State Historical Society WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE HON. JOHN WATTAWA OF KEWAUNEE. Democratic Nominee for Lieutenant Governor. VOLUME IV. HON. JOHN WATTAWA OF KEWAU Democ One of the most popular citizens of Wisconsin today is the Hon. John Wattawa of Kewaunee, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. He was born in Milwaukee in 1860 and has resided in Kewaunee for 40 years. He served four years as principal of the Algoma high school and five years as county superintendent. His admission to the bar dates from 1887 and he has a large practice. He has served four terms as mayor of Kewaunee, and several terms as chairman of the county board and board of education respectively. His nomination by acclamation at the state convention for the office of lieutenant governor was some indication of his popularity in the councils of his party. The public for a moment was astounded by the charges made against him by P. H. CREAM CITY NOTES. We will be glad to publish news of local and race interest if left at the office, 79 Fifth street, before 6 o'clock Wednesday evenings. We would respectfully ask our readers to bestow at least a share of their custom upon those who advertise with us. 安 安 安 Anyone desirous of private tuition in the ordinary or higher branches without publicity can hear of a competent teacher at reasonable rates by applying at the office of the Advocate. * * * * The various remedies and hair restorers advertised in this paper can be had at the advertised price at the office of this paper. * * * * The Advocate is in a position to place an unlimited number of female colored cooks and general servants in the smaller cities of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

Democrats and Republicans united in condemnation of the charges and in expressions of confidence in the candidate. Mayor Rose stood manfully by him until now John Wattawa is the most popular man in the state. Mr. Wattawa has repeatedly demonstrated his friendship for the Race and no one of them have ever appealed to him in vain.

Mr. Clark owns, edits and prints his own paper and under his management and control it has proven a great success. His success as a journalist and business man has been phenomenal and he has the respect of Democrats and Republicans alike. He is a Republican and a stalwart, and he supports his doctrine in the most vigorous and effective manner. —For both sexes the expectation of life in London is greater now than it was twenty years ago, states the medical officer of the London county council. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, SEPTEMBER 11, 1902. HON. JOHN C. SPOONER. Platform—"Unconditional Endorsement." WE CONTINUE TO WARN THE BENEVOLENT PUBLIC AGAINST THE NUMEROUS BEGGARS FOR ALLEGED CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS IN BEHALF OF THE NEGRO RACE. LOOK WELL TO THE CREDENTIALS OF SUCH MENDICANTS AND INQUIRE OF SOME REPUTABLE NEGRO CITIZEN REGARDING THE TRUTHFULNESS OF THEIR STATEMENTS. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. Practical Politics and the Negro. Almost simultaneous with the birth of the Republican party, figuratively, came the emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln which at once conferred freedom and unconditional citizenship upon the entire Negro race in the United States, thus making it eligible for admission as soldiers in the United States army. This had not been contemplated by either Mr. Lincoln nor the Republican party as a measure or policy of the latter, although it was apparent to everyone that both President Lincoln and his party had ulterior motives which would abolish slavery upon a conditional and satisfactory basis to all concerned. As an expediency of war it required a man of courageous sagacity—such as characterized Abraham Lincoln—to act as he did under the circumstances. It was regarded as a most radical movement, even by many sympathetic members of the party, who thought their leader too hasty and in error, but it changed completely the fortunes of the Union army as well as the issues between the Federal government and the Confederacy. It became between the North and South, principally, because the majority of the people residing therein, respectively, were for the absolute freedom of the slaves against the extension and retention of the slave oligarchy. The Negro was, therefore, a creation of circumstances incident to the bloody conflict that begun with the firing upon Fort Sumpter and resulted in the surrender at Appomattox. Notwithstanding the great responsibility that was thrust upon him at the time this crude and unprepared mortal stood the test well and acquitted himself creditably. As a soldier he developed wonderful qualifications for fidelity to duty, obedience to orders and bravery upon the firing line under the most trying circumstances. In short, he made the ideal soldier, who could at all times be relied upon by his superiors. He fought with other loyal men the battles for the nation, with the difference only as to incentive, the former against the continued enslavement of his race with its attendant cruelties and horrors, and the latter for the life and continuance of the Union. His citizenship was baptized and steeped in the blood of his own race; he has done well his part and is entitled to its full enjoyment. The Republican party had the reconstruction upon its hands of what the war created upon its close. The Constitution had to be amended to suit new conditions and forever establish the status of citizenship for the former slave. The history of the gallant leaders of the G. O. P. from Lincoln to Roosevelt has principally but one story to tell, and that is relative to the gross injustice done to the Negro—"man's inhumanity to man." The Negro, by many of the younger and more shallow-pated element of the party has been the object of prejudicial hatred and regarded in the light of a burden upon the neck of the party organization. But to the Republican party, the Negro,—true to his natural instinct of gratitude—was obligated to that party and meant to discharge that obligation to the best of his knowledge and ability even unto death if such sacrifice were necessary to uphold its principles. The story of the days of the reconstruction tell how well the interests of the old party were protected by black men—yea, even by women and children—at the awful cost of life and property. With those who have suffered death and otherwise, it has been principle that actuated them to its defense. The majority of the race, constituting its rank and file, have not been seekers of spoils or office, but have been contented to remain in the trenches and dig the ditches and do whatever work has been required of it. He has preferred to remain in silence a "high" private rather than attempt blatant leadership. The Republican party has no class of membership more loyal to its cause than the Negro race. It is as natural to the black citizen to become identified with the destiny of the party as it is to follow the religious precepts and teachings of his parents. With him it is a sacred duty inherent with the right of suffrage wherever such is granted by the state and not denied by "Jim Crow" constitutional amendments. But the Negro has followed too blindly as a race and worshiped too long and ardently at the shrine of the party god. His obligation has long since been paid and with compound interest at that. We do not mean to change our politics, personally, but we are outspoken in expressing our views regarding the political weal of the race, and believe that representation can best be obtained by a difference of party opinion. To the everlasting shame of the Republican party of this state, in spite of repeated efforts by both capable men and women of the race, no Negro has graced an official nor even an important subordinate position since the party came into existence. This, too, in a state where the party leaders have exhibited the most zealous interests in the enjoyment of civic citizenship by its black residents. The record of the Republican party in the state of Wisconsin presents a strange anomaly and is without parallel in any other state in the union, north or south, east or west. The race has both men and women of education and intelligence and qualifications of both culture and refinement within the state who are as illigible to official recognition as the Pole, the Scandinavian, the German, the Irish or other American. It cannot be said in extenuation of defense that applications have not been made for such recognition. Only a few years ago a lady member of the race who possessed both womanhood of a high order and intelligence was openly insulted at Madison by a man who at the time was an official of the Legislature, but who was recently named by the Republican convention for a most important position upon the present slate with Gov. La Follette, for no other reason than her nationality and was only made to grant her a place upon his force by the hand of a superior power. Isn't it about time that the Negro was becoming more practical in his politics and demand the recognition that is his just due, the same as is granted other nationalities, and stop begging and cringing to party bosses? We admonish the Negro citizens to get together and be men and women with independence and the courage of conviction. The color of your complexion nor the kink of your hair is nothing new to the native born American. You and your race are part of the very history of this country. You are human beings and were created by the same God that created other human beings and are after His image; your record is worthy of better efforts on your part to make all we have said above possible and indeed a reality. The time is opportune for you to strike for the benefit of yourselves and posterity. Used in 1858. Way back in the year 1858 the original Ozonized Ox Marrow was used by colored people in the North and is now used all over the country from Maine to Texas and Oregon to Florida. The continued use of this preparation for such a long period of time is a positive proof that it gives perfect satisfaction to all. It makes kinky or curly hair straight, soft and beautiful. Stops falling hair, cures dandruff and makes the hair grow. Never fails. Warranted harmless. Only 50 cents a bottle. Get it from your dealer or send us 50 cents and we will ship you a bottle express paid. Address, Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. [Portrait of a man with a long beard and a formal suit, facing slightly to the right.] The Democrats of the Ninth Congressional district met in convention at Green Bay last Monday and amidst tremendous enthusiasm nominated Hon. Edward E. Decker by acclamation to represent the Ninth district in the National Congress. The convention hall was packed to the doors, hundreds being unable to gain admission. The convention was called to order at 11 a. m. by Chairman Bedour of Oconto. Col. N. F. Morgan of Outagamie county was elected permanent chairman and R. Weyenberg of Depere secretary. Mr. Decker was placed in nomination by Judge James H. McGillan of Green Bay in a strong speech which elicited tremendous applause. No other name being presented, he was declared nominated by acclamation. Hon. E. E. Decker of Casco, Kewaunee county, Wis., is a native of Maine, born May 2, 1827. Removed to Boston, Mass., at the age of 16, remaining two years. He removed to Wisconsin in 1845 and was among the first that lumbered on the Wolf river; passed several years in Menasha, engaged in hotel and livery business. Located in Kewaunee county in 1855 (that part which is known as Casco); built a log cabin, cut his roads and moved in several families that winter. He was county clerk from its organization up to January, 1869. In fact, he performed the entire official duties of the county during this time to the satis- HON. CHAS. H. WEISSE. [Name] Democratic Candidate for Congress, Sixth District. Hon. Charles H. Weisse of Sheboygan, who secured the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Sixth district on the twenty-sixth ballot after a hard fight, is one of the staunchest friends of the Negro to be found anywhere in Wisconsin. He it was who gave to the Colored people of Fond du Lac their first $100 to build a church after they had been turned down by many Republicans who regaled them with ancient stories of "How my father fought for you." S. S. Barney, who represented the old Fifth district, which included Sheboygan, was gerrymandered out and the district being now Democratic Mr. Weisse is sure of election. NUMBER 49. RD E. DECKER, Congress, Ninth District. faction of all, viz.: county judge, clerk circuit court, register of deeds, et al. Has been largely engaged in the lumbering interests in Kewaunee county, and foremost in all public enterprises. He owns a large saw and shingle mill at Casco, where he now resides; is also engaged in general merchandise, farming and real estate; owns about 6500 acres of land in Kewaunee county and large tract in Door, Oconto, Brown and Clark counties. Was engaged in banking business in Green Bay, from 1872 until 1875. Opened a banking house in the village of Kewaunee July 1, 1881. Mr. Decker founded the Kewaunee Enterprise, the first newspaper published in the county, June 22, 1859. Sold out to J. M. Read January 13, 1869. He was a representative in the state Senate in 1860-61. Mr. Decker did not seek the office. He is already wealthy and had retired to a well earned rest. But his fellow citizens, mindful of his glorious past, and knowing his sterling qualities, sought him out and as a crowning act to a worthy career, conferred the nomination upon him. Judge Decker is a strong friend of the Negro race and has always taken a stand in their favor—arguing that the Democrats were, as individuals, more friendly to the colored man than Republicans. Whether this be true or false we know that hundreds of them will vote for him and Congressman Minor had better look to his guns. Negro Lawyer Says Stand by Spooner. To the Editor of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate—Dear sir: Permit me to extend to you my heartfelt sympathy and gratitude for the magnificent stand you have taken in the fight of La Follette against Spooner. The defeat of Spooner at this time would not only be a severe blow to the Republican party of Wisconsin, but in his defeat 10,000,-000 Negroes would lose their staunchest friend, and the race suffer an irreparable loss; because just now, while we are in the throes of the enemy, and are forced to observe the utter indifference with which the Afro-American is being treated by the Republican members in both branches of Congress, our endeared and constitutional rights sacrificed on the one hand for commercial greed and on the other by base cowardice, I heartily agree with you when you urge the men to stand by their guns. And yet but for the loyalty of the Negro the Republican party in 1876, 1880, 1889, 1896 and 1900 there would have been Democratic presidents, and then to see the hatred of Democracy toward the Negro and then look at the hellish renegades in both branches of Congress, I say that not alone in Wisconsin is the Afro-American vitally interested in the return of Spooner to the Senate, but every person in the United States that has a drop of Negro blood in his veins is deeply concerned in the return of that splendid American to the United States Senate. One of our leading attorneys in this city is a member of that family, Marshall A. Spooner, who is a cousin of your distinguished senator, and he has proven himself equally as friendly to the Negro and as open and courageous in championing the cause of the Afro-American as his illustrious cousin. Hoping you will keep up the fight until you have completely routed the enemy, Yours. CHARLES W. SCRUTCHIN. CONFERENCE A FAILURE. Gov. Stone and Others Plead with : Coat Barons. ‘MORGAN SAYS NOTHING Qne of His Henchmen, However, Says | that Trust Magnate’s Attitude bo _ ‘Remains Unchanged. ! New York, Sept. 10.—Gov. William A. Stone of Pennsylvania, accompanied by Attorney General Elkins of Pennsyl- yvania and Senator Flynn of Pittsburg, made a special pilgrimage to this city to induce J. P. Morgan to intervene in the anthracite coal strike and failed. ) P. A. B. Widener, acting as intermed- jary for Gov. Stone, made a visit to the office of Mr. Morgan, and after a private conference with him informed Goy. Stone that Mr. Morgan declined to interfere or in any way change the attitude he has held ever since his return from Europe. . Gov. Stone and his party went directly to the offices of the United States Steel Corporation in the Empire building. ‘There they had a conference with P. A. B. Widener on the strike situation. Later Mr. Widener went to the office of J. P. Morgan, where he had a talk lasting not more than five minutes with Mr. Morgan. i Stone Gives Partial Statement. ' Goy. Stone hurried for the elevator as soon as the conference ended and almost bumped into a sup of reporters on the xround floor. He smiled and said: “Gentlemen, I am glad you have waited for me. I have a little statement for you, and here it is.” He produced a scrap of paper containing the following: “Attorney General Elkins, Senator Flyan and myself have been in consulta- tion for some hours with P. A. B. Widen- er of Philadelphia, who is a director in the United States Steel Corporation, and is associated with Mr. Morgan in many business interests. Mr. Widener is anx- ious to see the strike settled, and took up the matter me Mr. Mergan. We are doing what ean.” Gov. Stone declined to add anything to his stafement. Morgan’s Partner Tatks. ‘There were rumors afloat that the gov- ernor’s visit had results, but George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co. denied that there was any change in the situa- tion. Word to the same effect was re- ceived by long distance telephone from President Truesdale of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, who is out of town. It was reported that a statement would be issued by J. P. Morgan & Co. con- cerning the day's negotiations, but just before the firm’s offices were closed for the day Mr. Perkins said the firm had nothing to give out. Mr. Perkins said that Mr. Morgan had had no direct word from, Goy. Stone, but that Mr. Widener had been in conference with Mr. Morgan. He added that Mr. Morgan had no comment to make in re- gard to the conference. i Strike of Chicago Teamsters.

