ONE HEN Pa VS. FOR YOUR COUN.
TY PAPER A WHOLE YEAR

1t IS hard to believe but it is a fact
that there are intelligent farmers in
kenosha county who do not take a
county newspaper. They say: Cant
afford it" Now just think of it; the
products of one hen of even moderate
talents will pay for county paper a
year and leave surplus for Christmas
presents. Let us see. A hen with
half an eye to business will lay twelve
dozen eggs in the year, worth on the
average shilling dozen. If she is
family hen of any enterprise she will
raise at least one brood of dozen
chickens. If your wife doesn't watch
you, you viii sell the chickens for two
shillings piece and pocket the three
dollars. But if you will read the town
and county news to your wife in the
evening while she, is dressing them
they will sell readily for 10 cents per
pound in October. When the chickens
are four to five months old, if they are
the TELEGRAPH kind of chickens, they
will average four pounds dressed, and |
a dozen will bring $3.50. The eggs
are worth $1.50, making total 5000. |

KENOSHA COUNTY AGRICUL.-
TURAL SOCIETY.

The adjourned annual meeting on
Monday drew out a somewhat larger
attendance than the previous meeting.
We will give our readers full report
OF the proceedings next week. There
was one very encouraging feature, and
that was the determination to keep
alive the organization. Those present
manifested their willingness to sacri-
flee time and work demanded by the
society in carrying out its aims. One
OF the first things to insure it's future
prosperity is the removal of its debt.
How to do this was thoroughly dis
cussed. Finally a resolution was
adopted to the effect that the society
at its next annual fair would offer no
premiums; that dairymen, sheep, cattle,
horse and hog breeders, farmers gener-
ally, merchants, manufacturers, agents,
the ladies and everybody be invited to
come and exhibit their choicest pro-
auctions for their own and everybody
else's benefit, pride and satisfaction,
and that the entire proceeds of the fair
be devoted to liquidating the debt of
the society. This is an experiment,
but it was confidently believed by all
present that the people would gener-
ously respond, and that the next fair
of the society would be the largest and
best eyer held. One successful exhi-
bition with some confidently expected
help will extinguish the debt and give
the society sound financial standing.

THE &ENATORSHTp

The GAINESVILLE Gazette, in expressing
Its preference as between Reyes and
Sawyer, says Of the former, He can
do the people of the state a greater
amount of practical service than Mr..
Sawyer can. tits plain that he can do
this, because he has more brains than
Sawyer. more industry, more energy,
more physical strength, and under
stands the needs of the state more"
This is a puerile begging of the ques-
ton. Mr.. Sawyer's friends can make
equally as strong claims, and one claim
would simply offset the other. Unless
the Gazette is prepared to prove on the
scales that Reyes carries a larger num-
Der of pounds ayoirdupois than Sawyer,
we could not concede it's claims. Again,
if the assumption that Keyes carries
more ounces of brains in his Uranium
than Sawyer is the ground of the Ga
zette's support, to be consistent it must
support man with more brains than
Reyes carries, If 1t aDeye possible to
find such one. With regard to Keyes
it admits. There may be more bril-
liant orators than he is, greater consti-
tutional lawyers, men higher up in
what is called craftsmanship" SC. In
the view of the Gazette, the business
of a United States senator is to do
some hard work for the people he rep
resents, for the state at large, and for
the party which gave him the position
If Mr.. Keyes should be chosen senator
we hope he will not hold such con-
tracted views of the duties of that
high office. If his views are TO broader
than those of some of his supporters,
it would be a good reason for not
choosing him. The business of a
United States senator is to legislate for
the nation. and to do this rightly he
must be able to bring the experience
OF our own national growth as ex-
pressed in our constitution and stat
utes, and knowledge of the history
of other nations, to bear on the solu-
ton of the problems of government
which now agitate the nation. IF we
do not need the highest craftsmanship
in the senate of the United States,
what field shall it occupy? If there
is higher craftsmanship than possessed
by Reyes available to represent Wis
consin, let us command il, and leave
him at home to boss our state politics.

ing in a binding snow storm which
prevailed there. He started from Ap-
pleton between three and four o'clock
to go home afoot. Owing to the storm,
darkness came on earlier than usual,
and the weather turned bitter cold. He
lost his way in the darkness, and his
frozen form was found on corner of
his farm only quarter mile from his
house. Mr.. Gray had been a resident
of Waukegan for nearly IS years, and
was man of honor and integrity, and
commanded the esteem of all who
knew him. He was 65 years Of age at
the time of his death.

We are in receipt of the SD annual
catalogue of Beloit college, Rev. A. i.
Chaplin, D. D., President, and Judge
the institution to be in q fourishing
condition. Although young in years,
this college, in scholastic requirements,
stands head and shoulders above any
other institution in the west. In stat
| ing its aims it says: "The end con-
templated is the thorough, liberal,
christian education of young men who
are to be leaders of opinion and influ.
ence in society, in the church, in the
state. The period Of life chosen for
the process is the four years of transi-
ton from youth to manhood, centering
about that age when young man at
tains his majority. The education of
previous years is supposed to have
laid foundation on which special in
struction and discipline may be carried
on so as to develop in symmetry and
strength the powers Of the man so as
to give him self-possession in the COM
mand of these powers for any work,
and so as to furnish the mind in con-
siderable variety and fullness with
knowledge for its enjoyment, growth
and usefulness" From the statement
of the origin of the college we quote:
1.-THE union of different denominations
in the plan marks tsreligious character
as at once positive, evangelical and
unsectarian. 1t starts and proceeds on
the conviction that a complete liberal
education must combine in its culture
learning, religion and morality,
that christian truth, received and obey
ed in love, is the spring of righteous
ness in the individual life, and of pure
and healthful morals in the social
state"

A recent attempt has been made by
the United States Circuit Court at Co
lumbia, S. c., to try a party named
Royal for alleged repeating at the cleo
ton, but while there seemed to be no
doubt of his guilt, it was found i'm.
possible to impanel a jury which would
not acquit the offender, on account Of
political sympathy. Another case,
where the managers of an election
precinct were charged with hindering
and obstructing the United States
Supervisors in the performance of their
legal duties, and when the evidence of
their guilt was clear and conclusive
the jury failed to agree, and were dis
charged. These cases demonstrate that
the Federal courts are powerless to
enforce the election laws and punish
the Democrats for political offences in
South Carolina under the present iury
system. In view Of this fact, Judge
Bond has discharged all the jurors, and
ordered a continuance to be entered in
all the election cases till the April term
of the United States District Court, to
be held in Charleston. Modification
in this obstreperous State seems to be
as rank as it was In the days of Cal
houn, and is still more successfully
maintained.-State Journal (Nadison)

The constitution under which the
Agricultural Society was organized
thirty years ago simply defines the
usual and general duties devolving on
y president, vice-president, secretary
and treasurer. In the modern agri-
cultural society many special usages
have been developed, giving rise to
special duties, and these should be ap-
propriately and definitely assigned.
The society has grown, and the new
constitution should be made to CORE
spond.
