PRESIDENT HARPER, of the Chicago
University, is authority for the state
ment that three of the students of the
university literally died of starvation
during the last year. This is an evi
dence of the extravaganza of ambi-
ton. Young fellows who are not able to
pay the expenses of a college course
are trying to struggle through by doing
double work and living on the scanti-
est rations. 1t is question whether
this kind of business pays. In order
TO do justice to oneself and the institu-
ton with which he is connected stud
ent should first look after his own
health. Without that most efforts are
futile. The performance of the duties
imposed upon the student by the
requirements of his curriculum are
great enough to require ali of his
strength and energies, if those duties
are properly attended to. Even to
those whose means are adequate to
provide the proper nourishment a
severe course at school frequently
results disastrously. Health and
strength are far more essential to a sue
cessful life in whatever sphere, than a
higher education. Where one demands
the sacrifice of the other the first con-
sideration should always be health

all who knew or have had aught to do

his sojourn in our midst. The letter
and reply are as follows:
Letter From Bar.
To Hon. Anthony Van Wyck, County
Judge of Kenosha County:
The members of the Kenosha county
bar, on the approach of the termina-
ton Of your long and faithful term as
judge of the county court of Kenosha
county, desire to express their regret
at the loss of SO able judge and that
they shall no longer have the pleasure
of practicing before you.
We deeply feel the impending loss OF
one who has for SO many years presided
as our county Judge, with ability, learn
ing and integrity; one whose ripe
knowledge Of the law has enabled him
to conduct the court with dignity, cor
rectness and dispatch; one whose keen
sense of justice and right has so per-
meated his decisions as to almost bar
appeals and render the same to the
unknown, thus saving thousands OF
dollars to litigants; one whose courte-
Gus manners and gentle words have
brought peace and comfort to many a
widow and orphan at the time when
most needed; one whose sterling integ-
rity and conscientious examinations
and Investigations have placed halo
of security over hundreds of homes
and millions of dollars worth of prop
erty in Kenosha county; one whose pa
thence, perseverance and forbearance
have driven fear from the heart OF
many a young attorney and COM
handed the respect and confidence OF
the older practitioners; one whose
fearless unfolding of the right and
condemnation of the wrong have been
at all times a pillar of strength to the
estates which were passing through
his court.
We feel that the above are but few
of the many attributes which so amply
qualify you for judgship; that the
pen of man cannot depict the blessing
which a wise and honest administra-
ton of Justice brings to the people;
the results of such continue and even
spring into life long after those who
participated therein have received
their reward from one whose judgments
are never erroneous.
The people of Kenosha county have
no other office to fill of equal import
ance with that of county judge, and
the man who performs it's duties as the
present incumbent has done is deserv-
ing of the highest respect of all, and
has built monument for himself
which shall far outlast the marble col.
umn.
We assure you that we deeply regret
the loss from the bench of one whose
services are nearly indispensable and
one before whom causes may be taken
with such assurance of able and just
Investigations. Kindly shall be the
memories of the past and our best
wishes shall at all times 60 with your
future. Very sincerely,
Peter Fisher, James Cavanagh,
A. E. Buckmaster, Henry j. Hastings,
Myron A. Baker, John c. Slater,

Members of the Kenosha County Bar:
Your kind. and eloquent letter ex-
pressing your favorable appreciation OF
my services as County Judge during my
long term of office, and ofyour regret on
the severance of relations which have
existed for so many years between US,
has been very gratefully received. 1t
was handed me on the cars on my way
southwark too late for an immediate
reply. The delay you will kindly
excuse.
Nothing could be more gratifying to
me than this assurance that | leave
YOU with the confidence and approval
you so kindly express. shall ever
cherish it among the most valued
mementos of my life.
L scarcely dare appropriate to myself
the highly commendatory expressions
YOU so generously use and must accept
them rather as your favorable estimate
of my sincere endeavors than your
verdict on the value of services, the
worth of which time only can prove.
You will be assured that whatever sat-
isfaction may have attended my efforts,
/ recognize most cordially and CRATE
fully the generous aid which the Bar
by its intelligence, learning, courtesy
and general aim to secure the right,
have uniformly rendered me.

the Office Of coroner was declared vacant
and O. 81. Carhart was appointed to fill
the vacancy. John MCGUIRE was ap-
pointed overseer of highways for the
First road. district, and 81. J. Braan. and
JIG. Montferrand were re-sppointed for
the Second and Third road districts,
respectively. Ben SCOTT was re-appoint.
cd janitorof the court house.
The county attorney was instructed
to look up the matter OF fees allowed
oounty commissioners for committee
work on roads and bridges. In this re-
gard Commissioner EEaelson said that
although their fees for such services were
fixed by law at three dollars per day and
ton cents per mile, the commissioners, of
their own -volition, had reduced their
fees for such services to two dollars per
day with no charge for milage. Notwith-
standing this, Mr.. Engelson said, when
tho commissioners perform the duties by
law required Of them there are some per-
sons who complain that they do such
work for the sole purpose Of drawing q
little extra pay. The;particular instance
to which he referred was the inspection
Of the Poplar river bridge recently: The
bridge was built by contract therefore it
was necessary that it should be inspected
before the bills Of the contractors could
be allowed by the board. In view of
sucn @kicking" Mr.. Engelson said that
he proposes that hereafter the commits
s,oners .shall have their lawful fees for
the services required Of them. We ven-
ture the assertion that the .kickers" to
whom Mr.. Engelson referred are mer,
who pay but very little, il any. taxes in
the county and who, if placed in the
Same position, would by the last TO re-
duce thor own tees. s.s

turn home to be present at the cproner's
