The Levy Court passed resolution
last week that will permanently set a
price for renting the Dover Opera
House. One night, with light and
heat, $12.50; two nights, $22. so; three
nights, $50; and for cash subsequent
night, $3.50. The price for a night
without heat will be $40.
Some Dover persons saw the driv-
ing of the first spike in the Kent
county trolley line, which was driven
by Attorney General White. The
spike was silver and driven at Hayes
hill just below Dover. This electric
railway will gridiron the lower part of
the State. Leo Belmont of Philadel-
phie, and other officials were present
and it was gala occasion.
The Wilmington Sun in speaking of
the effort to get up a split in the Union
party because Chas. Emory Smith
postmaster, wants to appoint only Du
Pont men says: The littleness of it
shows to what desperate straits Anti
Addicks politicians are reduced. So
far as it is now appears the Hon. John
H. Hoffecker will be renominated for
the Office he now fills, and that will moi
depend upon his success or failure in
wrestling appointments from the postal
authorities controlled by Charles
Emory Smith, an unreasoning oppon
ent, and, so far as he can be, prose
cutor of Union Republicans.

MAY BUILD HIGH FENCES.
Supreme Courts Important Decision
Upon That Point.

The supreme court has handed down

cording to the court the fence can e
built regardless of the wishes of their
neighbors. Pamela Metzger, II. II.
Hochrein and board fence, in con-
junction with the supreme court and
a demurrer from the lower court, have
caused a precedent to be established
regarding the building of high fences
near a neighbours window to shut out
the light, after the two parties with
adjoining premises have trouble In
this case Mr.. Metzger, whose light
was shut out, brought suit for dam
ages, alleging that the fence was built
with malice and that the thing was a
nuisance. The supreme court reversed
the order of the lower court denying
the demurrer.

TO EQUIP GUARDSMEN
Wisconsin Militia Boys VIII Approach
Status OF Regulars

During the fall, service shoes will
! probably be Issued to the members of
national guard companies of this state,
so that their equipment shall be as
near as possible that Of the men in
the regular army. In fact, by January
| it is expected that the equipment of
| the Wisconsin national guard will be
/ better than II ever has been before in
the history of the guard and that even
regulars Will not be In better condi-
ton as to equipment than will be the
companies - the Wisconsin national
| guard.
The ability of the state to better
| equip the national guard companies
this year than on. previous years is
due to the larger government appro-
priation, which for 1900 will be s25,-
900. against $4,000 in former years.
With this additional sum the state
will be able to place the guard In
| first-class condition as far as equip
ment is concerned and in such shape
| that as to equipment they would be
/ equal to the regulars II called into
the field, as in case Of the war with
/ Spain, upon short notice.
! The equipment which will be fur
nished will in every detail be the
same as that furnished the regulars.
In fact the allowance from the gov
eminent will be in equipment and
not In money and the state will sim
ply be allowed to draw from the gov
eminent stores of equipment to the
value Of $4,000.
Adjutant General Boardman re-
Gently, in speaking of the present
condition Of the national guard said:
Il believe that the Wisconsin ma
tional guard is in better shape for
actual field work than 1t has ever
been before. 10 may not be so we'll
up in the finest points OF drill as 1t
was previous to the war with Spain
but on the other hand. il is a great
deal better prepared for the actual
work of war should 1t be called upon
TO serve in that capacity. The Span
ish war taught our national guard a
great many things, and among them
the need Of being prepared for actual
service, and since the war the work
OF preparation has been along the lines
OF making the guard ready for a
campaign rather thar TO perfect It In
the finer details of exhibition drill"
Ii is expected that all the regl-
ments viii turn out a very full quota
at the annual encampment at Camp
Douglas this year. and that the week
spent by each regiment In camp will
be OF great deal Of value The ma
jority of the time in camp devoted to
drilling will be given up to field work,
such as sk.rmish drills and other
work OF that character. Instruction
will also be given the men as TO the
care OF themselves in camp, and as
great care will be taken in the camp
as regards It's condition as II the men
expected TO remain at Camp Douglas
for months instead Of only for a week