FILLED WITH MYSTERY. Tragedies. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 9.—The finding and identification of the body of William Bartholin in a field at Lowthers, Ia., throws little or no light upon the Bar- tholin case in its details. The first and most important thing in Bartholin’s coa- fession is the sentence, “It was all Min- nie and I could do.” The natural ques- tion that presents itself is, “What had Miss Mitchell to do with the death of Mrs. Bartholin?’ No one has been found who even intimated that Minnie Mitchell knew anything of the death of Mrs. Bartholin. ‘The history of the case is filled with mystery. From the first no light has been thrown upon it that would leave the police even a plausible theory on which to work. These are some of the questions they would like to have an- swered: What was the motive that induced Bartholin to kill his mother? ‘ How did he succeed in transferring the body to the cellar and in burying it with- out being seen or suspected? Why did be kill the little dog, which was his mother’s fayorite, and bury it in the cellar, destroying the body with quicklime, without using the same upon the body of .his mother? The manner in which Bartholin con- cenled his mother’s “disappearance,” the circumstances of her death, and what he told Edward Counselman on the night of July 12, when Counselman cglted at the Bartholin home, are other mysteries the police cannot explain. About the Girl’s Death. Coming down to the disappearance of Bartholin and Miss Minnie Mitchell the police still find themselves face to face with inexplicable circumscances. Was Minnie Mitchell aware of the murder of Mrs. Bartholin? Was it Bartholin’s intention to kill the girl that night? If so, where did he kill her? Hew did he get the body to Seventy-fourth and Scate streets? Where Miss Mitchell and Bartholin went after tifey were seen at Indiana avenue and Forty-thirdg street by Sam Wisler and Con Mulvey never bas been learned. The most plausible theory has been that théy weut for a street car vide which terminated in the murder et Miss Mitchell at Seventy-fourth and State stréets, The motive of that mur- der is believed to have been her discov- ery of the. murder of Mrs. Bartholin and Aer threat to expose the young man. Wich the death of the girl Bartholin had no further motive to remain in the city. Driven by fear of capture, he sought safety on ows farms, where re- morse finally drove him to suicide. Sudden Exodus of the Roomers. Another phase of the case which never has been satisfactorily explained is the sudden exodus of the roomers. Milton L. 8. Edwards and E. Orson Hunter left the city hurriedly, July 31. Thompson closed up the house and sought quarters elsewhere. Edward» said he was “afraid” to stay there longer, “for fear he would be murdered.” Hunter said Thompson told him to get out, as he “intended io ciose the house.” ‘Thompson's reason for leav- ing, given to Inspector Hunt, was be- cause Mrs. Bartholin and “Will” had disappeared, and ‘he knew of nothing else to do. Condition or the Bodies. One of the striking features to the po- lice was the condition of the bodies of the three principals of the tragedy. None was recognizable when discovered. Was it the idea of William Bartholin at the start to effect this result? The motives which prevailed in the whole case still are amystery, and there is little he of their ever being known. ‘he confession left by the mur- dever indicated that he knew of the ar- rest of Thompson, Counse!man ad Claffy, yet no ene with whom he associated after his departure from Chicago has been found who eer saw him purchase or read a newspaper. Perhaps in the future some person will offer the key to the case, which has proven the greatest mystery in the history of the Chicago police. Reminded of His Mother. Riceville, In., Sept. 9.—Since the dis- covery of the body of a suicide and its identification as that of William Bartho- lin, country folk are recalling incidents of the murderer’s stay in this vicitity. All show that the young man suffered keenly frosn remorse. a Charles’ Hoeft remembered another in- cident of Bartholin’s stay with him. Mrs. Hoeft’s baking had been delayed, and when the mea sat down to dinner she brought in the hot loaves of bread, still steaming. “This is bread like my mother used to mike,’ said Dvorak. He hesitated for a moment, and then continued, address- ing Bartholin: “How about yours?” “Stevens, as we knew Bartholin then.” said Mrs. Hoeft, “nearly choked. We thought he had swallowed something the wrong way. So I poured out a big cup of buttermilk, but he shook his head and went out. When he got just outside the kitchen door he was sick at his stomach, and then he went down by the big tree by the well and sat and cried for over an hour.” CANNOT GET ANTHRACITE. War Department Driven to Use of Bitu- minous in Buildings. Washington, D. C., Sept. 9.—The coi- tractor who furnished .coal for the war department hag notified Chief Clerk Scofield that he no longer could obtain anthracite coal. He said if the department could obtain anthracite he would pay the difference between the contract price and the price the depart- ment would have to pay.

Jefferson Woman Says She Left Home Because She was Overworked on Farm. La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 10.—[{Special.] —As a sequel to the alleged elopement of a couple from Jefferson, Wis., habeas corpus proceedings were instituted by Jacob Raeithel, husband of Mrs. Sar- bara Raeithel, to obtain custody of the two children which the women took with her. The petition alleges that the woman was an unfit person to have charge of the children, and also alleges that she committed adultery with Her- man Schulbert. Both the woman and Schulbert deny this and also deny stay- ing at the Hotel Julian together. Mrs. Rueithel’s name appears alone on the hotel register, and there is no evidence that anything improper had been com- mitted. Court Commissioner Alfred Harrison, before whom the matter was taken, granted the custody of the chil- dren to the husband, and he left with them for Jefferson. Mrs. Raeithel de- clares that she was overworked on the farm by her husband, and that she was often cruelly treated by him. She is a German woman in her forties. She says she will probably return to Jefferson and sue for a divorce. Schulbert says that he met the woman here and did not come to La Crosse from Jefferson in her company. J. €. SPENCER’S DEATH.

Tomahawk, Wis., Sept. 10.—[Special.] --A human skeleton was found in the woods three miles north of this city. Little was found to throw light upon the identity of the man or how he came to his death. The body might have laid there one or two years. Every vestige of flesh had disappeared. The oniy trace of clothing was the remnant of a blue striped shirt and a part of a cheap pair of trousers within overalis. The feet were encased in a pair of light summer shoes. Wild animals had_cvi- dently torn the body to pieces. #rom the light clothing it is evident that the man must have met his death during tie summer season. The fact that the body was found near a runway lends color to the theory that the unfortunate wandered from the railroad along the trail, thinking it might lead him to a human habitation; that night was coming on and in the dusk he was mistaken for a deer by il- legal hunters, who shot him and left the body to rot.

