Three deaths have occurred in a:


Three deaths have occurred in as
7s~r- - nanGe IN tho family of :, Mrs,
Farrell, living IN the town OF Grand
Rapids, and from very much the same
causes. The last one occurring Thurs
day morning at Mr.. John Wagner's
in this city. Mrs Mary Farrell,
mother Of Luke and Daniel Farrell,
was on her way to this city Saturday
morning, previous to her death, and
when nearing Mr.. Wagner. she felt
cold chills passing over her so rapid
and continuous that she thought best
to stop in and have Mrs. Wagner give
her something to warm her up. She
went i'll and Mrs. Wagner had her re-
move her clothing and go to bed as
she deemed Mrs. Farrell quite dang
erously ILL., Notwithstanding Mrs.
Wagner's care and pains to alleviate
the old lady's sufferings, she gradually
grew more feeble and on Thursday
morning her spirit passed away. Mrs.
Farrell had taken cold while attending
the funeral of her son Luke Farrell,
short time previous, and this doubt
less helped materially in ending the
the old ladys existance. She had
been resident of this state since
the year 1856, and settled in the town
of Grand Rapids on her arrival here
where she was still living at the time
of her demise. Out of a family of
seven children, six boys and one girl,
they have all gone before her except
Mr.. Daniel Farrell, who is now in the
city, having been summoned by tele-
gram to come as his mother was dying.
He arrived just twenty minutes after
his mother breathed her last. Mrs.
Farrell was "A years old at the time
of her death. The funeral services
were performed at the Roman Catholic
church By the Rev. Beyerle after
which her mortal remains were laid
in their last resting place, witnessed
by large number of sympathizing
friends.

The editor of the Tomah Journal
seems to be of the opinion that Mr..
Kelley, the proprietor of the Sparta
Tribune. has started the paper simply
TO show his contempt and to be mulish
towards the Republicans, because his
services AS revenue collector were no
longer wanted. There may be
some truth in the opinion, but
VIC hope that Mr.. Kelley has not fallen
in grace simply because he has lost
his position as collector.

Fire at DOudVille~

Sunday last while the sky was clear
as at MONDAY, the air silent as the
grave and the sun vas gradually re-
ceeding from view in the western hor-
ZION, cry of FIRE rent the air, but few
men we're present to. respond. The
large force of men who were usually
at this village on Sunday were up the
line loading bolts for the firm Of Doud
Son 4 Co. After about six o'clock the
ffre,ma started up his engine in the
factory preparatory to the night run.
He had not fired up long before fire
was discovered in the uppermost point
of the main building of the factory
Cold perspiratiOn stood on the mans
face in an instant, as he realized the
helpless situation. He gave the alarm
but few there were in the little hamlet
to assist. There being no steam he
conld not work the pump. The fire
swept thro ugh the building like flash
and was soon in flames and consumed to
ashes. Men, women and children with
nerved hearts and hands, struck boldly
out to do their might toward saving
other property. Gradually the fire
spread its grasping hands and the store
which had some $1,000 worth OF
merchandise, and sheds under which
were hundreds of cords of valuable
stock, were engulfed in the scene of de-
struction, its lurid light livening the
deep blue sky with brilliant coloring.
1t was distinctly visible for miles
around. By the utmost effort of the
few present building belonging to
10. Burchell was torn down thereby
saving ten houses which otherwise
would have been lost. After working
for several minutes the stock Of gen
eral merchandise was partially saved.
Brave hearts they we're in Doudville
on this day as they fought the terrible
fire which was devastating all within It's
reach. A locomotive in Centralia
blew the fire signal and our fire engine
was taken up to Doudyille together
with number of men. It worked
we'll for about one hour, doing valuable
service, when the packing in the steam
chest was blown out and they were
compelled to stop work. Men with
pals did their utmost and worked till
morning saving nearly all the dwell
ings of the little burgh. The loss to
Messrs. Dond, Son & Co. is as yet un-
known but will aggregate SAC, 900 with
an Insurance of about $1,000. 1t is
not probable that they viii rebuild as
they have lost too heavily, and besides
this, they are running another factory
at Rudolph only few miles north of
Doudyille.

