SCHOOL NOTES.

About 1900 orders have been taken
and we are now busy making and de-
Iivering the postal cards. Orders are
still coming in.
High school report cards are out
today.
Election day has ceased to be a le-
gal holiday for schools, so we decided
to hold an election of our own.
The Primary in the 4th ward gave
Taft a comfortably majority. We
have not obtained the exact figures.
The Preparatory gave Taft 19 ma
jOrity.
The Grammar department gave Taft
a majority of II.
The vote in the High School was by
classes, conducted by the class officers
and was carried on as nearly like the
real elections as circumstances would
permit.
The number of split tickets voted
will be shown by the majorities given,
and the fact that not one ballot was
thrown out indicates that we know
how to vote the Australian ballot.
For State and county officers. the
High school went republican by about
20 majority, but in the case Of Sheriff
the majority was only Is. For Mem
Der of Congress the majority was Is.
For District Attorney there was tie.
For President, the Seniors gave Taft
a majority of 5; the Juniors gave
Bryan a majority Of 5: the SOphO-
mores gave Taft a majority of Is; the
Freshmen gave Bryan majority of
6. The entire High School gave Taft
a majority of 10.

The schools will close next We'd
nesday at noon for the rest of the
week to give the teachers an oppOrtun-
ity to attend the state teachers associ-
alton in Milwaukee. This is an
opportunity the teachers should not
miss.

Electric Notes.

Electrical energy is to be taxed in
Russia. The proposed rate will yield
a revenue Of 81 800, 600 a year.
The state of Texas is experimenting
with an electric railway. Tt is the
first state in the Union to own an
electric railway. The proposed line
is seven miles long, running between
the town of Bryan and the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College.
Seven thousand electric fatirons
are in use in. Seattle.
Electricity excels all other methods
of power transmission for cOnven-
ience, says the Scientific American.
An electric cable may be strung where
required, and machinery may be ar
ranged in any position without refer
euCe to line shafting.
Butter-making by eIectricity-not
by the use OF electric power in driving
cream separators or churns, but by
the direct application of the current to
the cream-mav be accomplishment if
a recently patented process proves to
be of practical value. 1t is declared
that the effect of the current on the
cream is primarily to separate and
mass in globule form the butter held
in solution, adding these, hitherto
loss, to the butter fats held in suspen-
sion.
In England they are experimenting

tutes. An edition of 10000 copies of
a "Farmers' Institute Cookbook" will
be issued for free distribution at these
cooking schools.
Six corps of regular workers and
two OF cooking school teachers will
lecture during the ten weeks season
Assistance along their special line
will be given by men from the State
Dairy and Food Commission, the

highway division of the State Geo
logical and Natural History Survey.
From over 200 applications for in
stitutes Superintendent McKerrow will
select I2I for meetings, and rec
ommend them to the board OF re-
gents. Great interest in the cooking
school has also been shown, and
many requests have been made for
shat feature at the Institutes. The
Wisconsin Farmers Institute bulletin,
No. p, a handbook of 320 pages, will
be distributed free at every meeting.
When approved by the regents, the
list of places and dates of the insti-

W0rkinn = Good Mine.

Booms are short lived. but the
mines around old Mineral Point are
long lived. Two miners, John May,
and Nicholas Wagner are working
a good old mine Of which nothing was
heard during the recent boom period.
1t is an old mine on the Ross land {,
northwest of the residence of Dr.
Charles S. Ross. They have put on
an engine and are working the mine
simply as partnership and are TAX
ing out considerable quantities Of
good rich ore. Many such mines will
long continue to be worked in this
vicinity.

Character in
Furniture.

II III . AA u
Recently an old bookcase was
sold for $50 and a parlor ia
bic for SIS. Intrinsica1ly
neither article was worth the
money, but there was a certain
character and style in both
which gave to them an added
value. They were of a kind
that is not made to-day, and
consequently they brought
good prices. Their leading
feature was massiveness
suggested strength that
would outlast a good many
ordinary lives. And then the
fad" of collecting ancient
furniture probably prompted
the purchasers to pay so much
for them. Practically there
is Just as good and as strong
furniture made today as there
was a century ago, but not so
much of it in proportionto the
vast increase IN population.
The demand to-day is for
light rather than heavy furni-
ture, one reason being that
we are a people addicted to
frequent moving aud to a
weekly rather than a semi
annual "c1eaning down.
Yet there is much of the
strong, substantial and artis-
tic in the manufacture of good
character" furniture to-day.
You can see fine examples of
all kinds of house furniture in

establishment, and, though
there is a permanence and
durability that go with the
artistic effects, the pricss are
never extravagant.

near Logan. Kan, June 8, 1888, and
died at the home of her parents In
La Junta. Colo. December 9th. 1908,
aged 20 years, months and 4 days.
The funeral services were conduct.
ed by Rev Chas. Burbank, at the
Christian Church. and she was laid
at rest in Fairview Cemetery.
All her life she suffered with a
valvular affection of the heart, which
was finally the cause of her death.
OF quiet, home-loving disposition.
her strength was never equal to her
ambition.
Nearly six weeks she lay ON a
bed of suffering, without murmur,
whsn loving Heavenly Father call
ed her to himself, and she is now
at rest. All that mortal care could
give, was done, by fond parents and
loving friends, but she has gone
where pain and sorrow never come.
Nora. thou has gone and left us.
Gone to dwell In courts above.
One, by one, we too. will follow,
Drawn by cords of heavenly love.
Thy short life of pain and pleasure.
Mingled in story sweet.
Gives to memory treasure.
Life, though short. is still COM

Reminder of the Builders Early Days

Reminder of the Builders Early DAYS
of Poverty.
@ One OF the most curious vanes to-
pc seen on any church in Great Brit
ain is at Great Gonerby, parish adj
joiiing Grantham.
It is in the form Of fiddle and a
bow and is unusually large. Its
history is curious. Many years ago q
peasant resided in Great Gonerby who
eked out modest livelihood by per-
forming on an old violin which was al.
most part Of his life. At last he de-
cided to emigrate, and ont in. the Far
West prospered and became q rich
man. s353,
One day he sent to the Clergyman at
Great Gonerhy a + sum sufhcient to
build church, and attached to the
gift the curious condition that i metal
replica Of his old fiddle and how
should be on the summit OF the ediflce.
The gift was accepted and the vane
may stiii be seen on the church.
