Farmer Ludington.

Tho following remarks made at the
State Fair by Gov. Luddington are
in their plainness and good sense
characteristic of him:
Thirty eight years ago this ground
which we now occupy was a dense
forest. There was no road from Mil
waukee to the interior of the territory.
The first road which led to Madison
was surveyed in 1888. Immigrants
were compelled to cut their own way
through the timber and the first wag-
on that went from here tow aterstown
was three weeks in travelling that dis
lance.
Notwithstanding our want of COM
forts and conveniences, my recollec-
ton is, that we enjoyed ourselves
rather better than we do now. Our
wants were few and orr anticipations
great. Now our wants have increased
while some of our anticipations, at
least, have not been realized. | can
not escape the belief that if the peo-
Pile would practice the same economy
now that was practiced by the settlers
Of territorial Wisconsin, it would do
much to solve the problem of hard
times.
X X X x
There is no respect in which the
agriculture and industries of Wiscon-
sin have not made good progress, and
visit to the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia will prove this. You
can imagine what satisfaction it af-
forded me to learn that our State
stood first in dairy products, probably
first in the manufacture OF leather,
and that sheis sure to rank high in the
horse and sheep departments.
During the past year | have visited
ten different states of the Union, and
my observations confirm my pride in
Wisconsin and my confidence in her
destiny. What this destiny shall be
depends largely upon her agricultural
interests, and it rests viii you to per-
form your part that when her centen-
NAL comes it may be celebrated by a
large and prosperous population sur.
rounded by evidences of wealth cult
walton and an advanced Christian
civilization.

"A SINGULAR CASE.

Some months ago, the babe in the family
CT one of orr citizens was suddenly sieZed
with an affection of the throat, with symp-
toms OF peculiar charactej and physician
was called to give the little sufferer relief.
The first one failed and then others were
called. They gave the infant medicines
hurled voluminous and hard sounding names
at the disease; sent the child into the country
to avoid the axe winds, but the little inno-
cent continued to grow worse, and was
brought back. Du ring this time an older
child eyinced popularity that was consid-
cred unaccountable. Whenever the babe
would cough and show signs OF great suffer
ing, the older one would persist in saying it
was the button in the baby's neck. Time
passed until short time ago, when, in one
of the babes very violent fits of coughing,
button was coughed up. and tn vagarles
of the older child was explainahle. There
had during all this time been lodged in the
air passages of the babes throat this butten,
aud the older child had known it, but was
unable to explain so that others might know
il az well. The little patient is now doing
well, having good health, becoming hearty
and growing fat.

| From the time that Noah got drunk on home.
made wine to the present time, intemp erance
has existed. From the time that the Rechabites
they, their sons their daughters, to the pres
ent time, tempe ance societies have been in exis-
lance, trying mit gate the damaging effects Of
the curse ofintemperance. Of late years this
movement has taken peculiar direction, and
the Temperance Coffee Room is one of the results
of this new kind OF reformatory move ment.
Sometime ago the ladies of our city began
making efforts to innaugurate temperance room
here-a place whore the young men and young
ladies', the old men and the old
ladies, the stranger from abroad, the farmer
from n carer by, the farmers wife and daughters,
the business man and the man of leizure may
spend their spare hours, under influences devoid
of the soul-kllling power ofrum and it's surround
jngs. The result of the effort of the ladies of
Kenosha has been the opening of a pleasant
room on Main street, free to all where light and
wholesome refreshment can be obtained at a
fair rate and where all will be treated with the
kindness and manner due to ladies and gentle
men. The TELEGRAPH urges upon ell people who
have the good OF their fellow men at heart, to
encourage this enterprise on the part of the
ladies, by every means in their power. The con-
tribution of books, papers magazines, pamphlets,
etc.. for the entertainment of visitors and pa
tronage for the encouragement Of those in charge
of the rooms will be very exceptable, and duly
appreciated by the workers in this good cause.
The opening night of the Coffee Room took
Mace last Tuesday ey eniup when all the delica-
cies of the season were served up by the ladies
interested in the movement in Kenosha. From an
early hour in the evening till ten O'Clock, the
rooms were kept well filed, by guests coming
and going and each one who came did some
thing to further the cause. The opening as an
entertainment, and as a financial enterprise was
a complete success; the receipts reported amount
ing to the snug little sum of $6O.00 May the
days OF the Coffee Room be long in Kenosha,
and blessing to US all.

no renewal of the fire in tue stove after re-
cess, which was about three O'Clock in the
afternoon. The Origin of the fret unknown,
but it seems improbable that the fire in the
stove should maintain vigor enough to set
the building on fire, from three O'Clock in
the afternoon, till midnight. The building
was rather old, and valued at two or three
hundred dollars.

Whisky Work

Last Sunday night, moral % society met in a
gin-s shop in Bridgeport, south of Chicago, to in
stall their new officers After the installation bus
/ mess was through, the crowd set in for steady
drinking. About o'clock in the morning, Off
Ger Harmon, member of this moral (?) society
entered, accompanied by Thos Rooney, the 'sson
of well-todo farmer living near Kenosha, and
introduced him as his friend A short time after
this, row occurred, and It is claimed that Roo
ney was attacked and beaten in brutal manner
by the others, when he drew revolver and fired
two shots wounding two men, one of whom died
during Monday, and the other survived, and was
still alive at o'clock, Tuesday evening.
Rooney was arrested and placed in confine-
ment. He claimed that the shooting was done in
self-defense, which is probably the case, judging
from the direction the balls passed through the
body's of the victims as the direction in both
cases was upward indicating that Rooney was
down at the time of firing. The Chicago Inter-
Ocean and Times say, ssThe men present at the
time of the shooting were not roughs or loafers,
but mostly steady, hard-working men," l.
what were they doing in swill-shop at that time
of night if they we've sssteady hard working men?'
Thos. Rooney is man about % years of age. of
Irish parentage; and obtained a position on the
police force of Chicago last September-ser
till last Saturday when he resigned. 1t is stated
that he was considered by his superior officers as
very respectable, energetic, smart man. His
father. Mr.. Samuel Rooney, of Pleasant Prairie,
went to Chicago Tuesday to render his son what
assistance ne could in his difficulty.
Rooney is still under arrest, and continues to
claim that he was fighting in self-defense. That
he used his revolver as club at first, and until
knocked down, and then fired to save himself
