New Electric Light Plant.

At the council meeting last Wednes-
day night it was decided to submit the
following question to the voters of
DEBORAH at the city election to be held
March End:
"Shall the City Council OF the city Of Decor.
alb, Iowa, authorize any person, company or
corporation to erect and operate an Electric
Light plant in said city,"
This does not imply that the city
will be taxed to erect and maintain a
plant sufficient for it's needs, but it
means that if the voters so declare, the
city council will authorize some COM
pany to erect and operate a plant.
Bear in mind it is to be operated by
some corporation at no expense to the
citizens except, of course, those who
have lights for private use. This is a
mere form giving the council the right
to authorize some company to put in
a plant that will supply the city with
abundant lighting, and should be sup
ported by every voter. Turn out and
vote "yes."

Uncle Toms Cabin.

The Grand opera house was packed
to the brim Saturday night to hear
Uncle Toms Cabin. The show was
good, and the following from a Eau
Claire newspaper will explain the de-
tails of the combination.
plays may come and plays may go
but Uncle Toms Cabin will continue
with us for many years to come, as
long as it is presented in such an adj
mirable manner as Managers Salter &
Martin put it upon the stage. The
company arrived in the city yesterday
morning on their own special train of
cars and gave as fine street parade as
some of the larger circuses. 1t consist
ed of two bands of music, chariOts,
ponies, OK and cart, a phaetOn cart and
pony, four pickaninies, eight huge
blOod-hOunds, drum major who mani
pulated baton very cleverly, numer-
Gus boys finely costumed and CARRYING
banners; a novelty was a colored drum
major, feet, IA inches i'm height,
whose age is only eighteen years. At
the matinee performance numbers were
turned away, unable to gain admit
ance, while another large audience was
present last night. The public of this
city has been deceived by the Davis,
Stets0n and other companies, who
simply gave a great street show and
mediocre stage performance, that the
Salter d Martin company was one of
the most enjoyable and agreeable sur
prises our theatre patrons have received
this season. "Uncle TOm"-"Evan-
"Topsy''-''Marks", and in fact all the
leading characters were in capable
hands, while the scenery was beautiful
and as extensive as that carried by the
larger spectacular companies. A most
typical scene was the plantation in the
first act, with Uncle Tom and his OK
and cart, surrounded by pickaninies
and jubilee singers, picking cotton.
Elsie Russell, who impersonates Topsy
in most acceptable manner, intro
duces strong singing and dancing
speciality between the first and second
acts. A word of praise is due the fine
work executed by the orchestra. 1t
consists of ten musicians and it is no ex-
aggeratiOn to say it is one of the best
travelling Orchestras that has ever visit
ed Eau Claire. A commendable feature
is the fact that they remain in the or
chestra and are not foisted upon the
public as actors, something which
occurs too often. Managers Salter&
Martin are both young men and are to
be congratulated upon their enterprise
in putting this grand old drama before
the public on such an elaborate scale
and are bound to be successful financial
ly as they already are artistically

Valdez College Notes.

Furnished by one of the students.l
The first Student dance of the season
was held at Steyer's Opera House Satur-
day evening, Feb. Sth. The dance was
a grand success with about 200 students
in attendance. Ervin's Band furnish
ed the music.
Tuesday. of last week, Rex, Attorney
Acers' large dog, entertained the Stu
dents of the Valdez Business College.
Mr.. Rex would undoubtedly have
jumped through the large glass win
dow had not the students protected the
window. After a little cOaxing and
persuading Prof. Howe managed to rid
the school of his company. No one
seems to know how he got into the
room.
Milton Albro completed the business
course last Wednesday and left for his
home at Spring Valley, MINI. on
Thursday. He took his sheep-skin
with him.

The Merry World.

The following we clip from the Mil
waukee Journal of February 4, 1896,
which will tell you what "The Merry
World" is:
At last The Merry World has come
to the Davidson theatre and was the
cause last night Of large audience
spending an evening punctuated con-
SANITY with applause and laughter.
The authors make no pretense at offer
ing other than nonsense, but 1t proves
to be very delightful nonsense. The
company is practically the same which
presented the series of skits in New
York, and they give to this Review of
Contemporaneous Metropolitan Sue
cesses, as it is called, an Interpretation
which is in every way admirable.

THE ART SELF.PRESERVATIVE.

No matter at all what may befall,
What disasters are flying about,
The newspaper man somehow will plan
To get his paper out.
An earthquake shock may to smithereens
knock
The printing house, brick and plaster;
Yet the paper is there with headline scare
And details OF disaster.
Printers may strike and strive as they like
Till the issue may seem in doubt;
Forms may "pi" and editors die,
But the paper will still come out
Accidents dire may happen and fire
Devour each press and frame,
But If the whole blame town itself burn down
The paper comes out the same.
There's only one way-when folks don't pay
For their paper it goes up the spout,
For there's nothing on earth save the long
green's dearth,
Keeps the paper from coming out

The Farmers Institute.

In our last issue we gave a short ac-
count of the Farmers Institute at
Hesper. Below we continue the article
with as much space as we have room
for, and will conclude next week.
There were several very instruct
i've talks, on raising corn and prepar-
ing the soil, given by Thos. Rice, c. A.
Hiatt, G. o. Themes and others.
Then Chas. E. Wood gave his expert
ence with the corn-binder and the
husker and shredder. He says with
this machinery, that it costs about so
CENTS per acre to NOW, husk and put
corn in the crib, and by utilizing the
stock for fodder and using this machin-
cry, there has been a saving of at least
1914 on the Weiser farm last year.
The Silo was described by Thos. Rice
and he had sample of the fodder there
for inspection. He also told how his
Silo was built, which was of great in
terest to the farmers.
Geo. Tyler's article on feeding and
caring for stock was good and we regret
that we have not the space to give it in
full. He saysin regard to feeding hogs:
~ have found that the best way to
manage is to cook the feed, it being
composed of corn and oats ground, half
of each, then cook and mix the milk
from the dairy with it and feed while
it is sweet. Do not let it get sour, for it
is not fit for hogs in that way. By
feed prepared in this way, can make
3 pounds of pork as easy as 2pounds
by the old way of feeding"
There were also short talks, on the
care and feed of stock, given by John j..
Walenta, C. o. Maltby and John
McMullen, Mr.. McMnllen giving a
description of a trough to feed hogs in
so they would not waste their feed; Mr..
Maltby giving a description of how
calves should be fed and cared for.
Friday evenings session was feast
for all. There We're number of short
speeches, followed by Prof. G. A. DIV
er, whose subject was, "The Poetic in
Daily Life" Mr.. divers speech was
one that did him credit, as well as the
subject he handled in such a mastery
way. Saturday morning, after the
election of officers, the lighter branches
of farming were taken up. Mrs. j. L..
Cameron gave short talk on poultry,
after which, Baily G. Street read very
instructive article which will be pub
lished in our next issue. Next was an
article, written by II. A. Bigelow, CIV
ing his experience in bee farming some
thirty years ago, but he has not had
the nerve to try it since.
There were several other instructive
talks on poultry and the lighter branch
es of farming, after which, DIR. Il. L..
Rice of Harmony spoke on Hog Cholera
and the Iowa Agricultural College.
There were two resolutions read by
Will H. Wilson, the Secretary, which
will be published next week. E. L..
Boards article on the Dairy, advising
the farmers to keep nothing but the
highest grade of mixers, was very in
structive, and he also gave some very
interesting figures. There were some
other very instructive talks on this
subject, after which they adjourned, all
feeling well paid for their trouble. The
next Farmers Institute will be held at
Calmar, March 9Th. d 7th.
