Van Rensselaer, Wheeler. the baritone
of the Lulu Glaser opera company, which
will produce STANCE and Edwards
latess comic opera, Dolly Warden. in
this city soon. has been summering at
the actors colony at st. James, Long
Island
In addition to being an excellent singer
and actor it would seem, from the fol-
lowing. that Mr.. Wheeler is quite Wig
orous writer. Upon assuming the editor
ship of The Pan" the famous little
paper that is published at St James
whenever it gets ready during the sum
mer months. MIR Wheeler used these
strong words in his "salutatory:"
This paper will be edited with an axe,
so that the blows We deliver may be
both cutting and weishty. When, in the
course of our summer. II becomes neces-
sary to 'tOa st on The Pan member

ether we beg to assure our readers that
he will be done to a. brown. and that
there will he no doubt in his own mind
that he has been over the fire when we
get through with him.
1t may seen quite remarkable that after
such a strenuous declaration as 20 his
editorial policy Mr.. Wheeler should have
left St James unharmed at the end of
his vacation.

Miners in Burning Shaft.

The legislative session just closed has
been one of the most remarkable in the
history of Wisconsin, being the longest
ever held, as well as the most fruitless
and being marked by animositles and
chickering's among the members OF the
dominant party such as has not been
known when opposing parties were more
evenly matched. No other executive has
vetoed measures so fearlessly and often
as has Gov La Toilette. Many impor-
tant bills were killed during the session,
the chief ones being the various taxation
measures. \ large number met death by
executive veto. such as the Hagemelster
primary bill, the dog tax bill, the bill ex-
empting the Milwaukee exposition from
taxation, the measure to increase the
salaries of the police and fire chiefs OF
Milwaukee and the bill giving police pow
ers to street railway employees. Among
the important measures to die III one
house or another were: The Overlook
anti cigarette bill, the adoption OF Tor
rens land title system, making the State
board of immigration one with the board
of agriculture, to prevent the running or
double header trains and to increase the
pay of members of the Legislature from
$500 to 81 900.

get out satisfactory attendance at

MAKING GIRLS HAPPY ON FARMS
Mrs. Meredith Tells About the School
IA:z-,s 20,

Mrs. Meredith Tells About the School
for Farmers Wives in Minnesota.
What the West is doing in the way
of training girls to live happy lives on
farms was very ably shown at Hunt
ington hall, Boston, recently by Mrs.
Virginia @. Meredith, preceptress of the
school of agriculture of Minnesota uni
versity
Mrs. Meredith has herself conducted
a successful stock farm for many years,
and she believes thoroughly in the
farm life for young people.
"The farm home" she said, sis to
my mind the ideal home, and l am
glad to say the thought in our school
is always to educate the girl for the
life she will have to live.
''At first we had only boys in the
school, but when these, noticing that
their sisters and sweethearts needed
to learn just what they were learn
ing, begged us to take girls, too, we
did so and now for four years we
have been training farmers daugh-
tiers to make happy farm homes.
"Our girls study side by side with
the BOYS the different breeds of live
stock and the various developments
of plant life A farmers wife needs
to know how to tell shorthorn from a
longhorn, and what season is best for
planting corn.
I'VE have been hearing in the past
much about the mans desire to get
away from the farm. The reason for
his restlessness lies in the dissatiSfac-
ton of his women folk with farm life.
They needed to be taught that it was
interesting to make farm home.
1--WE give our girls special work
adapted to women in the home, such
as cookery, which extends through the
three years, dairy chemistry, and plant
life. Butter-making is not drudgery
to the girl who understands the why
of it, and sewing is rapidly ceasing to
become lost art now that girls see
that patterns are comprehensive
things and not Chinese puzzles.
1.-The girl is taught, too. about tex
tiles. a most interesting subject from
the farmers standpoint; and she at
tends lectures on household art In
which suitability is shown to be the
desideratum of purchase Of furniture.
1.-THE application made in our school
of mechanical drawing-that of design
ing model farmhouses-will have a
great influence on the coming farm
home of Minnesota. When the present
generation build houses they win be
convenient ones"

Missouri line from the begin
ming of the earliest settlements,
up to the year 1870, were raid
ed and almost occupied by bands
of horse thieves, cattle thieves,
bushwhackers and cutthroats. The
settlers who were endeavoring to
make for themselves home in the
"Wild West" were too few and scat
tering to withstand the robber raids
and in order to hold their claims
and not be driven off, many of them
were willing, or compelled to, pur-
chase immunity by paying SO much
tribute each year in grain. horses,
cattle or other goods.
A little incident that befel the
writer IN connection with these
"troubles" he will remember through
life as thrilling night. The modus
operandi of the robbers along the
border was to form camps or sta
tions in or near timber and streams.
In these places the robbers lived
with their women and children, and
to them they took all the stolen
stock and stuff. These places were
strongly guarded day and night and
woe betide the settler found near
one of them. The camps or sta
tions extended from the northern
counties in the state to Texas and
Arkansas, and from these camps
were regularly driven off during the
war, stolen stock for the Confeder
ate armies. After the war, for a
time some was driven to Leaven-
worth and Kansas City and south
to the Nation and Fort Smith and
sold.
Some of these camps were merely
temporary, but others were large
and strong and stationed for years
in the same -place, and in them at
times were collected hundreds of
cattle and horses. Many prominent
citizens of nearby towns were con-
nected slyly with the camps and so
were the county officers, and the
settlers could never induce the gov
ernment or state to aid them in
bringing the cutthroats to justice,
The business was a wholesale one
and the profits to the robbers were
immense. The camps were gener-
ally located off the main roads and
about days drive apart, although
the large camps were several days
drive apart.
The close of the war brought many
more bushwhackers and robbers,
but it also brought many good set
tiers, especially soldiers and fight
ing men, who were badly needed.
They soon, organized band to put
down the robbers. To attack these
strong camps and break them up
was the serious campaign that the
settlers undertook, but it was not
until 1869 that a border farmer
could sleep in his bed at night in
safety. Many of the robber women
and also the women of the settlers
could ride and shoot equal to any of
the men, and many man did they
help to chuck into a hole with
boots on.
One of these large. camps or sta
tions was on the Neosho above lola
