Taxes.
sugar dut

The Secretary of State has made
the apportionment of taxes by cOun-
ties to be collected in the state the
present year. AS our readers have
already been informed, there are no
taxes for the support of state govern
ment this year. which shows that the
financial interests Of the state have
been prudently managed. The taxes
are mostly for education; the amount
for the insane in hospitals and the
care of bad boys in the industrial
schools is quite large. The amount
for the insane and for bad boys is
not given separately. insanity is a
misfortune which it is the duty OF
the state to literally provide for; bad
boys are a nuisance anywhere, but
the state can do no less than to take
charge of them for the public pro-
lection. Boys who shun the schools
and wander about the streets are be-
ing fitted as candidates for the
places which the state furnishes for
bad boys, provided they do not find
Judgment in prison.
Amount of taxes levied on Keno
sha County for educational purposes,
$11,1S1.o5. For insane in hospitals
and for care of bad boys, $2,94o. 81.
There are seventy counties in the
state; of these counties Sc are in,
debted to the state for loans, in vari-
Gus sums. The largest indebted
ness from any county is Ashland
S28,s6t. Of the fourteen counties
which owe the state nothing fol
loans, Kenosha county is one.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has named
Thursday, Nov. 18th, as the day of
national thanksgiving and recon-
mends that those of those of us who
may shut up shop that day and give
thanks to God for numerous bless
ings. There are people who will say
that they have nothing to be thank
full for, but such persons can be set
down at once as chronic kickers.
Anybody who is not glad and thank
full to be alive in these glorious days
when no national political campaign
is on top ought to be made over. 1t
is true that some sections of the
country are little riled up over To-
cal politics, but we are thankful that
the disease is not widespread. Then
the people who have been at the sum-
mer resorts ought to be thankful that
there was no snow during the season
nothing worse than ordinary over
coat weather and no stove set up.
And the people who staid at home
ought to shout for JOY because they
did not go away to spend the sum-
mer. Just at this season of the year,
too, we can raise a pean because we
are between the two expressions of
els it hot enough for your and rs
this cold enough for your" There
are some things, of course, to be
said on the other side The servant
girl is still with us. But we are
thankful that we do not employ SER
want girls in our business. And our
wives can get away from them by
going to bed. Altogether it is glad
holiday season.

Sorghum Sugar.

The sugar II at Attica, Kan, has
produced thus far this season from
sorghum cane 10000 pounds of
pure crystalized sugar. The fact
being established that sugar of ex-
cellent quality can be manufactured
from sorghum the only remaining
problem to be solved is that of the
cost of production, or whether it can
be made a profitable industry at a
price competitive with the foreign
article.-Inter Ocean.
The first problem mentioned in
the above extract was solved long
ago; it was proven that marketable
sugar could be manufactured from
sorghum. But the second problem,
whether sugar from sorghum can be
produced in the United States in suf-
ficient amount to supply the want of
the country, has been undergoing
solution a good many years, and at
the rate of progress that has been
made, none of the generations now
living can hardly expect to live to see
the day when the production of
sorghum sugar here will supersede
the necessity of importation from the
tropics. The work of experiment
ing has been going on, not alone by
the enterprise of individuals and
companies, but under government
auspices; it has had fair testing,
Capital, science, experience and skill
have brought their aid, but the de.

The worlds fair is almost certain
to come to Chicago. Chicago has
raised a guarantee fund of $40, ooo,-
600 and New York has not yet
raised one tenth of that sum. New
York and Washington are basing
their claims on the strength of their
ability to get congress to appropriate
large sum to meet expenses. In
asmuch as Chicago will not ask
Congress to do anything in that res
peCt, there is reason to believe that
she will get the fair. The energy,
enterprise and public spirit that Chi
cage people have manifested in their
efforts to secure the worlds fair has
endeared the city to the whole
Northwest 1t is the only city of its
kind in the world. 1t contains to-
day more energetic, driving, pro-
gressive business men than any other
city in the world, if we except Lon
don.

Fast Horses.

The attention heretofore given to
fast horses in this quarter is likely to
have falling off, or at least there
will not be the annual tests of horse
speed as in past years. The driving
park at Milwaukee, which has for a
long time been under the auspices of
an association of gentlemen of that
city, have resolved to discontinue
patronage of. the races. 1t appears
that when the association was formed
it was believed the interest taken by
citizens in horses superior for speed,
would by admission fee to the race
course realize a sufficient fund to
keep the track in good condition and
pay something besides on the invest
ment. But it is stated in the Senh-
mel that the driving park has never
in any year paid expenses and has
proved burdensome to the associa-
ton; therefore the gentlemen hav-
ing control of the race grounds, at
the head of which is John L. Mitch
ell, one of Milwaukee's wealthiest
citizens, abandon it. That the as

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, cam
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

How ~ &C. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scroll
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22months
old till she became six years of age. Jumps
formed in her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

about 40 of the members of tie Asso-

literary program that has been pre-
scented by this organization.
The address of welcome was made
by ID. E. Cameron, Glass of $50, in
which he advocated that the aim of
the teacher should be to give the child
an education that will be of practical
value to him.
A vocal solo by Miss Nellie Farms

that they are greatly due to the inlu

Mrs. Lille Farnsworth Hubbell, class
of '85, demonstrated to us teachers
what can be done by concentrating
the attention upon one line of thought
Since her graduation she has given
some attention to oratory and the Sc
lection last evening was rendered in
| such way that we followed the
"racers" with as much reality as if we
had actually been present at the con
test.
Letters from several absent mem
bers were read and greatly enjoyed
all expressed their desire to be pre-
sent, but found it impossible to do so.
We were glad to hear that each il

A Great Privilege

Nothing is more inspiring and awak-
ening to the mind than to listen to the
talk of those who bring genius, deep
study, and long preparation to the dis
cussiOn of any subject. To see and
hear the foremost men and women of
the country in any department of
work is in itself an educating influence.
To leave our own pent.up neighbor-
hood and see what may be in the
world beyond. to pass through grand
and beautiful regions, to visit the his
tOric places of the country, and ex-
plore natures wonders, will broaden
and cultivate both mind and manners.
The National Educational Association
contains the foremost instructors of
the land; the city of Nashville, where
it meets July 8th to Goth, is rich in
patriotic memories; that great wonder
of nature, the Mammoth Cave, is on
the route. Very low rates will be