NOT AT ALL MODEST. London, Sept. 10.—A parliamentary paper issued today gives a full report of the recent conference between the colonial secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, and the Boer generals, Botha, Dewet and Delarey. Prior to agreeing to the interview which the Boers asked for August 20, the colonial secretary requested a list of the subjects which it was desired to discuss, and the generals forwarded a list, including the following: Complete amnesty to the rebels. A yearly grant to all Boer widows and orphans and maimed burghers. Equal rights for the English and Dutch languages in the schools and courts. languages in the schools and courts. That equal rights with the British be conceded to burghers complying with the terms of surrender, including the right to return to South Africa. The immediate release of all prisoners of war. The reinstatement of the officials of the late South African republics or compensation for their loss of office. Compensation for all loss occasioned by the British troops by the use, removal, burning or destruction by other means of all private property. The reinstatement of the burghers in the ownership of their farms confiscated or sold under the proclamation of August 7, 1901. Compensation for the use of the properities of burghers taken by the British authorities. Payment of the lawful obligations of the late South African republics, including those incurred during the war. The resselection of the decision to add a portion of the Transyval to Natal. Granting an extension of time for the payment of all debts due by the burghers to the late governments of the South African republics. Chamberlain is Staggered. Mr. Chamberlain, in replying, expressed great surprise at the number and character of the proposals, pointing out that the conditions agreed on at Vereeniging were duly accepted by the burghers and the British government and that they could not be reopened, nor could proposals rejected at that time be again discussed. If the interpretation of the agreement was open to question his majesty's government would endeavor to remove all doubts. At the opening of the conference the Boer generals disclaimed any desire to alter the terms of surrender in any way. On the subject of amnesty to rebels Gen. Botha expressed disappointment that after the promise given by Lord Kitchener that the rebels had not been granted amnesty at the time of King Edward's coronation, in reply to which Mr. Chamberlain promised that the imperial government would not hinder any generous intentions of the governments of Natal and Cape Colony in regard to rebels. As to the return of burghers to South Africa the colonial secretary declared it was the government's intention to retain the right to prevent the return of disloyal persons who had not frankly accepted the terms of peace, instancing former State Secretary Reitz of the Transvaal as a case in point, and saying that Mr. Reitz was using language on the continent inconsistent with the declarations he had signed at Vereeniging. Reitz' Foolish Talk. Gen. Botha said he hoped that the "sins of one man would not be visited upon others," adding: "If one man says foolish things, let him suffer therefor alone." Mr. Chamberlain informed the generals that there was no truth in the report that the government intended to sell farms belonging to burghers. Regarding some farms sold in the Orange River colony under the proclamation of August 7, 1901, Mr. Chamberlain promised that the farms bought by the government would be retransferred to their former owners. Gen. Potha criticised the composition of the commission appointed to allot the grant of $15,000,000 (for the purpose of assisting burghers and their families to return to their homes and for restocking their farms, etc.) and objected to national scouts serving as commissioners, but Mr. Chamberlain maintained that the government must be true to those who supported it. Relative to the transfer to Natal of part of the Transvaal, Gen. Potha said the burghers proposed to trek therefrom. He lived there, but he saw no chance of remaining, the feeling of the British in Natal being so strongly anti-Boer. On the subject of martial law, Mr. Chamberlain said it would not be continued much longer. Recognition Refused The colonial secretary refused to recognize as burghers foreigners who had been naturalized during or just out of the war, saying they had been bribed by the resolution of the Volksraad, giving them burghers' rights as a reward for taking part in a conflict in which they were not concerned. Gen. Botha concluded with an appeal for the widows and orphans, and said he considered that the appropriation of $15,000,000 was inadequate. Replying to this, Mr. Chamberlain compared Great Britain's treatment of the Boers with the treatment of the South by the North after the Civil war in America. "I would remind the general." said Mr. Chamberlain, "that we have undertaken already more obligations than have ever before been undertaken under similar circumstances. To take one case in my time, I recollect very well the great Civil War in America, and I appeal to that because that stands out as a case in which, more than ever before, or indeed ever since, the victor showed a magnanimous and generous feeling to the conquered. There was good reason for this because they were brothers of the same race, the same religion, the same everything. It was a civil war, but even in that case the Northern side, that is to say the victorious side, made no provision whatever, either by way of grant, pension, or allowance, to the people who had been wounded, to the side that had been conquered. They gave them their lives and their liberties, and after a period of ten years gave them votes but did not give them any money compensation. But we have gone a step beyond that, because we have contributed, in addition to all our own enormous expenses, a very large sum to relieve those who are really destitute in our new colonies. We have done more than I think was expected, and we have done all that we can afford to do, and I think it would be undesirable for the generals to press us any farther in this matter, either now or in writing." Both Have Much to Forgive. Proceeding, Mr. Chamberlain reciprocated the desire expressed by Gen. Botha that they should all live in peace in future in South Africa. "We went in this country," said the colonial secretary, "to forgive and forget. because if you think, as you well may, that you have something to forgive, we also think we have a great deal to forgive. But we want to put all that on one side. The war is over. We each fought as well as we knew how and now there is peace. All we want is to recognize you as fellow-subjects with ourselves, working as we shall for the prosperity and liberty of South Africa. How great that liberty is and how soon complete self-government will be extended to South Africa depends entirely upon the rapidity with which the old animosities die out." Mr. Chamberlain concluded with saying that the government would be glad of the co-operation of men like the generals who had loyally accepted the new situation. As they wanted South Africa to be a happy abiding place for all, he felt sure that if the burghers met the British half way they would find them quite as good friends in the future as they had been loyal enemies in the past. CAUSED BY JEALOUSY, Married Woman Horsewhips Pretty Girl and is Promptly Shot by the Latter Bloomington, Ill., Sept. 10.—A sensational tragedy took place in the residence district of the city, near the corner of Market and Prairie streets, about 9 o'clock last night. Daisy Carlton, a very pretty girl of 20 years, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Joseph Leslie, following an attack on the former with a horsewhip by the murdered woman. The shooting was the sequel to the jealousy aroused in Mrs. Leslie's breast by the alleged attentions paid to Miss Carlton by her husband. Miss Carlton has always lived in Bloomington, but of late years her parents have been in somewhat reduced circumstances, and she has been forced to earn her own living. She has been employed for several weeks as waitress in a local chophouse, and at the same place Joseph Leslie was engaged as cook. Leslie and his wife came here from Springfield about a year ago, and he has since been employed in the same occupation. It seems that several weeks ago Mrs. Leslie visited the restaurant and bitterly denounced the Carlton girl for encouraging the attentions of her husband, as she expressed it. As her anger increased she hurled a tumbler of water at the girl. It is also stated that she has accosted her on other occasions and scored her for her conduct. Last night as Mrs. Carlton and a girl friend were going to her home on the east side, they noticed concealed behind a tree the wife of Leslie. They started to cross the street diagonally to avoid her, but she followed and, according to the statement of the two girls, struck Miss Carlton several times with her whip. Miss Carlton suddenly drew a revolver from a pocket and, pointing it at the head of Mrs. Leslie, pulled the trigger. The bullet severed the jugular vein and the victim bled to death in a few minutes. She did not recover consciousness nor make any statement. Miss Carlton retraced her steps with rare self-possession to the business district and gave herself up to the officers. She has declined to make any statement. FIRED A MAGAZINE. Admiral Killick Refused to Obey the Instructions Given by Gen. Boisrond Canal. Gonaives, Hayti, Sept. 10.—An investigation into the sinking of the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot at the entrance of this harbor Saturday shows that Admiral Killick, her commander, personally fired the after magazine of that vessel when the German gunboat Panther attempted to capture her and that he apparently went down with his ship. The Panther, which had previously attempted to board the Crete-a-Pierrot, the latter being moored to the shore, reversed her engines when the magazine exploded and one hour afterwards fired thirty shots from her guns at the Crete-a-Pierrot in order to finish the work of sinking her. It is claimed here that the rifles and the machine guns of the Crete-a-Pierrot have been saved. The body of Admiral Killick was recovered Saturday afternoon and was buried the same evening. The surgeon of the Crete-a-Pierrot, who was asleep in his cabin, and two sailors of that vessel also perished. A newspaper of Port au Prince dated July 14 contained the following telegram from Admiral Killick to Gen. Boisrond Canal, provisional President of Hayti: Gonalves, July 12.—Boisrond Canal, Port au Prince. Killick does not fear anything. Will blow up ship and company for the sake of the national honor. You alone remain responsible. Previous to sending the message to Gen. Boisrond Canal, it appears Admiral Killick had received orders from the latter to give up his vessel to Lieut. Reid, his second in command, and it was also reported that the provisional government had requested the United States gunboat Marietta and the French cruiser d'Assas to capture the Crete-a-Pierrot, hence the defiant dispatch to Gen. Boisrond Canal. Desperate Fighting Kingston, Jamaica, Sept 10.—The German steamer Valencia arrived here today from Santa Maria, capital of the department of Magdalena, Colombia, and reported that desperate fighting occurred there from Friday to Monday last.

