LOCAL ELECTIONS.

The following are extracts from a
sermon delivered ia Milwaukee last
Sunday by Rev. Frederick Edwards:
1.-THE question of whether law
hurts business or not should not be
allowed TO interfere with its enforce
ment. That should come before the
act has been passed. After the act
becomes ?. law it should be enforced
regardless of its effects, leaving it to
the people to say whether it shall be
repealed or not.
1--WE talk OF better Milwaukee, OF
Milwaukee as a bright spot on the
map, and Of the things which have
made Milwaukee famous. But let me
tell you that Milwaukee will never be
brighter or better or famous in any
worthy sense among the cities of the
land until it becomes fundamental in
it's conscience and makes up it's mind
at all cost to uphold, obey and en-
force the laws upon the statute books
of the state and the ordinances of the
city without fear or favor"
From the large attendance at the
public meeting on Monday evening,
and from other indications it is plain
ly evident that there will be a deep in
terest in the local elections in Mineral
Point this spring. There will be at
least two candidates for every Office
on the ticket, except, perhaps, for the
Office of assessor. No party principles
will be at stake in the contest. What
is needed above all things is the
election of men who will best enforce
the laws and give the city good gov
eminent; and this should be kept in
mind by every voter. AS so fOrcibly
stated in the quotation above, the
question is not that of determining
what the law should be; but rather
that of obeying and enforcing 1.-THE
laws upon the statute books of the
state and the ordinances of the city
without fear or favor"
To discuss the personal fitness of
candidates for local offices has al
ways been distasteful to the Democrat.
1t would simply be a question between
friends and neighbors, and out of
place and unavailing where all are so
we'll known. Voters should in every
case determine to the best of their
ability which one of contrasting candi-
dates will, if elected, most faithfully
execute the laws and best serve the
city's interests; and having so deter
mined, they should vote accordingly.

that plans have been perfected for the
enlarging of ST. Joseph's Hospital, the
capacity of the institution having be-
come inadequate to care for persons
desiring admission. Two additional

erected, that will contain all the latest
scientific hospital equipment and pro-
viding every facility for the comfort
of patients. ST. Joseph's Hospital is
at Garfield avenue and Burling street,
and is one of the Oldest institutions in
Chicago. Notwithstanding that the
hospital is not endowed, an average
of twenty three cases each month are
cared for free. DIR. John B. Murphy

STOCK JUDGING ARENA
New Animal Husbandry Building
at State University Will Accom-
mOdate 1000 Spectators.


modate 1000 Spectators.
Plans have just been completed for
the new husbandry building for the
college of agriculture at the Univer-
| sity of Wisconsin, the feature of
which is to be a great horse and
cattle Judging pavilion with seating
capacity of 1000 The building will
be 2l0 feet long by ITO feet wide, one
one of the largest buildings of the
agricultural group. The tan-bark
arena of the judging pavilion will be
$50 feet by SO feet, and will be very
well adapted for stock exhibitions.
The new structure will be begun early
this spring, and will be located on
the south side of Linden drive, be-
tween Box-Elder Drive and the horse
barns, so feet back from University
Avenue.
The new building will be fire proof
structure of concrete, faced with
pressed brick, trimmed with stone and
timbers, and rooted with slate. 1t is
to be of Seventeenth Century English
architecture, and promises to be the
most attractive of the agricultural
buildings. The main floor will con-
tain the offices of the members of the
department Of animal husbandry and
the farm superintendent, veterinary
operating rooms, harness and repair
shops, together with feed aud store
rooms. There will also be a demon
stratiOn room for classes in animal
husbandry, dispensary, and live
stock and vehicle washing room.
Beneath the building there will be
cellar for storing roots.
The stables, which will be located
under the seats of the pavilion, will
accommodate from 40 to 80 animals,
as there are y single stalls and IS
large box stalls that will be capable
of division whenever it is necessary
to provide for more space TEMPORARY
ly during stock Judging contests.
This building has for some time
been the most pressing need of the
college of agriculture. The Wiscon-
sin Draft Horse Breeders Associa-
ton and other cattle and horse breed
ing organizations have been looking
forward with interest to this new
building, since it will afford the best
accommodations anywhere in the
state for stock exhibitions and sales.
This animal husbandry building will
be Of great assistance in the efforts to
develop horse breeding in Wisconsin,
just as the activities of the college
during the past fifteen years has re-
| suited in the phenomenal development
OF the dairy Industry of the state.
| The advantages of the stockmen of
! the state which will result from hav-
ing suitable place for conducting
sales of pure-bred live stock will be
of the greatest Importance to stock
breeding in Wisconsin. Stockmen
will bring high quality representatives
of their fiocks and herds annually to
! the agricultural college for sale and
| dispersion throughout the state and
other countries. These sales can be
conducted with the greatest facility
and with the least possible cost to the
sUOckmen interested. Stock sales of
this nature at an agricultural college
are a novel feature in America No
other agricultural college has build
ing of the kind proposed, and no other
college has thus far undertaken work
in these lines.
