Wisconsin Weekly Advocate

State Historical Society WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE VOLUME IV. La Follette vs. Spooner. The position taken by the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate since the late Republican convention has been questioned by a few of our Republican readers, some of whom, while in sympathy with the stand we have taken, think our editorials have been altogether too truculent to conserve the best interests of the party, and that for the sake of harmony it would be well for us to adopt a kind of "forgive and forget" policy. Others have become indignant at what they term our presumption in daring to give expression to our honest convictions, and for having done so we are threatened with the withdrawal of individual patronage and given the alternative of either a discontinuance and retraction from our methods or suffer expulsion forever from the Republican party. For the benefit of those who dissent from the course we have chosen and the manner in which we conduct our journal we feel inspired to make the following answer, and for that purpose have selected the caption, as above, because, in our judgment, it is the proper title for the cause of this action: For that class of Republicans who admonish us to be more conciliatory and to have a higher regard for party success than for party principles, we have but little patience. In our conduct of this paper we strive to be truthful, honest and fair in our dealings with all men and measures. It is not the organ of the wrongdoer, be he politician or statesman, high or low, rich or poor. We are publishing the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate in the interest of the Negro race and not as an exponent of the principles of any political party. Of the internecine strife that has openly existed within the Republican party in this state for the past two years we have had no concern. But, when the chief executive dominated the Republican convention and commanded it to almost repudiate the foremost Republican in the state—Senator Spooner—by failing to give his course as United States senator anything but a conditional indorsement, it struck us with hurtful force and gave us sorrow. Flushed with the glow of success in his first efforts and not contented with the opprobrium he had brought upon his party, Mr. La Follette went further in the pursuit of his selfish and nefarious work. He next sought to encompass the taking of Mr. Spooner's political scalp by making certain his defeat for re-election. In other words, having industriously built up for both offensive and defensive purposes a political machine within the past two years, the strength of which made him an absolute dictator of party destiny, he attempted the most cruel persecution upon the man whom he envied and whose toga he coveted by wielding the party lash upon the bare backs of his vassals to cause them to continue to do his bidding by further carrying out his revengeful and selfish designs. This was a direct effrontery to the interests we represent and have labored so assiduously to conserve. Of La Follette the man we have nothing to say; certain we are that in him we have, as a race, his sincere sympathy for our heretofore unfortunate condition and his friendship; but of La Follette the political dictator, we have much to complain of. Senator Spooner, prompted by his deep sense of justice toward the end that justice be accorded the Negro race, has for years been its vehement defender. His public utterances in its behalf have given hope and life to the aspirations of 10,000,000 loyal citizens for nearly two decades, and who, today, look appealingly to the Republican party of Wisconsin, with an interest that is almost pathetic in its sincerity, to retain this good and grand friend in his present sphere of usefulness. The Negro is ever grateful for whatever is done for him. It was therefore unfortunate, so far as we are concerned, as well as the veriest kind of poor politics and bad judgment, for Mr. La Follette to attempt to block the return of Mr. Spooner to the Senate, even though, personally, they may dislike each other. Aside from tiis, we contend that the principle is outrageously wrong where the chief executive of a sovereign people descends from the exalted position to which he has been chosen by the suffrage of that people and attempts to force them to do for the gratification of his personal spleen what they would not otherwise do. An astute politician would arise above petty personalities and "casting his anchor to the windward" would weigh and follow public sentiment. While we do not uphold "bossism," we cannot refrain from admiring the general tact and diplo- CARTER BREAKS INTO PENITENTIARY Milwaukee and Madison Newspapers Do Their Utmost to Fasten Crime of Rape on Poor, Ignorant Negro; Failing in This, They Railroad Him Into Pleading Guilty to Imaginary Crime. He Gets Five Years. The great "Carter Rape Case" ended today in Judge Donovan's sentencing Carter to five years in state prison for having sexual intercourse with an imbecile female. Thus ends Wisconsin's great rape case. Two weeks ago the Madison and Milwaukee newspapers and the Milwaukee Sentinel in particular published glaring headlines on the front page. a grossly exaggerated account of how a big, burly black brute had assaulted a delicate and refined white girl; how the physicians in attendance declared the victim to be at death's door while the entire sheriff's force of Dane and surrounding counties with a posse comprising all the farmers for miles around with rifles, shotguns and bloodhounds were hunting down the fiend. Knowing the Milwaukee Sentinel's well known hatred of the Negro and that it would not hesitate to place him in the meanest possible light before the public, the editor of the Advocate boarded the train and hurried to the scene of the alleged crime. He visited the Zimmerman home and most of the neighbors and farmers in the vicinity. He then called upon the sheriff and other officials and, lastly, after seeing some of the leading citizens, he called upon Carter himself. We find upon investigation that the accounts of the Negro having assaulted Miss Zimmerman and of the sheriff hunting him with a posse were abominable lies, created and published by newspapers which are actuated, like their prototypes in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, by intense hatred of the Negro and any imaginary relationship between him and a white woman and for the sole purpose of placing the colored man generally in a bad light and inflaming public opinion against him. Carter had been working at Lodi for some time. He is an insignificant little fellow, who has a good reputation, but is addicted to drink. He was passing the Zimmerman home when this woman rapped on the window and called him in. She asked him to get a bottle of whisky macy displayed by Senator Platt in the maintenance of his supremacy. We had been lead to think of better things from Mr. La Follette. As to those Republicans who deem us presumptuous and audacious for taking the stand we do in this muddle, we would have them understand that we are American citizens and as such we propose to have our say in matters concerning the body politic of this government. You cannot intimidate us by threats of excommunication from the party we have known and supported since the attainment of our majority. We have no "lese majesty" in this country to hamper the expression of public opinion. What we have said regarding Gov. La Follette has been said through an honest conviction that he unwittingly gave offense to the Negro in his efforts to down Senator Spooner, while we do not claim for our paper to be the organ of the Republican party, we have not advocated its defeat. We will continue to pursue the even tenor of our way, striving at all times to be honest, just and right. We appreciate the support our efforts have received in our four years of existence in the field of journalism, which has come to us, not from any particular class or party, and hope to continue to merit confidence and respect. We shall also feel at liberty to publish "write-ups" and advertisement matter, the same as other newspapers do, for a consideration of profit, without the slightest compunction as to the changing of our political faith, which we hope will continue to be Republican. In viewing the facts herein contained, we feel that Gov. La Follette, if he is really a manly man, can but commend the course we have adopted in the ardent support we are giving Senator Spooner. The reader may judge for himself how well we have succeeded in making out a case that will sustain the above title—"La Follette vs. Spooner." La Follette is the aggressor. —Eight samples of lemonade analyzed at Leeds, England, have been found to contain lead poison. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, AUGUST 21, 1902. and come back and have a good time. He did so. Both made repeated visits to a neighboring saioon and soon both the Negro and his somewhat uncouth companion were under the influence of the cheap whisky of the neighborhood. A meddlesome neighbor woman came in, saw what was going on and yelled rape. Several farmers came, but knowing the woman's unsavory reputation they paid no further attention to the matter. Some officious reporter got hold of it. The Madison papers saw a fine opportunity to rake up a stink. Milwaukee newspapers followed suit, each vied with the other in exaggerating the matter. The brothers of the woman, the Negro and the father of the woman continued to associate together meanwhile until after several days he was arrested and locked up in Dane county jail. The facts were so notorious that the better element of whites would not allow the fair fame of the state to be sullied by any such measures as were suggested. The court and district attorney, after securing a plea of guilty from the Negro, magnanimously appointed an attorney to defend him and he was given a sentence of five years in Waupun. It is surprising that a certain class of so-called intelligent people are incapable of looking on two sides of any case involving the Negro. A prominent railroad official, after reading the incendiary article published by the Sentinel, wanted to start out and burn him. In any other matter this gentleman would have been guided by common sense, but his hatred of the Negro was too strong. This Carter case should furnish a lesson to our white friends not to swallow whole everything which is detrimental to the colored man which appears in a newspaper. Carter was a poor, ignorant Negro with neither brains nor sense enough to protect himself. His obliging willingness to confess and plead guilty to any charge the state might place against him was evidence of his mental weakness and his plea of guilty should not have been accepted. Had Carter not been a Negro his offense would have passed unnoticed. A Southern Judge on Lynching. After all there's "something good that can come out of Nazareth." A Virginia judge—Judge Tebbs—in addressing the grand jury that is investigating the lynching of a Negro in Loudoun county, Va. last week, while the sensational press of Milwaukee was trying its best to arouse the passion of the people of Dane county to disregard law and order and commit the crime of murder, analyzed the subject for the benefit of the jury in a spirit seldom shown to responsible citizenship south of Mason and Dixon's line. The judge began by emphasizing that the valuelessness of the culprit's life to the community and the viciousness of his character did not condone his lynching, which the judge characterized "as a crime of unexampled magnitude, at least in this community, and of far-reaching consequence, a reproach to our people and a foul blot on the hitherto unstained escutcheon of Loudoun." The judge further pointed out that the worst feature of the outrage was the quality of the men composing the mob. "This mob," proceeds the charge, "was composed only in a small degree, I am told, of the base and degraded among us. It consisted largely of men from whom we had the right to expect better things; men of standing and education in the community; men whom we should expect to find upholding and maintaining, ready to fight for, even to die for, the laws and rights and government so dear to their ancestors; and these men were the leaders in needless violence, in rank lawlessness. If such things are to be upheld by the good people of this land, God save old Loudoun—God save Virginia." If the investigation is inspired and directed by a sense of civic responsibility as enlightened as that of Judge Tebb's charge, a salutary lesson will be taught in Loudoun county, a lesson to be heeded wherever the lynching frenzy breaks out.

E. Jones has formally made public his willingness to accept the nomination for governor, should the Democratic convention see fit to nominate him. A request for news of his intentions, signed by H. P. Jamieson of Poynette, G. W. Stephens of Columbus, J. T. Dixon of Kilbourn, C. E. Smith of Randolph, O. H. Hinrichs, Jr., of Lodi, C. A. Fowier and J. L. Mahoney of Portage, staunch personal and political friends, brought forth the following letter of acceptance: "I am not unmindful of the honor that you, my personal and political friends of long standing, would confer upon me. In the nomination of a candidate for governor the Democratic party should exercise more than ordinary care. Personal ambition should at this particular time be subordinated. Holding these views I have heretofore said nothing upon the mention of my own name for the nomination.

To Editor of Advocate: I received this morning my first copy of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, and I can truthfully say I believe it will develop in the minds of its readers an earnest desire to emulate the most noble lives in their manner of living, to choose the highest plane to be attained through ethical culture. It is to be hoped that the American Negro will continue to cultivate a magnanimous spirit towards those who once were masters, but who now gladly receive them as fellow citizens in the state. And I am sure all the world rejoice at the progress in literary studies they have made. In early childhood my heart was touched by the suffering of the escaped slaves and now I am made glad, through their prosperity.

The success of the Democratic party is therefore essential in order to bring the state back to a proper basis of government. The candidate should be chosen with whom, without sacrificing Democratic principles or lowering the standard of party honor, success may most likely be attained. He must be a man of such character and ability as to inspire the confidence of men without regard to party affiliations. And in both the selection of the candidate and the construction of the platform the convention should build for the future of the party and not look solely to immediate party success. "I will be glad to accept the nomination for governor if in the judgment of the convention my nomination is the best that can be made. Relying more upon your judgment than my own I will authorize the presentation of my name to the convention, and will assist you as best I can in making the necessary effort to do so properly. If our efforts shall not result in securing the nomination I shall not be disappointed, but will, as always, work for the party success to the extent of my ability. Respectfully yours."

"The Eternity of God, a Pledge of Perpetuity of the Church." was the theme upon which the young divine discoursed interestingly last Sabbath evening. The text was taken from Ps. 102, 27-28.

Having been commissioned by the directors of the Middle States and Mississippi Valley Exposition to solicit exhibits, representative of the industrial genius of the Negro race, I earnestly urge upon all my fellow citizens to at once contribute something to the cause that will properly and intelligently represent the progress of the race in this great commonwealth. The state of Wisconsin has afforded ample opportunities without prejudice or distinction as to race, creed, color or previous conditions, for all to make their mark therein. The opportunity now presented for the Negroes of Wisconsin to show to the general public what has been accomplished under these favorable conditions should not be neglected. 1, therefore, respectfully request that every Negro—man, woman and child—who has accomplished anything of merit, either with hand, pen, brush, pencil or needle, will at once communicate with me relative to having the same entered as a part of the Wisconsin exhibit.

