Cheesemalxing iu Wisconsin.

While many people know that con-
siderable Swiss and Limburger cheese
is made in this country, there are
many others who believe that this is
not so. hence it may not be amiss to
quote the following from the Milwau-
kee Sentinel: "The cheesemaking sea-
son for 1898 has closed until next
April or May. Prices have ruled rath-
er low up to this time. They show
some signs of improvement now, and
the stock on hand is likely to yield
greater profits than that already sold.
The quantity has been greater and
quality better this season than the ag-
erage. The weather has been most IA
vorable for the growth Of good grass
in pastures and meadows, and conse-
quently the yield of milk was abun-
dant and of good quality. The number
of cheese factories in Greene county is
1913. nearly all of which make the for
eign or fancy kinds of cheese, the large,
round Swiss, weighing from 20 to 25u
pounds each, taking the lead; block
brick and Limburger follow closely
next. AS to the amount OF cheese
made at these factories, it is difficult
to get absolutely correct figures. The
product as given by the assessors sta
tistics for 1898 is about 100000, but
these figures are not correct, the total
weld being about 1914, 400 pounds of
cheese, or over 400 carloads of $4,000
hounds each. This great product is
mostly shipped to the Pacific coast, and
from there to Mexico and South Amer
ica."

Moscow University.

The University of Idaho proposes
to conduct summer school be-
ginning June Dist, 1899 and continu-
ing for term of six weeks. The in
struction will be arranged primarily
for the teachers, principals and su-
perintendents of Idaho, though all
that are interested in any phase Of
education are cordially invited to
attend.
The courses will be of two kinds:
|. Those designed to meet the needs
of teachers in the district schools of
all grades below the high school
2 Those planned to meet the wants
Of teachers in high schools and acad-
emies and of others who may de-
sire to pursue University studies.
There will be no tuition or labora-
tory fees of any kind-the instruc-
tion in all departments being en-
tirely free. AL of the libraries and
laboratories of the institution will
be open to students from z a. N.
till 5 p. m. without charge.
Board in clubs including room
rent will not exceed $500 a week
in private families it will be from
$3.50 to $4.00 a week.
1t is expected that the railroads
will give to all students attending
the Summer School a one-half rate
for the round trip and negotiations
are in progress looking to that end
All other expenses including laun
dry, books etc, will be no greater
than are usual elsewhere.

Elect u. s. Senators.

In relation to the events at Harris
burg attending the election of United
States Senator, the voters Of Penn-
sylvania, aside from those who are
members of the legislature, are mere
spectators. In this respect they do
not differ from their fellow voters in
other states, when representatives OF
the latter are being chosen for the up
per house of congress. All the officials
the people are empowered to elect
they are enabled to select in one day.
How many days or months legislat-
ures may require for the election of
United States Senators no prophet
may correctly say, though he may
know in some states how much time
may be killed at a single session be-
fore the statutes OF limitation force it
to a close. In a number of the states
whose incoming legislatures will elect
United States Senators prolonged con-
tests are in prospect. This time-kill-
ing in actual session is by no means
the most Objectionable feature attend
ing election of United States Senators
by the present method. The struggle
of aspirants may be fought SO near to
the finish before the time for election
| that it requires little session time tc
com plete it, but even in that event il
is often fruitful of charges, counter
charges, actional rows and public
weariness as the deadlock" brand o
this kind OF trouble. All this but EN-
phasizes the desirability Of the cleo
Lion of United States Senators b,
popular vote. The constitutional pro
vision on this point prevents voter
from now exercising their choice il
that way, but it is only question 0
time when that provision will be re.
pealed, and when all elective position
with be filled by direct vote of the pee

Helen Gould.

The resolution introduced in the
House of Representatives by General
Wheeler for the presentation by the
President OF medal TO Miss Helen
Gould is fitting recognition of the
work Of thoughtful and patriotic
woman, says Leslie's Weekly. The
distinction pro POSED to be conferred is
unique in lis way Congress has
never thus far rendered any such
honor to any woman. The nearest
precedent for this case is that of Cap
tata Molly, who figures in some of the
chronicles as "Moll Pitcher" She rem
dered gallant service as a soldier in
the revolution, firing the last shot
fr ON her husbands cannon at Fort
Clinton in October, 1777, jast before
its capture by the British, after her
husband and every other man had
evacuated the fort. She took her hus-
bands place at his cannon after he
was killed at Monmouth, on June Is,
ITS, and fought throughout the bat
tie. For her services Washington
made her sergeant, but the honor
accorded her did not stop there. On
Washington's recommendation the
Continental Congress put her on the
list Of half-pay officers, and her com
pensation was continued through life
