Prof. Spencer's lecture, Shake
speare's Message to the Twentieth
Century" should be heard by all. 1t
will be revelation to many of US
of the needs of our day, and the
remedies which can be used. Another
lecture of infinite entertaining pos
sibilities is the wit, Humor, and
Shakespeare" with which Prof. Spen-
Ger makes a great hit.
We should bear in mind that these
lectures are not just so many lessons
in Shakespeare-they are more cor
rectly termed interpretations of the
great poet, adapted to entertain the
modern audience, as the original plays
entertained the throngs in London
during tho life of the great writer.
Let us fill the tent to hear Spencer.
He is to appear the fourth day OF
Chautauqua.

JULY FARM NOTES.
BY w. A. FREEHOFF,
College of Agriculture.

Many Wisconsin farmers are impa-
tient to thresh their grain from the
shock, thus saving the expense Of
stacking. Although this plan works
out very well in the drier sections, the
average Wisconsin conditions are
such that it is usually advisable to
stack and give the grain a chance to
Sweat Otherwise 1t may require
attention in the bins, frequently be-
coming badly scorched. Barley is
more likely to retain it's color and
sweetness if stacked under cover.
July and August, with their scorch-
ing days and rush of work, are a Sc
we're task on the farmer, his family
and help. One or two picnics during
these months, outings during which
everybody gets a chance to rest and
relax, will tone up wonderfully the
spirits of all concerned. 1t may seem
like wasting of perfectly good day.

ployes' represent atives in conference
with the railroad managers announc-
ed that 81 per cent Of the men had
voted TO strike for increased wages.
Final action on the proposed tie
up remains with lie general COM
mittee Of 1000 Of the conductors; and
trainmen'S organizations, ana q meet
ing hos been called for Saturday. 1t
is the L. nimous opinion in orcra ting
circles that the strike vote will be
ratified, unless the companies riean-

agree to submite the dispute TO arhi-

U. S. DISTRICT COURT.
Shanks Case Will Consume Much Of
Time Of July Perm.

! The United States Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia with
Judge Edmund Waddill presiding, re-
isumed its session this morning, at
1880 when several minor cases were
disposed of.
In the case of w. P.Rudasill in
Idicted for unlawfuFly using postage
stamps belonging to- the United
States, and the cases of Ellis Brewer
and VIM. P. Graves, indicted yester-
day for carrying on the business of
liquor dealers without paying the Ii
!cense tax required by law, capiases
were issued and the cases set for
trial ait the January term of court.
All jurors and witnesses not in the
panel sitting on the Arthur Shanks
alias West case, together with all
witnesses except those in this case
were excused until tomorrow morning
at 1880.
On motion of the attorneys for the
defense in the case Of Arthur Shanks,
alias Arthur West, accused of inn
proper conduct toward young girls,
Judge Waddill ordered the jury to
retire for few minutes, on motion Of
the attorneys to allow the attorneys
for the defense to present an argu-
ment for motion to the court, to
have the case taken from the jury.
After short argument counsel for
Shanks suggested that court would
be justified in taking the case from
the jury for the reason that the jury
would find it impossible to reach
verdict.
This motion was overruled by
Judge Waddili and the jury brought
back when the trail of Shanks was
resumed after the court ordered the
court room cleared of everyone not
connected with the trial of
this case. From the number of wit
neSses on hand to testify for both
the State and the defense it is expect
ed that theN>rase will take all of today
and puris Of tomorrow.
