall go to waste.

in EXELAND
Several Blocks of New Concrete
Walks, New Grading and
Another General Store

A great improvement has been made
past six weeks. The main thorough
fare has been graded in fine shape,
cutting down the sharp grade in front
of the creamery and filling and widen
ing the low place to the east of the hill
as far as the Weirgor bridge. The
ravages made by Swan creek when on
a rampage last spring have been repair
ed to considerable extent and it is
hoped the fill will keep the stream on
the west side of the road hereafter.
Three blocks Of fine cement walk add
very materially to the appearance of
this thriving little city that ought to be
in Rusk county.
John Roach, of Chicago, is erecting a
large store building and will carry a
general stock, giving Exeland four gen
eral stores. This building will be two
stories high and the second floor will be
fitted up for an opera house.
No one is idle in Exeland. Besides
other employment, the National Match
Co. is operating a camp five miles west
of, town, shipping the logs to their fac
tory at Joliet, Ill. They expect to open
other camps in the near future.
Exeland lost one of it's live wires this
week when Archie Persons moved his
family to Lacrosse, where he has ac-
cepted position as sales manager for

MANY SEND LISTS
IN WORD CONTEST
Mrs. A. V. Simon, A. M. Conk.
lin and Josephine Dresden
First Weeks Winners

Nearly one hundred readers of the
News-Budget submitted lists of mis-
spelled words during the first week of
the contest being conducted by this
paper and which has five more weeks
to run. For the first week, this is cer-
tainly a manifestation that the contest
is popular and that many of our read
incorrectly spelled words. Entries were
received from as far away as Ash
land, Superior, Green Bay and James,
vile. 1t is remarkable that only six
found all the incorrectly spelled words
and several school teachers missed
some of them. The names of those
who found all the errors are: Mrs.
A. V. Simon, Miss Josephine Dresden,
Mrs. Elmer w. Hill, A. A. Hadden, A.
M. Conklin, and Mrs. Ross Kittelson,
the latter of Bruce, r. d. 2.
Six Found Them All
After narrowing it down to these
six it was no easy matter to pick the
winners. Reading the rules, it will
be noted that the prizes are to be
awarded each week to those sending
in the nearest correct lists of mis-
spelled words" Inclusion of a word
claimed as mis-spelled, but which was
correct, even though all the mis-
spelled words were found and listed,
would not, Of course, be as nearly
correct list of the mis-spelled words
as list that contained only the mis-
spelled words
Two of the six gave the word Ak
minister as an incorrect word al
though it was correctly spelled, as
given here. One Of the six listed all
of the incorrect words correctly and
then spoiled it by adding ''perscrip-
tion" as the proper spelling Of pre-
scription'' and giving "Worchester"
as the right way to spell Worcester"
One of the six had perfect list with
the exception that she listed two er-
rors in the advertisement of "Ditt-
manson & Nelson whereas there is
no firm. of that name.
Quite a.. number of contestants in
correctly listed ''fieeced' in the Gold

OVERWHELM
SHELL LAKE
Ladysmith High Keeps Visitors
From Scoring.-Ashland
Armistice Day

In a much better game than the
opener with Prentice proved to be,
the Ladysmith highschool football
team defeated the Shell Lake high
school team at the fair grounds in this
city Saturday by a score of 46 to 0.
It appeared from the beginning that
the local eleven was the stronger ag-
gregation, and as the game proceeded,
subs were put in to get some real
practice, and the subs played the game
we'll
1t is expected that the local high
will be up against a much harder prop
osition in the Eau Claire Normal
squad here tomorrow afternoon.
May Meet Ashland
But the hardest test that the locals
will have to meet will probably be a
contest with the Ashland highs, cham
pions last year, in the proposed game
on Armistice Day, if such game can
be arranged, and strong effort will
be made to arrange for one by the
team and by interested fans. 1t is re-
poILcu LHdC one eHIHuSldSIlc Ian Will
give $50 toward bringing these two
teams together on that date, Nov. IL.
The chances are very good for a
game with one of the crack Ashland
teams for Armistice Day. Coach Jay
says that the Northland College team
has signiied that it would like to play
Ladysmith that day
If Walter Soule and Art Johnson,
on last years Ladysmith team, are
able to play. tomorrow, they will be
in the lineup of the Eau Claire squad.
Soule has broken finger twice in play
this fall, and Johnson sprained leg,
and neither is in the best condition at
present.
