NEW SHOOTING GROUND FOR
CHICAGO SPORTSMEN.

Fred w. Peck has recently closed the
transfer of 90 acre tract of land upon
Lake Koshkonong, known as the Lake
View property. 1t is located upon the
east shore of the lake, 31a miles from
Koshkonong station. It has third of
mile of lake front, and contains one of the
best shooting grounds upon this famous
lake. The shore has an elevation of 20
feet above the water-tbe highest point
on the lake 1t lies directly opposite
Black Hawk Island, the headquarters of
the Black Hawk club, where hunters of
the whole country congregate during the
duck hunting season. Mr.. Peck is con-
fident that Koshkonong Lake is the most
natural and the most accessible of all duck
hunting grounds in the west; the lake is
a vast field of wild rice and celery, and
all varieties of this fowl feed here in great
abundance. His object in securing this
property on which is hotel Of thirty
room capacity, is to open it as a head
quarters of Chicago sportsmen during
duck shooting. Mr.. Peck considers it a
valuable piece of property, which it GER
tainly is Ducks are already plentiful
on this lake, and Mr.Peck and his friends
are upon the grounds taking hand in
the sport. We also learn that Fl. FL.
Schufeldt hes about decided to dispose of
his mem bership in the Cav Cav Club,
and transfer his fall Shooting from Pucka-
way to Lake NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

another campaign is to be undertaken
against the Republican party with any
hope of success, it must be by one party
organization, standing upon common
platform, and animated by a common
purpose. The battle here was fought on
the side of the opposition without any as
sistance whatever from outside the state,
and without money enough to pay the
legimate expenses from day to day.
The Democratic Congressional Commit
tee ignored the state entirely, and seemed
to be hopelessIy inefficient for the dis
charge of the duties with (which it was
intrusted. Since the triumphant cleo
ton of Samuel j. Tilden six years ago,
and the fraud by which he and the peo-
pie were cheated out of the results of
their victory, the National Democratic
party has been without leader of recog-
nized ability, and the defeat of the par
ty two years ago can be traced to the loss
of the matchless leadership and wise guild
ance which had once led it to victory,
but which it rejected after having been
defrauded of the fruits thereof. The
Democratic party of the country needs to
plant itself once more upon the platform
which it stood upon when the people en-
dorsed it by quarter of million major
ity six years ago. Honest administra-
ton, economy in the public expense, rev.
enue reform these should be made the
cardinal principles of the party, to which
its members or representatives should be
held to strict account. The opposition
to the Republican party in Maine should
unite upon platform embodying these
principles, and prepare to resent COM
pact front to the enemy in the Presiden-
tial campaign of 18S4,-Bangor, { Ne.)

TAMMANY RESTORED.

The New York Democratic State Con-
vention last week nominated Grover
Cleveland, Mayor of Buffalo, for governor.
A compromise was affected with Boss Kel-
ly and his sachems for the purpose Of Sc
curing harmony A fair proportion of
the Tammany delegates were admitted
and after this John Kelly ran matters
pretty much to suit himself 1t is IN
derstood that Cleveland was Kelly's first
choice. Thus the New York democracy
have made peace with Tammany and
John Kelly is boss of the democratic par
ty in the Empire State, distasteful as
.this idea may be to the average demo-
crat. With a united democracy to fight
the New York Republicans will proba-
bly, cease their personal chickering's and en-

The anything to-beat-Williams crowd
of political rag-tags atDelavan yesterday,
produced John Winans, of GAINESVILLE, as
an independent candidate for member of
Congress. Winans realizing the fact that
he had no business running against the
Republican nominee as democratic can
didate pure and simple, sought refuge in
the independent dodge to cover up
his cloven foot of Bourbonism. But this
effort to defeat Mr.. Williams, or even re-
duce his vote, will prove futile.

DIR COUNTY TICKET.

We believe that the nomination OF
ticket for county officers that it lies in
the power of the Republicans to select at
Jefferson next Saturday, will meet with
the hearty support of the voters of Jetfer-
son county at the next election prospect
i've of party. There should therefore
be thorough and careful canvas of the
mutation between now and Saturday in
order that the delegates may come to-
gether with a comprehensive idea of what
is the best thing to be done relative to
nominations. Justice to ourselves de-
mands good ticket and we should place
such an excellent one in the field that
the democrats even would be given
no ether excuse for not supporting 1t
than that of blind party zeal.

VISITING GOOD FARMS.

