Five Old Printers.

The Madison Democrat of Saturday
last makes the following pleasant
mention of a visit of former Mineral
Pointer to the capital city: Yester-
day Thomas Bishop, an old soldier of
the second Wisconsin infantry and a
typo in the Wisconsin State Journal
the honored governor of the state,
held cases there, arrived in the city
from Volga, South Dakota, where he is
editor and publisher of The Tribune
Mr.. Bishop soon found his way to the
executive Office, where happy greet
ing was accorded him. The times of
old we're reviewed when, by and by
Governor Peck remarked: tom,
there are only few Of us old Journal
office printers left: Let see, there's
yourself, John Corscot, John Grit
ffths, and the name of The represen-
tative of The Democrat was men
toned. wen have a sort of a re-
union," added the governor. Get the
" boys" together and I'll telephone up
to the house for my new blackboard,
which seats six nicely" Within half
an hour the governor and his four old
typo friends were riding behind pair
of stylish steeds and all were happy as
old recolIections came to mind. The
drive continued till supper time, and
an hour after SUPP T was spent in
telling what fun was realized before
war times.

The question of providing more
room for pupils attending the second
ward schools was brought by the
board OF education before the com
mon council at the regular meeting on
Monday night. 1t was stated that in
the primary department there is an
average daily attendance of over so
mt times reaching as high as 90; that
the primary room, which is 22iX36a,
is entirely inadequate to accommo-
date so large a number of children,
having seating capacity of only
about GO. II was asked that an inyeS-
tigation of the matter be made by the
council SO that the members might be
fully informed as to the work necessary
to be done to enlarge the present
school building. The committee on
schools, consisting Of aldermen Erie
den, Gilman and Wiel were, on
motion, requested to act in commune
ton with the school board, and to
report ut a special meeting Of the
council to be called by the mayor.
The need Of more room for the schools
has been felt for some time. The
leasing of the Parish school building
a few years ago was an absolute
necessity; and last year the board
found themselves confronted with the
condition of affairs stated above, but
after a careful investigation could find
no vacant building in the city suitable
for school purposes. We believe that
the council ought not to hesitate a
moment to provide the means for
making the necessary additions to the
second ward school building. The
need of more room is acknowledged
on all hands. Ii is not right to keep
from 50 to 90 pupils in a compar-
atively small room, and to do SO is
not in keeping with Mineral Points
progress in other directions. The
schools of the city are in good con
dition and are doing excellent work,
and we are glad to know that strong
sentiment prevails among our citizens
in favor of providing the needed &C
commodations for advancing the
educational interests of the city.

AS he was bending over at the belt a

About RillV Marble

VIM. Marble. the well known CONNIE

family in America. His grandfather
came to this country among the first
actors that ever crossed the Atlantic,
in the same company and n the same
ship with the grandfather of Joseph
Jefferson. Marbles grandfather, VIII
liam Warren, built the chestnut street
theatre in Philadelphia, and Holiday
street in Baltimore, and had the honor
of acting before General Washington
Marbles grandfather and Joe Jeffer-
sons grandfather married sisters. VIII
liam Warren, the old veteran of the
Boston museum, who died year or
two ago, belonged to the same stock.
He had some Of the same vicissitudes
in early life that Joe Jefferson so de-
lightfully describes in his autobiog-

A circular letter has been issued
from the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Madison, saying that sample
packages of sugar beet seed will be
sent to farmers who desire to eXper-
iment in cultiyating let's for the
manufacture of sugar. The circular
says:
"lf Wisconsin can produce her own
sugar proltably, it should be done.
Only when we learned what it costs to
grow crop of beets, the number of
tons that can be produced per acre,
the per centage of sugar contained in
the juice, and its purity, can we intel
ligently discuss the question of profit
ably producing sugar from the beet"
While entertaining the very highest
regard for the Wisconsin experiment
station, and its general work. The
Democrat is decidedly of the opinion
that the farmers had better give their
undivided attention to those branches
of husbandry for which it has been
demonstrated that the state is espec-
tally adapted, and leave the production
of sugar alone until some good reason
is advanced to show that it can be
carried on here at a profit. Nobody
claims that beet sugar can be pro
duced prolitably in any part of the
country, Independent of the bounty of
two cents per pound from the general
government, and even with this
bounty added its profitable production
in the most favorable sections is eX-
tremely doubtful. There are two good
reasons, we think, why the farmers of
Wisconsin should hesitate about de
voting much time or attention to rails
ing sugar beets. One is that the in
dustries in which they are now en-
gagged are self sustaining and help to
support the general government in
stead of imposing thereon n burden.
And another is, that the chances are
that should they elect to take the sub
sidy offered, and go into raising beets,
they would lose money on the venture.
