FELLOW CITIZENS: | would like in open
ing the few remarks | have to make this
afternoon, If felt that | could safely do so,
to undertake to catalogue the various adj
vantages and attractions possessed by Wis
consin and the city of Madison. But we
have seen so many, and heard of so many
others we have not seen, that the catalogue
would be unreasonably long. | assure you,
however, that all who are travelling with
me, if | may Judge from the expressions
have heard, are all sufficiently impressed by
the very great advantages Of your great
state. and with the superior advantages of
your beautiful capitol city.
We know something Of the benevolent
institutions of your state so honorable to
its people. We can see this prosperous and
growing university, and the beginning of
an observatory there, as we are told, thanks
to the enlightened hberality of a citizen,
Gen. Washburn, who has the good fortune,
as well as the wisdom, to see that his public
benefactions are properly distributed IN his
lifetime.
When I started upon this visit to the
northwestern states, to be present, as [
knew [ should be, at several agricultural
and some of the mechanical fairs of this
part of the United States = organizations
established in the interest of the material
prosperity of the country it occurred to
me that, if it were possible, | ought to try
to say something that should advance and
promote the material prosperity of the
country, not expecting, not even hoping,
that much could be done by any words of
mine; but it did occur to me, that after five
years of business stagnation and depression
the country, the time had come
when words of encouragement to give in
creased confidence to those who already have

BURDENS LIFTED FROM THE PEOPLE.
Now, my friends, on this general sub
Ject, my occupations have naturally led me
to consider the condition of the Government
and of the burdens which, by reason of the
Government, rest upon the capital, the bus
mess, and the labor of the country; and. if
| could demonstrate to the people of these
States that, Notwithstanding the depression
of the times, these burdens have been made
lighter and lighter during these years since
the close of the war, 1t seems to me that it
would be doing a useful thing; and there
fore invite you to attend for moment upon
course of remarks which | pursued at st.
Paul and at Minneapolis, and to which
shall add something not said there, bearing
upon the general proposition that there has
been great improvement and great progress
IN lifting burdens from the people In the
last thirteen years, and especially IN the five
years since the panic: and IN doing this, my
friends, do not misunderstood mel am
not here even Ito refer to what has been
done in that way during the short period of
the administration which was inaugurated
In March, 1877. The most of what has been

Il WOMANIN THE CASE.

A Serious Shooting Affair at Collingwood
Meeker County, on Saturday Last--A
Tickle Female the Cause of the Trouble.
Gentlemen arriving in this city last even
ing by the St. Paul & Pacific train, bring
the information that on Saturday afternoon
last, shooting ARRAY occurred in Colling-
wood, Meeker county, whereby one of the
participants was very seriously injured. It
appears from the statements made by the
parties above referred to, that a man named
Milton Forder entered the Touring mill of
Pendergast at Collingwood, and had a diff
Guilty with the miller whose name is Oakley.
From words they soon got to blows and
finally clinched. In the encounter, Oakley,
who is a small wiry little fellow, soon
'got away with his larger and
stronger antagonist, and it is reported,
pummeled him very badly. After being al
lowed to get up, Forder, the large man, sud
denly drew a revolver and shot Oakley
through the leg, the ball passing down the
leg and lodging in the knee. Parties hear
ing the fracas rushed in in time to prevent
Forder's shooting a second time, and soon
disarmed him.
The difficulty, it is reported, grew of some
complications relative to grass widow, a
sister of Forder, with whom the latter sus-
pected Oakley was too intimate for the vel
fare and integrity of one of the most i'm
portant canons of the decalogue. The wo-
man had, it further appears, but recently left
her husband, and the brother seems to have
thought and held Oakley responsible for this
erratlc freak of the vacillating and tickle
female. Hence the fracas.

THE SMITH MURDER.

Verdict OF the Jury of Inquest--A Father
fn-law and Two Brothers-in-law HELD to
Answer the Charge of Murder.
The GLOBE of Sunday morning contained
an account of the mysterious shooting on
Friday night last at Wilder Station, six miles
west Of Window, of Geo. T. Smith and of
his death - hours thereafter from the effects
of wounds in the head, neck and abdomen,
caused by buckshot. The shooting it will
also be recalled was done through the win
dow-the fatal missiles doing their vengeful
work while the unfortunate victim was en-
gagged in reading a newspaper, after his
family had retired.
1t now appears that the jury of inquest
did not render verdict until Sunday, when
the following was rendered: We, the jury
of inquest over the body of G. F. Smith, be-
ieve Geo. F. Smith to have met his death by
a gunshot fired through his window at
8 o'clock, Friday evening, Jan. 25th, and
that the gun was in the hands of Byron j.
Greenman, and that @. w. Greenman and
Edward Greenman were accessories to the
crime.
GLOBE reporter having met last evening
a gentleman from that section who is con-
versant with the men and things in that 10
cality, CLEANED some further information
relative to the affair, which may be of inter
est. G. w. Greenman who, as appears
above, has been held as an accessory to the
murder, is the father-in-law of the deceased,
and Byron J. and Edward are his sons. All
three parties are under arrest and were to
have had their examination yesterday after
noon. The gentleman also states, that as
far as he could ascertain, the evidence
against them was not direct nor positive
though public opinion seemed tc
point strongly towards them as the authors
and instruments of the bloody deed. Why
this feeling should have so strongly mani
tested itself, is more than the gentleman
could readily account for inasmuch as nei-
Their of the three, asfar as ht
knew, had ever violated the law o.
borne the character of men who would bt
likely to imbrue their hands in humane
gore, what evidence was developed at The
preliminary examination of the accused yes
terday, he of course was unable to state, bu
of one thing he was certain and that wa
that public feeling pointed strongly agains
the family.