Mr. Roth made the gruesome discovery while excavating for a foundation for a building. He had not dug down very far before he came in contact with the box and on opening it found the body. Old inhabitants recall that nearly thirty years ago a stranger came to this place and settled on the Roth farm. The family was very small and had little or nothing to do with any of their neighbors. After a time the man disappeared and nothing was ever seen of him. Soon after that the rest of the family left this vicinity. FATAL HEADACHE CURE. CHARLES W. ROBERTS OF RACINE TAKES AN OVERDOSE. Dies Alone in House While His Wife and Children Are at Church. Racine, Wis., Sept. 8. - Charles William Roberts, one of Racine's best known citizens, died yesterday at his home on Washington avenue from taking medicine. His wife and children were at church at the time. The powder is said to contain quantities of drugs produced from coal tar. Mr. Roberts was for many years manager of the Manitowoc News and later was identified with the Racine Journal. He was 40 years of age and was born and raised in the city of Racine, receiving his education in the public schools here. He is survived by an aged father, W. H. Roberts, a widow, two sons, two brothers and one sister. Mr. Roberts was a thirty-second degree Mason. DYNAMITE EXPLODES. Fearful Concussion Caused by Explosion at Appleton—Fatality Narrowly Averted. Appleton, Wis., Sept. 8.—[Special.]— The four iron tires of the wheels is the only portion of a buggy which remained intact this morning as the result of an accidental explosion of fifteen sticks of dynamite on the farm of George Cough, near this city. Mr. Cough had purchased twenty pieces of the explosive and placed six of them under a stump, leaving the remainder of the vehicle. The six pieces were ignited and the stump blown up. A portion of the burning stump dropped into the buggy, the concussion exploding the dynamite in the rig. The explosion was terrific and narrowly resulted in a fatality. Several cows and a horse stabled in a barn near by were knocked to the floor and the concussion was distinctly felt throughout the Fourth ward of this city. COVERED WITH TAR. Painful Accident to Minneapolis Man While Working on a Roof at Kaukauna. Kaukauna, Wis., Sept. 8.—[Special.] —A peculiar and very painful accident happened here Saturday afternoon to C. L. Sanborn of Minneapolis, Minn., who was engaged in covering the roof of the Kaukauna mill with tar. Sanborn had just reached the highest part of the roof with a bucket of hot tar when he slipped and the contents of the vessel covered him from head to foot, burning the exposed parts of his body terribly. His face, hands and one arm are deeply burned. When the doctor tried to remove the thick coating from his face the whole surface came away like a mask, the skin having blistered deeply and peeled off the eyelashes, eyebrows and his mustache in one piece. Physicians think his eyes can be saved, and that he will recover. FIERCE STORM IN WEST WISCONSIN. School at -au Claire is Struck and Several Persons are Shocked Torrents of Rain. Eau Claire, Wis., Sept. 8.—[Special.]—A sharp electric storm occurred about 2 o'clock this morning. The high school was struck by lightning and slightly damaged and the residence of Breck Boswick, nearby, was in the path of the bolt and all the family were severely shocked. La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 8.—[Special.]—One of the fiercest electrical storms of the season passed over here early this morning accompanied by torrents of water fall. As yet no damage is reported but is expected. BLOW SAFES DURING STORM Robbers Break Into Bank and Postoffice at Arena. Arena, Wis., Sept. 8.—The store building of Orht & Salzman Bros., in which is also located the banking house of W. H. Jones and the postoffice, was entered by burglars about midnight under cover of a very heavy rain and electrical storm, which were accompanied by heavy and frequent peals of thunder. They succeeded in blowing up the large safe in the bank portion of the building and in forcing an entrance into the store safe of the firm. Banker W. H. Jones, who resides with his family at Madison, had withdrawn all money from the safe before leaving for home. The burglars succeeded in locating the government till in the postoffice and rifled it of a few stamps and small change. A larger package, containing over $100 in postage stamps, which was left in fireproof safe over night, was taken and a small amount of goods from the dry goods department in the same building, consisting principally of wearing apparel. New London, Wis., Sept. 8.—The North-Western depot was broken into Saturday night, the gum machines were broken and robbed, the baggage room entered, trunks broken open, clothes scattered about the room and one valise cut open and the contents spilled out. Two tramps are suspected. SOLDIERS AT HOME. THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING ANECDOTES OF THE WAR. How the Boys of Both Armies Whiled Awhy Life in Camp-Foraging Experiences, Tiresome Marches-Thrilling Scenes on the Battlefield. Occasionally one comes across a verse or line that unexpectedly touches a dormant chord in the heart and bids the teardrop spring. Into the past we wander under the influence of such excitant and bygone memories, then come to view pictures long since velled even from ourselves. Memory uprises, silences upstart, life and emotion that once were real become again to us a reality. That which in this way touches one heart bids fair to touch others, and just now a letter in print brings before the writer of these lines a boyish face of the long ago, a childish companion, who turned his face toward the loved South, never by us, his boyhood's friends, to be seen again. But let that pass. The subject is "The Death of Johnnie Burns," possibly now told for the first time in its realistic pathos to his relatives and friends, if relative he has yet living. Johnnie Burns was a Cincinnati boy, a hero whose name history ignores. No shoulder straps were his part, but that he was a hero will be evident to whoever reads the story this Southern soldier, forty years after the boy's death, tells in his letter to the Confederate Veteran, which chances to come before my eyes. It is a touchingly pathetic tale, and challenges thought. One cannot but wonder which Baptist Sunday school in this city the boy attended, who were his loved ones, whether that Bible with the bloody finger marks on the fourteenth chapter of St. John ever reached his mother. And one cannot but further wonder, after these years have passed, if in this city lives a friend to value this veteran's touching tribute paid to their boyish soldier of that sad long ago, or if it strikes only empty air in the home city where once the child was a pet. With a view of possibly doing a service to relative or comrade, possibly bringing some member of the Fourth Ohio into touch with the Southern soldier who cared for a brother in blue, I presume to offer for publication this Confederate's letter concerning the death of Johnnie Burns of Cincinnati. From the Confederate Veteran: "C. L. Gay, an Alabama veteran, writes that Joe T. Williams of Montgomery, was a member of company D, Twenty-first Alabama regiment, and tells this: "A comrade and I were searching the battlefield of Shiloh for some missing men of our company, D, of the Twenty-first Alabama regiment. In passing through a swampy thicket near where that regiment charged the Fourth Ohio regiment early in the morning, we heard the voice of a wounded man crying: "Boys! boys!" Thinking it might possibly be one of our men we went to him. He first begged for a drink of water, which I gave him out of my canteen. After he was wounded he had rolled into the edge of this thicket in order to protect himself from being run over by the flying ambulances, artillery and cavalry, constantly passing near. His left knee cap was entirely shot off, and he was extremely weak from the loss of blood. His pitiful appeal to help him we could not and would not resist after talking to him. His name was John Burns of Cincinnati, Ohio, company B, Fourth Ohio regiment. He begged to be carried to our field hospital, where he might receive attention, and, if possible, get word to his loving mother, being her only son. He had a small Bible in his hand, with his thumb resting inside on the fourteenth chapter of St. John. His thumb being bloody it made a bloody spot on this chapter. He desired that the Bible should be sent to his mother, showing where he last read. Our field hospital being a few hundred yards in the rear, we carried him there and requested our surgeon, Dr. Redwood, of Mobile, to examine him, which he did in a few minutes, the hospital being crowded with patients. On examination the doctor found his wound to be fatal and his physical condition too weak for an operation. He was 18 years old. When the doctor told him there was no hope he inquired if there were any Christians present. We told him yes. In the meantime several of our comrades had gathered around him. He requested a prayer, to which one of us responded, all being deeply touched, then repeating a few lines of his mother's favorite song: Where saints immortal stand. Which he requested us to sing with him. This song begun there was taken up through the entire camps, even back among the Federal prisoners. All around then bade him good-by. He handed me his Bible, and requested me to hand it to Sergeant Stevenson, of Company B, Fourth Ohio Regiment. This sergeant knew his family, and he wanted him to send it to his mother and tell her he "died a Christian." The next morning I went to the hospital and learned he was dead. "As his body lay there I thought his face bore the most peaceful look I ever saw. I learned this Fourth Ohio Regiment was a part of General Prentiss' brigade, which we had almost entirely captured and had them corralled near our lines. I told my captain about the incident and requested a pass to the prisoners to see if I could find Sergeant Stevenson. He granted my request, and I soon located the Fourth Ohio Regiment and inquired for the sergeant, calling his name. He came forward to know what I wanted. I inquired if he knew John Burns. He said, "Yes, have you all got him?" I replied, "No, he is in glory." I then told of his death. He was visibly affected, and I could not restrain myself. He said: "Johnnie Burns was the best boy I ever saw; he was a pet with the company. I boarded with his family in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was his Sunday school teacher in the Baptist church." Other comrades gathered near and heard of his death, all being very much affected, and expressed their gratitude to me for what I had done. During my entire service of three years I frequently noticed the fondness which existed between Ohio and Alabama soldiers. "This narrative I have frequently told, and now, in my declining years, I desire it published. After the battles are over there still exists that tender tie between mankind and human sympathy which is wondrous kind."—John Uri Lloyd, in Cincinnati Enquirer. Kenesaw a Picturesque Fight. "The most picturesque battle I ever witnessed was at Kenesaw," remarked Gen. Joseph Wheeler. "It was on the morning of June 27, 1864, that we Confederates found that Sherman had strengthened his picket line, and presently he began a warm fire in our direction. Within half an hour after the small arms opened on us the heavy field pieces began to pour a raking fire into our lines. Our breastworks were strong and so were those of the Fed- A "A MAJESTIC SIGHT, EVEN TO A CONFEDERATE." erals. Directly I knew that this continued firing meant an assault upon us. "When the sun was well up I saw a long line of Federals rise up out of their breastworks, move forward 300 yards and then lie down. It was a majestic sight, even to a Confederate. Then in a few minutes another line of soldiers was seen to rise up, march forward 200 yards in good order and then lie down. During all this time the Federals were keeping up a continuous fire. In twenty minutes the fire had become so fierce that our pickets were driven back and our forces were in a rather demoralized condition. In the meantime a number of Union soldiers had reached our breastworks and were engaged in a hand-to-hand conflict with our men. Then the Confederates rallied and after a half-hour of the fiercest fighting I ever saw they managed to drive the enemy back into their breastworks. Both armies now sent out flags of truce and began gathering up the dead and caring for the wounded. I shall never forget that scene."—Chicago Record. The public has always been under the impression that Gen. Nelson A. Miles issued the orders placing the shackles on President Jefferson Davis during his imprisonment, as taught by most histories. Several days ago there was in Mobile F. M. Shipman, of Meridian, Miss. In conversation with him the subject of Mr. Davis' imprisonment was mentioned, the name of Gen. Miles was mentioned as the officer responsible for this seemingly brutal act. Mr. Shipman, who was then a lieutenant in the United States army, said that he was in command of the guard whose duty it was to watch the fort in which the noted prisoner was kept and forcibly declares that Gen. Miles was not the one who issued the orders. He says that the secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton, was the dictator and issuer of these great talked-of orders. The secretary sent the orders to Gen. Miles, who then gave them to Mr. Shipman that he might carry them into execution, which was done. After wearing the shackles for two hours they were removed from the prisoner. Another order accompanied this one, saying that anything on Mr. Davis' person was to be sent to Gen. Miles. Mr. Shipman found this duty much more difficult to perform, as there were many small articles that Mr. Davis wished to retain. One article in particular, was a comb given him by his wife, but in accordance with orders Mr. Shipman was compelled to send all to Gen Miles, sending with them a request that they be returned to Mr. Davis, which was done a short time afterward. Mr. Shipman does not know whether the last order was issued by the secretary of war or not, says the Birmingham (Ala.) News, but has every reason to believe it was. Mr. Davis was allowed neither a knife nor fork during his imprisonment. This hardship Mr. Shipman was able to overcome by the assistance of one of the guards who carved from hard wood a knife and fork that Mr. Davis might use. The knife was in possession of a lady in Alabama when last heard from. SHORT TEMPERANCE SERMONS. The young man who drinks strong liquor is like the commander of a fortified city who deliberately admits a known enemy within its walls. Drink is more hostile and more deadly than any army. It has sent more men to destruction and death than have all the armies of the world. There is nothing in it. You can't gain by it; you may lose everything—health, position, reputation, self-respect, manhood, soul. The first drink admits a demon that every successive drink strengthens, until some day it may be strong enough to dominate and glut its ravenous appetite with your brain and blood. You may think yourself strong enough to resist taking too much. Don't deceive yourself about your strength. You know nothing about that until the test comes, and then it often is too late. You may never be sure you have the strength to resist until you have asserted that strength by resistance. To resist once, or twice, or a dozen times, does not prove strength to resist always. It can be proved only by constant and unfailing resistance. Any man can resist sometimes. The only man who can have absolute confidence in his power to resist is he who never drinks at all. If you have the strength, use it. Assert it now. One drink more is too much. Be strong right now. It is your best chance. And do not fall into the dangerous delusion that only weak men overdrink. Weak men do not, as a rule, overdo anything. It is the strong, self-confident man, who drinks as he does all else, with gusto and without fear, proud of his strength, who some day succumbs to the subtle, insidious poison that rots his body and palsies his brain. Strong young man! If you can today mock at the assertion that one drink is too much, some day you may think the same of ten drinks, and later $ ^{0}f $ twenty drinks. And when that day comes, the strength that could resist one drink, before appetite was formed, will be but as straw in a whirlwind. If you have not the strength and sense to stop drinking right now, when will you have it? Will continued yielding give you added strength or better sense? When the raveled nerves of a disordered stomach and the flaccid tissues of a softening brain demand whisky, will you, who could not resist when strength and sense were whole and craving was unknown—will you be better able to resist then? It is not an absturse question of piety, or ethics, or morality; it is a simple question of common sense and health. One does not need to become a drunkard in the gutter to be injured by whisky. It is poison even in small quantities. Few physicians prescribe it any longer for any purpose except in hopeless cases to dull the senses at the approach of death. No physician of learning and honor administers it to the young in any case. When impure, as most of the commercial whisky is, it is full of unknown dangers. When pure it is more dangerous still. It is sometimes given to pups to stunt their growth and turn them into "freaks." The young man hoping for the highest possible mental and physical development should think seriously of this when tempted to put himself in the place of the pup. Young man, don't drink! There is no good in it. The only possible result is harm to yourself and sorrow to those that love you best. Refuse the first drink, or, if you have taken that and more, assert your strength now, and refuse to take another, and the spirits of all dearest to you, on earth or in Heaven, will lean and listen and smile. Take it, and devils will laugh and leer and mock. St. Louis Chronicle. What One Glass of Rum Did. A sailor once spoke as follows to a large audience of people: "My friends, I don't know how to make a speech, but I want to tell you what one glass of rum did for me. I had a small vessel on the coast. My brother was the mate and there were two other sailors. I had my wife and two children on board. One night it was stormy. My brother was to keep watch that night. The sailors persuaded him to take one glass of rum to help him through the night. He was not used to liquor. It overcame him and he sank into a heavy sleep. I woke after midnight to find my vessel a wreck. I took one of the little ones in my arms and my wife took the other. For hours we battled with the cold waves. After a long struggle the waves swept the little one from my embrace. Before long the other little one was swept from the arms of my wife and our darlings were lost from us forever. We battled on with the storm and the waves. Then I looked at my wife and she was cold in death. I struggled on and made my way to the shore. Then I found that my wife, my children and all I had in the world were snatched away from me by one glass of rum." Thomas Sheridan, 18 years old, was before Magistrate Pool in the Essex Market Court, New York City, recently, on the complaint of his mother, Mary, who told the magistrate that the boy had abused and threatened to assault her. She said he drank beer to excess. "Why don't you stop your drinking?" said the court. "I can't, because beer has got a hold on me," replied the prisoner. Sheridan was sent to the workhouse for six months. The Wisconsin Weekly Advocate Printed in the Interests of the Negro Race. MILWAUKEE, WIS. Telephone Black No. 244.

