ACTRESS DAUGHTER
OF La TOILETTE TO WE'D
WILL BECOME THE WIFE OF ONE
OF WISCONSIN SENATOR'S
POLITICAL LIEU
TENANTS

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 4.-Senator
and Mrs. Robert M. La Folette will
soon announce the engagement of
their daughter, Miss Fola, the ac-
tress, to Alfred 7. Rogers, one of La
Folette's political lieutenants and his
prospective law partner.
Mr.. Rogers is GAINESVILLE man. AS
4 politician he is great organizer,
and for long time has been La Fo-
lette's confidential adviser. The mar
riage will bring to sudden close the
professional career of the senator's S
eldest daughter.
Miss La Folette is graduate of
the University of Wisconsin Before
she finished here course there she de-
eided to go on the stage, asher faith
er had many years ago. Circum-
stances which prevented him from
becoming thespian instead of pol
itician did not stand in her way.
Comprised Largely of Students
Her first professional engagement
was with company comprised large
ly of college students, touring the
Northwest in 1904. The next sea-
son saw her in the East. Eventually
she appeared with companies on
Broadway and in the larger cities of
England.
Unlike most ambitious actresses,
she did not have to overcome parent
Il objections to engage in her chosen
career. Senator, then Governor. La
Folette, considers the stage as legfti-
mate business as any other. Some
Of his best work has been directed
sages in Shakespearean and other
PLAYS.
Mrs. La Toilette, while never con-
sidering the stage as place for her
own talents, was prize orator and
amateur actor at the University of
Wisconsin and was in sympathy with
the spirit prompting her daughter.
1t is related that on one occasion
Mrs. La Toilette defeated her future
husband in an oratorical contest at
the university.

WILEY SUCCESSOR
TO JAMES WILSON
PRESIDENT WILL APPOINT HIM
SECRETARY OF AGRICUL-
TURE TO SUCCEED MAN
FROM IOWA

WASHINGTON, Feb. i.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is asserted to have
decided to appoint the eminent chem
ist and chief of the bureau of chem
istry of the agricultural department,
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. as successor
to Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, of Iowa, when the latter re-
tires from the department, in April
next, as it is his reported intention
of doing. DR.. Wiley is not only fav-
|orably known throughout the Unit
ed States as scientist, but through
out Europe as we'll.
While DR.. Wiley disclaims that he
had anything more to do with the
national pure food law than that of
an adviser to the committee having
the measure in charge. it is we'll
known that it was largely through
his influence and knowledge of de-
tails that the bill was perfected. and
made acceptable to congress, the
president and all concerned in. the
matter of pure food
Well Posted on Agriculture.
While not as practical farmer
as Secretary Wilson. DR.. Wiley's long
connection with the agricultural COL
leges and with the department of
agriculture, as well as his wide
knowledge of agricultural conditions
in this country, all contribute toward
making him an ideal man for the
prospective vacancy. With the single
exception of Secretary Wilson, no
man connected with the department
of agriculture is as well and as fav-
orably known among all classes of
citizens OF the United States is Dr.
Wiley
The doctor is now in the very
prime Of his usefulness, mentally
and physically, he is prodigous
worker and bears the reputation of
getting the best results from his
subordinates without playing the
part of a slave driver or that of a
tyrant. His co-workers believe that
his promotion to the head of the
department he has served so faith
fully and well in a subordinate posi-
ton will, when it takes place, be a
deserved one. 1t will be in line with
the oft-proclaimed policy of the pres
ident to elevate to positions of trust
and responsibility those men in the
government service who have demon
strated their capacity to make good.
DR.. Wiley obtained great newspa-
per fame several years ago by organ
izing the so-called poison squad" !"
composed of young men in the gov
ernment employ, to test the action
of certain chemicals on the human
system. His experiments in this di-
riction were highly successful.

STRENGTHEN FLEET
ON PACIFIC COAST
EIGHT OF THE MOST MODERN
RATTLESHIPS WILL SOON BE
STATIONED ON THE PA
CIFIC COAST

CHICAGO, Feb. "A dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington
says:
Secretary Metcalf will issue this
week a most important order, desig-
mated to increase the strength and
effectiveness of the American navy
He will consolidate the squadrons
now on the Pacific coast and in Ash
attic waters into one fleet under the
supreme command of Rear Admiral
Willard H. Brownston. This fleet
will engage in comprehensive man
euvers, the object of which will be
the protection of the Pacific slope
and our Pacific dependencies in case
of war. 1t is stated authoritatively
there is no connection whatever be-
tween the reorganization of the navy
and the controversy with Japan over
the San Francisco school question.
and the exclusion of the. Japanese
laborers from this country. Indeed,
the general board of service, the
president of which is Admiral Dewey,
is president has been considering the
steps which should be taken to make
more effective the ships now in the
Pacific.
''It is apparent to any one who un-
derstands the situation, that it would
be an easy matter for the American
warships to be beaten the way they
are now stationed. There is squad
ron consisting OF four protected
cruisers, two of which are heavily
armed, two gunboats and five torpe-
doboat destroyers- In Asiatic wat
ers there are four armoured cruisers,
two monitors, five protected cruisers,
a number of gunboats, division of
five torpedo boat destroyers and four
others. United, these would be a
match for any of the great powers
having ships on the Pacific, but they
have proyed force which would
nave u Dc IOUheu dItST one even
more formidable and thus would not
be constituted serious menace to
any plan of campaign which might
be determined upon.
Secretary Metcalf and the general
board do not propose, however, to
permit the American fleet in the Pa
cific to be weaker than possible
enemy, and there is reason to be-
lieve that before many months have
passed a squadron of battleships,
numbering eight of the most modern
vessels flying the stars and stripes
will be stationed in the Pacific

A Revival al Prospect.

Rev Mr. j E Mahaffey reports
that the meeting at Prospect
church on the Johnsonville cir
cult surpassed anything he ever
witnessed in the manifestation
of spiritual, power. he esti-
mates that on Friday night be-
tween 100 and $50 persons pro-
fessed intantaneous saving faith
in Christ. It was no time to
keep. count-perhaps no one
thought of counting-it was
such a sudden manifestation of
spiritual power that swayed the
congregation from side to side
and from front to rear, lasting
perhaps 20 or 80 minutes.
The faithful pastor, Rev T j
Clyde, saw of the travail of his
soul. and was glad. He is in
great favor with the people and
is doing one of the greatest
works of his life.

progressing very successfully under
the skillful management of Mrs L E
Snowden, closed on the 9th inst.
Before the time for the exercises to

The exercises were opened with a

very interesting programme was rem.
dered, consisting of recitations and
dialogues. The children showed
that they had worked hard on their
selections and delivered them we'll.
After the exercises by the pupils
we're finished interesting talks were
made by Rev T E James aud Mr. s.
Wall. Mr. James emphasized the
fact that children should receive Q
religious training in connection with
their literary work. He showed
What impressions could be made up
on the children while at school.
Mr. s J Wall, from the Universi-
ty of South Carolina, made a force
full plea for high schools in rural
communities He first showed the
need aud value of q high school
training, then the conditions that
exist throughout the State, and how
easily high school could be es-
tablished in a rural community; also
what an advantage it would be to
the farmers to educate their sons
and daughters.
After the speeches most sump-
tuous table was spread to which ev-
cry one was welcomed. The after.
noon was pleasurably spent by both
old and young.
The people Of the community are
generally interested IN education and
are putting forth every effort posi-.
tle to secure better educational ad-
vautages in their community.