One of Them Had a Revolver and Com- pelled the Guard to Give Up ‘ His Arms. Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 20.—The officials of the state penitentiary and the citizens of Frankfort were thrown into a state ef wild excitement this morning by a riot in the prison, started by an attempt to gain their liberty on the part of three desperate murderers, Lafayette Brooks of Morgan county and Wallace Bishop and T. Muiligan of Kenton county. The riot, which began at 6 o’clock and lasted until 12 o'clock. resulted in Bishop being fatally wounded, Mulligan was shot in the shoulder, and a negro convict, Albert Ransom of Louisville, whom the desperadoes had pressed into service, was hit. by a rifle ball. The rioting started while Brooks, Mulhgan and Bishop, one of whom had a pistol con- cealed about his person, were coming out of the dining room at 6 o'clock this morning to answer a_ hospital call. Suddenly one of the convicts drew a weapon and compelled Guard A. H. Gill to give up his arms. Guard F. F. Hurst. who rushed to Gill's assistance, was also captured by the convicts. Capt. Mat Madigan, acting warden, then rushed forward with six guards and fired on the bunch, but no one was wounded. ‘The convicts then ran across the yard and at the entrance to the reed depart- ment of the chair factery captured Charles Willis, a foreman, They cov- ered him with their pistols and placing him between them and the guards re- treated to the rocker department in the chair factory, from whence they could command a view of the entire yard. Ata window they stationed Willis and Brooks, with a revolver m ibis band, took a position just beside the captive, resting the muzzle of the weapon on tke fore- man’s left side. The convicts then defied Warden Lillard to attempt to capture them, sheuting that they would kill the foreman at the first move made against them. Shops Ordered Ciosed. In a short time several hundred citi- zens, many of them heavily armed, gath- ered at the prison gates, but the warden denied admission to all. He issued orders for all the shops to close and for all the prisoners to be returned at once to their cells. He then placed a guard of sixty men around the building in which the desperadces had barricaded themselves and called on them to surrender. The convicts’ only reply was a taunt. For the protection of Foreman Willis the warden then determined to starve the des- peradoes into submission. In about half an hour a note was dropped from the window of the room where the convicts had taken refuge asking Warden Millard and Deputy Warden Madigan to come up under a flag of truce and deal with them. This demand was ignored. Shortly after’ this Jas. Buckley, former city work house keeper and Morgan Brewer, a former guard at the penitentiary. climbed to the roof of a residence, overlooking the build- ing in which tne convicts had taken refuge, and fired several shots into the room where the desperadoes were in- trenched. They were compelled to de- sist, however, as Foreman Willis was forced to the window in the line of fire. | He called to the men to stop shooting and informed them that a negro convict whom the desperadoes had forced into service had been shot in the shoulder. At 9 o'clock another note was dropned from the window offering to surrender if the men were insured safe delivery to the cell ones This request was also ig- noved. ‘The convicts asked that Capt. Lillard and Capt. Madigan come in person to escort them, but it was believed that this was merely a ruse to kill the offi- cials. Nearly a Ruse. Later another letter was ecu from the desperadoes by Frank Brooks of Bond county. The note stated that if the warden would come to the head of the steps leading to the reed department the convicts would surrender, first send- ing their weapons down by Frank Brooks. Warden Lillard prepared to accept the terms ef this note and as a matter of | precaution half « dozen guards were placed in the hospital overlooking the reed department. Warden Lillard, ac- companied by eight men, then proceeded to the ook oF tie wiaieway. | Gadccoly the erack of a Winchester was heard, showing that the note was but a ruse. “We got Bishop,” shouted a guard. “He is dead.” The prisoners had emerged from the reed room as they had. promised, with hands up, but as they pro- ceeded down the stairway, Bishop dropped his hands to his side as if to_ draw a weapon. He had hardly made the motion when one of the warden's party fired, the — bullet striking Rishon in the breast, inflicting a fatah wound. Wher Bishop fell Mul- ligan and Brooks sank to their knees, begging the warden to save their lives, and by 10:30 o'clock the two desperadoes, heavily shackled and accompanied by ten men with drawn revolvers, were placed in their cells and quiet had been restored. After the men had been securely locked np it was discovered that Mulligan had been wounded in the shoulder, though A YOUNG MAN’S GRIT.

Torpedo Boats are Repulsed in First At- tack—Gigantic Mimic War Next Week. Rockport, Mass., Aug. 20.—The blue squadron is massed in Rockport harbor for the gigantic mimic war that will be waged off the Atlantic coast during the next week. Conditions were precisely as in time of actual war. No civilian was allowed aboard any ship from the faship Wear- sarge to the diminutive Scorpion. In di- reet contrast to that of the past two nights was the spectacle in the harbor Jast_night. Like huge ‘gray ghosts, the Kearsarge, Brooklyn, Alabama and Massachusetts lie in the moonlight, surrounded by the Scorpion, Hist, Nina and Leydon. At 10 o'clock, when the town is just sinking into repose, after the unwonted excitement of the past few days, sud- denly the ships awoke as if to action, As if by magic the searchlight of every ship blazed out ashore and out to sea. Sig- mals fiashed from ship to ship in hurried succession. Guns began pealing from the formid- able sides of the Kearsarge in booms that shook town and harbor. Ship after ship, opened fire, while the crack of small guns mingled with the boom of monsters in the cannonading that could be_heard for miles. The torpedo boats, that in mid-forenoon had withdrawn to the south, were sighted far out to sea, coming in for a miduight attack. In a twinkling the signal was given, and ships were cleared for action, guns were manned and trained on the imaginary enemy of seven black boats, small, but each capable of destroying the most powerful battleship afloat, if within range. Admiral Higginson, asleep in his cabin, was the only man aboard the fleet who knew of the attack and when the call to quarters sounded 2500 men_ responded. The torpedo boats were repulsed accord- ing to the code of mimic war, for they were destroyed by the squadron. At 11 o'clock the flotilla surrendered and firing ceased. Not a torpedo boat got within striking distance before being discovered. SCHWAB GOES TO FRANCE. Says He will Not Resign Presidency of the United States Steel Cor- ji poration.

In the third place, I am not going to resivn and have no intention of retiring from the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation.” paorbeta A 62 ESE ee Friends of R. R. Remington Say He Showed No Signs of De- Tangement. Newport, R. I., Aug. 20.—The suicide of Robert R. Remington continues to be the leading topic of conversation with society people. Remington’s brother ar- rived at Newport last night. He says the story of Remington being of un- sound mind is untrue. He emphatically denied the statements made by James J. Van Alen, and declared that his brother's personal friends, and those associated in business with him, never questioned his sanity. Mr. Van Alen’s secretary called at Remington’s boarding house after_ the suicide and obtained two letters Miss Van Alen had written to Remington, and which the latter did not receive. Miss Van Alen is prostrated over the af- fair and is still confined to her room and attended by a physician. As a result of the suicide it is understood there has been a reconciliation between Mr. Van Alen and his daughter, Miss Sarah Van Alen, who have not been on friendly terms since the marriage of his daughter to Robert J.

FIGHT TO THE BITTER END, Mineworkers’ President Sees No Prospect of Settling Strike. INTERCESSION USELESS. Baer Makes Gueutiteatsne Answer 2 Appeal that He Make a Slight Concession. Chicago, Aug. 20,.—“A fight to the bit- ter end” is the way President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America today put the situation in the anthracite coal strike. He said he saw nothing for him to do but to hold his men firm. Even an appeal to the Ameri- can people for intercession he thought would be of no avail. “I see nothing ahead but strife,” he said. “There are many rumors of action by influential people to bring about a speedy settlement of the strike, but these have all.been vague and at present I know of none on foot. Our position is too well known to re- peat. We favor arbitration. Since the operators, however, Will not budge, the fight resolves itself inte a prolonged struggle. The weakest will lose. The mine workers are well fixed financially, We shall not give in.” An Appeal to Baer. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 20.—W. F. Clarke, a photographer of this city, re- cently addressed a letter to President Baer of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company appealing to him as a Christian to settle the miners’ strike. The writer said,,if Christ was taken more into the business affairs there would be less trouble in the world and that if Mr. Baer granted the strikers a slight concession they would gladly return to work and the president of the’ Philadel- -phia & Reading Railroad Company would have the blessing of God and the respect of the nation. President Baer replied as follows: “I See you are evidently biased, in, your re- ligious views in favor of the right of the workingman to controi_a business iv which he has no other interest than to secure fair wages for the work he does. I beg of you not to be discouraged. The rights and interests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for, not by the labor agitators but by the Christian men to whom God in His infinite wisdom has given the control of the property in this country. Pray earnestly that right may triumph, always remembering that the Lord God omnipotent still reigns, and that His reign is one of law and order and not of violence and crime.” Bishop Potter Disappointed. New York, Aug. 20.—Prominent among the long list of passengers who arrived today on the steamship Oceanic from Liverpool were J. P. Morgan and Bishop Henry C. Potter. Mr. Morgan declined to be interviewed, saying he had nothing to give out for publication. “T am surprised and sadly disappoint- ed to find the coal strike still unsettled,” said Bishop Potter. “It is certainly too bad that it has not been settled long since. I supposed it was all over. The anthracite coal operators have all along maintained a false position, They take the stand that they will not deal with the organizations but insist on dealing with the men as individuals. Now this is all wrong. Any body of men whose interests are common have the right to organize into an association for mutual. protection, and are entitled to recognition as an organization in matters which af- fect their individual and combined in- terests.” Protected by Strong Guard. Wilkesbarre, Pa. Aug. 20.—The Warnke washery at Duryea resumed op- erations this morning under a_ strong guard. The works are surrounded by deputy sheriffs and coal and iron police.

Newport, R. L., Aug. 19.—The greatest sensation in high life that ever took place at fashionable Newport developed when Robert R. Remington of New York, who, society expected, was soon te marry Miss May Van Alen, committed suicide by shooting himself in the reac- ing room of one of Newport’s fashion able clubs. Ten days ago it was reported that the wedding had been postponed in- definitely and that in all probability it never would take place. ‘There were few in the reading room at thé time. Mr. Remington was in one of the rooms on the second floor of the club over the barber shop. At 2:30 o'clock noises like shots were heard, but similar sounds made by automobiles have got to be so common that no attention was paid to them at first. Shortly after, the bar- ber notified the clerk in the office that he heard the noises and te him they | sounded like shots from the upper part of the house. An investigation was be- gun, and upon entering the room on the second floor Mr, Remington was fourd lying on the floor, apparently dead. Bullet in the Brain. Dr. Ecroyd found two wounds. Ounce was in the right temple, which the doc- tor said was the first shot fired. The other was fired into the mouth, the builet taking an upward course through the roof and brain, The body was removed to an under- taker’s room, where it now is awaiting a claimant. Remington's brother, who is in Pittsburg, has been notified. It 1s understood that Remington left a final letter for Miss Van Aien, which has been delivered. On_ previous visits to Newport Mr. Remington had been seen at the Casino und mingled with the fashionables, but his absence from his usual haunts ou this visit was the cause of much comment. Shortly after noon Mr. Remington was keen coming up Bellevue avenue from the direction of the Van Alen villa. He was walking slowly, with his hands in his trousers pockets and with his head bowed. He was on the west side of the avenue, a side of the street never used by the society people. Several remarked as he passed the Casino that Mr. Rem- ington appeared to be ill. Jilting Believed to Blame. The general impression prevails in Newport that Miss Van Alen had given Mr, Remington up, and that he felt so bad over it that he took his life. At both the big balls of the last week Miss Van Alen left Mr. Remington severeiy alone. She did not dance with him nor sit,atgthe table with him at supper. Io oné instance Mr. Remington left early in the evening before the cotillon was danced. It was remarked at the time that Miss Van Alen was treating Mr. Remington coldly. There had been no denial up to that time of the engage- aan GOLF EXPERT DIES. Hollabird, Whose Medal Score of 7: Has Never Been Equaled, Succumbs to Typhoid Fever. Chicago, I!..

Pren- tiss, wife of the president of the Hay- den-Clinton National Bank, yesterday afternoon and secured $4000 worth of jewels and a sum of money, the amount of which has not been accurately ascer- tained. Mrs. Prentiss was alone in the library when the burglar entered. At the point of a revolver she obeyed his order to de- liver to him two rings on her hands valued respectively at $800 and $1800, and other jewelry. Then she was led te the bathroom and locked in while the man ransacked the house. No trace of the thief has been found by the police. He carried a lantern and wore on his cap a_badge marked “In- spector” and claimed at other houses he visited to be in the employ of the local gas company.

