COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Teachers Assemble at Bristol Monday to
Take 1t in.

Take 1t in.
Over sixty-two members of the
teaching force of Kenosha county were
called to order by Supt. Griffith at the
opening session of the annual institute
at Bristol Monday. All are live, ener-
getic young people who have come to
the village to settle down for week of
active labor on educational lines.
The conductors are Prof. C.. E.
Patzer, of the Milwaukee Normal, and
Principal M. 81. Jackson, of the Colum-
bus High school. Both gentlemen are
very able instructors, and during their
lectures command the closest attention
of the teachers. The sessions are
opened with singing, which exercise is
heartily entered into by all.
The good people of Bristol have
thrown open their homes and are doing
all in their power to entertain their
guests in q proper manner. The
meetings are held in the Methodist
church, which is comfortably seated
and large enough to accommodate as
many as are likely to be present. The
attendance, however, is expected to be
much increased before the close of the
institute.
The topics under discussion are
grammar, history and pedagogy, led
by Prof Patzer, and arithmetic, read
ing and geography, by Prof. Jackson.
Supt. Griffith also handles some of the
subjects and invites members of the
institute to participate freely in the
discussions.
On Wednesday evening President
Salisbury, of Whitewater, will lecture
on the {" Rural School Problem" A
cordial invitation is extended to the
public to be present.

| SOCIAL. TRIUMPH.
DR.. AND MRS. FARR ENTERTAIN IN
HONOR or CHINA WEDDING.
ALL SOCIETY WAS PRESENT.
The Event was Celebrated with a Dane
ing Party. At Which over Two
Hundred Guests Were in
Attendance.

Seldom in the history of Kenosha
has any nall, whether publicor private,
been the scene of more brilliant
party than that given by DR.. and Mrs.
w. NJ. Farr Tuesday evening, on the
occasion of the twentieth anniversary
of their married life. From early in
the evening until the "wee sma' hours"
two hundred guests thronged the
spacious dancing hall and lounged
about the drawing room and library of
the beautiful residence. All things
conspired to make the event memoir
able one.
The weather, the music and the hall
we're all ideal for the occasion and the
beautiful evening and the ample YER
apdas offered opportunity for the
dancers to refresh themselves at will
and during the evening the chairs and
settees on the porch were eagerly
sought by the happy young people
anxious to secure brief respite from
the pleasures of the ball room. Every
body seemed to catch the spirit of
jolitY which reigned and whether NOV
ing in the mystic maze of the waltz, in
the beautifully appointed hall or rest
ing where the cooling breezes blew
every one had jolly time during the
entire evening. The music for the
dance was furnished by the Gold
schmidt orchestra of Chicago. 1t was
the first appearance of the orchestra
in the city but they took the Kenosha
people by storm. Nearly every dance
called forth a hearty encore from the
young people. The decorations of the
home for the occasion were very
elaborate. The reception rooms and
library were decorated in delicate SET
tings of palms and wild flowers while
the large dance hall was Respondent in
its decorations of old glory and flowers.
In the dining room where a delicious
collation. was served at midnight the
decorations were in white and red. On
the table was an immense bOQuet of
brides roses while from the vase ex-
tended twenty strands of red ribbon.
The tables we're lighted with red
candles burning IN silver candelbra.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farr received their
guests in the reception room. They
we're assisted in entertaining by Mrs.
Emma Farr and Chester Farr of
Waukegan. Mrs. Farr was magnif-
Gently gowned in a gown of black satin
ornamented with jet and jewels. Mrs.
Emma Farr wore black over white
silk.
All Kenosha society were present at
the party and many out of town people
we're among the guests. Among those
present from out of town were: Mr.
and Mrs. Mason, Misses Eddy, Smith,

DECIDE TO BUILD.
BOARD OF EDUCATION ORDERS A
PLAN FOR NEW BUILDING.
LOT HAS BEEN PURCHASED,
Board Leaves the Whole Matter in the
Hands of the Building Committee who
are ordered to Secure Plan for
Next Meeting Other Business.

