ner personally, having held official re-
lations with him during his admins
tration of the State Department. gives
the Republican nominee for State Sen.
ator the following hearty and well.
merited endorsements:
The proceedings OF the republican
convention for the senate district OF
which Eau Claire county constitutes a
part are published in this paper. The
nomination of the Hon. Hans B. War.
ner, of Ellsworth, Pierce county, will
be applauded by the people of the en-
tire district, as well as by the repub.
lican party. HIS election, even in this
epoch of political disintegration,
should not be a question of doubt, nor
do we believe it is doubtful. When
gentlemen of Mr.. Warmers familiarity
with the affairs of thu state, coupled
with his character for fidelity, integ-
rity and impartiality in the discharge
or public duty, can be induced to par
ticipate in the making of our laws,
the good citizen owes it to himself to
contribute to their peferment. AS
secretary of state, Mr.. Warner earned
an enviable reputation for conscien-
tious and Industrious devotion to duty,
which should commend him to the
confidence and gratitude of the peo-
pie. The state senator to be chosen
this fall will hold his Office for four
years,--a hong period for the exercise
of the law-making power for an intel
ligent and progressive people. That
Mr.. Warner will, if elected, honor the
sacred trust, and acquit himself ac-
ceptably to the enterprising and thrift.
ty people of the large and important
district which he will represent, his
past official conduct furnishes ample
guaranty. Let every republican of
the district, in particular, and every
other good citizen who desires honor
able and intelligent legislation. make
the support of Mr.. Warner a personal
duty, and his majority may be worthy
of the man and creditabje to the coun-
ties of Eau Claire, Pepin and Pierce.

STATE BOUNDARY LINES.


The New L,sz.- Monuments That Separate
New York from Ponnsylvsnis.
Elmira Advertiser.
The dispute between the two states over
the boundary line between New York and
Pennsylvania, as is we'll known, was finally
settled by both states accepting the old
boundaries, fogthe principal reason that
many farm limo fences formed the bounda-
ries and much labor was required to change
tax assessments. etc. But tho old boun-
Diary was i'll understood, it being just 100
years since the boundary monuments were
erected, and many of them were broken,
covered up or lost sight of. For the pu, =
pose Of renewing the monuments a corps
Of laborers under charge OF Engineer
Major II. w. Clark. Of Syracuse, was set
to mark some time since Oh the most
easterly point where the two states conc

Tho AtrOcIOlis Crueltles OF Missionaries In

Tho Atroclous Crueltles OF Missionaries In
Africa.
Newspapers published on the west coast
Of Africa contain reports Of tho hearing of
charges against w. F. John, Phoebe John,
John Williams. and K.zia Williams, OF
tlogginy girl so cruelty as to cause her
death. John and Williams were described
as agents and schOolmasters of the church
missionary society at Onitsha, on tho
Niger. The female prisoners woro their
wives, and the girls, whose i'll treatment
led to tho accusation, wero both persons
whom the prisoners had ransomed. The
alleged u;fanse took p!a::.s IS far back as
1877, when both girls ran away from their
employers, but were jrough: back. As {,
punishment for their escape they wery
taken to the prisoner Williams house,
when tho prisoner John, having obtained
q piece Of rope. they were stripped
naked aud tied back to back. The
allegations are not only that the
two male prisoners savageiy tlog-
ged the girls with their own hands, but
that number of natives were ordered tO
keep up the punishment, which they did
with guava whips, canes, ropes and other
instruments. Not content with this, the
male prisoners ordered some pepper to bc
brought, ami rubbed it into the bleeding
wounds Of tho girls as they lay upon the
ground, helpless and rolling about in
agony. This was in the morning and tho
girls were left lying cn the ground under
the broiliDs sun during tho whole day
without shelter or aid Of any kind. They
wnr" again barbariously treated three
ia> :, later, and on the following morning
orc of tho girls died. Truc bills have been

thu pressure is conveyed to the leeward

extreme buOyancy keeps the deck of the
little yacht almost level. These fonts can
be shipped and unshipped with the utmost

having more ballast astern and by length

Mr.. Wilson declare that the boat steers
oasily-is, in fact, very sensitive to her
helm-that she goes close to tho wind,
that she is swift in the lightess puffs and
