is strong probability that Ladysnitl
will be compelled to capitulate before
Gen. Butler can reach It with his re-
inforc ements. On the whole the as
pect of affairs IS gloomy in the ex-
IRENE so far as Great Britain is con-
cerned, and not amazingly roscate
from the standpoint of the Beers
themselves The affair looks very
much like fight to the finish. The
preparations Of the British govern
ment are so offensive that they leave
no doubt of ,Britain's determination TO
push the war to a successful issue at
any cost, while the attitude of Dom
Paul and his people, the determination
and sagacity with which they have
prosecuted hosti1ities thus far, and
their man st hatred of their enemies
are equally convincing thatwhi1e there
remains an able bodied Boer with arms
and ammunition, the British will have
to fight When the object is gained it
will have cost the victorss all and more
than tits worth.

The entire community was shocked
last evening by the announcement of
the death of William Schee1, the well
known Hotel Grant barber. Mr.. Schee1
had been i'll for only short time and
sudden death came as hard blow to
his friends and relatives. On Thurs
day afternoon the deceased was suRel~
ing from an attack of rheumatism and
went to his home on Wisconsin St. He
did not work yesterday bnt told the
other men at the shop that he thought
he would be able to be down this even
ing to assist them with the Saturday
rush. About nine O'Clock last evening
he became considerably worse than he
had been during the day and he called
his wife to the bed to give him some
medicine He turned to her and COM
planned of pain in his lungs. A mo-
ment later he fell over on the bed and
to be in a spasm. Mrs. Schee1
was greatly alarmed and shouted to
one of the neighbors who at once sum
moned Drs. Harbert and Pugh. When
the doctors arrived they. announced
that the barber had been dead for
some time. The sudden death is sup
posed to have resulted from rheuma-
tism of the heart.
The death of William Schee1 will
cause a great deal of sorrow about the
city. 'Bi11y'' came to Kenosha about

that he made him his friend. There
was blunt, open way about the barDer
that made him a friend of every
one. Never without a smile or a joke
he was a great favorite with the peop1e
who were accustomed to stop at the
hotel and many Of the travelling d en-
will be greatly panied to hear Of his
sudden death.
Mr.. Schee1 was born in Pennsylvania
and was about % years of age. He is
survived by his wife, who has the SYM

THE more we know about Admiral

course we have always admired him
since he whipped the Spanish at Ma

down to where you can actually look
upon him as human like the rest of us.

Our state convention for the selection
of delegates to the national convention
should be held not later than March.
There are important questions Of
party policy that even if no action
is taken upon by the convention,
would to a degree be settled by the
discussion and exchange of opinion
at such a meeting. The call for this
convention should also include the
reorganization of the state committee.
The summary removal of Secretary Tip
ton for no apparent cause, and after his
excellent and in every way efficient ser
vice in that capacity for years, and the
presence on the committee of one whose
character is such that he gives
the whole committee a bad name, if no
other reasons could be found, makes this
reorganization necessary, for the success
of the coming campaign. A convention
called for that purpose and a committee
thus selected fresh from the people
would have their cofdence and could
from the very nature of things do mere
efficient work. The VOICE makes this
suggestion. What do others say?

further facts that the people, rightly Oh
wrongly, believe the public franchise:

The following from Chief Justice
Doster in the final decision in the Ag.
ricultural College Case is like everything
else that comes from his pen, sensible,
forcible and to the point. In his dis.
senting opinion, Chief Justice Doster
says:
These charges are trivial. They
were made and prosecuted as everybody
knows, for the purpose of ousting the
officers named, and thereby gaining DO
litical control of one of the EDUCATIONAL
institutions of the state. They were not
made and prosecuted for the purpose of
advancing the interests of the institution,
but were conceived and prosecuted in
that spirit Of malignant partisanship
which is the curse of American politics
and they do but provoke a retaliatory
assault when the trembling balance Of
political majolities in this state shall 90
the other way. They were made and
prosecuted to subserve the ends of Office
for politicians and not of education for
the youth. Similar charges and proceed
ings by the office seeker of my party
shall never have countenance by me; nor
will be deferred from denouncing those
made and conducted by my political
opponents as causeless, wicked and des.
picable."

