THE INSTITUTE BEGINS
To Be Held Mext Week at the Lady
smith High School Building —To
Continue Three Weeks.
All the people should take an interest
in the institute. It affects all the peo
ple through its influence upon teachers
and those who are to be teachers in
the coming years. Even the children
who do not go to school are influenced
because they will associate with the
pupils who are instructed by the school
teachers. School boards should know
why if their teachers have not attended
an institute either here or in some
county conveniently near their homes.
Why should the people care whether
a teacher attends institute or not, so
long as she is a good teacher? Because
they know that there is progress being
made in the lines of education as in
nearly all other lines and they know,
too, that the best way that teachers
can find out what progres is being
made by others is to attend the insti
tutes.
The people also know that a great
deal of money is being expended to
maintain these institutes, all of which
is being raised from them in taxes
since the repeal of t’na law requiring
an examination fee, and they want
teachers to turn the benefits back to
the districts in the form of better in
struction in their schools.
People are asking what teachers are
going to be at the institute, and some
progressive school boards are basing
increase of salaries to some extent
upon attendance at institute. Some
teachers have had no professional train
ing other than a few weeks at institute
and some young folks apply for schools
without any training in how to teach.
This will gradually be changed and
professional training for teaching will
be required by law. At a recent edu
cational meeting such a law was recom
mended.
Members of various school boards
will visit the institute next week to see
what is being done. Visitors will be
welcome.
MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT.
Eagle River Looking to the Owner
ship ol Water Power:
Ex-State Senator Daniel Riordan of
Eagle River, was in Wausau Tuesday,
negotiating with representatives of the
Alexander-* Stewart Lumber Cos. and
with the Brown Bros. Lumber Cos. of
Rhinelander, which was represented by
A. W. Brown, for the sale of the site
at Otter Rapids, below Eagle river, to
the city of Eagle River, which town
proposes to construct a large dam at
that point. The lumber companies
agreed to sell their interests in the site
but reserved certain flowage and hy
draulic rights.
The posposed dam is expected to de
velop 1,200 horse power, of which the
municipality of Eagle River expects to
use about 200 for purposes of its own
and the balance will be offiered free to
manufacturers as an inducement to lo
cate there. Another meeting to com
plete arrangements will be held in Wau
sau Jnly 6th, at which meeting many
who are interested in the water power
along the river will be present. — Wau

Two Deaths.
Elizabeth Lint.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lint, mother of Mrs.
S. D. Speidel died at the home of her
daughter Sunday morning, July Ist, at
the advanced age of 77 years. Funeral
services were held at the house Tues
day and the remains were interred in
the Ladysmith cemetery.
Mrs. Lint was a lady of highly es
teemed qualities and led a life of great
usefulnens.
Elizabeth Luell.
Elizabeth Luell passed away from her
youthful endeavors and pleasures Sun
day morning at the age of 17 years.
She was a bright and pleasant miss, the
pride of her parents and the friend of
all who knew her. She had talents
especially in a musical way. In all she
was pleasing, bright and cheerful.
Death came from appendicitis after a
week of illness. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon at 5 o’clock and the
remains were laid at rest in the Lady
smith cemetery.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. George
Luell, have the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends.
The Best.
She (indignantly)—Stop, sir! You
shall not kiss me again! How rude
you are! Don’t you know any better?
He (cheerily)—l haven’t kissed
every girl in tovn, it is true, but as
far as I have gone I certainly don’t
know any better. —Watson’s Magazine.
HARNESS THE POWERS
The Wisconsin River Comming in for
Consideration—Not as good
as Flambeau.
That Wisconsin water powers are
attracting attention is indicated by
events all along the line. Those who
anticipate such development are gener
ally very reticent about the matter, but
occasionally something is given out that
indicates progress. The following is
from the Wausan Record.
“C. B. Pride was here a little while
yesterday and last night went up to
Tomahawk. Mr. Pride has been en
gaged for some time in making esti
mates of different water powers along
the Wisconsin river, the work being
done for parties who are figuring on
their developments-
When it was suggested to Mr. Pride
by a representative of the Daily Record
that imformation regarding the work
would make interesting reading, he
laughed and said: ‘‘That so I could
give you a good story only it might in
terfere with the carrying out of some
of the proposed developments. All I
can say is that there is a whole lot doing
and before long I can give you some
thing worth while. But for the present
there is nothing to say. ’ ’
A PROSPEROUS FARMER.
Because He Works and Makes Things
Move.
* Frank Rada of the town of Grow was
in the city Monday. Frank is one of
those pushers on the wheel of progress
who will make a success anywhere, but
a greater success in Rusk county where
opportunities to hustlers are lying
around loose everywhere.
Mr. Rada settled two and a half miles
south of Tony about six years ago and
proceeded to log off his timber in the
winter and clear land in the summer.
The extent of his operations and suc
cess with which he has met wil 1 be in
dicated by the fact that he will have
this year about 80 tons of hay to sell.
Mr. Rada appreciates the value of
stock and would keep cows enough to
consume all his hay, but says the “milk
ing proposition ’ is a big one without
help in the family and the difficulty in
keeping hired help. We are inclinded
to think that Mr. Rada magnifies the
milking question.

