KENOSHA PEOPLE IN CALL.
FORNIA.

There are at the present time more
Kenosha city and county people in
California, who are there as visitors
and explorers of the country, than have
been during any former winter season.
What is true of Kenosha in this re-
spect is probably SO of many other
towns in the state. 1t seems the re-
ports of wintry frosts in California
have not deferred some of our citizens
from making purchases of real estate.
with the intention Of possible occu-
pancy at some future time. Among
the latest purchases of this kind is one
by U. J. Lewis, cashier of Head i Co. g
bank. Mr.. Lewis, who had been much
out of health for considerable time. re-
ports his health never better than now.
Whether his purchase of real estate in.
dicates change of residence, there ia no
authority to state, nor can it be said of
others from this city who have become
owners of landed property. The cold
weather the present winter naturally
inclines people to a milder climate.
Our infor nation as to the number of
people from this vicinity who are So
iourning in Florida, for like purposes
as those in California, is limited.
Which is the better climate is left to
those who have had experience to- de.
eide. 4

SOMERs.

February, ere it left, gave us an.
other period of below zero weather,
last week. What March will do for us
lies in the unknown future.
Reports from the far West said
winters back was broken" but
enough is left to admonish us that it is
too soon as yet to start gardening. Hot
beds may be in order.
The cold snap sharpened up the ap-
petites of stock. and some are buying
hay; others ground feed. Mr.. j. W.
Rhodes purchased car load of Iowa
hay, and was hauling it home the fore
part of this week. 1t is said to cost
delivered at the station ten dollars per
ton.
Wheels had to be resorted TO last
week, but runners are used here in the
country again.
The school in the Ozsnne district
had to be closed for while on account
Of the teacher, Mr.. Morris Sabin, being
attacked with the measles. His BROTH
or Eugene left for home after finishing
his term in the Bowker district the
fore part of last week, on the suppose
ti0n that he might have the measles.
The exhibition of his school was post
p0ned to future time.
Quite a number of Somers teachers
attended the meeting at Pleasant
Prairie.
Mr.. Thompson, father of station
agent Thompson, of Fremont, Nebras-
ka, Was here on visit to his son and
family.

LECTURE FOR THE HIGH
SCHOOL.

The scholars in the High School,
with commendable enterprise, secured
the services of Prof. Bernard Bigby,
Fellow Of Oxford, England, to give a
lecture in the High School loom on
Friday afternoon last. The Prof. is
well posted in relation to the schools
in England. His lecture was chiefly
descriptive of some Of the high schools
in that country. Besides the members
of the High School. a considerable
number of visitors were present. The
Prot. began his lecture by inviting his
youthful auditors to accompany him
in Imagination on voyage across the
Atlantic, and make tour to the old
seats of learning and places of historic
interest. There are but few High
Schools in England of the grade he
described. and these are above the gen
eral grade in this country. He gave
an amusing picture of the important
and self-consequential demeanor Of
the principals having the schools in
charge. The Prof. thinks the manage
ment and government of the school:
in this country is superior to that ir
the English schools. The lecture was
much enjoyed by the scholars, and wa'
instructive. Prof. Bigby is in thi!
country on lecturing tour.

SPRING ELECTIONS.

Probably majority of the incorpor-
ated cities in this state are already
agitating the matter of the coming
spring elections. So far as at present
indicated, party will not be strictly ad-
hered to in the municipal elections.
1t appears to be generally felt that the
best men are needed for the interests
of the cities. Republicans, where in
the majority, are not sure of electing a
full ticket of their best men, for the
reason that party lines cannot be relied
on in the municipal elections. The
same is true of the Democrats. Dur.
ing the first twenty-five years after the
organization of the city government Of
Kenosha nominations for city officers
were always made in reference to
party. In later years party lines in
spring elections have been less oh.
served. Without saying things In dis
paragement of our present city govern
ment, it is no doubt the desire of the
business men and the taxpayers who
are interested in the prosperity of the
city that judicious selection OF city
officers should be made. The third of
April. when the election occurs, will
soon be here.

RANDALL.

The taxes are all in at last, and our
treasurer, Christian Rasch, has return
ed the tax roll to the County Treasurer.
There was some trouble, but by wise
forbearance it was got along with with
out costs being made.
There is plenty of snow here yet, and
the long run of sleighing still con-
tinues. Those who have been around
say that there seems to be more snow
here than anywhere else.
Lonnie Robertson, who is teaching
school in Nebraska, got caught in a
blizzard, and he stayed with his schol-
ars in the school house all night.
If the citizens of Kenosha, who so
magnificently entertained their country
cousins during the Institute, could
have heard their praises rung by the
said country cousins, when they re.
turned home, they would have felt
themselves amply rewarded for all
their trouble. We have heard the con-
duct of the Institute criticised, but of
the management of the entertainment
by the city we have heard nothing but
the highest praise. To sum all up, the
opinion seems to be that the Institute
was good, but might he improved; but
the provision made by the city for the
entertainment of its guests was simply
perfect, and reflects credit upon all con.
nected with it in any way.

