The setting apart of one day in each year in acknowledgement to Almighty God for this manifold blessing, has been sanctioned by long usage, and should be regarded as more than a mere for mality. In this country, more than in any other, the people have reason to feel grateful for the blessing of liberty and for the abundant opportunity open to all who are sober and industrious to improve their condition. We, at this time, are blessed with abundant harvest. Prosperity is universal throughout the land. Our own state shares in full measure this general prosperity. Mindful of these great blessings and privileges, and in accordance with time honored custom, and in conformity with the proclamation of the president of the United States, I, James O. Davidson, governor of the state of Wisconsin, do hereby designate and set apart Thurs day, Nov. 29, as a day of thanksgiving and praise, and do recommend that it be suitably observed by all our citizens in their several places of worship by ap propriate religous observance. Gov. Davidson. About Politics. Everywhere there seems to be a good spirit in the democracy of Wisconsin. Democrats feel that the contest has settled down on its merits and the most corrupt political wave that ever swept the state has begun to subside. There are voters in every party ready to follow inducements; these have been worked in every way; nationally has done its work and even religion has been dragged into politics. The municipal elections in the spring have been bar tered for support in the county and state elections in the fall. There was less of this in the election just passed in the two or three just previous and there is a prospect that this kind of politics has passed for possibly a gener ation. Contests can now be made on principle and that is a glorous thing for democrats. The party should organize early and make ready for a good cam paign, but care should be taken to keep the organization in honest hands. With this done and in the face of the great corruption on the other side there is no reason why the democratic party should not march to victory in the next election.—Hudson True Republican. Every word of this is true and well put. Let the democrats of Hudson get together and organize. There isn’t a better or stronger man in that city to take the initiation than George D. Cline. The way to do anything is to do it and if brother Cline will call a meeting for organization purposes the other demo crats up there will do the rest. Milwaukee Full of Democrats. Every day opeus our eyes to the fact that there is a very large number of real democrats in Milwaukee —citizens who sincerely believe that representa tive government is being destroyed by men who chase out to pass anew law every time poor old human nature shows some of its evils. If these men could be gotten into a party, what a maguilicent front it would present. Isn’t there somebody in Milwaukee who knows how these things are done, with patriotism enough to get under way an organization founded on demo cratic principles? There’s a name and fame in such work.—Milwaukee Jour nal. Of course there’s somebody. There’s W. H.

ECHOES FROM THE SCHOOI ROOM. BY PHIL. O. SOrUER. As the experienced mariner by skill fully shifting his sails can steer his ship into a desired port in the face of a per verse wind, so can a skillful teacher by artfully shaping her methods to exist ing adverse circumstances win over a whole community to her way of think ing as did that plucky little teacher the “bit wumman” in Jean Mitchell’s school. But she must be sensible and practical, and above all human. She must work along moderate lines. She must not be too eager to introduce innovations or remove the ancient landmarks. She must accept condi tions as they are and ever bear in mind that the district and the fullness thereof belongs to the people. It is natural for them to adhere to their customs and methods of thinking. One generation of schoolma’ams is tnree years. Three into thirty goes ten times. It will take ten generations of Yankee school ma’ams together with the best efforts of the superintendent to effect any considerable reform in the educational status of the rural school. Of course in the city where the people have not so much to say in the matter it is different. There educational reform, so to speak, is not infrequently thrust upon them as a matter of experiment by some over zealous educational patentee who in the interests of suffering humanity has in vented some “natural system” by which children are fed reform with a spoon something after the fashion portrayed by Dickens in his famous novel. Take the system of “dramatizing” reading lessons, for instance. It is remarkable to note what extremes nature will lead to in this respect if left unlimited sway. Also the “natural system” of writing. What a beautiful natural scrawl it develops in the child if nature is allowed to assert itself. But to return to our subject, the teacher must show a disposition to work. Nothing inspires confidence quicker or places the teacher in better standing in a community than for the rural folk to see the smoke arising from the chimney of the schoolhouse at an early hour Build up. Be construc tive as well as instructive. Replace that broken pane with anew light without calling a meeting of the board. Even a schoolma'am can do this. Oil the rusty hinges on the doors and keep tnings moving without too much fric tion. Get in line with the children. They are moving and growing. Keep going and growing with them. Progress is made on the march. Don’t stop to preach a sermon on moral reform or block the w .y with a peda gogical perpendicular. Adjust the in dividuals to the column as you proceed. Talk as you walk. Be enterprising. Get a cosmopolitan swing on you. Cultivate an air of progress and in dependence. Don’t stick on conven tionalities. It is oftentimes etiquette to disregard etiquette. Don’t ride a hobby. It may throw you. Get into the lumber wagon with the farmer. He may even let you hold the lines. Then you have him going right. In education as well as in politics when the people place confidence in you and trust to your intelligence and business methods it is easy to work out desired reforms. But don’t get too far away from the people. When your light begins to scintillate too high above their heads they will take a shot at it and you will fall with your light into the sea of oblivion. Too many teachers try to carry things by force instead of reason. They a.e running the school this year, but next year they will find to their sorrow, that the school is run ning them. In order to be a winner you must be a sticker, but don’t let the district absorb you. If you don’t need wall paper just at present buy anyway while the fifty per cent, discount at Callies last. You will need the paper in the future and will then pay more for it. UNDERTAKING DEPARTMENT Answers Calls Day or Night COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. TOWN OF BEE’JX.

