The Literary Outlook.
(BY HERBERT BREWSTER.A

The revival. not only of the classics
such as Poe and Dickens, but also of
anything that is concerned with certain
great historical characters, is very much
in order at the present time. Among
the recent publications of this character
are several volumes concerning Daniel
webster. two or three new biographies
ana as many more books about the man
as shown in correspondence The last
volume of this character. "The Letters
of Daniel Webster" edited by c. II Van
Tyne, Phi. d.. is remarkable for its COM
pletCncss and for the new light it throws
rr0n Webstcr's character. Strangely
CROUCH the volume came about practic-
ally by chance. DR.. Van Tyne who was
"seociated with Pref MacMasters in the
University of Pcnnsylvan MIA spent sever
~ weeks in Concord and New England
roints gathering material which Prof.
MacMasters wished to use in series
cf magazine articles about Webster. In
this labor DR.. Van Tyne unearthed a
great manv letters. actually hundreds, in
private collections which were not known
TO exist. The find ives so important that
lars were made to secure copies OF the
most valuable part of the matter and
publish It in book form.
Dr. Van TYNE * still comparatively
voung man. though this is his third pub
lisbetl work. His first book was brief

used bv the Crited States government
for circulation in the Philippines. The
work was printed both in English and
Srar'sh. English on one page and the
Srarfsh CT the other. One hundred tho
sand copies were circulated. His other
book is as important historical work
on "The Loyalists in the American Re
volution," which was published only a
few davs ago

which is the foundation of all prosperity
is more prosperous than ever before.
Farmers are learning better what crops
to raise and how to cultivate them. They
are learning to cultivate less land and
make it richer. A level headed farmer
told me that every dollar wisely invest
ed in farming this year has PAID llV'
dollars. He says it is the best year Tor
farmers he has ever known. The wealth
er has been unusually good for cullNat-
ing and harvesting crops. All farm pro-
ducts are bringing remunerattVe prices
The outlook encourages the belief tha'
this will continue. Fer years past, farm
ing as a rule has not paid. For this
reason thousands and thousands of farm
ers have just quit farming and nave
gone 10 towns and cities and are at WORK
in factories. This has greatly increased
the number of consumers of food, and
lessened the number of producers his
makes the prospect for farming briShter
than ever before. 1t is true that farm
ers complain mach OF hired labor be-
ing scarce ard almost worthless. Bu'
this will prove a help rather than hin
drance to good farming. 1t will neces-
state the cultivation of less land, and
making it richer, so that one acre will
yield as much as has been obtained from
three or four acres. This kind of farm
ing will pay two dollars TO whore one

The publishers of Nansen's 'Farthest

OF calling Nansen's record still an I'M

that the Duke of Abrizzi penetrated soy

feet that Poarv. Baldwin and Sverdrup

in Nansen's story, but it is hardly fair

ed under the title Edges will read it
through with considerable relief II is
so different from the general run OF
rovels The author. Alice Woods. has
illustrated tho work herself. but one
would not need this evidence that she is
an artist in the sense that she uses
brushes ard paints. Her story is of two
artists. a hermit and a young girl who
meet in lonely seashore town in this
country aud who finish up the recorded
rart of their relationship in Paris. The
girl makes a man out of the hermit and.
while the reader knows that the romance
is sure TO come TO its proper ending,
therc is certain cleverness OF dialogue

ostins along the way. The publishers
have gotten out the book on tinted

THE FIRST GUN FIRED.
Committee on Public Buildings Of County
b ard ia 1900 Recommended New
Court House.

In going over the proceedings of
the new court house project credit
first is due the Committee on Public
Buildings of the County Board of
Supervisors of the annual session in
November, 1900, Of which Ed. M.
Lowry was chairman.
This committee was composed OF
the following gentlemen: John M.
Gardner, Platteville; Warren John
son, Lima; F. G. Mufiey, BOscobel;
Henry Roberts, Bloomington; f. w.
Klinkhammer, Cassville.
John M. Gardner was chairman
of tn committee and F. G. Muff1ey
Sc, re jary. The report they returned
is FAMILIAR to Herald readers. In it
they strongly recommended the
building of new and modern court
house, their inspection of the old
structure proving to their minds
that the same was inadequate and
unsafe.
James Jeffrey, the chairman OF
Jamestown, moved that the report
as read be adopted, and this was
carried by vote of ~ to z.
James Edwards, of Hazel Green,
moved to adopt resolutions recon-
mended. Mr.. Him, of Fennimore,
objected under the rules and the
matter was laid over.
On the following day Mr.. Jeffrey
was the father of a resolution call
ing for a special session Of the county
board on the third Tuesday in Jan
uary, 1901. A committee OF eight
on preliminaries was chosen, con-
sisting of Chairman Lowry and
Messrs. J. M Gardner, James JET
frey, Warren Johnson, Jacob Brem-
mer, F. G. Mufiey, Samuel Birch
and F. w. Klinkhammer. This
committee visited various court
houses throughout the state and at
the special session of the board in
January reported favorably for con-
struction of the new building. The
question was laid over till the fall
session for action.
The story of it's disposition in No
vember last is still fresh in memory
Voted upon and lost by a narrow
margin, a reconsideration was taken
and the vote resulted favOrably

WARD CAUCUSES
Robert Glenn OF Wyalusing Carries Every
Ward in the CiCy.

Robert Glenn of Wyalusing, can
didate for the assembly, succeeded
through the labor on part of his
friends here in carrying all
four wards of the city at the Repub-
ican caucuses held Saturday even
ing for the purpose of determining
upon twelve delegates to represent
the city in the assembly district
convention to be held at Fenni-
more today.
While Atty. Howe and Mr.. Leigh
ton possessed many admirers here,
the contest narrowed down to Mr..
Chandler and Mr.. Glenn, and a
spirited though friendly battle was
waged, with results favorable to the
latter.
The first ward caucus was pre-
sided over by Ed Pollock, and G. B.
Wheeler acted as secretary. The
vote stood Chandler "a; Glenn Al.
Delegates named were J. c. Church
ill, w. J. Dyer and Geo. Boyes.
In the second ward the victory
for Glenn was overwhelming, the
result being 20 to So. G. FL. Baxter
was chairman and Roy Chatfield
secretary, A. G. Morse, John G..
Clark and Eugene Woodhouse wree
chosen delegates.
The result in the third ward was
a surprise. The Glenn contingent
had about conceded it to their OPP
ponents, but when the vote was
counted it was found to be in
Glenn's favor by narrow majority
80 to 33. Chas Sampson was
chairman and Guy Williams secre-
tary. Delegates, John FL. Howe,
Chas. Ziegler, J. P. Williams.
III. Buchner was chosen chairman
and Ed M. Lowry secretary Of the
fourth ward caucus. The vote was
26 to As in Glenn's favor, and the
delegates selected were Chas. c..