MAY REACH A MILLION Elgin Failure, is Likely to Involve Wis- consin Farmers in Heavy Losses. | Belvidere, IL, Aug. 19.—The failure o¢ the Elgin Creamery Company, which at first was reported to involve a loss ty the farmers of Illinois, Wisconsin ang Indiana of $350,000, is now believed to be little short of $1,000,000. The com- pany operates 130 creameries and the same system prevails in all. aud in three creameries in this vicinity alone the com- pen: owes over $31,000 to the farmers. t is learned that this failure has been anticipated and the papers which were filed on Saturday transferring the four Siants in this county to Mrs. Melinda Maxwell of Grand Kapids, Mich... were drawn up and placed in a sealed package six months ago. e The farmers in Boone county are indiz- nant and demand an investigation. ‘They assert that the company was always thirty days behind on payments for miik and that every one of the thousands of farmers who were engaged by the con- cern will be out for his month’s milk, his work and the haulage. Sauls assured the angry farmers that the embarrassment was only temporary and affairs would soon be straightened out. When the action of transferring the properties in this county became known the town was thronged with farm- ers sceking legal advice. Between $10,000 and $12,000 is due at Garden Prairie, about $8000 at Capron, over $12,000 at Sharon and at Union 2 larger amount still. Although Sands paid the farmers every two weeks, patrons claim that he usually owed them for thir- ty days’ milk, and at Garden Prairie the company owes everyone for thirty days’ milk, according to the statement given out. A mystifying feature in connection with the filing of the deeds of transfer is the fact that the papers were sent in a ealed package six months ago to a local firm with the request that the nackase be left unopened until they received wort to opem it. Saturday a telephone and telegraph message were received from 2 Grand Rapids attorney to break the seal and file the papers. This act is looked upon with suspicion by the farmers and a legal tnvestigation will follow. FIERCE FIRE RAGING. ‘ Many Square Miles of Timber in British Columbia Burned Over—Mines are Damaged. | Ymir, B.

Wagon roads and bridges have been destroyed. Wild Horse Creek, where a pumber of important mines are situated, was hardest hit. From the eyanide works of the Ymir Company td the Foghorn mine, a distance of five miles, every building has been destroyed and the cribbing and bridges on the main road and its branches burned. The cyan; ide plant was saved by the efforts of tiw employes, who dug holes in which they immersed themselves in water up to thei necks while they handled the hose in short shifts. he buildings of the Wil- eox and Biack Rock mines were oblit+ erated. At the former mine the men took refuge in the tunnels, into which the wind blew the flames which ignited the timber. With a meager supply of water. handled in tin cups, the men kept the fire from spreading until the danger was passed. a Officers Searching for Assassins of Pearl Fisher and Wife Near Mus- catine, Ia.

We were sitting on a tete in the parlor, Dolly and I. We like the tete, it is so small and cozy, just room enough for two—at a pinch. The light is turned down. I don't like to waste her father's gas, you know. I have asked an important question, she has said "yes" and the trouble is over. "Now, Dick," she began, rubbing her lear little nose against my cheek, "have you always been a good boy?" Dolly's mamma is responsible for that question, and I'll bet 30 cents on it. "Come, now, own up." "Own up what?" "Oh—everything." That would be a rather big contract, so I try to temporize: "Well, Dolly, I never murdered anybody." "I don't mean that." "Well, then?" "Were—were you ever wicked?" "I killed a cat once." "Now, Dick!" and Dolly looks as dignified as five feet two of sweetness can do. "I mean, did you ever—er—gamble?" "Gamble? Oh, no, indeed." I think best to forget those games of "draw" that "Devil Dick" played out West. "I'm so glad." Here follows a brief interval for refreshment. Dolly says: "I know, you old dear!" More refreshments. "Now." resumes Dolly, when she has recovered her breath, and we have settled down to earth again, "were you ever ever" "Squiffy?" I ask. "Goodness! What's that?" Dolly looks frightened. I reassure her. "Don't be alarmed, dear. 'Squiffy' is a Chinook word, meaning to get 'chucked.'" "Oh," with fine disgust, "and what does 'chucked' mean?" I remember that she is a brotherless girl, so I talk United States. "It means to get intoxicated." "And were you ever that way?" "Certainly not." Of course it isn't necessary to tell her about last election night, nor my welcome home from Montana, and a few other affairs of that sort. "And now, Richard, there is one more thing I want to ask." That settles it. When a girl sits up straight and calls me "Richard," I can guess what is coming. guess what is coming. "Did you ever make love to another girl?" There! I knew she would ask it. But I'll fool her. I'll tell the truth—some of it. So I answer, promptly: "I did once." I don't tell her that I was engaged to three of them at the same time. Particulars are tiresome. "And he owns up to it!" this from Dolly, addressing the universe in general. "Certainly I do. Would you have me tell a falsehood?" I ask with judicial severity. severely. "When was it, Dick?" "When was it, Dick. "Away back in the dark ages." It was yesterday afternoon, but that is a detail. "Who was she, Dick?" "Well," I'm speaking at random, "do you remember Louise Darrell?" "That girl with the horrid Roman nose?" Dolly's nose is a dear little retrusse. "So you made love to her!" Now the fact is I didn't—much—but I think best to say I did. "Well, Dick, I certainly admire your taste." This is in a tone of withering sarcasm. I am properly crushed. "But I hadn't seen you then." "Of course not, you old dear!" The usual pause. "Did you ever kiss her, Dick?" Did I? Great Scott! But I promptly say no. Dolly shakes her head, and looks at me critically. "I am afraid you are an old rascal." Now I know she is pleased. A girl likes to think that her lover has been a wee bit "wicked." But I dissemble. True. I admit being old—I really am nearly 23—but I deny being a rascal. So Dolly tries a new tack. "Tell me, Dick, were you ever in love really and truly in love—before?" Was I ever in love before! Let—me—see. There was Molly, whom I loved to distraction for two weeks at least; and Sarah, the amateur actress, whose divine Pauline to my Claude captured the audience and myself at the same time; there was Julia, the Boston girl, who discussed atomism, and Browning, and Egyptology, Kipling's verses, Howell's novels, and other queer things; and there was Lottie, too—dear, sugary little Lottie—who fell overboard while cruising last summer, whereupon I saved her life and lost my heart, pro tem. There were others—Clara, Maude, Doris, lovely nymphs of Bar Harbor; and Belle, who pedalled; and Kitty, who tennised; and Clarice, who golfed. Yes, I rather think—"Why don't you answer?" speaks up Dolly. "I was trying to remember. "I should imagine you were trying to forget." "Well, if you think that——" "You danced with that dreadful Amy Lee three times last night." So! Dolly is getting personal. I retort in kind: "And you danced four times with that chuckle-headed Bob Dawson." "Mr. Dawson is a gentleman, if you please." "And Miss Lee is a lady, by your leave." Dolly looks contrite. "Amy is my dearest friend, Dick." "And Bob is my sworn brother." "I didn't mean what I said." "Neither did I." We pause and make up in the usual way. "Now, Dick," observes Dolly, "I want you to promise me one thing!" Hello. I think to myself. What is Dolly up to now? "Guess what it is," she adds. "Give up smoking? Billiards? What, then?" "Your club." There's a body blow. "What put that into your head?" I ask, ominously. "Mamma. She says no clubman can ever be a devoted husband." Indeed! So my prospective mother-in-law is at it already. She must be squelched. "You will do it, won't you?" coaxingly. "Yes, on condition that your mother never suggests anything else." "Dick!" screams. "Mamma was right. She warned me A THOMAS W. LAWSON'S "BORALMA" Thomas W. Lawson's Boralma is not in fit condition to race "The Abbot," say his surgeons. He is sore and lame and needs a season's let up if he is ever to amount to anything again. Lawson is greatly disappointed over the failure of his favorite that you would try and influence me against her." "Now, Dolly," soothingly. "You needn't answer me, sir. I see that we could never, never be happy together. Dear mamma—" There! I would have consoled her, but for that "dear mamma." As it is, I remark: "Very well, Miss Van Duyn, if that is you opinion—" "It's my opinion, Mr. Langley." "So be it, then. Good night." "Good night." As I go down the steps I meet Dawson coming up. "Hello, Bob!" "Hello, Dick!" I think I'll call on Amy.—New York Daily News. STRAW HAT LOCKED UP. STRAW HAT LOCKED UP. "Please send a safe expert down here. This is the office of the assistant attorney-general for the postoffice department. Some one shut the big vault. It hasn't been closed in five years and we don't know the combination. Please rush a man, because there's something in the safe that must come out right away. Hurry up." This message was received over the 'phone at the treasury department at Washington one day not long ago, and a messenger rushed around, found an expert on safes, and the expert gathered his tools and hurried to the assistant attorney-general's office. He found half a dozen men grouped around a big vault in the back room, one of them looking first at the closed steel door and then at the clock on the wall. The expert knew it must be something important and did his best, with the result that in a few moments the massive door swung open. The safe was empty, save for a packet of dust covered papers in a compartment and a new Panama hat on one of the shelves. The man who had been fidgeting and looking at the clock gave a cry of delight, grabbed the hat, thanked the safe expert, glanced again at the clock, and rushed out of the room. Everybody, except the safe expert, laughed. The safe man was about to make a few side remarks about the man who had telephoned for him when a clerk took him aside and explained that a few days before the man who had grabbed the panama headgear had walked into the office and told the assistant attorney general and all the clerks within hearing that the hat had cost him only 98 cents, and that it was a wonderful imitation, made by a new process and not to be told from the original. He named the store where he had purchased it, and said there were only a few more left. As a result every official and clerk who had examined the hat took a few minutes off that day and went to the store in question and asked for a 98-cent panama. And each of the prospective purchasers was much astonished when the man behind the counter pulled out a slip of paper, asked the name of the prospective purchaser, and checked it off on his list. Then the salesman explained that it was all a joke, and that a bet was on to see how many people would take a $40 panama hat for a cheap imitation on a mere say-so. During the day about 200 officials and clerks in the postoffice department tried to buy hats for 98 cents apiece. When the man who started the trouble next appeared in the office he placed his hat on a shelf in the safe, knowing that it was never closed. It closed on this occasion, however, no one seems to know how, and the hat stayed there all night, for no one remembered the combination, and while the assistant attorney general was trying to think of it 4 o'clock came, and the treasury safe expert went home. The man whose hat was in the safe had to catch a train this morning, and he did not want to leave town without his panama, so the safe expert was led to believe that the fate of the nation hung in the balance. Artificial Coloring Matters. The number of artificial coloring matters prepared since Perkin's discovery nearly fifty years ago of the preparation of aniline dyes from coal tar has been enormous. It is estimated that at the present day over 3,000,000 different individual dye stuffs are easily accessible to out industries, while at least 25,000 form the subject of patent specifications. The number of coloring matters furnished by natural agencies is comparatively small, and those that do exist threaten soon to be ignored in favor of coal tar derivatives. Canada's Foreign Trade. The aggregate of Canada's foreign trade, as stated by the Dominion authorities, for the year ended June 30, 1902, is $414,517,358, an increase of $36,827.673 over last year. The imports for consumption, including coin and bullion, amounted to $202,791,595. The value of dutiable goods was $118,657,496 and of the free goods $77,823,694. The total exports were $211,725,563. The exports of domestic produce amounted to $196.105,240, an increase of $19,966,048 over 1901 Dumont Plans Trip from Coney Island Over New York and Harbor Railroad to Provide Money.

