HAVANA. December 15.- Among
the various employees Of the govern

which Governor General Pendergast
came was a mulatto, appointed to
subordinate post in the new admins

their reluctance to sfn-t him TO asso-

The Eau Claire Trouble.

Ear CLAIRE, July 23.-The day has
been one of feverisn excitement in this
city. Governor Smith arrived here yes
terday and had a chance to see about
l.oo0 OF the strikers on parade At
the same time there were reliable re-
ports that the strikers had determined
to visit Chippewa Falls and stop the
Union Lumber company's extensive
mil, and half dozen smaller ones in
that vicinity, to induce the hands to join
them, and make a break for Knapp,
Stout 4 Cos mills at Menominee and
compel the men to quit work there. In
short, they had determined to compel
all of the mills in the valley to shul
down. In view Of this, and also that
great many of the men were anxious
to keep at work. and could not because
OF the interference of the strikers, it
was decided, after consultation with
many Of the leading lumbermen, to
bring several companies of the National
Guard here at the earliest possible mo
ment- The governor took immediate
steps to have two Madison, two James
vile, the Watertown, BelOit and Maus-
ton companies sent here.
This morning, when the strikers
learned that the governor had ordered
out the national guard, there was much
Indignation expressed by the leaders
and many of their dupes. Among the
strikers are many Who had army ex-
perience during the late war, and their
talk indicated that they could not be
frightened away, but when the COM
panic arrived here, the men wei

PrayerfuI PreperatiOn.

The Suns Washington special says of
Guiteau:
He declares he studied over the prob
lem for weeks prayerfullv and devout-
ly, and finally reached the conclusion
that he himself was the instrument Of
Providence to remove the president.
He protests that he had neither conf
dants nor accomplices in the affair, and
that he borrowed money with which he
bought the pistol from gentleman on
the plea that it was tC pay for his board.
The name of this gentleman he gave
to Col Corkhill. lie is republican
and respectable man, who could
have had no idea Of the use To which
the lo,lnwas to be put. The story
that on theday of the shooting
he jumped into hack and urged
the driver to 60 at full speed,
so that he would be iii time to
catch the president, lie denies. He
says he rose early and went down 70
the depot in street-car, and waited
calmly and patiently until the presi-
dent appeared. II shot TO KILL" he
said, "and not to wound or to cause the
president to suffer moments pain
more than was necessary. ] intended
to shoot rs many times at him as was
necessary to make his death immediate
and certain. / knew him to be good
man, and, had no doubt that lie would

He says that he had no personal re-
sentiment, and in explanation Of his
feelings against rebel, if ! should
see one hauling down the American
flag ] would shoot him dead" The
president, he SAID, WAS breaking down
the republican party. 1t was for the
good Of the party that he should die,
and he had been willing to take the
responsibility Of the act. He said We
once knew Dorsey, but has lost all re
spect for him since the star route dis
closures. He denounces Brady and
he says he hopes when Arthur makes
up his cabinet he will retain Postmast-
er General James and Atty. Gen.
McVeagh. In regard to himself he
SAYS he takes no concern. He pretends
to think when Arthur shall be installed
in the presidents Office he viii be lost

should they prosecute me?" he said.
This is a sample Of the style in which
he talks to those who visit him.

Of the ladies who happened to lie stand

pearing man and Il tidv-lo0king little
girl about - years of age came up
Bennett street, and IL was noticed that
the child was weeping while the father
was swearing AT Il furious rate. II seems
that the child had taken the drsnkcn
fathers pocket book for safe keeping,
AS lie was entering every drinking saloon

book The child replied, But father,
what will mother do for food for break

the house and remember, Gracie is i'll
and mother could not send for the
doctor, as she had no money. You
promised Gertie when she was DIVING
that you would not drink liquor again
1T this point the father completely
broke down and wept like child, and
kissed his little Mamie, and said; Yes,
dear, ! do remember. and ! will 90

