April 12 Another well known young man here has passed away and the fact is being remarked that never before In the history of the village have so many deaths of prominent people occurred so close together, and especially of well known young people.

The latest case, in which a bright and promising career of worth and usefulness is cut short. Is that of J. Ed Bussey who last night succumbed to the ravages of relent- less quick consumption. Mr. llussey, who was 25 years of age and unmarried, was attending the Wesleyan university at Beaver Dam, fitting himself to enter tho Baptist ministry when his health gave way a few weeks ago and he was brought home to the care1 and careful nursing of family and kind friends.

All proved useless, however, and he rapidly declined and for the past two weeks dissolution was only a question of days. Mr. Bussey was known by all and highly esteemed for his upright life and evident honesty of purpose. During last summer he preached at Plalnfield Sundays, returning to his school during the rest of the week. He was a hard worker and a persistent and conscientious student, which probably had a great deal to do with his loss of health and comparatively early death.

The funeral will occur tomorrow. DIVES IX TDK SOUTH EHS PIXERIES. Condition of the Stockade Den Said to be Worse Than It. fore the Grand Cro-sade of a Few Year Ago lo Again Suppress Them. Houghton, April 12.

Officials of Houghton and Ontonagon counties are vigorously attempting to exterminate the dives in the lumber woods and small towns adjacent. Especial laws were enacted four years ago by Michigan and Wisconsin to extirpate the stockade dens, where women were kept prisoners by stockaded fences and fierce dogs. The evil has again grown to great proportions and requires vigorous measures to suppress it. Numerous dens at Sidnaw, Pori, Ketchtm and the little settlements In the pine country have recently been raided. If a tenth part of the stories told of these sinks of Iniquity are true the condition is as bad as five years ago throughout the lumbering dictrlcts of upper Wisconsin and Michigan.

Madison, April 12 On the brow of Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming rests the crest of woman suffrage and tonight in the assembly one last appeal will be made by the friends of equal suffrage for the passage of the joint resolution, which, if adopted, will place the women of Wisconsin on an equal footing with the women of her sister states, which have preceded her in this movement to grant to woman the right of the ballot. Theresolution which is to be debated tonight is the measure fathered by Assemblyman O'Neil of Bayfield, and the speakers In favor of the bill will be Assemblymen O'Neil, Lambersun and Rurdick.

In opposition to the bill Harry C. Sloan of West Superior will probably be one of the speakers. There is little likelihood that this measure will this year pass the legislature, but the experi ence of this year has paved the way for a. future legislature to give the ballot to the women of Wisconsin. For the first time since this agitation for woman suffrage has been begun in Wisconsin has a woman suffrage measure really been given careful attention by the legislators.

Hitherto is has been the subject rather of mirth, but this year the question has been examined with dignified attention and two years hence the preliminary step for the placing of the ballot in the hands of the women will probably, nay one can almost say undoubtedly, be passed by the leglsla-tuie. JO PURIFT MILWAUKEE. Ministers Walt on the Mayor and Demand Prompt Action. Milwaukee, April 12. As a result of the Rev.

W. J. Patton's slumming tour last Saturday night this city Is to experience a moral reform crusade. Yesterday afternoon a delegation of Methodist ministers. Including W.

J. Patton W. Hunsberger, Elder Creighton, E. L. Eaton and N.

T. Blakslee, called on Mayor Koch, to lay before him the necessity of doing something to remedy the social and gambling evils. The ministers and the mayor are reticent about the conference. It is understood the mayor was furnished with a list of the objectionable houses and was regaled with an account of the awful, doings In these resorts as witnessed by Mr. Patton.

The exact demands made on the mayor are not known, but it is understood they include a wholesale cleaning out of all houses of ill-repute and the closing all the gambling houses. If the mayor refuses to grant the demands of the ministers the latter will begin a crusade against the city administration. Next Monday the topic for discussion at the ministers' meeting will be "Municipal Misrule," at which time the Rev. Mr. Patton will tell what he has seen of misrule in this city.

BCXLET District Attorney Qoatermau at tha Invett-tt cat ton Held Yesterday Afternoon Decided That the ChargM Art 01 cleat for a Warrant Neenah. April 12.

The announce ment made In last evening's Northwesterr of the charges preferred by Jackson Tul-lar against 11. E. Huxley in the Investigation held In Justice Sherry's court, ha caused widespread talk. That Tullar am his supporters are in earnest in the mutter is evidenced by the number of nier sworn at the investigation who had traveled many miles with teams through muc in order to testify In the unpleasant affair, but which they think should be probed to the bottom. The taking of testimony was commenced at 11 o'clock and was continued during the afternoon.

Mr. Huxley was present, but said nothing. The sworn statements made by Henry Stroemlcr and Gus Dumdie were quite damaging, and District Attorney Quater-mass thought out of justice to Mr. Huxley and to the other parties concerned that it would be best to have a warrant Issued. By this means Mr.