How One Bad Negro Was Converted at a Revival. "Back in the '70s," said a man from Arkansas, "I attended a negro revival in one of the counties lying in the St. Francis basin, and the church was within a stone's throw of the St. Francis river, a beautifully clear stream which gurgles out of the earth somewhere above the sunk lands, and sweeps along the eastern edge of Crowley's Ridge, emptying into the Mississippi about ten miles above Helena. The spirit of religion had been stirred up to fever heat and the negroes were fearfully wrought up. They made the hills ring for miles around the place where the meeting was held. There were many converts, many men and women who had gone up to the mourners' bench to be prayed for. The white people of the surrounding country would occasionally go to the church just to watch the proceedings, hear the strange, weird music of the singers, and see the negroes shout. Negroes are great shouters in the backwoods, and they tell the most amusing and marvelous tales imaginable when they are giving in their experiences. Mohammed's description of his visit through the seven upper regions is not a marker in comparison. One night a bad negro was suddenly converted. He told of his experience with the redeeming spirit. At the end of his miraculous story he was overcome by his feeling and began to shout, and the shouting wound up in a swoon. He was carried out of the church and laid on the side of the hill in a bed of leaves. Leaves were plentiful, as it was in the fall of the year, and the negro convert was almost buried in these dry and fallen vestments of the trees. The negro did not remain in his swoon very long. There was a crowd of mischievous boys in the neighborhood. One of them stuck a match in the dry leaves, and in a short while the negro was almost enveloped in flame. He came to, jumped up, and made a desperate dash down the side of the hill. He never knew the cause of the fire, and the next day he was telling the most marvelous stories in the world about the dream he had of going to hell, and he always believed the devil had something to do with setting the leaves afire. It made a consistent Christian out of him."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. St. Vincent's Flowers. Our St. Vincent correspondent writes: There is one remarkable fact in connection with the recent eruptions which tends to disprove the statements of certain scientists that volcanic dust is not a fertilizer, namely, that in the gardens in Kingstown, St. Vincent, where volcanic dust has fallen many inches deep, there has rarely been seen such a splendid show of flowers. They have come out in a wonderful way, so that every one remarks on it. It is recorded that after the eruption of 1812 the quantity of produce on the estate was unprecedented. As illustrating how suddenly death came during the eruption, I may mention that in some houses in St. Vincent people were found sitting round their tables at tea. One man had a smile on his mouth, and had eudently died with a word on his lips. Another had a pipe in his mouth and his hand outstretched for a match.—London Mail. SCHWAB IS A SICK MAN. Retires Indefinitely from an Active Business Life. SEEK SOME QUIET NOOK. SEEK SOME QUIET NOOK. No One. Loretta, Pa., Aug. 18.—President Charles M. Schwab of the United States Steel Corporation, has accepted the advice of his physicians and decided to retire indefinitely from an active business life. He will leave America to seek some quiet nook in a foreign clime where not an echo of the strenuous life he has led can reach him. This information is authentic. Dr. Golden never leaves the Schwab home and the exact nature of his patient's illness cannot be learned through him. Mr. Schwab is not confined to his bed, but spends much of his time on the wide veranda, which affords fresh air and a sweeping view of the mountain slope. He is always with his wife or his parents. The strange part of Mr. Schwab's illness is that he is always within view of those who call at his house, yet he will not allow any person to approach him. Heretofore the visitor to the Schwab home was greeted with a hearty welcome and a vigorous handshake. Now the visitor is met at the entrance and told that Mr. Schwab cannot be seen. Inmates of the family received the same message [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. CHARLES M. SCHWAB. and none has been able to converse with President Schwab since he came back to his home. Will Go Abroad The people of this town, who still call him Charlie, because of their early and intimate acquaintance with him, are discussing his prospective departure. They know he is a sick man and are relieved that he will spend possibly a year in an effort to regain his health. The presence of sisters belonging to the Order of Mercy in his home day and night since Thursday was another indication of illness. The nuns were not visitors, but it is generally known that they are nursing the man who has so many times befriended them and their institutions. The knowledge of the people of Loretto is that Mr. Schwab is going away somewhere. His destination will be kept a secret and he will do nothing but seek health until his nerves have been restored to their normal condition and his mind fully relieved of the great strain resulting from so many business cares. Will See No One. It was after learning that his health was very bad and that he intended to devote a year's time to recuperating that a correspondent passed into the grounds leading to the palatial home on the mountain top. Mrs. Schwab said that her husband would not see any person and had not been receiving visitors for several days. Mr. Schwab sat on a couch within hearing. A paper was before his eyes. He exhibited no interest and made no attempt to move. Business associates, it is said, have met with a similar reception during the past two days. Mr. Schwab has been directed by his doctors to rid his mind of all business cares and he is obeying the orders religiously. Inquiry among the people of the town who have conversed with the Schwabs fully corroborated the stories that he intended to retire from active business life. His friends, however, deny that if he leaves the United States Steel Corporation it will be at the dictation of any person other than himself. Retires from the Presidency. New York, Aug. 18.—The retirement of Charles M. Schwab from the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation is now commonly accepted as determined upon. In wellinformed quarters it is believed that his retirement will be followed by extensive changes in the membership of the organization. SHIPWRECK IN HARBOR. Fierce Gale at Cape Town Causes Collision and the Death of Twenty-ty-Five Sailors Cape Town, Aug. 18.—A great gale prevailed in the harbor on Friday. The British bark Highfields collided while entering the harbor with the German steamship Kaiser. The chief officer of the Highfields says that the bark sank almost instantly, and that twenty-five of her crew were drowned. Capt. Dunham, ten men, and himself clung to the bridge, which floated, but the captain and others were washed off. The chief officer and two other men were rescued after having been six hours in the water. A number of vessels went ashore. The British ship Brutus, Capt. Dallachie, of 1542 tons, was one of them, and it is expected that she will be a total wreck. The crew were saved in the lifeboat. The Swedish bark Varunu was abandoned. All on board were saved. ROOSEVELT TRICK SAVES LIFE. Instructions Given Two Years Ago Aids in Killing Two Bears. Rifle, Col., Aug. 18.—W. E. Tribble is the hero of a desperate hand-to-hand encounter with two bears, and that he escaped with his life was due in part to the visit of President Roosevelt to this part of the country two years ago. Mr. Roosevelt showed the old guide just how to give te coup de grace to a bear with the knife. Tribble, while in the mountains, was surprised by a grizzly and succeeded in dispatching him a la Roosevelt. When confronted by another big bear he dispatched it to a like manner. Tribble was covered with wounds, but managed to crawl to his horse and ride to camp, where he lost consciousness. WILL WED MAN WHO FOUGHT AGAINST HER. Wisconsin Girl's Claim to Property in Oklahoma Sustained by the Government. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 19.—The government has rendered a decision in favor of Miss Minnie Lawson of Westfield, Wis., by which she becomes the legal claimant to a valuable homestead in Canadian county, Oklahoma. She arrived last week from Wisconsin, only to ascertain that her contestant was A. H. Beam, a sweetheart of former years and an acquaintance of thirty years. The government held Beam had used his right to homestead in Dakota several years ago. Miss Lawson immediately filed on the claim, renewed the old friendship with Beam and they are to be married on Christmas day. ARMED POSSE ARE CHASING TWO BAD MEN Fugitives Suspected of Having Killed Watkins Newman Say They will Not be Taken Alive. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 19.—A telephone message to this city early this morning relates that the heavily armed posse chasing the murderer of Watkins Newman, the prominent and wealthy young bachelor of Jefferson county, who was burned to death Sunday morning, has surrounded the two men on the summit of Bay mountain and will take them before night, by burning the house if necessary. Both the sheriffs of Hamblin and Jefferson counties are on the scene with determined men. Firing has already begun, the two men defiantly shouting that they will not be taken until dead. Additional evidence in the affair has shown that when Newman was first assaulted he resisted, but in the struggle was mortally wounded. Then his two fiendish assailants, who were actuated by revenge, seized and bound him to the post of his bed, then firing the house. They were trailed by several clues until located this morning. It is feared that if taken alive they will be lynched, as scores of men are hurrying to the scene. FOUR LIVES LOST. House of Settler Blown Down and His Wife and Three Children are Killed. Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 19.—A terrific storm passed over the eastern part of this state, coming from the direction of the Turtle mountains. Reports received from Rolla say that four deaths occurred eight miles east of here, as a result of the tornado. The house of a settler whose name is unknown was blown down and his wife and three children were killed. His son was killed instantly and his wife and little daughters were caught in the ruins and so badly crushed that they lived but a short time. The country about there is sparsely settled and no other casualties are reported. The storm passed directly over Rolla, but did no damage there. Beyond there, however, the wind apparently increased in fury and many substantial buildings were destroyed. In the Red River valley two sections of the storm passed—one about 6 o'clock and the other at 10. In both the lightning was very severe and there was a heavy rainfall. Hail fell in some places in sufficient quantities to destroy the grain crop which was just ready for the harvesters. Passengers from the East report everything hailed out in the vicinity of Erskine. Burlington, Ia., Aug. 18.—Reports from Iowa and Illinois tell of damage by Sunday night's rain and thunder storms. Three inches of water fell in twenty-four hours. Creeks were out of their banks and swept bridges and farm property away. Many hay and grain stacks were struck by lightning and burned. Several branch railroads suffered bad washouts, delaying the trains. Grain in stacks is reported in bad condition from excessive moisture. POWER. IN PRISON. Complainant in Suit Against Merger of Certain Northwestern Railroads. New York, Aug. 19.—Peter Power, who was named as plaintiff in a suit brought to prevent the turning over of the stock of the Northern Pacific railroad to the Northern Securities Company, arrived here today from Montreal. He was accompanied by George Alfred Lamb, the attorney in the suit against the Northern Securities Company. Power was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment recently for contempt of court in refusing to obey a subpoena ordering him to appear and testify in the proceedings begun in his name. Power surrendered himself to United States Marshal Monkel. The marshal served Judge Lacombe's order of arrest and took Power to the Ludlow street jail. Three Masked Men Force the Passengers to Give Up Money and Other Valuables. Toledo, O., Aug. 19.—John J. Fox and another man here reported to the police that they and three or four others on the fast stock train that leaves Elkhart, Ind., at 9 o'clock every evening were held up shortly after leaving Ligonier, Ind., by three masked men with revolvers. Only a few men were on the train, but every one was compelled to give up his money, watch and other valuables. In a struggle in one of the cars the masks fell off two of the men, who Fox claims to have recognized as Tom Keegan and Tom Stewart, partners of "Topeka Joe," who escaped jail here several months ago. One of the robbers was equipped with a dark lantern. Fox lives on Water street, this city. ADOPTED BOY GETS FORTUNE. James Morrow of Elgin Recovers a $50, ooo Estate in New York. Elgin, Ill., Aug. 19.—The claim of James Morrow, adopted son of David Hogeboom of this city, to $50,000 of a $300,000 estate in New York has been recognized, according to Attorney Robert Egan. When Morrow's parents died he was sent to an asylum in New York, and later, with forty other children, shipped to De Kalb county, where he was adopted, by Hogeboom. An uncle of Morrow died several years ago in New York, and the fight for the estate has been going on ever since. Part of the estate is the building in New York leased by Kid McCoy, pugilist, for saloon purposes. An Infant is Scalded. Calumet, Mich., Aug. 19.—Alma, the 4-year-old child of John Steinbach of the Boston location, was scalded to death. The child was about to enter the house when a pan of boiling water was thrown in her face. TREES DRINK LIKE HORSES Plan to Irrigate an Orchard by Capillary Attraction. Irrigation on the capillary attraction principle is now being investigated by the state board of horticulture and the government experiment station at Fort Collins, with a view to recommending it for adoption in this state. Fruit growers who have experimented with the scheme declare it to be entirely feasible and much more effective than the old way of feeding moisture to trees by way of the roots. Flage Carter of Park county, the first person to try the plan in this state, wrote Gov. Orman some time ago explaining the method of irrigating a tree by capillary attraction. He takes a vessel, a pan, or a bucket, or anything that can be tied to a tree limb and will hold water. He fills it with water and then bends a twig about the circumference of an ordinary lead pencil into the water. The liquid will be rapidly absorbed by the twig, and in turn the water will enter the limb and soon permeate every part of the tree. The problem of keeping the vessels supplied with water is not a difficult one, for the reason that a half gallon of water will do as much irrigating as many cubic inches under the present plan, the adherents of the scheme claim. "Capillary attraction is the future of orchard irrigation," says the originator of the proposition. "I took up the matter two years ago, but did not put it to a final test until this spring. Then I had two trees that needed attention badly and I experimented with each. One young tree had been rubbed thoroughly by a horse and was wilted badly. I applied my method of watering it and within one week it completely revived. I next treated a sick apple tree and now it is all right, thanks to the capillary attraction principle."—Denver Post.

Railroads are the great civilizers, for they give the settler as well as the manufacturer equal opportunity to work in undeveloped fields, thereby rapidly settling the country and bringing forth its undiscovered riches. Northern Wisconsin is rich in iron ore, clay, kaolin, marl, timber and fine farm lands. It has made many a settler independent and added to the wealth of manufacturers who have sought this territory. Opportunities have not passed, as there is still a generous supply of land which can be obtained at low figures and on easy terms. THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL RY.

