8, 1OT. German day was celebrated at Madison Thursday. Clark Walker, a pioneer resident of Mar- kesan, Is dead. Today twenty-sixth anniversary of the great Peshtigo Are. Adolph Knudson, a farmer, near La Crosse, was killed in a runaway accident Thursday.

During a class rush at Madison, Thurs day evening, eleven students were ducked Lake Mendota. Martha Zenk, aged 11, received probably fatal Injuries by being run over by a de livery wagon at Manitowoc. Jrtn Burry, a factory employe at Manitowoc, was fatally injured by falling from an upper to the floor below. While chewing gum, Earle Tredway of Beiolt got an Inch silver In his worked through and came out on outside. Two small children named Sedo, living at Black Creek, Outagamie county, died from the effects of eating poisonous berries.

At Chilton, Thursday, Judge Burnett sentenced Henry Tousey to five years In state prison for an attempted assault on Louise Jordan last August. At Waupaca Thursday, Miss Mary. A. Baldwin, a prominent young woman of that city, was married 'to William I. Prince, mayor of Ironwood, Mich.

The Moody Bible society of Chicago Is planning to send several student to work among the lumber camps io the northern part of the state. Charles Schults, a well-known farmer of Kekoskee, attended the fair at Mayvllle and during the evening fell over a railing into a cellar and broke his neck. Samuel A. Bell, teller of a bank at Green Bay, and Miss Emelioe Whitney, member of one of the oldest families of that city, were married Wednesday. A Jefferson Jury awarded Mrs.

Welhel-mioa Rabenhorst $2,000 damages from Bruno Schatz for being bitten by a dog belonging to the latter about a year ago. The Ann Arbor car ferries will run across Green bay again this winter as long as possible. Last winter the heavy wlnrows of Ice nearly blocked the steamers for a few weeks. Louis Fuller, a freight brakeman on the Bl. Paul road, had his right leg severed Just below the hip by failing under the cars near Iron Ridge, Thursday.

He Is twenty-six years of age and lives at Win-neconne. W. W. Heafford, a well-known Tallroad man with headquarters at Milwaukee and a brother of General Passenger Agent Geo. H.

Heafford of the St. Paul road, died very suddenly Thursday of heart disease aged forty-eight years. iFire has been burning for several days 'n a 4W acre swamp near AVest Bend and there is no telling when it will be stopped. About eighty acres have already been burned over and a dense volume of smoke hangs over the surrounding country. John Keenan, a young business man at Brllllon, started out a week ago on a collecting tour and was traced to Manitowoc, where he disappeared on Tuesday.

He has a wife and two children at Brfilion, and they fear he has met with foul play. The Goethe saloon, Just outside the city limks of Green Bay, was destroyed by fire Thursday, 'i-ds was the saloon for the breaking Into of which eight Indiana were condemned to do penance in state prison. 1111am Goethe, the saloonkeeper, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of selling liq uor to Indians and will be tried at the January term of federal court in Milwaukee. A discovery that will prove of great interest to the Episcopal church In this country has been made by iBlshop Nicholson of Milwaukee.

Iletter Than Klondike. Miller, a successful fruit pa ier of Berkeley county, W. fur nishes an object lesson far more at tractive and encouraging than even the hishlv colored reports from the far-dis tant Klondike gold region. He has just nf his nrmle cron to an enter Tbe Gremt Advantage and Influence of Them In the Country. In this age of cheap application of electrical science to human need one Is not surprised at the rapid extension of telephonic communication In the smaller towns and even villages of the country.

Nor can we really affect surprise when we learn that the boon of cheap tele phone exchanges is in a fair way of being extended in the purely rural districts. We are already informed that In central Kansas there are a number of ranches connected by telephone with one another, enabling the owners and their families to enjoy intimate communication for both social and business purposes. The Kansas plan Is to utilize the little railroad station in the vicinity of a farming district as the "central" office and to connect the various farm houses by cheap wiring, In many cases the barb wire fences being used for this purpose. 'mere is no insulation, the only care taken being to see that there are no broken fences and to carry the wires across the roads by means of high poles, connecting again on the other side with tha fence wires. The only real expense Is the telephone Instrument In each house, the cost of which is said to average $6.

