Whatever may be the political or social value of the ideas he put into his books, he put them forth in such dress and order that they made many thousands of readers his obliged and appreciative friends.

If every prophet had been as good a storyteller as he is, that tradition about a prophet's standing in his own country would never have won its vogue. Harper's Weekly. CATHOLIC CONVENTION. into unnecessary detail I may mention that we have found clay to be excellent for removing grease from tin dishes in the absence of hot water and soap, and a newspaper for a dish -towel has the advantage of requiring no washing. And so the days go, being pretty thoroughly occupied from reveille at 5:30 a.

m. to 10 p. m. with drill, parades, policing camp, standing guard, keeping arms, accoutrements and persons clean, with a suitable seasoning of jokes and pranks. We are growing tough and hearty under this regime, and the only clouds on our horizon are the coming medical inspection which we apprehend will cut short the soldier ambition of a few, and the fear that about one more victory like that of Admiral Dewey at Manila will knock the props out from under the Spanish end of the war so thoroughly that we land-fighters will all lose our jobs.

All the Appleton officers in the regiment, including Major Morgan and Captain (Adjutant) Green are well. Col. Worthie H. Patton, a former Appleton man, is assistant adjutant-general at brigade headquarters, and has the same warm spot in his heart for the Second Begiment and Co. as when he was colonel of the Second.

He is in good health and is always the same good-natured Worthie Patton as of old. The boys have not yet done talking of the magnificent send-off given them by the people of Appleton, and if they are lucky enough to get to the front will try to prove themselves worthy of the many kind things done for them by the people of our home city. As one of men expressed it: "It's worth going to war to know you have so many friends at home." The boys were for a moment indignant at the silly "joke" aimed at by the poster in the armory window announcing that our captain and 30 men had been rejected at the examination, but they have encountered a good deal of SEAGOING BATTLESHIP IOWA. The Iowa is the navy's most formidable battleship. Her statistics are Displacement, 11,410 tons; speed, 16 knots; horsepower, cost, $8,010,000: armament, four 12 inch, eight 8 inch, six 4 inch guns and 28 guns of smaller caliber.

Co. i. 2. 1898.) Beoond wis. Camp Habvet, May 2, To the Editor: The boys of Co.

have been nearly 5 days in camp. Five dreary, sloppy days they have been as to weather, but spirits of the boys-have not been 'dampened by rain or mud or primitive conditions of living. There is a good 'deal of good natured fun in the camp between intervals of work, and Co. seems to get its full share of it. The behavior of.

the boys under trying circumstances has been splendid, and their health, too, is good not a man having been in the hospital yet. The first night in camp, last Thursday, gave the Appleton company a taste of real soldier life and they rose to the occasion gloriously. At about 4 o'clock we were marched into a cattle barn, excellently arranged for letting in fresh air but poorly barricaded against cold. The boys got quickly to work and fitted up the stalls as bedrooms holding four each. The ingenuity displaced in arranging these boudoirs was amazing, some of the supposedly greenest men as to camping arrangements coming out strongest in contriving conveniences.

The stalls were filled with straw obtained I regret to say by an impromptu raid on a big. load designed for some other place, but unfortunate enough to drive by our barn at a time when we needed bedding. On a thick bedding of straw the boys spread their blankets, and turning in with all their clothes, overcoats and hats on, tried to sleep. Tried, I say, because the night was so cold and blankets so scarce, that our sleeping the first night was mostly a bluff. Still nobody complained, but made our surroundings and discomforts the subject of many a merry jest.

In the interval between the "call to quarters" and "taps," the boys lay and shivered while they discussed the various breeds of cattle they represented. Then they "counted fours" industriously and Tociferously, and later sang very badly and very many times a little ditty com posed by a company bard something after this style: "Hurrah, hurrah, we bring the jubilee Hurrah, hurrah, poor Cuba shall be free Old Weyler'll go to 1 in haste if he meets old Co. While we are marching through Cuba," These amusements while affording excellent exercise for the vocal organs not productive of much warmth, so after the last wailing notes of "taps" died away and silence became compulsory, the boys lay down and shivered in silence nobody caring to be the first to peep. But we now have plenty of blankets, and other inconveniences are being remedied rapidly. The boys are settling into the harness and the steady drills and duty are hardening their muscles and training them down "as fit as a fiddle." The appetites, too, are something to strike terror to the heart of the average cook, but Willard Abbott, who has been detailed as company cook, never flinches before the fierce charge which the line of warriors makes on his cook shanty, three times a day.

The march for rations is a sight to remember, the company falls in and marches in double rank past the cook shanty. Each man is armed with a tin plate, a tin cup and a knife and fork. While waiting in line for their turn at the "paying teller's window," the Jxys in line, olank their cups and plates together loudly, the the result being a sound like a regiment of cows with bells being driven briskly through a country lane. This exercise is in line with the pleasing fiction originated by the fact that we are quartered in cattle stables. The rations issued consist of meat, potatoes, beans, or tomatoes by turns, bread, butter (most always) and coffee.

