As was foretold in the Herald last
week. Q. ID. Merrill for the Chilaren's
Home society Of Wisconsin, appeared
before the county board Tuesday af-
teruoon aud explained the aims, pur-
poses aud wants 81 the institution.
The society is chartered under ehap-
ter 20 Of the laws Of 1897. which de-
fine its powers and duties. Briefly
stated. the society offers 10 take de-
pendent children from the county and
place them in permanent homes for
the sum of $50 per child. II has been
the experience o. the society that
there are more homes without child
rem than there are children without
homes and that there Is no difficulty
finding good homes for the depend
ents. Il Is urged, and with good rea-
son. that this method + in the inter-
est 81 good citizenship, that it is due
TO childless homes thai want to re-
cieye children that tht homeless be
sent there rather than toanas ylum, that
humanity requires that helpless, home
less little ones be placed in good
homes whenever possible, and that the
methods Of this society are the most
economical vet devised. The county
board are considering carefully the
claims Of the society and seem to be
favorably impressed with the society's
position.

there were restored TO the rolls 1871 pen
sioners VINO had been previously dropped,
a total Of 54,072. During the same period
the losses 10 the rolls were q $50 by death,
AVf4 by remarriage Of widows and mothers

failure 10 claim pension for three years and
4,559 Tor other causes. an aggregate Of
l.12z.
Tie whole number Of pensioners on the
rolls June %, 1891, was s7s,0l4 The net gain
over the previous year was 1886. It viii
thus be seen that the pension roll has rot
set begun 10 show any Giminution, though
Il has been anticipated by predecessors in
office that such would be the fact. Seven
widows OF revolutionary soldiers and nine
daughters Of revolutionary soldiers are
still on the rolls.
The amount dtsbursed for pensions by
the pension agents during the year was
Sl51. 1872 y and The amount disbursed by
treasury settlement was So. q. a total
Of sl55.3f9, III 81. This exceeds the amount

the sum Of s.. 5S4. 1913 II GIL certificates,
which were held In this bureau unit July

agents during the fiscal year, they wo4lI
haze required first payments amounting to

value, which would also have been a charge
uron the appropriation. This amount
added to that actually dtsbursed, makes an
aggregate OF sl41. 1856 The appropria-
ton for the payment of pensions for the
fiscal year 1887 was only $4,000, 600 The
average annual value of each pension at
the close of the year was s123I7 The av-

iron manufacturing failures have not been
smaller except In one month; wool manu-
featuring. except in two months; leather
and shoes and unclassihed manufacturing,
except in four months. and cotton manu-
featuring, except In six months. OF trad

output Of pig again exceeds the demand,

the consumption is kept at the maxim by
pressure of orders. which the works are

reports of the condition of winter wheat

spite of the course of wheat, and authori-

Steel Roadbeds For Wagons.

A subject Of much interest IN rural
communities and recently established
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture is the Improvement of or
binary roads by use OF steel tracks.
Sample sections Of such roads have
already been built in New Jersey, New
York and New Lenox, H. The adj
vantage OF such a road Is distinctly
apparent in a neighborhood OF many
mines The track itselfis an inverted
channel provided on one side with a
small lip intended to serve as a guide
for the wheels. The tread is eight
inches wide, about one-sixteenth inch
thick and weighs about sixtv-dve
pounds to the yard 50 that about one
hundred tons per mile will be re-
quired The rails are imbedded in
the gravel Of the road and are tied to-
gether at intervals to prevent their
spreading. The rails do not become
buried in the mud IN bad weather and
they do not tip and become uneven.
