The Planets.

Professor James E. Keeler of the AL leghany observatory, in a lecture de- clared that he did not believe that any of the suns satellites, except the earth, are inhabited. although there is remote possibility in the cases of Venus and Mars. He said: Nothing can be seen on the surface of Mercury and only vague markings on the surface of Venus. Of Venus we know nothing, except that it has dense atmosphere. In the case of Mars the evidence is not yet sufficient. We may suppose thss in time the larger planets will be fitted for supporting life as the earth is noS."

 The Best Inheritance.
 The hest inheritance young man can have is the feeling that he has to fight his own battle and that life is struggle into which he must throw body. mind and soul or be disgracefully worsted. Where are the burial places of the men who started life with fortune? Some of them i'll the potter's field, some in tho suicides grave. But few of these men reached 35 years of age. They drank, they smoked, they gambled. In them the beast destroyed the man. Some of them lived long enough to get their fortunes and went through them. The vast majority of them did not live to get their inheritance. From the gin shop or house of infamy they were brought home to their fathers house, and in delirium began to pick off loath- some reptiles from tho embroidered pill low and to fight back4maginary devils. And then they were laid out in highly upholstered parlor, the casket covered with flowers by indulgent parents flowers suggestive of a resurrection with no hope.
 As you sat this morning at your breakfast table and looked into the faces of your children, perhaps you said within yourself: "Poor thingsl How I wish 1 could start them in life with u competencel How I have been disap- pointed in all my expectations of what I would do for them!" Upon that scene of pathos 1 break with pBan of con- graduation, that by your financial losses your own prospects for heaven and the prospect for the heaven of your children are nightly improved.

ARRIVAL OF THE THIRD REGIMENT.
Seven companies Of the Third Wis
consin volunteers, who arrived in New
York last Wednesday evening, from
Porto Ricu, arrived in Milwaukee at 10
O'Clock last Sunday evening, and were
welcomed by about 1000 people, who
had gathered at the Union depot to
greet them as the special train pulled
in. The boys were cheered time and
again, and after they had been congrat-
ulated by their friends, were marched
over to the Plankinton house and the
st. Charles hotel, where dinner was
served them. At 11:30 o'clock they
left the hotels, spent an hour or more
about the city, then returned to the de-
pot. At 8 o'clock Monday morning the
special left Milwaukee bearing the sol
diers, and they coon arrived at their re-
spective homes. The companies whose
destinations were the northern cities oil
the state were transferred to the North
western road on the arrival of the regi
mental traio in Chicago, and they were
taken to their homes through the cen.
trail part of the state.

REPUBLICANS, VOTE NEXT TUESDAY

REPUBLICANS, VOTE NEXT TUESDAY.
A heavy fine should be the penalty
imposed upon the individual who, with
out good and sufficient reason, fails to
exercise the highest and fundamental
duty of citizenship. Two weeks ago The
existing indifference in all parts Ut the
state indicated almost universal failure
to comprehend the magnitude OF the
issues at stake. Today that apathy has
largely disappeared, interest is awak-
ened, genuine enthusiasm is evident.
The democrats deliberately avoid any
stand on national questions. They re-
fuse to discuss, not only, but purposely
dodge every issue that affects our life as
a nation. They say state issues only,
are at stake. These are of vital import
ance, but part Of the whole only. The
party which drops national issues is not
worthy of confidence in state govern
ment for any purpose on any question.
No president before or since Lincoln
has exhibited the sincerity and wisdom :
the unfailing and acknowledg ed belief
in the guiding hand of Supreme
Ruler-and in the ultimate wisdom of
the American people as William Nc.
Kinley.
The problems which now and in the
future demand the wisest counsel and
the utmost and purest patriotism are at
our doors. Admitting with pride and
ungrudgingly that the war with Spain
has wiped out all lines of demarcation-
north and soush-democra and republi-
can have been and are one in the purest
patriotism-yet withsl the president
and the country need, and badly need,
republican house and senate to per-
petuate and carry to its final issue good
sound republican policy, home and
foreign. That means prosperity and
nhpplnees TO Int nation.
Congressman Babcock, the state and
county tickets must have ycur united
support. Never within the writer's
memory has county ticket,so uniformly
good as the present, been our privilege
to vote. However strongly and con-
ecientiously any republican may oppose
any individual on the ticket, he must
remember he owes duty to his nation
and state which he cannot and must not
shirk by keeping away from the polls
rnd allowing the whole ticket to 60 by
default. Be men! Be Americana!

republicans are likely to elect ten or
twelve. The republicans will therefore
need to elect about forty OF the assembly

of electing only forty members OF the
assembly, that they viii elect from sew
enty to eighty. Democratic prospects

The position of county clerk is the
most important, taking all things into
consideration, of any Office in the county.
Every legislature adds some new duty
to be performed by that officer until now
be ought to combine the knowiedga of
a constitutional lawyer together vita
the other essential qualifications. The
clerk of great and growing county
like Vernon needs be a resourceful man
one we'll educated, courteous. prompt,
steady. reliable in Judgment. a ready
and Iegible penman. The fact that he
is clerk of the board Of supervisors re-
quires quickness and accuracy in record
ing the proceeding of that body, and he
must be good public reader. Much
depends on the length of annual meet
ings OF the board, on the ability of the
clerk to expedite matters. All these
qualities and qualifications will be recog-
nized and realized in the republican can
didate for this important office of county
clerk, MIR. Don SHERMAN. Our nominee
is young man, twenty nine years OF
age, a native OF the staunch republican
town Of Forest. By his own efforts Mr.
Sherman worked his way through the
public schools end attended the Hills
bcro high school. For eleven years,
during the fall, winter and spring months,
Mr.. Sherman taught successfully, spend
ing the summers on his farm in the town
OF Hillsboro. He was on his second
years work at the head of tho grammar
departments of the Viroqua schools
when nominated for the office 10 which
he will be elected next Tuesday. Mr..
Sherman has been active in institutes,
summer schools and other educational
gatherings for several years. He filled
acceptably the office of town clerk of
Hillsboro for several years, and will thus
bring familiarity in considerable degree
to the position of the larger clerksbip.
Education is the corner stone to every
thing worth striving for and possessing
in this life. 1t is the desire for know
ledge that causes young men and women
to sacrifice health and pleasure to ttain.
Fathers and mothers toll, deprive them
selves OF comforts and worldly Injuries,
in order to give their offsprings the ad
vantage of education. Then how essen
tial it is that there should be at the
head Of our educational forces one who
has brsved the trials, made sacrifices and
overcome obstacles to fit himself for his
chosen calling as teacher and educator.

and the man or woman who gives years
of energy and talent for the betterment
of the youth is worthy of crown. Yer