Huxley will be given an opportunity to Introduce testimony In his own behalf and clear himself. If possible, from tho charges. The warrant will probably be served on him today and the case will be given Its hearing April 20. In substantiating the charges made by Jackson Tullar, Mr. Stroemier said: HE SAW IT DONE.

"I live In the town of Neenah and am ai voter. I voted the town ticket and Judicial ticket, and marked the latter. I went up to Huxley and gave him both tickets. He put the Judicial ticket in the box and the town ticket he held In his left hand. He had another ticket In his left hand.

One of these tickets was put into the box. Before 1 gave him either of my tickets 1 noticed he held one in the palm of his hand and when I gave him mine he shoved it back In his hand. Then he pulled out the ticket he held In his hand and changed It with the one I gave him, putting mine In his pants pocket. I voted the split Peoples' ticket and would know that ticket again if I should see It. I am sure that the ticket I gave Huxley did not go In the box.

I've seen htm change tickets before. I could Identify my ticket by the nine crosses I placed on It What is more I saw Huxley change Frank Schultz's ticket." Further along in his testimony Schultz denied the last statement made. Ncls Nelson refuted the statement sworn to by Stroemier, but Dumdle's evidence tended to show that an attempt had been made to change ballots. Mr. Tullar produced a paper yesterday with the Eignaturcs of sixty-four men who had signed a paper with the statement that they had voted for Tullar.

Only fifty-two votes, however, were received by him when the votes were counted. The termination of the affair appears to be fur in the distance and will probably be well aired In the courts, NEENAH NOTES. Miss Harriet James of Oshkosh and Miss Florence Buell of Chicago, are the guests of Miss Flora Lansing. At the Good F.iday union services held In the First M. E.

A. Cramer. TO PVR1FT KEESAB. Erengellst Ostrom Explains the Method of his Class of WTork, Neenah, April 12. The revival services now being held in this city are ii charge of a man who Is nearly If not quite as noted as B.

Fay Mills, the famous! evangelist. It Is said that Mr. Mills looks upon Mr. Ostrom as one of the most promising workers In the evangelistic field, and when the Cornell mission of Now York city endeavored to secure him to take charge of the "forward" movement ho recommended that Mr. Ostrom be secured in his stead.

In speaking of his experience in Gotham Mr. Ostrom says concerning the work being performed by Dr. Charles Parkhurst: "I believe that Dr. Charles Parkhurst Is a prophet, both in word and public action, and I don't know of any church which has a representative to compare with that Presbyterian. Of course ho Is greatly criticised In New York by a certain class of people, but the bravest missionaries will point to tha dives In Mulberry bend and say 'Dr.

Parkhurst closed and they will speak of the 300 white slaves In Chinatown and say, 'Wo arc expecting to get thoso girls out of, there since Dr. Parkhurst Is with us in our I would not take time to say whether I agree with his methods or not. What do I know about such an undertaking? He Is In the heat of that battle and I believe In his fidelity, and Mulberry bend looks greatly Improved since I visited the mission three years ago. The meeting at Cooper union In tho Inters est of opening saloons on Sunday took place while I was there and the celebrated Dr. Ralnsford and Dr.

Rilance were both reported as speaking In favor of the new departure. I asked the people In Metropolitan hall to advocate opening the churches Instead of opening the saloons, and told them that they used to say than the three It's were rending, 'rltlng and 'rithmetlc, but New York would undertake to change it if the danger signals were not heeded so that the three R's would be 'Ralneford, Rilance and But you know more than twenty Episcopalian clergymen met afterwards and solidly opposed the 'opening' plan. The people, took great Interest in the little Text-aDay calendar' there, and it is being quite widely used. I hope to have next year's edltlnn an Improvement upon this year's. Do Pere and Kan-kauna claim our time next, then we are wanted In Providence.

I an sure that this Is a great day In Christian work, and In many places the ciiuivii in doing grandly." Mr. ostrom thinks the "Metropolitan Forward Movement" the greatest single Christian undertaking he ever saw.

Madison, April 12. The new fish and game bill was on in the assembly as a special order at 11 o'clock. Mr. Tha-lacker of Oshkosh offered an amendment allowng gill net fishing In Lake Winnebago in justice to Winnebago fishermen. It was strongly opposed by Assemblymen Buckstaff and Billiard, and the amendment was lost.

Mr. Thalacker wanted to put the members on record by an aye and nay vote, but the call came too late as the vote had been announced. Numerous amendments were offered and several humorous petitions presented. The most Of the amendments were killed. An amendment was passed closing Fox river from Winnebago to Murphy's mill at Green Bay.

