REV. DIR. L. C. LANCE.

Seldom has a death occurred in this
city producing more profound sensa-
ton of sorrow than that of Rev. DR..
L. G. Lance, Chaplain of Kemper
Hall, Episcopal school, on Friday last.
He was held in much esteem by all
who had the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance. His affable and genial manners,
and christian bearing towards all, won
for him the general respect of the peo-
pie. He had a kind word for every
one, and was not only respected and
loved by the people of his religious
order. but widely respected by chris,
tian men and women of other names
Protestant and Catholic. His liberal
ity was unmixed with the element of
narrowness. The death of DR.. Lance
IS loss not only to the church of
which he was an horored representa-
tive, but to the entire community.
Mr.. Lance was born in New Jersey in
1882, and at an early age entered
Charleston College, sc. He graduated
at the General Theological Seminary
in 1854. He had charge of a congre-
CATION IN Charleston during the late
war of the rebellion. In 1859 he be-
came Rector of a church in Frankfort
KY, and from that city he came to
Kenosha in 1872, where he became
Rector of st. Matthew's church. After
FIVE years contiHaance in the rector
ship, he took the position of Professor
and Chaplain of Kemper Hall, Young
Ladies' Episcopal School.
The funeral exercises were held in
st. Matthew's church on Tuesday, 8
o'clock P. NJ. Long before the COM
mencement of the services the congre-
cation began to assemble, eyincing the
deep interest of the community. The
spacious auditorium was well filed by
a sympathizing people. Bishop Brown,
of Milwaukee, and a large number of
clergymen were present. The services
in the church were conducted by Rev.
DR.. Ashley, of Milwaukee, Rev. DR..
Locke, of Chicago, and Rev. s. j.
French, Rector of st. Matthew'S in this
city. There was no sermon preached,
but the customary readings and
prayers were given, interspersed with
appropriate singing and chanting. At
the close of the services in the church
large procession moved to Kemper
Hall. The scene was impressive. The
snow was gently falling; the Bishops,
together with over twenty clergymen,
in long white robes, wearing stoles of
various colors, indicating their rank or
order, walked III procession the entire
distance. Arrived at Kemper Hall,
the casket was lowered into the grave,
which had been prepared a few feet
from the chapel; after which the
young ladies of the Seminary passed
around the open grave, singing a
beautiful hymn, and each dropping a
flower on the casket.

DAKOTA: SHALL TT HAVE JUS
TICE OR INJUSTICE?

Much interest just at this time at
taches to the admission of Dakota as
state, especially in Wisconsin. Many
families from this vicinity and other
portions of the state have moved to
Dakota, and many others are expected
to follow. This very naturally excites
much interest as to the future among
those who contemplate emigrating to
that Territory, as we'll as their friends
who remain behind. The claim of
Dakota for admission into the Union
has never been surpassed by that of
any former Territory. We compile
from the statements now before the
committee in Congress a few facts.
That portion of Dakota which now
asks to be admitted lies south of the
4Sd degree of latitude, which divides
the Territory nearly equally. Southern
Dakota has an area of territory as
large as the nine following states put
together: New Hampshire. Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, Delaware. Maryland,
and West Virginia. The population
of Southern Dakota by the census of
June, 1880, was 100000; Northern Da-
kota $4,000. Since that date there
have been over 10000 homesteads en-
tered and over $1,000 pre-em ptions
taken. 1t is evident that the increase
of population of that part of the Ter
ritory now asking admission cannot
be less than 100000. There are now
twenty-five states which at the time
of their admission had each less pop
ulation than Dakota-their popula-

Commenting upon the probable
working of the different branches of
the Government Of the United States
under the constitution, one of the faith

made by the Judges, would prove the
insidious and certain destroyer of the
freedom of the citizen, and such has
been the experience of the last century.

Mr.. Kruckman, merchant of Wilmot,

CIRCUIT JUDGESHTP.

