FARMERS INSTITUTE.
An Mterrshng and Profitable
Session.

The Court House was crowded at each
session of the Farmers Institute on
Thursday and Friday last. Those who
were appointed as speakerafrom abroad
were Messrs. w. H. Cole, of Waterloo;
Thos. Convey, of Ridgway; C. H Ever
ett, of Beloit; J. NJ. Smith, of Green
Bay; and Geo. Wylie, of Leeds. All Of
whom read papers and took active part
in the discussions.
Those who read papers from this city
and Centralia, or took some part in the
program were Messrs. Geo. R. Gardner,
Geo. T. Rowland, J. A sGaynor, L. M.
Nash, 7. E. Whitman, A. S. Robinson
and Mrs A. S. Robinson.
The sessions of both days were made
very interesting and instructive. The
discussions were animated in which a
large number of farmers and citizens
took part. The singing was excellent,
and the local band furnished music prior
to the beginning Of each session.
The value of these institutes can hard
ly be estimated, yet from the interest
manifested in them by those who follow
farming as vocation, we believe they
act as a nursery to the efarmers,-schools
for their education.
However, the present administration
is in favor of abolishing these institutes
on account Of the expense necessary to
keep them up. We are pleased to note
that some fthe Democratic newspapers
are not in sympathy with the admins
tration in this respect. The Centralia
Enterprise in its last issue speaks as
follows:
'But we want to say most emphatic
ally that the Farmers Institutes of
Wisconsin have been the greatest bless
ing to our agriCulturahsts which has
ever been extended by a munifcient
state government.
There has been more work accom-
plished and more good done, and at the
lowest expense, than In any other line,
our vast educational interests not ex-
copied. And whenever any political
party attempts to pull down and discon-
tinue such institutions under the gulse
of reform" or under any other pretext
there should be no uncertain sound in
opposition to sucha movement. During
the last campaign certain we'll meaning
but misguided newspapers, of the Dem
ocratic faith, attempted to inject into
the fight an opposition to these insti-
tutiOnS."

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
UIh0 Shall zUe Haze for City
Officers.

As the month of April approaches, the
question arises, who will we have for
city officers? The present corps OF
officers have done well, but some cit
izens are always ready for a change.
We would never advocate the change of
a good officer until he had served at
least four years. If he don't care to
serve anv longer then successor is
necessary.
All any citizen can ask of any city
officer is that the good laws be honestly
administered; that equal justice be given
the rich and poor; protection for the
helpless and protection for the strong.
We want officers who will see to it that
the city streets and improvements are
kept up in first-class order; and that
everything that goes toward making a
well governed city be given us.
We want representative business
man for mayor, who believes in liberal
administration of the city affairs to the
detriment of no one. One who is not
extravagant, yet willing to do anything
necessary for the city's good. We find
no fault with the present officers, for as
far as they have been able with the
funds on hand, they have made many
excellent improvements which will
prove of lasting benefit to the city.
The assessor wants to be a man who
f,i orI annrDoiaS
Equal justice to all should be the upper
most thought his mind. The past
years assessI It has been greatly crit
iclsed with considerable grounds for
the criticism. A great many illustra-
tons might be cited to show the in
equally in the assessment, but we have
no desire to bring them out against the
last assessment unless we find it neces-
sary to correct the past evils.
live will apply to our political work
the common sense rules that we use in
other walks Of life; by treating the poll
tlcian in our politics as we would treat
the same man in our business; by first
finding out what we want and then
taking into consideration the nature OF
the man and the influences we can
bring to bear upon him. Get good men
who will do their duty and then stand
by them in the discharge of the same.
Let the best men possible be chosen,
and there will be no regret in the re-
suits Of their labor.

DEATH BY FIRE.

Everybody in this city who were any
acquainted with Mrs &. T. Bellows, now
a resident of New Orleans, La, but for
merly resident Of this city, were grief
stricken to learn of her unfortunate and
sad death. 1t seems that while she was
passing TIE open fireplace her clothes
caught on fire, from which she was so
badly burned that death insued the
same day. She was so BADLY burned
that her features were hardly recogniz-
able. The accident occurred while she
was alone in the house, at 9 O'Clock in
the morning, and being badly frightened
without any immediate help, she was
virtually burned to death.
Mrs. Bellows leaves her husband and
one daughter, Miss Emma, who IS well
and favorably known in this CITY, to
mourn her sudden and unfortunate
death. They have the sympathy of a
host of friends in this city.

TIE PROCTOR TOWER.

The building and grounds COM
mittee of the Columbian Exposition
have accepted the design for a tower
which we illustrate herewith The t0n-
er is to be of steel, 100 feet high, sur
mounted by a tall flagstaff Ten elevators
will carry passengers to the top. Four
Of these will run to the first landing, 2tJ
feet above the ground; two will run to-
the second landing, 400 feet above the
ground, stopping at the first landing;
while two others will run up without
stop to the second landing; and from
the second and third landings two will
shoot up into the dome, 900 feet above
the ground. The capacity of these ele-
vators is 5000 people per hour one way,
or 5000 people al hour up and down.
The tower viii be one glow of electric
light from base to dome, the very top
being Illuminated by powerful search
lights, which will throw brilliant glow
over the exposition.
Electricity will be used in numerons
ways. Salty devices, telephones, sigma.
ing apparatus, yentIlating fans, being
few of the necessary things that will be
operated by this subtle force.
Hydraulic power, i'll all probability,
will be used for running the elevators in
the tower. Meters, however, will be
used to operate pressure pumps that
supply the water to the hydraulic
cylinders.
Messrs. Holabird & Roche, we'll known
architects of Chicago, and Mr.. G.. r.
Purdy, mechanical engineer, have the
work Of the tower i'll hand--a fact which
is a sufficient guarantee of its perfect
struction.-Electrical Industries.
Mr.. c. I. Purdy, the engineer who has
charge of the erection Of the above
tower, was reared in this city. His
many friends will be pleased to learn of
his success.

Say # to your parents, your brothers.
your sisters, your schoolmates, and

fresher and work lighter. 1t seems to
make the morning good and to be Il
prophecy of a good day to come after
it. And if this be true of the good
morning" it is also so Of all kind, heart
some greetings. They cheer the DIS
couraged, rest the tired one, somehow
make the wheels of life run smoother.
Be liberal with them then, and let no

it may be, that you do not help at least
to brighten by your smiles and cheerful
words.
