Seward Public Schools organized a
literary society yesterday afternoon.
, The society will include all the pupils
in the gmdes above the second. Every
effort will be made to conduct the soc
iety in accoi dance with parliamentary
practice.
The pupils were called together In
Miss Nash's room at the close of the
i afternoon recess, and Superintendent
Morford stated the purpose of the
meeting and called attention to the
importance and value of the work that
a literary society can do.
Miss Nell Mathison was elected
temporary chairman and, in a short
speech, thanked the pupils for the
honor they had conferred upon her.
Miss Helen Tallasen was then elected
temporary secretary. Joe Bradshaw
was unamimously elected president o1
the society and immediately took the
chair after expressing his thanks in
an appropriate speech. Miss Ruth (*uy
was elected permanent secretary. Hel
en Talleson was elected librarian. TW
president appointed a committee to
arrange a program for the next meet
ing which will be held on the after
noon of November Rth.
The touchers and pupils of the Sew
aiu scnoois are very grateful to Mr.
A. H. Oogne for a gilt ol' nine hund
oound volumes 01 American
and British wit and humor. These
book* make a very pleasing addition
U> our library.
Dr. Sloan and Mrs. Sloan have also
contributed several books to the school
aiui tnc doctor says he has a number
more volumes that he purposes to
place in tne school library, for all ol*
wtilth we are thankful.
A tew days ugo it was reported
tiiul some of the school children hau
spoken disrespectfully to one or more
of the soldiers that are detailed to
guard the interests of the town. Th»*
superintendent called the children to
gether and gave them a lecture on
uieii* thoughtless remarks, and warn
ed in the luturw to snow all duo re
spect to these loyal men who are now
with us and who when the call comes
are willing to give their lives if nec
essary mat wo may live in peace and
be freed from the power that by force
of arms is trying to enslave the world.
The pupils of the geometry class
I crossed the pons as in o rum yesterday.
One ol' the young ladies of the class
ventured out alone on the bridge the
day belore, not wishing to leave her
classmates behind concluded to back
off and proposed that they call all
wait another day and make a rush
i or the bridge together. This they did
and after scoring for position they
took the bridge together and after
some leading and some pushing they
went over, although remarks mad?
there remains a lingering suspicion
that it was an as* who made the
bridge.

AD WOLGAST
SEEKS HEALTH
IN THE WOODS
SOMEWHERE IN WISCONSIN
Oct., 26- Unable to obtain a penny of
the fortune he won in the ring, Ad
Wolga.vt, former lightweight champ
ion, is acting os hostler to a decrepit
motorboat somewhere in the northern
Wisconsin timber country, where he
is trying to regain his health.
The Michigan bear-cat, who leaped
into prominence almost over night,
disappeared several months ago and
was not heard from until he com
municated recently w'ith friends in
Milwaukee to announce that he had a
job.
Wolgast shares with Hat Nelson the
distinction of being among the few re
maining “fighting champions.*’ Unlike
Nelson, who owns half the town of
Hegeswich, Illinois, and controls the
other half, Wolgast is virtually penni
less, his fortune approximately $150,
000 * being in custody of his mother
and his wife who are in Cadillac,
Michigan.
In a letter advising his friends of
espousal of industry, Wolgast said he
planned to go even farther into the
wood* for the winter and become u
lumberjack. He hinted that he hoped
through the strenuous life of a tim
ber cutter to regain his health and
return to the ring. This, however, is
considered unlikely.
Wolgast started his ring career as
a “pork and benner’’ in Milwaukee.
He wrecked the championship dreams
of a number of promising lightweights
and finally was awarded a try at the
title in 11)10. Nelson and Wolgast
met at Point Richmond, California
and tiieir battle probably will remain
u ring epic as long as the fight game
flourishes. It marked the climax of
a series of premier championship
bouts in the lightweight division, and
N’elsjn’s wonderful exhibition with
the late Joe Gans still were fresh in
the memory of the fans.
The fight was probably ono of the
bloodiest ever staged. At end of
forty rounds Wolgast'a youth hod won
and the “Durable Dane” was beaton.
For two years Wolgast capitalised
on his championship, taking on claim
ants over short routes throughout the
east and west Ho lost his titlo to
Willie Kitchie, San Francisco pretend
er, in sixteen rounds in 1912. Ritchie
batted Wolgast badly and tho bear
cat fouled him, Referee Griffin award
ing the bout to the California claim
ant.
Following his defeat Wolgast at
tempted to stage several come-backs
but never got within striking distance
of the title.
A year ago , Wolgast suffered a
physical breakdown and was sent to a
Milwaukee sanitarium, where he was
restored to comparative health. Fol
lowing his reloase from the hospital
he disappeared and no word came
from him until receipt of the message
that he had become a fresh-water
sailor.