Madison, July 2.
meeting of educators and Others
throughout the state interested in the
lurther development of our educational
systems is called for Tuesday July 3
In the office of the superintendent of
public instruction. The purpose Of
the meeting is to perfect the organiza.
ton Of the Wisconsin Educational
alliance, an organization looking 10
the promotion of some definite educa.
tlonal projects and to the general
furtherance OF educational interests
committee has been formed of prom
inent school men and others, to take
hold OF the matter Of organization, and
by this committee circulars and letters
have been sent urging the attendance
or the teachers throughout the state
rs well as others who would be inter
ested in the work which it would be
the purpose of the alliance to under
take.
Of course all are interested in a gen.
eral way in the progress of education.
Few, however, are interested so deeply
as to sacrifice time for the sake Of
pushing any particular educational in
terest. Hence there is necessity for
organization and concerted action on
the part of those who realize that not
only the intellectual and moral growth
Of the next generation, but also the
continued materia prosperity of our
national depend upon the still greater
perfection of our educational system.
1t is evident that the highest advance
ment of the educational interests Of
any community can be secured only
when there is an enlightened public
sentiment in favor of a rational system
OF education. 1t is believed more can
be accomplished in this direction by
the cooperation of those who are not
Immediately engaged in the work Of
instruction with those who are so en-
gagged, than by either class acting sep
arately. In order that the forces al
ready existing within the common
wealth may be properly organized for
the advancement of the educational in
terests of the state, it has been pro-
posed to form an educational alliance
whose membership shall include rep
resentatives of the teaching profession
and those who though not directly
connected with teaching, are neverthe-
less keenly alive to the educational
problems of the present day.
To arouse a public sent,hent in ia
vJr OF manual training, the domestic
sciences and the elements of agrlcult-
of study, and, if need be, to secure
the necessary legislation for the ac-
complishment of this object, have been
suggested as legitimate ends for which
the alliance should work Immediately
The interest in educational matters Is
so keen and widespread throughout
the state that it will be impossible for
the committee 10 reach directly all
who may desire to take part in the or
ganization of the alliance; 1t is, there
fore, the desire Of the committee that
all friends of education who may learn
of the meeting, whether by letter or
through the newspapers, shall consider
themselves invited to be presnet at the
meeting. The committee on organi'
cation includes the following: j. H.
Stout chairman, Menomonie; r. II.
Halsey, Oshkosh; S. C. Carr, Milton
Edna E. Chynoweth, Madl-
son. r. B. Dudgeon, Madison; c. T.

OF the raw material and have no waste.

PERSONALITIES.

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was very
vention and saw her husband placed on
the ticket with Mckinley. She wore a
skirt of thin black material pale
pink, lustreless silk waist, with a white
stock, white kid gloves and an English
looking black hat trimmed with choux
of white chiffon and stiff black ribbon
bows Mrs. Roosevelt is OF medium
size. rather slight and extremely retig-
ing in her manner. She is not, accord
ing to artistic standards, a beautiful
woman, but she would be at any tine
an interesting one. She is neither fair
nor dark, of the chataigne type, with
dark chestnut hair and loyal-looking
brown eyes. Lovely eyes they are, and
her best feature. Her nose is promi-
Eent Roman in form and a little sharp
and her mouth in repose is inclined to
make straight line of closure The
chin Is womanly, not over-strong. Mrs
Roosevelt has very pretty teeth, hardly
ever in evidence, for she smiles rarely
in public. at least Very few persons
outside of her own immediate family
know Mrs. Roosevelt well. She is the
ideal woman of her own home, and bet
ter loves to be its queen than to grace
any other sphere of life. Mrs. Roose.
welt is not socially ambitious, bur
makes no pose as an ultra exclusive
recluse. She enjoys her friends and
keeps abreast of all current matters OF
interest in the social world. She pas
sionately admires and believes in her
husband. Mrs Roosevelt knew that
her husband did not want the vice
presidency. There are many reasons
why he should not desire second
place, and Mrs. Roosevelt, most of al!
his adherents, passionately resisted,
for her husband, an attempt to arrest
his progress toward the laudable OBJ
ject Of his ambition-the white house
itself. Gov. Roosevelt during the eau
Gus the first day of the convention hu"-
riedly sent carriage for Mrs. Roose-
welt to join him at the headquarters of
the New York delegation and insisted
upon private talk with his wife before
he would reply to Mr.. Platt's PROPOSE
ton. Mrs. Roosevelt on that day urged
her husband to decline the nomination
at all risks Gov. Roosevelt believed
she was right and held his grounds iUf
a time.