A plan somewhat similar to the one described has been experimented with on some of the larger Nebraska ranches, and we are informed that wher ever tried th success is so marked as to guarantee a rapid extension of the sys tem through the rural districts. There Is no mention as yet of any action by the large telephone trusts In regard to pat ent infringements by the farmers, and probably such action, If taken, may be successfully resisted by one or more of tha independent companies. Why should the average farmer or his family be cut oft from Intercourse with neighbors or adjoining municipalities? It is probably a question of time when the farmers will have the benefit of free postal delivery, at least in the older set- tied neighborhoods, and It Is but a step along the line of progress to telephonic communication at very slight expense to each rural subscriber. The saving of time and horseflesh, to say nothing of the increased facilities for business transactions, resulting from the intro duction of farm telephones, renders It extremely probable that when once proved successful they will be extended as paying Investments. For the female members of the aver age rural household no words are too strong to picture the altered conditions of life that will ensue from the intro duction of the telephone.

Isolation is pronounced by all sociologists the greatest bane of farming life and is probably responsible for more dwarfed woman hood than any other single cause. The telephone, for social reasons alone, will prove Itself a benefactor to rural com munities by exchanging for monotony and isolation the benefits which are already considered Indispensable to urban dwellers. Exchange. THE TELEPHONE MANIA. Disease From Which Friends or Those Afflicted Suffer.

The telephone mania Is among the lat est negative results of modern Inven tions, and dread to their fellow citizens although they themselves requemly live in blissful Ignorance of their affliction, The telephone maniacs are usually men of leisure, who have small appreciation of the value of time, and the more leisure they have the less hope there is for them so far as cure is concerned. Occasionally one may see a busy telephone maniac, but the Instances are rare, and in those cases the malady Is not fully developed, and the chances for ultimate recovery are many. Among women there seem to be few real cases. An unmlstakeable symptom of the disease is a desire to talk to people at distant points about all sorts of things at ail hours of the day or night. "I am ihe prey of several of those In curable maniacs, said a busy, man, whose office is visited by hundreds ot people daily, "and at timeB they make life a burden, but I see no way to cure them or to escape their tortures.

One of them calls me up at my home just about breakfast time about three mom Ings every week and asks me such im portant questions as "Wasn't It a fine day or 'Did you ever see such disagreeable weather as we are or 'Do you think this will be a good day for or 'Will you go downtown or 'How did you like the play last When he wants to give an air of business to his talk he asks my opinion about the stock mar- directors' meeting which he knows I would not miss If I had to go without my dinner. All the time my coffee Is get. ting cold, my family grows Impatient and my temper is ready to assert itselt. When I reach my office an hour or two later tha boy tells me that several persons have called me on the telephone. and I know by the names what their messages would have been and what they will be when they call again." The experience of -this busy man Is like that of hundreds, and to avoid the sense less chatter and constant "helloing" of the maniacs many busy men keep their names out of the telephone directory and refuse to answer calls when their num bers become known.

The worst feature about the disease is that those who have it never realize that they are making themselves obnoxious, and regardless of the hour or the pressure of bus.ness, they insist on telling long stories over the wire. New york Tribune. Vegetation tu Coastal Alaska. The wilderness presses close up to the town, and ft is wonderfully ncn ana luxuriant. The forests almost rival those of Puget sound; wild roses are three Inches In diameter, and ferns ten feet high.

And strange to say, all this ex uberant vegetation is growing on moraine material that has been scarcely moved or modified in any way by post glacial agents. Bounded masses of hard, resisting rocks rise everywhere along the shore and in the woods, their scored and polished surfaces still unwasted, telling of a time, so lately gone, When the whole region lay in darkness beneath an all embracing mantle of ice. Even in the streets of the town glaciated bosses are exposed, the telling inscriptions of which have not been effaced by the wear ot Pithpr weather or travel. And in the orchards fruitful boughs shade the edg. es of glacial pavement, and drop apples a nrl noahig nn thpm Nowhere, as far as I have seen, are the beneficent m- fluences of glaciers made manifest in plainer terms or with more striking con- trasts.

GUITEAU'S PISTOL FOUSD. Weapon With Which Garfield Was Slain Filially lterovered. Washlngton.D. C. Oct.

It Is an ordinary British bulldog revolver of 44-calIber and of cheap make. the handle being set wibh pieces of wood instead of bone or Ivory- Property Clerk Sylvester said that It had been obtained from a citizen who had had It In his possession for a number of years. The pistol was taken from police headquarters July 2, 1SS1, the day President Garfield was shot, by Col.

