Anybody is liable to make mistake
at times, but the man who goes ilto a
barber shop and walks up to an old
friend stretched out in a BARRIERS chair,
with his face covered with lather, and

more or less astonishea when total
stranger looks up and says he is '.Pret-
ty well, if it is all the same Such
iaistake occurred in a Grand avenue
shop the other day, and to smooth
matters over the barber told about an
affair that occurred in the Plankinton
House barber shop sometime ago, in
which conductor Clason paid for the
lobelia; lie said Clasen came into the
shop when he was shaving Hartman.

know from Adam, bat getting view
Of the rear elevation he thought it was

as Hartman opened his po"th to say

An Insane Man Found.

A man came into the Grand Rapids
House Friday night about supper time
and asked Dir. Dcssaint if he could
stay over night, saying he had no
money. Mr.. DeSsaint gave him bed
on a iodnge as his beds were all full
On Saturday morning he gave his
name as Peter Newman Haven and
acted strangely, rolling his eyes and
locking wild. He tried to cut some
wood in payment for his board but
soon came back into the house and sat
near the stove. Saturday night Mr..
D. had sheriff McCamley take the man
in custody as he appeared to be insane
and it was deemed best to take him in
charge. Accordingly he was taken to
the Court house and cared for. Sun
day morning Peter noticed he had not
removed his shoes to go to bed and he
questioned him about his apparent
lameness, having noticed he climbed
the stairs on his hands and knees.
Peter assisted him in taking off his
shoes and when he attempted to pull
off his stockings the flesh and skin
came with it. He was obliged to cut
the stockings entirely to get them off
when a horrible and sickening sight
met his gaze. The poor fellows feet
and legs were badly swollen and had
been frozen and become mortified being
black and sore, the flesh being in a
horrible condition. As soon as posi-
BILE Peter summoned medical assist
ance Drs. Witter and Mosher exam
ined him and decided the only hope Of
saving the mans life was to amputate
his feet, which was done that day
The poor fellow was a sad sight to be-
hold. Insane, friendless, homeless,
and both feet amputated midway be-
tween the ankle and knee. How sad
Dan CASTILLO was hired to take care of
the man, at the expense of the county
and he will now receive every care he
can wish. Monday he was removed
from the Court House to Castelio's
home. The man is described about as
follows; As near as can be learned his
name is Peter Newman Haven, height.
six feet, weight, 40 pounds, light
complexion, gray eyes and full beard,
slightly gray; pair of striped pants
and check shirt; two pairs Of socks
and rubber oycrshoes on his feet. He
is about 90 years old, speaks Of Hi
nois, Minnesota, and various places in
Wis. He gives no coherent account
of himself,

Glorious Kansas.

The temperance people of Kansas
have taken the bull by the horns, and
worsted him in a pitched battle where
both parties staked their all. Kan.
sas has passed the prohibitory amend.
ment to $4,000, and reelected Cover
nor St. John by a majority which is
decisive in settling the question
whether or not the state is to be
dominated by the liquor interest
There is a lesson in this which we
hope may not be lost upon Wisconsin.
This state we confidently believe, con-
tains a larger per centage Of temperance
people among her inhabitants, thar
any other state in the union, and 8
bold, determined movement along the
whole line will place the Badger state
by the side of Kansas. The only diff
Guilty We have to contend against, is in
getting the question before the people,
for when it dose get there, the embattl.
ed phalanx of the beer and whiskey
interest will be overwhelmed with the
votes ofthe long-suffering victims of its
oppression. In the legislature the
purchased members vote, not against
the principle itself, that they dare not
do, in the face of the enlightened pub
lie sentiment which has been obtained
but upon the pretext that it is danger
Gus to thinker with the constitution. y
This fimsy rOorbach has been shouted
in the ears Of honest legislators who
would not hesitate to do the justice of
complying with the popular demand,
were they not overcome with the
specious argument, until the cry has
become efete, and we predict that the
day is not far distant when the people
will have the opportunity of registering
at the polls their condemnation Of the
whole Ubiquitous business. Kansas
takes a proud step in the advance, and

The Madison State Journal has the
following in its last issue which will be
read with interest: The Sunday
Telegraph IS authority for statement
that Hon. Philetus Sawyer, of Osh-
kosh, has purchased the Milwaukee
Ne,os for $4,000, and proposes to
have it placed in the hands of a Re
publican newspaper syndicate repre-
senting his Senatorial interests, in
Guiding Hon. Horace Rublee, Of this
city, and DR.. J. L. Kaine, formerly
editor-in- chief of the Sentinel with
Lewis DUR, ex-assistant business
manager of the Sentinel, in charge
Of the business department. The
Sunday Telegraph asserts that about
$4,000 moro will be expended in the
Ne1os establishment to put it in run
ming order. Mr.. Rublee, it is asserted,
gives his time, but very little of his
money, to the new enterprise. In
connection with this report, the SIM
day Telegraph informs the public that
the best men on the Sentinel are fast
leaving it, and ''the old affair seems to
be tumbling to pieces under Murphy