The Harvest Home festival held at the chapel, Nov. 11th, was a success in every detail; the program given by the children of the neighborhood was very interesting and the part given by the friends from Wausau was exceedingly so, especially so the address given by Mr. Campbell and the solo sung by Mr. James. At noon a bountiful New Eng land dinner was served. The following persons from Wausau attended and assisted in the program: Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. James, Mr. and Mrs. Benson and Miss Gertie Boiler. LINCOLN SCHOOL NOTES. Drawing stands, which are a great improvement over those formerly used, are being made in manual training by the boys of room A. Instead of the usual two pianists there were three last week. Yeneta Beck in the morning and Lawrence Bernhardt and Alma Peterson in the afternoon. The traveling library has again been welcomed into our building and each room was glad to receive its allotment of books. We regret that we cannot have more. Hattie Felbaum, Elsie Priebe and Anna Rockenstein entered the un graded room last Monday morning. The tw former had been attending St. Stephen’s school. The ladies of the Literary club ex tended an invitation to the rooms of our school to visit the art exhibit in the Spencer building on Third St., Friday afternoon. The children were very much interested in the pictures and no doubt profited by it. The upper rooms had a speech, Mon day afternoon by Mohammad Ali. a Hindoo. He spoke about the habits, customs and education of his people. The talk was intensely interesting and much more instructive than any geog raphy lesson could be. Whips are very much in vogue. Not inside of the building however, but on the play ground. It has taken the nature of the game of ball which was recently carried on between the chil dren in which the boys and girls w r ere antagonists. It is rather difficult to decide which has the advantage the girls or the boys. A. M. Peterson S P. Templeton Licensed Embalmers W. T. Lawrence, Funeral Director HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. J. Mohammad Ali gave the school an hour talk on India, last Friday which was very interesting. Among other things, he told us that in certain parts, people permit their dead to be eaten by vultures, instead of being buried under ground. Mr Scholes was very doubtful as to the financial outcome of the game last Saturday. A meeting was called and inside of fifteen minutes twenty dollars was subscribed by the boys, to help de fray the expense. This shows up the high school spirit in W’ausau. The Necedah school teachers had a visiting day and ten of them visited the Wausau schools. The list included: L. W. Brooks Gertrude O’Shea Edwin F. Sanders Nellie Close Julia Torniey Frances Toracey Edna Allen Maria Gaffney Elizabeth Fletcher Agnes Taylor. They all spoke highly of the Wausau schools and went borne well satisfied with their visit. There will be no lyceum next Friday, but the program will be held the day before Thanksgiving. Asa rule the lyceum programs are too long or the time is too short, for the exercises usu ally last over half an hour after closing time. A way to remedy this would be to have lyceum once a week and make the programs shorter. Anna E. Schaefer, inspector of deaf schools spent Monday with Miss Hurley and inspected her school. There was a regular school board meeting last evening at which only regular business was transacted. The fourth year cooking class pre pared the following menu, last Satur day: ' Kish Chowder Oyster Crackers Cabbage, Celery and Nut Salad Bread and Butter Crisps Cream Tapioca Cocoa. The Band S. club held a meeting at Adle Peth’s last Friday evening Now that the football season s over, basketball will be taken up in about a week. Challenges have already been received from Antigo, Grand Rapids, Wittenberg, Marshfield and Stevens Point. The Wausau high school team met the Grand Rapids team last Saturday and played a tie game, although out weighed by ten pounds to the man, Wausau clearly outplayed the Rapids. Despite the fact that the field was one mass of mud Wausau put up a defense that held like a stone wall against the heavy Rapids team. Kraatz for Warn shu, and Arpin for the Rapids, both put up a good kicking game, although a great many of the latter’s attempts were blocked by the W’ausau forwards. Arpin seemed to be the star for Grand Rapids, while Stublfauth, Jones and Gorman did particularly well for our side. The game was opened by Jones kicking off to Grand Rapids. Wausau held and secured the ball but could not advance. Grand Rapids again took the ball and carried it to our thirty yard line, where Wausau again held. After using straight football and exchanging punts, Wausau put the ball on the Rapids’ eighteen yard line. Lamotte then tried a drop kick but the ball went wide. The whistle soon sounded with the ball in Grand Rapids’ territory. Grand Rapids kicked off and Lamotte fumbled but recovered and by a pretty run, brought the ball back twenty yards. The Rapids soon secured the ball and advanced down the field to Wausau’s eighteen yard line, and a little later the ball was brought to the six yard line, when a touchdown was soon made. No goal was kicked. Grand Rapids 5, Wausau 0. Wausau kicked off to the Rapids’ boys but they were unable to hold it. Wau sau securing the ball in the middle of the lield. By steady football the ball was advanced to Grand Rapids’ fifteen yard line, when Jones went fifteen yards for a touchdown. Kraatz kicked out and Lamotte made a fair catch, but Jones missed the goal, Grand Rapids again kicked off to Wausau but the whistle soon blew with Wausau’s ball in Grand Rapids territory.

