No man is stronger than that weakest

SEVERAL persons, prominent in educa-
tional circles of Wisconsin, met with
State Supt. L. D. Harvey at Madison
recently and decided to organize an ed
vocational alliance for the purpose of pro-
noting instruction in manual training,
domestic economy, elements of agricul-
ture and similar branches of study in all
the public schools of the state. After a
thorough discussion of the project it was
decided that Senator j. FL. Stout of Me
nominee, should appoint committee of
three to formulate plan of organization
and report at a meeting to be held July
2 1t was the unanimous opinion of
those present at the meeting that the
educational forces of the state should be
united and directed along certain lines,
some of which are now entirely neglected.
Membership in the proposed alliance
which is expected to accomplish the de-
sired reforms will be open to all Wiscon-
sin persons engaged in educational work
and an especial effort will be made to
interest the leaders in such work.

M B Bergum returned last Saturday
from Kansas City, Mo-, and his Grant
county farm where he had been with a
carload of Angora goats, which he pur-
chased at the former place He had Ill
goats and 70 kids in the car, some of the
kids only few days old, but lost only
two on the way. Those were killed in
what amounted to nearly collision, the
cars being run against one another with
such force that the draw bars were
broken and the goats and kids piled on
top of onesanother in one end.
A number of the subscribers to the
Deerfield- Utica telephone line held a
meeting last Monday evening and among
other things ordered carload of cedar
poles for the line. 1t is the purpose of
the company to begin construction of the
line as soon as the poles arrive. 1t was
the unanimous sentiment of those pres
ent that the line should be constructed
of good material and with first-class
workmanship throughout. Nels A Lee
was elected temporary secretary and fl
nancial agent for the company, and in
structed to collect subscriptions.

A New Fourth.

Reform the Fourth; make it again
worthy of free and enlightened people
Give innocent sport and recreation with
instruction to the young, elevating
thoughts to the old, and happiness, with
safety to life and limb to all. Above all
give dignity and character to American
citizenship.
With this end in view, Prof, Hendrick-
son. principal of the Academy, and his
enterprising wife have made extensive
preparations to celebrate the nations
birthday on the beautiful campus of AL
bion Academy. \ great tent has been
secured where a stage and seats to ac-
commodate a thousand people may be
provided. One of the most able and re
spected men of the state, who is likely
to become the neXtgOvernOr of Wisconsin,
will deliver the Grafton of the day. A
seXtette of the most noted male singers
of the west and an unrivaled prima-
donna of Chicago, will sing patriotic
songs and will also give grand concert
in the evening.
The most novel and striking feature OF
the occasion will be a ceremony that may
be called the inauguration of the Amer
lean citizen" This will take place on
the stage and will be participated in by
the young men and women who have re-
Gently reached or will this year attain
the age of citizenship, and will be ac-
companied with an address and with
patriotic music. This will conclude the
main exercises of the day, which will oc-
cur between 2 add 5 o'clock.
The earlier part of the day will be de-
voted to ball games and other sports fol
the young people. The concert in the
evening will be the grandest ever known
in these parts. No expense has been
spared and no effort will be spared tc
make an event long to be remembered
All day and evening, except during the
exercises, light refreshments will be
served. Liquors are prohibited in the
village and on the grounds, which viii
be strictly policed to prevent any dis
order. The greatest freedom will be
given to the young for innocent amuse
ments and fun, but cannon crackers anC
other dangerous explosions and reck
less sports will be strictly guarded against
Let old and young from far and neal
come together and enjoy celebration
of the national holiday in this most beau
tiful park, and in manner creditable tt
the freest, most enlightened people in th'
world. To the evening program rea
sonable admission will be charged t.
help defray the very large expense in
Cured to which end it is also hoped tina
patriotic citizens of the community vii
literally offer voluntary contributions.

The watershed of Rock River, in
northern Illinois, will soon be the sub
ject of an investigation by the Division
of Forestry in order to determine the
cause of the diminution of the stream
This is supposed to be due to the de-
mutation of the forests along it's head
waters and to excessive artificial drain
age for commercial and agricultural pur-
poses. The decrease in volume of water
has become alarming, and, in response
to the agitation of citizens in that To-
cality, their Representative in Congress,
Hon. r. r. Hit. has applied to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture for an investiga-
ton. G. Fred Schwarz, Field Assistant
in the Division of Forestry, will proceed
to Rock River in short time to study
the conditions and report in favor of
such action as he finds advisable.

A Great Event.

Our people will soon heve an oppor-

novelty in the world. The Nebraska
Indian Base Ball team is billed for a
game against the Columbian Giants at
Evansville, Wis, on June 9Th. This team
is composed entirely of genuine Ameri-
can Indians and they play fine game
of ball. This aggregation of Red Men is
worth seeing and our people should take
advantage of the opportunity which will
be afforded them on June 9Th 1900. No
lover of base ball should miss seeing
them as this is probably the last time
that the Indians will pass through this
region
