Of Green county, Wis. The flames were
first discovered at one o'clock and spread
rapidly, sweeping before them every
business building in the place, including
the post office and two newspaper offices.
There were no adequate facilities OF
fighting the progress of the fire, and it
made such Roadway that a number of
people barely escaped from the burning
buildings with their lives. The mer-
curry is down to zero, and the suffering
of many of the town people is great.

which caused the death by his own
hand of Milton G. Church. MI. Church
was a popular young man, about "a years
of age, and has been employed as a clerk
in the land department of the Northern
Pacific (the office of Ed. Stone) in Hell
ena. 1t appears that Ed. Stone visited
him at his room, No. 70, on the first
floor of the International hotel, at 8
o'clock, Oh business. They then walked
to Stones room, in the hotel, where the
business, of some rifing moment, was
explained, and Mr.. Church said he
would go to the land office and arrange
1t on the books. Mr.. Stone then re-
turned with Mr.. Church to the latter's
room, when Mr. Church closed the door
and said, Don't come in here" and as
Stone turned away Church asked if he
would mail that, handing him a letter.
Mr.. Stone said, "Certainly, !" and turned
away, when he heard Church say
"Good-bye." When out "a the side
walk Mr.. Stone heard a shot, and sus-
pecting the tragedy, went for the pro-
prietor, Max Shower, and they pro-
ceeded to Church's door, which they
IOund unlocked, ana went IN, and there
found young Church upon the outside
of his bed, dressed in his best clothes,
breathing in the last agonies of death,
anG he was dead in a few minutes. He
had evidently laid down across the bed
and put the revolver, a Smith g. Wesson
"a calibre, to his right temple and pulled
the trigger. The bullet made a large,
black, ugly wound in the right temple
of the young man, and probably lodged
in the brain, leaving a pool of blood on
the white beadspread, just under his
cheek. 1t was known that young
Church was long a sufferer from i'll
health and an affection of the throat,
which, probably more than anything
else, caused depression of spirits and led
to the terrible deed. Young Church
will be greatly mourned by a large FAM
lily Of distinguished people at home and
a very large circle OF friends in Helena.

1T is little surprising after the recent cir
c1iar from the Vatican, to find number OF
Roman Catholic priests in this country APP
pealing over their signatures to the Irish
American public for liberal subscriptions TO
the Parnell fund, and this at a time when
the decline of the Papal revenues is the
source of considerable embarrassment to the
head of the Church. Ecclesiastical disci-
pine is apparently growing dangerously lax,
and il is about time for the Pope to call that
plenary council of American prelates which
he is understood to have in contemplation.

THE Belgian government has adopted an
idea in regard to suffrage qualification
which, while it is by no means new az 4
theory, has hardly been advanced beyond
that stage by any other community. The
scheme of enlisting the ambitions of the ris-
ing generation by making the highest priyil-
ege of citizenship dependent upon a COM
plete course of primary education has much
that is commendable in it and nothing to be
objected to. Education is practical ne
cessity for the true use of franchise privileg-
es, and therefore there is no hardship in
making it obligatory.
