Comments on Prof. Dudley.

I have heard Professor w. H.
Dudley in institute lectures upon
Color and Nature" and kindred
subjects. He is a very agreeable
speaker and presents many facts Of
special interest to teachers. I think
his lectures are we'll adapted to sup
plement nature study in our schools.

Modison, Wis.
I have been greatly interested and
also entertained and instructed in
seeing Professor VIM. H. Dudley's
lecture slides on, Celebration in An

taken from the best sources. The

slides 1 have ever seen. VIM A.

ARBOR DAY.
Gov. Davidson Issues Proclamation
Concerning 1t.

Gov. Davidson has designated Fri
day, May 18th, as Arbor day. The
text of his proclamation follows:
With passing years interest in
forestry is increasing, due no doubt,
largely to sentiment stimulated by
Arbor day, it is fitting that the nat
ural beauty of the shade should be
preserved and enhanced. We are
apt to forget flowers and trees and
the beauties of wild nature in the
present day rush for wealth.
To bring our children to a realiza-
ton of the beauty of trees and flow
ers; to instruct them in the economic
value Of things in nature; to instill
into their hearts a healthful love
for our things of earth, to engender
In our citizens a greater civic pride,
it is recommended that this day be
observed by our educational insti-
buttons by the planting of green
things and by such instruction,
ceremonies and exercises as will i'm
press upon all the great Importance
of this noble work.
Miss Maud Barnett, librarian IN
the Office of the state superintend-
ent, has prepared the Arbor and
Bird Day annual. Miss Barnett was
born and reared in Boscobel.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Supt. Dyer of County Asylum At
tackled by Inmate.

Supt. w. J, Dyer of the county
asylum can thank his lucky stars
that he is able to breathe today,
and had it not been for the over
excitement of the lunatic who at
tackled him SO viciously Thursday
afternoon, the superintendent
obituary notice would probably APP
pear in these columns.
Mr.. Dyer was experimenting the
grubblng and cleaning up of a piece
of ground Thursday afternoon, and
his right bower was Peter Collier
termed ''Pete>the Grubber," before
he was declared demented. %Pete"
has been an unwilling worker for
some time past, and several times
has caused trouble to the attendants.
When Supt. Dyer told him that no
more firing was necessary Thurs
day, and that labors would cease for
the day, the insane man advanced
upon the superintendent, grub hook
IN hand, and before the latter was
aware Of his predicament, Collier
laid him low with a we'll directed
blow to the head.
Supt. Dyer was stunned and help
less for a few seconds and IN the
meantime Collier made two addi-
tional strikes for his head with the
vicious hook, but most fortunately
and almost miracuLously both fell
to one side In the meantime Mr..
Dyer regained consciousness and OBJ
tanned possession of the murderous
weapon, rolling under q wire fence
at the same time.
The patient made a hurried escape,
while the superintendent though
weakened by the attack and subse-
quent loss of blood managed to get
to the quarters where he was given
attention, and is now recovering
from the effects of his unpleasant
experience.
Roller has as yet not been re-
captured, but several are on his
trail and it is likely he will soon be
landed. He is treacherous character
and should be made an example of.

There was a man in this place,
and he was wonderous wise, he
marked a silver dollar and gave it
all to Lie, she went to see the
butcher and blew the dollar init
wasn't long before the coin came
back to him again. He took it to
the merchant and bought a dress
for Jane-before the week had
finished up, back come the PUNK
again. He spent the coin in Ian
caster fifty times or more, but
always got it back again and spent
it DER and DER; but when he sent a
dollar up to Spears & Sawbuck's
store twas gone for good-forever,
and he never saw it more.

the local lodge of Odd Fellows, as

the 87th anniversary of the organi-

the evening, the Rev Bennett. of
Bloomington, Grand Chaplain of

commemorative of the event which
was greatly enjoyed by the large
audience present. The balance of
the evening was devoted to musical

all present did ample justice, dane

Views and Interviews.

H. G.. Walton: while at Ell Paso,
Tex, on my recent trip south, a
party of newspaper men who l had
met there and myself took in
Mexican bull fight over across the
border in Mexico which was the
first contest of its kind I had ever
witnessed. Our party was favored
with the privilege Of occupying the
official box-not where the lord
high mayor sits, but where the
chef actors present themselves and
d0ff their hats after successfully ac-
complishimg some remarkable feat.
These fights are given every Sun
day, rain or shine. The attendance
IS greatly increased by Americans,
especially tourists from the northern
states whose curiosity is sufficiently
aroused to attend. since the de-
parture of the transient patrons the
attendance is not great and less
than 1000 people viewed the fight
on the Sunday l was there. A series
of four fights takes place, bull be-
ing sacrificed in every act, and US
ually several horses. In the con-
test / viewed the horses we're eX-
ceptionally fortunate none being
killed, but I was informed that on
the Sunday previous eight horses
out of dozen were so badly gored
by the enraged bulls that they
speedily succumbed and were
dragged from the arena. The horses
sacrificed are usually "old skates"
that have passed lives of usefulness,
but nevertheless are deserving Of a
more civilized passing away. The
poor beasts are blindfolded when
they enter the arena and upon
the skill of their riders depends
alone their escape from the on
slaughts of the maddened bulls
that are aggravated and tormented
before entering the bloody place.
After each act becomes mononoton-
Gus and the bull is becoming wearied
the chief matador dispatches him
by a skillful thrust between the
shoulders that invariably strikes the
heart and receives the applause Of
the populace for his dexterity in
manipulating the sword. Then
another bull is brought forth, another
pair of horses, and the second act is
on. After four acts the perform
ance concludes, and the crowd dis
perses to gamble on cock fights and
other similar attractions that are
given as side issues. The slaughter
ed animals go to the Mexican soldiers
as rations.

Linden is certainly on the boom.
Scores of people are there every day
from abroad to visit the several

lack of hotel accommodations. This
inconvenience will soon be relieved