A statement, it is said, will appear
In the March number of the Forum
showing the amount of space given in
the leading papers.publisled in New
York, Boston. Philadelphia, Chicago
Cincinnati and st. Louis to the follow.
ing subjects: Religious news. literature,
sporting, crime and prize fighting.
From the average space given to each
of the subjects for fixed period of
time, will be seen the order in which
each is furnished TO the newspaper
readers. 1t might surprise some peo-
pie that, between religion and prize
fights, the latter will show the largest
share of attention. Prize fights few
years ago were seldom noticed in the
papers. but lately the public taste APP
pears to crave that sort of reading; il
it were not so, it would not find its
way into the newspapers. A curious
observer remarks that when a long
narration of pugilistic fight is seen in
a paper paragraph of religious news
Is sometimes noticed in another COL
umn. This is to pacify readers who
are displeased to see accounts of pum-
melting and bruising matches in the
paper. The question, what people like
to read. will be answered by noticing
the current topics, which take the lead
in making up the original matter in
the papers.

DEPENDENT CHILDREN-IM
PORTANT LAWS-LECTURE
BY A. HIGHLAND.

Mr.. A. Hogeland, who has beer
lecturing extensively in the different
cities in behalf of dependent children
addressed union meeting of the
Methodist, Congregational and Bap
fists, in the church of the latter, on
Sunday evening last. The school for
the class of children in whose interest
Mr.. Hogeland spoke is at Sparta, in
this state, and was established by act
of the legislature in 1885. 1t has &C.
complished vast amount OF good.
Judge Van Wyck was present at the
meeting on Sunday evening. and stated
the law regulating that truly worthy
institution. Three dependent children
have been sent from the town Of
Salem, in this county, to Sparta, where
they are now enjoying pleasant home.
We had intended giving the provisions
of law this week relating to the school
at Sparta. and did not have the time,
5but will do it hereafter, as it is phil
anthropic institution which does credit
to the state. Judge Van Wyck also
called attention to an important
statute enacted in 1887, which provides
for the removal of children from the
custody of their parents in certain
cases. This law 10 in the interest Of
humanity. Many OF our citizens seem
not to have been aware Of its being
found in the enactments Of the last
legislature. Its provisions need to be
understood, and summary Of them
will be given hereafter.

TEMPERANCE.

Several weeks ago it was mentioned
that committee of Republicans, tenn.
perance friends, of national reputation.
had been chosen to bring the subject
of temperance prominently before the
people, the name of the committee be.
ing "The Anti-Saloon National Re-
publican Committee" This committee
will meet for action April Is and 10
next, in Washington city. The object
Of this organization is stated to be;
ITO assume and signalize the complete
withdrawal of the Republican party
from all completely with the saloon in
fanny, and to emphasize its positive
antagonism thereto" The names that
appear in this movement are well
known to the country.

TEACHERS MEETING

The following is report of the teach
ers' meeting for the eastern division
held at the schoolhouse in District No
z, Pleasant Prairie, Feb. 18th:
The meeting was called to order by
Supt. Middlecamp at 1890 A. NJ, the
following named teachers being present
Messrs. Crosby, Knapp, Tobin. Costello
Ozanne, Castle, Fowler and Sabin
Misses Cooke, Fink, Schaefer, Schofield
Crow, Kelly, Barter and Leach.
The exercises were opened by a few
mesitorious remarks from Supt. Middle
camp concerning the care that should
be exercised by teachers in regard to
the form, composition, spelling, ETC. Of
reports. applications and other com.
munications written by them, during
which the report of the meeting held al
the Brass Ball school house, Salem, was
highly commended.
The first topic on the program was
Mensuration, conducted by Supt. Mid.
dlecamp. Upon investigation, it was
found that a very small minority of the
teachers had classes that were working
in or apt to reach the subject of Men.
suration this term. The question was
brought up, Why is it that so many
pupils in the District school do not
reach this important and practical sub.
iect? The conclusion was drawn that
one great hindrance to the pupils pro-
gress is lack of thoroughness.
The subject of common fractions was
referred to as being subject over which
q great many scholars pass without a
clear comprehension of it. It was con-
coded by all that the best rule to be
guided by in this matter is to "make
haste slowly" and insure clear under

Mr.. Blaine has been further inter.
viewed in respect to his candidacy for
President. He persists in saying he
cannot be candidate. There are a
perplexiDg number of candidates sug.
gested, and instead of increasing them
1t is more gratifying they should he
diminished. The withdrawal of Blaine
from the list will be Il matter of regret
to many thousands of intelligent ctiz.
ems. One of our prominent members
in Congress from this state assumes to
voice the Republican sentiment of the
state by saying that next to Blaine
Sherman is the choice of Wisconsin.
This is only guessing. Senators and
Representatives are no better experts
at guessing than very many other peo-
pie. As every one has the right to
express an opinion, whether of any
value or not. we venture the opinion
that after Blaine, Robert T. Lincoln
would be the choice of the people of
Wisconsin.