After several months of inactivity
the Board of Education finally got
IdoWn to business Tuesday evening and
as a result there is now some prospect
of new school building being erected
on the North side in the near future.
The Board decided to stop the endless
contest over plans and the building
committee was ordered to present at
the next meeting the plans for school
building consisting of four rooms to
cost about $4,000, exclusive of the
heating plant. According to the orders
the committee will not ask for designs
from every architect in the state, as has
been done, but will give the work of
making the plans into the hands OF
some reputable architect and the plan
will be presented for adoption.
The committee having in charge the
purchase of the lot on which the build
ing is to stand, reported that the deed
had been executed andthere was now
nothing to delay the erection.
The finance committee have not as
yet made any report in regard to the
money for the new building, but it is
said that the finances will be forth
coming when the Board has decided
upon the plans and specifications.
The new building will probably be
constructed in the same way as the
Frank school, so that if desirable and
necessary four more rooms may be add
ed. 1t is the plan to get the work
under way at once in order that the
building may be completed and ready
for occupancy by the first of the year.
The remainder of the meeting was
spent in considering the matter of
needed repairs and in reading and ap-
proving the minutes of the previous
meeting. These minutes we're a model.
All the fight which was entered into
by the board in regard to the claims of
Miss Yule for extra salary, including
the exchange of personalities, was
spread upon the minutes and as re-
suit they made very spicy appear
ance. Several of the members were
opposed to the adoption of the minutes
and desired to Whitewash" the whole
of the matter, but the minutes were
finally adopted by nearly a unanimous
vote
The Board spent the remainder OF
the meeting talking over the repairs OF
the buildings. The contract for the
repair of the blackboards was let to
James G. Jensen, who agrees to do all
the work of placing the boards in
excellent condition at the rate of 30c.
per square yard. The contract for
calcimining the rooms at the Central
building was also awarded to Mr.
Jensen at a contract price of $1,000.
The contract for calcimining and
painting the interior of the North side
rooms and the room in the engine house
as we'll as the contract for the calci-
mining of the rooms 10 the Durkee
school, was awarded to [. G. Jason, she
price being fixed at $l82.
After allowing the usual number OF
bills the Board adjourned.

ARTEMUS WARD once said that he
had heard of people being ruined by a
large fortune and expressed the wish
that, if ruin were to overtake him,
it would come in that form. The
position OF Americans today is an
alogous. While the wise acres" are
telling us that we are on the verge of a
serious business depression statistics
show that business conditions are
steadily improving. If hard times
must come let them come in that guise

A Hot Weather Discussion.

The subject of whether the UniteC
States needs new name or not is one
peculiarly adapted to midsummer. 1t II
a season when the value of an editOria
topic is apt to increase in geometrlca
ratio to it's Temcteness from probable
action, it's irrelevancy to the issues OF
the day, and its intrinsic idiocy. We
doubt not that the st. Louis gentleman
who set this particular downy dan
delion plume adrift did SO at about 5
o'clock on one of those characteristlcally
dense and muggy afternoons held to be
most emblematic of what they call the
climate of St. Louis. It has drifted on,
drawing to it as it goes the vagrant
and cobwebby attention of the slaves OF
the paste-pot. There is no such thing
as puncturing it. Make stab at it
with your pen and even that tiny con-
cussion of the air sends the frail thing
onward, impelled by a new current no
wider than a pins head. Blind it with
the bands of argument and 10, while
YOU devise new strands of breathless
eIoquence it slips the moose and is
away, behind you, above you, any
where but where you can look it in the
face and frown it into a consciousness
of it's own supreme and perfect i'm
becility. That is just the kind of snb-
ject it is.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding
we do here and now enter into the lists
with it so far as to declare that mas
much as that cumbersome and clumsy
title, " The United States of America, .
was good enough for George Wash
ingtOn and Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams and James Monroe and Abra-
ham Lincoln and long and glorious
list of our betters; and inasmuch as
under the initials " q. S. A. the Stars
and Stripes have won their battles and
been made forever and forever the flag
OfNOrth and South and East and West
and inasmuch as of those same initials
has been born that grOtesque and
dearly beloved symbol of our nation
Uncle Sam, who would be robbed O
his pedigree if any meaningless substi
tute we're to usurp their place; anC
inasmuch as the boys that wear the
blue on sea and land have fred United
States guns and worn the United
States uniforms and sailed the United
States ships for century and quar-
ter, therefore, we do propose that this
topic be incontinently dropped from the
list of even hot weather topics and
relegated to a limbo whence it may
return no more forever And we dc
implore that we may be supported ir
this proposition by all those who feel il
incumbent on them to preserve, under
July suns, the semblance of Their
intelligence.