Entered in the Postoffice at Milwaukee as Second-class matter. The White Lead Trust shouldn't imagine that it can "paint the town red." The earthquakes and reviving volcanoes may eventually put Alaska into a melting mood. Brewers have no interest in the reported big hop crop in Kansas; it is merely an epidemic of fleas. The riot in support of an umpire at La Crosse is evidence that the "fans" have a mission, after all. There is nothing distinctly flattering in the claim from Lodi that the late Mr. Tracy of Oregon penitentiary was a Badger product. The captors of Tracy may have as hard a time in securing the reward for the desperado as they did in corraling him in the wheat field. --- The stranger in America, trying to learn the language, might remark "I comprehend! Est ees call 'hard coal,' because eet ees so hard to get." The fatal mine explosion at Trinidad, Colorado, adds another list of dead to a record of disasters that will make 1902 memorable in the annals of mining. The organization of a stogie trust develops a new phase of the smoke problem—a situation that is not so much "agin" smoke as "agin" the smoker. The anthrax epidemic among the cattle near La Crosse should be fought strenuously, without regard for cost. The disease is one to be feared, as it attacks human beings as well as animals. The purchase of a large tract of Wisconsin land by Chicago stock-raisers will open the eyes of other investors as to the opportunities in Northern Wisconsin for getting rich in the raising of high-priced beef. ] As a result of the striking of oil in Ontonagon county, upper Michigan may have another inning at the get-rich-quick business, which once raged along a certain iron range of glorious and inglorious memory. ```markdown ``` A camper at Evanston, Ill., claims to have killed a mosquito measuring three-quarters of an inch. The Eastern folks who assert that they have seen the sea serpent might as well go away back and sit down. ```markdown ``` Should King Edward come across the Atlantic with a fast yacht, to race for the America's cup, the yachtsmen of this country will show him how happy they can make a man while they are really disappointing him. Milwaukee's heavy importations of Holland herrings will either cast suspicion on reported big catches of fish by home amateurs, or give outsiders an idea that they have undertaken a systematic campaign against the beef trust. Recalling Prince Henry's remarks concerning Milwaukee's pretty women, in connection with the Crown Prince's reported affair of the heart, it would appear that the German royal family is not at all oblivious to the charms of femininity. The most serious mistake which Tracy made was in killing himself after all that has occurred. The emphasis is on the "after." If he was going to kill himself, why didn't he do it at the outset—or let some one else have a crack at him. Tracy took a good deal of unnecessary trouble to disturb the congregation as he went out. An English clergyman has invented a contrivance which he calls a hyposcope, that will enable a soldier to aim and discharge his rifle from cover without showing his head. This instrument will still further complicate matters for columns attacked by enemies using smokeless powder, and will make battles simply exchanges of lead for opposing forces that are both under cover and supplied with hyposcopes. The people who are asking "Is Venice doomed?" seem to believe that the fall of the Campanile was due to the undermining of the foundations of the throne which the Queen of the Adriatic built for herself upon the sea. But the Campanile had stood for a thousand years, and it was not as near the water's edge as other structures that are intact, and bungling workmen are said to have hastened its collapse. The fall of the Campanile of San Stefano is now predicted. But even if it occurs, it will not neces- sarily imply the doom of Venice. There are other cities where buildings have crumbled to ruin. Chicago's old postoffice disintegrated to a large extent before is was pulled down, but Chicago still endures. London is apprehensive regarding Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. The latter is a very modern building, compared with the crumbled Campanile of San Marco; but the rigors of changing seasons have wrought upon its fabric to such an extent that when Macaulay's New Zealander makes his trip to England, after civilization has moved its seat of empire to the antipodes, there will be no dome at St. Paul's for him to sketch. The French Academy's opinion that the Koch theory of incommunicability of bovine tuberculosis to man has been disproved by the illness with tuberculosis of Dr. Garnault, who inoculated himself with germs from a cow to test the theory, is in accord with the idea that where doubt exists it is better to be on the safe side. The very fact that cattle are afflicted with tuberculosis is enough to make people shun both milk and meat of such animals, even though the products might be harmless. The fire loss in the United States and Canada continues to keep within limits which are reassuring compared with the scale upon which it began the year and compared with the record for corresponding months in 1901 and 1900. The figure for last month was $10,028,000. For July, 1901, it was $15,740,000, and for July, 1900, $13,609,100. For the completed seven months of 1902 the aggregate was $97,133,850, while for the corresponding period of 1901 it was $104,666,150, and for the first seven months of 1900 $116,908,000. It is suggested that the climatic conditions of July, 1902, combining cool weather and frequent rains, may have contributed to the happy result. Whatever the reason, the reduced fire loss is a subject for congratulation by insurance corporations and the general public, for every dollar's worth of property destroyed by fire constitutes an absolute loss—a deduction of the equivalent of one hundred cents from the wealth of the nation. BIG BILL DEVERY'S HOST. Ex-Police Chief of New York City Entertains Families of Constituents at Picnic. Big Bill Devery's outing for the women and children of the Ninth Assembly district in New York city was the largest excursion party that ever left Gotham. There were nine boats in the fleet, two steamboats, a tug and six barges, all lashed together and loaded down with people. "Touchin' on and appertainin' to" how many people went, Devery said 18,000. He did not lose one of them. One boy whose family did not take him was drowned at the New York pier. It took three hours, from 8 o'clock until 11, to get the people aboard, and even then there were 5000 CHIEF or 6000 women and children who went to the West Twenty-fifth street pier intending to go, but got around too late. Ten physicians, a corps of trained nurses, like savers, an opera company, a vaudeville troupe, and four bands were taken along, and refreshments served in unlimited quantities. The chief commissary of the expedition had 159 assistants, and the list of supplies was as follows: One thousand pounds of roast beef, 1200 pounds corned beef, 1500 pounds of ham, two barrels of sugar, four tubs of butter, twenty barrels of potatoes, twenty crates of tinned tomatoes, ten crates of raw tomatoes, 500 heads of cabbage, 250 pounds of coffee, 2500 large leaves of bread, clam chowder for 50,000 persons, 1500 pounds of fancy cakes, 300 gallons of ice cream. 8000 quarts of milk, 250 boxes of soft drinks, ten barrels of birch beer, 1400 bags of popcorn and candy. When Devery and his guests went ashore they were received with acclaim. The ex-chief spoke briefly, hinting suggestively at other outings and what not that were in store for his loyal supporters in the Ninth if he be the Tammany leader by virtue of duly counted votes. Then he handed out hundreds of 25-cent pieces to the children as they passed by him and pushed his way to a cab, and the great campaign excursion of 1902, was over. Wouldn't Approve of Rescue. One of the officers in a certain volunteer regiment is much disliked by his men. One evening as he was returning home he slipped into some deep water. A private in his regiment, however, happened to see him, and, after some trouble, succeeded in pulling him out. The officer was very profuse in his thanks and asked his rescuer the best way he could reward him. "The best way you can reward me," said the soldier, "is to say nothing about it." "Why, my dear fellow," said the astonished officer, "why do you wish me to say nothing about it?" "Because if the other fellows knew I'd pulled you out they'd chuck me in!"—Current Literature. Danger Lurks in High Collars. A young Danish author named Madsen fell downstairs in his house in Copenhagen recently and was choked to death by his high collar. HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT Mock Oysters of Green Corn. A pint of grated corn, a cup of flour, one egg, two ounces of butter, three tablespoonfuls of milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and drop from a spoon in oblong cakes—to look as much like oysters as possible—into hot butter fry brown on both sides. Serve on a platter and garnish with parsley. These may also be made of canned corn by pressing it through a colander with a potato masher to separate the hulls from it. Fried Sweetbreads. Parboil and when cold dip them in beaten egg and cracker crumbs, sprinkle salt over them and fry in hot fat. Take one tablespoonful of this fat, and then stir into it one tablespoonful of flour, then set the pan back a little and add gradually one cupful of milk, stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, a little very finely chopped celery and cook about two minutes. Pour over the sweetbreads. Creamed Fish. Pick cold cooked fish to pieces and remove all the bones. Make a cream sauce with two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour, two cups of milk and a dash of cayenne and one-half a teaspoonful of salt. Butter a pudding dish, put in a layer of fish, a layer of sauce, and continue until the dish is full. Spread crumbs and bits of butter on top, and bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. Boiled Icing. One cup of granulated sugar, five tablespoonfuls of boiling water, the white of one egg beaten to a stiff froth. Put the sugar and water over the fire and boil until it threads from the spoon; then turn it into the beaten egg, beat briskly for a few minutes, flavor with vanilla, lemon or almond, according to the cake. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle with flour and spread the icing on with a broad knife. Crab Croquettes. Take the meat of boiled hard-shell crabs, about one pound, and gently press out the juice; add one tablespoonful of fine crumbs one-half a teaspoonful of salt, one-half a saltspoonful of pepper, the yolks of two eggs and a very little water. Form into croquettes, roll in crumbs, then in eggs, and then in crumbs again, and fry in hot fat. Tomato Beef Sprinkle small pieces of beef cut from the remains of a roast, with salt, pepper and flour. Put a layer of meat in a baking dish, over it put a layer of canned tomatoes or sliced fresh tomatoes. Scatter bits of butter over it. Cover with a layer of beef, then tomato. Make the top layer of buttered crumbs. Bake slowly for one hour. Custard Corn Cake. Two eggs, half cup sugar, one cup sour milk, one cup sweet milk, one and one-half cups Indian meal, half cup flour, one teaspoon soda, salt. Pour the mixture into a pan containing two tablespoons melted butter, and pour into the middle without stirring one cup sweet milk. Bake in a hot oven half an hour. Very nice. Blueberry Cake. Half a cup of butter beaten to a cream with half a cup of sugar, one cup of Porto Rico molasses, one cup of thin sour cream or milk, three eggs, the whites and yolks beaten separately, two cups of berries, $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ cups of flour, one teaspoonful of soda sifted with the flour. Bake as soft gingerbread and serve hot. Bread and Butter Pudding. Place six thin slices of buttered bread in a dish. Beat three eggs in three gills milk, adding sugar and nutmeg to taste, and pour over the bread. A few well-washed currants or raisins may be added if desired. Bake one hour in a slow oven. Serve plain or with sauce if desired. Fruit Ice. To one cup sugar add one cup cold water, and boil until thick and stringy. Remove and put in a cold place until cool, then place on ice till ice-cold. Have ready the fruit to be used peaches or berries crushed with a little sugar. Whip into the syrup and freeze. Farinose Custard. Into one pint boiling milk, stir slowly one tablespoonful farinose, add one and one-half tablespoons sugar and a pinch of salt. After removing from fire stir in two lightly beaten eggs; turn into wet molds. Serve with any sauce desired. Pca Salad. Drain the liquid off a can of peas, add a cupful of celery cut into dice, two hard-boiled eggs cut into slices, and pour sufficient mayonnaise over the mixture to moisten well.—What to Eat. Potato gems are nice if you will add tablespoon butter, teaspoon salt, yolks three eggs well beaten, and cupful milk to cup warmed mashed potato; pour over one and a half cupsful flour; beat and mix in whites of the eggs, and two and a half teaspoons baking powder; bake in quick oven in greased gem pans twenty minutes.

The coop illustrated may be used, or any coop of a plan best suited to the ideas of the poultry rais- er; any of them may be protected by nn arrangement such as shown. What- ever the form of the coop, the shed which is to furnish shade should be built on the slant shown, so that any rain which falls on it may be shed.

Such an arrangement as shown will be of great benefit to the chicks, for it will give them a cool and shady place after a run on the range. A number of these shades may be made at very small cost, so that there is no excuse for going without such a pro- tection for the coops. Rig for Corn Huskers.

