The Fruits of Jealousy.

A few evenings since a man named
Phillips, on returning home to bis resi-
dence in this city, saw through the wind
ow of his house, a man in the embrace Of
his wife, fondly caressing and kissing her.
lie looked and looked again, to make sure
what he saw was no delusion but eality.
Still did. bis wife and the man continue
their expressions of delight and gratifca
ton toward each other. The brain Of
Phillips became maddened at the sight.
He ell to the wood shed, and arming
himself with an axe, sailed into the room
where the pair were. Without stopping
to look, think or speak, he made an on
sslaught on both. As lie raised the axe it
truck the stove pipe, which fell upon
cradle IN which there was an infant tha.
narrowly escaped death. Wife and man
were knocked down. Mr.. Phillips reveng
ed himself especially on the man, whom he
Knocked and kicked about unmercifully.-
Thep9or woman undertook to save the man
This step cxasperated Phillips, who turned
upon her and did that which he never bad
occasion to do before, abuse and maltreat
her, While he was doing this, the young
stranger saw the door open, picked HIM
self up and made off, and that is the last
that has been seen of him.
After going on terribly for some five or
ten minutes, Philips sat down and wept
like a child. His wife still lay on the floor
in help pless condition. He raised her up
ard tried to soothe her pains. As soon as
she had recovered, she informed him that
the young man be had SO attacked and
abused was his long absent son, who had
Just returned from California, where lie
had been since 1913. The wife was so
badly injured by the assault of her husband
that she fell into delirious state, and her
friends have been obliged to send her to
the Asylum, as she was fast becoming
insane.

and 1888 induced many to leave Milwau-
kee and locate claim" The lands be-
tween Milwaukee and the Rock river were
then surveyed, but were not brought into
market till the fall of 1889. During this
time they had become thiehly settled, and
many of them quite valuable. The hard
times in the east had led many to seek a
home in the west and in the fall of 1889,
when these lands came into market, many
of them had been SO improved that they
were worth from SO to 500 an acre,
while the occupants had not the first 'red
cent to buy them with. Consequently
a large portion Of the settlers were com
pelled to either sell their Improvements for
what they could get, or pay from % to SO
per cent. for money to enter them with.
About this time, Alexander Mitchell,
Harvey Birchard, the Messrs. Ludington,
E. Eldred, and other capitalists, came to
Milwaukee and purchased let's at 800
each that had been previously sold from
$1,000 to $500 and are now selling
from $4,000 to $4,000 each. From that
day to this, Il" the rise and progress of
Milwaukee has been steady and onward.
The price of land has continued to advance
with the increase of business, and nearly
all who commenced in business there at
that time, and continued to the present,
have become wealthy and independent-
In 1916, the Legislature passed an act to
devide the county of Milwaukee, and es-
tablsh the county of Waukesha also an
other to incorporate the city of Milwaukee.
At the first charter election in the new
city Solomon Juneau was elected Mayor,
which was well merited compliment to
the "o.d pioneer"
Mr.. juneau, subsequently left Milwau
kee, and settled at the village of Theresa,
in Dodge county, where he resided until
his death, which occurred in 1858. He
had large family, and by industry got a
comfortable living.

suppose we slept much less than we talk
ed. Day came fair and rosy, and with it
the punishment Of our captives.
They were now quite sobered. We
marched them into the woods off the road,
and having usd them as Regulators were
wont to use such delinquents. We set
fire TO the cabin, gave all the skins and
implements to the young Indian warrior,
ond proceeded, well pleased, towards the
settlements.
During upwards Of twenty five years,
when my wanderngs extended to all parts
of our country, this was the onl y time at
which my life was in danger from my fel-

travellers run in The United States, that no
one born there ever dreams of any to be
encountered on the road and | can only
account for this occurrence by supposing
that the inhabitants of the cabin were not

CLocKs.-Mr. Camp, President of the
New Haven Clock Company, in recent
speech at supper, said;
Clock making was commenced about
1915, by Elias Terry, of Plymouth, who
made wooden clocks, whiting out the
wheels with a knife. The running was
regulated by heavy bag of fsand, and WAS
wound up by ball at the other end of
the cord. Terry use to make 2 clocks,
swing them across his horne, and ride off
in search of market. Very soon he in
troduced the use of BRASS movements"
using old kettles, because brass was scarce.
When he undertook to rake two hundred
clocks, people laughed at him, they think
ing it would be impossible to sell them
In 1928, Hon. Channcey Jerome COM
menced the business, and with progressive
improvements the business now stands
more perfected than any other in the
country. In 1929 a wooden clock cost
$11-now a much better one can be
bought for 81 SO The business previous
Iy transacted by c. Jerome & Co, is now
done by the New Haven clock company.
In 1857 the company commenced to make
casting. Then it was thought wonderful
that it turned out 1000 clocks. In the
year just ended the company turned ont
10000 complete clocks, and 10000
finished movements.

A COOP THING IL THE VIRGINIA GIRLS
The ladies at a ball in Warrenton, Va,
appeared dressed in linsev woolsey, as an
indication that henceforth they are COM
mercially Independent of silks and satins.
This is good movement, economically as
well as parioticaly. One half the troub-
les of the country are the result of extrav-
agance in ladies dresses, some of them
wearing a small fortune on their backs
If the dear creatures are to come down to
plain linsey woolsey, what saving it will
be to their husbands pockets and how
matrimony will be promoted in Virginia.
Linsey is good, comfortable inaterial to
be clothed in, and the absence ofanything
rich or gaudy will give persc nal adorn-
ment.
