cheap imitation of DR.. Kings New Dis

Colds, but be sure you get the genuine.
Because he can make mora profit he
may tell you ne has something Just as
good, or just the same. Don be de

The Sugar Trust,

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Investiga-
ton into the sugar trust was resumed
by the House committee on manu-
features this morning.
Parsons, attorney for the trust, was
again placed on the stand. Represent
atiYe Hopkins asked whether the
price OF sugar had been increased by
the creation of the trust, and witness
answered that in his opinion it had not
The stock of the re6neries purchased
by the members of the board since the
formation of the trust had been &C
quired by transfer from large number
of the stockholders, but all had been
purchased at one transaction.
Chairman Bacon called witness at
| tention to the decision announced by
the committee, yesterday, that it would
insist upon the amount of certifca
| which each company which entered
into the trust had given.
Parsons explained that he had no
authority to furnish the desired in
| formation. While it Is the desire of all
parties to furnish any information
which bears upon legislation, there are
large private interests which might be
hurt by inquiry into matters purely
private.
The committee finally decided not to
press the question for the present.
Witness repeated the statement made
before the New York investigating com
mlttee, that it was his belief that the
aggregate of capital and the concentra-
ton of business would cheaper sugar
give fair profits to the manufacturer
and higher wages to the laborer. He
did not think this aggregation of wealth
tended to increase prices or create an
oppressive monopoly.
John w. Dorothy, of the New York
Commercial Bulletin testifei that both
raw and refined sugars had advanced
since the organization of the trust.
F. B. Thurber. OF New York. said the
sugar business had for some time, not
been profitable, and he looked upon the
present organization as not unnatural
reaction. He did not think the effect
Of the combination had been extreme
thus far.

Sir ISAAC NEWTON although the dis
coverer, or rather the first observer, of
the spect um, failed to procure any
practical results from his observation
owing to the manner in which he al
lowed the rays of the sun to enter his
darkened room, which was by means of
a round hole in the shutter of the win
dow. This method prevented his recog-
milton of the SUB lines. which have in
modern times become the means OF the
most marvellous discoveries. To-day.
instead OF the round hole, narrow
slit is made use of for the transmission
of the light Of the sun, which prevents
the overlapping of the rays, with the re-
suit of producing q clear, we'll defined
spectrum, of which the dark sun-lines
are distinctly visible.

Inter-County Teachers Meeting

One of the most interesting gather
ingS which it has been our privilege to
attend for some time was the Inter-
County Teachers Meeting held at Mus
coda, Jan. 21st,. A most cordial welcome
was given TO all visiting teachers by
Prof. c. r. Pickering of Muscoda High
School and Prof. II. w. Dietrich, Of
the Grammar Department. Although
the morning was one of coolest, quite a
goodlY number of teachers rode loRg
distances to be able to enjoy the pleas
ures and advantages which usually a.
bound at such meeting. Attendance 81
The exercises were conducted by Mr..
Chas. L. Harper. Supt. of Schools of
Grant Co. who was ably assisted by B.
w. Gillett, Supt of Iowa Co., and A.
H. Long. Supt. of Richland Co.
The first on the program was an essay
on"Teaching intermediate Geography"
prepared and read by Miss Nettie Clark
of Boscobel, teaeherin the Intermediate
Dept. of Muscoda schools. This essay
was well written and most charmingly
delivered. The young lady shows great
power in the matter of classifying the
various points of q subject, and con-
siderable promise is shown in her ability
to handle such a subject intelligently.
Next followed a paper on Chow to
teach Primary Reading" by Miss En-
ma Basch, Primary teacher in Muscoda
schools. Miss Basch furnished some
very excellent methods for this work
which is really one of the most difficult
tasks that confront every teacher and
her ideas showed that she fully UNDER
stands her work. Discussion on each
of the foregoing subjects consumed the
time until noon when all dispe rsed for
some refreshment before taking up the
subjects yet unspoken of.
At 1:15 P NJ all those interested in the
cause of education met at the High
School Room and the remaining subjects
of the program were discussed. Mr.. j.
w. Burns of Sextonville gave very
able discourse on "How laws are made
in the United States and in Wisconsin. -
One IS expected to gain a very fair idea
of this subject from the study of our U.
S. & State Constitutions, but we venture
to say that the subject was made doubly
plain by Mr.. Burns remarks
professional Training for Teachers"
was next taken up by ProfD j. Murphy
Prin. of Highland Schools. Their sub
jects met with approval and high praise
of the entire assembly. II was well
written and delivered in so pleasing =
manner as to rivet the most rapt at
tention. Geo. p. Morton of Boaz took

Ia his annual report, the Supsrintend-
ent of Public Instruction in New York
forcibly urges the Importance of reduc-
ing the number of studies in the public
schools. More than 80 per cent of the
children of this country neverget beyond
the elementary branches of education,
he points out, and the result is that they
obtain only smattering of knowledge
upon variety of subjects when they
ought to be thoroughly instructed upon
the few which are of practical interest
and usefulness. In other words. the
constant tendency toward the introduce
ton of new studies is not proof of pro-
gress, but an indication of waste and
confusion; and thus our schools fail to
yield satisfactory returns by reason of