Slide cleats under wagon box, as indicated in the illustration. A far- mer having this arrangement may husk corn all day with ease.—Nelson Savage, in Farm and Home. Nitrogen for Sweet Corn. The New Jersey Experiment Station has been for three years testing diff- erent forms and amounts of nitrogen- ous fertilizer for sweet corn. The first group of plants had either nitrate of soda 150 pounds per acre, sulphate of ammonia 120 pounds per acre, or dried blood two hundred pounds per acre. Each was calculated to furnish the same amount of nitrogen. Ona second group these amounts were multiplied by 1 2-3, and on a third group by 2%. The three years test has shown an in- crease of 23.3 to 40.2 per cent. The yield was largest where the most ni- trogen was applied. The returns for sulphate of ammonia for three years was $12.66, for dried blood, $9.95, and for nitrate of soda $9.69 per acre, and as the average cost of fertilizer was $4 per acre, they think it pays to sup- ply the nitrogen. On cabbages they found the best results from dried blood, about 270 pounds per acre, though 200 pounds of nitrate of soda was nearly equal in results. The aver- age increased value of the crops was over $50 per acre. They seemed to act about alike in hastening the earli- ness of the crop.—New England Home- stead. Don’t Sow Seed by Hand. The sowing of seed by *hand is not an economical method, as more seed is required than when a drill is used, and there is a larger return from the drill, owing to better covering of the seed and greater uniformity of depth. The drill has been improved to a high degree of efficiency, and some have fertilizer attachments. In all experi- ments made to determine the compar- ative value of the driH and hand seed- ing a less quantity of seed, carefully drilled in, yielded more bushels per acre, in proportion to seed used, than seeding by hand. Care of Poultry House. Nine out of ten poultry houses re- main uncléaned during the summer, except for the removal of the drop- pings. if the houses are occupied. Asa result the lice greatly increase in num- ber, and are responsible for the slow growth made by many of the chickens during the summer. There is no reason why the houses should not be fumigated during the summer almost as regularly as during the winter, and the labor involved is really not so great. An abundance of whitewash.and some carbolic acid will usually do all necessary to rid the houses of lice, provided it is applied so that all cracks and crevices are reach- ed. Nest boxes should be removed and new ones substituted unless the old ones can be thoroughly cleansed. Roosts should come down so that the disenfectant may be placed in all the cracks; in short, the house should be thoroughly cleansed, and that several times during the summer. Grajn and Dairy Farming. An important difference between dairy farming and grain farming is the amount of the farm that is sold with the product that is of the fertility of the farm. The man who sells a ton of wheat sells in it about $7 worth of fertilizing elements, and if he does not buy something to replace them his farm is so much poorer. The dairy- man who sells a ton of butter: has sold but fifty cents’ worth of fertilizing ma- terial, and if he is a good dairyman, he has probably added much more than that, or twenty times that to the value of the farm in the bran, oil meal, cot- ton seed or other food that he pur- chased while feeding his cows for mak- ing that ton of butter. It is in this way that the dairyman’s farm is con- tinually growing more productive, and if he does not make much from his dairy, he should from the crops that he can grow on his much enriched soil. —American Cultivator. A Plow Shoe. The good farmer does not throw the plow on its side and drag it from one field to another. He will make a wooden runner, as shown in the cut, or he cuts Bena tO abotner. CoO ¢) He will make a wooden runner, PLOW BHOX. as shown in the - cut, or he cuts away an old boot or shoe, all but the sole and toe, for a runner. The good appearance of a lane or roadway should not be spoiled by plow marks— it looks as if the farmer didn’t care.— Epitomist. Late Fodder Crons. Late fodder crops include Kafiir corn, millet, sorghum, rape, corn, the cereals and the clovers. One writer claims that where hogs are kept rape is the greatest of all those mentioned, as a half acre will feed forty hogs during the season if the crop gets a good start. Sorzhum is looked upon as one of the very best crops for shocking and curing to be fed cut during the winter. As this crop may be seeded after cereals have been harvested, there is still am- ple opportunity to prepare the soil and sow the seed. If the soil is plowed to a depth of three or four inches and afterwards well worked down with the harrow and cultivators such a seed bed will favor the production of sey- eral tons of cured sorghum per acre. One writer recommends Mammoth Early Orange as being the best sor- ghum for both fodder and seed pur- poses.—lowa Homestead, PE ee ee ee Fowls will often @o well on a smal place for several years and then fall off and become unprofitable just as the owner thinks he has learned it all. The usual reason is cither that the stock has become run out by too much con- finement or that the fowls have used up some of the things about the place which they need. They have killed out the grass, used up all the sharp gravel or perhans the soil has become infested with disease or the coops with lice. Remedy is to note conditions, supply what is needed and introduce fresh stock. Mule Statistics. According to the government census of 1900, there are 3,271,121 mules in the United States. It is also stated by the census officials that mules are in- creasing in this country. According to the numeration in 1890, 157,022 mule colts were foaled in 1889, whereas in 1899 the number had increased to 231.- 697. The actual increase of the tote] number of mules in the entire country is said to be some 34 per cent during the past ten years. Growing Radishes, The radish is a hardy plant and can be growh every month from spring un- til late in the fall. But few should be planted at a time, as they soon become tough if left in the ground or are al- lowed to approach maturity. To have them crisp and tender they should be grown on rich soil and forced, as the sooner they reach the table stage the better their quality. Motor Plow. The Agricultural World of London England, says that Dr. Gatling, invent- or of the Gatling gun, has invented a plow to be operated by a gasoline mo- tor. He claims that it can be run at a cost of $2 per day, so that it will do the work of thirty men and eighty horses. He proposes to make it a feature of the St. Louis Exposition. ‘ We Ad\ _rtise What We Have; and Have What We Adverti 50c Gloves for 29c ; eee 50c Summer Corsets for 25c Women’s Fine Lace Only Pe = Fine Net and Jean ) Only Lisle Thread Gloves in ? @ US s*« ennon Corsets in medium and | white, drab, mode, tan s . . long lengths, colors: ) and black, dainty lace Oc sk atone, ee sare . pink, blue, drab and 5 effects.

Son and Niece of Mr. Morse Reside in Milwaukee—Sick Man Kills Him- Racine, Wis., Aug. 20.—[Special.]— Seated at the head of his wife's grave in Mound cemetery Merritt Morse committed suicide last night by drinking carbolic acid. He was found by three girls attracted to the place by his groans. The unconscious man was carried to St. Luke's Hospital, where he died late in the evening. From his son, Eugene Morse, a plumber of this city, it was learned that Mr. Morse had often threatened to end his life, and had said that his body would be found near the grave of his wife. Tonight the father met the son and asked for money, which was refused, as the son believed it would be used to purchase liquor. The father said: "I will never trouble you again, so goodby." Three hours later the father was found at Mound cemetery. Five years ago Mr. Morse attempted suicide by taking Paris green. For several months he resided with his son, William Morse, 609 Tenth street, Milwaukee, and also with his niece, Mrs. Curt Hicks, 1821 Cold Spring avenue, Milwaukee. He was 64 years old. Woman Tries Suicide in Jail. Lancaster, Wis., Aug. 20.—[Special.]—Dena Kern, arrested Monday morning on a disorderly charge, tried to commit suicide. The woman had been in the sweatbox in H. W. Brown's office and was committed to the county jail to await a hearing in the afternoon. After going some distance with City Marshal Budworth her abusive language and refusal to be taken to jail ceased, and she asked to be taken to her home east of town for needed clothing. After driving to the house Mr. Budworth allowed her to enter the place while he hitched his horse. Hearing the report of a revolver, he rushed into the house and found the woman lying on the floor with the revolver beside her. Believing her to be dead, he left to call in neighbors, and on returning found she was partially undressed and in bed. The wound was directly over the heart, but the ball had struck a rib and glanced off. The attending physician pronounced her chances for recovery as good. Madison, Wis., Aug. 20. [Special.] A. A.

RUNAWAY AT NEENAH RESULTS IN A FATALITY Little Child Instantly Killed and Four Other Persons are Seriously Injured. Neenah, Wis., Aug. 18.—Clark Wessellhoeft, aged 3 years, was instantly killed in a runaway accident late yesterday afternoon and four persons were injured. The injured are: Mrs. Lena Wessellhoeft, 630 West Nineteenth street, Chicago, mother of the dead child, rendered unconscious and badly bruised about her head and body; internal injuries. Fred Wessellhoeft, Chicago, aged 6 years, cut on arms and head. Gusta Boreman, Neenah, picked up unconscious; cut about head and body. Henry Oberwelser, Menasha, driver of wagon; severely bruised and cut about the head and body. The two women and children were driving in a buggy when a team of mules attached to a heavy dray driven by Oberweiser crashed into them.

A locomotive on the Wisconsin Central road is said to have frightened the mules so that they ran away. Appleton, Wis., Aug. 19.—John Herman of Neenah was injured in a runaway accident here yesterday. The team ran into a watering trough and upset the carriage. BRIDE AND MONEY HAVE DISAPPEARED. Appleton Man is Looking for Milwaukee Woman Whom He was to Have Married. Appleton, Wis., Aug. 19.—[Special.]— An unexpected climax to a two months' wooing was reached this morning when it was discovered that Miss Lila Smith, presumably of Milwaukee, was found to have mysteriously departed and that $50 in money and a number of valuables owned by Elmer Koepke, of the town of Clayton, to whom she was to have been married today, are missing. The couple have been boarding at a private house in this city and no one in the house was left with any information regarding the peculiar actions of the girl, who is described as being a blonde, quite good looking, of medium stature and about 18 years old. It is thought that Miss Smith took her departure some time during Sunday night, as her room at an early hour yesterday morning was found to be locked. No response to repeated calls prompted an investigation with the result that the bride to be together with the "wedding money" was missing. Mr. Koepke claims to have met the girl at Clayton several months ago, where she was employed as a servant; a sudden fondness sprang up between them and the wedding was set for today. CONKLIN IS WARDEN. Madison Man Selected to Manage Affairs of the State Prison at Waupun. Madison, Wis., Aug. 19.—[Special.]—James E. Conklin of this city was elected to succeed C. C. McClaughry as warden of the state prison at Waupun, at a meeting of the state board of control held here this morning. The election was a complete surprise to almost everybody outside of the board, as Conklin's name has not been mentioned among the candidates. The appointment is well received, however. Mr. Conklin is a member of a leading coal firm of the city and has been a member of the police and fire commission since its organization. He was a Democrat until 1896 when he left the party with other believers in the gold standard. He is 48 years of age. Mr. Conklin will take charge of the prison on the 1st of September. Since the resignation of Mr. McClaughry some months ago the affairs of the prison have been administered by Andrew G. Nelson of Waupaca, a member of the staet board of control. Two Milwaukee men were candidates for the position which had been made vacant by the resignation of Warden McClaughry—John Hannifin, a detective in the service of the Milwaukee police department, and John F. Burnham, a former sheriff of Milwaukee county. Mr. Hannifin's long and creditable record in police work were cited in behalf of his candidacy for the position of warden, and his friends believed that he stood an excellent chance of securing the appointment. Demands Immediately Granted. La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 19.—[Special.]— The men employed by the Mississippi River Towing Company walked into the office in a body and demanded a raise in pay of from $40 to $50 a month.

Fremont, Wis., Aug. 19.—[Special.]—The Chicago limited passenger train No. 4 on the Wisconsin Central railway, bound for St. Paul and Minneapolis, was derailed at 12:30 o'clock this morning about fifty feet from the station at this place. Nine persons were quite badly injured and all of the passengers on the train were badly shaken up. The cause of the wreck is not known. The rails spread and the train was thrown off the track. There is a suspicion that the train was wrecked by a person who deliberately pulled the bolts out of the rails. This is denied by the railroad authorities, who claim that the spreading of the rails was caused by a washing away of the gravel roadbed. Mrs. D. W. Agnew, Waukesha, right shoulder and right knee badly bruised. S. Zimmerly, Oshkosh, bruised about the chest and arms. Mrs. Anna Kleschold, Minneapolis, contusion of the lower end of the spine. A. E. Gross, Boston, Ill., chest badly bruised and internally injured. Mrs. Nellie Dorrity, Oshkosh, shoulder and neck bruised. Mrs. Anna Madden, Chioago, neck and head hurt. Mrs. J. C. Mason, Oshkosh, left arm injured and side bruised. Jacob Westerhauser, Elroy, badly cut under the right eye and contusion of the elbow. Edwin Street, Corumma, Mich., thrown through window and badly cut about the arms and hands and bruised on his side and head. The train was running very rapidly at the time of the accident and it is remarkable that there was no loss of life. The train was made up of ten coaches, four sleepers and baggage, mail and express cars. All of the cars, with the exception of the rear sleeper, left the track. The train was split in two and the cars thrown over on their side. Two of the cars were thrown twenty feet from the track and the track was destroyed for some distance. Looks Like Work of Wreckers. The cause of the spreading of the rails is unknown. The railway official made a careful examination this morning but refused to make any statement. It is said that they found that the bolts in all of the rails for about three rods had been pulled out and that there is a strong suspicion that the accident was the work of wreckers although their object in derailing the train is not known. Doctors Sent from Neighboring Towns. As soon as the train left the track it was seen at the station in this place that there was an accident. The telegraph operator sent a man to ascertain the trouble and he was met by one of the brakemen coming toward the station on the run. Word was sent to neighboring towns and doctors were rushed to the scene of the wreck on special trains. The division superintendent ordered a special train made up to take the injured to their homes and the rest of the passengers were sent on a special to St. Paul and Minneapolis this morning. Care for the Injured. The injured passengers were carried to the station at this place where the doctors from Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha and Dale did all they could to relieve their sufferings. Early this morning they were all able to continue their way or to be taken to their homes. None of the train crew were badly hurt. Necessary to Build New Track It was found necessary to build a new track over the place where this morning's wreck took place. The track has been so badly damaged and the wreckage has so blocked the road that it was impossible to use the division until a temporary track was built around the wrecked train. Trains are now using that track. NO ONE IS NAMED. Regents Do Not Elect Dr. Charles R Van Hise President of Wisconsin University. Madison, Wis., Aug. 19.—[Special.] There was no election of a president of the state university by the regents at their session today, instead the regents voted to give the committee which has been working on the matter, many months more, until next April, if necessary. This, it is believed, means that Prof. Charles R. Van Hise, who has been heralded as the coming president, will not be chosen, nor any other man now connected with the faculty. Regent Stevens, in urging delay, said the granting of further time would enable the committee to secure an outside man of recognized qualifications for the place. The result was not reached unanimously, the vote on the adoption of the resolution granting further time being 8 to 6. Those who voted against the resolutions were Regents Edmonds, Parker, Kerwin, Puls, Pereles and Merrill, while the eight who voted for it were Regents Vilas, Stevens, Stout, Harvey, Evans, Mead, Taylor and Frisby. The special committee held a meeting this morning before the session of the board and agreed on its report asking further time. This was opposed, however, by Messrs. Edmonds and Kerwin of the committee and there was considerable discussion on the floor, but no display of bad feeling. J. L. TROWBRIDGE DIES. One of the Earliest Settlers of Sheboygan County—Came West Sheboygan Falls, Wis., Aug. 19. James L. Trowbridge, the last but two of the pioneers who settled in Sheboygan county prior to 1840, passed away Sunday afternoon at his home, two miles west of the village in the town of Sheboygan Falls, where he had lived for over three score years.

