In 1868, the Legislature made proyis-
ion for the establishment of system
of Normal schools, and committed the
state to the policy Of undertaking the
work Of training teachers.
The first school was established at
Plattevile, in 1866. Since that time
five other schools have been organized
and legal provision made for a seventh.
The schools have been popular with
the people. steadily increasing in en-
rollment aud the number of graduates
sent forth. But as the schools have
increased in number, in enrolment,
in necessary cost, the funds in the
hands of the Regents have not in
creased in a corresponding ratio; and.
unless the present legislature shall act,
some or all of the schools will be seri-
ously crippled.
The people OF the state cannot afford
TO neglect the Normal schools, for in
them the skilled teachers of the state
are trained, and imperfect equipment
there will impair the whole system of
schools high schools graded schools
and rural schools.
The Normal schools are the peoples
schools. They have no false standard
of graduation. The students rank ae-
eording to their worth, not according
10 the social position of their parents.
Their training is genuine. honest. But
if they keep pace with the progress Of
other departments Of education in Wis
consin, they must be strengthened
The demands the puhlic are making
upon them will require their enlarge
ment. According to conservative es-
Inmates. there will he an actual deficit
of over $4,000 for the year ending
July /, 1898. This deficit is largely
due 70 the miSmanagement of the
democratic Board OF Regents, but that
does not excuse the present legislator,
from its plain duty to provide for the
pressing needs of the Normal schools.
1t will he almost 10 neglect them.

What strange events occasionally
confront us. Sometimes it is MUIR
der, sometimes theft, corruption in
office or anarcy and once more it is
County Division
This is as bad as murder. To am
putate that great strip Of country
from Grant County would leave her
walking on one leg the rest of her
days.
There seems to be no argument of
fered by these strange people for the
division of the county except that the
poor Crawfordians are so burdened
with taxes that these benevolent
wild geese from the sloughs of the
Wisconsin River deem it their duty
to go to their rescue and with their
long legs and strong wings secure
them justice and security.
But this too much to believe. We
know thereare no people who are more
generous than Grant County people
but this is the first instance of their
offering to pay the taxes of other peo-
pie, we have ever heard Of. There are
plenty of people in Grant County who
would enjoy having their taxes paid
by this benevolent clique also, There
are lots of needy people in the west
that they might help and thus use
some of their surplus funds,
But if the people of Crawford County
can afford to maintain their county
government without assistance, it
seems as though these generous heart
ed people of Boscobel and whereabouts
could at least refrain from committing
such wayward act sa to try and di
vide the county.
They might send over sack of
potatoes or a barrel of meat once in a
while to show their kind feelings with
out going over there to live.
Boscobel would be very nice situ-
alton for the tine feathered nest they
seem to be trying to get material for,
but it seems to me they would want
the old Court House for a nest egg.
No, we won't believe that it is
generously on the part of those men
who are causing all this stir.
But Messrs Sesessionists. you had
better throw that nicely framed petit
ton into the Wisconsin river, let it
float into the Mississippi, thence to
the South to the soil that has already
had experience in secession. Let Grant
county remain as it is and your con-
soienoc oon' : 0ot,.ei you SO much as
if you were instruments in its division.

Some of our neighbors seem to be
very much wrought up over the
division of the county. In our iudg-
ment there is no more probability
that the bill before the legislature to
divide Grant County will pass and the
boundaries of the counties be changed
than there is that the State of
Wisconsin will be divided Does any
one seriously believe that Crawford
County would vote to move her coun-
ty seat across the Wisconsin river
into foreign territory for the sake of
widening her boundaries little? Is
il at all likely that the people Of
North Grant would be willing to as
sumo the immense expense incident
to changing from one county to an
other for the sake Of being little
nearer county seatP Is it reason
able thi.t the legislature viii take any
action looking toward change of
boundaries when no member is
enough interested even to introduce
bill except "by request" The
whole scheme is a joke to brighten
timid people and hear them howl.
II has no more foundation-not so
much as the Platte county bug
a-boo and that was like s'the stun
that dreams are made of. y

SAFE IN PORT.
The Long-Overdue Steamer La Gasoogn
Anchors on sandy Hook.