The claim of an Austrian reform journal that no less than 1500 soldiers were killed or wounded in the recent manoeuvers in Hungary is proof, if true, that the Austrian soldiers play too earnestly. Kaiser Wilhelm's salute to the American officers who viewed the autumn manoeuvers, on Templehof field was one of those royal acts that mean a great deal in the code of stiff-necked military amenities.

The rapids at Niagara Falls have been navigated by a swimmer, but the swimmer, Carlisle D. Graham, was simply a passenger on a set of floats. The difference between an act of this kind and a trip through the rapids in a barrel lies only in the character and the size of the floats. HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT One of the handiest tools to have in the house is an ordinary pair of strong gas pliers. In a household there are innumerable small jobs and repairs to be done, on account of constant wear and tear, and a manageable tool always ready at hand is a great help to the housekeeper. The most refractory nails and tacks can be pulled from floors and carpets, bent tinware can be pressed into shape, wire can be cut and twisted, and the wire from wired bottles easily taken off by these pliers. For holding hot tin plates or small baking tins the tool is very convenient; for screwing in hooks and numerous other little things which are required in every house it is almost indispensable. Mixed Fruit Safad. Mixed Fruit Salad. This is made of one pineapple, four bananas, the yolks of four eggs, three oranges, one cup of powdered sugar and the juice of two lemons. Peel the pineapple, remove the "eyes," cut out the core and shred the remainder; cut the peeled and seeded oranges into small pieces and slice the bananas. The yolks of the eggs should be beaten until light and frothy, then the powdered sugar may be gradually added, and the lemon juice must be beaten in last. Arrange the fruit in a deep glass dish, first a layer of fruit, then one of dressing, alternately. This salad should be made at least an hour before required, and placed on ice to become thoroughly cold. Ribs of Beef in Belleyne. After the ribs of beef are prepared cook them the same as for a la Bristed, adding several calves' feet. When the meat is well cooked remove it from the fire, strain the gravy, and clarify it. Pare the meat well and glaze. Have a jelly-coated mould sufficiently large to contain this, put it in, and fill the entire mould with jelly, leaving it on the ice till ready to serve. Unmould it on a large dish, garnish around with chopped jelly, and form an outside border of oblongs or triangles of jelly. Fried Stuffed Eggs. Prepare the eggs as for stuffed eggs, filling the cavity of the whites evenly, and pressing the two halves together so as to make it appear as a whole egg. Take what is left of the mixture, add to it one raw egg beaten light, roll each egg in this, covering thoroughly every part of it, and fry in boiling fat. Serve around a dish of green peas, or with cream sauce into which has been stirred, just before removing from the fire, two slightly heaping tablespoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese. Toasted Sandwiches. Often after a picnic or entertainment a housewife has a number of breadand-butter sandwiches left, too stale to serve. They may form the basis of a bread pudding, or they make an attractive dish for breakfast, luncheon or supper in the shape of toasted sandwiches. Do not take them apart, lay them between the wires of a toaster and hold over a clear red fire. The butter will melt and the inside left soft, warm and buttered, with the outside a crisp, golden brown. Cream Rice Pudding. Two tablespoons cold boiled rice, three tablespoons sugar, yolk one egg, three tablespoons constarch, two cups milk, one-half teaspoon vanilla. Put the milk with the cold rice in a double boiler, add the sugar and salt. When it boils, add the constarch wet in a few tablespoons of cold milk. Just before it is ready to take from the fire, add the egg and flavoring. Eat cold with whipped cream. Water Frozen in the Carafe. When water is served at the table from a carafe, it may be frozen in the bottle with little trouble. The carafe should be filled about a third full of water and packed in ice and salt, wrapped around with wet newspapers and then with dry ones, and the water will freeze in possible two hours. The carafe is filled with water just before it is taken to the table. Minced Clams. Twenty-five clams, two tablespoons butter, two tablespoons flour, one gill cream, salt and pepper. Melt the butter, add the flour, and mix until smooth. Then add the clams, chopped fine, with half a pint of their liquor. Cook fifteen minutes. Just before serving, add the cream and bring to a boil. Pineapple Ice. One quart of water, a pound and a quarter of sugar boiled and skimmed, and the juice of one lemon and a large, perfectly ripe pineapple, carefully peeled and shredded fine with a silver fork; freeze. Brief Hints. Kerosene oil is the easy zinc cleaner. Houseboats are the latest summer homes. Milk is a pleasant substitute for soap in dishwashing. Nothing brightens old brass and nickel better than strong ammonia. Clean eastern mattings and bamboo furniture with warm salt and water to prevent changing color. The banana is very good if peeled, split down the center and baked with a little butter and sugar. A little chloride of lime in water boiled for a few minutes in the enamled saucepan will remove many stains from the latter.

