Sfodel Farmers.

Nearly every section has what
might properly be styled "a few
model farmers. At least they are
such comparatively speaking -
Their farms, their houses and sur
roundings are far above the aver
age III every respect. These far
mers show a degree Of thrift and
frugality too that is above the ay-
erage. They are on time with their
work, they get the top prices for
their produce, they live better and
nicer than their -neighbors, and
generally are respected more aud
held in higher esteem than an,
other set of men in their commnni
ty. They are held up as examples
for young men just starting out in
life, and as the title implies. are
good models to pattern after. Ii
asked for reason why some men
are leaders in theirline of business
IT would not be hard to give. First,
they study their business. They
go into tile details aud master
them thoroughly. They work with
their brains AS we'll as their hands
They systematic and economize.
They take time to read AMI post
themselves, and in this way set
the advantage of others expert
ence. They keep up with the tlales
in every way and by doing their
duty in the way that common sense
and good Judgment dictate they
clearly earn the title Of modeltarm-
GA, ard should enjoy the Tsspect
That Such a title commands.-Na-

thing passed off harmoniously. The
committee on resolutions reported a
series of resolutions demanding the di-
vision of the territory on the 46th par

kots to statehood, and denouncing civil
service reform in Dakota as thorough
bred fraud. The report was passed by
an overwhelming vote.
Ten delegates were then elected to

Plenty of Room for it Gut Here.

An increase Of $4,O0O,OoO in the re-
serves of the New York banks in q single
week, such as was made in that just
ended, is a very raro occurrence. Much
of this is undoubtedly due to the bond
purchases by the government, which
have released a large amount of money
from the treasury vaults within the past
three weeks, and made it available for
use in the ordinary transactions of trade.
The $22, 100000 surplus which the New
York banks now have, which surplus has
been steadily increasing for several
weeks past, makes it evident that money
for legitimate purposes, on fair security,
will continue to be cheap this season.

ROBERTS. In Deadwood, on either Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning, May Is OF 16
1898, James Roberts, aged about 80 years, OF
chronic alcoholism.
This is one OF the saddest deaths il
has ever been CUE lot to chronicle. Mr.
Roberts, or Jim, as he was known to all
old Hills residents, was a man of fine
education and was what is called we'll
read man. He was frst-class book
keeper and expert accountant, and could
have filled any position with credit and
honor. But he, ikethousands of others,
had formed a liking for whisky, and as a
consequence stability, business capacity,
manhood everything that makes the
man-were swept away through this ter
rible appetite for strong drink. He was
picked up on the streets of Deadwood
insensible, carried by the officers to the
jail and placed in cell. In the morn
ing early when the jailer made his
rounds he found poor Jim lying white
and cold in death. What his end was,
no human being knows. Suffice it to
say, that out Of this cold, heartless world,
while the kindly darkness covered as
with a mantle the deeds of good and
evil alike, the long Imprisoned soul es-
capped from its poor, besotted, poisoned
teaement, and few back to the God who
gave it. Let the cloak Of Christian charity
be drawn over him and his awful end,
and let us only remember his good deeds
forgetting his Ill, hoping that he, after
bufeting the cold waves of adversity fol
SO many years, has been taken into the
haven, "where the wicked cease from
troubling, and the weary are at rest
Peace to his ashes.

HorrihlaI

Congressman Foran, the other day, in
speech analysed the .taxed blanket
free whisky" cry which has been ring
ing through the house in varied tones
since the tariff debate begun. He found
that the entire reduction in tariff duties
proposed by the Mills bill, according to
its own estimate, would only amount to
$17, ,720,635, or about twenty nine cents
per capita. Twenty cents is the
monstrous sum which this ''cruel and
merciless tax" wrenches from each mar
every year. News.

5000, ,Ooo, 900 in 1890.

Think Of it. In 1879 the total as
sessed valuation of property in Dakota
was $16,267,O96. In 1887 it was $157,
054 4,365-an increase in. eight years OF
$140,817,269. Can any other territory
or state make as good a showing? Who
will say that this is not good country
for the young men of the overcrowded
east? And great as the increase has
been, it will be even greater for the
eight years to come.

enact strict laws for the governing of
the saloon men, and attach severe penal
ties if they are oyerstepped, but the
drunkard is allowed to do just about as
he pleases regardless of everyone and
everything. Enact laws that would
place an equal share OF responsibility
upon the drunkard as well as the saloon
man and give the saloon man some slight
protection and the world will have less
drunkenness in it than now, where the
saloon man has all the responsibility

The State reachers' Association.


For the second time in the history
of the Wisconsin Teachers Associa-
ton, this body chose to accommodate
the teachers of Northern Wisconsin
by holding its annual session in Eau
Claire. About 200 teachers from all
parts of the state availed themselves
of the rare opportunity for profession
al Improvement. Prominent among
those TO whom parts had been assign
ed on the program may be mentioned
Pres. I. G. Chamberlin, l.. l.. d.. and

All speakers-teachers or not-had
Two things to impress on the audi
ence: First, the glaring fact that our
present school system is defective,
and second, ways and means to bring
it to it, normal condition.
The first session was held at the
opera hall July Sd. Mayor Shaw, of
Eau Claire, and Pres. Chamberlin, of
the State University, were the speak
ers of the evening. In spite of the
usual 4th of July celebrations the at
tendance during the day at the court
house and in the evening at opera hall
was good. This is perhaps partly due
to the fact that the exercises were APP
propriate to the occasion, as may be
seen from these titles of papers read:
''The Study Of Local History" what
can the School do to Cultivate Patriot
ism?' and the subject, 1.-The School
master and the State" on which Hon.
Jos. V. Quarles delivered an Grafton
in the evening. Many called it the
best celebration they ever had and
yet the professional feature was never
lost to sight.
The court room was again filled
July 5th.
The River Falls Normal was well
represented both in number and abili-
ty. About 40 of those in attendance
were at one time identified with it.
The fact, that Pres. Parker, Profs.
Paine and Ewing and Addie Neff, Supt.
of Clark Co., took an active part in
the deliberations justiies me in max
ing the remark as to the ability of our
representatives.
l would not be carrying out the
prime wish of my associates if | re-
Trained from mentioning fact apart
from the associations doings. The
evening of July 4th Pres. Parker kind.
ly invited This boys and girls to
sumptuous banquet at the w. G. L. U.
headquarters. Thirty-six Normalites
responded to the invitation. After
refreshments resolutions of thanks
were voted to the w. c. 7. U. and
Pres. Parker. We felt that we only
feebly repaid him for his kindness,
and still more feebly expressed our
own feelings, which finally broke
forth in "Hurrah for Pres. Parkerl"
and "Long live Pres. Parker!" May
he live long to exercise his potent and
beneficient influence on many as he
has done in the past, was the sincere
wish of all present. f.