Fast, of Grand Rapids, and Scholes, of Wausau. The following pathetic story was written by one of the little tots just out of kindergarten. “Once there was a girl and she teached school and she had a neckless and a little watch to it, and brutches to it, but on one place they had more ueckless than brutches, and uncle John sent her fifty dollars, and there was a gril and she was so poor, Marguet said that girl can have that neckless because she is so poor. Otto Kalinke.” THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL TEAM, ’O6. Last Saturday’s game closes another football season for Wausau high school. The spirit of hard, determined work, which brought us out of defeat at the hands of a heavier team aud a hostile referee in this last game, has character ized our team duriug the season. When school opened, and a muster of foot ball material was called, the show ing was not very hopeful. All. the back field of last year’s eleven, with the exception of Jones, who played a part of the time at full-back, were gone. The line was in fairly good condition, however, so that the largest problem was the selection of a quartet of backs. Captain Scholfield was moved from end to left half, where he played with dash and vigor in our first two games, but sustained an injury to his knee in theTomah game which kept him out of the remaining games, to the loss of the team. “Harve” is a strong defen sive player, clever at following his in terference, and a great help as a field captain. "Jack” Mormon was picked for right half. This was his first year on the team. A good base ball player, his skill at handling and passing the hall was in evidence, and he is a heady player. John Kuhlman was selected for an end at first, but later took the place of Seholfield at left half. "Coolie” is fast and hard to find when running with the ball. Rather too nervous for a back field position, he kept himself well in hand during the games, and for a first year player showed remarkable devel opmeut. Merritt Jones is a line lucker of a peculiar type. His speed when hitting the line is not fast, but his re markable faculty of keeping his feet enables him to make loDg gains when well supported. His work shows the advantage of two years’ previous play ing, and full-back position was easily his place. Arthur LaMotte, the 120 pound quar ter back, began the season by breaking a collar-bone at Antigo which kept him on the side lines until the last game. “Art” earned his position by his facility in handling the ball, his certainty in catching punts and his speed with the ball. This is his first year on the team, but he had played ou the second team for two seasons. Arnold Wegner played a strong, sure eatue at center. His work in blocking punts was tine and no fumbling ever resulted from his passes. He was a bulwark of defense, as he was last year, and the line loses a good man when he graduates. Wegner was supported by Gorman on the right and Campbell oh the left "Pat” Gorman, though not a heavy man, made up by hard playing what he lacked in beef." When we say that he "made a hole” for Jones’ touch down, we have told a good deal about him. Campbell is a guard of the heavier, slower type, who has profited by his first year on the team and will make a great lineman next fall. Karl Kraatz and John Stuhlfauth filled tackle positions ’ full.” Kr&atz’s panting was always reliable and be is one of those players who gets in every play. “Stoolie” had to learn tackle position, having played guard last fall, THREE BIG STORES WAUSAU, EAU CLAIRE, GREEN BAY Save One-Third on Your Clothing and Furnishings.

The tierce plunges on tackle, by which Grand Rapids had won her games previously, came to grief Saturday. Zeno Speer and Robert Sipes filled the terminal positions, hard pressed for their “jobs” by Conrad Althen. “Rosie” is faster than “Speery,” but both were usually on hand when a punt was caught by the opposing side. Rp er played at half on defense and the cue my’s interference was in consequence badly smashed. They are both on the team for the first time. Earl Lake is deserving of considera ble credit. With five days’ practice in the position he played quarter-back ; n the Tomah game without a fumble, and helped to win from Stevens Point, his skill as a drop-kicker ought to place him on next year’s team. The games were as follow *: Sept. 29th—Antigo 17, Wausau 0, at Antigo. Oct. Cth—Tomah 12, Wausau 0, at Tomah. Oct. 13th —Stevens Point 0, Wausau 5, at Wausau.

As one of the chief objects of this bul letin is to stimulate general discussion on horse breeding matters throughout the state, and thus continue the good work begun by Bulletin No. 127, which dealt with the principles and practice of horsebrei ding, it is hoped that every man interested in the improvement of Wisconsin horses will at once send pos tal card addressed to Agricultural Ex periment Sta’ion, Madison, Wis , call ing for Bulletin No.. 141. J P. Eich, who is justice of the peace at Hatley, was in the city today and secured a warrant for the arrest of Wallace Mead, whom he suspects of making away with one of his sheep. A line ram for which he paid $6 was car ried off and killed in the woods and the caress carried away Mead is a team ster working in a camp for Barker Stewart.
