At the Opera House.

The Empire Comedy Company,
which is now filling weeks engage
ment at McCaul's opera house is one
of the best and strongest repertoire
attractions that has ever visited this
city. They are giving entire satisfac-
tion in every respect and their roper
toire is an excellent one, while the
work of the individual members of
the company gives evidence of careful
painstaking attention TO every detail,
resulting i'm smooth and highly enjoy
able performances.
The Embas Ball as given Monday
night proved to be one of the prettiest
and strongest society comedies ever
presented in this city. The artistic
ability of the company was thoroughly
demonstrated by the manner in which
its mem bcrs assume characters of a
widely different type. Versatility is
one of the essential requirement in a
repertoire company, and the people
comprising the Empire company are
deserving of commentator in this
respect. Tuesday night m Hiss" was
presented, and altho' it is in style
directly opposite to 'sThe Embassy
Bali" every character was portrayed
i'm a truly artistic manner. 1.-THE
Prisoner for Life" on Wednesday
evening scored another success, and it
is safe to predict that the remaining
performances will be as satisfactory us
those heretofore giyen.-Tomah
Monitor.
The above attraction will be at the
Opera Hall in this city for one week,
commencing Monday, July 20. On
Monday night ladies will be admitted
free, if accompanied by a paid reserved
seat ticket. Admission 10, 20 and 30
cents

Dickens Personal Side.

Stephen Fiske, who probably knew
Dickins as intimately as did any
American, has been induced to write
of 1.-THE Personal Side OF Dickens
for the September Ladies' Home
Journal. Mr.. Fiske often spent
seasons with the famous novelist at
Gad's Hill, and his article will describe
the incidents of these visits, Dickens
home life, his method of working,
and his pastimes. 1t will possibly
surprise Dickens friends to learn,
through Mr.. Fiske. that a consider
able port On of his library was made
up of dummy books, which, however,
offered the author target for some
of his delightful satire in giving them
titles, and afforded his guests great
amuse ment.

1t is the season of picnics, and parties
of that kind are very numerous. One
numbering about thirty, mostly ladies,
and "chaperoned" by Mr.. and Mrs. X.
S. Freeman went to Prescott last Tuesday.
The shower early in the morning had
settled the dust and the drive down was
delightful. Arrived there the party, con-
sisting Of one hack drawn by four horses,
two Surveys, and four single rigs, drew
rein in front of the Methodist parsonage
and shook hands with the Rev. and Mrs.
Evans, who with lheir family were in
vited to share the provision and consult
ed as to the best place to have the spread.
They suggested a steamboat ride of about
six or eight miles above town to Cops
Cooley, or a drive to the grove about a
mile below on point overlooking the rlv-
er. As some of the party objected to boat
riding the latter place was selected, and
the party finally landed in a warm sun
shiny grove and made themselves as
Portable with blankets, cushions and inn
provised awnings as the weather would
permit, that is the majority of the ladies
did while the few more industrious made
coffee and spread the tables(?) and the
male pursuasion busted themselves in
serving them and their equines. 1t was
considerably past the moon hour when
dinner was announced and no one
hesitated to respond promptly. The
supply held out well, however, and
when everybody had been served with
Mrs. Bells delicious ice-cream and the
dishes put away Mr.. Sanderson discover
ed cloud off to the northwest that was
not all cigar smoke. A consultation was
held, the strays called back, and those
who were fortunate enough to have their
teams in the grove were not slow to seek
shelter at the parsonage. Several teams
however were down town and before
they could be procured lively thun der
shower had arrived and there was con-
fusion among the picnickers, but all
reached the parsonage looking more or
less demoralized. When the storm was
oyer and the sun shone out again amid a
good deal of laughter and many well
ii mined jokes the party hade good bye
to their obliging hosts and after taking a
tour of the city started on their home
ward journey, reaching River Falls about
half past nine o'clock very tired but still
happy.

