]. H. VAN vLISSINGEN WILL BUILD
THE CONNECTING LINK.
PLANS ARE ALREADY MADE
Waukegan People Seem - Think the
Franchise Question is Settled in this
City aud are Arranging for to Con
meet the Two Cities.

Waukegan is evidently counting
great deal on the ordinance recently
passed by the Kenosha Council grant
ing the M. r. & z. company a fran
chise and the work of making the
connecting link between the two cities
will be undertaken by j. Fl. Van Wis
singer, of Chicago. In speaking OF the
matter the Sun says:
j. 81. Van Vlissingen is here again.
As on all other occasions he is here on
business. That's his motto, and he
never loses sight of it. In fact his
motto sometimes loses sight of him.
Since the Sun announced last summer
the real object of Mr.. Van Vlissengen's
frequent visits here, the end all his
efforts are tending to accomplish, that
of supplying the connecting link be-
tween the Chicago and Milwaukee and
| the M. r. & Il. electric railroads at
Waukegan and KenOsha, the public
has had a glad hand for him. He Is
considered a pretty good fellow now
adays, and since his apparent hold-up
condemnation proceedings across the
E. j. q E. proposed slip territory have
been dismissed, public opinion has
shifted in his favor.
Kenosha," said reporter to Mr.
Van Vlissengen, " has passed an or
dinance so long sought for, and not
withstanding the repeal, it is thought
the M. r. & K. road will get through
that city. Now who is going to supply
the missing link?"
Later he replied: [ am, that's what
I am here for" A roll of maps and
documents under his arm indicated
that he is in for the project OF connect
ing the two roads for all he is worth
az am in for the project with renewed
vigor. The recent developments have
brought the time when the two roads
must be Joined, nearer. The object o
this visit is to confer with the private
parties who control some of the lane
between this city and the state line
over which We have not secured oul
right of way as yet. There is nothing
much to be said about the proposition
yet"
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Van Wis
singer has considerable of the right o
way between this city and the STATE

THE CLOVER CROP LOST.
How Shall the Farmers Replace the
Crop.

How Shall the Farmers Replace the
Crop
The clover crop of southern Wiscon-
sin is a total failure. Every mail
brings letters from farmers asking how
to provide pasture for their stock, and
to most quickly recover from the severe
shock entailed by such loss.
How to Get the Quickest Pasture.
A field of oats or barley will furnish
the quickest. pasture it is possible to
obtain, barley being little earlier
than oats. Sow oats or barley as for a
grain CROP aud when the young plants
are a few inches high, turn in the stock
and treat the field as though it were a
pasture. If the cattle do not Craze the
field evenly, run the mower over the
patches where thesgrowth is excessive.
By keeping the growth short it will
last much longer than if allowed to
head out. It is recommended that, as
an experiment, 8 clover and timothy
seed be sown with a part at least, of
the oats or barley, in the hope of secur-
| ing stand ! for next season. The
farmer who can pasture his oat or bar
ley field and get a crop of clover started
at the same time, will be one year
ahead. This recommendation must be
regarded as an experiment, but it has
been successfully tried in number Of
cases.
oats and Peas.
Let the farmer also put in patch OF
oats and peas. Sow bushel and half
of peas per acre, covering three or four
inches deep on light soil and one or two
inches on heavy soil. After these are
planted SOW or drill the oats in the
usual manner. Cut the green forage
for the cattle or cure for hay.
Mtllet.
For winter hay SOW millet or Hun
garian grass from the 10th to the Both
of June, using from bushe!tO bushel
and half of seed per acre. When the
seed heads are coming into blossom,
cut and cure for hay. Millet or Hun
garian grass will yield from one to two
and half tons of good quality of hay
per acre. Horses should not be given
over one feed of millet hay per hay.
Corn Fodder
Any variety of corn will Go for green
or dry forage, the early kinds being
the most suitable for early fall feed,
Sweet corn is very satisfactory because
the stalks are soft and palatable.
Plant in hills or drills just thick enough
to choke the ears down to about hall
their normal size. Begin feeding as
soon as the ears are glazing and con-
tinue with the dry forage throughout
the winter. From three to six tons pei
acre of winter forage, suitable for al
kinds of farm stock, can be secured
from a corn crop grown on good land
Last season the farmers of southern
Wisconsin secured fer the first time in
several years a good " catch" of clover
Its loss is little short of calamity
Let no one be discouraged, however, OF
part with his live stock, but rather lei
him, by careful foresight and unusua
effort, bridge over the short period o
difficulty.

Incidentally, Senator Reynolds was
placed in an unfair position during the

declares he never authorized such a

Principal of the Academy.


Principal of the Academy.
The marriage of Charles Henry Cam
bridge, principal of the Pescham academy,
and Miss Ethel Margaret Dack, one of the
popular young ladies of Peacham, was cele-
brated June 2S in the Congregational
church in that town.
The church was prettily decorated with
ferns, lilies, syringa blossoms and roses.
One particular feature of the decorations
that was very effective was small bou-
quet on the top of each pew, at the end.
The ceremony was in the Episcopal
form and was performed by Rev. Walter
Cambridge of Southboro, Mass, brother
of the groom, assisted by Rev. j. X. Will
liams. The bride was charmingly gowned
in blue liberty satin, trimmed with white
silk and pearl trimmings. Her tulle veil
was caught up at the head with pearls and
smilax. The maid of honor was Miss Alb
bic Dack, sister of the bride, who was
dressed in white and carried a bouquet of
pond lilies. The bridemaids were Miss
Therea Morrison Of Ryegate, and Miss
Elsie Choate of Peacham, who wore
dresses of white and carried bouquets of
roses. The best man was Claude Butter
field of Springfield. Jacob Trussell, uncle
vi tue oIluei gave heI away hN usHeiS
were Dean Rowe of Dartmouth college,
Willie Williams of Williams college, Laurie
Morrison of the Burlington Medical school,
and Isaac Waite Choate, who is attending
the academy, all pupils of the groom.
Mrs. F. E. Palmer presided at the organ
during the ceremony. The relatives and
few friends were invited to Jacob Trusselrs,
the home of the BRIDE where they were
treated to a bountiful dinner. Mr.. aud
Mrs. Cambridge received many beautiful
wedding gifts. They went to Montpelier
during the afternoon and from there TO
Mr.. Cambrdge's old home in Grafton,

D'Ennery's wit.

D'Ennery. the French dramatist, after
the performance of one of his plays at
the Tuileries, "How did your heroine
get the poison that was so necessary for
the denouementf" "Ah, your males
~. said D'Ennery, "that's just what
I've never succeeded in getting her to
tell. "
Another time the directors of the
alter where his drama, "The Two Or
phans, was being rehearsed, asked him
what he was dissatisfied with. "Oh,
he replied, sits only that each of you
has got an imbecile for partner.

The impression that this is the last year
of thecentury persists with extraordinary
tenacity, but it is surprising to find An
drew Lang speaking of it thus, as he does
in the London Chronicle. There is also a
popular Misrepresentation that next year
will be leap year, because 1896 was one.
Ordinarily every fourth year is a year of
1856 daGs, but as that doesEnot quite make
our year keep time with the solar system,
it was provided by the Gregorian calendar
that the last year of every century should
be a common year unless it is a multiple
of 400. Thus 1900 was a leap year, but
100 and 1900 were. common years, and so
will be 1900. The year 2000, however,
will be leap year unless a new revolution
gives us new calendar, such as France
had from 1893 to 1905. Even the French
savants, however, felt obliged to borrow
the Gregorian system of bissextlle years.