First Visit to Native Land Since She Left as a Bride Seven Years Ago. Consuelo, Duchess of Mariborough, for the first time since her marriage, seven years ago, has returned to the land of her birth. With her mother, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont; O. H. P. Belmont and Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., she was a passenger on a recent Western voyage of the Kronprinz Wilhelm. They had planned a joyous home coming, but the occasion was turned to one of sorrow when the news was received at quarantine of the tragic death of Mrs. A THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. Vanderbilt's brother, Charles L. Fair, which occurred several days after they sailed. In view of the death of Mr. Fair the plans of Mr. and Mrs. Belmont for the entertainment of the duchess were necessarily altered. The duchess is slender, and even more beautiful than when she left this country as a bride. In manner she is simple and unaffected, and none of the girlish charm which characterized her has departed. The passengers on the Kronprinz declared that she was both gracious and democratic. Many of the women present remarked on the beauty of the simple gown of the duchess. It was green crepe de chine over white taffeta. About her neck was a brown chenille boa, and her waist was encircled by a cream colored sash, which had brown polka dots. The hat was of straw, with trimmings of brown and white. Mr. and Mrs. Belmont and the duchess went at once to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, but left soon afterward for Newport. Imperative social engagements in England make it necessary for the duchess to return by the last of this month. She will be for at least three weeks in Newport and for a few days at Hampstead. Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs met her sister. Mrs. Vanderbilt, at the pier, where she had waited for more than an hour. She had sent aboard the steamer at quarantine a mourning gown, in which Mrs. Vanderbilt was attired when she disembarked. Mrs. Vanderbilt will be the guest of her sister. A Famous Photograph Among artist photographers the world over there is, perhaps, no better known picture than Sutcliffe's "Water Rats," which is, perhaps, more in evidence in West End picture shops than in the town of its origin. Frank M. Sutcliffe of Whitby, whose work this attractive picture is, though a man of extreme modesty and one with difficulty induced to speak of his own work, gave some amusing details some years since to an interviewer about the arranging and taking of the "Water Rats"—a study of a group of little naked lads larking near a boat on the river close to the old town of Whitby, which is seen finely subdued in the background of the picture. I give his version of the matter as well as I can from memory, though it must be nearly ten years since I heard it. Mr. Sutcliffe said he was arranging to expose a plate on a small group of nude boys near the aforementioned boat, when he was espied at a distance by another large contingent of bathing laddies, who, probably Pure Silk Wash Taffeta, in plain colors and fancy stripes and hemstitched effects, 3 and 4 inches wide, 25c values, Friday..... $1.50 Neckwear Women's Fine Silk Stocks, Silk and Chiffon Jabors, Lace Ties and Fichus, regular $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50 Neckwear—on Bargain Counter Friday, choice..... 50c Kid Glove Specials $1.00 Kid Gloves for 69c Women's 2-clasp Kid Gloves, in tans, modes, browns, grays, white and black, regular $1 values—Friday bargain 69c A Pair Women's Fine Real French Kid and Suede Gloves, in all colors and black, always sell for $1.50— Friday. 98c 60c Jamestown 75c Suitings for..... 38c $1.0) Serges, Armours, $1.25 Whipcords, Etamines, for..... 68c $1.25 BlackGoods $1.5) Plain and $1.75 Novelities... 88c from past experience in the art of posing as models to casual artists and photographers, foresaw possible baksheesh, and took the boat by storm—a merry shoal of shining human eels. Mr. Sutcliffe added that after he had posed and exposed he was besieged by a jostling, clambering mob, and he said that it was funny to see how, when he had given out his stock of pennies—with which, as one knowing the ways and expectancies of Whitby models, he had come well provided—how awkward and careful these trouser pocketless boys were in ttheir anxiety not to lose their precious coins. Mr. Sutcliffe's charming and unusual studio is a pleasure and a privilege to see, and should be the mecca of all ardent photographers who may be in the district at any time. His fine studies are worth preserving, both for their intrinsic value and for their great worth as examples to those amateur photographers who are striving to excel.—London Daily News. PROF. BELL'S AERIAL SHIP. Man Who Invented the Telephone Studies Aerial Navigation. Among the more serious students of aerial navigation, and there are a number of such in the scientific and engineering force of the government, much interest is felt in the experiments being conducted by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. Prof. Bell has a summer home in Canada, and while there he spends most of his time experimenting with aerial apparatus. Private advices to friends in Washington are to the effect that Prof. Bell is about to assemble the results of his extensive studies in a machine which will be on a scale to demonstrate the practicability of aerial flight for man. Prof. Bell's high standing in the scientific world, and his success in giving to the world one of the most valuable inventions of this century, insures his experiment a serious consideration. His very great wealth, moreover, enables him to take advantage of every aid that modern engineering can give. In matter of aerial dynamics Prof. Bell is a student of Prof. S. P. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian institute. Prof. Bell was one of the half dozen persons privileged to witness the flight of the Langley aerodrome in May, 1896, on the Potomac, a few miles below Washington. He was profoundly impressed by what he saw, and believes with Prof. Langley that the possibility of mechanical flight has already been demonstrated, and that it only remains now to bring to perfection the machine which Langley invented. It is understood that Prof. Bell has devoted himself to certain modifications of the supporting aeroplanes or wings, which were the features of Prof. Langley's machine. His changes are suggested by the "box kite" as distinguished from the old style of flat kite. One of the most serious difficulties encountered in the Langley machine was balancing it in the shifting currents of air. As the box kite arrangement of aeroplanes is more stable than the old single plane kite with its elaborate balancing "tail" and its quadruple "bellyband," so Prof. Bell figured that he could secure a greater relative degree of stability for his flying machine by an adaptation of that arrangement in place of the wings. A rough idea of the Bell machine may be had by conceiving a typical box kite, placed as in flight, the motor supported under the center of the parallelogram, while the native propellers work fore and aft. It is not known what motive power Prof. Bell proposes to use. Plea Worked Both Ways. The youthful attorney secured a verdict in favor of the Irishman charged with murder on the ground of temporary insanity. He did not meet his client again for several months, when the following remarks were exchanged between them: "Well, Pat, isn't it about time you gave me that extra $200?" "Faith, an' what two hoondred is thot?" "The two hundred you promised if I saved that worthless neck of yours." "Sure, an' did Oi promise that? Oi don't ramimber." "Why, Pat, you promised it to me." Pat scratched his head for a minute, and then with a smile outlawed the claim with the remark: "Oh, well, but ye know Oi was crazy thin."—Philadelphia Telegraph. --- COR. GRAND AVE.

MASHEK Former Milwaukee Clergyman Bestirs Himself to Lift a Church Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt, one time rector of St. John's Church in Milwaukee, now rector of the Church of the Epiphany, Brooklyn, through heroic effort succeeded in preventing the foreclosure of a mortgage covering his church last week, by turning over the amount due for interest, taxes, etc., just a few moments before the time specified. From now until January 1 Dean Babbitt will engage in an endeavor to raise $32,800 necessary to discharge the mortgage debt. For some reason the holders of the mortgage began to force payment of interest money overdue and on August 4 filed a summons in foreclosure, threatening to take charge of the church and oust the congregation if the money was not paid by 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon, August 25. Churchmen generally in Brooklyn became interested and donations were received from Jews and members of every Protestant denomination. The amount necessary, something more than $1300, was finally secured just a few moments before the expiration of the specified time. Beware of Impostors of different professions soliciting money in Wisconsin for purposes unknown to any person in that state and for use elsewhere. Driven out of other states they are overrunning this. We think it an imperative duty on us as being the only negro paper in the state, to protect its generous philanthropists. From now on, we shall warn the mayor and chief of police of every city in Wisconsin against such adventurers. Dean Babbitt now proposes to clean the entire indebtedness by January 1. He says he will secure a curate to take charge while he devotes his entire time to raising the $32,800 necessary. Of the amount $10,000 has been pledged conditioned upon the raising of the balance by the first of the year. Dean Babbitt proposes to hold a great service on New Year's day, when he expects to be able to burn the mortgage and with it the summons and notice in foreclosure proceedings. In 1889 Dean Richmond was rector of St. John's Church on Hanover street, where he officiated for about three years, finally accepting a call to the East. He has been pastor of the Church of the Epiphany for the past four years. Electric Fluid from the Atmosphere Prof. Clemente Figueras of the Canary islands claims to have succeeded in inventing a generator which can collect the electric fluid from the atmosphere, store it and apply it to an indefinite number of purposes. It is reported that he has constructed a rough apparatus by which he obtains a current of 550 volts, which he utilizes in lighting his house and driving a 20-horsenpower motor.

NORTHERN WISCONSIN RAIL ROAD LANDS Are increasing in value from year to year. 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. Was one of the first roads to penetrate the vast Northern Wisconsin Wilderness which stretches across the State from east to west. It, also, has developed from year to year and today offers the best of transportation facilities, enabling all to ship the products of that section to any market in the world.