George B. Corkhlil, bhen district attorney. Subse quently It disappeared mysteriously and trace of It was obtained only recently. In two members of the executive committee had resigned, refusing to submit to Croker's dictation in political affairs.

A Washington dispatch says that Min ister Woodford at Madrid narrowly escaped a reprimand from the state de partment for his unprecedented delay in officially Informing this government of the condition of the cabinet crisis In Spain. It was one whole week after the crisis was precipitated, during which the newspapers all over t'he world were excitedly discussing the situation toi Spain, before Minister Woodford sent a word to the Btate department regarding the occurrences of so much interest and Im portance to this country, and it was not until twenty-fours after the newspaper publications of the appointment of Sefior Sagasta as premier that Minister Wood ford sent his first cablegram of Informa tion. In the meantime the president and cabinet were Impatient and annoyed at t)he unaccountable silence of the minister and a reprimand had been drawn up and was about to be sent when the briefest sort of a dispatch was received from him, merely stating that Sagasta had been selected to form a new ministry. Minister Woodford would hardly do for a newspaper man who has a horror of "scoops." The statistical reports of our foreign commerce are very encouraging. The figures for August of this year show the largest exports of domestic merchandise of any August in t'he history of the government.

How does this compare with the howl of the low tariff people that the Dingley tariff law would cut our foreign export trade in two? That Chinese wall does not seem to prevent exports, although It may discourage Imports of foreign goods that we can just as well manufacture at home. The exports for August were $79,400,000 against $66,689,000 for August of 1806, when that great commerce breeding Wilson tariff law was in Its prime. The value of Imports for August dutiable and free, was $39,848,000, which was ten millions below tihose of August, 1806. The balance of trade with Europe In August alone was In our favor to the extent of $40,400,000. How Is this for one feature of McKlnley prosperity? More hazing has been going on at the state university.

The freshmen and sophomores have toad what tihe account terms "a little friendly scrimmage." But it seems that this little "friendly scrimmage" resulted In several being ducked in the cold waters of Lake Men-dota. Now a ducking In the lake is not very pleasant experience at this season of the year, and Is liable to be fraught with more or less danger to health. Whether pleasant or unpleasant it is a species of hazing that the authorities ought not to allow with Impunity. But the usual Madisonian softness when speaking of Incidents of this character permeates the account of this ducking of freshmen In Lake Mendota. The dispatch mildly says that these victims, "through strong inducements, ruffled the calm surface of Lake Men dota." This probably regarded as the polite way of putting It In order to take the chill off.

rresldent Heg of the state board of control denies the charge of The Milwaukee News and The JournaJ that Mrs. Telim of Marinette was appointed ma tron at the reform school at Waukesha upon the special request of the governor, necessitating thereby the removal of a competent person who had been serving In that position. Mr. Heg says Mrs. Tellm was highly endorsed by some of the best people of Marinette and that the governor was consulted only upon the reliability of the endorsers signing her petition, as he was better acquainted in Marinette than tihe members ot the board.

Some women in New York propose to organize a peculiar reform. They Intend to establish a "bureau of heredity," the object of which Is to prevent an Increase of t'he Inhabitants among the vicious classes.

In Manchuria and all that part of Chi na adjoining Mongolia there are thou sands of farms devoted exclusively to dog raising. At each of these establish merits several hundred dogs are kept, which are killed by strangulation when thoy are eight months old, usually toward the middle of winter. At this time their skin is covered with very fine hair, and from these skins are made winter clothes for the Inhabitants of the celes tial empire. The dogs furnishing these skins are entirely different from the breed of dogs known here on In Europe, and their fur is said to so long haired and close on account of the extreme cold of that region. These fur dogs const! tute the only wealth of this desolate re gion, and the only dowry given to the daughters of these farmers consists of number of dogs.

The value of a dog is about 50 cents, and, as it takes eight fur dogs to make a coat, such an article is rather expensive. Traffic In dog skins is centered in large cities like Moukden and Foo Chow, where they are tanned. At the first named place the amount of dog skins handled last year 000. London Times.

The most common and easily recog nized of all the mushrooms Is the common commercial one found at the first-class grocery for sale. Just why this has been selected from among the many other kinds and declared as good while all the rest are condemned Is not known, but It is certain that such is the case.