The building was destroyed by fire Saturday morning and the only occupant, Reinhold Oestriech, brother of Ald. H. Oestriech, is supposed to have perished. The man was known to have considerable money about his person and it is possible that he may have been murdered and fire started to cover the crime. Strange men were seen lurking in the vicinity shortly before the fire. UNION GROVE HAS DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE. Citizens Have Fierce Battle with the Flames Before the Village is Saved. Racine, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.]—The village of Union Grove, 15 miles west of here, had a narrow escape from being totally destroyed by fire Saturday night. The fire started in the lumber yards of Levi Hulbert and spread rapidly. The citizens fought for hours to save the village and only succeeded after a hard battle with the flames. The loss to the lumber company is $8000 and partially covered by insurance. It is supposed that tramps started the fire. TERRIFIC EXPLOSION ON MADISON STREET. Sheriff Tosses Bottle Containing Nitroglycerin Out of Window—He Dia Not Know it was Loaded. Madison, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.]—Sheriff Ernest Burmeister tossed a bottle containing some nitro-glycerine into the street last night and a terrible explosion followed. The jail was shaken and the prisoners were thrown into a panic. Carter, the Dane negro, was sure that an attempt was being made to blow open the jail door and to lynch him. A crowd of 2000 people gathered under the impression that a prisoner had attempted to blow up the jail. Soon the crowd was dispersed. The little bottle containing nitro-glycerine was taken from two alleged bank robbers some time ago. It was supposed to contain only water and the sheriff has had the bottle in his desk for months. He was clearing out his desk when he came across the bottle and tossed it out of the window into the street. SOLDIERS' MONUMENT AT CHILTON READY. It will be Unveiled and Dedicated on September 2—Given by Anton Koehler. Chilton, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.] The soldiers' monument which was given to this city by Anton Kocher, formerly of Brothertown but now of Chilton, is in place and on September 2 will be unveiled and dedicated.

Boscobel, Wis., Aug. 18.—Tobias Eckelberger, aged 50 years, met death at Blue River, August 14, from a wound in the head. He had been drinking until a late hour and quarreled with Charles McMillan and Sherman Streeter, two painters of Boscobel. McMillan and Streeter were arrested and charged with the wilful and felonious killing of Eckelberger. Their hearing has been set for August 20. HER HUSBAND IS MISSING New York Woman Sends for Father to Aid to Solving Mystery. Eau Claire, Wis., Aug. 18.—N. C. Foster, the wealthy lumberman of Fairchild, is on his way east in response to a message from his daughter, Mrs. Hollenberg of New Rochelle, N. Y., saying her husband was reported to have been drowned at Coney island. The case is involved in much mystery. Mr. and Mrs. Hollenberg were married only a few weeks ago. A message from New York was received here Saturday night saying: "After the body of James A. Gray, son of a Brooklynite, was found at Coney Island today the police continued the search for that of Henry Watkins Hollenberg, who disappeared in the surf at the same time Thursday. They did not entertain the faintest hope, however, of recovering his body, for they believe that he is alive and that he simply arranged things to look as if he was drowned and then disappeared. They say he has not been at his New Rochelle home since Tuesday and has shown little interest in his first wife, from whom he was divorced. He wrote the superintendent of the Siegel-Cooper Company canceling a contract he had just made for an excellent business position, saying he was about to leave the city. The clothes found in his bathhouse were old and shabby, while he was always neat and dressed in the latest mode. All of his jewelry, money and other valuables were missing from the garments. His body has not been washed up by the tide, as it almost certainly would have been if he had been drowned, so the police believe he had decided to disappear and walked in his bathing suit to a place where he had other clothes and his valuables, and went away. Mrs. Hollenberg said: "I received a telegram saying that my husband's mother, who resided at the Chicago Beach hotel in Chicago, is now on her way here. She is wealthy and intends to sift the mystery to the bottom. What I would like the police to explain is the disappearance of my husband's valuables. I know my husband had money, a gold watch, a gold ring, cuff buttons and other jewelry. I am going to keep up the search until Henry is found, dead or alive. I know nothing about the reports that my husband was mixed up in a divorce suit." FIXES BOUNDERY LINE. Between Wisconsin and Michigan in the Waters Off Washington Isle, Green Bay. Green Bay, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.] Judge Hastings has just handed down a decision on one of the fish cases which have become famous in this section of the state. The decision established the dividing line between this state and Michigan in the waters off Washington island. According to the decision this line lies midway between the shores of the two states. In the trial in circuit court the theory of the defendants was that the channel was the dividing line and that the channel was marked by the course of boats plying along any certain course. The channel as held by the plaintiff in the case was a line running midway between the shores of the two states. In this the question of islands came up and it was determined that the island should be considered a part of the mainland so far as the determining of the line was concerned, the great flow of water determining which cannel should be the one considered. By this decision of the court the state of Wisconsin off Washington island is fixed about four and a half miles from shore. By this decision the nets of McDonald Brothers, plaintiffs in the case, are cut so that about one-third of them were in Michigan waters at the time they were seized and the remainder lie in Wisconsin. The third in Michigan waters are therefore lost, while damages for the balance can be recovered. The defendants in the case were the men that helped the game warden to destroy the nets. RAIN QUENCHES FIRE. A Providential Downpour Drenches the Burning Forests in the Vicinity of Florence. Florence, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.]—A providential downpour of rain, which continued for several hours, drenched this vicinity and smothered the forest fires which have been raging for the past few days. The fires had spread to such an extent as to cause widespread alarm among farmers. Crops were threatened with destruction and all hands were employed in fighting the progress of the fires. The entire fire department was called out to protect the lumber mill and yard of D. M. Fulmer on the outskirts of the town and for a time it was feared the fire would spread to the residence section. High winds drove the smoke in dense clouds over this place and made breathing difficult. Campers in the lake regions were driven back to town and had some narrow escapes. Grain, hay, wood and fences in the path of the flames were destroyed and the loss will run into the thousands of dollars. No fatalities have been reported. CARTER PLEADS GUILTY. Dane Negro will Receive a Sentence of from Five to Fifteen Years in State Prison. Madison, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.]—William Carter, a negro arrested for an assault on Anna Zimmerman at Dane last Thursday evening, was arraigned before Judge Donovan today on the charge of improper conduct with an imbecile, District Attorney Dudgeon having satisfied himself that a more serious charge was not warranted. Carter pleaded guilty to the charge. On the district attorney's motion an attorney will be appointed by the court to look after the prisoner's interests. Carter will be sentenced Wednesday. The penalty is five to fifteen years in prison. SISTER MARY IS DEAD. Well-Known Nurse at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Appleton. Appleton, Wis., Aug. 18.—[Special.]—Sister Mary Engelberda, a nurse at St. Elizabeth's hospital, is dead. Death was caused by cancer. She was 44 years old. In the town of Hildersheim, in Germany, is a rosebush said to be 1000 years old, and sprouts from its branches have realized fabulous sums. Some years ago a rich Englishman offered £50,000 for the entire tree, but the sum was indignantly refused. This wonderful plant clings amid thickly grown moss against the side of the famous old Church of St. Michael. It is claimed that it has bloomed perennially since the days of King Alfred, and this statement has never been disputed, for its record has been as carefully kept as the pedigree of the bluest blooded family in the kingdom. It is supposed to have been discovered through the medium of King Louis of Hildersheim as far back as 1022. Couldn't Live Without Them. New York City, Aug. 18th.—Mr. Charles Back, of 64 Rue de la Victoria, Paris, France, relates a most interesting experience: "Ever since I was about three years of age I have suffered severely with Kidney Disease. "Last year I spent some time at the baths at Carlsbad (Bohemia), but I came back after five weeks' treatment with a severe pain still in my kidneys. "My doctors in Paris and Hamburg could do nothing for me. "I was obliged to start from Paris to Montreal, Canada, and when I arrived in the Canadian city I was half dead. "I read an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills in a newspaper there and began to use this remedy, and after two days' treatment I felt that my pains were leaving me, and in a week I had no pains at all. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the most wonderful remedy in the world. I keep them always with me for I believe I could not live without them." —Ordinary lima beans, someone has said, are good to allay thirst. Discovers the Right Thing at the Right Time. Mr. E.

HAMLIN'S WIZARD OIL FOR SORES ULCERS ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT No Cool Drinks in Berlin. The German police are paternally minded in their care for the public. Sometimes their interference is a nuisance; sometimes there is a grain of common sense about it. The last move of the Berlin authorities is to issue an order to the public houses and traiteurs generally prohibiting them during the excessive hot weather from selling drinks of a temperature below 10 degrees Celsius! There is always a keen desire to take some cool beverage on a tropical day—and plenty of it—and the Berlin sanitary police, who have pondered over the question, have come to the conclusion that the Teuton is not very thoughtful on such occasions of the effect on his "innards" of beer or other cooling draughts almost at freezing point.—London Telegraph. Hen-Pecked Sparrows. Female sparrows are especially tyrannical toward their partners, especially at nest-building time, when they frequently attack their husbands fiercely on account of their laziness. At such times the female voice can always be detected, both louder and shriller than that of her mate, as she pecks and tousles him until he beats an ignominious retreat. Hen blackbirds and thrushes are often very overbearing, and even spiteful, toward their mates when their houses are in course of construction.—Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. Mastodon Remains Found in Texas Last week workmen excavating in a gravel pit two miles south of Dallas, Tex., unearthed the remains of a mastadon. The jawbones were in perfect shape and 8 feet in length, but crumbled when exposed to the air. The teeth remained perfect, however. The molars are $ 1 4 \frac{1}{2} $ inches long, $ 7 \frac{1}{2} $ wide and weighed 15 pounds.

