LECTURES ON INDIA,

Last Friday evening j. Mohammad
Ali delivered a lecture at the Norwegian
Lutheran church on '1ndia's Millions.
1t was interesting and instructive. The
speaker told how his people live, how
they dress, and described their manners
and customs.
India is a country as large as that
portion of the United Stated east
of the Mississippi. On this area live 300,
600 900 people. They live mostly in
villages, only three cities being the size
of Milwaukee, The Hindoos belong tC
the Aryan branch of the Caucasian race
The caste system which has become the
bane of India grew out of its early gov
erument at the time the early Hindoos
crossed the mountains and subjugated
the people of the plain. The religions
of India are chiefly Brahminism
Buddhism and Mohammedanism Trans
migration of souls is feature of their
doctrine and as result the native Hin
doc kills no animals. Fakirs are plenti
full aud as they are believed to be inter
cessors between the gods and man they
are supported by the people. The beg.
gar class number 5000, 600 and are a
great drain on the country.
Mr.. Ali speaks in the same church a,
gain Friday evening, June 10. His sub
iect will then be 'Christianity the Hope
of India" Admission: adults % cents
children 10 cents He is good speaker
and is man of thorough education.

A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION.

The convention of trustees and super.
intendents Of insane asylums held at
Menomonie, Wis. last week June 81 / was
one of the most successful in the history
of the association. The three members
of the local asylum board Martin Rap
pei, Louis Wiegand, and Henry Wer
necke were all present. One Of the fea.
lures that was noticeable on the pro.
gram was that there was portion of
the program set apart for the discussion
of agriculture or farm management.
As each of these asylums has farm con
nected with the institution the study of
its management fills a two fold purpose
first the economic consideration of the
institution itself and second the possib
ility of making this model farm and
thus set up an object lesson in the com
munity. Mr.. Wiegand of Cleveland ap.
peared on the program discussing the
subject of Profitable Dairying"
The meeting of representative men of
the state III snch place as MenOmOnle
is itself significant. This little city of
5000 is in many ways a model city Ed.
ucationally it is for its size, unquestion.
ably the first in the United States. Its
asylum has also the marks of progress
that characterizes the other institutions.
The asylum farm contains 700 acres all
of which are in first class condition.
The local board has this year adopted
a new plan which will be followed by
other boards in the state. This il rut.
ting The farm in charge of an agricul.
tural expert. Mr.. f. Rosenthal who has
been engaged for the work is a graduate
of the long course at the University and
has had considerable experience that
particularly fits him for the work.

Grated by the Reiss Coal Co. are temper,

Reiss Co. that complete new docks, with
modern machinery and equipment will
be installed early next year, work to be
started as soon as spring opens. The
company planned to rebuild the dock
this year but the unsettled conditions
and the financial disturbance prompted
orders for temporary repairs and post
ponement of the rebuilding. A large
sum will be expended next year in re.
building the docks which will be made
equal to any on the lakes, it is promis
ed.
Announcement is made that the G.
Reiss Co. has taken a lease .of the new
docks of the Pittsburg Fuel Co. up river

and charters are being made, the first
boat being the Grammer, which will
come here next week. The docks have
been practically re. equipped since erect

with the machinery which was found toe
light for need of the dock and new ca
bles have been installed Peter Reiss of
the Reiss Coal Co. was one of the orig
inal prompters of the new dock which
has capacity of 250, 600 tons storage
and 100000 tons handling. The Reiss
Co. will operate the docks on an exten.
