September 9Th. The fire is supposed to
hay e caught from the kitchen stove chimney
as Mrs. Davis was ironing at the time and
it was first discovered by their little
girl, after it had burned through the CELL
ing, her attention being attracted by pie
ces of fire falling on the stove. Mr.. Davis
was at neighbct's, tkreshing, at the timei
and there was no one about the place but
Mrs. Davis and the children. She gave
the alarm ais best size could, but Che flames
had cot such q start that but little
could be saved from the house. The loss
is partially covered by insurance in the
Madison Mutual.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis desire us, in this
connectio u, to return their SINGER thank
to their neighbors for their many acts Of
kindness 10 them in this misfortune.

Legislature for his devotion to the reform
cause. Although g We hear that Judge
Ryan has decided that this branch of the
G. M. & st. P. R. R. is exempt from the
provisions of the Potter law, yet Ashmore
has brought another suit to-day. Whether
this is judicious or not we do not pretend
to say, but it looks 4 little that way.
The family Of WI. Roberts has been
bereaved by the death of their little daugh-
ter Georgia, aged five years. She was the
pet of the family, bright, intelligent and
devoted child. The family have the sym
pathies of this community.
There is considerable sickness re-
ported in and around this section, just
now.
Stagnation in trade seems to be the
universal complaint. But very littIesgrain
is being brought to market, and but little
of that sold. Live hogs and hops are
about the only things bringing a fair price.
Roberts & Harris are paying from 80
to Sc for live hogs, and hops are sell ing
from 80 to 35 cents per ID.

TIE 9 UEsTtoN TO ANSWER. The strug-
gle this fall is to be between Republican
ism and Democracy. The friends of the
latter organization are doing their best by
united efforts to bring their party to the
front. Republicans must lay aside all side
issues until the general one is settled The
nation is called upon to answer this ques
ton: "Shall the House of Representatives
pass into the hands of the Democracy p We
say emphatically. Mol 1t would be pub
lie calamity to permit it, 1t would para
lyze the Industrial ehergies Of the country;
it would injure our credit; disturb tie
peace and tranquility of the nation; open
the old wounds of injured state pride; and
in hundred ways retard the true growth
of the Republic. We call upon the peo-
ple to send their best men to Congress.
Let them be representative Republicans,

Cut the Corns

Not every farmer, bat by far the major-
ity Of Wisconsin farmers, will find it to
their advantage to add to their other sup
plies of winter food for stock, good quaD-
tty of carefully shocked and handled corn
fodder. Cutting and feeding this is dis
agreeable work, but it pays. Cut as ear
ly as the maturity Of the corn win allow,
and carefully handled thereafter, very
large quantity of good fodder can thus be
obtained. We are glad to see evidence
that more corn will be cut this year than
ever before in Wisconsin, but it is not
yet too tate for some farmers to reconsider
their arrangements and decide to cut at
least q few acres. - Western Furn.sf.

Ng- There IS to be women's Con
gress held in Chicago on the tn Of Oc-

Of suffrage is to be considered. An en-
deavor will be made to determine what
sort of monetary enterprise women may
safely engage in, how to combine intel
lectual and household labors, the right
way to conduct kitchen, how to bring
up girls in the way they shoiIld go, and,
lastly, the question of inheritance with
reference to prenatal influence" The
subject Of dress will also be causually al
luded to and woman's part in Journalism.
The variety of the topics discussed will
render the sessions Of the congress very
interesting and there will be no such
thing as monotony. For instance, when
they get tired of talking about prenatal
inheritance they can discuss kitchen work
and from that q very pleasing transition
can be made to tho subject of iourna lism.