BURIED IN SNOW.

ROME, Feb. 29.-Snowstorms of excep-
tional severity are prevailing in North
ern Italy, and the municipal authorities
of Turin have ordered the theaters,
schools and markets closed to prevent
accidents through falling masses of
snow. Several roofs have already col
lapsed, including that of a railway freight
depot. Several villages in the Alps have
been destroyed by avalanches and many
lives lost. Troops have been dispatched
to aid the sufferers. Many villages near
Memo and Lake Como are suffering from
lack of wood, and soldiers are cutting a
way through to relieve them. A Gus.
tom-house near Revere was destroyed
by an avalanche and three guards and
four other persons were killed. An
avalanche covered the village of Ste
pone, near Irerea, where thirty lives
were lost. Destructive avalanches are
also reported from Spain, eleven persons
having been killed in one place.

BLAIR EDUCATION BILL

The Blair education bill, which pass
ed the Senate, and now in danger Of
being strang;ed in the House. appro-
pirates $77,OOo,0Oo, to be expended in
eight yearly instruments, the money
t be divided among the several states
and territories in proportion to the
illiterate population in each state and
territory as shown by the United
States census of 1880 and afterwards
by the census of 1890. No distinction
to be made between cOlored and white.
If ignorance, as our wise statesmen
have long insisted, is the greatest dan
ger to our free institutions, then which
is the wisest measure for this govern
ment to avoid the danger? Will not
education and intelligence prove a
better safeguard against the dangers
of illiteracy than expenditures for
ships of war, and the implements of
destruction and death.

There are some mechanical indus.
tries in the city which, if they have
been noticed in the papers. have es-
capped our attention. The wholesale
furniture establishment of Kraus Bros.
& CO., in the large building formerly
occupied as the organ factory. on Wis
consin street, is doing quite large
business. This firm now employs
thirty-five hands, and would increase
this number if experienced workmen
could be obtained. The firm has been
unable to supply its orders, and is in
arrears in meeting the demand for the
articles it manufactures. They make
speciality of library furniture, such
as cylinder book cases. ladies' desks,
center tables, etc.

standing of every subject before leaving
it, and it IS the duty Of every teacher to
put this into practice.
Definitions of lines, surface, plane sur
face. area, angles, etc., were brought up
and discussed, the best methods Of
teaching these definitions forming an
important part of the discussion, par
ticular stress being laid upon the use Of
diagrams.
The subject of Mathematical Geogra-
ply. also conducted by Supt. Middle
camp, was interesting and instructive.
With the help Of the necessary appar-
atus that he took the trouble to procure,
he explained the relative sizes and dis
tances of the planets, the earth's orbit,
eclipses, velocity of light and other
topics relating to the planetary system,
which we're discussed by the teachers.
The meeting then adjourned for re-
freshments.
The afternoon session was called TO
order ct 1:20 o'clock.
Supt. Middlecamp called on the teach
ers for memory gems" and nearly
every teacher gave one. If they were
memory gems in reality, and were Sc
lected from number of such quotations
stored away in the mind, the exercise
was creditable one.
Then followed class exercise in mu.
sic by Mr.. Knapp, which not only showed
the good progress of his pupils in this
line, but a thorough mastery of what
ground they had covered. He afterward
conducted a general exercise with the
teachers as class, showing his method
of teaching the subject. It is simple and
efficient, and Mr.. Knapp deserves credit
for the interest he takes in the work.
| Mrs. Bradford being necessarily alb
sent, the exercise in grammar was
omitted, and Prof. Leach, of Kenosha
High School, took charge of an exercise
in physiology on digestion. The exer.
else was characterized by considerable
classroom work, and quite number Of
the teachers were soon brought to a
knowledge of the fact that they "did
not know their lesson" Prof. Leach
advised the use of charts in teaching
physiology, and strongly advocated the
practice of drawing figures to illustrate
the different organs Of the body, the
work to be done by the pupils.
A short recess was then taken, aftel
which came miscellaneous business.
The examination of pupils in the
upper form for diplomacy will probably
take place at spring examinations, which
will be duly advertised.
| Supt. Middlecamp informed the teach
ers that the money in the treasury o
the old Teachers Association had beer
received, and would be spent in the pur
chase of books that will be left at some
convenient place where the teachers car
avail themselves of the opportunity t.
procure good reading matter pertaining
to their vocation.
| The meeting then adjourned.
