DR.. G. W. Harrison, accompanied
by Sheriff Lever Lien, of Bayfield,

close it up. Misleading reports have
been sent out, but if Leonard's camp
is source of small pox, it ought to

THE INSTITUTE A SUCCESS.
The Largest Attendance in the History of
Institutes in the County

The Largest Attendance in the History of
Institutes in the County.
The Bayfield, County Institute is
in full swing this week. The attend
ance has reached the highest point
in the history of institute work in
Bayfield, County since the system of
summer Institutes was adopted.
Thirty-seven teachers have been en-
rolled and are taking the work mapp-
ed out for the two weeks by the
state superintendent. Profs. Kipp
and Cameron have succeed IN organ
ling the work so well that all are
getting the best possible instruct
ions in the short time given TO each
study. This week the work in man.
agement has given way to the work
in agriculture and the force of teach
ers are well on the road to the voca-
tlon of professional farmers. The
Importance of this work to the teach
ers can not be over estimated as the
course adopted by the state superin-
tendent in putting this among the
studies in which the teachers will be
examined after the first Of the year,
clearly shows that it will soon be
put in the course of study for the.
common schools and taught in the
grades and country schools. The
institute was highly favored Monday,
of this week, by visit from State
Supt. Harvey who came in the MORN
ing and spent the entire day inspect
ing the work of the several classes.
During the last hour Of the day the
institute had the privilege of listen
ing to the gentleman who gave a.
very interesting and instructive
talk on the Manual" which is a
book issued from his office for the
use of the common school teachers of
the state. The teachers are prepar-
ing a treat for their friends which
will be given Friday afternoon, from
three to four clock, in the shape of
a program. We publish it below:

 "At IS years of age, K. F. Wolfe, president of the Wolfe Brothers shoe company of this city, was sent to the penitentiary of another state upon the charge of assault with intent to kill. When released he determined to over come the cloud that always surround ed the victims of the penal code, and came to Columbus penniless. Ills success since is matter of general Knowledge.
 The story of his early trouble was known to few, some of whom, know ing all the facts and circumstances gave him in the noblest way their friendship and support. Others saw in his necessity a means of extortion and oppression. As Mir Wolfes pros peritv has increased, threats of expo sure have multiplied, and have at last become intolerable.
 "Knowing all the facts, and as his attorney. I have advised him to make this statement to the public. He knows that the world exacts a further penalty from those it has punished but he authorizes this statement that he may be forever free man"

HEARD BY SENATOR BREE.
Says Country Members Will Adjourn

 Constitutional Convention.
 A member of the state senate from New Haven county, Senator Bree. made statement to Hartford Times reporter which will be read with in terest He said that he had been in- formed that an effort will be made to induce the state constitutional con vention to adjourn sine die, immedi- ately after it's organization, without doing any business in the line of amending the constitution. This would defeat the purpose of the peol pie in voting to hold the convention The senator said the information came to him from source that is pretty we'll informed, and that he had no req son to doubt it. The representatives of the country towns will be in a ma jority and will control the convention. In regard to the delegates from New Haven county the senator made spe- cial reference to the town of New Haven, and said that it was under stood that the republican and demo- cratic town committees had tacitly agreed on Colonel N. D. Osborne as the delegate from New Haven. But. the senator added. Colonel Osborne would not be an influential man in the convention. Owing to the ev. treme radicalism of his views on con- stitutiona1 reform he would have no influence with the delegates from the small towns" said the senator
 Continuing. the senator said: "Law. yer Pardee is being advocated for delegate. Two weeks ago friend of Mir Pardee told me that Colonel Osborne had promised to support him (Nfr Pardee) for delegate" said the senator.

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
Show Rapid Growth During the Past Few Years

The membership of labor organiza- tions ill this country appears to be in- creasing rapidly, says the Hartforl Times. A report on these organlza- tions, prepared under direction of the national industrial commission, says ''the American Federation of Labor has tended year by year to embrace an increasing proportion of the Amerl- can unions, so that it's growth has been somewhat greater than the growth of unionism as q whole. Yet. while not showing even approximately the abso- lute membership of American unions, the figures may give some indication of the direction and the velocity Of movement. The number of members apparently represented in the federation conventions rose from about 100000 in 1890 and 1891 to nearly 250.000 in 1893, fell sharply to about 175,000 i'll 1894, then rose gradually to little more than 250,000 in 1898. and went up by leaps to nearly 325.000 in 1899, and to more than 500,0O0 in 1900"
 A rough estimate of the aggregate membership of labor organization i'll the United States as shown by this re- port reveals a t9tal of nearly mill lion and half. as follows:
