BADGER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Some Interesting Statistics Compiled by
State superintendent Emery.

Madison, Wis, May 2S.-[Special]-
State Superintendent Emery has COM
piled some interesting statistics pertain
ing to the public schools OF Wisconsin
that the sum of $5,789,98 was expended
in 1895 for the support of common
schools There were 1884 teachers
2346 men and 1888 women, employed,
and they received $3,900,000. There
are 674612 children of school age in the
state of which 397 Al or 50 per cent.

ton, and the qualifications of teachers
have materially advanced.

It was only on Thursday afternoon
that Deputy Constable Mugneml had a
rough and tumble fight with a Chinaman
within the walls of Justice owens court
room. and last night he got into more
trouble, this time with an Obstreperous
hobo whom he was booking for beg
ging. Frank Jones, as the fellow gave
his name. struck Mugnemi on the street
at 1870 last night for dime and would
not take no for an answer. ConSe-
quently he was brought in. While the
constable was searching him the pris-
oner grew quarrelsome, and suddenly at
tackled the officer, striking him five or
six times over the head before he was
subdued. On being put into Jail he was
recognized as a fellow who only a cou-
pie of days ago had been given a fifty
day fioater for vagrancy under the name
of Rogers and will now be compelled to
serve his time.

At p. m. Rev. C. c. Mclean opened

He called for a prayer from Rev S. l..

strength and courage for the committee
and blessings for the reporters.
Mr.. Mclean again made a few remarks
to say that the meeting was to be ad-
dressed by speakers from the League for
Better City Government in behalf of pO-
litical reform and from the Parkhurst
society for moral reform. Neither, he
said, would be responsible for what the

Then DR.. Mclean spoke again, this
time at considerable length. On starting
out he gave the implied promise that he
would tell all the narrowing experiences
of himself and other members of the
Summing committee that secured the
evidence upon which is based the whole
sale prosecutions of liquor dealers. He
said in opening that he does not know
what fear is. yet confessed he felt a
trembling when he entered upon the
great work he had undertaken. In the
fear of God and with much prayer he
went into the work with all his soul
and heart to overthrow evil. He de-

HOW The MINISTERS WENT OUT STUNNING

could revoke the license of the offender
The police commissioners promised me
that they would revoke the license of any
man caught selling liquor after mid
night or on the Sabbath"
AS to the methods of securing evil
dence the speaker said. ANY man who
will go into a saloon and by pretending
to be sick get drink after midnight
or does any other dishonora BILE thing to
catch a saloon keeper, is no man at all
and a court does right to rule out such
evidence. | have had in this work of Sc
curing evidence committees which cross
ed each others tracks without know
ing it, For the past nine days we have
had scarcely three hours sleep each
night. We did not pretend to be sick
We just went in to the places, asked for
drinks and got them. We tasted what
we bought and can swear to it's char
acter. We went in at five minutes after
II at night, at 2. 3 and in the morn
ing-and even on the morning of the
Sabbath. God help us if we have desc
Grated the Sabbath in getting this evi-
dence. Sometimes we did not get to our
beds until o'clock in the morning. Some
one may say that it is wonder we did
not stagger home; but though we were
compelled to taste the liquor we were
not compelled to drink it. Though
am total abstainer, l slipped the stuff,
which was enough in the eyes of the
law. We tasted for the sake of God
and law. In order to carry on this work
it has cost money. l could not go before
hand and ask you to contribute, because
that would give away our plans. But
now we need money to pay the expense
we incurred. We want $500 now and
then if we continue the work we will
need $500 more"
