The wall of our school-rooms are
dark and dingy. In many places they
need plastering, and in all places they
ought to be whitewashcd or calsomined
Visitors frequently comment upon tie
unattractive appearance that bare and
smoked walls give to the rooms. Can
it be supposed that such surroundings
make but little difference to those who
are enyironed by them daily. The build
ing needs n new coat of paint and
other minor repairs. New furnaces
are almost necessity. IL is not too
early to suggest the need of an addition
TO the size of the building if the School
IS expected TO continue growing. But
q slight increase in attendance will
crowd the rooms to a great disadyan-
tage. A piano for the Chapel is great
desideratum. We have repeatedly
spoken of the need of apparatus, and
the attention Of all who wish our
School to occupy its deserved position
is again earnestly invited to this matter

THERE is an end to all things but the
interminable time which had been al
lowed the Earnest case to drag its slow
length across hejudicial stage led many
to suppose that this was an exception
to the general rule. The contrary was
proved at Madison last week, where
MIR. Orr had been in attendance upon
the Dane county term of the circuit
court, to which change of venue had
been taken by the defendant. Here the
usual motion for a continuance was
made but the court held that four was
enough and declined to grant the petit
ton. The defendant not appearing the
bond was declared forfeited and action
will now be commenced to recover from
the sureties.

ANOTHER insane person was sent to
Madison, the past week, in the person
of Wilhimcna Schroeder, from Liberty.
Mrs. Schneider has only lately returned
from Colorado, where she has been since
1879. While there she was married,
and afterwards deserted by her hus-
band. She was taken i'll and sent to a
hospital, while her child, which had
been the result of the marriage, was
taken from her and sent to an asylum.
After Mrs. Schneider had recovered, she
was shipped back TO Grant county. by
the Denver authorities. The loss of her
child preyed upon her mind, until she
finally developed unmistakable symr-
toms of insanity, and on the petition of
her brother-in-law she was sent to Men
dota, where the state authorities will
look up the question of which state is
responsible for the care of this poor
creature.

SPECIAL LOCAL NOTICES.
The Fairlamb Cream Can.

That is what we desire to say few
words about. There having been de-
sire expressed among our patrons to
own their cans instead of renting them
as formerly. we have decided to sell tie
cans to all who wish them this year.
Our charge for them will be what they
cost us in Chicago, we paying for
freight and packing which is about
$1,000 per 100. We make this liberal
offer because we intend our patrons
shall have the best cream raising can
ever made. We need say but few
words regarding the can, it has stood
every test, and stands at the head to-day.
1t will raise more cream from a given
amount of milk than any can in exist
ance, and the increase in production
alone, will pay for the can the first sea-
son. Send in your orders as rapidly as
possible so we may know how many
cans to order, and state whether you
want full size of u gallons or Z size 5
gallons. We recommend full size.
Yours truly,
DEPUY & MORSE. Props,

TROUT fishers were up bright and
early on the morning of the fifteenth,
only to meet a lowering sky relieved by
occasional dashes of cold rain. The
prospect was not pleasing, and the ma
jority of the Waltonites returned to
their alleged virtuous couches, to dream
and sleep, perchance to snore, and thus
drown in the waters of Lethe the disap-
pointment which had been theirs.
Others, more enthusiastic. or less easily
deferred, continued after the unseen;
and so successfully prosecuted their
search, that one party came back
with ninety-one beauties of the speckled
trout kind. This was the largest, and
an an exceptional, catch; but it set
handlers of the rod and flies wild, which
excitement communicated itself to
outsiders, until even old men forgot
their infrmities and girded their loins
with strange belts and their shoulders
with basket straps, and HE'D them to the
home of the sagacious and wary trout,
where, up to their knees in spring
water and expectation, we will leave
them.

which is increasing each season and
only needs little active exertion to per-
nit of its being doubled.

PURSUANT to a resolution adopted at
a meeting of the Sportsmen's Club, re-
ported in THE HERALD a short time ago,
the secretary ordered from Palmer &
Sons, of Boscobel, four thousand brook
trout with which to stock other streams
in this vicinity. The cost of the same
was betrayed by subscriptions from
merchants and others interested in
trout fishing. The trout were received
Tuesday and three thousand of them
were at once taken out by Frank Calls
and Chas. Lisherness and let loose in
the Marsden brook, while the remaining
thousand was put in Pigeon. This will
finish the work for the year and will
furnish the basis-when properly fol-
lowed up-for some fine fishing in the
future.

DIR. Wild ON Woman Suffrage.

This age is noted for women and
steam. The grandest question to-day is
whether to put women where God put
her, in paradise or not whether to give
her the privilege of voting for the laws
to which she is subjected. 1t is ques-
ton that must be agitated until woman
must stand over against man as his
equal according to her status and posi-
ton. No government can much longer
keep her down. She has as much right
to vote for her own laws as / have. 1
would sooner trust my own mother to
east ballot than half hundred of the
politicians who drink and swear.
