Sl.5OPer Annun.

The WEEKLY WISCONSIN has been received with
such marked approval by its readers and the public

snail give 1t rank with the great weekly journals of
the country. As means for introducing it to the
attention of the people place its price of sub

other newspapers of its character. Our experience
has proven that great newspaper can be furnished
for $3.50 per annum. The experiment has been
tried and mas been crowned with success We now
are determined to extend its field to the uttermost
boundaries of the United States While its scope
and field will be national, the WISCONSIN viii par
take of the better characteristics and enterprise

A HOmpSick Indian.

The Oxford penn Press says: Zone
OF the Indians who recently came to
Lincoln University to receive an educa-
ton, left about two weeks ago for his
home in Utah valley, having become
homes lex. He was the nephew of a
chief, and thought he did not receive
the homage which should be paid to so
distinguished a parsonage. This was
shown by him more particularly toward
Richard Komas and the other Indian at
the university. A few days before he
left he became SO indignant that he
dressed himself in all his Indian tog
gerry, put on war paint, and with knife
and revolver IN his belt appeared in the
presence of the faculty of the univer-
sity, declaring his intention of setting
off on foot for his home in the West
The officers OF the institution,
seeing that he was determined to
go, prevailed upon him to
wait until the next morning, when they
would send him by railroad Accord
ingly, the next morning, Messrs. John
B. Randall and Edward ID. Bingham,
to Philadelphia, and placed him aboard
TIE TRAM Ioi ollldlld, LII Specldl charge
of the conductor. He had been given a
new name at tie university, that of John
j. Patterson. He was quite an apt
scholar, and showed remarkable quick
ness of perception, having mastered the
alphabet in short time, and could I'M
derstand many English words. He was
always respectful to the officers of the
institution, asd only got upon his dig
nifty because lis Indian companion had
imbibed too much of our Democratic
notions, thereby failing to show him the
Difference the kinsman of the chief WAS
entitled to.

The following Is a summarized state
ment of the loss oflife on the lakes in 1874,
as compared with 1878 and 1872. twill
be seen that the number is greater this
year than in either OF the preceding two
years. This is principally due to the
fearful squall which passed over the
west coast of Lake Michigan early in
April, whereby "A fishermen, six off

Professor Barker, of Yale College
formerly, and now of Philadelphia, has
recently made discovery of great value
to railroad men. 1t is metallic paint,
intended for application to journal
boxes on railroad cars. The paint,
when heated to about 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, turns from its original
color, which is a deep, clear red, to a
pure black; and Immediately on cool
ing 1t resumes its reddish hue. The
journal boxes being covered with the
metallic paint, train hands may detect
at a glance whether a journal has heat
ed or is heating. Their knowledge al
present is only gained when the wood
work has ignited and the damage has
already been done.

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.
We congratulate the Temperance
world on the success everywhere at
tending the use of VINEGAR BITTERs,
Certainly no preparation containing al
cohol has accomplished such cures as
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, constipa-
ton, and general debility, as we hear of
from all quarters, as the results of this
famous vegetable specific. No true phi
lanthropist will regret to see s"irituous
liquors expelled from medical use, if
they can be safely dispensed with; and
that they are not necessary in any case
of sickness, whatever it's character, APP
pears at last to have been demonstrated.
Ii public opinion is capable of making
any impression upon the minds Of the
Faculty, they will ere long introduce
the most popular of modern medicines
into the hospitals, and prescribe it in
their practice. The millions have given
the article fair trial; it has more than
answered their expectations, and no the
oretical opposition can shake their faith

day has the following:
Clark thread works in Newark. in
which upward of LOCO men and women
are employed, was the scene yesterday
morning of a remarkable accident. At
about 7:30 o'clock the couplings of the
main shaft broke, relieving the engine
from the 900 horsepower resistance of
the machinery, and increasing it's mo-
mentum to such a degree that it was in
few minutes torn to atoms. The large
hy-wheel in the engine house, which
weighed about twenty tons, parted in
innumerable fragments. The flying
pieces of the broken machinery tore
down the walls of the engine-roonl,
completely demolishing that part of the
extensive works. A two ton fragment
of the cog-wheel shot up fifty feet into
the air. 1t crushed throug h a foot
bridge connecting two sections of the
buildings one hundred feet distant, and
then imbeddeG itself in the earth. 9th
er pieces of the wheel struck the wall
of the main building, making large
holes in two places. The loss, which
will have to be borne by the company,
is estimated at upwards of $40, 900.
Wonderful to say, no one was hurt, but
many narrow escapes are reported.

leitner, of Dover, Olmsted county.
LAST Thursday morning the stable
and granary, both one building, on the
farm Of Hon. B.'F. Perry, in Kalmar,
Olmsted county, was consumed by fire.
In the building were 100 bushels of
grain, Is tons Of hay, set of harness,
tanning mill and other farming uten-
sils. Mr.. Perry estimates his loss at
$1,000, which is onc-third insured in
the Farmers Mutual.
SIX men employed by the Milwaukee
& St. Paul company, at La Crescent,
were arrested Thursday for breaking
into and stealing from cars. They were
particularly charged with stealing
brandy and champagne to the value Of
800. and held for trial at Hokah next
Thursday in $500 each. The company
has of late suffered frequent losses Of
freight, and had it's detective hunting
for the thieves. He was assisted in
making the arrest by La Crosse police.

From the Lakes to Europe.

