The teachers of our section should
heed the call of our secretary and at
tend the meeting next Saturday. If

the library books to the schools We
believe that his selection has been
carefully made and is very salts fac
tory to the teachers.
Two fine large stoves have been plac-

is thought that these stoves will prove
satisfactory and thus make the ex-
psnse Of steam heating unnecessary.
The Wayside Literary Society held

The debate on the lDdian Negro ques
ton was the main feature of the eve
nlng. The affirmative won. Miss

sisted very materially in making the
music and singing q success.

Cornell has confessed that he killed
his children, whose bodies we're found in
bed at Oconomowoc last week, their
skulls crushed with blows of hammer
and their Threats cut. He attempted to

believe 1t would be better for him and
his children to be dead. Lewis the board

released since the confession.
An Appleton young woman performed
a wonderful feat while in somnambulis-
tic state on Monday last. She arose at
three O'Clock IN the morning, put on a
wrapper and a pair Of slippers and tray

She was found sitting before fire Ir. the
house of a friend, and though the wealth
er was bitterly cold she was neither fro
zen or frost bitten.
The fool with q gun defies the utmost

killed. Certainly the person who goes
hunting with the careless man is a fool,
Near Portage, on Monday, nine year
old boy was shot and killed by person

The wisdom of postal savings banks is
a matter of supreme donbt. 1t involves
the government more deeply IL the bank
ing business; ii ls an additional usurpt-
tion Of business function; it is drain
Ing from the channels or trade Of small
savings; it is plling up money in the gov
eminent vaults which would be life
of schemes to get rid of the surplus. Ii
the government should invest this money
with view to having 1T produce the in
terest the government pays the deposit
ors, the government would be still furth-
er invading the domain of private enter :
p-lse. This step would require addition
al ones and we would soon have the gov
ernment IN competition with every line of
business, and paternalIsm permanently
installed.
What is the compromising advantage?
Safety for snail depositors, but it would
be ultimately at their own cost. 1t is In.
wiling great many evils in the interest
OF the man who boards his money.

WHAT was predicted would occur at
Dawson City has already set ln,-scRrcity
OF food which will soon end IN starvation.
The situation will be made more desper-
ate than was predicted as the last steam
ers failed to reach the place with pro-
visions. A party OF 25 who left Dawson
October Is arrived at Seattle this week
They report that when the failure of the
steamers to reach their destination was
made known at Dawson, the rush to get
way was almost equal tn the rush TO get
in during the early part of the season.
Provisions were extremely high then, ba-
con selling at 81 per pound and -four at
S75 per sack. The exodus from there will
relieve the situation somewhat, bat in
tense suffering is sure to ensue.