There is a certain class of dead
BEATS that never intend to pay for
anything, but always have plenty of
money to plank down for unnecessary
luxuries. If merchants and people in
all lines of trade would organize
against this class OF leeches it would
be a good thing. In GAINESVILLE and
other towns in this state the business
men have commenced a campaign
against this class of Swindlers. Each
merchant and business man prepares
list of people who have been asked
many times for payment, but in every
instance refused to pay. The whole
list is printed on a card, arranged in
alphabetical form, with the amount
of Indebtedness and the reason for not
paying. The name of every de-
linquent if left until such account
has been paid, when the name is
taken from the list. No credit is eX-
tended by any merchant until the
accounts have been all paid.-White-

wiseonsin's State Fairs.

There will be two state fairs in
Wisconsin this year, one at Milwaukee
and the otherat Chippewa Falls The
one at Chippewa Falls is the result OF a
decision by number of northern
Wisconsin exhibitors at the state fair
held in Milwaukee last fall. They
noticed that q large portion of the
fruits, vegetables and other things of
interest came from what has been
known for the past fifteen years as
the new Wisconsin-that portion Of
the state built up largely since 1870 in
consequence of the various railroads
that have plowed through the dense
forest of pine and hardwood.
The State Agricultural Society, the
one whose fairs are held in Milwaukee
will be put upon its very best behavior.
IL has been travelling for some years,
at a comparatively easy gait, having a
monopoly of such shows. This
youngster, born less than a year ago,
in the new Wisconsin, has already
become a giant, and the fair at
Chippewa Falls promises TO surpass in
many respects any that has been held
in the state for years. and in only a
few respects is it likely to fall behind
the one held in Wisconsin's metropolis
under the auspices Of the state society,
now more than forty years old.
The new enterprise has the enthu-
siastic support Of the element that
never fails TO win when it unites, as ii
has this time. This is proved by the
ample railroads that cross and recross
that rich portion of Wisconsin-that
part of the great state that is destin-
ed, within ten or fifteen years to
become the richest dairy section in
the United States. Ten years ago it
was believed that it was of little worth
after the timber was cut. To-day
there are thousands of prosperous
farmers there; creameries and cheese
factories are multiplying, and at the
present time only a small part of the
land is regarded as unsuitable for
agricultural purposes.
While for nearly fifty years that
part of the state has been gold mine
in the pine trees it possessed, for the
next century it will be more than a
gold mine because of its farm
products. The president of the new
society is James A. Agen of Superior.

most in building up the thrifty city

The weather has been the subject of
intense interest since the adjourn

freshing showers the first of the week
revived the vegetation that had shown
indications of succumbing TO the in

on sandy land the chinch bug is doing

not very satisfactory. The stand is

The Dairu School Graduale.

Since the opening of the Wisconsin
Dairy School in 1891 there has been a
total attendance of 574 students, 4Sl
Of these were residents of Wisconsin
and so came to us from other states
and countries.
After a student has taken full
course in the dairy school he is a can
didate for dairy certificate from the
University of Wisconsin. In order to
obtain this certificate he must have
worked in a creamery or cheese fac
tory for two seasons of not less than
seven months each. One of these
seasons must follow the period spent
with us, and during this time the can
didate must have practical charge OF
the factory in which he is working.
He will report the work of his factory
on proper blanks furnished by the
university.
The students factory is inspected
by a representative of the dairy school,
and no certificate will be issued if an
unfavorable report is made by the in
spector. If all the conditions are sat
isfactorily complied with the candi-
date will receive a dairy certificate.
The dairy school creamery is in
operation during the entire year, thus
giving an opportunity for expert
ments at all times in butter and
cheese making, also in milk and cream
pasteurizing. 1t also affords students
a chance to take our Factory Pupil
course, which gives them the neces-
sary experience to enter the regular
dairy school course if they have nc
other place to get this experience.
The annual circular describes more
fully the outfit and details of the
school and it will be sent to any one
who wishes to know more about the
different courses.
Eighty-six dairy certificates have
been issued to date and over forty
former pupils are now working for
dairy certificates.