The many fairs that are being held in
various parts of the country are doing
much towards advancing far more en-
lightened agriculture. We have already
pointed out some of the advantages to be
gained by careful study of the exhibits,
and the Importance of taking an active
part in these fairs. Another suggestion
to the same end is here offered, which, if
acted upon, will supplement the work of
the fairs, and do much good to all pro-
gressive farmers to visit yearly some of
the best farms in the county, and there
gather practical lessons in improved ag-
riculture. There is no method Of learn
ing about any farm subject equal to be-
ing on the farm where it is practiced, and
having it explained by the one who has
made it success. 1t may be the way
CT feeding stock, or plan of preserving
roots, ensilage or other fodder. A farm
er may contemplate system of under
drains for his wet fields; in this case it
would be best to make a visit to some
farmer who has thus drained his farm,
and gain from him many valuable hints
and suggestions in this important work.
Such visits not only give new ideas, but
are wholesome recreation, and many a
farmer who at the first thought may say,
81 cannot afford itr' will find by exper-
fence that he has spoken too soon. Take
a day to go and visit some one of the best
farms in the county, and this will open
the way for further visits and wider
knowledge of the best methods of farm
ing.-American Agriculturist for Oc-

THE Sixth district Republicans have
nominated Richard Guenther as candi-
date for Congress The democracy have
selected Andrew Haben as their stand
ard bearer, and the Probibitionists come
up to the scratch with Theodore D. Ka-
mouse as an aspirant for Congressional
honors. Mr. Kanouse is playing the role
of right bower to Haben hoping to divide
the Republican vote sufficiently to allow
the democratic candidate to slip into the
seat in the House of Representatives,

that the cause of temperance reform will

DRYING FRUIT.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman writes: 1t has been my object
during the part two years to save the fall
len apples 1t is a shame to see the guam
tity of apples that lie and rot under our
apple trees annually. If properly evap-
grated they will bring an average price
of ten cents per pound. [ say properly
evaporated." 1t does not cost as much
to put fruit through evaporators as to SUM-
dry. If rainy or cloudy weather occurs
when in process of drying by sun, much
fruit is lost. If the fruit has to lie out
over night on scaffolds, as it almost al
ways does, the moth deposits her egg and
and wormy fruit is the result. More time
and greater cost always result in an at
tempt at sun-drying as compared with
machine evaporation. 1t has been only
a secondary matter with me. At times
nothing is done. In rainy weather |
push it. As a result had last autumn
$500 pounds of evaporated apples packed
in boxes of 80 pounds each. There was
not worm or a sign of a worm. 1t was
so clean that the good housewife never
thinks of washing the fruit. In fact,
to wash it would be imprudent, as the
whole outer coat of the apple slice is
covered with apple sugar, formed in the
process of evaporating. [ have no troub-
lie to get 10 cents per pound for this nice
fruit. Better than canned fruit; no nau-
seous mould about it. A 50-pound box,
only the size of bushel measure, repre-
sents ten bushels of green apples, and
can be cheaply transported to any part
of the world. Now here is $3.50 worth
of nice fruit that, except for the evapor-
alton, would have gone to waste. 1t was
all made from the early-ripening, falling
apples. Anything that would keep was
rot evaporated The sum obtained rep
resents SO much added to the apple crop

\ DEMOCRATIC VAIL FROM
MAINE.

But while we believe that the election
in the State was largely influenced by
the use Of money, we 90 not attribute
the result entirely to that cause. The
system of running a double-headed cam
paign. with two distinct organizations
opposed to one solid and compact party,
has been tried once too often. 1t divides
responsibility, makes thorough, systema-
tic work practically impossible, and rem
ders even superior numbers powerless

Frontier Methods.

A letter in the CdledOnidn in April
gave some impressions of the crude
state of things in Ration, New Mexico.
and its lawless people. A late number
of the Guard newspaper, printed in
that town, says that the town is "quiet
and peaceable,n and then recites the
events of a recent evening. The Wal
lace sisters were giving dramatic en-
tertainment, when pistOl-shots were
heard in the street. Earlier in the day
a noisy shooting had resulted only in a
man or two wounded, and the audi
ence now showed no haste to leave the
Wallaces, who were, as the Guard
says, ''acting i'll very tragical man
ner;r but as the din increased men
began to 90 out, and finally the seats
were deserted. 1t was found that the
sheriff, a gambler, magistrate and a
large aggregation of citizens were par
taking of the festivities, and in a few
minutes four dead men were living
around and several gentlemen wore
away bullet holes of "A minor character