This Is found at almost any season of the year, more abundantly in the spring and fall, but in deep woods even the middle of summer will give a basket full. It is not necessary to go to the grocery and give sixty cents a pound for this daalnty. An excursion to the woods at the end of the trolley lines, which now In every city of Importance stretch their antennae to the country places far and wide, will give a delight ful outing and at the same time fur nish the material for tihe next day's dinner. As to the location ot our most sought- for mushrooms, it grows everywhere, It is not particular and one will find it in the open fields. In half open places and In the thick woods.

It varies in size from two Inches to five across t'he top or cap as the parasol-like upper part Is called. It also varies in color from a White to a grayish white or In some cases a little tinged with brown. When It first comes up It looks like a ball, for over It is spread a thin membrane to protect the young plant and which breaks as the plant expands, the re mains being seen on the stem in the form of an Irregular ring. This mem brane is called the veil and covers the gills in their first stage of growth. The gills are the folds or plates that lie underneath the pileus as the cap Is called, and they resemble the leaves of a book or accordion plaiting.

They are at first a delicate Shade of pink, deepening in age and passing through all the darker shades till they are a dark maroon color. The mushroom Is in height from three to four and sometimes five inches. It Is at its best when the cap Is fuliy expand ed and before the gills begin to assume the darker tints. To cook them they should be washed, peeled and the stems removed. Although they lend themselves to almost any preparation often the mushroom flavor is destroyed by spices and frying In butter and strewing with bread crumbs or stewing In a little cream will glye a delicious dish.

There is another variety of mush room which Is quite as common as the commercial mushroom and which instead of seeking woods as Its habitant Is so social as to be seldom found away from the home of man. It Is gregarious and wants Ae society of people and, like a vegetable tramp. Is found where prosperity is seen. It locates Itself on well-kept lawns. The college campus of a noted Institution has furnished enough for the students to study about, but to my surprise they never told them that it could be eaten.

The city parks are favorite abiding places for It and not being particular as to its location I (have known it to come up near tne woodpile year after year. The front yrad is Its home, a stone quary a home stead claim for It. It asks no one per mission and with the temerity and fear lessness shown by other tramps li settles Itself where it seems good in its own sight. It has been known to sta tion itself on a tennis court and to come up all over It so persistently as to utterly rout the players, who, morning after morning, aw the conspicuous mounas in Irregular patches all over it, and were powerless to prevent tne invasion. Crushing them one morning did no good, for they were reinforced by the next and at last the court was given over to the invader, and it furnished many de tectable meab to tihe neighboring fami lies.

This variety has as startling names as do many oi me cians mi uaia their neighbors, in Crockett novels, and one that seems to Indicate a perni cious quality Is tihe ink cap. This cog nomen, however, merely indicates a stage ot Its existence and -The latter stage at that.

Bryan Inconsistencies are again being disclosed In the municipal campaign in Greater New York. The Tammany con ventlon adopted a platform wihich did not mention the name of Bryan or free ftilver. The Tammanyites concluded that It was not policy to Introduce Bryan-Ism and free silver into the campaign. They wanted to straddle the question by keeping silent upon It in hopes of catch ing votes from the gold Democrats as well as the free silver Democrats.

Henry George came out openly in favor of free silver and the Chicago platform, hut an nouneed that he would withdraw if Tammany would put free silver and Tlryan-Ism In Its platform. Tammany declined to do this and Henry George keeps in the race. Now it Is announced that William J. Bryan will write a letter en dorsing the Tamamny ticket as the reg ular Simon pure Bryan Democracy. This Is to be done in hopes ot drawing votes away from Henry George, wtho was the only candidate who accepted the nomi nation on a Bryan and free pilver plat form, and did so from principle and for principle alone.

Such a snub for the only candidate who stood by Bryan, and such an indorsement ot a ticket and faction which refused to recognize him In Its platform, shows up the Bryan characteristics pretty clearly. It show that there Is no consistency In him and that his only object regardless ot ail considerations of principle is io win. On the other hand Henry George is a man ol principle. He never sacrifices his principles for temporary expediencies. In a public interview he plainly states his position based on tihose principles he has always advocated, and says his expres-slcn of views will be the same as they have been in the past; that he 'has nothing to conceal and nothing to add to or substract from his strict line of principles theretofore adhered to.

There is something open, frank and consistent about Henry George that commands ad. miratlop of tha man, however we may differ from him In opinions. One always knows exactly where to find him, and there Is nothing about him suggestive of trimming (or political purposes. Letter From Tom Moore.
