By order of District Committee. CHANGING FRONT. In the last Jefferson Banner Mr. Private Secretary George W. Bird, comes to the rescue of Mr.

Sam Rindskopf, a well known Liquor Dealer, of Milwaukee, who now stands indicted by the United States Court for defrauding the revenue. In his effort he hardly talks in the same strain that he did a few years ago when working in the temperance cause in Jefferson County in his fanatical way, firing heart! against everybody engaged in the liquor traffic and abjuring all who did not come up to the not and taste standard. Mr. Bird in his day and generation has done something in this county towards creating a spirit of animosity among the temperance people and tho-e opposed to meddling with the liquor question. In fact as a George was considered a success.

But it appears that this manner of action is not a winmug card for a whose head is restless with ambition, and now behold him a defender of Sam Rindskopf and the whisky interests Temperance State Convention. convention of the temperance people of the State is called to meet at Oshkosh next month for the pur pose of nominating Congressmen and recommending candidates'for the legislature. Of course this meeting has the hearty sympathy of the Democrats, as is is called for no other object in view than the dividing of the Republican ranks in the coming campaign. We trust every sound Republican will see the thing in this light. It is only by our dissensions that the Democrats can have any hope of success.

No one with a grain of common sense expects that a purely temperance ticket can ever succeed in Wisconsin. Threefourths of the temperance people are Republicans, and the fourth that aie democrats stick to the democratic ticket right or wrong. The question js will the temperance Republicans prove the instruments in pulling the chesnuts out of the fire fur the democrats to feed upon libel suit cf Attorney- General Sloan against the Milwaukee Sentinel for an ai tide published during the last session of the legislature, embracing serious reflections on the honesty of the Attorney-General, has been withdrawn the Sentinel having disclaimed any intention to charge Mr Sloan with corruption, and made the amende honorable. -O Murder.

Moore, who lives about four miles south of Milton, Rock County, had his leg badly broken, last Tuesday, by a kick from a high-spirited horse, which he was driving. Not knowing that his leg was broken, he jumped out of the vehicle to attend to his team but the jump was too much for himhe fell on the broken limb with such force that both ends of the broken bone protracted through the flesh, making an ugly wound.

Two Boys Smothered in an Elevator. terrible and fatal accident occurred at Neenah yesterday afternoon at the wheat elevator Hewitt Cos. As is well-known the wheat in these large elevators is drawn through mammoth hoppers in large grain wagons below, which convey the grain from the elevators to the mill.

On yesterday when the teamster pulled the slide to allow the wheat to run down into his wagon, suddenly the wheat ceased io flow when the wagon was only partially filled. He ran a long pole up the spout and again started the wheat to running, but evidently there was something which prevented the wheat from running with its usual freedom. However he finally got his wagon filled and drove to the mill, where he emptied and returned to the elevator. Ou pulling the slide the wheat this time utterly refused to run down the spout, when he thrust his band up and was horrified to grasp the cold, bare foot of a human being. This was his first intimation of the cause of the stoppage pf the wheat in the spout.

Hastily giving the alarm, assistance came and the bottom of the hopper was torn away and down came two dead bodies mingled with the wheat as it rolled upon the floor. The bodies were lifeless, apparently having been dead an hour or more. The victims of the sad and terrible accident were two boys about 14 years of age, one the eon of Mike Aiderman of the Third Ward, and the other a son of Mr. Williamson, engineer of the switch engine at that place. It appears that the boys had climbed into the loft of the elevator for the purpose of catching the doves that were flyiug about up there, and in all probability were tramping over the wheat when the teamster pulled the valve and were resistlessly drawn into the rushing vortex of wheat.

When drawn from the hopper the bodies were found literally crammed with wheat, ears, nose, stomach, lungs, and every avenue of the body were perfectly solid with wheat, the poor boys having swallowed and inhaled the grain in their terrible struggle with death, while sinking deeper and deeper into the seething billows of wheat and dust. The famous trotting mare whose performance at Rochester, where she trotted the third heat in the fabulous time of and has attracted so much attention, was raised by Colonel W. D. Crockett, formerly of Germantown, now residing oa his farm about six miles from Rock Island, Illinois. He sold the dam of Lulu at an advanced age to a New York party, at a high figure.

The Colonel has on his farm a number of other trotting prodigies variously related to Lulu. Among them is six year old filly, three quarter sister to Lulu, that has every promise of being as fast, although as yet she is withou a name and has had no training to speak of. Luly is now ten years old, and was raised at Rock Island. Col. Crockett sold her to her present owner, Mr.

