HEDUNN COUNTY OUTLAWS.

The Dunn County News brings details
of the pursuit of the Williams brothers.
It appears that the desperadoes have been
seen several times since the pursuit began
but usually by women or children. One
of the chief facts-aside from the reports
of those who have seen the murderers-
leading to belief that the pursuers were
on the right trail, was the finding of the
carcass Of steer that had been killed the
night before, and an pound chunck of
meat cut out of its flank; also traces of
fire where the meat had been cooked. The
News says: "The latest report is that the
Williams were seen in q thicket on the
Eau Gale river, near the mouth Of Cady
Creek, by two children. They ran home
and told their mothers and the two Wom-
en- went with them and also saw the men.
A Mr. Howard, husband of some of the
women, mounted his horse and rode to
Sol Fletcher's camp of the pursners in
that vicinity and squad of men hasten
ed to the spot. The outlaws had left the
thicket and plunged into the woods about
twenty rods distant. Their tracks were
easily seen and the footprints made by
the one wearing q moccasin was discover
ed. If this proves to be reliable the out
laws are doubtless working back to their
old haunts at Hersey. This will change
the base Corporations from Eau Gale to
a poiat further north, at the mouth OF
Cady creek. The old stage road from
Menominee to Brookville should be close
Iy picketed to prevent the bandits from
going north. If they can be definately
located and there is sufficient force in the
field, there is yet fair prospect to cap
ture them. During the entire chase the
outlaws have had great advantage over
the pursucrs. The forest is so vast in
extent and its thickness SO impenetrable
that they could desire no better hiding
place. They are familiar with the paths
and roads and the nature Of the country
will enable them to elude their pursuers
without much difficulty. If they are
found it will be by accident rather than
by any concerted action. Men could not
be more untiring, presistant and vigilant
than the party in pursuit have been, but
the odds are heavily against them. Still,
we are not without hope that we shall
be able to chronicle their capture next
week.

AFTER a contest of ten weeks the leg
islature of New York has selected men to
represent the Empire State in the L. S.
Senate in place Of Conkling and Plat.
E. G. Laphom was elected to fill the UNI
expired term of Roscoe Conkling Thnrs,
day afternoon, July Dist, by the
unanimous vote ofthe republican mem
bers. Warner Miller was elected to fill
the other vacancy the week before. Conk-
ling and Plat are now retired to private
life and two republicans who are in SYM
pathy with the administration will fill
their places in the councils of their ma
tons. Elbridge G. Lapham, who has
been chosen as Conkling's successor, is a
citizen of Canandaigua, in Central New
York, is 81 years of age, and has been a
member of Congress for six years. His
term as Senator will expire March 4th,
1885. The term of Warner Miller, his
colleague, who takes Platts place, will
expire March 4th, 1887. He also is a
member of the lower house.

E. G. TrIlfE, of Kenosha, and Ole (.
johnson, of Beloit, are making a vigor-
Gus canvass for the nomination of Secre-
tary of State on the republican ticket.
Both have got up electrotypes Of their
faces, and are having the cuts inserted
in papers, together with all the endose-
ments they can rake and scrape from ev-
cry direction, They are both good men,
both did good service for their country in
the army, and both would fill the posi-
ton creditably. but they show themselves
somewhat boyish in parading their coun-
tenances before the public in cheap
newspaper cuts. Neither of them look
very much better in the newspapers than
the average patent medicine man, who
thinks his overwhelming brow inspires
the public with confidence in his cura-
tive powers.

GAMBLING WHEAT DEAIS.-The

GAMBLING WHEAT DEALs.-The SUI
preme Courts of both Michigan and
Wisconsin have both sat down heavily
on the business of gambling in wheat

others against Leavitt, decided at the
June term Of our supreme court, the
complainant had supplied $4,000 with
which to force up the price in Detroit,
and cause q Corner" thus compelling
those who had contracts to fill, or who
must purchase wheat for legitimate
consumption, to pay more than would
be naturally required Having lost 70
per cent. of the amount in this specula-
ton the complainant brought suit to re-
cover his money. But the court decided
that dealers who manipulate the market
in order to bring about unnatural fiuctu-
atoms in price are engaged III the plain
est AM worst kind of produce gambling,
and come under the censure of the law
of the land. Such contracts cannot be
enforced and if parties see fit to invest
their money in Options they must get
it back by other than legal measures.
The Wisconsin supreme court in the
famous case of Barnard against Back

THE MCPHERSON riday
at Clyde, Sandusky, Ohio, was unveiled
a bronze statue of James Birdseye Nc
Pherson, near the spot where he was born
and reared and in the presence of $4,000
people. Ex.President Hayes presided
over the ceremonies Speeches were
made by him, by General Sherman,
General Force and Governor Foster. A
letter dated June 2Sth was read from
President Garfield, stating that it was
his intention to be present to honor the
memory of Mcpherson whom he loved
as comrade and admired as soldier.
Mcpherson died so young, so brave, SO
cultivated, and so attractive, that he has
a warm place in the affections of the
Union army as a soldier who gave up
his life for his country. Grants touch
ing letter to McPherson's mother immed-
lately after his death is justly regarded
as an historic gem President Hayes in
his opening address instituted comparis-
ons that some may deem extravagant,
but which are not so regarded by the
brave and true men who were acquaint-
ed with the extraordinary worth and
personal attractions of this gifted and
Justly lamented American hero. The
ex-President spoke thus feelingly:
His name will forever be found on the
shining roll of the worlds best loved
heroes. Neither Bayard, nor Sidney,
nor Nelson, nor Wolfe, nor any other
knight or hero of the old world in any
age has better titles to love and grateful
membranes than belong to him whose
grave here at his birthplace we are now
about to mark.
The statue is the work of Louis Ire
bisso, an Italian artist who resides in
Cincinnati.

WHEN the late Senator Carpenter, was
reelected to the Senate over Reyes and
Howe, after having enjoyed forced re-
cess OF four years, he had the photo
graphs taken of his twenty-five adherents
in the Legislature who stuck TO him from

initiate Carpenters example, and get the
group of twenty-seven ''stalwarts' who
voted for him until he was finally beaten.
1t might console him in his retirement.

ALL kinds Of burns. including scaldS
and sunburns, are almost imm-didt e y
relieved 10y the application OF solution
of soda to the burnt surface. 1t must
be remembered that dry soda will not
do unless il Is surrounded with "A cloth
moist enough TO dissolve il. This
method Of spTinkling it on and covering
it with a wet cloth is often the very
best. But it is sufficient To wash the
wound repeatedly with a strong solu-
tion. 1t would be well u keep IA bottle
OF it always on hand, made So strong
that more or less of il settles ou the hot
tom. This is " hat is called Sat urated
solution, and really such snIu- ion as
this is formed when the dry soda is
sprinkled ON and covered with a moist
ened cloth. Il is thought by some that
the pain of a burn is caused hy the hard
enirg OF the albumen of the flesh which
presses on the nerves. and that the soda
diSSolves the alhumen and relieves the
pressure. Others think that the burn
generates an acrid acid, which the soda
