Perry,s Lecture Recital.

The entertainment to be given by
Edward Baxter Perry at the Congre-
gational church Monday evening,
Oct. 20, must not be classed with the
ordinary performances in profession
| al lines. Music is high art and but
few attain to eminence in this sci
ence and only those endowed with a
special genius, ''to the manner born"
with a passion for melody and persist.
ence in study. Mr.. Perry is won
derful performer, one of the very
best in the world. This is his estab.
lished reputation, reputation at
tanned and maintained by merit, uni
versally and Loyalty conceded. In the
line of this special feature, the lee.
ture recital, Perry is unique, distinc-
tive-interpreting in charm Of poetic
diction, in sententious phrasing, the
| language of the notes. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly rare occasion when must

distinction may be heard. The piano
is the perfection of superb musical

range of expression, its capabilities OF
responding to all the moods of melody
under the inspiration of the born mu-
stefan with cultured apprehension
makes the piano the superlative mu'
steal instrument. And the man who
can make it's potent, latent harmony
supremely eloquent is Edward Baxter
Perry. If you exult in rapturous mu-

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist,

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because SO decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney bladder
and urinary troubles. II has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free

Root and its wonderful cures. Address

President Brler read an interesting
paper before the Northern Wisconsin
Teachers Association at Wausau last
week on Educational Development
in Northern Wisconsin. The essay
appears In last Sundays Milwaukee
Sentinel and makes a four-column
article. The following excerpt will
be of special interest to readers of the
JOURNAL:
The st. Croix Valley Teachers asso-
citation was organized in River Falls
in November 1872, and embraced
Polk. st. Croix and Pierce counties.
1t i s probably typical. What they
found to talk about is interesting in
the light Of subsequent events. A.
II. Weld, a scholar whose reputation
was wider than the St. CruiX valley,
delivered a lecture on Natural and
Artificial Agencies in Education, +"
surely pertinent topic for an educa-
tional gathering either then or now.
Among the resolutions passed at the
first session were the following:
/. Resolved, That corporal punishment
should be excluded from our schools.
q Resolved, That the state should adopt a
uniform system Of tex books,
8. Resolved, That il is not the teachers
fault that the pupils play truant.
Here is the place "to draw moral
to adorn a tale but as chronicler l
refrain except to say that the echoes
from the last resolution must have
reached Madison where the legisla-
ture assembled soon after, for bill
was introduced at that session TO
compel children to attend school at
least sixteen weeks in the year.
The Wisconsin Journal of Educa-
tion declared that such law would be
a dead letter. Such a law, 1t may
possibly be remem bered, was passed
by the Wisconsin legislature, once up
on a time. Is it dead letter.

The abundant rains of the last six
weeks may have done considerable
immediate damage but they will have
their compensating advantages in in
surfing abundant crops next year. The
ground is so thoroughly saturated
that there need be no fear of drouth
next season to prevent the growth
and maturity Of an abundance of veg
etable crops. Indeed there is more
danger to be feared from too much
rather than too little rain. Enough
is plenty, while too much is worse
than not enough.
