Light.

1t is the health, not the eyesight,
which parents with studious children
should ever protect, though they should
be most merciless in insisting on suf-
iicicncy of light, and light which actu
ally reaches tho object of attention.
You may sit in room full of light, but
have all the while only twilight, or even
a deep shadow falling on the work in
hand. Light, full light, but light with
out glare, is the grand preventative of
the eyes.

The Census.

The work of taking the tenth census of
the United States commences this year on
the first day of June and has to be COM
pleted by the first day of July. In this
district, Col. D. E. Welch, the Supervi-
sor, and his chief clerk, Hon. w. M. Fogo,
have arranged all the necessary prelimin-
aries, and are ready to set their enumera-
tors at work. A circular of instructions
to enumeratOrs has been issued from
Washington, containing many valuable
hints to the men employed 1t particu-
larly recommends courtesy in asking the
necessary questions, and no needless dis
play OF the compulsory section of the law,
which provides heavy penalties for refusing
information Enumerators are not bound
to put down statements as given to them,
when they have good reason to believe
them false, especially in regard to Grip
pied or idiotic members of family, whose
condition may be denied by the parents.
Upon the population or family schedule
is to be entered the name of every man,
woman and child who, on the 1st day of
June, 1880, shall have his or her "usual
place of abode within the enumerator's
district No child born between the LIST
day Of June, 1880, and the day of the
enumerator's visit (say June 9th, or 10Th,
or 25th), is to be entered upon the sche-
dule. On the other hand, every person
who was resident of the district upon
the first day of June 1880, but between
that date and the day Of the enumerator' S
visit shall have died, should be entered
on the schedule precisely as if still living.
The object of the schedule is to obtain a
list of the inhabitants on the first of June,
1880, and all changes after that date,
whether in the nature of gain or loss, are
to be disregarded in the enumeration

The soldier boys who contemplate visit
ing the reunion at Milwaukee in June,
are doubtless interested in knowing what
kind of sustenance they are to receive
while there. The following from The Sen
tinel fully explains this point:
The contract for subsisting the soldiers
during the Reunion has been let to SWEET
land, Miller and Holtz. The contract is
larger undertaking than many would
suppose. 1t involves an outlay of at least
$4,000 before single meal is cooked
For the purpose of subsistence twenty-one
buildings will be required. Ofthese there
will be eleven mess houses 80x16 feet each
six refreshment stands S0x16 feet each;
one great restaurant 150x26 feet, which
will be kept open all times, on the Euro
pean plan, three building for commissary
headquarters 26x40 feet each, where
tickets will be dealt out and the general
subsistence business attended to. The
mess houses will be arranged in groups of
five, and between these will be a large
building for store room and steam
boiler room. The buildings will be erect
ed to accommodate about 20, 600 men and
800 men will be engaged as walters, etc.
The food will all be cooked by steam
One large boiler will be located between
the mess houses, where the steam will be
generated and carried by pipes to each
mess-house. Each mesS-house will be dis
tinct from any other; will be numbered
from l to 10, and each ticket will be num-
bered SO that an equal number will be fed
at all the houses. The contract requires
that if there are not more than 5000 men
the men can be fed standing at the corn-
ter, but if their are more than 5000
people they will have to take their meals
away from the counter The contract
does not require that the subsister furnish
plates, knives, forks, spoons, nor any other
eating accommodations; nothing but
food
The bill of fare is to be entirely differ
ent every day, and the following for the
first day is a fair specimen of what the
soldiers will be fed on:
Breakfast-Beelsteak and boiled eggs,
hot oat meal mush, hot rolls and butter,
hot corn-bread and butter, boiled potatoes
and coffee.
Dinner-Corned beef and cabbage, pork
and beans, boiled potatoes, green corn,
bread and butter, boiled rice, coffee and
pie.
Supper-Cold corned beef, cold pork
and beans, hot rolls and butter, hot corn
bread, tea and coffee.
1t will be noticed that there are no
roasts nor fried meats, for the simple rea-
son that it would be utterly impossible to
serve such under the circumstances.

LAKE MILLS.

The Congregational Church is repair
ed and reprinted, and will be closed for a
short time.
Business is booming at Seavers' knife
factory where six hands are as busy as
they can be making knives.
There is feeling of profound sympa-
thy expressed for the extreme disappoint-
ment that our enterprising county seat
has met with in not getting the railroad.
When Lake Mills has her new railroad
the good people, Of Jefferson will be able
to walk down to the junction and take
the cars for this place and have real
good time picnicing around Rock Lake.
The citizens here always be well pleased
to see them for prosperity will not make
them proud, or cause them to forget the
time when Jefferson was so good and kind
and friendly towards getting the new rail-
road.
It is extremely creditable to those citi-
zens who are improving the appearance
of their residences, lawns and fences, and
it is an example worthy of emulation by
those who are Indifferent about the looks
of their premises.-Spike.

