Although sugar cane is indigenous in
Hawaii, little attempt was made to-
ward its cultivation until 1885, when
a plantation was started at Kauai, and
several sugar mills were built These
mills were worked by the aid Of mules
and oxen, and the process was Glow
and laborious. What a contrast to the
mills of the present day, where the
cane is taken and made into crystals OF
sugar. There is no royal road to

Colonel Copeland.

The notable lecturer, Colonel L. F.
Copeland, Of Harrisburg, Pa, deliv-
cred his creation, Seeing the Ele-
phant, at Turner Opera house Mon
day night before fair-siz audience.
To say that this expert platform en-
tertainer pleased his hearers i'm
mensely would be putting it mildly;
he seemed to touch the popular chord
completely, and his enunciations Of
solid truths, interspersed with bright
wltticlsms, were greeted with gener-
Gus applause. Colonel Copeland is
original and unique, if anything.
While not truly eloquent, he at times
rises sublimely to the situation and
his efforts exhibit intense sincerity of
purpose and line of deep thought.
Taken as whole, the lecture was an
earnest plea for higher and broader
living. The examples of how wrong
doings and regretable conditions had
grown out of trides were incidents
that had come under the colonel's own
experience. They were apt. to the
point, and served as object lessons for
all. Colonel Copeland is engaged in
good work and is no doubt accom-
plishing much more in his peculiar
way than many other teachers.

New Order in the Bank of Watertown
and the Woodland & Stone Company.
The change in the officers of the
Bank of Watertown occurred on Thurs
day last, December l, when Edward
j. Brandt retired from the cashier
ship and was succeeded by Frank E.
Woodard. Mr.. Brandt retains con-
nectlon with the bank as director and
second vice-president, and will parti-
cipate to certain extent in the man
agement The active responsibilities,
however are now in the hands of Mr..
Woodard, whose ripe business expert
ence and wide acquaintance aptly
qualify him for his new position.
Mr.. Brandt has been associated with
the Bank of Watertown for twenty-one
years, entering the service as office
boy and steadily advancing to the
cashlership, which Office he filed for
the past fifteen years. His manage
ment OF the institution has been uni
formly successful and his record is one
of which any banker might we'll be
proud. At all times he has enjoyed
directors and the commercial public.
Mr.. Brandt retires in order that he
may devote more time to his other ex-
tensive and growing business interests.
Mr.. Woodard's retirement from &C
tive duties with the Woodard & Stone
company comes after a continued SER
vice of many years, his Jealous, eff
cient and untiring labors contributing
much to the success achieved by that
! well-known establishment His share
, in the management of the company is
assumed by William G. Stone, and the
clerical duties have been distributed
| among the balance of the office force

Lewis Benson, Robert Fargo and
W. d. Stacy were appointed COM
mittee by the county board to appear
before the next session of the state
board Of equalization and endeavor to
secure a reduction in the equalized
valuation Of this county as made by
the state board. If the committee
takes the right action it ought to be
successful in its efforts. Milwaukee
and other counties annually send rep
resentatives before the state board
and in order that our interests should
be protected we should do likewise.
Last year Milwaukee county secured
a reduction of 5000, 900, and that,
too, when anybody who has ever
studied the equalization of the state
knows that Milwaukee county was not
high enough. The time will come
when the interior counties of the state
will combine and place Milwaukee
where she ought to be. We hope the
special committee will do it's work
well.-Jefferson Banner.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

What is the use Of making a better ar
tlcle than your competitor if you can not
get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only the
better one.

The Slight Estate

ters in the estate of John P. Slight.
deceased, were heard before Judge
Grimm the fore part of the week.
VIM. I. Slight, son. claimed one Of
the farms of 154 acres by virtue of
parol gift and claimed adverse possess
sion for twenty years. John P. Slight
in his will again gave the farm to his
son, charging it with $4,000 lien for
one Mrs. Annie Hawkes.. After testi-
mony given and arguments made, the
court held that possession for the
twenty years was only permissive and
that John P. Slight, deceased, never
parted title until his will was admit
ted to probate and Judgment assigning
estate was made in accordance with
the will. Harlow Pease appeared for
the executrix and Spooner, Sanborn
& SpOOner for the son.

