The Cedarburg News Dem says:
Braggs expression, "we love him for the
enemies he has made" has cost US more
good Irish votes in Wisconsin than we
care to tell, and if it had not been that
on the eve of the election Brother Burch-
ard had turned up with his counter poi
son, Cleveland and the Democratic party
would have been where the woodbine
twineth. Cleveiand's nomination at
Chicago was only matter of time; the
dirty Know-Nothing element which is to
be found not exclusively in the Repub.
lican party was so tickled with Braeg's
saying. that the nomination of Cleveland
occurred few ballots sooner-that is all
the good, if it can be so called, Bragg
did do by his very smart expression in
that convention, but it nearly cost us the
election.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution deyotes
the following amiable paragraph to Gen.
Bragg: 1t seems that old Aunt Gen.
Bragg, of Wisconsin, is very angry with
the administration. Matters have turned
out pretty much as we expected. A year
or two ago old Aunt Gen. Bragg was
abusing the South on account of so called
Southern claims; but it turns out that
old Aunt General has more "claims"
than the South. We love to hear this
Democratic Bottom roar. Give him the
tongs and bones.

THERE are 800 well-developed cases of
measles in Whitewater, and the malady

A TERRIBLE calamity is reported from
Theirs, France. During a murder trial
the court house was crowded with men

and fell, crushing "a persons to death
and ipiuring 1913 others.

CHARGING THE OIL WELLS.
Extreme Caution Necessary In Handling

OLEAS, ~ Y. March 2S.-In all the oil regions
Creek district. in Butler County great had to
be taken in tOrpedOing a newly drilled well so
that the charge oi niroglycerine might not be too
heavy. If the charge was too great the sandrock
would be so badly shattered that the well would
be filed up, and lsng and expensive work was
rendered necessary IN order TO clean il out sufi
GENTLY TO permit the insertion of the tubing. A
twenty-Quart torpedo was about the average size
used. and il was exploded in the shell at the
bottom OF the well. In the Thorn Creek
region the explosive, TO the extent of 200
quarts enough 10 destroy O city-is dumped into
the WELL after the drill has entered the sandrOck
far enough, and exploded. The sand is OF such 8
nature that 1t does not drift in aud nil up the
cavity after the shot, no matter how heavy the
charge may be. IL is not practicable to make, nor
would il be safe to handle, S00quart torpedo OF
nitIo-gyeerine, a new shell has been invented
to meet the requirements of the Thorn Creek wells.
The shell is so constructed that after il has been
lowered TO its place in the well Its contents may be
dumped into tue cavity in the sandrock. The shell
Is then carefully hoisted to the surface, filled
again with nitrO-glycerine, and Recovered TO the
rock and dumped a second time. This dangerous
proceeding Is repeated until the required GUAM
uty OF nitro glycerine has been turned into the
well, when Ii is exploded. The tubing can be run
down at once and the we'll Is ready for operations

operations greatly, but IL makes the business of

stances places the lives of the worzmen in con-
slant jeopardy, tenfod more dangerous.
