Pierce Conuty Teachers’ Association.
The Pierce County Central
Teachers’ Association was held at
Ellsworth, Saturday, Feb. 29tli.
Notwithstanding the roads were very
rough, the attendance wasquite large,
and when the time came to call the
association to order many teachers
from all parts of the county were on
liand ready to take part in the dis
cussions.
River Falls sent a large delegation
of teachers and students from the
Normal and the Public Schools. Prin.
Wilson and five of his teachers. Miss
MacGregor, Miss O'Connor, Miss Frye,
Miss Weld and Miss Rollins were
present. Pres. Parker and Pref.
Clark represented the Normal faculty.
About thirty students from the
Normal, and the Senior Class and
several other students from the High
School, were in attendance.
The programme, in the main, was
carried out as published. Some of
the subjects called forth interesting
discussions which were participated
in by many teachers.
Supt. Shaw deserves much credit
for the success of the meeting.
The Circuit Judgeship.
Mu. Editor, and readers of the
Journal:— As we are about to elect
a Circuit Judge in a few days, it oc
curs to me as a farmer and non
partizan sort of a politician, and one of
the multitude, that tee are interested
in this election, —in the man, his
character, style, and fitness, who shall
occupy this exalted position,—and it
is fitting as well as duty that we
investigate and try for the beat. He is
to be our judge; a just one if we can
get it. I know it is common for law
yers to take this matter largely into
their own hands, pass resolutions,
commend or condemn as the case
may be: which is ah right, as far as it
goes; but we who have tlie same right
to action in the matter, and arc
equally amenable, seem to have ig
nored our Interest, our duty in tlie
matter of selecting judges, leaving it
to the profession almost entirely; yet
we, the masses, are four-fold the vic
tims, if there is injustice on the
bench, because wo have to face the
domination of courts, right or wrong,
not having the craft tociidge; there
fore let us call for a just judge; a man
above the ordinary in poin, of purity,
good deportment and morals, a safe,
wise man, whose breath has no scent
of the wine room, whose midnights
are not debauched by cards, oaths,
beer and tobacco; and especially,
friends, let us beseech the man we
vote for, that he spurn the free i<ass
as a dangerous mercenary obligation
not to he tolerated. From gleanings
Ruiongst our sort of i>eople, tlie every
day sort, who have lived for years in
neighborship and acquaintance with
M*\ Helms of Hudson, who is a candi
date for this important position, lie
seems to be worthy and well qualified
according to our ideal. Let us investi
gate. S.

A canvass among the diarists reveals
the fact that Chamberlain’s are the most
popular of proprietary medicines. Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy, especially, is
regarded as in the lead of all throat
trouble remedies, and as such, is freely
prescribed by physicians. As a croup
medicine it is also unexcelled, and most
families with young children keep a bot
tle always handy for instant use. The
editor of the Graphic lias repeatedly
known Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
do tlie work after all other medicines had
failed.—The Kimball (S. D.)Grapliic.

