The prospects for a large gathering
and splendid time at our neighborlGg
village of Cashton, on the coming Fri
day, are exceedingly bright. 1t is very
likely that all the subordinate lodges of

there. The Rebekabs and unif jrmed
Cantons of this city will also attend. A
program of interest has been arranged
by committees and all that remains to
insure successful meeting is favorable
weather The annual address will be
delivered by Rev I. j. Snodgrass, of
River Falls; the balance of the enter
tainment will consist of addresses, music,
parades, papers and songs. Our neigh

The people of Viroqua are deeply in
terested in their school system Nothing
could be stronger testimony to that fact
than the success Of the recent agitation
for the new high school building But
during that discussion, doubtless, many
people asked themselves q variety of
questions in regard TO the advisability
of so great an additional expense being
laid upon the tax payers in the cause OF
education. Appropriations for other
municipal improvements like hgh ting
and paving carry proof of their value
which can be felt by every citizen. I'm
fortunately, the profitableness of large
investments for school purposes Is not so
evident to the casual observer, except in
the most general terms. The pressure
If individual pursuits leaves little time
70 the ordinary person to make such
careful inspection of our educational
system as to give him an adequate idea
OF its worth Although this is to be re-
gretted yet it is unavoidable in any
community.
However, a plan is now on foot, which
will permit OF such an appraisal of yalue
and at the same time give an et 9nlngs
pleasant entertainment to Niroqua cItl-
zene. During the past year two literary
societies have been flouriahing in the
high school: The Athenae Debating
Society. for the boys, which bad for its
end. skill in debating and parliamentary
practice; and the Girls Literary Society,
with broader scope including work in
the more varied lines Of declamations
ESSAYS and musical renderinRs. 1t is
needless to say that great deal has been
ACCOMPLISHED in both societies, toward
giving the members a proficiency IN the
difficult art Of public speaking and en-
tertaining. The public however, have
profited little as yet, since the meetings
have been generally closed to ali bat
members Recently it has occurred %
the societies that it would be well to al
low the proverbial light 10 be removed
from it's bushel So on Friday evening,
Nav 10. there win be public entertain
ment, or old fashioned high school exbi-
bition at the Congregational church.
The admission fee will be nominal,
sufficient to meet expense and, perhaps,
leave some small balance to be added to
the fund which Is 10 be used for beauti-
flying the interior Of the new high school
building. The program will be an

few facts in explanation. A short time

feeling in poor health, and yesterday he

was coming down with an attack of
small pox His case was promptly
quarantined and for fear of any possible
