but quietly and bravely jeff. Dillon

FREE HIGH SCHOOLS. never
could exactly understand why some
persons opposed our public high schools.
The rich, certainly. ought not to COM
plain, for it affords their children the
means of obtaining an excellent edu-
cation at much cheaper rate than the
old-time rate-bill system; and the poor
should not find fault, because without
the free high school. their children
would be deprived of all the means
they will ever have of obtaining any
sort of an education in the higher
branches. Now the children of the
humblest laborer are granted the privi-
lege of sitting in the same seat with the.
millionaire, and measuring intellectual
lances with children of congressman.
We have known young man, whose
bedroom was in the basement of poor
tenement-house, stand far above, in
scholarship and department, another
young man whose feet at home only
walked on the finest carpets. Could
this have been possible if there had
been no free high school? As it was,
both parents were obliged to work early
and late in order to provide books,
clothing, and food for their son. The
aristocrat who would take away the
means of obtaining an education from
the poor and remand them to lives of
ignorance and drudgery, is not worthy
the position of an American citizen. He
is born despot, and would have made
an excellent feudal lord. 1t is the
glory of our land that the last vestige
of oppression is banished from our soil.
We hate the spirit of intolerance that
would keep child ignorant because he
is poor. Barnes Ed. M0nthlu.

A MESSAGE was received last week by
President Baxter, of the Soldiers and
Sailors Association, from General
Ticket Agt. Thrall, of the G. & N. w.
R'y, to the effect that the company had
concluded to run the excursion train
demanded on Thursday the 23rd, the
great day of the reunion festival. The
train will accordingly leave Platteville
at 6:45 on Thursday morning and ar
rive at Fennimore at S:45, where it will
connect with train from Boscobel and
Woodman. Its arriving time in Lam
caster will be $3.50 a. m, getting ex-
cursionists to the city in ample time to
participate in all the exercises of the
day. Returning, the train will leave
here at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, or
not until all the exercises of the day are
concluded. As stated heretofore the c.
& n. w. R'y will sell tickets to the re-
union at one and one-tifth fares, thus
placing it within the reach of every one
to be present.
WITH the appearance of Harry Web
Der and his excellent troupe Aug. 22nd
and 23rd, the amusement lovers of this
city and vicinity will be assured of a
treat which rarely falls in their line.
The company opens with NIP and
Tach.' to be followed by the wierdy
romantic melodrama OF the "Corsican
Brothers" This last named piece is
the property of the author and actor
John Stetson and has been a favorite
with the best actors of the day. 1t is
strong in dramatic power and scenic
effect, the latter being especially beau
tiful and striking. Mr.. Weber has
secured the sole western right to use
the properties and scenery and will
produce the play here with all the beau
ty of setting for which it is noted. As
the play is rarely, if ever, heard out
side of the large cities this will afford
all q chance 10 see one of the finest
melo-dramas of the age right at home.
1t is chance which should not be al
lowed to pass unheeded.