Ross ON NATIONAL ISSUES"

Under above title the Burlington Free
terview with Senator, late Judge, Ross.
The first part of this interview is I'M
Objectionable and somewhat interesting,
but the closing paragraph is such an in
complete statement of fact, and so
essentially dishonest. that we feel the at
tention of all Vermonters should be
called to it. 1t reads as follows:
"What about the Philippine question:" the
senator was asked. 81 think we have made
the only solution of the problem possible"
was his answer. "a coaling station in Il e
islands II ne ,essity during the war, and
Dewey's victorS gave us the best one to be
had. To protect our trade in the east we
must continue to have n cOalng station In the
Philippines. The question then arose, should
we hold simply Manila or the island of Luzon
or take the whole archipelago. If we kept
simply one island, LuZon, we should have the
Spanish as neighbors only six miles away.
We could not put up with their rule in Cuba,
there was apparently no hope of getting
along with them still closer neighbors
Then again if we kept only LuZOn Spain was
certain to sell the other islands to other ma
tons, probably to Germany. Our relations
with Germany in Samoa show that this would
not have been satisfactory solution of the
problem So ii seemed the part of wisdom to
take all the islands and administer their
affairs according to our own notion, so
think our commissioners came to IA wise con.
clusion and assumed the least burden they
could"
This is the sophistical argument of
those who would take what they have
no right to, but think they want. 1t
assumes that our only course was to
abandon the Philippines to their fate or
to steal their country. They had as
sisted us in defeating the Spanish, and
did this as we very well knew in desire
for their independence, and il the ex-
pectatlon, and almost legitimate one,
that this would result. We say most
legitimate expectation, for they were
dealing with the nation which, free itself,
before all others professed, and always
had professed its devotion to the prin-
ciple of liberty-the foundation principle
of whose government was proclamation
woven into its constitution, that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed.
Under the circumstances there was one
manly or honest course for US to pursue,
and only one-to den and the evacuation,
by Spain, of the Philippines, and to in
form the FilipinOs that it was done
for their benefit, as our allies in the con-
test, and that we were ready to help
them establish their independence or
such government as they desired. This
was the one manly course for us to pur-
sue; was the only one we could afford to
pursue.

FRIDAY, MARCH "a, 1899.

The eleventh annual report of the Yer
mont Agricultural Experiment station
Just has been issued from the office of the
Vermont Waterman. 1t is book of 400
pages and contains matter which will
prove of much interest and value to
farmers and hortculturists of the state.
1t contains many photographers "from
life" Vermont plums being especially
well represented in this way. The text,
also, treats at considerable length of
plum growing in this state. The dairy
interests of the Green Mountain state
take up good fourth of the space, and
every department of that industry is
treated in an exhaustive manner by j. l..
Hills. the station expert. The report
should be in the hands of every farmer
who uses brains in his work.

A Famous Hallway Dog.

Charley, the dog at Windsor Great
Western Railway station, near London,
died under remarkable circumstances.
He was a white terrier, formerly en-
ployed in collecting for the Widows
petted by the officials. On his remains
being examined, six pennies, eleven
half-pennies, and several stones were
found in his stomach. He had been
in the habit of running after the money
thrown to him and had accidentally
swallowed the coins.
