RACINE wants Eignt more wards.

Racine, Wis, Dec. preliminary
steps have been taken to create eight
new wards in the city, which will
make fifteen in all. Committees have
been appointed and petitions will be
circulated for signers. With fifteen
wards, the city would have majority
in the county board of supervisors, and
thus control the business of that body.
Under the law three new precincts
will have to be established at once.

Not ASK Large Appropriation.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 5.-The board
of state university regents adjourned
yesterday. The matter of appropria
lions to be asked Of the legislature this
winter was discussed at length, being
finally referred to committee of five
with Regent w. A. Jones as chairman.
This committee will draw up bill to
be presented to the legislature and will
report the same at the January meet
ing of the board. The regents are dis
posed to ask only such appropriations
as are absolutely needed. This means
that the completion of the library
building is likely to be delayed for two
years.

THE SECOND DAYS SESSION.
The Teachers Spend Another Day in
Talking of Schools.

j
Talking of Schools.
The mornings session of the teachers
institute opened at the high school au-
ditorium today with full attendance.
The program was slightly changed to
suit circumstances. After the opening
exercises, instead of speaking on school
management, as the official program
states, Prof. Hewitt spoke on mental
arithmetic. The address occupied from
Oils until 1905 o'clock and embodied
many pertinent points of instruction in
the study. The hour devoted to the
speech was only too short, but it gave
to young teachers the results of many
years of experience as an instructor.
After the rest which followed Prof.
Hewitt's address Miss Dunlap spoke on
primary numbers. Miss Dunlap illus
trated and explained a system of add
ing which made numbers easy for chill
dren as well as facilitated adding.
Following Mrs. Dunlap's talk was an
other rest Of five minutes, after which
Prof. Hewitt spoke on liberal manage
ment until the close Of the morning
session.
In the afternoon session Prof. Hewitt
spoke on Language" and Miss Dun
lap on Primary Numbers" and
Primary Geography" The close of
the afternoon meeting ended the con-
Yenton, which all concerned regard as
a very successful one.

PHYSICIANS FIND
All People Not Alike.

| A letter carrier said his wife liked
coffee so we'll and seemed to really need
it at breakfast, it was too bad for the
doctor to order her to discontinue it.
He told her that her bad complexion,
dyspepsia, nervousness and occasional
palpitation of the heart all came from
one cause and that was coffee drinking.
The good man went on further to
say: MY child, if you were as strong
as your husband and had the miles Of
outdoor walking to do that he has
daily, you could drink one cup OF cof-
fee, or perhaps two, at breakfast and
dinner without any very bad effects,
but the same poisonous alkaloids exist
in coffee as are found in tobacco, whis
key, strychnine and morphine. There
is not so great a proportion of them in
coffee as in the other drugs, but a suf-
fcient amount exists to seriously injure
any one whose constitution is a little
below par.
All of these drugs can be used for a
time by perfectly healthy people, but if
their use is persisted in long enough,
the human body finally gives evidence
of the effect of the steady poison, and
many people who do not know this fact
die because of their unnatural habits.
q IF you could use a hot drink in the
morning made from the nourishing
grains that nature has provided for the
use of man, it would satisfy your appe-
tite and fatten your body
A wholesome, delicious hot drink of
the kind that old doctor referred TO is
found in Postum Cereal Food Coffee
made from grains by the Postum Cereal
Co. (Lim.) J, of Battle Greek, Mich; t
brews the rich color of Java or Mocha,
has grand fragrance and the pun@ant
taste demanded by all coffee drinI>er
No poisonous alkaloids are found here.
Man is only safe when he sticks to ma
lures food furnished by the Creator,
prepared in a number of ditfere.t ways,
to be sure. Ruddy health and red
blood will follow the discortinuance of
unnatural drinks and the substitution
therefor of the Cereal food drink. It's
use will tell the facts more plainly in
the body than words can be made to
express. Grocers furnish it and ex-
perience teaches that it gees about
three times as far as coffee.

FREsso,s GREAT RABBfr DRIVE.
Expected Victory Turned to Partial De-
feat by a Biunder.

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. Somebody
blundered on the right wing" has often
been written in explanation of greater
losses than that which was sustained by
the great army OF rabbit drivers fifteen
miles west of this city to-day. The column
OF rushers was the largest that ever par
ticipated in drive in the San Joaquin
Valley The hunters were there-hun-
dreds OF them-and the rabbits were there
thousands OF them-but the mounted
officer in charge failed TO do his duty, and
when victory seemed assured it suddenly
turned to defeat.
Somebody else blundered in failing to
have an irrigating ditch on the line oi
march drained before the drive came off
This ditch was encountered just before the
fence lines were reached. If the unskiIled
and undisciplined mass of humanity which
was the base to the great triangular field
had been in line this ditch would have
paralleled it throughout most of its extent,
which meant about six miles. Instead OF
line with all abreast it was struggling
and disconnected rabble, apparently i'm
bued with the idea that every fellow was
for himself and his bison hoofed majesty
take the hindermost.
1t happened that there was large num-
Der OF speedy sprinters near the center Of
the line. These reached the ditch first.
Owing to the tagging of the right wing
the wriggling, swarming mass of rabbits
was to the right of the center. huddled on
the bank of the ditch, which had water
surface of from ten to twenty feet. The
center OF the mob made sharp turn to
the right of the ditch. and rushed upon
the little qnadrupeds with the supposed
purpose of forcing them into the ditch.
The rabbits suddenly, and as if by one
impulse, faced their foes, seeming to
observe the great gap in the right wing,
where there were only few men-and boys
with clubs. In an instant thousands of
the pests rushed for the broken line.
The air was rent with the deafening
yells of a thousand throats, raised in the
hope OF calling attention to the blunder,
but it was too late, for the larger portion
OF the army of rabbits had saved itself by
this grand coup. Several hundred-pos-
sibly thousands-crossed the ditch, and
many of these were dubbed to death and
left on the field.
Only d &c" uuuoIeu, where lHeIe suoulu
have been thousands, were finally forced
into The corral and slaughtered.
The army of drivers was large and un-
wieldy, every conceivable conveyance being
in the line; the aides were few and far De-
tween, and of generalship there was none.
Yet despite these drawbacks hundreds of
the long-eared pests were killed. No serl-
Gus accident occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day. A few carts and buggy wheels
were smashed and innumerable shins
were barked bv clubs in the hands of reck-
less boys. Soon after the line was formed,
about 1880 A. NJ, rain began to fall; there
was light shower in the afternoon, and
tonight 1t is raining in earnest.