The following clipped from the Apple
ton Crescent is equally applicable here as
in any other part Of the state. So be
ready with statistics.
The United States census will be COM
plete during month Of June next, and
there is hardly anything that will do
more to render it easily and correctly
taken than for the farmers (from whom
principally the statisticr will be gathered)
to begin now to prepare answers to the
questions of the census taker. He will
want to know how much you had in 1879
of acres and bushels of wheat, corn, oats
rye, barley, buck-wheat and potatoes;
how many bushels merely of peas and
beans; number of acres and valuation in
product of orchards and vineyards and
small fruits, number Of acres and tons of
hemp and hay; bushels of clover, flax
and grass seeds; acres and pounds OF hops
and flax; bees-number of hives and
pounds of wax and honey; sugarcane-
acres, hogsheads of sugar and gallons OF
mollasses Of the crop of the calender
year 1880, the officers will want the num-
Der of feeces and pounds of wool, pounds
of sugar and gallons OF mollasses. Of the
Weld during twelve months from June l,
1879, to May 81. 1880, he will want pounds
of butter and cheese, gallons of milk sold,
value of animals slaughtered, value OF
home products, and value Of home manu-
facturers Cut out and put it where you
can refer to it next week.

MADISON, May 29.-The following is
the official syllabus Of the decision of the
supreme court in the case Of Geise VS..
Greene, relating to the Milford dam across
Crawfish river:
l. The county court of Dodge county
has Jurisdiction of an action for I'M uries
to lands in that county by howage caused
by the maintenance of dam in another
county, even where the judgment sought
would operate upon the dam itself.
2. Sec. 1877, R. S. provides that "any
person whose land is overhowed or other
wise injured by any such dam Gas previ-
ously described in the chapter may OBJ
tain compensation therefor in a civil ac-
ton as provided in this chapter, against
the owner thereOf----in the circuit court
for the county where the land lies, but
in no other manner" Held, that these last
words merely limit the right of civil ac-
ton for damages or compensation for the
lands flowed to this form of remedy, and
do not effect the jurisdiction of the coun-
ty court under sec. 2465, r. S.
g. Where the charter under which a
mill-dam in a certain stream was built,
provides for ascertaining the damages for
fowage according to the mill-dam law of
1910 (Which by its own terms related on
ly to dams in rivers not navigable), it is
immaterial whether the stream in CUES
ton is or is not navigable. Wood v.
Hustis, II Wis, 416.
4 The mill-dam law of 1910 was re-
pealed and subsequently restored, and,
with amendments since made in some par
ticulars, is the only general law upon the
subject; and it is therein declared to be
Applicable to all cases where compensa-
ton has not been made for damages sus-
tanned by the erection of any dam now
maintained" Held, that it governs the
present action. No. 76. Hartwig Adm X.

Bad Bumps.

A small audience assembled at Turner
Hall last Thursday evening and sat like
"bumps on logs anxiously awaiting the
curtain to rise to give them an opportu-
nity of witnessing the play Of Bumps as
announced by the Blaisdell Comedy Com
pany with John Dillon as the leading
star. Mr. Blaisdelrs bump of caution
was so large that he determined, their be-
ing such small house present, not to
play and declared Bumps "of,' for the
evening, as thereby he claimed he could
save money, there not being enough in
the hall to pay expenses. The purchas.
ers of tickets had their money returned
to them. 1t is surmised that the trouble
was not Just as stated by Mr.. Blaisdell
and that there was something else in the
way of the companys playing, for which,
however, the manager vas not RESPONSE

have presented Bumps Thursday even
inc would have illustrated the old saying
of playing Hamlet with Hamlet left

Homer ID. Copes' Readings.

Homer D. Cope, of New York, the
elocutionist, gave readings at Turner
Hall last evening under the auspices of
the lodge of Knights of Pythias. There
was a fair-sized audience present, and
general satisfaction was evinced over the
readers efforts. We think, however,
Mr.. Cope is open to some criticism for
his very formal and deliberate delivery
in some of his selections although labor
ing under the effects of severe cold as
he was may have been the cause. But
in gestures and action the gentleman is
perfect, and is always thoroughly versed
with the text of his subject.

Circus Dan.

Burr Robbins Circus made its entry
into town last Saturday. The grand pa
rade given in the forenoon was witnessed
by one of the largest crowds ever
seen in the city, Main street being fair
ly lined with people of all ages, sexes and
conditions Shortly before noon
rain began to fall and the circus
manager and patrons were given a
wet afternoon. Notwithstanding the
rain, however, the tent was well filled.
In the evening the rain had not ceased
and the performance was given before a
somewhat slim audience, although much
larger than might be expected under the
dismal surroundings. The exhibitions
both afternoon and evening gave good
satisfaction.