Stray Leaves from a Philadelphia Writer's Notebook. Staying last night with married friends, I was much interested in their little son, who was enraptured with the pretty moon. The child is just 3 years old, and his talk is exceedingly idiomatic. He kept calling my attention to the pretty, pretty moon, finally announcing to us all that he was going to get that moon. "I get up that tree, get that moon, play with it," was his decision, and he boldly attacked one tree after another in the yard; he could not make it, however, so pulled his express wagon to each tree in turn, hoping thus to be able to clutch the lowest branches. All to no avail, and he came back to the porch. When asked why he did not get the moon, he said: "Can't get up tree. I'm too big." I moralized on this as I undresser in my room that night. We grown-ups have just such lovely things, which we want but can never get, but very few of us are philosophical enough to give them up when we find they are "too big" for us. Behold the homely and awkward girl, without grace or beauty. She has a loving heart to be sure, and a noble character, but absolutely nothing to attract the other sex. Enshrined in her soul is the picture of her knight; handsome, brilliant and rich, a chevalier of every charm possessed. Will she ever get her "pretty moon?" Which reminds me of a story told me the other day. My friend's cook was to marry, and her choice was a man who had been very wild. My friend thought it her duty to inform her cook of the circumstances and did so. Bridget listened complacently. "Oh, yes, Mrs. Smith," said she, "I know John has gone the pace, time back, but I think now he'll steady down to a good husband. And I have only to look in the glass to know I can do not better." Then behold our friend, the good husband and father, the successful business man. He wants to sing, to be of such stuff as grand opera singers are made of. What is it to him that his throat and larynx are weak and diseased, and that his vocal efforts are on a par with the cawing of a crow? Will he ever achieve his "pretty moon." Nay, nay. In this world it is well to look at everything through the clear spectacles of common sense. Aim high, the copybooks say, but it would be well to add: Do not growl if you lose your arrow. Then observe our friend, the ministerial student. He is very nervous and of insipid appearance, his voice always has the tremolo stop on. His gestures are as convincing as the pawings and doddlings of a new-born babe; his oratorical efforts are about the same as many of the fireworks, starting off with a fizz, but falling immediately to the ground. This man hopes to be a second Beecher, to sway the multitudes, to garner souls by the thousand into the fold. Will he do it, gentle reader? We all know well he will be as a minister a flat failure. One of those poor souls who spend their life in useless endeavors, always baffled, always disap- pointed, with a wife and large family, as sad and feeble as himself. Before picking out your life work, reckon up your talents, virtues, and faults. Consider well your physical makeup; when the appraisement is over you will then be better able to decide what to undertake, so as to make a shining success. It is not always what we like to do, but what we can do that counts. Better to make good bread to edification than to hysterically "elocute" "Bingen on the Rhine" to a crowd of scoffers.—Philadelphia Telegraph. CIGAR IN A CHEESE. Material for Farce Comedy in a Strange Case in Paris. There was an extraordinary occurrence recently in a cheesemonger's shop in the Avenue Parmentier, Paris. One of the tradesman's customers, who had invited five friends to dinner, had purchased a large cheese, and when it was cut into the stump of a half-smoked cigar was found in the middle. The host and his guests marched round in a body to the cheesemonger to demand an explanation and the return of the money or the substitution of another cheese, but the tradesman refused all three propositions, and even suggested that they ought to be satisfied, as they had not only the cheese, but half a cigar as well. One of the guests then threatened to report the cheesemonger for selling tobacco without permission. High words followed, and at length the customer picked up the offending cheese and hurled it with correct aim at the dealer's head. A regular battle ensued. The shopkeeper was backed up by his wife and three assistants and the customer by his friends. The counter was piled with cheeses of various kinds, and these were converted at once into missiles, while the butter also came in nandy. The uproar attracted the attention of a policeman, who arrived just as a large Dutch cheese crashed through the window and caught him on the chest. When the officer had recovered his breath he separated the combatants and took them to the police station, where they were discharged with a caution.—Pearson's Weekly. Red as a Cure. The interest lately excited in England in what is known as the "red light treatment" of smallpox, wherein the patient is confined in a room into which only red light is admitted, calls attention to the remarkable way in which modern science seems to revive and reform empirical methods of the past. Even so far back as the reign of Edward IV. smallpox patients were treated by wrapping them in red covers and putting red balls in the bed. It was thus that John of Gaddesden treated a Prince of Wales. This method has also been noticed as a popular custom in Roumania. In recent years, too, a French surgeon has told of smallpox patients in Tonquin being isolated in alcoves almost darkened by red carpet hangings, and of wonderful cures ensuing. In Japan the patients were covered by red blankets, and the children given red toys to play with.—Chicago News. "Queer" Ruby in the English Crown. The ruby of the English crown is famous in popular estimation. But—its history apart—what does the connoisseur say as to its value? Is it a ruby, or is it only a fine and large spinel? Some people call a spinel a spinel ruby, but a spinel is not a ruby. The stone last named, when it is of more than three and a half carats in weight and flawless all through, is more precious than a perfect diamond of the same size. When it is considerably larger its value is not to be estimated, and may be anything, according to the passion of the collector. But the spinel (a much less hard crystal), even when it reaches the weight of four carats, is valued at half the worth of a four-carat diamond. There are famous royal rubies, but that which flames in the royal crown is, according to a common rumor among experts, the lowlier spinel—London Chronicle.

Attention and work—these are PROSPEROUS YEARS. lconditions for prosperity and pleas: By Rev. Daniel H. Overton | years. Would we have prosperity 4 Seg, Sg. ee. ee ee eet ne shall spend their days in prosperity «nd ae years in pleasantness.—Job xxxvi. We have here in the text the condi- tions laid down for prosperous days and pleasant years, and we notice, first, why conditions are necessary. Nearly everything that is good is con- ditioned. We fulfill the conditions and we get the good. The greatest and best promises of God have an “if” in them that concerns us. We take care of the “if” and God takes care of the fulfillment of the promise. There are some blessings that are for all without distinction, God's rain falls and his sun shines upon the just man’s field and upon the unjust man’s as well. But there are other blessings that come only to the just man, and which the unjust man misses altogether because he des not fulfill conditions. It is well for us to learn this fact, and to have :t so firmly fixed that it shati not escape us. ‘Things do not go by chance and haphaz- ard even in this old world, which seems sometimes so badly out of joint. Things yo and come by law, and the law of their coming or going can be quite definitely fixed. Effects argue causes and causes produce effects. The seen legds us back to the unseen, and the unseen becomes real in seen results. Prosperity is not a fickle, capricious dame, as she so often is pictured to be, who smiles on a few and frowns on all ethers. She has smiles for all if only they knew it, and knew how to win them, All seek her smiles, but they do not know hew to win them, and many turn smiles into frowns because they do not know how to use them, Prosperity is a product of firmly fixed and knowable laws and conditions. Those laws known, those conditions fulfilled, Prosperity comes to man or nation, and it is for all who wiil know, follow, or ful- fill laws and conditions. What makes these years prosperous years in our 1a- tion? They are not by chance. They ean be traced to well-known causes, and to fulfilled conditions. Fertile tields? Yes, but to fertile fields well tilled. To tariff laws fixed for the time at least, and tv confidence in all lines of business, born ef confidence in government. When. for any cause there is a lack of faith in the honesty and permanency of government ec in our national policy, confidence de- parts, and business becomes dull and for- tune frowns instead of smiles. Wappiness is not happenness. Happi- ness does not happen. It is not a saudy toy that we get by a blind grasp from the world’s grab bag. It is a resultant of fundamental forces and fixed functions. It is born of holiness, and it is not some- thing for the few, but for all those who will seek it in the right way. Holiness is a condition of happiness, and if a person seeks to be holy he will have all the happiness that is good for him. I know that it is true that all are seeking happiness and few are finding it, but it is not because happiness is a ‘will ® the wisp” or a false fire along life's way. It is because the many are seek- ing it where it cannot be found, and try- ing to get it in ways that cannot produce it. hey are trying to be happy without “trying to be holy,” and happiness does not grow on that tree, The eternal law of happiness and the one great condition is holiness. Who seeks holiness is hap- Py. Suecess—the highest, best suecess—is not the laurel wreath or crown for the one winner, and won only by the genins, the ten-talented man. It is within the reach ef all who will fulfill the conditions of the race and run his best for the prize. Every man eannot win what the world calls success, but every man can win ste- eess if he will. What is success? What is the greatest, highest success? It is the making of this life the fittest begin- nimg of the endless life. Who does this succeeds. Who does not do this fails. Bat I ciaim all can do this. It is in the reach of all if they will fulfill the condi- tions and carry out the law. I say this, tos, fell knowing that the many are failing and the few succeeding, but real success is nevertheless within the reach ef alt who are willing to have it and get it in the right way. With these thoughts in mind we are not at all surprised to find our text start- ing out with an “if.” We are not sur- prised to learn that prosperous and pieas- ant years are conditioned. They are re- saitants of certain causes. They come by fulfillment of certain conditions. I be- lieve the years should be prosperous and happy .as they pass. I believe God in- tends that they should be, but I know that he has conditioned their prosperity and happiness, and that we must fulfill these conditions to get the prosperity and pleasantness. What, then, are the condi- tions? Z First—Attention to God. “It they hearken.” We must hear and heed God’s voice speaking to us day by day and year by year. That year is most prosperous which is most full of God. Time is most important and rich when it is most full of eternity and of eternal things. The world is full of God. “The heavens declare his glory,” ete. “The whole round year is full of him.” He is calling us in the edmmon things and common tasks of life, as he called Moses to do a great work for him. We must hear and we must heed if we would succeed—if we would succeed with the best success and be pros- perous with the best prosperity. Atten- tion is the great condition of prosperity and success in all walks of life. No man succeeds without attention to his task. So no man can have success in Christian work without attention to God. Service is the second condition of pros- perows and pleasant years. -“If they in God's kingdom. I. believe prosperity. happiness, success is conditioned on ser. vice more than on anything else. There is no genius like the genius for work. The men who are succeeding are men with the talent for toil. This is true in the world's work, This is true in God's work. Attention and work—these are the conditions for prosperity and pleasant years. Would we have prosperity and pleasantness as the years come and go? ‘Let us attend unto God, let us serve him in sincerity and truth, GREATEST OF MIRACLES. ee ee ee The gospel of Jesus Christ has filled the world with wonder and amazement at the things that have happened. The day of its experimental stage has long since passed, and it is now part and parcel, warp and woof, of the life of the best civilizations on the face of the earth. Its sacrifices, its benevolences, its trials, toils and triumphs are written upon the pages of the most enduring history. Its inception was recognized as a mira- cle by its founder and His earliest follow- lers. One of them says that His apostle- ship “was not of man, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father.” No Christian can with impunity come short of the Pauline conception of the source of power. The healing of a crip- pled man filled Jerusalem with wonder ae astonishment. It was indeed a large miracle to heal the body, but it was a larger miracle to heal the soul. It was beautiful and blessed to cast out evil dis- ease, but it is more blessed to cast cut evil spirits. ‘This gospel is also a miracle in its ex- pansion. No man can account for it on the basis of the natural. The weapons of its warfare have never been carnal, but they have nevertheless been mighty throngh God tothe pulling down of strongholds. With its message of peace and of truth it has supplanted some of the most an- cient of the paganisms. Its Founder told His followers that they were not quali- fied to become witnesses of His trath un- til a peculiar, divine, but real, power had come upon them. After that they eould ith promise of success bear His truth to the uttermost parts of the earth. This.gospel is miraculous, not only in its inception and expansion, but also in its victories. The victory that overcomes, that comes over the world is faith in its divine Head, coupled with the activity ‘that strong confidence always brings. The largest miracle of to-day is what God hath wrought. Evil prophets in all the centuries have arisen to predict all sorts of dire disaster, defeat, extinction, annihilation, but the old truth goes grand- ly on from conquering to conquest, ever winning fresh victories and gaining fresh laurels, in the face of the world, the flesh and the devil. It has infused itself into the young blocd of the nations, and its tide of en- thusiastie service among young people is rising higher and higher. This gospel has ‘been the foster mother of every reform, of every charity, of all progress. It has been the friend of the lowly and of the oppressed, its teachings have become the basic principles of the administrations of civil governments, and with its benedic- tions Presidents have been inauguraced and Kings haye been crowned. Verily, we behold the colossal miracle of the ages—a Christian civilization. WORLD OWES POOR A DEBT. Sees Ghee 2). setae The only sure basis of social advance- ment is the progress of the common peo- ple. In days gone by philosophers and Jeaders argued that the only way to ele- vate the toiling multitudes was to strengthen and elevate the patrician classes, exalting to leadership the sons and relatives of geniuses and generals. | With the coming of Christ a new and bet- ‘ter epoch was ushered in. From the mo- ‘ment that Christ eame preaching the “rise and the reign of the common pev- ple.” the generations felt a new impulse and passed under a new influence, From peasants’ cots and workmen's ‘humble thatched homes have come great lartists like Correggio, Corot and Millet, ‘and musicians like Mozart, Mendelssohn and Beethoven. The history of inven- tion and mechanical science is one of the most tragic this old earth contains, be- cause it is wholly and entirely composed ef “The Annal of the Poor.” From the ranks of the pampered rich ‘and the arrogant patrician classes has come no single instance of invention that has alleviated any suffering or ameliorat- ed any of the intolerable ills of human- ity. From the poor have come the great in- yentors like Watt, Stevenson, Edison, | Bell, Berliner, Morse and Fulton. On sea and land the victories achieved in | war's awful havyocs have been all won by the humble and honest, the brave and the gallant sons of toil. In science and in medicine, in astronomy and education, the diseoverers and heroes have ever hail- ed from the ranks of the humble poor. “God must love the poor,” said Abra- ham Lincoln, “because He, created so many of them.” Then I pray this prayer: Godspeed to every church in the world to-day, to every labor union, to every organization of any kind in existence anywhere whose ulti- mate aim and object is the amelioration of sin and suffering, the elevation of mor- als, advancement of education, relieving distress, visiting the sick, burying the dead and caring for the orphans, the aged and infirm. = $ SERMONETTES ; Awaited by the Grace.—When we came into the world we were awaited by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