An amendment to allow the hunting of prairie chickens with dogs was killed. The killing of mink is allowed at all times. Among the amendments offered was one offered to the sucker section, allowing the killing of the present fish and game warden, "Dud" Fernandez, to be killed with impunity at any season of the year. The rules were then suspended and the bill as amended passed. The bills permitting rebates to ex-State Treasurers Baetz, Kuehn and McFetridge were made a special order for tonight.

NEW BOARD OF CONTROL. The new state board of control bill has passed both houses and will be signed at once. Assemblyman Hall opposed the bill In the assembly as wrong In principle, but it was of no avail. The committee on claims reported the general appropriation bill giving the state penal and charitable Institutions JTSU.UOO for the coming two years. IX THE SENATE.

In the senate Mr. Mills offered a resolution, which was adopted, to create a commission to revise the rules of the two houses and report to the next legislature. Senator Phelan also Introduced a bill to authorize a commission of five to revise the banking laws. The commissioners will get $10 a day. The vote killing the wlde-Eleigh bill was reconsidered and sent to the committee again.

Mr. Notbohm's bill relating to the commitment of dependent children, that has been the bone of contention between Catholics and Protestants, was laid over in the senate till evening when there will lie a fight on it. The bill authorizing the erection of a building for the state histor ical library on the university campus was referred to the judiciary committee to look up the constitutional question. LAST NIOHT'S SESSION. Madison, April 12.

The fight on the La Crosse Normal school bill was continued at the session of the assembly last evening upon a motion of Mr. Ray of La Crosse. Mr. Sloan spoke against the motion, stating that he had during the afternoon ascertained the real reason why the school was taken from Superior. In fact the Jfio.OOO voted by Superior had been used for other purposes and hence It was decided to remove the school from that city.

He asked that time be given for all to consider the matter, and he hoped that the bill, would not be passed under suspension of the trulesr a moved by Mr. Ray. Mr. De Qreff oT TSuffalO wanted the bill passed at once and it was read a third time and was passed by a vote of 55 to 20. The bill for the relief of ex-State Treasurers Baetz and Kucha was reported by the assembly judiciary committee for con currence, passed by a vote of 7 to 2 in the committee, Conway, Democrat, and if-ferman, Republican, dissenting from the report.

The, bill will undoubtedly pass the assembly as it has already passed the senate, and there seems to be no very derided opposition among the members. The senate bill on the calendar as a spe cial order related to the method of selling real estate owned by counties and proved of little Importance and the short debate was devoid of interest. It was referred to committee again. YET ANOTHER NORMAL. When the bill providing for the estab lishment of a Normal school at Superior came up, Mr.

Sloan arose and asked that this bill lie over until tomorrow as he wanted to consider a proposition made by the La Crosse men that they would support a bill' for a new Normal school at Superior if it could be established without too great cost to the state. This may possibly lead to the establishment of a Normal school at Superior after all. The most important bills killed last evening were those pending for the taxation of church property: amending the news paper libel law so as to allow newspapers to escape liability if the erroneous statement la retracted within three days; creating a criminal court for Manitowoc county and punishing bribery or an attempt to bribe a public officer, or an offer to accept a bribe by a tine of from $2oo to ll.ooo, or by imprisonment of from one to five years. The most important bills passed to a third reading were extending'clvll service rules to cities of the first and second classes. SOLDIERS' HOME SALOONS.

When the worthless substitute bill prohibiting the sale of liquor near the Soldiers' home at Milwaukee came up. Mr. Sttllman offered an amendment providing that all applications for licenses to sell liquors within two miles of such home shall be passed upon by a commission of three, composed of the sheriff, chief of police of the nearest city or marshal of the nearest village and the chairman of the county hoard; also that any one may file a complaint that any place Is disorderly and the commission shall then determine whether the saloon Is entitled to keep Its license or not. W. A.

Jones wanted to have the bill referred to committee again, hut objection was made. Mr. Jones then offered on amendment prohibiting the giving or selling of liquor to the inmates of any home for old soldiers at any place within two miles from the home. An attempt was made to defer action but the proposition was voted down. Mr.

Hnrdlck said the measure was not satisfactory as It was not perfect. Mr. O. R. Mahoney, who has been the mouthpiece of the brcweri on the floor of the house, said, with an air of defiance that "the amendment Just offered was not SHtlsfactory to us." But despite his threat the amendment was carried by a vote of El to 28.

The substitute as amended was passed to a third reading and O. It. Mahoney called for the ayes and noes on tho, vote to suspend the rules and put the bill upon Its final passage. This motion was lost, as the vote was 47 ayes and 32 noes and this did not give the necessary twa-thlrds majority. The bill was then advanced to a third reading.

It was 11 p. when an adjournment occurred. LAST NIGHT IN SENATE. Committee reports were the principal feature of the senate session last night. The judiciary committee made a long report showing: that It Is cleaning up Its business, as rapidly as possible.