The schooner Benson, which was re-
Gently loaded with grain at Toledo and
sailed for Europe by way Of the St.
Lawrence river. has arrived at Cork,
Ireland, to the qualification Of the own
ers and the surprise of sailing masters.
The vessel, in order that it might pass
out to ocean, was necessarily built in
such manner that it was deemed un-
seaworthy by underwriters, and the
owners were liable to effect an insur-
ance on either vessel or cargo. Under
the circumstances it is matter Of sur
prise that she has at length reached
Ireland in safety. The success of the
first trip, if it should pay, may tempt
owners to risk few more but with
the unanimous opinion of Underwriters
against the safety Of the voyage in ves-
sells capable Of passing down the St..
Lawrence, it will take good many suc-
cessful trips to establish regular line
of vessels sailing direct from the lake
cities to Europe.

the four men walked over to
the grave, where they found the
two workmen engaged in screwing on
the lid of the coffin. When it had been
completed, the curtain Of the wagon
was at once buttoned down over it.
The gravediggers remarked to the four
men that they had just buried a man
who had died Of the worst case of yellow
fever they had ever known, and they
would advise them to seek healthier
atmosphere; but as the visitors refused
to credit the story, and manifested no
alarm, the gravediggers drove off into

scattered like autumn. The damage to
buildings was mostly in barns and sheds
on the outskirts Of the city. and several
of the blacksmith and wagon shops on
Franklin street suffered more or
less in being unroofed and other
wise shattered. There is quite
a contract of chimney building as we'll
as window glazing Oh hand. The lum-
Der yards were left in a highly mixed
up condition. The horses in Mr.. Per-
kins' livery stable became almost fran
tic with ''skeer,' broke their halters
and tore around considerably until the
noise on the iron roof ceased.
The hail did not touch the farms on
the bluff below. seeming to pass east
wardly. The village of Reeds suffer-
ed about as We did here.
The damage is of course widely scat
tered. and to estimate it accurately
would be like taking a census of the
community. It would no doubt amount
to thousands Of dollars.

The Lake City Leader records tre-
mendous hail storm on that eventful
Saturday. 1t says:
The hail storm was fortunately not
widely extended. 1t came down the
lake, giving :Frontenac and Florence a
Kidding, butnot touching Maiden Rock.
IN passing down, it damaged the crops
Gn several farms near the lake. Near
Central Point it took detour further
west, taking in the farms Of Charles
Gould and Jos. Scott, almost making
complete wreck .of their crops. Mr..
Scett had twenty acres each Of wheat
and oats which is a total loss. The side
of his house w&s moved in two inches,
chim ney blown down and eighty lights
of glass broken, which will do for one
dwelling house. His loss will exceed
5000. A field Of wheat of Samncl Her.
ron sRear by was thoroughly thrashed.
From this point its limits did not ex-
tend! ito exceed block west of the rail-
read, crossing the lake and DESTROYING
barns ard crops in Wisconsin. It pass
ed down through the city on regular
gala trip, leaving the effect of it's vista
tion on every house, in every garden
and on almost every tree and Shrub.
Those whe felt its effects more or less
seriously would include the names Of
nearly every resident in town. The
windows Of the school houses and
churches were completely ziddled on
their exposed sides, the Episcopal
church losing nearly all the stained
glass. The Lyon Block and the Nation
al Bank and stores on Center street
suffered severely in large plate glass.
Gardens are generally completely de-
stroyed, and one Of our friends reports
with deep sorrow that his watermelons
are all lefectually "plugged.'' Trees
and shrubbery suffered worse than

ago, fruit being knocked of and leaves

A MINNESOTA STORM.
Record of Some of the Damage Done
FreebOrn County.

In FreeborA county the Albert Lea
Standard reports extensive damage.
At Albert Lea but little damage was
done, but in the northern part Of the
county the damage was considerable.
In Newry the Catholic church was bad
ly wrecked. Mr.. Merriam had his
house unroofed, as also Andrew Leary.
\ granary of John Heron blew down.
DAMAGE AT BaTH.
The Catholic church in what is known
as Sheehan's grove was forced bodily
ten feet from it's foundation, but owing
to it's strength Of frame was not injured.
John Peterson's granary, as also Col.
Skinner barn, blew over, and we be-
licve both were made total wrecks.
Peter Peterson was hurt badly in the
shoulder during the storm, through the
falling of timber, breaking his shoulder
bone. Hans Rasmussen Svendstorp
received bad hurt on his head.
Rain and hail fell heavily for time,
and the lightning dealt blows literally
among the trees. One bolt struck an
old oak overhanglng hay stack which
Michael Sheehan was putting up. His
wagon was alongside of the stack, and
he had but hurriedly unhitched the
horses when the flash came. not only
shivering the oak, but striking the
whifetrees upon his wagon.
Great damage was done to corn and
other crops. 1t is said to have been
the hardest storm experienced by the
people of Bath for seventeen years. No
less than seven houses were unroofed or
otherwise damaged in this town.
Among those not mentioned are the
dwellings of James Larson, James Jen-
son, Peter Peterson, ana Erick Christo-
gherson.
DAMAGE IN HARTLAND.
A communication received from Hart
Land says:
A terrific tornado swept over our
tewn last night, taking every thing in its
course. Houses were blown down, grain
laid PROSTATE, fences blown down. &c.
Tokel Lee had nice frame house moved
about six rods, and then blown to pieces.
Several of his family were severely in
jured. The school house in district No.
IS @as moved several feet, but not 9TH
erWise injured.
DAMAGE AT FREEBORN.
The grist mill at Freeborn was badly
damaged. The large propelling wheel
was entirely taken away by the wind,
and I'VE. believe the mill was otherwise
more or less affected. Several dwelling
houses"Eerc entirely unroofed among
them those of c. H. Derby, S. Fuller,
John Swablin and r. Stensrud. An
other house, nearly new, belonging to
Norwegian, whose name we did not
learn, hutvwho lives near Whitelaw's
place, was: totally demolished. In ad-
dition to:these misfortunes, fences, hay,
grain and gardens suffered.