The Long-Overdue Steamer La Gascogne
Anchors on sandy Hook.
QUARANTINE, Feb. LA Gascogne
is safe, The big French liner, eight
days overdue, dropped anchor at the
bar Just before midnight. All well on
board, and sigh of relief goes up from
two continents. Delay was due to a
broken piston-rod and to the terrific
gales which have swept the North
Atlantic for the past week or more
and brought disaster to MANY a stanch
craft. Capt. Baudelon and the officers
and crew of La Gascogne brought
the ship and passengers through the
gales and made port without help.
There were 1876 passengers on board
La Gascogne, divided as follows: First
cabin. 80; second cabin, 10; third bin,
116, Including the crew there were
372 on the vessel.
New YORK, Feb. l2.-The news that
La Gascogne had been sighted was re-
cieved amid the greatest excitement at
the offices of the French line in
Bowling Green. The cabin Office
was crowded with anxious inquirers
who have relatives and friends
on board that steamship. They
had been standing around with pale
faces expecting at any moment to hear
the worst. When the word came that
the ship was safe, for moment still
ness reigned which was almost
painful in its intensity. Agent
Forget, for a moment, was rem
dered speechless, which evidenced how
anxious he had been for the safety
of the La Gascogne. Then he regained
himself and became wildly hilarious.
Many wet eyes could be seen in the
Office when the good news was ascer-
tanned, and the tears were not from the
eyes of women alone. Strong men
wept as little children. The strain OF
days of worry had been too much for
them. One man, Mr.. Richie, broke
down completely and sobbed as if his
heart would break. He has three
daughters on board La Gascogne, two
of them of very tender years. lie had
abandoned all hope when the joyful
tidings came.

Scurvy Trick is Played on Dignified Pas
tor and Congregation.

Vineland, n. J., June 20.-Services
had just begun in the Wesleyan church
last night when one of the brothers
sneeZed violently several times. Pres
entity two or three of the devout sisters
sneezed with such energy that the rest
of the assemblage became alarmed. In
a few minutes everybody was either
sneeZing or coughing. The sneeZeS
came on like a rising breaker. Pastor
Scull looked at his flock in blank
amazement, and gave out a hymn. The
choir tried TO take up the tune, but the
organiSt had TO stop TO sneeZe. Then
the pastor himself caught the Infection
and fell to coughing and suffering,
dignity all gone.
The elders looked over the audience
between proXysms and vainly endeav-
ored to fathom the cause of the I'M
toward event. 1t was all a mystery.
The service was abandoned. for not
even a prayer could be offered.
Finally il was discovered that mis-
chievous persons had thrown loose
packages Of snuff through two or three
of the windows, and the fine powder
had blown over all the congrega ton.
The people were unable 20 gain relief
until every door and window was OPEN
ed TO its widest stretch. Pastor Scull
managed then to quiet his flock, and
proceeded with the services. The
church officials are very much excited
over the snuff throwing. and offer a
reward for the arrest of the miscreant

RESURRECTED FROM MAD HOUSE.
Mrs. Hensworth ReaPpears in Oklahoma
and Finds Her Husban nd Married.

Perry. o. T., June 2O.-Mrs. Lena
Hensworth of st. Joseph, Mo, arrived
in Perry last night and her coming has
Created considerable excitement in
that she has brought to light the per-
fidity of a wei known Perry man. She
found her husband, James Hensworth
living with another woman, so she said,
and she also found her long lost child
rem. Today Mrs. HenSworth filed suit
for alimony and asked the court to re-
strain her recent husband from selling
his real estate here.
In her petition Mrs. HenSworth says
he sent her TO an insane asylum DUR
ing temporary insanity spell, and that
she soon was perfectly we'll. Her hus-
band, instead of taking her out, came
from Missouri to Perry, and later Sc
cretly brought his children here. He
also brought a woman who waited on
his wife during an Illness, and the two
passed as man and wife. A year ago
the wife got out of the asylum and has
since been making diligent search
for her husband and children. She
did not ascertain their whereabouts
till week ago, when both wives met
at he home of Hensworth. Today there
was quite a scene.
