JAMES BUTLER sold his little schooner
to Captain Bundy of the Gospel Ship,
Glad Tidings. Never was there such a
conversion to holy use of bad timber
sicne the scales fell from the eyes of Saul
In old Damascus. Bundy doesn't know

glad things to the heather. Ed. Nash
was the go between in this matter where
holiness, incarnated in Bundy, and wick
edness exempliied by Butler, struck
hands and formed partnership. The
little vessel which knew Jim so long will
know him nc more forever. 1t will now
be religious vessel devoted to ali things
good and eschewing the evil. But think
of Butler in the light of missionary
Think of him building vessels designed

CAPTAIN BERLIN SNIFFIN is the latest
candidate for fraudulent honors. Snifin
is rather good looking quite vigorous and
for some time his friends generally have
been of the opinion that nothing in this
world would become him like getting
married. He pretended that he was
going to do what he ought to do, and
visited furniture dealers stores. First
he would cough in a bashful way and
then suggest that pretty soon he would
need some furniture. He was feasted
every day on cigars and the most costly
drinks, and kept steadily at work looking
over furniture. Soon the furniture
dealers began to suspect that they were
being victimized and Berlin wasn't asked
any more "to take something" Snifin
is too big for any two or three ordinary
men to undertake to lick. The furniture
men will catch him asleep and have
sweet revenge.

TIE old man Kohn still suffers. His

The old man Kohn still suffers. His
poverty and load of years would seem to
be full measure of distress; but when
the additional misfortune of the loss of
a leg is added, he is indeed deserving of
our pity. The man who thus crippled
! him is still unknown and no effort is
being made to discover him. If one
man should chance to call another liar
the dignity and peace of the State of
| Wisconsin would demand an instant law
suit. But an old man so years of age,
has his leg torn off and the perpetrator.
who didn't even have the heart to ask
the cid man the extent of his injuries or
offer any assistance, has not been called
to account. He is free and by the
immunity he enjoys is told practically
that he may continue his career of
| slaughter. The law offers old John
Kohn no redress for the terrible injury
he sustained, but If the same man called
him liar, the judicial machinery of the
county would be set to moving to mete
out adequate punishment for the terrible
offense. Old Kohn, without relative.
friend or a cent has his leg torn off on
public highway because he was not
quick enough in turning out of the road
to allow man with a heavy team an
unrestricted way, and he losses on what
! may we'll be called his death bed and no
one thinks of Furnishing the man who
brought him to this terrible strait.
JOHN KoHN died on Tuesday from the
effect of the injuries he received on the
road some three weeks ago. If ever an
inquest was made imperative from the
circumstances, if is in this case, and if
ever the duty of officers to bestir them
selves so as to discover the man who
committed the crime, called loudly for
performance, it is in the present CASE
No anti norton statement has been taken
and the old mans death will prevent
him from identifying the person who
killed him. So much is lost by not pro-
eeeding earlier. But it is not yet too
late. 1t is said the parties who came to
the old mans assistance when he was
eft in a helpless condition, know the
person whose criminal negligence re-
suited in the killing of fellow man, but
refuse to give information which will
lead to his arrest.
SINCE writing the above, we are in
formed that the district attorney has or
dered an inquest and has gathered facts
sufficient to warrant the making of an
arrest. Neither the sheriff nor district
attorney knew of the outrage until The
Pilot gave the news, and then they pro-
ceeded to investigate the matter. Every
one should give all the assistance posi-
bic in ferreting out the brute who thus
sent fellow man to the grave. Next
week we will give as full particulars as
possible in the hope that they may be of
assistance in bringing the guilty one to
justice.

PEOPLE seem to be very unreasoning.
A great deal of concern is felt because of
the oppressive taxes, and the difficulty
to get them reduced. But the people
seldom look to the cause. They seem to
think that light or heavy taxes rest en-
tirely with the assessor, the town board
and the county board. They forget that
there is just so much to pay, and that
the assessor or any officer whose duty it
is to apportion taxes can reduce the
amount. They rarely look at the unne-
cessary outlay of money,-the extrava-
gance of officers who have it in their
power to limit these expenses. Now for
a couple of cases in point.
Moses Strong, a broken down politi-
clan from tie southern part of the state,
is writing history of Wisconsin. 1t is
not yet printed and no one knows what it
is going to be. Probably it will be no
better than the history of Northern Wis
consin, with which the people of this
Oouuty WciO oO UauiJ lOOlSu SuOfG
while ago. But Moses is not SO foolish
as to trust to the sale of his history for
his pay. Oh, no: he asks tue state to
come in and help him. He asks the
state to give him $4,000. For what2 For
writing history of Wisconsin. Just
think of it There are now a few his
tories of Wisconsin extant. But Moses
wants to get at the treasury. He comes
to Madison and proceeds to lobby. The
senate so far forgets their duty to the
people as to pass the bill. Mr.. Carey
was true to his trust and voted against it.
1t went to the assembly and the commit
tee to which it was referred decided by
vote OF three to two to report favorably
upon the bill. Mr.. Albers was mem
Der of that committee and voted to give
$4,000 of the peoples money to Moses
Strong without receiving one cents worth
IN return. We shall report the action of
the other members from this county ON
this barefaced steal when the bill comes
before the full assembly.

UNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

The Thirty-FiIst Annual Meeting Held
mcut.
generation has passed away since the
United States agricultural society held its first
annual meeting here, thirty-ono years ago
yet some of those present then and at every
subsequent meeting turned out in the snow
storm of yesterday to attend the annual
gathering at the department of agriculture.
Hon. John n. King, Of New York, whose
father was one of the founders of the society,
presided and delivered brief address, in
which he demonstrated the necessity for a
national agricultural organization, rs was
recommended by Washington. Before the
war, the United States society was very sue
ccsslul holding large fairs in different sec
tions, ut which upwards of S125,000 was dis
tributcd in premiums. When the war broke
out in 1861, the society was divided, some of
its officers and members wearing the blue,
while others wore the gray. Since then IL
has simply kept up its legal existence under
the charter given to it by congress- and il Is
now proposed to resume more active opera
tions.
"As % society" said President King, in con-
clusion, 1--WE have but one object in view,
and are not hindercd by or welded to any
speciality. We desire, by cnlightening the
farmers and stock growers, to improve the
quality and quantity of the most valuable
productions, and by the most economical pro-
ccs5cs. We desire to show to them the finest
and most useful strains of stock that, by com
pori3on, they may select such as are best
adapted to their localities. These are live
questions, and most necessary to be studied
in II country which must continue to furnish
brCadstuifs aud animal food and in enormous
quantities, to the less productive portions of
the old world"
The annual election of officers followed,
viz: John A. King, of New York, president; (;
Ben: Perley Poorc, of Massachusetts, secre-
tary; William w. French, of Now Hamp.
shire, treasurer; vice president from each
state and territory, with William w. Corcoran,
from this district, and an executive commit
tee
The society adjourned to meet again at the
department of agriculture on the twenty
fourth instant, when President King will de-
liver an address on the past and future use
fulncss Of the organization.