The food is not so daintily served as at the good old Brigga house in Appleton, but it's good and there's enough of it (again almost always). Camp appetites are great things and give a won- derful relish to plain food. After the meal is eaten standing around a long high table or squatting in our stalls, an interval of dish-washing is indulged in. Our methods are somewhat primitive but efxecti re.

One, of his hands was tied up. On approaching a person he would hand them a paper purporting to come from Dr. William Davis, of Hope hospital, Milwaukee, which went on to say that the man had lost one hand and that he had just been discharged from the hospital after a stay of several weeks. Below the statement were the names of a number of people who had contributed from twenty-five cents to one dollar. The man claimed his name was William 'Horn.

On his previous visit to Ormsby hall he always managed to pick up a number of articles that were never missed until he had taken his departure. This time they kept a close watch of him and as soon as he put in an appearance an officer was notified. Horn saw the policeman approaching the building and would have escaped had he not been caught by the janitor. The prisoner was taken to the police station. In going through his pockets the officers found a razor, a piece of a fancy wax candle and his list of names, all of which were taken from him.

'Upon removing the bandage from his arm it was found that he still had two hands. Wednesday Horn was taken before Justice Heinemann who sentenced him to the workhouse for ten days. CHURCHES WILL JOIN. Memorial Service for the Victims of the Maine Disaster. On Sunday, May 29, at the armory, all the local churches will join in a memorial service for the victims of the Maine disaster.

Next Sunday was the day set for the service but it will be impossible to hold it on that day for various reasons. All the Catholic churches throughout the I country, however, have arranged for memorial services on that day and they will be carried out according to the suggestions of Cardinal Gibbons. The collections are to go toward a monument which is to be erected in honor of the victims. Similar services are to be held by all the, Protestant churches on the same day with the exoeption of those in this city. The money raised will be devoted to the same purpose.

The program for the service at the armory has not yet been arranged. It will probably consist of short addresses by each of the pastors and appropriate music. Early Morning Fire. J. F.

The flames were soon extinguished but not until the upper story was destroyed. The family was away from borne at the time the fire occurred. The loss is estimated at about $800.

Bev. Phf lip B. Albert, pastor of St. John's German Evangelical church, died of lung trouble at an early hour Friday morning after an illness of about four weeks. About a year ago he suffered an attack of dropsy and since that time has never been in rugged health.

Louis, where he graduated in 1893. Immediately after his graduation he received a call to Hartford, where he remained two years. He came to this city in 1895 and founded St. John's society and was instrumental in the erection of a new church at the upper end of the avenue. Besides his parents who live in Sheboygan county he leaves three brothers and two sisters.

The funeral was held from St. John's church Monday afternoon. MAKES EXTRA WORK, War Bulletins at the Telephone Office Keep the Operators Busy. Since the Wisconsin Telephone company has been receiving war bulletins the work of the operators has been nearly doubled. The operators not only have to receive the bulletins but they have to report them for many of the neighboring towns, including Neenah and Menasha, Kaukauna, New London, Hortonville and Seymour.

Were this all, the operators would have no kick coming but they have to repeat them a hundred times a day to local subscribers. The telephone company gets the bulletins direct from Washington and they differ little from those sent out by the associated press. The war service is excellent as is evidenced by the crowd that may be seen about the bulletin board in front of the office at any hour of the day. i First Load of Wool. Arnold Peerenboom bought the first wool of the season Friday Felix De-Coster, of the town of Buchanan.

There were 110 pounds and it brought 17 cents a pound. The price this year is greatly in excess of that of other years and it promises to go still higher. J. Austin Adams. J.

The wool will be stored in a large warehouse immediately back of the store.

Burled Friday Afternoon. Karl Bloedel, of Grand Chute, who died Wednesday, was buried Friday afternoon. He was 73 years old. Dying? of Consumption. There is a painful interest in the news that Edward Bellamy, the author of "Looking Backward," is dying of con that sort of thing from the same source in the past, and pay little attention to it, so the feeling of annoyance quickly gave way to amusement at the futility of the latest demonstration of "soreness." The medical inspection is expected to begin this week, but the length of our stay here is still problematical.

We had a number of Appleton visitors Sunday, and it was almost like being home again to see the familiar faces. Various boxes of "grub" have also found their way to members of the company in camp and are religiously shared -all but certain little notes that come in them so we haven't entirely lost touoh with "home cooking" and the good things of life. Taken up one side and down the other, soldiering at Camp Harvey is not so bad from a standpoint of comfort, but we would willingly out short the rations of comfort for a chance to get nearer the front before the war is over, and an opportunity to demonstrate that Co. is really "it" at least part of the time. Ralph Pomerot.

SETTLED FOR $5,000. The Damage Salt of William Michelstetter Disposed of last Week. The big damage suit of William Michelstetter vs. the Chicago Northwestern Railway company, which went to trial in the circuit court Tuesday was disposed of Wednesday by the railway company agreeing to pay the plaintiff $5000. It is understood that the Mo-Kay case has been settled and that the Bussell case is also to be adjusted without going to trial.