The spectacle of a state legislature
wrangling for whole session over the
election of a United States senator
and for the air tobe filled with
rumors of bribery has come to be quite
common. -Four men, Talierro of Flor
ida, Quay of Pennsylvania, Scott of
West Va, and Clark of Montana, are
each charged with bribery and corrupt
practices and must establish the right to
the seat they claim. The evidence seems
to be overwhelming, that no one of the
four is entitled to seat. A majority of
the senators are either millionaires or are
recognized as the direct representatives
of some great corporation or both, as is
the case with both senators from New
York. This is one of the most apparent,
but by no means the worst of the evils
resulting from representive govern
ment. Direct legislation and election OF
all officers by direct vote Of the people
is the only remedy.

Republican Assessments.

Although Boss Richards failed to get
his slate nominated at the Republican
county convention he got lIs work in
through the committee on the candidates
in the shape of an unreasonably heavy
assessment, liberal portion of which is
left ever for next year. These candi-
dates for county Offices have been held
up by the boss for funds to carry on the
next national campaign and make it
that much easier on his postofice and
other appointees. J.W. Showalter, an
old man and cripple, was assessed SO;
Dan Holiday had to put up SIIo to the
committee while S. H. Cobean, who was
the only one on the Richards slate nom
mated, was let off with $50; W. S. Mel
son was assessed $50; T. A. Mayhem,
candidate for coroner, was assessed $40,
which is probablymore than he will get
out of the Office during his term. The
committee report: Receipts $36S.6e; ex.
penditures. $79S.2s; balance on hand,
$7o.44.
The largest amount paid by any fusion
candidate to the committee was f3s
Receipts of the committee were s221,
and expenditures $aI6.4a. A boss come:
little high to those not in his good
graces-is an expensive luxury; but is q

DO not fail to send to the Agricultural
college at Manhattan, for the circular
Farmers Short Course" January ) tc
"a. Your 10y or your neighbor may be
able to attend. From it we quote the
following:
Such training pays. Putting his
knowledge of crop production and bot.
any together, one Of our students, by a
simple method of crossing, has increased
his yield Of corn ten bushels per acre.
Wheat experiments conducted at this
college for eighteen years show that
proper preparation before seeding in
creases the yield forty per cent. Steers
fed the ordinary ration fatten in from
hve to seven months; on a balanced
ration they are ready for market in from
eighty to 100 days, and feeder who
knows how can produce a balanced
ration as cheaply as the ordinary one.
The college purchased half of farmers
herd of hogs, taking a fair average of
the lot. We fattened these hogs in fifty
days while The farmer, doing the best he
could, marketed his in IIo days. We
spent less for feed and had risk from
disease for less than half the time. By
feeding alfalfa hay with grain to fatten-
ing hogs the college secured S6S pounds
of pork per ton Of hay fed. 1t pays to
know what type of animal gives best
results for feed consumed. In 1898, a
scrub COW of the dairy type gave the
college milk worth S4o.37 above cost Of
feed, while another scrub not of the
dairy type yielded milk during the year
worte So43 less than her feed. Steers Of
the beef type required one-half the feed
consumed by steers not having a beef
form to make pound of gain. Come
and study animal form as an index to
feeding qualities. On many farms in a
single year the cost of taking this course
could be saved by the knowledge gained
in our carpenter and blacksmith shops.
Inoculation is an almost sure preventive
of blackleg and hog cholera. Students
taking the Farmers Short Course per-
form the work of inoculation in the
college feed lots.
"If man is to manage his own farm
there can be no question but that it will
pay, and pay well, to take the Farmers
Short Course. If he is without capital
and must work for others, it will pay
him equally as well to take this course.
We have many calls for farm foremen,
herdsmen, creamery and skimming-sta-
ton men, managers of fruit farms and
nurseries, and greenhouse foremen. The
calls are all made for active, pushing
men with college training"
