La Crosse Chronicle, IS: Yesterday was
the first day there was a suspicion of water
everything the ice on the river, but people who
have been teaming regularly on and across
the river say the ice is very rotten, consid-
ering the short spell of warm weather. A
Pine Creek farmer coming to this city with
out heavy load, broke through opposite the
city but saved his team. Captain Brace,
of Brownsville, who was up during the fore
noon, said the track was safe enough, but it
made him nervous to meet team and have
to turn out.
Eau Claire Press: F. H. Palmer, while
driving between Eau Claire and Chippewa
Falls a few days since, found specimen of
that curious animal known as the pocket goph-
er, which is very rarely seen, owing to the
fact that it burrows in the earth and seldom
appears above the surface, as the light of
day destroys its power of vision. The ami.
mails eyes cannot be discovered but by close
inspection, and it is furnished with long
claws for burrowing. The specimen thus
captured had got out on the snow and being
unable to get back was easily caught.
The Madison Journal: administered the fol-
lowing rebuke to the Sabbath beakers of that
city, ''The sacredness of yesterday was dis
regarded in a terrible manner by young
people, who feared that the last opportunity
for ice-boating this season was opened to
them and evidently seemed to feel that they
were in duty bound to accept it. Through
out the morning, the lakes were dotted with
fitting sails. and the wind being strong
doubtless very enjoyable time was had by
those whose consciences were scared.
Milwaukee Wisconsin, March II: Four
teen clerks in John Pritzlatf's hardware
store pooled their issues recently and pur-
chased fourteen tickets in Canada lottery.
To-day one of the clerks received dispatch
stating that one of the tickets held by the
pool had drawn prize of $685. 900. The re-
ceipt of the dispatch created great sensation
among the boys.
Sam Fifeld, acting governor of Wisconsin
during Gov. Rusk's absence at Washington
is reported by the Milwaukee Tour as fol-
lows: II used to think the governor had
soft snap, remarked the acting governor
Fifeld to one of his visitors yesterday 81
thought his excellency had nothing to do but
entertain eminent cluZenS, SHue at the
women, admire the babies, smoke good eli
CARS and drink two-wit brandy. But I was
clear off my nut. It's an old man here, his
gills there, and side-pard over yonder. The
board of charities and supervision are fight
ing all the time like parcel of brood hens,
and don't sleep nights for fear that some
thing will happen by which that paper of
mine will lose its balance and come out fiat
