Wisconsin Dairy School.

A new clrcnlar from the University
OF Wisconsin Dairy school, located at
Madison, is now being distributed
to those interested in this line of
instruction. A great many pictures
OF the students and their work are
given in the circular, together with
an outline Of the opportunities afforded
by this school for dairy instruction.
Most of the 780 students who have
attended the school during the past
eight years are creamery or cheese
factory operators who expect to COM
mence factory work in the spring
after they have taken the three winter
months instruction. In the last class
there were 32 students who had posi-
tions guaranteed them before coming
to the school, and six of these had
their expenses paid by some one for
whom they expected to work at the
close Of the term.
The schOOlcan accommodate 100 stu
dents and applications are already be-
ing received for the next term, which
begins November 29 and continues
twelve weeks. The daily work of the
students includes two lectures of one
hour each and four to six hours work
In the creamery, cheese factory or
pasteurizing room.
No entrance examination is re-
quired, but at least four months prac-
tical experience in a creamery or
cheese factory must be had before
joining us. In the last class there
were 45 who had worked from four
months to one year and Is for more
than one year in a creamery; 80 had
made cheese for four months to one
year, while 25 had worked in a cheese
factory more than one year. AS the
creamery and pasteurizing depart
ments of the work are in operation
during the entire year an opportunity
is then afforded for those with NO
previous experience to take our 'sfac-
tory pupil course and get the neces-
sary experience for entering the winter
term.
Last year the board of regents OF
the university reduced the fees for
resident students to. Sc, while non
residents must pay $32. Fifty-two dol
lars is an estimate of a students ex.
penses during the term.

Farmer Loses His Money.

On complaint of Thomas Mahonev,
farmer OF the town of Clyman, war
rants were issued Saturday by Justice
Henze for the arrest of Thomas O'Neil
and Herbert Gruetzmacher, the charge
being robbery. No trouble was ex-
perienced by Chief of Police Block in
apprehending ONeil and he was
placed behind the bars Saturday after
noon. Gruetzmacher, however, skipped
to Milwaukee, where the chief followed
him Sunday and engaged in an all-day
search for him, but without success.
His haunts were known, though, and
on Monday he fell into the hands Of
the Milwaukee police, who turned him
over to Chief Block and he was brought
here yesterday afternoon. Justice
Henze set the preliminary hearing of
the prisoners for September 13 and in
default of $500 bail each, they were
remanded to the county jail.
The complaint alleges that Mr..
Mahoney was robbed of $50 Friday
night by the two suspects and the po-
lice believe they have a good case
against them. Mahoney alleges that
he had in his possession $50 Friday
evening as he was about to depart for
his home from a North Third street
saloon. After getting into his rig he
was asked for a ride by two young
men, claimed to have been O'Neil and
Gruetzmacher. The request was grant
ed and upon the suggestion of the
strangers a keg of beer was secured,
after which, instead of heading for
Mahoney's home, the rig was driven
to the southern outskirts of the city,
where the beer was tapped and revelry
INDUCED in. Mahoney then fell asleep
and upon awakening in the morning
ascertained that his 500 was gone.
1t is understood that it can be proven
that Mahoney had nine so bills in his
pocket when he boarded his rig.

Brick Paving

Some items of interest concerning
the job of brick paving just finished
at Portage are given by The Register
of that city in the following item:
ut took III cars of vitrifed brick
for the construction of the new pave
ment which was completed yesterday
afternoon. About 100000 brick were
used and little less than fifteen days
were consumed in completing the
work. S. Braiey, OF Winona, Mimi,
who has been uperintending the job
showed his experience and did his
work in a very satisfactory manner.
Mr.. Braley in speaking of the crew
he had said that he never had a more
energetic lot of men than those en-
ployed here. The pavement he says
is a most substantial one and will out
live the present generation. Mr..
Braley left this afternoon for Kilbourn
where he will lay four cars of brick
for pavement around the city fountain
The exact cost of constructing the
new pavement is not known as yet.
but as soon as the bill can be audited
the cost will be made known

Welded Thirty Years.

Under the above caption The Grand
Forks On. d. Plaindealer prints the
following item concerning couple
well known here:
Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Sprague are
celebrating the thirtieth anniversary
of their wedding to-day by spin on
their bicycles from Marvel to Forest
River and then to Grafton. 1t is
doubtful if many of their Grand Forks
friends many years younger would be
able to celebrate their tenth annivers-
ary in that manner and keep up the
clip. Mr.. and Mrs. Sprague have a
host Of friends in Grand Forks and all
unite in the wish that thirty years
from now will see the Spragues enjoy
ing life and celebrating their sixtieth
anniversary with century run. The
Plaindealer wishes to add that more
hospitable home cannot be found than
that of the Spragues, and the ''Monte
Carlo" which ''Pa" sells, is the great
est ever cigar. Here's hope and happi-
ness to thea Spragues. May they live
to see the sun of an even hundred years
go down and still live on.

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION
Republicans in Quandary Over the
Nomination No Avowed
Candidates.

A peculiar condition of affairs con-
fronts the Republicans of the Second
Congressional district as regards the
nomination for representative this fall.
1t is now three weeks since Congress-
man Sauerhering announced his final
determination to withdraw from the
field, and only fortnight remains be-
fore the holding of the convention,
still no out and out candidate has made
his appearance. Several good fellows
who might worthily succeed Mr.. Sau-
erhering have been mentioned, - but
not one has come out with a formal
announcement. However, we cannot
believe that, with the bright prospects
of success for a new man, the nominal
ton will 60 abegging. Something
tangible ought to develop within the
next few days.
According to his published and au-
thOrized statement, Congressman Sau-
erhering is not to be considered in con-
nectiOn with this matter, and inasmuch
as no other Republican has come for
ward as an avOwed candidate, some
attention has been given the advisable
ity of nominating a Gold Democrat.
DIR. Jesse A. ClaSOn, of NeOShO, the only
Gold Democratic member of the last
assembly. is being urged into the field
as an available man, and while he is
generally acknowledged to be we'll
equipped and popular, some opposition
to him has been evinced and it is doubt
full if he could unite the Republican
factions. Besides, there are many who
think the nomination should not 90 to
Dodge county third successive time
and who believe in giving the other
counties show
Another gentleman lately brought
out as one who may be a candidate in
certain events is William G. Leitsch,
present mayor of Columbus. Two
years ago Mr.. Leitsch was a Gold
Democrat and worked zealously for
sound money and against the heresies
of the Chicago platform; but should he
! decide to enter the congressional con-
vention here the 21st inst as candi-
date for the nomination, he will do so
as straight Republican, strongly
ratifying the well-known principles OF
Republicanism and standing squarely
on whatever platform the convention
adopts. Mr.. Leitsch is a young man
OF recognized ability, one of the lead
ing attorneys of Colum bia county, and
possessing a large acquaintance. He
has the happy faculty of making friends
with all whom he meets, is a most
agreeable talker, and capable of put
ting up a hustling campaign. When
once known Mr.. Leitsch is admired
for his sterling good qualities and
there is hardly doubt but that he
could thoroughly unite every parcel of
the Republican party in this district.
In addition his candidacy would have
the hearty support of the Gold Demo
Gratis. Mr.. Leitsch was in Watertown
last Thursday, renewing old acquaint-
ances and forming new ones.

lar reason except dependency over
domestic affairs is assigned for the

his death the suicide had been en-
ployed as farm hand by Mr.. Gehrke,
who was his brother-in-law. He
received his wages here Saturday.
On Sunday afternoon he went out to
