Bergh, "namely an increase of in loans and discounts, of in the capital, surplus and profits; of $0,122,490.59 in deposits, and of in total resources. There is. however, a noticeable decrease in cash resources, indicating unmistakably a stringency in the money market at the time the reports were rendered.

Headquarters from wbkh the campaign of Judge Emil Baensch will be directed will be established at Madison, taid I'hilip Spoo-ner. who has been selected a manager of the Baensch forces, while in the city yesterday. I do not know whether or not headquarters will he opened in Milwaukee, but it is more than likely that this will lc left in the hands of the local Republicans.

When Mr. Spooner was questioned as to the time when the address in behalf of Judge Baensch would be made public to the voters of Wisconsin, he said that he could not state definitely, but that it would be given to the press in the course of a few days. Although he refused to diacu the imjsirt of the address it is learned that it is based upon a strong plea for party harmony and cites the fact that the party ran best le united 1y accepting the leadership of a Republican other than Uov. La Fol ic! te. The address, it is claimed.

alo reviews political affairs in Wisconsin, and shows the necessity of harmonious action on account of the dangers attending a party defeat in a presidential election yes r. It is stated that those interested in the candidacy of Hon. S. A. Cook have been carefully canvassing the field with a view of selecting headquarters and also secure the proper committee to put in charge.

Until the proper committee is selected it is doubtful if sir. Cook will open headquarters, and will conduct his campaign from his Neenah home. As soon as the committee is selected, headquarters may be established in Oshkosh and also in Milwaukee. OBITUARY. Davis.

The little one was picked up in an unconscious condition and a wound was observed on its head. As soon as ble Dr. Simms was summoned and upon making an examination found that the skull was somewhat crushed.

WAS IN IROQUOIS FIRE With That Plea William Bowers Worked the Good People ot Barl.nrton. William Bowers, evidently a professional beggar and tramp, was brought in from the town of Burlingtou last night and lodged in jail, having been sent up by Justice Henry Madigan for a term ot thirty days, on charge of vagrancy. Several days ago Bower appeared in the village and told residents, merchants and others a pitiful and at the saute time a harrowing tale of how he was in the terrible holocaust at the Iroquois theater at Chicago and escaped with his life, but completely (dripped of elothing and everything he had. The unsuspecting people of Turlington at first believed the story and Bowers received money, food and clothing, in fact there was nothing too good for him, but he worked the trick too hard, was suspected of being a fraud, was arrested, admitted he was telling a story and that he had not been in Chicago for seven years. Then he was charged with vagrancy and given thirty days in jail.

RACINE MAN HOME AND WELL Eugene Jones, after an absence of six weeks, returned to the city from Chicago last evening. When Mr. Jones went away it was reported that he was missing and fear entertained that be had been killed, etc. Then he was heard from at La Crosse. Later it was said he was lost at the Iroquois fire at Chicago.

While he was in that house when it caught fire he managed to escape into the street, unharmed. The scenes he states, that were witnessed in that place would be hard to describe. Mr. Jones is feeling well and intends to remain in Racine in the future. The increase in the cost of living since 1808 is put at 1U per cent by the Chicago Employers' association.
