The New York Democrats have a
good chance of carrying the state
this fall because Of the way the
canal scandal has Aattencd out the
Republican party. The Republican
leaders realize it and that is the real
reason they so generally favor the
Roosevelt candidacy as a fsrlorr
hope. But the free silver Demo.
Gratis are doing their best for Plat,
and his gang by insisting that IS to
I and the whole Chicago platform
must be endorsed.

The Democrats made a gain for
governor in Tuesdays election and
elected thirtv-three representatives.
Only eleven were seated the last off
year. The question of high license
has been one of the leading issues,
it indeed it was not the chief issue
upon which the voters swung one
way or the other, and the fact that
the prohibition vote shows falling
off of over 50 per cent is one Of the
surprises of the election.

A plllow.case For The Soldier.

Some veteran Of the civil war sug-
gests a pillow case as useful article
to send to the soldiers in the field. The
suggestion is made as the result of ex-
perience. When lying down to sleep
a fellow needs something under his
head to raise it above the level of the
ground. Perhaps this necessity arises
from habit to some extent, but habit
becomes perenptory in many instan-
ces. During marches on campaigns
it was the custom for a man to take
off his shoes to better rest his feet at
night and to use them for a pillow
in the absence of better one. They
were little more yielding than rock
but poor substitute for feathers. II
one had small sack which he could
FIJI with leaves or grass-that could be
readily found-at night it would an
swer an excellent purpose for a com
Portable pillow. The case should be
made Of strong, lightweight material
and perhaps about IS inches long by y
inches wide when filed to the proper
thickness

President parker,s RESIGNATION.

w. d. Parker has asked the Board
Of Normal Regents to accept his res
ignation as president Of the Fourth
Normal School, pleading i'll health as
occasion for the request and reason
why it should be granted. The added
burdens incident to the burning Of
the school building, compelling the
necessity for providing means and
facilities for the conduct Of the school
under almost insurmountable diff
culties since last November, have
broken in upon the reserve energies of
his vigorous constitution. In March
the nervous strain was SO great that he
took a weeks vacation in the East in
the hope Of relief and again after the
close Of school, with his wife he went
to idaho for recreation and recupera-
ton. Still the nervous tension is 2,
little relieved that he feels himself in
an unfit condition TO meet, with salts
faction to himself and justice to the
people, the multiplied duties that the
reorganization Of the faculty and the
induction and adaptation Of the
school into the new building demand.
The people do not take kindly to the
loss Of President Parker's abilities to
the school,aud a petition is in circula-
tion asking him to reconsider his res
ignation and continue at the head Of
the River Falls Normal The petit
ton viii be signed by every man,
woman and child to whom it is pre-
scnted. as all recognize that in the
success Of this school Mr.. Parker has
been the all powerful factor.

The interior Of the Baptist church
presents very pleasing and inviting
aspect since its renovation. The
chimney was too small to admit of
proper draught and the smoke from
the furnace had badly discolored the
walls of the auditorium The chin
ney was taken down and rebuilt on
the vest end Of the building with a
larger hue which is considered ample
for the purpose demanded. Some
other changes were needed in the
the building which have been made TO
the convenience and symmetry Of the
house. The choir room over the rear
Of the platform has been closed in
front. a small room on the south add
ed to its area for use as class room
for the Sunday school, to be occupied
by a class who speak the Swedish lam
ruage. The walls Of all the rooms
have been adorned in a very appropri-
ate and artistic manner with paper
of sober design. the woodwork cleaned
and vanished and carpets replaced on
the floors.

Nnxio,ls Weeds.

The commissioner Of noXious weeds
has been the rounds Of his jurisdiction
and read the law to resident denizens
commanding them to eradicate all OBJ
noXious weeds from the area of their
domain and habitat. This duty is re-
peated annually. weeds are cut and
prevented from seeding as much as
possible and yet no one can fail to no
tice the increase Of weed pests all over
the country. Not only do those OF
earlier invasion increase and multiply
but new ones are constantly making
their appearance. The law taboos
Canada thistle. burd0ck, teasel, white
or oX-eye daisy, snap dragon, cookie
burr, sow thistle, sour dock, yellow
dock, mustard, wild parsnip, and Rus
sian thistle. The most prevalent Of
the aforementioned weeds in this To-
cality are the burdock, yellow dock,
and the wild mustard. Wild mustard
is the thickest and most widely diff
fused When moved off the stubble
sends out new shoots and these seed
so near the ground they cannot he
caught with scythe. There is
small patch of ox-eye daisy in the first
ward that threatens to seed the adj
joining fields and eventually to be-
come widely distributed. 1t is the
only instance Of this nuisance we have
seen in the state. Those who are IA
miliar with the daisy in New England
meadows will realize the necessity Of
preventing its gaining habitat in
this region With Watchfulness and
care this patch can be exterminated.
Another weed pest is ginning posses
sion Of the country here which Wiscon-
sin law does not recognize, but which
in states further east is acknowledged
as a nuisance the wild or prickly let
tuce Many people do not know it by
that name, and some call it species
of thistle as it has prickles on the
leaves. 1t grows several feet high and
has fluffy seeds that are readily trans
ported by the wind. 1t already occu-
pies a wide area and has evidently
come to stay.