Green, for $20,000, three years ago. Ib'he had made no record at that time. Her best record previous to last year was 2:22. The President's Sons Make a Little Walk of two Hundred Miles A Pittsburgh dispatch says: afternoon there arrived in Pittsburgh Ulysses Grant, and Jesse Grant, sons of the President, Lieutenant Harry Otis, and a son of Thomas Murphy, ex Collector of the port of New York. The young gentlemen weie on a pedestrian tour, having walked all the way from Huntingdon, a distance of 200 miles, and the manner in which they footed the distance entitles them to the rank of first-class pedestrians.

They were unencumbered by baggage, having had their trunks expressed to this city from Huntingdon retaining just sufficient to fill a moderate-sized satchel. On their first day out they accomplished twenty-one miles of their journey without a morsel of food from its commencement, owing to the mountain roads traversed and the consequent scarcity of farmhouses. The next and subsequent days of their journey they got over a great deal of ground without feeling much fatigued and on their arrival at this city expressed themselves as being able to accom plish the distance again in much less time than on the first occasion. They were very brown and dusty, but, nevertheless, very jolly, and thought the grandeur of the scenery of the Alle gheny mountains surpassingly beautiful, amply repaying them for their long journey. After a change of clothing and rest of some hours here, they boarded the cars for Washington, for the purpose of visiting Mr.

Smith, a nephew of President Grant, who resides at that place. Here a grand coon hunt is to take place next week, in which the distinguished party will participate. Ulysses, Jr. is in the twentieth year of his age, and recently graduated from Harvard University. Lieutenant Otis gratuated from West Point last fall.

Murphy and Jesse are the youngest of the pedestrians, but on this long journey proved themselves to be much tougher than their older companions. Gold in the Black Hills. New York Tribune correspondent with the Black Hills expedition sends the following by special scout to Ft. Laramie Headquarters Black Hills Expedition, Mills S. E.

of Pmak, D. I Aca. 2, 1874. The country which the expedition has traversed has proved to be one of the most fertile and beautiful sections in the United States. Indications of gold were discovered about a week ago, and within two days its presence in sufficient quantities abundantly to repay working has been established beyond a doubt.

How large an area the gold sectionjcovera cannot be determined without further exploration, but the geological characteristics of the country the researches of our prospectors, and all the indications point to valuable fields. So far we have obtained surface gold alone. Our miners hope yet to find a good quartz lead. The expiration of the Sioux treaty will open to settlement a beautiful and highlyproductive area of country, hitherto entirely unknown. Grass water, and timber of several varieties are found in abundance, and all of excellent quality; small fruits abound game is plentiful.

The valleys are well adapted for cattle-raising or agricultural purposes, while the scenery is lovely beyond ddscription. The flora is the most varid and exuberant of any see tion this side of California. In this respect it is anew Florida; it may prove to be anew Eldorado. The command is in good health, and explorations are being rapidly conducted. The Railroad Convention dispatch gives the following concluding proceedings of Railroad Commissioners of Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, at Dubuque, the 13th.

Committees were appointed as follows: On classification of Freight and Rates of of Illinois; Randall, of Minnesota, and Hoyt, of Wisconsin. On Railway of Wisconsin; Edgertoa, of Minnesota, and Steele of Illinois.

The Commissioners agreed to meet at Madison, is on the last Tuesday of September, at which time the Commissioners will report on matters submitted to them.

JNo action looking to immediate results, was taken by The Commissioners. Commissioner Osborne, of Oshkosh, submitted and suggested various questions touching the subject of railroad legislation, which after considerable discussion, were, at bis request, referred to the commitee on railroad legislation, as follows: Not to allow bonds to be issued except where a valuable consideration shall have been received. 2. Not to allow an issue of more bonds than a just security of stock will admit. o.

I ictitious valuation to be void, and penalty provided. 4. An exhibit of the actual cost of roads to be a matter of audit by state officials. The representatives of the State of lowa were unaccountably absent, and surprise is indulged in by both the Commissioners and the public. There is going to be another Butler in Congress.

He hails from Tennessee. Cranberry Crop in Wisconsin couple of weeks ago the cranberry crop gave promise of abundant yield. Now reports come faom the principal districts devoted to its culture, stating that the crop will be a total tailure. The cranberry worm has devastated the marshes around Berlin, and the excessive heat has ruined the prospects of even an average crop in the vicinity of Grand Rapids. The latest advices from the marshes in Burnett county were of a favorable character, and there was every reason to expect an abundant yield but possibly by this time they have shared the same fate of marshes in the eastern and central parts of the state.

This is the third year of failure in the cranberry crop, and we fear it will strike a severe, if not fatal blow to that branch of business in this state. With many men it will be times and and perhaps with a few the record will be (times and busted Macison Journal PRIVATE SCHOOL HELEN 11.
