After the patience Of the factuly
and students have been sorely tried
III waiting for the Junior annual, It
lis now reported that that publication
will appear ali rut the end Of the
week. It will be handsomely bound
in heavy cloth board and will bear
the university colors-purple and
gold. 1t will contain about forty full
pages Of beautiful half-tone engrav-
ings, histories of various student or
carnations and fraternities. The
writing has been done almost entire
ly by the junior class and is in g
somewhat humorous style. Many Of
the leading members Of the factuly
have been cartooned by the studen
artists. On the whole it will far sur
pass anything that has ever appeared
at the university.

The Senior class is progressing
nicely with its preparations for com
mencement day entertainments. At
a meeting of the class on Thursday
the various committees having in
charge the arrangements for that
day reported, and some careless
senior has permitted it to leak out
that the class intends to introduce
new as well as unheard-of hits and
jokes upon the faculty, regents and
students. The class has among its
membership some excellent material
and no one need fear but that it will
make the class day exercises interest
| ing to all.

Will reach the appropriate enumerator
the statistics of his operations for that
year will not be lost. He will be re-
quired to give the enumerator of the
district in which he lives on June 1,
1900, the acreage, value, buildings,
machinery, implements, and live
stock Of the farm he then occupies.
IL. If every farmer will begin at
once to prepare careful record of all
the facts which the enumerator will
be instructed to record in June, 1900,
he will save time for himself and the
officer, and insure more accurate re-
turns to the Government.
l3. The twentieth century will
begin on January 1, 1901. There
fore, the pending Census will afford
to future generations a measure of
the strength and condition of the I'M
tied States at the threshold ofthe new
hundred-year cycle. For that reason
everyone should take an active inter-
est in making it as nearly perfect as
possible. If each farmer will make
his own report perfect, the aggregate
ed report for every community, and
for the nation, will be perfect.

The Deckertown Independent
says that a business change will ac-
chr in that town Feb. 1st whenSher-
wood d. VanCampen, who has been
for more than seven years the sue
cessful manager of Potters double
store, will become partner in the
business. 1t pays him graceful
and deserved compliment in saying
that his success as a merchant and
manager of the business is too we'll
known to the public of Sussex Co.
to need any detailed story. He is
enterprising, progressive and in
dustrious to most remarkable de-
gree and his admission as partner
in the business is a just recognition. "
We join in congratulating
SHERRY on this evidence of his
sterling business worth and capacity,
and his numerous friends In Mil
ford, where he is we'll known, will
likewise be pleased to learn of his
prosperity.

President Mckinley will use his
discretion about giving the in

representative of the Transvaal Re-
public for recognition by this gov
ernment, and why recognition was
refused, as on motion of Senator
Spooner, the resolution was amend

This resolution has no other OBJ
ject than to embarrass the admins
tration. It is a part of the game
which has been so unsuccessfully
played by the authors of the numer-
Gus resolutions, asking for all sorts
of informalion concerning the Phil
ippines, and deserves no answer.
The sudden spasm of sympathy for
the Beers is in reality a democlu tic
attempt to change the present
friendly relations between the US
and England, for no better reason
than for the making of political cap
ital among the Irish voters AT

establishment of customs and inter

That Mr., Bryan is beginning to
realize that his party has got on the
wrong side of the expansion question
was shown while he was in Wash
ington, day or two ago, by his ad.
vising the Democratic Senators and
Representatives to be very particu-
in their language when discussing
the question publicly, and by his
saying in an authorized interview :
"I am not opposed to all expansion
each proposed annexation must be
settled upon its own merits" 1t is
the old, old Democratic story. In
every Presidential campaign for
years, that party has favored, or
pretended to favor, any old thing
that promised to catch voters, and
has not hesitated to favor a thing in
one locality and oppose it in anoth-
er. Before the campaign gets fair
ly started, Democratic speakers and
editors are likely to be declaring
that they have never opposed ex-
pansion at all that it is only the
bugaboo they have themselves man
ufa,tured aud labeled ''imperial.
ism" which they oppose. That sort
of game isn't likely to fool anybody
There is no imperialisti in this coun-
try, and not likely to be.

Special TO the Register
CLEVELAND, Ohio, February To-
The Wheeling and LakesErie has pur-
chased the bonds of the Coshocton and
Southern railroad and will presently
f0reclose and buy in the branch. This
road is what was formerly the Coshoc-
ton division of the Cleveland, Canton
and Southern, which was recently pur-
chased by the Wheeling and Lake
Erie.
One year ago the division was aban-
doned on the order of the State rail-
road commissioner, following the
spring freshet which undermined some
Of the bridges. The stockholders re-
fused to stand an assessment and the
road vas abandoned. Now the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie intends putting
money into the road, rebuilding the
bridges, ~reballasting the track and flt-
ting it out for operation. BY this
branch they secure an entrance into
GAINESVILLE. and also secure a connec-
ton with the GAINESVILLE and Ohio by
which they gain entrance to the West
Virginia coal fields.
1t is the intention Of Receiver ]. W.
Wardwell, of the Cleveland, Canton
and Southern to resign soon, turning
the road back into the hands of the
court. All of the line, save only the
Cleveland, Chagrin Falls and Northern
has been disposed of to the Wheeling
and Lake Erie. For this branch a new
receiver will be appointed soon. In
the report which Receiver Wardweil
will submit to the court he will show
that he has received and distributed,
in his six years and five months as
receiver, about the sum of s $500, 900.
The Wardwell ~receivership is the long
est in the railroad history Of the
United States.
