Cardinal Satolh was born at Mas
ciano, In the archdiocese of Perugia,
July 81, 1889. He first attracted at
tention in the seminary of his native
diocese and early became celebrated
as the profoundest Thomistic scholar
in the Italian peninsula. It was In
evitable, therefore, that mutual
friendship should spring up between
himself and the illustrious archbishop
who afterward became Pope Leo XIII.
At all times he enjoyed the closest
intimacy with the pope and at no
time needed an announcement before
pontiflcate.
He is at present archbishop Of

Watch Presentation.

In token 0f full appreciation of of the eminently successful work of Doctor Ray Ferguson as chairman Of the Republican County Commit ice of Santa Cruz, that gentleman was this week presented with a handsome gold watch, appropriate ly inscribed and engraved with his monogram. It was being arranged to give smoker yesterday even- ing. and at that social gathering spring the watch as a surprise upon the doctor. But q premature pub- lication caused abandonment of that project, and the watch was handed to him without ceremony. The comments passed by irate re- publicans upon the unfortunate newspaper man who had divulged A secret, must have made his ears jingle. They had counted upon q ioyial gathering and a pleasant evening. He had taken away the incentive, for which curses and lm- precautions were heaped upon his devoted head
 Doctor Ferguson is justly proud of his watch as token of the ap- preciation in which he is held by his fellow republicans of Santa Cruz county.

Were Very Erratie.

One day this week 8 we'll known gentleman whose name can be learned at TIE OASIS office, related his own experience with Buttinski PeIlegrin as an assayer. He was interested in a silver property in the Patagonia mountains. A lot of assays had been made by their own assayer. but the owners want ed check assays. So the gentleman relating the story tooz check sam ples to Johnathan Gordon at Pata- gonia and to Buttinski at Nogales. Said he. "Gordon's assays checked with our own assayer's work, right down the line; but Pellegrins were very cratic"
 From all sides are coming to THE OASIS similar accounts of Buttinski's incompetence and in- capacity as an assayer. Yet this man-vain, ignorant, lily educated, and without experience-who is known to De incompetent in call ing which he has followed a num- Der of years, has the infinite gall 10 set himself up in profession which requires education, exper- fence and wide knowledge of af- fairs.

County Training School.

In his annual report to the county
board, Supt. Hemingway will advocate
the establishment of County Training
School for teachers. Eight such schools
have been authorized by the state legis-
lature, seven of which have been estab-
lished in the following counties, viz:
Marathon, Richland, Manitowoc Wau-
paca, Dunn, Buffalo and Wood.
There is but one more such school to
be established and the county that
speaks first will get it. 1t would seem
that this one should come to one of the
southern counties and that county should
be Rock county.
The apathy with which the southern
counties sit back and allow the energetic.
progressive northern counties to take
advantage of all the appropriations for
county training and agricultural schools
is hard to understand in view of the fact
that the southern counties pay the
greater part Of the state school tax.
Wherever these schools have been tried
they have proved extremely beneficial.
The object of such school as Mr. Hem
ingway advocates would be to better
prepare teachers for work in the rural
schools.
The course would cover one year; the
branches, those required for third
grade certificate and theory and practice
BILE of doing the work it would be posi-
BILE for them to receive instruction in
second grade branches. The work would
be- arranged in four quarters so that
there would be four times during the
year when students might enter. Such
an. arrangement would permit teacher
to enter in September, do a quarters
work, drop out and teach winter term
and then complete quarters work in
the spring. In this way person could
teach half a year and do half of the
course, finishing in two years. The com
pletion of the course would give three
years certificate. There would be no
tuition books would be free. The ex-
pense of taking course in such school
would not be great.
For the maintenance of such school
the state will pay half In Dunn coun-
ty, where one of these schools has been
in operation little more than four years,
fifty per cent. of the teaching force of
the county are graduates of this school,
In only one county DUNN has the cost
Of maintenance ever exceeded $4,000 per
annum,. and in all counties except Dunn,
when there has been change in the ex-
penses, it has decreased.
Rock county has an educational rec
ord of which to be proud. With it's two
colleges, two academies, seven high
schools, a number of state graded schools
and two superintendent districts en-
ploying in all over 400 teachers, it is pre-
eminently an educational county. AS
such it should be alive to secure the
best that is going in this line Training
schools are no longer an experiment.
Their success and usefulness have been
thoroughly demonstrated wherever they
have been established. Rock county
needs one and the county board could
notImake better move for the educa-
tional interests of the county than to Sc.
cure the one yet to be located. Teachers
and friends of education throughout the
county should make every effort to Sc
cure the establishment of this school for
Rock county.

Pretty Home Wedding.

About one hundred guests assembled
at the home of Mrs. j. d. Whittet on
Thursday evening, Dec. 3lst, to witness
the marriage of her daughter, Margaret
Rosamond, to Mr.. Clouden Stebbins
Farman, which took place promptly at s
o'clock. AS the last strains of Lohen-
grin's beautiful wedding march, sung by
Mrs. Maud Sharp, Martha Wilson ac-
companist. died away the contracting
parties took their places beneath floral
arch, attended by Miss Edith Maltpress
as bridesmaid and Roy Farman as best
man, and Rev. L. A. Parr pronounced
the words that bound them in wedlock.
The bride was very prettily gowned in
white silk null and Duchess lace and
carried white roses. After brief sea-
son OF congratulations refreshments we're
served, under the direction of Mrs.
Louise Bowerman, by Misses Ada SUIT
ton, Bessie Williams, Winifred Coon,
Florence Wentworth; Maggie Skibrek,
Hazel Touton and Norma Hargraves.
The welded pair are among our best
known young people and enjoy the es-
TEEN of large circle of friends who
have only congratulations and best
wishes. They were recipients of very
large line of wedding gifts which is
another evidence of their popularity. A
brief wedding trip to Chicago was taken
and they soon will commence house
keeping in this city, where the groom
holds responsible position in Babcock
& Birkenmeyer's clothing department.

New Rate of Assessment

January lst the new rates of assess
ment for the Modern Woodmen went in
to effect. AS a result there will be a
general increase all along the line, and
considerable interest is manifest among
the members in consequence. Although
the monthly assessments will be higher,
it is said seven or eight assessments per
year will be sufficient, so that the total
for the year will not be materially great
or than under the old system. Accord
ing to the report of the head banker,
there is now the sum of 81 1896, 203.15 in
the Woodmen's strong box.
