1t seems to us that the loss of life
in fires this winter is unusually
great. We read of frequent deaths
from accidental fires. 1t is one of
the horrors incident to the severe
cold. Fires in stoves are kept
burning during the night without
proper Safeguards resulting in
burning buildings and human suf-
fering.
Dan Cupid will be at home St.
Valentines eve at G. A. R. Hall,

til all are nicely matched. Sustain
ing refreshments will be served for

Come all, as there is only one day
in the year that the Beaver Queens
devote to matchmaking.

The Edwin Booth Dramatic Soci-
ETY. of the University of Wisconsin
will give the proceeds of it's annual
performance which this year will be
a presentation of Pinero's comedy
"Trelawney of the Wells, >" to es-
tablish an endowment fund for a
University ward in the Madison
city hospital. Most large privately
endowed universities have free hos
pitfalls or infrmary Accommodations
for students, in case of sickness, but
no such provision has ever been
made by the state for the Univer-
sity; and as among $500 students
there are from time to time cases of
illness.
The twelve weeks winter short
course of the dairy school of the
University of Wisconsin has just
completed one of the most success
full years of it's existence. The total
number of students enrolled this
year was 20, which taxed the school
to the utmost, since the" accommo-
dations were originally designed for
but 100 students. The instruction
is still being given in the Dairy
School to 1873 students in the short
course in agriculture and to II stu
dents who are taking the four years
agricultural course. The summer
Dairy School for factory pupils be-
gins on March 1st and the course
will be continued from that time
until November l.
