As the time for teachers Institutes

AS the time for teachers institutes
is near at hand, it behooves each
teacher to make at least reasonable
effort to attend one or more of them
this fall. There is an old saying,
diamond cut diamond which is
true in our profession. Contact with
superior minds must improve our
faculties.
Don't be afraid of enthusiasm
There is more lack of Heart than
brain. The world is not starving fol
need of education half as much as for
warm, earnest interest in soul fol
soul. We agree with the Indian who,
when talked to about having too
much zeal, said: Il think it is better
for the pot to boil over than not to
boil at all.
SCHOOL HYGIENE,-What a feeling of
responsibility is awakened as we read
the following extract from the pen of
Prof. Thos. w. Chittenden, of Apple
ton: at is probably true that
scarcely single school house exists
i'll Wisconsin which is anything better
than an approximation, more or less
remote, to the ideas of the advanced
sanitarian; nor is there probably a
school house where injury to greater
or less extent does not accrue to the
health of its occupants; it is also true
that the sum of this injury, which
might be greatly lessoned, is, in some
cases at least, greatly increased by
the injudicious rules adopted for the
government of the whole, or the un-
wise course pursued by the teacher in
the case of individual pupils"

Joseph Stephens to the Front with Stand
ard Articles.
sulky Flows, Common Flows, Wagons, Etc.


The attention of farmers is respect
| fully called to the Warren Sulky
Plow Attachment, manufactured by
Joseph Stephens, of River Falls. This
Attachment is model of simplicity,
strength and durability, will hold
right or left hand, steel, iron or wood
beam, new OF old plows of any size.
1t does not increase the labor of the
team, and can be handled by a twelve
year-old boy. 1t is particularly eff
cient in covering stubhle, corn stalks
and tall weeds. Mr.. Stephens has one
hundred of these attachments now in
process of construction which will be
ready for the fall trade. A careful
examination will convince any one of
the practical utility of the attachment.
No farmer can afford to be without
one.
Mr.. Stephens also manufactures
crossing plows, of various sizes, I'M
surpassed and rarely equaled by any
other make, which he sells at very
reasonable prices. His plows are
made of the best material throughout,
strongly put together, and will last.
In addition to his own manufac-
lures, Mr.. Stephens also keeps on
hand the celebrated Fish Bros. G. Co.'s
wagons, of Racine, and the Kappel
wagons, of Red Wing, Mimi. These
wagons are regarded among the best,
and are fast attaining reputation of
being "the most popular in USE"
ANY one who contemplates purchasing
should be sure and call before buying
elsewhere.
Mr.. Stephens is doing quite an
extensive business in the manufacture
ing line, and as all of his wares are
unsurpassed for durability and effec-
tiveness, our people should lend him
encouragement by liberal patronage,
and thus help an enterprise that will
materially benefit our village. As
straight forward business man he
stands among the foremost, and justly
merits what his interests demand.

POLITICAL POINTS.

= The Baldwin Bulletin says: "Hon.
Jerry Rusk is a candidate for Gov.
ernor, but we don't believe ne can get
away with Warner"
= Hon. Ira B. Bradford, of Eau
Claire county, who was last winter the
popular Speaker of the Assembly, de.
clines te be candidate for reelection
to that body this fall.
The Madison Farmers Alliance
decides against taking sides, as an or.
ganization, in the approaching contest
for State officers, but is in favor OF
making its power felt in the election
of members of the Legislature.
Should the senatorial syndicate
succeed in effecting tue nomination of
General Rusk for Governor, tho tenn.
perance people will doubtless nom.
mate State ticket.
By the press and politicians
throughout the State, Warner and
Rusk are regarded as the only guber.
Material candidates having any consid'
cradle following, with I the chances
largely in favor of Mr.. Warner.
Hon. Merit. Herrick, of Hudson.
who represented st. Croix county in
the Assembly last winter, we under.
stand has an ambition to go to the
State Senate next winter. With Her.
rick in the Senate, and either Bro.
VanMeter, of the New Richmond Re.
publican, or Bro. Bailey, of the Bald
win Bulletin, in the Assembly, our st.
Croix neighbors would be creditably
represented.
The prevailing sentiment among
Democrats ascertained by numerous
interviews by the reporters o. a Mil
waukee daily-is in favor of the nom
nation of a straight Democratic State
ticket. 1t is held by most who were
interviewed that the nomination of &
ticket is necessary to preserve the or
ganization of the party until more
suspicious season.
Though Senator Sawyer disclaimed
any intention of interfering in the can
vass for State officers, it is evident
that neither Sawyer or Cameron are
indifferent spectators. And it is also
evident that the nomination of Gen
eral Rusk for Governor, if it should oc
cur, will be heralded as a victory fol
the senatorial syndicate, corporation
and Milwaukee Custom House ring.
1t is stated that the adherents OF
General Rusk at Sparta, near the Gen
erals home, were obliged to resort II
the tricks of ward bummers to enable
them to run the caucus in the inter
ests of the Viroqua banker.
The Dunn County News makes thu
following observation: "The Cameron
Sawyer ring is combination that il
said to be working upa boom for Jerr!
Rusk. If the distinguished Senators
know their business, and we thinl
they do, they will keep their balC
heads out of this fight" We fear tina
the News errs in judgment.
= The Eighth Congressional Distric
has a candidate for Governor, one fo-
Lieutenant Governor, another for At
torney General, and still another fol
| Railroad Commissioner.
The senatorial syndicate is dlvid
ing on the question of who shall b.
Secretary of State. Col. johnson is OF
the regular syndicate "slate," bu
Sawyer's friends in the eastern por
ton of the State are for Captain
| Timme.
