-Vennor's predictions for the month
of August are as follows: 81 cannot but
think that August will be another month
of storms and unusual rainfall, with one
or two remarkably lew curves OF temper
allure. | expect snowfalls will be record
ed in extreme western and northwestern
sections, and cold rains at more southerly
stations shortly after the middle OF the
month October will be very similar, bu
of course colder.
The reduction of rates on postal Or
ders is a measure for which Congress
should be thanked. The money order
system IS popular and efficient, and this
Improvement will render it even more so.
Of late, the express companies have been
selling small money orders cheaper than
the postal department. The government
was therefore obliged to reduce rates IN
seIf-defense. The three-cent order for
sums not exceeding five dollars Will be a
great convenience.
Wisconsin farmers, in common with
+ho aoriculturalists of other states, are hav-
ing large numbers of cattle and sheep

borb-vire fences in storms. 1t is said

Yet these injuries almost invariably pro-
duce one or another form of tetanus, a
dangerous, spasmodic disease marked by
paroxisms of muscular contraction, which
may succeed each other at intervals for
two days or weeks. In acute cases death
is common from three to five days. In

II Sad Case of Suicide.

Mrs. Catherine Schiller, wife of Au-
gust Schiller, the well-known merchant
tailor, was found drowned last Sunday
merning at 61a o'clock in the cistern at
her residence in the Second ward. Mr..
Schiller and his wife occupied the same
room but separate beds, and about six
o'clock i'll the morning Mr.. Schiller no
ticed that Mrs. Schiller had left her bed.
This being nothing unusual as she was in
the habit of getting up before him and
proceeding with her household duties,
Mr.. Schiller paid no attention to the fact
but upon going through the house he
found that nothing had been done tow
ards getting the breakfast ready nor any
other signs of his wife's customary move
ments. Becoming somewhat alarmed
Mr.. Schiller instituted a search for her
whereabouts and looking into the cistern,
which is situated in the summer kitchen,
he discovered the dead body of his wife
floating in the water. Mrs. Schiller was
in perfectly nude condition with the ex-
ception Of having on stockings and a hair
net, her chemise, under skirt and night
dress being found hanging on nail in the
kitchen, showing that she had undressed
with elaboration. All the circumstances
went to show a premeditated and well
directed plan to commit suicide. For
three years past Mrs. Schiller had been
troubled more or less with alteration OF
mind but it was never considered that her
case was so bad as to result in her taking
her own life.
A coroner's jury, consisting ofW Hum
phrey, d. Mute, J. A. Hirsh, H. Meyer,
G.. Bergman and A. Wiggenhorn, was
summoned by Justice Halliger to take
cognizance of the case and after duly en-,
curing into the facts rendered YER
dict that the deceased committed suicide
by drowning while laboring under a fit
of insanity. There was no evidence OF
domestic or other troubles, Mrs Schif-
Aer's relations with her husband and
children being Of the most amicable
character Deceased was aged 81 years,
and had been kind wife and an indul-
gent mother. Her husband and children
are overwhelmed with grief over the sad
intervention of Providence which has be-
leiC them of wife and mother. Mrs
Schifler's funeral was held yesterday
afternoon from her late home.

Barn and Shed Burned.

At about eight o'clock yesterday norm
ing irame barn on the premises of f.
Rosenbaum on Fifth street took fire and
was destroyed. A large shed belonging
to w. Either adjoining the barn was al
SO burned. Through the efforts Of the
fire department the fire was kept from
spreading to the stables of G, Goette and
other property in the vicinity. The
barn was worth perhaps 500 and. Bit
ner's loss is about the same. Mr.. Ro3en-
baum was uninsured. The theory about
the origin of this ire is that it started
from some oys lighting matches as some
boys are said to have been seen running
from the barn short time before the
fire broke out. But for the usual coed
luck attending fires here and the prompt
and efficient efforts of the fire depar'
ment we might have been called upon to
record a much more serious loss to pre-
perty.

Death or LtgHt3liHg

Harsh, son of Jacob Harsh, of the town of
Milford, while assisting his father in the
barnyard was struck by lightning and in
stantly killed. The father was also con-
siderably stunned but soon recovered
from the shock. Young Harsh was struck
on the head, the electric current going
down one side of his body and tearing off
his boot A sad incident connected with
this deplorable accident is that the unfor-
tunate young man was engaged to be
married soon to daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

The Elmyra Free Press comments
thus upon w. ". Coles shows, which
are to exhibit in WATERFOWL, Wednes-
day, August 10th: There was a large
attendance at the performance this after
noon and the programme was one of great
variety. Mr.. Cole has introduced into the
show business some agreeable novelties
that are given nowhere else, and thus
has given his show character separate
and distinct from others of similar ma
ture. The clowns are not so noisy or
conspicuous as in most circuses, and
there is an air of decorum with the whole
affair that is pleasant.
Usually, the highly colored posters and
advance advertising sheets are greatly
exaggerated, but this one thing may be
said of Coles circus, what he announces
he will do, he does. Such a man, who
keeps entire faith with the public, de-
serves the great public reputation he has
got and the large patronage he constant
ly has.
There was balloon ascension at the
conclusion Of the parade, and it was one

The Del0sey-BrGgg Fight.

Dodge County is the great battle ground
of the contending forces A. K. Delaney
and E. S. Bragg these days. Both these
gentlemen are anxious for congressional
honors, Delaney for a first dose and Bragg
for continuance of the sweets of Con-
gressional life. So far as Dodge County
is concerned Delaney seems to fly the
pennant, his delegates thus far being sue
cessful wherever caucuses and conven-
lions have been held. The first assem-
bly, district sends John T. FIavin, of EN-
met, and John Steele, of Ashippun, to
West Bend convention to advocate De-
lanevs claims for Congressman from the
First District Of Wisconsin. T. T. Scion,
the Redwood postmaster, and J, Martin
go from the Fourth Assembly district for
the same purpose. How the pure and
infallible Dodge County democracy came
to deviate so pertinently from the prin-
ciple3 of civil service reform as to elect
postmaster, and one under a Republican
admin 'stration at that, a delegate to a
congressional convention, as in the c99e
of that popular official, Mr.. Scion, is be-
You'd the ken Of mortal man hereabouts.
Bragg possibly will challenge TOMS vote,
as he Bragg always proposes to run
matters very square taking the ques-
ton of rebel claims as a cri erion. Pan
dering to Greenbackers we will y moth
ing about. Delaney w have Dodge
solid and requires on'y five more votes
to nominate him. These his friends
claim he can ce7ily procure IN Washing
ton and Waukeeha counties.
