An Eloquent Lecture

Last evening, Rev. A. M. Bullock of
App eton lectured at the assembly
room in the Masonic Temple to fair
sized audience, the subject of his lee
ture being "Llncoln. The lecturer
had made an exhaustive study of his
subject and presented the character
end life of the Immortal Lincoln in a
new light, and gave the audience a
clearer insight into the character of
the most unique and grandest men
this country, or any other country as
TO that matter, ever produced, The
lecture was replete with many besuti-
full passages and the speaker became
decidedly eloquent at times in MS
delineation of the birth, boyhood and
manhood of Lincoln. His early
struggles, his great humanity, his
noble character. sterling honesty. per-
feet habits, and his success as a law
yer and statesman. That he was
prepared and calledto his great work
as was Moses ana realizing his great
responsibility was faithful, often IN
der circumstances which would have
appalled, a man of less faith in the

trial Statistics

The Commissioner of Labor at
Madison is having such good success
in supplying the farmers throughout
the state with help that he has de-
cided to seek renters for all farmers
desiring to rent their farms. Any
one owning a farm who desires a ten
nant or any one desiring to Gent a
farm should write to the Commission
er of Labur at Madison who also has
on file many applications from per-
sons desiring work on farms. Those
farmers who have not yet been sup
piled sh.cid write soon. The bureau
of Labor is an institution maintained
by the state and it's services can be
secured with out cost either TO the
laboring man or farmer. The COM
missioner has hundreds Of applications
from young men and married men all
experienced in farm work who desire
wulk on farms. Farmers should
avail themselves of this opportunity
to get help before the spring work
begins because these applicants will
seek work elsewhere and will not be
available later in the year.

STEPHENSON ELECTED

Yesterday noon, at the juint session
of the legislature, Hon. Isaac Stephen
son was elected to succeed himself a
United States senator from Wsiconsin,
thus ending the horse play that has
CT aracterized the action Of the legIs-
lature since the first ballot was taken.
There are many in the state who
opposed Mr.. Stephenson at the pri-
mary election, but as he received a
plurality IF the votes at the primary
election considered himself entitled to
the place. The fact tina the spent
money to secure such plurality cuts
no fig ure-tha others did the same,
and the fool primary election law,
made it possible to rob the candidates
and the honor, to the man who would
bear the expense. Repeal the Law
and give all men a chance, as it was
under the old regime, when poor man
might aspire to political honors.
On the twenty third and last ballot
l23 votes were cast, of which number
Mr.. Stephenson received 63 votes and
having a majority was elected-this
being his third election by the present
legislature.

PROGRESS of State UrdindQe

The University of Wisconsin,, de-
partment of soils has recently been u
assisting in the organization of drain
age districts at number of points in
the state, including Black Greek and
Shiocton, west of Green Bay in Out
agamio county. where from 5000 to
5000 acres can be drained by the
straightenlng and deepuning of Black
Greek. This will also give the city
of Seymour an outlet for sewage pur-
pses, if the city deems it advisable to
enter the district. Prof A. R Whit
son, in charge Of the work, in review
ing the work, points out the fact that
this land is largely alluvial soil, and
thus will be much more fertile than
the average marsh soil. If drained,
it will be adapted to corn and hay,
especially to alsike and timothy, and
the better portions will raise grain.
Another district in which much in
terest is shown is in southeastern
Wisconsin along the koshkonong
river, where thousands of acres are
undrained because of the suggishness
of koshkonong Greek. This will! pro-
badly include the drainage of Goose
Lake and Mud Greek, and the rec
lamaticn of frum 4,O00to 5000 acres.
The RattIesnake District is also in
process of organize ton, to drain an
additional 5000 or 1900 acres by a