An unhappy life closed Sunday even
ing in the death at Springfield, ILL.,, of
the widow of President Lincoln. For
some years past her health has been
poor and her mind at times under a
cloud, so much so that it was necessary
to subject her to restraints. On Satur-
day she suffered shock of paralysis.
Mrs. Lincoln was the daughter of Rob
ert S. Todd, a prominent Lexington
(Ky.) man, and was married to Mr.
Lincoln i'll 1912. She was of course
mistress of the White House during
those terrible years of the war which
developed the greatness of her hus-
band, but never was she the helpmate
and wise counselor to Mr.. Lincoln that
Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Garfield were to
their husbands in more recent years.
She was, however, a woman of some
political cleverness. In her early life
she involved Mr.. Lincoln in an "affair
of honor" with State Auditor Shields
of Kentucky by the writing of satirical
articles in the local papers, but the
trouble was settled without a hostile
meeting. Mrs. Lincoln has been for
some years past beneficiary of the
government. Her son, Robert Lincoln,
is man of sterling qualities, recogniz-
ed by President Garfield, who made
him his secretary of war.

The Second Congressional Dis
IriCt.

Since our last issue, the political
prospect in this District has materially
changed. Prior to that time, Judge
Poland was not candidate for the
Republican nomination for Congress,
except that large number of his
friends i'll various parts of the District
had urged him to become candidate
and had assured him that he would re-
ceive cordial support if he would con-
sent to the use of his name. To all
such friends he had replied that he was
not a candidate, but could not in adj
vance decline a nomination that had
not been rendered him. But the ex-
pressions in Judge Poland's favor have
become so numerous and urgent, and
the pressure to that end has been so
general, and has come from so many
different sources, that he has not felt
at liberty longer to disregard the wish
cs of his friends, and has authorized
the announcement that he is candi-
date for the nomination.
While Judge Poland's candidacy is
almost entirely the result of the urgent
wishes of other parts of the District,
his own town and county are very
strongly in his favor. The appear
ances are that he will receive the near
ly, (if not entirely,) unanimous support
of Caledonia and Essex counties in the
nominating convention.

The Second District.

We infer from what the various pa
pers of the state have published in re-
gard to the matter that there has been
tacit understanding and acknOwl-
edgment that, Mr.. Tyler ont of the
field, the place fairly belongs to Gen
eral Circuit. He is at present serving
his first term, and unless eXtraOrdina-
ry reasons can be given for abandon
ing, few fair-minded men would con-
slider it just treatment to select another
candidate Barton Monitor.
The name which is most frequently
mentioned for Representative to Con
gress is Hon. Luke. p. Poland. This
feeling arises, of course, from his ac-
knOwledged ability as an able legisla
tor, and from the strong desire to be
represented by our ablest man. The
people do not need to be told who
Judge Poland is, or that he has a ma
tiOnal reputation. Notwithstanding
the circumstances attending his last
term in Congress, in this district, he
never sOured on his duties in that
body, but pressed on and greatly add
ed to his reputation up to the very
closing hours of his last term, much
to the honor and satisfaction of his
constituents at home Bellows Falls
Times.
BOUND TO THROW OFF BOSS RULE.
We believe the people of the second
district are determined to take the
matter of the choice of their candidate
out of the hands of any cliques or rings
into their own. We believe they are
not disposed to allow any fictitious
claims upon their free suffrage, but to
exercise independently their right to
choose only the best from among the
able men in the district. We know
that this feeling exists and that it is
expressed with fervOr that leaves no
room to doubt the interest and loyalty
of the people, Montpelier Watch
man.
For Gen. Grout it is to be said there
is no man mentioned as being prOmi-
nently in the canvass who would more
satisfactorily represent the district for
the next two years than would he, and
the claim that, under ordinary usage,
he should have IA reelection, is in his
favor, although, very naturally, that
consideration is not felt to apply with
great force in this end of the new dis
trict. For ourselves we should rather
see the vote of Windham county
thrown for GrOut in the convention
than for any other man who is now
avOwedly a candidate. For Windham
county it must be said, however, that
there is no concentration of sentiment
in favor of any one candidate, and we
therefore believe the best thing her
delegation can do is to go to the con
ventiOn entirely unpledged and I'M
trammelled, and ready to help nOmi-
nate the best man when the critical
moment arrives Brattleboro Phenix.