MILWAUKEE, WIS. THE POP By Rev. S. Edward Young, D. D. For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.-Luke vii., 4-5. Shall you be people's favorite? Verily, when you become their lovers. Sweet boon, bestowed by public press, by quick pulse beat of our times, by all classes thinking for themselves, sweet boon to believe that, should we care deep down for fellow-beings, act our part exceeding well, to us will come a grateful recognition, earlier than the epitaph, dearer than sorrow after we are gone! Begin nearest you. Somewhere war's ravage tore a lad out of parents' arms. Dice-lot threw him a slave to our text's hero to carry his spear, burnish his helmet, tidy his tent, go petty errands. Sympathy for the little, lonesome fellow opened two hearts, the slave's, the master's, and Scripture says he called the boy his child. Sickness smote the lad, and lying fever-tossed he seemed to feel his mother's hand again. No, it was faithful like hers, though only the rough captain's, watching tenderly the motherless captive. Then through soldiers' quarters and city others, too, were tender. A fountain of good wishes went from his bosom every whither. Commotion outside. "The Nazarene! Nazarene!" cry populace astir. "I'll ask him to cure my darling!" exclaimed our soldier, bending over bedside; nor was there heathen or Hebrew, street waif or sauctuary elder who did not want to bear his message, Israelite rulers rushing, supplicating, in his behalf, eulogizing a Roman. The devil take your celebrities whose fame rings loudest farthest from home! What do wife, husband, children, brother, sister, domestics, employs, neighbors testify? Don't trouble yourself, teacher, to show diploma and directors' commendation and ancestral pedigree. Let your pupils, keenest, cruelest, kindest critics, bring verdict. Your blandishments of guests, oh, drawing room host, are given the lie or else eclipsed by witness of their underlings. The roofs of some families' servants' garrets are low enough to keep the whole household out of heaven. The man who says it might about as well first pack his baggage for leaving town; but to treat employed as Jesus would must end strikes and the everlastingly worse—getting servant question. Ideas of equality now pervade American common classes, and bright, ambitious men and women will not engage themselves to be put at society's very bottom; will rather work for less and harder elsewhere; hence the inevitable, a trifle higher rank for mill and kitchen toil or more anarchy and good-for-nothing cookery. Meanwhile the lowliest ought to do as Christ would in their places. Immortal praise to Robert E. Lee for offering seat to laboring woman on train near Richmond and refusing those offered him immediately by officers and privates, he protesting, "Gentlemen, if there was no seat for that tired woman, there can be none for me." Additional crown to Queen Victoria that she never discharged domestics for getting old, merely promoted them, as Miss Thornton, aged 82, invited guest in palace parlors at jubilee, served with refreshments, spectator of her majesty's triumphal departure, escort and return. Grandest panegyric on David Livingstone reckon fidelity of Susi and Chuma and those black men who would have known and despised his vices, fidelity that carved inscription on Myula tree where he died, buried his heart there, wrapped his body with calico, bark and canvas, and later, for disguise, mapira stalks; fidelity that suffered everything, risked everything from Africa's jungle to England's glorious abbey, conveying to its grave the dust so dearly cherished, and in proof that love, Redeemer-like love, never was wasted, never will be, never can be; royalty, nobility, statesmanship, science, a world's veneration, bedecked his bier with immortelles, while humorist saddened into threnody, wrote: He needs no epitaph to guard a name Which men shall praise while worthy work is known; He lived and died for love—be that his fame! Let marble crumble; this be his living —stone. Shall you be people's favorite? Verily, verily, when their lover and serving their highest interests. "He hath built us a synagogue." Look here, by Gennesaret's embayed shore, her pearl-white strand, I stumble across cornices elaborately carved, capitals wrought wondrously, niches and shattered arch—ruins of the house of God, this Roman captain built back yonder well-nigh nineteen centuries, Ah, me! And Jesus pretched therein! Hail, all hail, 10,000 benevolences gathered in one patriotism climaxed, epitomized! Who proceeds more philanthropically than the church builder, Sabbath school planter, Sabbath service supporter? Did not Napoleon foresee no government could endure without its citizenship betimes at worship, Napeleonic religious institutions reared accordingly? Mention any financial investment that, viewed from beyond the veil, will gratify you ceaselessly as dollars in hospital walls and cots, dollars in Bibles and Christly literature, strewn among mission stations, dollars in sanctuaries speaking God's loving kindness unto mankind after your voice is silent and your money grasping hand is ashes. How much sublimer that Capernaum synagogue looms up when you realize the donor's modesty? Approach the Lord—unfit the centurion saw himself—so signifies his Greek word hikanos; unfit he deemed himself in deepest soul—so signifies his Greek word exiosa. Sincere—no bid for halo. Directly people observe you boasting, like Nebuchadnezzar vaunting, "Is not this great Babylon that I have built?" they are quite willing to let you also go to grass. Criterion or honest self-examination, evidence the atmosphere of the Holiest surrounds us, it is as if we be smitten with self-disapproval, Job-like, meaning eye seeth thee. Enter dark room—air apparently clean, Turn shutter slat—through sunshine's path innumerable infinitesimal motes are wrestling. Once St. Paul shook hands with himself, remarking, "I suppose I was not one whit behind the very chiefest apostles." God turned his window slat, sent trials, victories, mightier baptism; then Paul wrote, "Unto me who am less than the least of all saints." Graduate him into sainthood and on edge of paradise he subscribes himself, "Sinners, of whom I am chief." Follow Caesar's march over western Europe, Pompey's around the Mediterranean, Crassus' into Parthia, by desolation inflicted. Follow our text's soldiers—and may yours thus be traced—by the mercies he bestowed, the flowers he set a-blooming, the good he sowed unto a harvest where the field is human lives, the seed is words and deeds, the garnering our epoch's end, the reapers angels. Descend a pit a mile of depth, next crawl a crevice hours below that, afterward cleave a crater of subgterranean volcano and beneath that inferno bury the Satanic suggestion that magnificent opportunities to serve fellow-mankind are past, none left for you in your humdrum existence, over-weighted with disadvantages. Genius to love and look for humanitarian roads eternity-long can blaze. "Your Chance" golden on doors all over our cities and country. Before you die and I die, for God's sake, for man's sake, let's do something to diminish our shame when we greet unknown captain from Galilee, greet Savonarola, Florentine community's benefactor, who wore the red hat of martyrdom into the celestial glory; Columbia, rescuer of Scots and Picts and Irish; Anschar, deliverer of Sweden from barbaric bondage; Luther and Lincoln, Whittier, the poet emancipator; Garrison, the journalist emancipator; Wendell Phillips, the orator emancipator; John Brown, the emancipator forcing the issue to crisis; Howard, prison purifier; Nightingale, sweet angel of the hospitals; Grace Darling, inspiration of life-savers; Horace Mann, benediction of the schools; Gough and Frances Willard, knightly defenders of our firesides against alcoholism's assaults. Shall you be people's favorite? Verily, verily, verily, when their lover, serving their highest interests and appropriating the Christ. Remember you Christ's pinnacling faith with this captain's? "I have not found so great faith; no, not in Israel." As the Magians ever studying stars tracked the meteor to Bethlehem; as the shepherds saw the bediamoned finger of the sky point down at Jesus' manger cradle; as Galilean fisher folk met the Master via boats and nets, each finding ing him along his line of work; thus the captain, accustomed to camp and commands and absolute obedience, conceived of Jesus generalissimo above the universe and disease and health and mortalkind all subject to his word. "I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers; and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh." Say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. No matter who, or where, or what you are, something akin to God still stays and sighs for him. Uncanny and yet enticing, sounds the sailors' legend, telling how off Brittany's coast, underneath the waves, an ancient village lies overwhelmed, its church spires standing, and ever and anon the mariner may hear bells ringing far down the water abyss. Oh! to strike a bell peal in your being's depths, the long-hidden sanctuary within calling you to better self, to best self's God. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring out the false, ring in the true, Ring in the valiant man and free, Ring in the Christ that is to be. A Perpetual Life.—We have not divined the whole Gospel when we point to the four Gospels and say, "It is all there." Only in a limited sense is that true, for the life they record is a perpetual life among men. There are volumes of it in the life of to-day that are not put into print and bound up in a book.—Rev. J. A. Rondthaler, Presbyterian, Indianapolis, Ind. Soul Cleansing.—The capitalist needs it that he may apply the Golden Rule so that he may allow to live as well as live. The employee needs it that he may be no longer an eye servant, but that body and soul will do their work. Preachers need it more than all others, that they have charity and common sense and be willing to follow the Master, doing all things with an eye single to his glory.—Rev. W. B. Leach, Methodist, Chicago, Ill. The Home.—That place on the earth which gives us our sweetest ideas of Heaven is a well-ordered, sweet, godly, righteous home. Such a home is what I term the American paradise. In the home centers all that is of choicea value to individuals, the family, the state. Here are the hallowed influences of all the family and of God, in the home is what it should be, for God loves to dwell in the homes of people. Rev. Dr. Pickard, Baptist, Cleveland, Ohio. God's Revelation.—God's revelation of his character in Jesus Christ was the word made flesh. God and man are revealed by God in man. Grandeur is carried up to service and sacrifice. Fear, conscience, beauty are born again for the race. Still, his own received him not. The Jew continued to say that God loves only the Jew. The ecclesiastic limited God's interest to the church. The people of the reformed faith declared God's interest confined to the elect. It is now pretty well understood that God loves us all. The race is redeemed.—Rev. A. B. Penniman, Congregationalist, Adams. Mass.

MUD BOUQUETS. How Flowers May be Arranged in Plates of Damp Earth. _This does not sound a very elegant title, but I assure you that the finest effects I have ever seen have been the result of flowers arranged in moist earth. The work is most pleasing, too, and invalids would find it a very health- ful way of disposing of some of those tedious hours which are sometimes ex- tremely wearying to the convalescent. Before you commence the earth used must be finely sifted, or, at least, freed from stones; then having provided your- self wich soup places or oval pickle dishes, fill them with the earth, press- ing it firmly with the hands and raising it in the center quite two inches higher than the sides. When it is molded to your fancy dip a brush into water, and very gently wet every part, but avoiding anything like sloppiness—a little experience will very soon teach you the exact consistency needed to support the stems of the flow- ers. You will find it a good plan to take a knife and press the earth back to within half an inch of the edge of the plate—this will prevent any uneven or slovenly appearance. Now commence your decorative work by arranging a border of leaves round the edge, as they do not wither quickly. Lay those on, horizontally, letting them overlap each other slightly, and make a hole for the stem with a a or knitting needle; the stems of all flowers and leaves should be about an inch long. Insert little sprays of delicate grass here and there among the leaves, using your taste and judgment as to the length of the grass—so as to impart a feathery ap- pearance—yet not making it topheavy. As to the flowers, novices had better content themselyes with one color at first; afterward combinations can be at- tempted. In any case small blossoms or those which can be pea to pieces are to be used. I saw the other day a very pretty arrangement made with the com. mon yet beautiful dandelion, the border being comnosed of brown foliage—cop- per. -beech, I think—and a few feathery grasses mixed with the blossoms. Nasturtiums give a very handsome ef- feet, especially if some of the — rich brown:red blossoms are mixed with the lighter shades. No specific rule can be given as to the arrangement of the blos- soms. Taste and experience will soon -enable you to produce beautiful ornaments for the drawing or dining room, and wild flowers, which, in my opinion, are ever more lovely than many of our ‘high. priced cultivated blooms, lend — theny selves charmingly to this style of table decoration.—_Scotsman. Curious South Afiican Product. Among its many curious products South Africa includes the “sneezewood" tree, which takes the name from the fact that one cannot cut it with a saw without sneezing, as the fine dust has exactly the effect of snuff. Even in planing the wood it will sometimes cause sneezing. No insect, worm or barnacle will touch it; it is very bitter to the taste, and when placed in water it will sink, The color is light brown and the grain very close and hard. For dock work, piers or jet- ties it is a useful timber, lasting a long while under water. ee —Tea pilis are now sold.

The Kikuyu country in East Africa is famous for having within its borders one of the greatest snow mountains of Af- rica, Mount Kenia, whose summit is al- ways white with snow, though it lies di- rectly under the ecuator. All travelers have been enthnsiastie over the beauty and fertility of this region of forest and plain that rises from a height of about 4000 feet to the summit of Kenia. more than 18,000 feet above the sea. In this land, exceedingly rich in agricultural pos- sibilities, it is said the white man can live and work as he does in Europe and very likely die of old age. It is prac- tically the only region yet studied in ‘tropical Africa of which it may be truth- fully asserted. Travelers, however, have given the in- habitants of these uplands an evil repu- tation: In other words, the Akikuyu are said to be suspicious, treacherous and hostile to all strangers. But the latest ‘testimony, coming from Maj. Richard ‘Crawshay of the British army, who has lived among these peopie for years, is to the effect that they ure the finest African people he ever met, and he has had long experience among many tribes in. British East Africa. It wili be interesting to read some things that Maj. Crawshay says about the country in which white men may live in good health and about the remarkable ratives who inhabit it. The first traveler to deseribe this re- gion was the late explorer, Joseph Tho:n- son, who wrote »s follows of the large area of Kikuyu lying between 6000 and 9000 feet above the sea, where it is said white maf live and work: “‘Drouglt is unkown and astionishing fertility is everywhere seen. Streams found in great numbers. Enormous quantities of sweet potatoes, yams, eas- sava, Sugar cane, millet, ete., are raised and the supply seems to be quite inex- haustible. On my return journey I found a caravan of over 1500 men who. re- mained « month and carried away little short of three months’ provisions, yet it did oa seem perceptibly to affect the supply or to raise the ridiculously low prices. Extremely fat sheep and goats abound and there are enttle in consider- able anumbers.”"—New Yerk Sun. Moonlight for Ripening Tomatoes.