dialogue ended there was many stout

armed and well drilled, commanded by
experienced officers, there was a sud
den change. 1t is expected now that
it will not be necessary to adopt harsh
measures, and it is likely that the men
who want to will resume work next
Monday, when most of the mills will
start up.
Governor Smith has issued proela-
nation calling upon all turbulent gath
erings to disperse. Three of the ring
leaders of the strikers have been ar
rested. There is great excitement in
the city, business being suspended.
Only one mill in the city is run
ming. The others expect to start
up next Monday. They can get men on
the old terms but it is doubtful if many
of the strikers will go hack. A large
number have already gone elsewhere,
and more will go. The strikers hold
meetings daily and their speakers ad-
wise them to keep within the bounds of
the law. The citizens are very quiet,
and there has been no serious disturb
ance since the strike begun. Gov.
Smith addressed large meeting in the
park, al . O'Clock, counseling obedience
to the laws. He informed the strikers
that the troops were here to protect
those who wanted to work, and not to
compel any 10 go back who did not

Army Worm.

Prof. W. A. Henry, in Madison Democrat
Eds. DEMoCRAT:-He Hearing itrumored
that the army worm had appeared in
the vicinity of Madison, few miles to
the south, | have attempted at ascer-
tain the facts in the case, and find no
cause for alarm on that score.
The statement, no doubt, started
from the appearance of a "worm" or
larya, which is injuring the sweet corn,
and may do harm, later, to the field
corn. This is the corn-worm, or Boil
worm, (Heiiotbis G5migerd) which often
brings havoc to the corn and cotton
fields, i'll warmer regions than ours.
In the south it is called the Boil
worm when found in the bolls Of the
cotton plant 1t is one of the worst
enemies of the cotton grower
In attacking corn the larva enters the
ear at the silk end, feeding first upon
the silk. and later upon the milky
grains of corn. Sometimes It Injuries
only few grains at the tip end of the
cob; often the whole ear is rendered
worthless.
The sweet corn now offered for sale
here in Madison, shows how the cater
pillar works, far better than | can de-
scribe it,
Corntields of southern Illinois, Ken
lucky and Kansas, have usually suffer
ed the most severely, and | can find no
record of much loss in latitude so
high as Wisconsin.
have not yet found any evidence
that field corn is suffering from the at
tack of this worm"
No remedies can be offered that are
Of avail.

Firm Butter without Ice

In families where the dairy is small
a good plan to have butter cool ard
firm without ice, is by the process of
evaporation. aS practieed IN India and
other warm countries. 4 cheap plan
is to get very large sized, porous,
earthen tiower-pot. with large saucer.
Half fill the saucer with water, set it in
triyet or light stand-such as used for
holding hot irons will do; upon this set
your butter; over the whole invert the
flower-pot, letting the top rim of it rest
in and be covered by the water; then
close the hole in the bottom of the
tiower-pot with cork: then dash water
over the fl wer-pot, and repeat the pro-
cess several times a day, or whenever it
looks dry. If set in a cool place, or
where the wind can blew on it, it will
readily evaporate the water from the
pot, and the bHtter will be as firm and
cool as if fr1m an ice-house.

A Boy In a Cyclone.

Ny son, Werner A. House, while on
the road from Atchinson last week, was
riding with a gentleman on horseback
about dusk Thursday evening, north
east Of Emporia, when the great cy-
clone struck them. He drove ahead a
few rods when he saw the man whom
he had left but few moments before,
killed by the terrible monster. The
horse was knocked to the ground and
killed. He rode TO a house where
some men had gathered to get from the
storm, and while in the house the roof
was taken of, but none of the inmates
harmed. He then went TO the barn for
protection, but that was blown one way
and another until he was forced to find
protection in q gutter. He said the
storm gathered in the heavens and
looked like great dark cloud in the
shape of a funnel, with the smallest
portion at the base, and as the storm
increased, it grew larger at the base.
He said trees boards, ETC., were flying
in the air. and he had all he could do
to keep out Of their way. He said that
what struck and split the man In two,
looked ike fire.-Goldes Gate.
