To THE EDITOR:

4 perusal of the proceedings in the
'Russ Wheeler" trial, just concluded in
Milwaukee, strikes the country reader as
peculiar, novel and new, to those not of

kindred pursuits ana occupation, met to

/ OF the largest hotel in Milwaukee. Both

and shoots the other through the heart.

the sight OF loved ones s.nd the gaze of
the public. Then the stern hand of the
law, so called justice, arraigns the muir
dCrer, who comes up to the bar (of so
called JUSTICE and without attempting to
deny the Charge OF shooting, iE5tifes his

streets OF the city on its way to the scenic
beauties of the Rapids. In outward APP

euligrant wagon which had withstood the
fury Of the elements, and a circus tent in
which is exhibited the bearded woman. 1t
had allthe hues Oft the rainbow and was dec
GRATED with fantastic figures, traced by the
finger Of chance and lacquered with the
dnpplngs from caves of moss covered
roofs. 1t had the LONELINESS Of an east
ern idol, the eccentric movements Of a
hwalloW, the unsymmetrlcai proportions
of the dodo and the tremulous movement
which predicted catastrophe similar to
that which wound mp the eventfuI career
of the zone Hoss Shay.
1t bore the dust Of many roads and
the marks which time sets on inani-
mate objects as well as on animate. From
the restless manner Of the driver and the
many anxious looks which he cast at the
occupants of what, from its antiquity
might be Noah ark, an observer could
not help believing that for that Jehu
''there WIS naught but care on every
hand. The horseG we're such as Apollo
might have used on his chariot and served
to more fully set forth the sorry appear
ance of the ark. Such nags rs Pe.ruohio

Katherine would have been more in
keeping with that part of the outfit on
which the thoroughly intimidated driver
was perched. But man looketh on the
outside; the Lords curiosity is more
penetrating. More sparkling Wit, bon
mots, spicy conversation, able-bodied
laughter and humorous comment eUana-

Yesterday We were in a state akin TO
Information, and consequently were una
bic to taste the pleasures of the picnic
which the city of Ianitowoc took in as
one man. In this emergency We depu-
ted Young lady Of literary tastes and
obserYant habits to take notes OH the
affair and report proceedings. We pro-
ceeded to CLEAN the facts which we We're
confident her acute observation had not
failed to con. Five minutes painstaking
inquiry, elected the following volumin-
GUS data:
Oht!it!i Ohl!tI!!! Oh!!!I!!
Exclamation points gave out here. There
are left in the manuscript just four sticks
of '.ohs" with exclamation points innum-
cradle. Let the readers fancy supply
them, Printer deyil.) From such par
oxysmal CALCULATIONS we found it diff
cult to give detailed account of the
picnic though they furnished reliable
basis for its general features.
Five coaches and four platform cars
were used to transport the eco picnickers
to the Park Of euphonious name on the
banks of the swift-rolling Fox. Two
hours were spent on the road to Appleton,
but these passed pleasantly ms the tedium
OF the Journey was relieved by converse
ton, jest and song. Having arrived at
Telulah, the party disembarked and pro
oeeded to enjoy themselves as only per-
sons can who leave every disposition to
grumble at slight inconveniences, behind
| them. The natural beauties of Ielulah
the contents of well filed baskets and
congenial companionship made the day
pass pleasantly. Many availed them
selves of the opportunity offered by the
river for a sail. Others took carriages
and looked into the sanitary condition
and internal arrangement of the city,
second only to Madison for beauty, and
to none for enterprise.
The party reached Manitowoc about
P. NJ. feeling chat day had been pass
ed pleasantly, and grateful to the rail
road officials for their many courtesies.

THE jury, in the trial of Russ Wheeler,
fer the murder Of Thomas Henderer,
brought in a verdict of mansiaughter IN
the fourth degree. The defense moved
the court for new trial and asked fer a
suspension of judgment until the motion
was disposed of. The punishment for
the crime of which Wheeler was found
guilty, is Imprisonment in a state prison
for two years or in a county jail not ex-
ceeding one year. or by fine not exceed
ing $1,000, or by fine and Imprisonment.
\ great deal of surprise is expressed at
the verdict, every one being confident OF
an acquittal. No matter what the char
aeter Of Henderer, it would seem that
Wheeler deserved some punishment for
his crime.
