Little Interest Shown
In Platteville Meeting

PLATTEVILLE. - At the annual
school meeting held Monday night at
the city hall, Mrs. Ella Huntington
and Mrs. Robert I. Dugdale we're elect
ed for two years to succeed them
selves. r. A. Shepherd was elected to
succeed himself for three years. The
annual budget was voted, which
amounts to $50,185. 1t was also voted
to give the board power to sell the
cottage school which has been unoccu-
pied for five years. r. A. Goodell act
ed as chairman and about A voters
were present.
The new trustees of the Eagle GAR
age company who have taken charge
of the business are John Kettler Fred
Weinbergen and w. F. Knebel. These
men held meeting the first of the
week and have taken over all the
Eagle garage property and assets, to
be administered until the trust agree
ment entered into by the creditors. IN
der this plan with the property pledg-
ed by the stockholders of the Eagle
Garage Co. it seems very sure that all
creditors will be paid 100 cents on

BAGLEY OUTFITS
BADGERITES AND
WIN EASILY, 12-4
Heavy Smuggling of Visitors
Cinches Game for Them
In Early Innings.

Showing only intermittent flashes of
the speed and aggressiveness of which
they are capable the Lancaster Badg-
ers suffered defeat in the game Sun
day with Bagley at the fair grounds
in this city.
The slow start of the Badgers allow
ed Bagley to get a lead of considerable
margin, and when the Badgerites got
down to business the game had gone.
AS early as the last half of the
fourth inning when Bagley had run
the score up to 4 to l, it was
apparent that the visitors had the
game in sack.
However, the fans were loyal in
their support of the Badgers and kept
roofing for them vigorously.
In the first half of the 5th inning
Anderson replaced Hirsch in
the box for the Badgers, and his work
proved somewhat more effective. He
succeeded in keeping the hits scat
tered.
But the Badgerites couldn't connect
with the ball effectively at time
when hit meant run.
A fairly good sized crowd of fans
witnessed the game.
Score:
Bagley ......-.....--.....130 040 13012

TROUBLE IN COAL
FIELDS SEEMS TO
BE CERTAIN SOON
Unless Operators and Min
ers Can Agree on Wages
Strike Will Follow.

MILWAUKEE, This is not a mid
summer false alarm to jar household
erS and other customers of both hard
and soft coal into their filling their
bins, coal men say.
The unsettled condition of affairs in
all coal mining districts firmly con-
all coal mining districts have firmly
convinced coal dealers all over the
to stock up with next winters supply,
even though the swimming season has
just begun.
The rumblings of a general coal
strike are growing louder. The an
thracite wage contract expires Aug
81. A strike in the hard coal fields
may start if operators and miners fail
to agree on wage scale. Union MIN
ers in the soft coal areas, claiming
that mine operators are violating the
Jacksonville wage pact, are thinking
of walking out. Both anthracite and
bituminous miners in England are
restless and in the mood to lay down
their picks.
Need 100000 Tons.
Since the first ship entered Milwau-
kee harbor this year, about S05,000
tons of soft coal has been laid down
on the docks. This early season coal
must begin moving into consumers
bins soon, or dealers will not be able
to take care of the demand should a
general walkout occur.
Should a strike develop in England,
that country would have to look to the
United States for coal, the coal trade
believes. Europe and Canada would
have to come to this country for coal
and the demands of these countries
would cut heavily into the available
supplies and might boost prices, it is
believed.
Some consumers, fearing long tie
up of the coal industry, may buy much
more coal than they would in the face
of normal conditions. This will be an
other factor in creating a shortage.

Justice for the
Free High Schools.

Say what you want to, the high
school next to the common school is
our greatest educational institution.
Every college in the United States
could be RACED and the laws would be
less than the elimination of the high
schools.
A high school, in fact, is a junior
university. It's service, courses of
study and effect on life in general have
greatly increased in generation. The
futuer tendency will be toward a fur
Their increase in high school import
ance.
And with the growth of the high
school comes an increase in the bur-
den. The state of Wisconsin has de-
creed that this burden shall be
borne by the people within the COR
porate confines of the city or village
where the school is located. Recent
legislation allows farmers residing in
the district to withdraw if they want
to. Most of them will. This with
drawai may not be just. The HERALD
thinks it is just. But we do not see
the justice of forcing the people of a
small town to maintain high school
fa ABILITIES for a whole community or
county. The nonresident tuition fee
is too small to make up the difference
The next step is general taxation
to support the high schools just as a
general university tax is levied. This
would keep the high schools going
and relieve the people of the small
community free from burden too
heavy to be borne 1t is fair and we
must work for it.

