TWENTY=FIFTH ANNIVER SARY.
"A Ouarter-Century of Good Work by
Dodge County's School Superin-
tendent.

tendent.
In recognition OF his appreciable
services as superintendent of schools
OF Dodge county for the past twenty
five years, John L. Flavin-whom
everybody knows and who is every
bOdy's kind friend-was given a re-
ception at Juneau last Friday evening,
by the teachers of Dodge county
The affair took place in Congress hall,
the capacity of which was taxed to
the utmost by the clans Of pedagogues
and common folk who gathered to
pay their respects to the guest of
honor. 1t was essentially a Dodge
county event. but there were many
friends of Mr.. Flavin present from
other sections, his long association in
school work having gained him d
wide acquaintance throughout the
state.
Mr.. Flavin is one of the most promi-
nent educators of Wisconsin, and he
has been nothing if not highly success
full in the work he took up half-cen-
tury ago. Much of superintendent
Flavin's success is due to his interest
ing personality, bis affable manner
and his ability to organize and hold
together his forces for effective SER
vice. Perhaps in no county of the
state are better Institutes held than in
old Dodge. Mr., Flavin has the happy
faculty of securing nothing but the
foremost talent for conductors and
lecturers, and the good results are
plainly to be seen IN the efficient corps
OF country school teachers that he has
had in service almost without inter-
ruption the past twenty-five years.
AS a material token Of his emincntlv
successful career, Mr.. Flavin can point
with pride to the fact that he is the
only person in Wisconsin who has
CONT uOusly held an elective office
for so long a period.
As we'll beftting the occasion, the
following interesting literary program,
lnterSpersed with musical numbers by
the Ladies Quintette club of Juneau,
was arranged to follow the receptions:

IS ALUn POISONOUS?
! Whitens the Bakers Bread, but Plays
Havoc with the Stomach of the
Consumer.

Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an interior -four, and it is also en-
ployed as a cheap substitute for cream
of tartar in the manufacture of baking
powder. Its use in bread and baking
powder is very detrimental TO health,
producing dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation, and under certain condi-
tions of the human system results in
poisoning. What these conditions are
so far as each individual is concerned
can only be surmised: some peculiar
ity of the system producing morbid
change in the secretions of the stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the
secretions may be healthy but in alb
normal proportions, and these lesser
or greater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute a poison, just
as two parts Of mercury and two parts
of.chlOrine form calomel, which is not
poisonous, while one part of mercury
and two parts OF chlorine yield corros-
i've sublimate, which is a most deadly
poison

No New Insane AsyIums.

1t has been apparent for some time
that if the state board of control did
not take some action looking to the
stopping of the erection of new cOun-
ty insane asylums that those now
erected would none of them have any,
where near as many patients as the in
stltutlOns could accommodate. I'm
der the law no county insane asylum
can be erected without the consent of
the state board, and now this body
has called halt il the matter. 1t ap-
pears that Wood and Trempealeau
counties have recently asked sanction
OF the board to erect asylumS and that
others are cOntem plating making SINH
lar requests. The board states that
there is yet room in the county asy-
lums, including the one in Washing
ton county now nearly ready for in
mates, without und uly crowding any
Of them, for about 800 additional in
mates.
The increase of the insane in the
state for the past few years has been
about 100 per year, hence there seems
little danger that those institutions
will become crowded during the next
three years. Therefore the board
thinks it would not be good policy
to authorize the erection of any addi-
tlonal county asylums, unless it is
well understood that but few inmates
can be assigned to it. except those
chargeable to the county in which the
asylum is located. Preference in the
future will be given to counties in the
northern part of the state. Jefferson

tween Soron Hansen, of this city, and
Reinhold Schott, of Watertown, is now
assured. Schott's forfeit of $25, which
was posted with The Evening Wiscon-

covered by Hansen this morning, the
latter agreeing to meet every stipula-
tion named by Schott. The match is
to be two points down, catch -as-catch-
can style, best three in five falls, and
the match to take place in Milwaukee
within three weeks after the signing of

he will make this match for 5000 a

meet at The Evening Wisconsin office

Santiago, Cuba. July 1S.-The Ameri-

and General McKibbin has been ap-
pointed temporary military governor.
Amid impressive ceremonies the Span
ish troops laid down their arms be-
tween the lines of the Spanish and
American forces at 9 o'clock yesterday
forenoon.
General Shafter returned to General
Toral the latter's sword after it had
been handed to the American COM
mander. Our troops, lined up at the
trenches, were eye witnesses of the
ceremony. General Shafter and his
escort. accompanied by General Toral
rode through the city, taking formal
possession. The city had been sacked
before they arrived by the Spaniards.

