HIGHER EDUCATION IN WISCONSIN.

The schools of Wisconsin are the pride
of the people and it is dull mind that
feels no glow at the reports of educa
tional progress. While the public and
parochial district and high schools are
doing the most important work of pre-
pairing the tens of thousands for intelli-
gent living, the higher institutions are
enlarging their powers for the increas-
ing number who are SO fortunate as to
aspire to fuller intellectual life and to
be able to reach their desire.
The people whose citizenship makes
this state what it is, are growing into
more sympathy with the efforts to make
of the University of Wisconsin an IN
stitution that shall not be inferior in any
essential respect to any similar institu
ton in the land. Every dollar spent on
that institution comes back ten-fold to
the people of the state. It is marvel
Gus thing that in a state less than fifty
years old, thousand miles from what
was the center of commercial industrial
and intellectual activity half a century
ago, there should be educational insti-
tutions of such high order as those of
Wisconsin and q public and free uni
versity Of such equipment as that at the
capitol. Its growing influence is felt in
every section of the state. An Eastern
gentleman, visiting remote and COM
paratively new county to look at lands,
was struck by the very unusual intelli-
gence of a young woman who was at
that moment engaged in feeding the
pigs. He learned from her proud father
that she was a graduate of the state
university, had taught school, and was
at home because she was a delight to
her people and through her own
thorough education had opened a new
world to them and to the neighborhood
The recent exhibition of enthusiasm
for our higher institutions of learning is
most exh1larating. Judge Noyes has
| noted the generosity with which the
board Of regents of the university has
enlarged the scope of the institution,
the compensation of instructors so that
we may draw from the best in the
country. Beloit, too, is still in the front
rank, with new gifts aggregating nearly
a quarter of a million, making possible
an equipment for science study inferior
to that of no college in the West. SEN
ator Sawyer, whose heart and purse are
always open to plans for increasing the
educational power Of Wisconsin schools,
has authorized the trustees of the Law
renee, at Appleton, to provide proper
astronomical equipment.
This is all in the right spirit Schools
live only through the affection and pride
of the people. There is no other way IN
all the world that mans surplus mon
ey can accomplish such certain good as
in building up schools, and no other di-
rectlon in wich enthusiasm can reach so
far in its good effects as in the spread of
zeal for education.-TS Sentinel.

The following, clipped from the Bur-

information of no little value to persons
troubled with Indigestion.
For years the Editor of the Post has been sub

prostrated him for several hours and untitled

About year ago we called on s. J. Butcher,

an attack that was already making life hideous.
Mr. Butcher handed us bottle of Chamberlaing
Collie, Cholera and DiaTrhRa Remedy. We took
the medicine according to directions, and not
only found relief on that occasion, but have
several times since tried its virtues and found
relief in every instance. We take this method

ommending the cure to all others subject to in

brakeman on the c.. NJ. & st. Paul r. r.
came pretty near losing his life while
coupling cars. 1t appears that the
bumper of one car was little higher
than the other and when they came
together one bumper slipped right over
the other bringing the two cars quite
close together and squeezing Frank
between them. He was brought to
Centralia and DR.. Hougen called when
it was found that three ribs were broken
but no evident symptoms that any
organ was badly effected. However
they had been well squeezed. At
present writing Frank is getting along
