Later Mr.. Adams was arrested on
the charge of THEFT. A large amount
of goods were found slowed away in
the chambers and shed at his resi-
dence. much OF which has been iden-
tilted by the owners. Among the
articles found were clothing, bedding,
blankets, plated ware, revolvers, gold
pens, books, dark lanterns, rope lad
ders, harnesses, boots, shoes, hats,
caps, barrels of -four and many other

c. II. Waterman has been suspicious
for some time that parties were in the
habit of entering his grain mill on
North street through window on the
roof and he arranged gun so that
when the window was raised the gun
would be discharged. On the evening
OF July Is, Gardner, son OF Mr..
Waterman. was alone in his house and
about 9 o'clock he heard the report oil
a gun. He at once went to the town
hall, where his father was, and gave
the alarm. Mr.. Waterman, with Con
stables Bond and Leland, investigated
the matter with the hope of finding
one or more OF the burglars, but they
discovered nothing, only that an at
tempt had been made TO enter and that
a.. 4 lsaatt 1iefshurpaI
1t was discovered that the shot
which was in the gun and those taken
from Adams leg were identical.
When arrested Adams had nothing
to say. He has always been looked
upon as model man, having held all
the principal offices in town and Is an
enterprising farmer. He is about 40
wears of age and unmarried.

Inc man who tills the soil The
resolutions discover no shades Of gloom
IN the outlook and carefully avoid any
fearful contemplation Of the past They
are in line with the advanced thought OF
the nation on all questions of Importance.
lhey favor liberal appropriations for the
Improvement of rivers and harbors and
immediate steps toward the construction
OF the Nicara qua Canal, which facts prov
mat the farmers of the country are not
frightened by reasonable governmental
expenditures Of taxation. They favor
reciprocity and the extension Of rural
ffee delivery. They suggest that agri-
culture be taught in the public schools
and that protection be afforded dairy
farmers against artificial butter. :
confident tone and optimistic spirit per
wade these resolutions throughout No
thoughtful person can read them without
feeling that the farmer has turned com
pletcly aside from the narrow path at
sectional and class fanaticism and that he
IS now moving along the broad highway
OF national progress

INSTITUTES AND INSTITUTE DIREC

to the difficulties under which institute

worked at Institutes in four states. ahd
have often been amused at the waste Of
time with the efforts OF some VISIONARY
theorists irving to advise farmers who
knew q great deal more about farming
than thcv did. And yet this is largely thc
fault of the director who docs not htep

i'Sen One of these gentlemen. who ie
apundantly able to write enterta5nplv
and lnstructively undertook to classifv

papers IN general. Some of the editors

Whlle others belong to the "minority',
because sometimes in referring to some

courtesy 70 give full credit to paper and
writer IN quoting their words but in
simply referring, without quotin, to what
some one has said this is not ALWAYS ey-
PSctcd nor necessary. Some wears ago
one OF these gentlemen copied bodily
from one OF our print ed lectures a column
or more and sent it to a paper where it
was published over his own name as an
original contribution. OF course we told
the editor he had been imposed uDon and
We sent him the printed pamphlet to

when the farm correspondent assumes
that 9 aud not the editor of the paper

of practical farming and writes mere
gossip and fiippant criticism, his contri-

stood for instruction. and articles With

are used. but not gossip. There arc few

AN AGREEMENT IN WISCONSIN

Washington Evening Star: In a
dispatch announcing an agreement
between the republican factions in
Wisconsin it is stated:
"rhe governor was forced into an
agreement because the following of
the senator was too strong for him to
continue in opposition. AS result,
the governor will not oppose the
nomination Of Legislators pledged to
vote for Spooner, while the senator
will assist the governor by endeavor-
ing to secure members of the legis-
lature who are willing to support the
policies of the state platform"
Why, according to this very state
ment, Governor LaFollette was no
more forced into the agreement than
was Senator Spooner. The original
proposition was that the friends of
the governor should work for the re-
election of the senator, and the
friends of the senator for the carry
ing ont of the governors state policy.
There was nothing unreasonable
about this. The governor controlled
the state convention by "A vote of 3 to
|, and his policy therefore had an
overwhelming party endorsement.
Why should not the Spooner men
at the very outset have accepted
terms so entirely within the bounds
of party usage and requirement?
But all's well that ends well. Mr..
Spooner's return to the senate is very
generally desired by his party all
over the country. He has performed
some valuable public service as SEN
ator, and is in the prime of his SUI
perior powers. Whether as lawyer
helpug to draft legislation, or as de-
batter meeting with ease the strong
men of the opposition, he has inn
pressed himself on the times, and his
public career could not end now
without serious loss to his party. In
the case of Governor LaFollette the
people of Wisconsin have felt the
force Of strong personality, and one
good term, like one good turn, de-
serves another.