Mutual Insurance.
The question of forming a mutual
insurance company of the property
holders of the dry is being somewhat
discussed. The .’aw on the subject
provides that, “Any number of
persons not less than twenty-five
residing in the same city * * * , who
collectively, shall own property of not
less than twenty-five thousand dollars
in value, which they desire to have
insured, may form themselves into a
corporation for mutual insurance,”
etc. The plan is similar to that under
which farmers’ insurance companies
have been successfully conducted for
years. There is, perhaps, half a
million dollars’ worth of detached
property in this city which might be
brought into a mutual company.
Business property can not be injured,
except by direct authority of the
stockholders. The detached property
in this city is certainly less exposed
than the average farm property, so
that it is fair to compare the
probable cost of insurance with the
experience of our farmer neigh
bors. Tlie farmers’ insurance com
!»any lias been in existence for twenty
years and the total assessments for
lossesduring that time amount toonly
twenty-four mills on the dollar. This
on $500,000 would lie *12,000. Ac
cording to the rates of insurance paid
in this city to the old standard com
panies the assessments for the same
period would have been not less than
sixty mills and on the same amount of
property and would have aggregated
thirty thousand dollars, thus showing
a saving on the mutual plan of *IB,OOO
in twenty years. If these figures arc
not correct let any insurance agent
show where they are at fault. We
want either more light or cheaper
rates.
The Presbyterian Society of Ells
worth dedicated their new church on
Sunday last. The day was beautiful
and very many people took advantage
of this to attend at this important
occasion. Rev. Mr. Burnley of Hud
son preached the dedicatory sermon.
Music was furnished by a select choir
of Ellsworth people who showed by
their efficiency t hat they had taken
special pains in training for tlie
event. The sermon like all discourses
of Mr. Burnley was eloquent and yet
practical and commanded close at
tention from the large audience
gathered. In the afternoon a
children’s service was held by Rev.
Mr. Lewis and in the evening there
was a general service in which several
ministers present participated. The
church edifice was erected by Arthur
Symea of River Falls upon plans
taken mostly from a church in the
more easterly part of the state. It is
a fine structure of modern design
having a seating capacity in the audi
torium < f about two hundred and
twenty-live, and the vestry opening
by large doors into the main room
affords seating capacity for about one
hundred additional. The windows
are filled witli stained glass of neat
designs most of them having legends
announcing that they are cither gifts
or in memory of departed friends.
Tlie church is finely seated witli pews
of new and novel design and comfort
able for sitters. The heating appara
tus is a furnace designed at the village
and one which lias proved successful.
Tiie cost of the church was about forty
live hundred dollars including tlie seat
ing and other furniture. About five
hundred dollars was raised by sub
scription on the day of tlie dedication
and there remains a small debt of
about five hundred dollars which will
be soon taken care of by the energetic
people interested in the church.

HIGH GRADE BICYCLES.
Their Badge of Poverty.—' The
appearance of two cyclists on a Cleve
land Tandem in a rural section caused
a farmer to shout: ‘You fellows must,
be mighty poor. Why don’t vou get a
bicycle apiece?”
Hans Wiger rides a Cleveland.
A Bicycle built for two sometimes
leads to a heroic undertaking of two
to live on an income built for one.
Professor of Astronomy.—ls there
anything which exhibits motion with
out friction except the solar system?
Inspired Pupil.—Yes, sir, a Cleve
land bicycle!
Ixion mde a I'luto wheel.
As college stories tell,
A wheel of such old-fashioned build
He thought he was In !
Rut had he lived to ride u wheel
Of Lozier’. Cleveland or Crescent make,
He aright ban thought he was tn heaven,
And not made much mistake.
It is perhaps true that “everything
comes to him who waits;” but the
man who waits for good roads without
putting his own shoulder to the wheel
will “get left” just as certainly as he
who buys an inferior bicycle with the
hone or expectation of saving money.
“I want ;o be free,” she said, tossing each curl,
•‘And b oomers my freedom enhance,”
But alas ! as she started away with a whirl,
Down, down wiih a crash came the bicycle girl,
And br athed out her life in short pants.
Cyclist’s son, fresh from Sunday
school.—“Papa, what does s-i-n-n-e-d
spell?” “Place them backward, my
boy, and they spell the name of the
man who owns not a Crescent or a
Cleveland wheel.”
Proposals have been frequently
made to take a census of bicycle riders.
This can soon be easily accomplished
by making a count of those who do
not ride.
“Thank Heaven,” said the livery
man, “they can’t use bicycles for fu
nerals.” —Chicago Tribune.
No, but if they ride Crescent bi
cycles they may live forever.
A wheel that is said to be dirt cheap
will lie very apt to turn out to be dear
dirt.
Nobody can give you better advice
than yourself. You I'uow you’ll be
satisfied if you buy a bicycle of