The Elthor71 Independent has some
we'll considered remarks on the ques-
ton of Circuit Judge for this district,
and does not fully coincide with the
suggestions which have therefore, ap-
peared in the TELEGRAPH. We have
favored the calling of convention,
based on the action of primary meet
ings in the several towns, in the same
manner conventions are called for
nominating other important officers.
We still incline to the opinion that
this is the better method. The Inde-
pendent is not understood to entirely
dissent from this view, but sees difficult
ties in the present situation in arriv-
ing at fair expression of the will of
the people. It must be admitted that
the true voice of the people is often
misrepresented by action of primary
meetings, but, as has repeatedly been
said before, the fault is not in the sys-
tenn of caucus meetings, but in the in
difference of the people themselves.
The Independent enquiries: Why isn't
it possible to have caucuses held
throughout the district in the name of
the people without distinction of party,
and final convention that shall nomi-
nate man to be supported without
opposition, except such as may natural
ly arise from independent candi-
dates?"
The above method would be much
preferable to leaving the selection of a
candidate to manipulators who button
hole the voters in the various towns.

Considerable space is given in the
TELEGRAPH this week to the letter of
our Bristol correspondent, who gives
an intelligent account of the Farmers
meeting, held in the Paris and Bristol
church, on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week. 1t is possible many city
readers may take no special interest
in the matters discussed in the meet
Ing, but those engaged in the business
of farming will not fail to be interest
ed and instructed.

The illustrations are graphic in char

tents of a high order of merit. The
Referee discourses on sporting mat
tiers with authority. The dramatic
world is reviewed with snap and
vigor by an "Insider." who evidently
has right to the name. And the
Prowler recites the current sensations

Wheat is coming ont beyond ex-
pectations and the farmers are now
expecting at least half crop. The
rainy weather has set corn planting
back; there is no one in this section
that has finished planting. Tobacco
plants are very small for the time of
year, and the old complaint of the fly
at work upon them; the farmers con-
tend that the crop will have to be
planted late. The prizing of the old
crop is nearly completed; there are a
few good crops that were sent off.
Gardens are looking well but late |;
peas, onions and potatoes have all
come up well.
Fowls of all descriptions are doing
well and eggs are cheap, hen eggs
worth from 6h to So cents per dozen,
turkey eggs so cents, and goose eggs
I6 to 20 cents per dozen.
The people here have been scared
up very much about the smallpox,
and there is very little visiting going
on out of the neighborood. Walter
Shaw,.a son of Mr.. George Shaw has
been quite sick from vaccination.
There are others who have also been
made very sick from vaccination, no
doubt from the use Of indifferent
virus. There are some who will not
suffer themselves to be vaccinated,
like the drunken man at the hotel
when he was told that the house was
on fire, put his hand on the wall and
found it cold, turned over and went
to sleep saying he would wait until
it got little hotter, they are waiting
until it gets nearer by.
Mr.. Editor are the mice very pad
in your section, if SO send to Fairview
and borrow Mr.. Tom Shaw's mo user,
he has one that caught and eat TWEEN
ty-seven grown mice one day
while he was measuring up some
wheat to go to mill and he then left
her sitting on the corn pile watching
for more.
There is a great deal of sickness in
the neighborhood at this time. Mrs.
Jim Forbes, Mrs. Matt Carpenter and
Mrs. Jim West all are quite sick, also
Mrs. White an old lady ninety years
old is not expected to live.
Mr.. venable Carpenter wears a

set of marbles, which the owner can
obtain by correctly describing them
and paying for advertisement of
same. This severe loss should be q
solemn warning to our sporting char
acters to be more careful with their

misfortune if our young men should
lose all of their marbles and thereby
be prevented from engaging in the
delectable game.
Fraser Williams, the little boy
who recently got grain of corn in
his windpipe, was taken to Louisville
about week ago, by his parents,

Camille gladly extends to Louise
the correspondent from Bennetts
town, a most cordial welcome and
hopes that she may favor us with
many more interesting contributions
from her facile pen. The Kentuckian
should have a correspondent at every

has now opened it is to be hoped that
the contributors will awake from
their lethargy and let us hear from
them frequently.
Some of our merchants recently re-
turned from the East, and will soon
open up stock of choice spring and
summer goods.
Trade is becoming somewhat better
now and our business men wear
more cheerful countenance in conse-
