SHOWS HOW UNIVERSITY GROWS.
Bio Gain in Number of Students and
in Courses Offered.

The new catalogue of the University
of Wisconsin for the academic year
190S-9, just off the press, shows rapid
development in all departments OF the
institution in the past year. The num-
Der of students enrolled has increased
this year from 4,013 to 1921, making
necessary the addition of nineteen pro-
fessors and fourteen instructors and
assistants to the faculty. The faculty
now numbers 1914 and offers this year
1850 courses of study in the different
departments, eighty-three more than
last year.
In the college of letters and science
SO departments of instruction are now
offering a total of 931 courses, COM
pared with 81 offered in the same col
lege last year. The catalogue also
shows 26 departments in the college Of
engineering, offering 146 courses, 8
more than last year. The college of
law has 40 courses; the depart
ments in the school of medicine offer
Is courses; in the agricultural college
81 courses are given in 10 depart
ments Of instruction in the long and
middle courses. In addition the cata-
logue announces nine other special
courses and departments in agricul-
ture.
The department of university extern
sion has made particularly rapid
growth during the past year. The
number of students enrolled in the
correspondence study courses has
reached 1894, and the courses offered
are PIG in 27 departments, in addition
to the 435 lectures in II different
branches. Some thirty-five of the
courses of study are new this year, in
Guiding thirteen courses in the depart
ment of pharmacy, in which no CORE
spondence work was offered last year.
An interesting contrast is shown be-
tween this latest catalogue and the
first one issued in 1853, during the ad-
ministration of Chancellor J. H. La
throp. There were but 10 pages in the
first catalogue; the faculty numbered
5 professors and 1 tutor, and the stu
dent enrolment was but sc, of whom
% were in the preparatory depart
ment and 43 in the collegiate course in
literature, arts and science.-W.

PUBLICITY HAMBREcHT's CURE.
Says His Bill Will Stop Excessive Use
of Campajun Money.

George P. Hambrecht, assemblyman
from Grand Rapids, has devised bill
which he believes will put an end to
excessive use of money in politics.
The bill first of all provides for full
publicity of campaign expenditures,
and it's author believes that it's sim
plicity and effectiveness will appear
to the people.
The bill requires a candidate FOR
any office, or any person acting III MS
behalf. who gives money to worker
to spend in the candidates behalf, TO
give the worker written Instructions
as to how the cash is to be spent. AT
the same time he must file with the
register of deeds a copy Oh the III
structions with the amount OF money
turned over This is done to give the
people full information regarding the
persons spending the money and now
much is being expended.
I'm addition to this says Mr.. Ham
brecht. II would require the men VINO
receive money to be used IN cam
paigns to register with the register OF
deeds In the case of volunteer work
ers. I would make them register Also
the purpose being to insure absolute
publicity. Thirty days after the cleo
tion I would require all persons VINO
spent money for any candldate'
whether his own or candidates mon
ey, to file detailed statement. /
would make violations Of the law pun
ishable by disqualification OF the can
didate for a place on the ticket or 1ot
the Office to which he is elected.
This law, l believe, does not at
tempt unconstitutional limitations OF
expenditures, but is simple though
effective addition to the corrupt prac'
tees act. My theory is that the PEG,
ple always will choose right When
they are correctly Informed. PUBIC
itv adds to this free choice. PUBLICITY
will of itself restrict expenditures
more effectively than the so-called re-
striction laws like those OF oregon
West Virginia and Connecticut"
The Hambrecht bill also prohlolts
the giving of campaign money TO staCe
employees or political activity by these
employees.

Kellnerville, SO. The three highest
scores for brick cheese were: Casper
Anderegg, La Crosse, 3d. Adolph Trau-
fer. La Crosse, 9166, and Robert Koh-
Ii, Knowles, 91.33.
This exhibit closes the second year
of these cheese and butter exhibitions.
Those who have made high average

Uniuue Insurance.

In France there is a curious form
of life insurance, the popularity being
that the longer man lives the less
his heirs become entitled to- The idea
is that if a man dies young his chill
dren will require help but that by the
time he is fifty they will be old
enough to earn their own living.

American Girls Responsible.

Probably the American woman is
answerable for a good deal of the un-
rest among the daughters of France,
for she comes among them with all
sorts of daring projects and perfectly
lovely clothes. She marries their
brothers, she studies art, music anu
literature in their country and she
walks serenely on along the path OF
liberty to the amazement OF men, an
gels and the Partisan.

Hollow Concrete Fence Posts Cheap

That the cost of concrete fence posts
can be reduced considerably by max
ing them hollow, and that this does
not materially affect their strength
has been demonstrated by Prof c.. A.
Ocock of the agricultural engineering
department of the University of Wis
consin. By few notifications of the
ordinary mold and the use of a gal
vanized iron or wooden core these
hollow posts can be readily made by
any farmer A saving of about four
pounds of cement per post is brought
about by this method.

With single exception, General
Nelson A. Miles participated in every
battle of the army of the Potomac from
Yorktown to the surrender at Apo
mattox courthouse. From September,
1862. until the close of the war he COM
manded in battle his regiment. brigade,
division, and for short time the army
corps to which he belonged, having
been wounded four times = -
He was perhaps ngaged in more hard
fought battles than any general officer
of our army, including s5 distinct bat
ties and over 100 serious affairs in
which artillery, cavalry and infantry
were engaged.
He successfully conducted no. less
than six campaigns against Indians
since the war and received the sur
render of more Indians than any other
man. He received brevets for his serv-.
ices during the rebellion to the highest
that could be given; a medal of honor
for distinguished services at the battle
of Charlottesville May 3, 1853, and the,
thanks of the legislatures of several
states and territories for his services
in Indian campaigns.
Notwithstanding that General Miles
was not trained soldier and but a
very young man at the beginning of
the war, yet he fought and earned his
way upward from the lowest grade to
the highest possible at that time, COM
nanding at % years of age an army

it numbered more than the present