only condition imposed was that he
should not destroy the existing forti-
fications and should leave his arms be-
hind. This later condition the Span
ish general, who does not speak En-
glish. explained through his interpre-
ter was impossible He said the laws
of Spain gave general no discre-
ton. He might abandon place when
he found ii untenable. but he could not
leave his arms behind without subject
ing himself to the penalty of being
shot. His government. he said. had
granted him permission to evacuate
Santiago That was all. Further than
that he could not go.
Thursday General Toral sent a COM
munication to General Shafter indicat-
ing his willingness to accept the terms
of surrender proposed and asked the
American commander to appoint COM
missioners to meet three Spanish COM
missionerS to arrange terms of surren-
der. The American commissioners ap-
pointed were Generals Wheeler ana
Lawton and Lieutenant Miley Inc
Spanish commissioners were Robert
Mason, British vice consul, and Gen.
eral Escarajao and Colonel Fontaine,
of the Spanish army.
General Shafter had transmitted to
Washington the request of General To-
raj that the Spanish prisoners be al
lowed to return with their arms to
Spain. The reply came In the shape OF
positive instructions to insist upon the
Spanish troops laying down their arms.
and to this General Toral was COM
PEELED to agree.
Our government agrees to transport
all the Spanish prisoners. numbering
$4,000, in neutral vessels to Cadiz or
some other Spanish port, and to pro-
vide them with food pending the en-
barkation and during the voyage.

AUGUSTA CANNOT SURRENDER.

VIII Resist Philippine Insurgents,
However Hopeless His Cause.
Hong Kong, July 19.-The following
adyices have Just ben received from
Manila, under date of July 10:
An important interview has Just been
held between General Aguinaldo's sec
rotary, Legarda, and prominent ma
tive white man. and the Spanish COM
mander, Captain General AuGustn.
The insurgents representatives urged
General AuguStin to surrender the city,
asserting that $4,000 insurgents sur
rounded Manila and were able to enter
it at any time. Thus far. they added,
the insurgents had been restrained
with difficulty, but If the Spaniards
continued stubborn the result would be
that the insurgents would be compelled
to lombard and storm the city, with
the inevitable slaughter. unparalleled
in history, because in the excitement
of battle they cannot discriminate.
Continuing, the captain generals Wis
itors advised him to disregard the Of
fetal fictions regarding alleged Span
ish victories in Cuba and reinforce
ments coming to the Philippines
islands, and proposed a reconciliation
between the Spaniards and the Philip
pinos, under republic flag, and a
joint endeavor to persuade the Anieri-
cans to abandon hostilities in the Phil
ippine islands. Finally the representa-
tives Of the insurgents proposed an ap-
peal to the powers TO recognize the in
dependence of the Philippine islands.
The captain general replied that he
must fight, however hopelessa the
Spanish cause.
Admiral Dewey is establishing a
more strict blockade lest it be invali-
dated by permitting neutrals to visit
Cavite and Nalabon and send and re-
ceive mails enclosing surreptitious
Spanish dispatches. He has threatened
to station warships opposite the city,
which might precipitate hostillties, as
the Spanish officers declare they will
certainly fire on any American within
range, regardless Of the consequences.
1t is now dennltely announced that
Colonel William j. Bryans regiment
will be ordered to join General. Lee S
corps as soon as it is ready to move.
For gallant services during the bat
tie of Manila, Admiral Dewey recon-
mends that the Chinese members of his
crews be admitted to United States
citizenship.
Both STANDARDS and Germans IN the
Philippines made overtures to Agui-
naldo, the insurgent leader, which
W declined.

The Pennsylvania will probably sail
some time today. No further troops
have been designated for future Manila
expeditions, and it now seems possible
that some of the troops here will be
sent east to join the invading army at
Porto Rico.
Meanwhile the matter of getting off
the remaining vessels of the Philippine
expedition is consuming the energies of
the forces at army headquarters. The
Rio Janeiro will probably sail on Thurs
day or Friday The work Of loading is
progressing rapidly. The six months
medical supplies and two additional
months supplies for the voyage are
being put on today. Efforts will be
made to get the st. Paul off by next
Monday and the Scandal, the govern
naent steamer which will also be used
on this expedition. as soon as possible.
Two battalons of the First South Da-
kota and the recruits for the Eight
zenith infantry will probably so on the
Rio Janeiro. The remaining battalion,
a South Dakota regiment, the Colorado
and Minnesota recruits and detach-
ment from the Signal corps will so TO
Manila on the st. Paul.

Santiago de Cuba, July 1S.-The week
preceding the surrender of Santiago
was replete with dilatory tactics on the
part Of the Spaniards. On Wednesday
of last week General Toral sent out a
reply to General Skaters second de-
mand for the surrender of the city, re-
iterating his determination to resist.
During the existence OF the truce Tor
ais forces were busily engaged in
doubling back his entertainments and
fixing his guns in the direction from
which he was threatened.
At a conference later between Cen
