IOWA COUNTY NEWS.
ARENA.

The inter-county Teachers Meeting
held at Spring Green on the 10Th inst.
was well attended Miss Alice Ham
ilton and your correspondent and Mr..
Francis who teaches at Dover, were in
attendance from Arena. Superinten-
dents E. C. Wiswall, of Sank County,
and J. W. Burns. of Richland, were in
attendance. but B. W Gillett was
called to Madison on account of sick
ness of his brother. 1t was estimated
that forty-five or fifty teachers were
present besides a score or so of others,
interested in education. The writer
discussed the subject of Waste in FL
ementary Schools" While at 1.-The
Green we enjoyed the hospitality of
J. /. Beardsly and family, also of Mr..
and Mrs Orrin Beardsley, and spent
the evening at Prof. Terry's. All were
quite well, prosperous and happy as
the readers of The Democrat will be
glad to hear.
Prof. Terry and family expect to
move on to their farm near Madison
in the early spring.
The Spring Green Library Associ-
alton met in the evening and elected
corps of officers whose terms expire

300 volumes in their library. Mr.. p.

kota this week, starting Tuesday
morning.
Miss Elsie Meigs, daughter Of Byron
n. Meigs, we rejoice to report, is now
conyalescent. She has been danger
ouslv i'll for several weeks with diph-
liberia, and as late as last Friday, there
was little hopes Of her recovery; but
she is now steadily improving. Mr..
Meigs' family have had the sympathy
Of hosts of friends in their late be
reavement and affection, who viii re-
ioice to hear the news Of restored
health.
The Sunday school at Dover under
the fostering care of the Congregation
al church of this place is doing quite
well, with an attendance of forty or
fifty Some members go from here
nearly every Lords day to help it along.
B. n. Meig5 preached last Lords day
on the text, "Proye all things, hold
fast that which is good" His sermon
was forcible- just such as is needed to
lift people out of old ruts and cause
them to think and reason for them
selves. Search the scriptures carefully
and prayerfully for the truth. $. II. 5.

Do not want Dairy Commissioner.

The Plymouth Reporter.
The action of the farmers at the
meeting in this city, last week, in re-
pudiating the necessity and usefulness
Of a Dairy Commissioner, which it is
proposed to create, is indeed signif-
icant. Sheyboygan county is the ban
ner dairy county in the state, and here
if anywhere the necessity for a Dairy
Commissioner would naturally be
soonest and most felt, but here instead
at a representative assemblage of
farmers, gathered for other purposes
and irrespective of politics, the office is
denounced as unnecessary and wholly
impracticabIe, and the Legislature was
memoralized accordingly. The action
Of the farmers is most creditable and
gave evidence of a most commendable
unselfishness in public affairs, the
more conspicuous for its rarity in these
times Of special demands for class
privileges The average Sheboygan
county farmer feels greater need for
lower taxes than for more high salaried
state officials, even when it comes to a
Dairy Commissioner.

Ayers Almanac for 1889, published
by DR.. ], c. Aver & Co, Lowell, Mass,
comes to us in the shape of a neat
presentation book of about five hun
bred pages, being made up Of numer-
Gus editions calculated for the ATTITUDES
of many lands. \ score or more of
nationalities are addressed in their
own languages in this volume, and
could they all be heard clamoring to-
gether for Ayers >arsaparilIa and
Ayers Pills what a babel would break
forth! Ayers Almanac, in its famiI-
lar yellow cover, has long been known
as the most accurate and reliable Of its
kind; and if any one Is ignorant Of the
superior merits Of Ayers medicines,
and suffers in consequence, it is not
the fault Of this enterprising firm, who
scatter their leaves" by the million,
" for the healing Of the nations" Ask
your druggist for Ayers Almanac.

Members Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union are at Madison
working vigorously for the enactment
Of more stringent laws for the punish
nent Of procurers and the keepers of
the houses Of i'll fame. TO show the
very pressing need Of proposed Iegisla-

the legislature and stated the results of
recent investigations OF the dives Of
northern Wisconsin. Among other
things she charged dcrclection Of duty
upon the part Of state and county Off
cials, and thus tread on the toes Of

who on behalf Of the state sometime
ago investigated and reported upon the
condition Of the stockaded dens The
conflict upon this point has waxcd
warm, and the arrest Of Fielding upon
the charge of using abusive and insult

cngendered will not prevent the pas

Is the reason people will not, can not,

rather than take a medicine of world

be few or no delinquent taxes under
a properly drawn law, and hence no
excessive fees or charges. 1t is an
appeal to the common sense and inter

system cannot be held party measure,

Cough! and Cough!! and Cough!!!

Every y ind-hearted man who oWnsa
horse will provide his animal with q
horse blanket both for stable wear and
out door use. This is not matter of
kindness alone but really saves money.
First because a horse which is well
blanketed will keep in better condition
and in the spring will be in better
Shape for work than an nbIanketed
horse, which must spend a great deal
of his vitality to keep warm. Again,
a horse which is not bIanketed must
eat more to keep warm than a blank
eted horse, and the saving in feed
alone would probably pay for several
blankets. In no fabric can a person
be deceived more than in horse
blanket, as poor blankets which will
last only few weeks are made, which
look and feel as well as a strong
blanket which will last several seasons
The "a horse blanket manufacturers
who are advertising in our columns
make a speciality of strong horse
blankets, and put their "a trade mark
on each blanket; so buyers when pur-
chasing can tell strong blanket by
looking for the "a trade mark.

Why the Sioux Indians Were Afraid or
 Peaceful Prof Hayden.

Prof. F, Y. Hayden was the founder of the system which developed into the geological survey of the United States He was a man of great genius and renowned scholar, but cratic and peculiar It was not uncommon for strangers to follow him several blocks, their attention arrested by his bowed figure as he almost ran for few steps, then suddenly stopped with his gray eyes fixed on the pavement, then ran again as if a sudden thought had struck him; then they would inquire: Who can that poor insane man be?a
 While Prof. Hayden was exploring the land of the Sioux Indians some years ago he once. in his enthusiastic passion for geological research, wan dered away from his party; he had loaded himself down with large speci- mens of mineral, and while tramping slowly along in his absent-minded way the Indians captured him. They whooped and yelled at their prize at first, but upon seeing all the "rocks and worthless stones which the poor man was staggering under, and his composed. abstracted manner, they decided that he was afflicted with q foolish mind They took him wth- out protest on his part, which only confirmed their fears and after few hours captivity the old scientist, with his rocks was led to the nearest point of civilization and turned loose,n lest the Great Spirit should punish them for any "harm done the foolish or simple minded
 He was daring, fearless and reck- less in danger, q most distinguished scientific man, and much beloved by the young men of his survey. His death during the last year was greatly mourned. Pittsburgh Dispatch
