The State Guard is provided for, and

The new election law is supplemented
by separate law for the elections in
towns, cities, counties and townships.
The Agricultural Department is re-
organized and all laws relating to it cod
flied, aud it is given power to establish
an immigration Bureau and elect a com

All these Qualifications of laws go far

The revenue law was prepared with
the greatest care and is probably the

pay for the deficit made by the fusion
list. and it has authorized the issue of
$4,000 in bonds for the purchase of cer-
tain leased farms, which the State has
greatly improved. The interest chargn
on these bonds falls upon the peniten-
tiary, and not the State, and is only
about one-half what tha rental Of the
land has been. In addition to this bord
issue an appropriation of $4,000 an
nually was made to run the penitentiary
for the next two years. Before this
was done, however. $1,000 was appro-
priated to meet the immediate necess;-
ties of the institution.
If Capt. Day wins in the courts,
though, neither the bond issue will be
made or the appropriation be available
for his use.
Many other important laws were pass
ed during the session, summary of
which has already been printed in this
paper. But not until the laws are print

and excellence of the work done by the
General Assembly of 1899 There can
be no doubt that il viii go down in
history as one of the wisest and most
conservative legislative bodies ever as

There will be an eclipse Of the
moon this month, on the evening
of December 10th, visible in all,
or a large part of it's du1 alton,
throughout the continents of the
world. 1t will be, strictly speak
ing, partial eclipse, although
barely one edge, the southern
limb, will Ebe left outside of the
total shadow of the earth at the
middle OF the eclipse. The moon
will rise a few minutes before the
sun sets and enter the earth's
shadow at 5:45. The middle of
the eclipse will be reached at T.
As. The middle of the eclipse
will be reached at 7'26, and the
moon will leave the shadow at
9:O7, thus making the whole du-
ration three hours and twenty
two minutes.
Weather Prophet Marsh, who
lives at W.nton Place, which is
somewhere around Cincinnati,
has come forward with his pre-
dlctlons for the month of Deem
Der, and says that the month is
destined to be severly cold with
prevailing storms and other dis
turbances. The Great Lakes, ac-
|cording to Mr., Marsh, as we'll
as the Atlantic ocean, Gulf of
Mexico and the coasts, will be
the scene of high gales between
the 8th and 10th, 18th and 18th,
Dist and 22d and 28th and 30th.
December 18th is to see severe
snow storms and cold waves
throughout Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Beginning Deem
Der II, and extending to the end
Of the month, there is to be an
extreme cold wave over the en-
tire country, and the east is to
have any number of blockades.
Marsh depends upon the planets
and relative positions principal

manson, lee. 8, ~
Information comes to che Ex-
pertinent Station that agents
are inducing Wisconsin farmers
to invest in patented devices for
raising cream on milk by the adj
ditlon of water to the fresh milk.
This system O cream raising is
not new and cannot bepatented,
though particular devices may
be; it has been tested over and
over again by Experiment Sta
lions and found valueless. Every
farmer who puts money into this
business will lose his investment
Our warning is to have nothing
to do with agents selling devices
or raising cream by the addition
Of water to fresh milk. In adj
Joining states agents have al
ready taken tens Of thousands
of dollars from the farmers, and
they are just beginning to work