Half a dozen unimportant bills were reporled for Indefinite postponement. A Hubstltutn was reported for the bill to provide clerksj of county courts. The bill to provide for the appointment of police matrons In certain cases wa reported for passage. The Joint committee on charitable and penul Institutions reported for passage a bill appropriating 125,000 to the Wisconsin Veterans' home. The appointment of W.

J. Btarr as a member of tho board of fish commissioners whs confirmed. A report from Governor t'pham stated that lie had Igned flfty-sevon senate bills. Assembly bills concurred In wore: Enlarging tho FREX1DEXT OF CUBA REPUBLIC. Elected at a Secret Convention and Pro claimed by Ih Revolutionists Bll Selection Causes Soma Dissatisfaction Details.

Appropriate Services at Many Churches Preparations for Easter Sunday, Good Friday services were generally held today in the Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran churches and in a number pas sion sermons will be preached and other exercises, especially commemorative of the time, wilL occur this evening. Ac cording to custom since time Immemorial the altars of the Catholic churches were stripped of their ornaments and veiled in black. The priests and attendants, robed In black In token of mourning, conducted the mass of the presanctified and recited the customary prayers with special sol emnity.

Due commemoration of the cruci fixion was also made by large numbers of Lutheran church followers according to the ritual. At Trinity Episcopal church the services on this occasion were un-tisually brief and unpretentious because, In part, of the illness of Rev. Mr. Green wood, the rector. The morning prayer service was well attended and was conducted with much profit.

The members and attendants of St. Paul and Grace Churches also gave the occasion fitting observance. The church organizations of the city are making preparations to give the glad resurrection season on Sunday hext a general and in many cases elaborate celebration. Tomorrow is what Is known In the church calendar of holidays as Holy Saturday. VELA YS OF THE LAW.

English Coroner's Jury tTnable to go on With Elbe Wreck Investigation. London, April 11. No date has yet been set by the Suffolk coroner for the resumption of the inquiry concerning the death of the passengers and crew of the steamer Elbe. The delay is due to the fact that the owners of the steamship Crathie which ran down the Elbe refused to allow their witnesses to appear before the cor oner on the ground that it would be prejudicial for the verdict of the English 1urv to be rendered before the action thought by the North German Lloyd com pany against them ttne owners oi rno Crathie) In the courts of Rotterdam has been tried and decided.

Wants the Conservative Elements of Both Old Parties to Unite in Reelectlog Cleveland for President to Defeat Free Silver Men. Washington, D. April 12. A letter from L. R.

Buchannan, general passenger agent of the Fremont, Elkhorn Missouri Valley railroad, is published here. He suggests that the eastern conservative elements of both parties unite with the south to renominate Mr. Cleveland for the presidency in opposition to the free silver men of the west. He believes this Is the only means to prevent throwing the next election for president into the house where the free-silverites will have a majority. DESERVES TO HAVE IT.

President Cleveland Wants a Rest Instead of a Third Term. Washington, D. April 12. To a caller who Intimated the probability of a fourth nomination for the presidency and a possible third term, Mr. Cleveland recently replied: "I don't want anything of that sort.

I am tired of public office. I want a chance to go to Europe and enjoy a lit- tie travel before I get too old to derive any pleasure from It. And there is another thing I want to do," added the president with so much enthusiasm that there could be no doubt of his sincerity, "I want to go a-fishing." TO SUCCEED THCRSTOX. Hawaii May Send F. M.

Hatrh, Minister ot Foreign Affairs. San Francisco, April 12. The latest advices from Hawaii received by the steamer Alameda "tell of general interest taken there in the recent recall of Minister Thurston at the instance of Secretary Gresham. The Inside details are as yet an official secret, but the peculiar fact is stated that, several weeks before the event actually took place the royalists at Honolulu openly asserted that Minister Thurston would soon be given his passports, thereby showing that they were well informed in advance of the trend of matters at Washington. However, President Dole is determined to give the Cleveland administration no chance to claim that he or his associates have acted in an undiplomatic, manner.

They will act so as again to appeal to the American people, if necessary, against the cowardly policy of Cleveland and Gresham. If another representative is sent to Washington it will probably be F. M. Hatch, present minister of foreign affairs. Mr.

Hatch may refuse to abandon his large law practice. In which case Mr. Thurston will be appointed attorney general, and the present Incumbent, W. O. Smith, will be sent as minister to Washington, D.

C. Mr. Hatch is the ablest man In the present government, and if he Is apolnted as Thurston's successor Mr. Gresham will soon find that he has effected a bad change. Mr.

Hatch has drafted all the documents which have worried Minister Willis and balked Mr. Gresham's schemes. He is cunning and diplomatic and his hand will certainly be felt at the next session of congress should he be made Hawaiian minister. A ARROW ESCAPE.
