(We are still waiting for the car line, but it will not be a horse car line this time.) Ai Official Inspector. Dr. Almah J.

Frisby, of Madison, a vice president of the State Board of The High school and Normal played an exciting 0 to 0 game of foot ball the fair Saturday afternoon. A spirit of intense rivalry was apparent all through the content, the playing, however, being clean on both sides. The Normals kicked off after the goals had been chosen, and for the first half the High school, by hard ph'yinRr, had somewhat the advantage of their opponents. The half ended with the ball in the Normal's territory. In the second half the Normal's superior endurance told, and the Highs were played to a standstill, only the inexperience of the purple and gold players preventing a touchdown.

Several of the Normal men had never played foot ball before, and one had never even seen a game, while the High school team was for the most part made up of old players. The line-up: High School-- Normal-Holum le Collins R. Moen It Halverson Carpenter Ig Baity Dobeck Kumm Boyanowski Olson Weltman rt.Billings-R. Olson Grant-Coye re Birdsall Love qb.Geraldson-McDill Ondracek rh Odin Pierce Ih T. Olson Dumas fb Leo Pierce Umpires--Murat and Bischoff.

Linemen--Cashin and Everson. Timekeepers--Bigelow and Curran. NOTES. A few forward passes were tried by both sides with no succses, so end runs and line plunges were the order of the day. Pierce and Ondracek featured in ground gaining end runs, while Dumas, playing a whirlwind game at full, made several successful line plunges.

Capt. Love, at quarter, played a strong, heady game, managed his team well and showed superior judgment in his selection of plays. Collins had a decided shade on Dumas in punting, several of his kicks going forty yards or more. Birdsall starred at right end. Grant of the High and Geraldson of the Normal were laid out with turned livers and ankles, respectively, Coye and McDill taking their places.

Control, spent last Thursday in the city and while here was a guest of her friend, Miss Martha Week. The county and City jails were inspected, as was also the orphan home at Polonia and the poor house at Amherst Junction. She criticised the sheriff's office for feeding their prisoners too well, saying they should have sufficient wholesome food, but when too great a variety is provided it is more of a picnic than a punishment to be sent to the county jail.

excellent one, he being a strong addi- of Waasau. tion to tbe oca faculty Tke Dairy Laws. I R. B. Southard, of Marshfield.

a deputy dairy and food inspector, has been looking over matters in this county for some time and it will be well for our farmer friends and readers to be very careful to see that they comply with the law regulating the sanitary condition of their milk and cream. Special attention is called to the laws passed by the last legislature, including- chapter 215. which especially provides that all utensils used in the handling of milk and cream shall be thoroughly cleansed after using, and that separators and other utensils must not only be clean, but cannot be kept in barns where the odor will have an unsanitary effect. Arrests have already been made in this county and people fined because this law has not been complied with, but we believe it will be neceg- sary for The Gazette to simply call tfaf attention of its readers to the law as ft now stands upon the statute books to have them strictly live up to the same.
