try, containing no habitation in which
to find shelter. To reach the hotel be-
fore the storm broke was their only al
tentative.
Dorothy shuddered as she drew hcr
light shawl around her and glanced un-
easily at the lowering clouds that
seemed almost to tonch the earth.
The day had been, nearly without
warning, precipitated into night, and
the irregular row of trees upon the
steep bank on other side of them were
swayed in wild confusion as the wind
moaned through their branches, and
now the clouds. so long threatening
poured down their torrents upon the
earth.
A sudden fash of lightning, which
Lit up tho black and Jagged riffs OF
clouds, shone in the miniature lake
that had been formed by depression
in the road, and the thoroughly fright
ened animals, startled into a new fear
by the glistening water, plunged for
ward and in moment the Count had
lost control over them. He was NJ
powerless to compete with the strength
of the two horses MS straw to with
stand the force of the blast.
"Jumpi" he cried, throwing tho
reins from him. The earth Is soft
and there will be less danger than by
running the risk of being dashed to
pieces"
Dorothy turned to look about her,
when she saw the Count spring from
the seat upon the road and was left in
the darkness, while she, alone, was
borne rapidly along, the carriage sway
ing from side to side beneath her.
Something had happened, she knew,
for she felt herself come with sudden
force upon the ground, and she knew
no more.
When she returned to consciousness
she was again riding along Crabtree
Road, but the rain had ceased and a
star or two shone above. Some one
was holding her very firmly, and her
head was rolling in ridiculous fashion
upon her companions shoulder, by the
jolting Of the village cart.
Dorothy looked up.
"Thank heaven you are not killed
outright! Teddie said. with an un-
mistakable guaver in his voice. Il
thought at least your arm was broken
when / lifted you up"
Dorothy stretched out that member
quite firmly.
mo, Teddie,' she said, mot my arm.
but my heart, because when you passed
us this evening you turned your head
the other way"
Teddie smiled and felt comforted, for
he knew that Dorothy had not been Sc
riously injured in any way.
Years after. sauntering through one
of the streets of New York, the atten-
tion of Teddie Forester and his wife,
DOROTHY, was attracted by man ex-
hibiting a dancing bear to the popu-
lace. A half-derisive laugh from some
one standing in a group made them
glance around.
"Do you see that man with the bear ?"
the man who had laughed asks his COM
panion. We'll, years ago he was the
overseer of my ranch over in one of the
Territories, and, while was on visit
to Paris, he ruined one of my best spans
of horses, killing one outright and
manning the other, while playing the
role of foreign Count at q small water
ing-place."
Teddie Forester and his wife pressed
forward to scan the features of the own
er of the bear. 4 wild burst of merri-
ment issued from Teddie's lips, while a
curious glow of modification dyed
Dorothy's face. 1t was the Count Won
Auer.

MYSTERIOUS POisOns.

The accident to young DIR. A. II.
Phillips, of this city, at q Montreal ho-
tel, from an overdose of digitalis, has
provoked considerable inquiry as to
the nature of that most interesting of
all posons. The popular idea that
there is no poison so subtle that its
presence in the body of its victim can
not be detected after death, is errone-
Gus, and the active principle of digitalis'
(digitaaine) is one of the most striking
instances of deadly poison which
leaves no tell-tale evidence of its work
behind it. One-half grain of this ter
rible drug would be sufficient to kill
strong man, and no scientific re-
search, however prompt, would be able
to find trace of it afterward.
In 1864 DIR. De La Pommerais, of
Paris, was tried for numbering his mis-
tress. He had given her dose of Dig
italine, but postmortem examination
failed to discover traces of tho subtle
drug, although the most celebrated
surgeons made examinations. The
most that could be done was to take
portions of the contents of the stomach
and feed it to animals, which at once
exhibited all the symptoms of digital
inc poisoning. This was, of course, but
presumptive evidence, as it was sup
posed in advance that the woman had
been murdered by the drug. Without
such basis the doctors could have dis
covered nothing to suggest the pres
ence OF digitaline. The drug kills by
"teutonizing" the heart muscles, and
is almost instantaneous in its action.
There are several other vegetable
poisons equally impossible to detect,
mucaria, duboisra and ocentie, for in

PROHIBITION Party.

Hon. S. ID. Hastings, of Madison, the
leading prohibitionist in the state, an
Old-time abolitionist and Republican
was prominent member of the ma
tional prohibition convention at Pitts
burg. Mr.. Hastings is reported as hav-
ing expressed the opinion that the pro-
hibition ticket would receive 10000
votes in Wisconsin. He is not a quih-
bling politician, but bears the reputa-
ton of fair-minded man; therefore,
as an intelligent observer, will proba-
bly, admit that of these 10000 votes at
least two-thirds will come from those
who would vote the Republican ticket
if no prohibition candidate had been
nominated. A small boy can figure
the loss to the Republican side, and the
gain to the Democratic side and its
whiskey-selling allies, by this action of
the prohibition convention. But how
do the prohibitienists expect to aid
their cause or that of temperance by
helping their enemies into power? A
more inconsistent action for men pro-
Tossing to be the friends of temperance
it is difficult to perceive. To claim
that the Democrats as party are fav-
orable to the suppression of the liquor
traffic is sheer nonsense. It might
with nearly equal reasonableness be
claimed that the saloon keepers favor
prohibition. Only few weeks ago
the Democratic convention of Illinois
declared opposition in it's platform to
all sumptuary laws" by which every
one knows was meant opposition to
laws interfering with the free use Of.
Intoxicating liquors as beverage.
How strengthening both the Demo-
cratic and liquor interests can advance
the cause of prohibition surpasses the
comprehension of ordinary minds.
The proposed method of dealing with
the evil of intemperance by our modern
prohibitionists looks much as would
the attempt to extinguish a fire by add
ing fuel to the flames.

NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

The New Orleans Exposition, which
has been planned on an extensive scale,
will open on the first of December
next. 1t is expected to fully equal
that held in Philadelphia in 1876.
Fare on all the principal railroads is
promised at one cent per mile, which
will bring the cost of journey from
this state within the reach of many
persons. Congress, if we mistake not,
has made an appropriation for the en-
couragement of this enterprise. The
Commissioners who have been ap.
pointed for this state to superjntend
the forwarding of articles for exhibit
ton are E. ID. Holton and J. NJ. Smith
of Milwaukee; they ask for loan of
go, 1000 from citizens to defray the ex
penses, which will necessarily be at
tendant on the proper carrying out OF
the plan proposed. The belief is ex
pressed that the legislature at its next
session will make appropriation to re-
imburse those who advance the
amount now asked for. Prominent
men of all political parties in the state
have been consulted, and the prevail
ing belief is that the legislature can be
relied upon for favorable action, mas
much as this is national undertak
ing. The sum of $500 is asked from
Kenosha. 2. G.. Simmons and q. ]
Lewis are designated collectors for
Kenosha.

INFLUENCE OF BAND Music

The Saturday evening music by the
band on the park is having good in

or at least greater number of persons
take little recreation on that evening.
The sound of music on the park by the
band attracts many persons to that To-
cality; friends meet and enjoy pleasant
interchange of thought, and spend a
half hour or more to mutual advantage.
But the class of persons who derive
the greatest benefit are the boys.
I hese are attracted to the park; but if
it were not for the music of the band
many of them would hover around the
saloons and grOggeries, listening to the
yulgarity and profanity of such as con-
gregate IN these resorts. There may
be some apology for boys and
young men in this city
who visit places of doubtful pro-
priety; young persons naturally and
desire some place of amuse-
ment or recreation. No reading room
or place of respectable resort has been
provided IN this city where young men
may meet and enjoy an agreeable and
profitable evening The only alterna-
tive for young men. if they wish to get

within the past two weeks been placed
in the cemetery at least they are new
here. but probably not in other places.
One is the white bronze, a substitute
for marble, and which it is claimed is
much less destructible than marble,
or any other material now used for
monuments. The monuments of this
kind are cast after the pattern of any
ornamental design, and of course are
of finer execution than can be wrought
with the chisel on marble. The other
kind of monument is the rustic" It
is imitation of stnmps or trees with
rough bark on, carved from kind of
stone found in Indiana. A specimen
of this kind of monument has been
placed in the cemetery, at cost Of
about $500. A specimen of the white
bronze can also be seen, which was
placed in position few days ago.

Most of the leading Republican
papers, also religious, have referred at
length to the Cleveland scandal. The
general drift of comment may be judg-

The attention of the Republican
voters Of the county is invited to the
call of the committee in this paper
for Republican county convention,
to be held at the court house in this
city, on Monday, September |, 1884.
The convention will be one OF more
than ordinary Importance, as the COM
mittee have properly decided to hold
but one convention for the nomination
of member of the legislature and all
the county officers to be voted for in
November next. There should be a
full convention, and the members
should fairly reflect the voice OF the
people. No countenance should be
given to combinations seeking to Sc
cure nominations pledged to the be-
stowment of patronage or favor on
any one. The better way for securing
harmony, and consequent success, IS TO
let every interest stand on its own
merits, and accord equal rights to all.

The Democrats bring it as an accu-
sation against the Republican admin
istration that a hundred millions of
dollars have been allowed to accumu-
late in the National Treasury. This
they declare is bad financiering, for the
money ought to have been paid out
where it would advantage the country
Contrast the present condition of the
Treasury with that of 1861. A terrible
war was then on our hands, with an
empty Treasury. The Government
was then forced to borrow money at
twelve per cent interest. Our bonds
went begging in the market. and were
sold at ruinous discount. Remember
those were days when the country was
reaping the fruits of two previous
Democratic administrations James
Buchan and Franklin Pierce.
When the Republicans came into pow
er at the beginning of the war they
found treasury that had been depict
ed under Democratic rule. They set
about replenishing it, and the moneta-
~ affairs of the government have
been strengthening under Republican
management up to this date.

the office of President. Strong resolu-

traffic in intoxicating liquors. The
Catholic church. through its bishops

against the liquor traffic, and will not
relax it's efforts until the work is ac-

Facts of national Importance were
brought out at the late National
Teachers Convention at Madison In
this state. Hitherto there has been
distrust as TO whether the Indian race
is as susceptible of being educated as
the white IT has lately been practl-
cally demonstrated that Indian children
acquire school education as readily as
any other race. The Indian schools
which, have been maintained the past
two or three years have settled this
matter beyond question. II this fact
had been recognized and acted upon
by the u nited States government many
wears ago, vast amount OF money
might have been saved, now appro
priated annually to keep the Indians
from starvation and suffering. Edu
cation would have changed their wan
dering habits and rendered the tribes