The Post Dispatch special from In

the arrival of Mrs. Frank James and
her five year old son, Jesse. She ar
rived on the train from the west, and
was met by her father, Col. Samuel
Ralston. This is the first time she
has been at her home since 1877, and
confirms the report that Frank Jam les

Much is being said at present about
who shall be our next Congressman
The ninth district is full of good men
for this important position but some Of
these men will certainly be disappoint,
ed. There are few men in the district
more worthy of representing it than
Hon. Chas. NJ. Webb, who is being
urged for the nomination. Mr.. Webb
would be satisfactory to our democrat
ic friends, throughout the Wisconsin
valley. Read what the Pilot (demo-
eraticy says:
"Hon. G. NJ. Webb was in town
Wednesday. His many Republican
friends are urging him as a candidate
for Congress. The Republican party
could not do better thing for them
selves than nominate Mr.. Webb, he
IS gentleman of fine ability, and if
we must have Republican congress
man, we know of no man in the dis
trict we would prefer to Mr.. Webb.

substitute for Black walnut.

Back walnut has disappeared in wo-
thirds of the Union, in which it was
once plentiful. First Ohio and Indiana
were stripped, then Kentucky and Ten
nessee were cleaned up, and the enormous
advance in the price of this wood dur
ing the past three years attestit its scarcity,
while parties of men who are going
through the states whose trees are gone,
pulling up stumps to be used for veneers
Show how difficult it has proved to be
TO find substitute for this wood, with
its even grains, dark finish, and freedom
from warpiug. Cherry stained black
has been tried, but no stain lasts, and it Is
worth noticing that Bouille, the great
est master Of cabinet work that ever
lived, whose desks sell now for thou
sands Of dollars apiece, utterly refused TO
work in cherry and preferred to deal
patiently but for all time with the great
difficulties of ebony. Until the young
walnut groves, which are being planted
in all directions, begun to furnish sup
ply, however, some substitute must be
found, and one Is offered, il is claimed,
in the bluegam tree of the South. Its
trunk Is often hollow; but its branches
afford boards, of suitable size, and
once stained this lumber is said to work
well. Another substitute, whose first
extensive and careful mention is in the
English legation reports, is suggested
in ''straw lumber" A report just pub
lished on the subject by the British
government says that this is unques-
tionably admirably adapted for joiner
work, aud can be sold at one-half the
price Of walnut. The supply Of this
material, made by pressing straw in
molds with cement, is practically mex
haustible. A ton of straw will made L.

stnunent received palpable injury,
and had 10 be taken to Vuillaume, the
lannon's maker aud repairer Of vfolinA

Iaume not only mended it--ss the story
goes-but made an exact fac simie OF
It, taking both to the Italian vlrtuoso
with the remark that the TWO mstr1-
ments, lying side by side In ms iaoors-
tory, had puzzled him as to their iden.
tity. The dismayed musician seized nrst
one than the other, played upon ootn,
and carefully examined them, together
and apart, and ended by exclaiming In
distress that he could not decide which
was his own. He strobe about the
room, wild, ecstatic, and in tears-faith
and fury alike struggling for the mas
terry in him, till the honest Partisan,
overcome by the sight Of grief and
bewAderment so genuine, and never
from tie first intending to deceive his
client, asked him to keep both violins

ton, at the same time pointing out the
sham Guarnerius, for which he begged

new violins may be made to look and
speak as well as old ones? 1t would APP
pear, indeed, that a great maker-al-
most as rare q parsonage as great
player-can, by dint Of scientific skill
and industry, so thoroughly initiate an
old violin OF the Cremona, or any other
school, that counoisseurs Of the highest
reputation are ut loss to discover the
difference. In this way, too, IL is said,
a scientific man can initiate gold, and
so manufacture the precious metal as to
compete with nature herself. But at
what cost? Attwenty times the cost OF
the actual gold if dug out OF the earth.
So with yiolins Of the purest tone and
fabrication. 1t is easier to find Strsdi.
varius at sale or an old curiosity shop
than to find a workman able to make
one of equal value, or, having made 1t,
to part with 1t on moderate terms. But
there are doubts as to the truth OF the
Vuillaume story. When 1t Is proved
that the gridiron legend is correct, then,
and then only, will every one believe
that the story of the false Guarnerius is
founded on fact.