BARN BURNS DOWN
$4,000 Loss by Lightning on Gring-
RICH Place Thursday.-Other Loss.

A barn, 40x80, on the Gingrigh farm
east of Hillside cemetery, was struck
by lightning during the severe rain
and electric storm about 2 o'clock on
Thursday morning. Despite the down
pour of rain, the building was mass
of flames in short order.
Help from this city responded to the
call, but nothing could be done to-
ward saving the structure. The rain,
falling in bucketsful, preventing de-
struction of large machine shed and
other adjacent buildings.
"Sherm" figures the total loss at
$4,000. He says he was alone in the
house when the bolt struck. He arose
at once and looked toward the barn.
The whole roof was ablaze. By the
time "Sherm" had dressed, Carl
Brandemuehl, a neighbor, was on
hand. The men could do nothing but
let the barn blaze.
This is the second time the Gingrigh
place has been visited by lightning. A
Teller of one of the August issues in
1898, relates of a lightning bolt at the
Gingrigh place. A number of animals
were killed. So the adage of Eight
ming never striking twice in the same
place" is not true. "Sherm" says it
does-every 80 years or so.
Other losses from the same storm
are reported. Linn Allen, residing on
the Dick Bennett place in North Lam
caster, lost four hogs. Two hogs
were found in one corner of the barn
alongside of a lightning rod. Two
others were in another corner of the
same barn alongside of a similar roo.

Town Meeting
System Obsolete.

1t strikes us that the annual school
meeting is obsolete and not calculat-
A better way would be to elect the
schools or the taxpayers. Electors
neglect all thought of school problems
for a year and then meet and at
tempt to settle things in 80 minutes.
On the other hand the school board,
selected by us as being representative
ly able, gives a years thought to
problems and are certainly better
qualified to act than the average cleo
tor.
future tendency will be toward a fur
whole board once a year, conserva-
tive or liberal as the votes run, and
to throw them out if they fail to car
~ out the taxpayers wishes. This
system is being used in other states
with good results.

Flashes
"Life Is Short-Tell the Truth"
Hold Another
School Meeting.

school Meetmg.
THE HERALD does not believe the
school board has the proper authority
to create another course after the
electors in meeting have voted to
throw out manual training. 1t would
strike us as ridiculous and futile for
the electors to hold a school meeting
and to vote certain things when the
board could meet Immediately after
and negate the action of the electors
as they pleased. Why have meetings
at all if such procedure followed
Why should the electors come out on
hot night and spend several hours
disopsing of school matters?
Mind you, the HERALD is in favor
of retaining the manual training
course. But we want to see it re-
tanned properly and legally and demo-
cratically. We think another meet
ing should be called for the purpose
of re-considerating the action of the
last meeting and would sign a petition
to that effect. We are not in favor of
the school board installing a substi-
tute course after the electors in meet
ing assembled disposed of the first
course.
If this is not right and fair and the
board has authority to negate any
action the meeting may take, what's
the use of all the pow-wow at school
meeting?

Why We Should Retain

Because
The new school was equipped with
that idea in view.
Present equipment would have to

The course can be made valuable

The work will be carried on under
the roof with other activities.
We have a domestic course for the
girls, why not have something besides
academic subjects for the boys.
The school board is fair about
this: They admit the course has not
worked out we'll but they believe they
can make it valuable. THE HER

chance it asks for.

the one sending back balloon that
had gone the longest distance. By
the time Mr.. Eichstaedt returned the
balloon the contest had ended and the
award had been given out.
1t is estimated that the balloon trav-
eled 1850 miles, crossing the North
sea, Germany, Russia and Siberia, and
the possibility was expressed that it
travelled twice around the world be-