LADYSMITH, WISCONSIN, JULY 7, 1906
FOURTH OF JULY A BIG BAY IN LADYSMITH
Nation’s Natal Day Celebrated in Ladysmith With Plenty
of Features of a Jolly Good Time—A Grand Day
Filled With Fun and No Serious
Accidents.
The Fourth of July has come and
gone. Everyone has settled down to
the routine of daily life and the event
exists only as a memory.
The usy w T as a model one—a better
one could not have been made to order.
The sky was clear, the air fresh and
cool enough for the exertions necessary
to sight seeing.
The attendance from abroad was
somewhat disappointing. The train
service was not such as to allow people
to come early in the day —the limited
refusing to stop at the smaller stations.
Unfortunotely the new road was not
ready to rum trains as had been hoped.
The evenst of the day were contested
with vigor and attracted close and ani
mated attention.
No accidents of a serious nature oc
curred to mar the pleasure of the day
or to remain as an unpleasant recollec
tion.
The chief officer of the day, Sheriff
True, made a commanding figure, sitting
his steed in true soldier style and per
forming his duties in an efficient manner.
The launch race was a spirited one in
which five excellent craft participated.
The distance was from town to the site
of the upper bridge and return. Frank
INSTITUTE CONDUCTORS
Will Come Today— Teachers Are Ar
riving Ready for Work Monday.
Many from the west will come on
the way freight Monday morning.
The indications are that nearly all
resident teachers will be at the Lady
smith school house next Monday. A
number of teachers from other coun
ties, attracted to this county by the
higher salaries, have written that they
will be here.
D. O. Kinsman, who will be the
chief, will be here tonight. Mr. Birk
beck comes tonight.

Miss Eunice Cain returned to her
home at Canton after sgending a few
days in the Andersen home.
Hughes won the race, Jake Speich com
ming in second best. It was a pretty
race.
The fire department exhibited its tal
ent to the satisfaction of the audience
and with honor to the members.
The tug of war between the Eagles
of Ladysmith and a mixed team from
up the line was a stubborn one, ending
in favor of the up-country people.
The hundred yard running contest, by
B. E. French, F. R. Ingle and Allen
McGill was won by Ingle.
The rack race was won by Odus Hur
less in an exciting race.
The potatoe race was one by B. E.
French.
The ladies race, in which several con
tested, was won by Miss May Rote.
The greased pig was captured by Ted
Kilgore.
The log rolling contest was between
Alex Parks and Ole Midland was
one of the best ever seen anywhere.
Parks won the second event and lost the
first and third.
The evening was spent with fireworks
and balls at various places, all of which
was well attended.
Chafing Dish Aprons.
Have you seen the dainty aprons for
chafing dish parties in the heart
shaped pattern? Cut a large heart of
flowered dimity or dotted swiss, roll
the edges and trin with a ruffle of
Valenciennes lace, leaving about ten
inches at the round part of the heart
untrimmed. This is slightly gathered,
and the strings are sewed to it, the
point of the heart forming the bot
tom of the apron. Cut a heart of
smaller size for the bib, which is also
rolled and trimmed with lace, and a
tiny heart for the pocket, which is
finished in the same way, but with a
narrow lace. The bib is sewed over
the strings with the point at the bot
tom, and the little pocket on the left
side of the large heart. The effect is
so pretty when finished that I am sure
it will please.
GRASSLAND MEETING
To Be Held on the 20th to Perfect
Organization and Consider
Local Matters.
A meeting of the Grassland associa
tion of Rusk county will be held at the
court room in this city on Friday, July
20th, for the purpose of completing ar
' rangements for entrance into the Grass
land car exhibit for the coming year
and the consideration of matters of lo
cal import and interest.
For the purpose of arrangements
with the Grassland exhibit, all who
have contributed to the SSOO exhibit
fund, which is now complete, will be
considered members.
A question has arisen as to the best
manner of securing samples for the
car. It is proposed by some to offer
premiums to farmers for the best
samples offered. This idea is pressed
for the reason that the farmers know
best where the better growth is and
that it will stimulate them to secure
excellent samples. In this connection
it is proposed to collect a duplicate lot
of samples to be exhibited at the Chip
pewa Falls fair this fall, where a very
liberal premium is offered for the best
county exhibit.
It has further been suggested that
a county Grassland association be form
ed, devoted to local interests.
It is certainly time that an effective
united effort be made to advertise Rusk
county.

her lip, and finally goes—a-shopping.
