There are various methods of pre-
pairing bees for winter so that no sub
sequent care is needed One is TO place
The hives above the snow line, packing
them in chaif, leaves, sawdust or fine
hay with rim two inches wide under
each hive. When prepared in this
manner the entrance cannot be cloggcd
by snow or dead bees. Should a warm
day occur, the bees can enjoy a flight;
Another method is to bury bees in pit
or damp where, of course, no at
tention can be given. Bees stored in
a properly arranged cellar or repository
require no attention except 10 see that
they are undisturbed by rats or mice,
and that the temperature and yenlila-
ton are correct. An effective way of
getting rid of mice or rats in cellar is
to poison them with equal parts Of
arsenic. flour and sugar. The temper
ature should be kept at about forty-fiye
degrees during the early part OF the
winter. After the bees have COM
menccd brood-rearing, say in February,
higher temperature is beneficial, and
it may be gradually raised to about
fifty-fiYe degrees. Authorities differ
in regard to ventilation; but pure air
in the cellar can do no harm, and there
is no better method IF supplying il than
through tiles laid below The frost line.
An abundance of stores should he
lift in the hive, rs it would probably be
better TO allow few colonies TO starvD
than to disturb all tie hives by examin-
ing them to learn if any need feeding.
Should il be discovered, however, that
a colony is short Of stores, and there
are no combs to give it, candy made Of
granulated sugar may be fed.
Hives, rs usually prcparedfo for winter,
arc often partially covered with snow.
This docs no harm, but may be bene-
fetal, until warm day comes and the
bees wish 10 fly, when the snow must
be shoveed away from the entrance, or
The cover removed, and the bees ho
allowed to take their purifying flight
from the top of the hive. Hives stand
in the open air should be protected
against the intrusion Of mice. Have
the entrance only one-fourth Of an inch
high and protected with tin. Skuuks
sometimes scratch at tho entrance OF Il
hive; the bees come ont to learn the
cause Of the disturbance, and are
caught A box trap set for the skunk
is the best preventive. The animal
never discharges its weapon while in n
box trap.
When bees are buried in q pit, a sandy
hillside should be selected as the site,
and tile drain put underneath. When
these precautions haze been neglected
care should be taken that no water
stands upon the surface around the pit

Of free government, are held by the

than the soldiers whe went from Wis
consin
The Sentinel fully approves Of the
idea Of erecting such memorial. IL
would suggest, however, whether it
would not be we'll 10 consider the pro-
prietY Of giving il some ether form than
that Of a mere monument. Pyramids
and obelisks and monumental shafts
were first devised in the ages when
historic records were unknown. They
were designed to commemorate men or
events that without them were likely to
be forgotten. They have been con
tinued by the force of custom. But IN
building to commemorate and honor our
soldiers, can we not contriye to give the
memorial some form which will be
equally or more efficacious TO that end
and ut the same time serve useful and
noble purposes, making it thus doubly
worthy?
Why not for example. instead Of rear
ing towering shaft of granite, con-
struct memorial building dedicated
to the heroes of the war, and make il
the home of the State Historical Society ?
That society has now the largest and
most valuable collection of books and
manuscripts west of the Alleghenies.
Its collections are in the state capitol, a
building not as secure against fire as il
should be, and where its quarters are
already too narrow Suppose it were
decided 10 adopt this suggestion. The
building erected should be iire-proof, Of
honest, solid workmanship throughout.
1t should be of simple and noble style
of architecture. Its facade should bear
q proper inscription significant Of its
origin. The first floor might be de
voted to a hall with walls decorated,
like the entrance hall of the Memorial
building at Harvard, with Inscriptions
in memory of the gallant men who died
under the flag of their country in its
defense. Here too, portraits of men
like Washburn, Heg, Paine, Haskell,
Fairchild, Rusk, Allen, Cob, Bragg,
Hobart, and other distinguished soldiers
might DO placed These doubtless
would, for the most part, be contributed
by friends. In this building would be
deposited and conserved the old battle
flags. the official records Of the war,
and all the souvenirs available associ-
ated with Wisconsin's part in it; while
the upper floors would be occupied with
the collections OF the State Historical
Society. What more appropriate mon
umcnt could be erected than such q
one?
Doubtless building Of this kind
would cost more than the conventional
monument. But what Of thate Would
it not be more worthy memorial? Is
not the state amply able to build it?
In all probability the war tax paid to
the general government will be re-
funded to tho state. II amounts to
nearly $500, 1000 Would il not be an ap-
propriate use TO make, say Of $500, 000
of that sum, to expend it upon this
memorial buildinge This suggestion is
thrown out for consideration and dis
cussion. The Sentinel will be glad to
receive expressions Of opinion respect
inc it.

A KANSAS COUNTY-sEAT WAR.
Two Hundred Men Appear at Walnut City
and Carry the Records to Lacrosse.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 13-It has just been
learned that the Rush county-seat war broke
out again on Saturday last. and has assumed a
most serious aspect. In defiance of the most
positive mandate of the Supreme Court. the
people of Lacrosse have again taken forcble
possession of the county records and removed
them from Walnut City. About 5
o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday
ffty-fve teams and about two hun
dred men, among them being all the county
officers, except the superintendent OF schools
and the Board of County Commissioners,
tered the town of Walnut City unheralded. aud
driving up to the building occupied by the coun-
ty officials, proceeded to load the records, safes
and all the Office fixtures and paraphernaliainto
the wagons. The crowd was boisterous and
demonstrative. A number of guns and count
less number of revolvers were displayed, and
the mob declared it's intention of laying tue
town of Walnut City in ashes if any re-
sistance was offered. No resistance was Of
fered. however, and after two hoursI the
records were all loaded into wagons and carried
away When the mob reached the city limits,
on their way back to Lacrosse, with the rec
ords, they fired a volley and awakened the
echoes with yells The ground on which the re-
moval of the records is made is an alternative
writ of mandamus issued bv Judge S. j. Os-
borne, of the District Court of Rush county,
obtained on the representation that an election
had been held the returns OF which had not been
canvassed, resulting in the cnoice OF Lacrosse
as the county-seat of Rush county. The result
of the alleged election, however, is disputed by
the Walnut City people. Chief-justice Horton
expressly stated, In his decision IN the recent
ease, that the county-seat should be located at
Walnut City, and there remain until the county
seat fight be definitely settlsd; and that any
further delays. subtsrfuges or interferences,
even the intervention of ~the courts, would be
deemed contempt and The offenders eummarily
dealt with. Representatives of Walnut City are
now hero for the purpose of Invoking the aid of
the Governor and the Supreme Court