Spark from Threshing Engine Starts Conflagration Which Causes Se- vere Loss to Farmer. Racine, Wis., Sept. 9.—[Special.]-Fire did $7000 damage on the farm of Henry Katterhagen, near Waterford, yesterday, barns, sheds and g.ain being consumed. The hands had just finished threshing oats, rye and wheat when a spark from the engine set fire to a strawstack. In a moment fifteen otLer stacks were ablaze and the flames spread rapidly to barns and sheds, all being destroyed within half an hour. The loss is purtially cov- ered by iusurance carried in one of the town insurance companies. Hundreds of ites were attracted to he scene and set to work yalliantly stve the homestead and the adjoinin, fields, where there were thousands of bushels of grain not cut. There are 230 aeres in the farm, of which Mr. Katter- hagen became owner only a short time ago. a LIVES WERE IN PERIL. Bolt Strikes Barn in Which Several Mea were Seeking Shelter from the Storm. Waukesha, Wis., Sept. 9.—[Special.] —During the thunderstorm which ‘swept over the county early last evening, hgin- ning struck the barn of Thomas J. Jones, a well-known farmer residing about half a mile west of the little village of Wales, and besides resulting iu the injury of three men who had taken shelter in the building, caused the total destruction of the barn, its contents aud a large grain stack near by. When the rain began to fall the section erew of the North-Western road, who were working in that vicinity, hastened to the building for refuge, finding already there for the sume purpose Mr. Jones, the owner, and Walter Bouchier of the firm of Steele & Bouchier of this civ who had been installing some machine.! in thet vicinity and was on his way nome. With him was a machinist who had been agsisting him. The party had been in the structure but a few moments when the bolt of lightning struck, and in an instant he barn was on fire and the hay in the loft was burning fiercely. Mr. Bouehier and his companion drove their horse from the building and then returned themselves, finding that three of the section crew had been stunned by the bolt and had to be carried bodily from the burning building. A horse which was tied in one of the stables was killed instantly. In the loft was nearly 100 tons of hay av? straw, and this fed the flames and mace, it absolutely useless to attempt to ex- tinguish them, The destruction of more than one pile of the grain outside was prevented by the active work of the men and neighbors, who scattered the blazing straw about in the rain, thus saving a dozen other piles, comprising the entire harvest of this year on Mr. Jones’ farm. One of the section men who was injured, and who resides at Sulli- van, was serionsly hurt and his recovery is not yet assured. The property loss to Mr. Jones will amount to about $2000, a third of it being covered by insurance. No loss from the storm in other parts of the country has been reported. Boy and Horse are silled.

Bayfield, Wis., Sept. 8.—[Special.J— Prof. George Coolie, at one time in the historical department of the state of Wisconsin and now professor in the Be- loit College, gives out somo startling in- formation regarding the Porenpine moun- tains and the hill immediately south of the state fish hatchery, three miles dis- tant from Bayfield. Mr. Coolie was up here a few years —- and spent the summer months on Madeline island. Rev. Charles Rogers of Mason City, La., who occupied the pul- pit in the Presbyterian Church here a short time ago, was spending his vaca- tion on the island at the time and on becoming acquainted with the gentleman in question was asked to accompany him to the hill south of the hatchery. He asked Mr. Coolie why he was desirous of going to this place. For answer the professor said: “Why, Mr. Rogers, don't you know that that hill over there and the Porcu- oe mountains are considered the oldest in the world?” Mr. Rogers acknowledged that up until now he had heard nothing of this and would now like to visit the historie spot. According to the Bible the Lord said: “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so, It is Mr. Coolie’s belief the Poreupine mountains and the Pike’s bay hill were the first to appear above water after the great deluge and are many millions of yeats old.

FARMERS CORNER For ordinary stones, says a Farm and Home correspondent, the frame should be built 18 inches wide, 30 inches high and 36 inches long. Make the ends of 3 by 8-inch stuff and the sides of 2 by 8 inch. Plane it up nicely, bolt it securely together and give it a good coat of paint. One can buy very good sets of grindstone irons now for 50 cents, including a mandrel roller, bearings and crank. I have one very serious objection to the common grindstone mandrel, and that is that the crank does not screw on, but has a square end, on which the crank does not fit, but flops about "any old way" and very often causes the one who is furnishing the power to bruise or skin his knuckle against the frame. The first thing I would do with such a mandrel, would be to take it to the nearest blacksmith shop, saw the square end off with a hack saw, run FRAME FOR GRINDSTONE. a drill through the square hole in the crank and make it round, run a tap through the crank and thread the end of the mandrel. By so doing you have a good, steady, easy-going crank, without any backlash. Fit a piece of wood in the square hole in the stone, find the exact center with your dividers; then bore a hole the size of the mandrel through the block. Use a piece of thick pasteboard on each side of the stone between the iron washer and the stone. Put the stone on the mandrel, observing to use the washers as above, and screw the nut up hard and fast. Mome-Made Milk-Cooler. Where one does not have sufficient milk to have an elaborate method of keeping it cool, or where such a plan is not warranted, a substitute may be found in the homemade cooler shown this week. Secure a strong box, large enough to hold three or four cans, and line it with zinc to make it water-tight. Have the box high enough so that the water may come to within six inches of the neck of the cans. A rack made of strong strips an inch thick and two inches wide (see Figure 3) is fitted in the bottom of the box, and another rack (see Figure 2) is fitted to the top of the box to prevent the cans from slipping over or upsetting when the box is full 2 3 HCME-MADE MILK COOLER. of water or when one or more cans are removed. The detail shown at Figure 2 shows how this top rack is braced at the corners.—Indianapolis News. Treatment of Celery. The first thing to do is to prevent rust and blight, which is readily done by spraying, and this should be done when the plants are not more than two or three inches high. Use bordeaux mixtures applied gently while the plants are small, and make a second application when the plants are six inches high; if a third application is needed, give it regardless of the size of the plants. After the care in spraying or rather along with it comes the cultivation and this, must be done, at least in part, by hand, for the weeds must be kept out of the rows at all cost. Blanching is next in order, and the board process is by far the best, for it enables the plants to get plenty of light, so as to keep up their growth. Place the boards close to the rows of plants holding them in place with stakes. After the plants grow above the height of the boards, bring the latter close together at the top, without bruising the plants, so that the space is dark and the plants will continue to grow. Raspberry and Blackberry. Upon the care given the plantations of raspberry and blackberry plants after fruiting largely depends the crops of the next season. Cultivation of the space between the rows and around the plants should be thorough so that the weeds may be kept in subjection and the moisture in the soil conserved that the canes may make all the growth possible. It is necessary to obtain strong, healthy and well ripened lateral growths during the growing season if the plants are to give a full crop the next season. By keeping up the cultivation the plant is kept growing and the foliage clings until cut off by the frosts in the fall; if cultivation is not done the plant, weakened perhaps by heavy fruiting, is likely to shed its leaves and the new growth of vine is subjected to the warm weather of the late summer. Broom Corn. Almost every family has one or more brooms in the house, and very few have any idea where the broom corn comes from, or how it came to be grown here. We may have told before, but it will bear to be repeated, that Benjamin Franklin picked the first seed that were ever planted here from an imported broom, and sent them to a lady friend to be planted. In 1899 the State of Illinois had 95,137 acres in broom corn, and produced 60,665,520 pounds, valued at $2,357,066 in the hands of the growers. Kansas had 34,383 acres, and the product was 11,813,310 pounds, worth $458,481. Oklahoma had 12,366 acres and a crop of 3,418,490 pounds, worth $129,813, and Missouri with 10,219 acres had 3,693,930 pounds, worth $159,990. It will be seen that the largest acreage does not always produce the largest crop or the most money. Texas had 3,743 acres and a crop of 1,638,150 pounds, worth $60,313; Arkansas 879 acres, producing 304,609, worth $12,558, and Indian Territory, 397 acres, with 147,020 pounds, worth $7,018. There are amounts grown in other States that bring the total crop up to 90,947,370 pounds in 1899, and that was thought a short year, though the yield was probably less in 1900. California, Iowa, Nebraska and Tennessee are among the other States producing broom corn. The value of the broom corn crop averages about $80 per ton, or $20 an acre. Low Farm Wagons. An enormous amount of force is wasted in loading material into high farm wagons. It is fortunate that this truth is being discovered and lower gears are put into use. This sketch shows a convenient low farm wagon, commodious and light, but strong enough to make loading a very easy matter. The long body has a truss under it to support the middle, the chain being attached well under the body at the front, to avoid the wheels in turning. Side and end pieces can be put upon such a body and a wagon box made if needed. Let the wheels be not only low, but let them have broad rims, so they will not cut into the land when HOME-MADE LOW-DOWN WAGON. hauling across the fields.—M. D. Emerson, in Farm and Home. Government Whitewash. The United States government uses a whitewash mainly on lighthouses, that is brilliant and durable. Considerable whitewash ought to be used on the farm. Poultry houses may be covered with it inside and out, and it may be used to advantage on fences. The recipe is as follows: Slake one-half bushel of quicklime with boiling water, covering it as soon as the water is applied. When slaked strain it and add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice that has previously been boiled in boiling water to a thin paste, half a pound of Spanish whiting and one pound of clean glue, which has been dissolved in warm water, mix well together and let stand for several days. The wash should be applied hot, using a brush or making it sufficiently thin so that it may be applied by a spraying pump. To Stop a Sucking Cow. To stop a sucking cow take a piece of half inch basswood six inches long and four inches wide and cut into the shape shown in picture. Put this in her nose. If she does not stop, put sharp nails in, as indicated by dots. If she is cute enough BEEF to milk herself ANTISUCKING BOARD. with the nails in, then put on a halter and a surcingle. Fasten a stiff hardwood stick on each side from halter to surcingle, placing the surcingle of course just back of the fore legs. If she is so determined to suck herself that she will throw herself with this harness, I should feed her abundantly upon fat forming foods and visit the butcher.—Rural New Yorker. Garden Hints. When getting the window boxes and garden urns ready use good, fresh soil. Nothing is gained, and much may be lost, by economizing in the matter of earth. If the violets and other spring and autumn bloomers show signs of mildew or mold because of too much rain, cut off close to the ground immediately. The plants will find it easier to make renewed growth than to recover from this creeping and insidious disease. After all, the scarlet geranium can scarcely be surpassed as a garden standard. It can be set out at any time and a number of good geraniums will yet save the summer's happiness for the flower lovers whose treasures have suffered from the unusual weather. Let them buy red geraniums and be comforted with vivid bloom. GLOSSINE The True Hair Grower and Hair Straightener IS FOUND AT LAST. Acts Quicker.