Superintendent ]. T. Flavin.

The Oconomowoc, Republican pays
our esteemed friend, John T. Flavin,
the following worthy tribute, and at
the same time advises him to take
unto himself a ife-partner. We are
certain that many good young
woman would be glad to share in the
ideal home life that Mr.. Flavin eniovs
at his picturesque country place just
north of this city:
''The teachers Of Dodge county are
to give Hon. j. T. Flavin reception
at Juneau, 'on Friday evening, the 9th
instant, to mark in pleasing way the
close of that gentleman's twenty-five
years of continuous service as super
lntendent of schools. This tribute of
respect is a spontaneous offering from
sincere friends, and is as richly de-
served as it is freely and gladly ten
dered. We know whereof we speak.
We have known Superintendent Flavin
personally and of his excellent educa-
tlonal work for more years than some
OF his young lady teachers will admit
they are years old. uperintendent
Flavin is welded to an educational
career; otherwise he is single. All
this goes to show that his personal as
we'll as his official record is excep-
tlonal In more than one respect. The
teachers of Dodge county cannot over
do what they have undertaken, but
they should not be permitted to do
the work all alone. No man in DODGE
county is more deserving of grateful
recognition for valuable services rem
dered than Superintendent Flavin.
Inc teachers owe much to him, the
patrons of the schools for the past
twenty-five years owe him more: but
those who owe him most are an entire
new generation of young men and
women who have been born, educated,
attained their majority and some of
them have married and have children
OF their own of school age since
superintendent Flavin assumed con-
trol of the schools in Dodge county.
Everybody who knows John T. Flavin
is proud of him, is proud of his success
full career, is proud to be classed
among his friends; but they do wish
he would get married if for no other
purpose than to break the monotony
OF peaceful, happy and useful life.''

the City in Cole Will Matter
DoingS of the Council.

Doings of the Council.
At last evenings meeting of the
common council, which was attended
by all the members, the joint commit
tees on finance and judiciary submit
ted their report on the claim of Har-
low Pease against the city for legal
services and expenses in the litigation
growing out of the will Of the late
John ". Cole. The committees rec
commended the allowance of the bill in
full, and the report was unanimously
adopted. The bill amounts in the ag-
gregate to $3,777,57, So, 500 of which
is for services, the rest for expenses.
Deducted from this total amount is
$540.82, the sum allowed by the coun-
ty court out of the estates income to
help defray expenses of litigation.
The balance due Mr.. Pease, therefore,
is $3, ,236.75, which was ordered paid
last night.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Alderman jacob and passed
unanimously:
Resolved, That the committee on
finance be directed and instructed to
make it their duty to see to it that all
the property of the late John w.
Coles estate in which the city of Wa
tertown is interested is kept in a
proper state of repair; that the build
ings are kept insured in sufficient
amount and the annual taxes paid out
of the income of said estate by the
respective executors; and that said
committee make report of their do
ingS once in each year, and if neces-
sary oftener.
Alderman Brusenbach called the
councils attention to the fact that
some weeks ago the council issued an
order to Health Commissioners Field to
make a report as to the sanitary con-
dition, etc., of the alley in block II,
First ward. Thus far nothing had
| been heard from the commissioner,
and the alderman desired to know
why matters were allowed to be run
in that way. He wanted the mayor to
see that the councils orders were exc
| cuted and that the health commits

called to account. The mayor stated
that he would attend to the matter at
once.
The mayor appointed G. A. Vaughn
as school commissioner of the Seventh
ward, vice Edward DUNCAN, resigned.
The judiciary committee made a
report on the claim of G. E. Heyn for
damages resulting from his horse fall
ing into the sewer trench on West
Main street, recommending that a
settlement be made with the claimant
at $7.75, the amount of actual cash
expenditures created by the accident.
The report was adopted.
The sum of $50 was appropriated for
use of the city attorney for expenses
IN the suit of Z. 2. Koenig & Co. VS..
the city.
The monthly report of the city
treasurer showed a total on hand of
