Short Course in Agriculture.

The short course in agriculture is
now in session with an attendance of
295, an increase of approximately 20
per cent over the attendance Of last
winter, and the college is taxed to its
utmost to accommodate the large
classes.
The short course has become one of
the most popular courses in the uni
versity and a full realization of the
fact seems apparent that the young
man from the farm in order to pursue
his vocation successfully should be
trained with the same care as doctor,
lawyer or banker.
Since the organization of the short
course in 1886, 1859 students have
availed themselves of the opportuni-
ty of attending; of this mber POP
have come from other states ami $50
from Wisconsin. OF the 295 in at
tendance this winter, 81 are nOn-resi-
dent and 234 resident students.
Twelve states outside of Wisconsin
are represented in the attendance;
Illinois heads the list with a represen-
tation of 33. The ten counties of the
state most largely represented with
the attendance of each are as follows:
Dane %, Rock Is, Milwaukee II,
Grant II, EtuClaire and Dodge 10
each, La Crosse and WalwOrth Beach,
Jackson, Lafayette and Trempealeau,
each.
The rapid increase in attendance
during the past three or four years,
clearly demonstrates to the college
authorities that if the good work is TO
continue, and the many young men
seeking the advantages of the short
course are to be accommodated, a
building much larger than any here
tofore erected for the college Of agri-
culture will be absolutely necessary.
as the overcrowded condition of the
present buildings makes in inconven-
lent for instructors and students.
The Dairy schc d which is now in
session has an attendance of III, and

Zimmerman in the Tolls


Geo p Zimmerman, the Monroe
embezzler was captured at Hunting
ton, W. Va, last week and brought
back to Monroe bg the sheriff of
Green county. Zimmerman was adj
ministrator of his mother-in- law
estate and turned up missinga month
ago leaving a shortage Of $4,000. A
reward of $1,000 was offered for his
capture and chief of police in West
Virginia secured the bird and the
plum.
Zimmerman sailed high during his
short absence and returned .'broke."
The report goes on TO say that he
dazzled the town.with his shows Of
wealth and won the hearts Of fashion
able people in West Virginia. The
more general reports in particular of
the claims that he was cattle king
and went by the name of Geo. Bill
lings of Billings, Mont, and that his
father owned the Western town.
He began to spread his money about
in the pleasure resorts, anu the conse-
quence was that his popularity was
unexampled. He filled the most prom
nent box at the theater with coterie
of his friends. A champagne supper
followed the show and Billings footed
the bill He played social games for
unprecedented stakes, nearly always
won and invariably returned his win
nings.
Equally popular with the fair sex
he soon became favorite and MANI

The Legal Election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt.

If the constitution of the United
States had worked as its trainers in
tended we should all be looking for
ward to the 14th of January with
very keen interest and probably also
with excitement, heated controversy
and no little turmoil For, although
very few people seem to be aware OF
the fact, it is the 18th of January,
1901, and not the 9th of Novem Der,
1900, that is fixed by law as the date
for the election of the president and
vice president who are to be inaugu-
rated on the 4th of March.
On the second Monday of the pres
ent month of January, 447 citizens
who were chosen for that purpose last
Novem Der are to vote for president
and vice president of the United
States. Each one of these men has a
perfect legal right to vote for any per-
son whatsoever or to vote a blank.
Or he may disregard his obligation
and not vote at all. So far as we are
aware all of the All electors are vet
alive, and there is no one throughout
the length and breath of the land who
does not expect with entire confidence
that Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Roosevelt
will receive POP of their votes and
that Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Stevenson
will receive exactly 100.

While younger States have set apa,t
