SENATOR SPOONER, OF WIS
CONSIN MAKES A REPUTA-
TION.

Tuesday, January 20, being the day
fixed for the pronouncing of eulogies on
the late Vice President Hendricks,
some of the best Congressional orators
were selected for the occasion. Among
the number Senator Spooner, of this
state, one of the youngest members of
the Senate, was appointed. The adj
dresses were all of high order of
talent, but that of Senator Spooner ap.
pears to have borne off the palm. 1T
was greeted on both sides by Republi.
cans and Democrats. 1t was Mr..
Spooner's first speech in Washington.
and was limited to ten minutes. A
correspondent of the Inter Ocean re-
marks; " In ten minutes speech, Mr..
Spooner won a national reputation,
something no 9th er Senator has done
within memory"

STRANGE INCONSISTENCY

Not long ago The Democratic papers
protested against the admission of Da-
kota into the Union. 1t was declared
too early, and that the people of that
Territory should wait until it had a
larger and more fixed population.
Now these papers have just discover
ed that Dakota, with its population of
250,o00, may come in, provided that
Montana, with a population of about
10000, be permitted to come in at the
same time. Montana having popu-
lation of less than one-fourth that of
Dakota, is deemed fit to come into the
Union, simply because it votes Demo.

" Home. sweet home
Thprn ic M Y1Ioaa 1SIya \ ~,s,. ,

These words, when simply repeated
without musical accompaniment of
voice or instrument, have no especial
charm for multitudes of people, more
than have hundreds of other stanzas.
But when accompanied with music they
attract the attention and charm the
listener. There is wide difference
among the admirers of these beautiful
lines; some are impressed with them
because OF the appreciative sentiment
they convey; others have no realiza-
tion of the delights of sweet home"
It is not for them place of happiness
and social enjoyment; it is only a

and of profound respec. by the Ger

Of these mutual relations between

friendly policy towards other religion

INTERESTING FARMERS MEET
INGS.

A series of meetings, especially in
tended to interest farmers, will be held
at Madison from the 1st to the 5th of
February, 1886. The programme for
each day, as published, embraces great
variety of subjects connected with
farming, including dairying and horti-
culture, and can hardly fail of being
instructive, and well paying those who
attend. These meetings occur at a
season of the year usually not a busy
one with farmers, and no doubt those
who make it point to be present will
find it pleasant and profitable.

SHIPPING BY RAILROAD d.
RECT FROM KENOSHA TO
MEXICO.

Shipping articles by railroad from
Kenosha direct to Mexico, the old city
of the Montezumas, would only a few
years ago sound like a mythical story.
Less than twenty-five years ago it would
have been easier to find a dozen men
who had travelled through Central
Asia than one man who had visited
the ancient city Of Mexico. Not many
years ago travel to Mexico from the
United States was not by land but by
water, on the Atlantic side to Vera
Cruz and thence by stage to Mexico;
the stage being commonly guarded by
armed men on horseback to protect
stage passengers, who were constantly
liable to attacks from robbers. Now
all has changed, and wondrous change
it is.
The Balm Wagon Company of this
city are preparing for shipment by
railroad a number of carts designed
for carrying heavy loads, also a wagon
OF peculiar construction, made to order
and strongly built, weighing 1900
pounds. The Mexican tariff on all
articles of this kind is large; the tariff
and freight on the wagon, it is calcu-
lated, will be 16 cents per pound, there.
fore the tariff and freight on this one
wagon will cost $1,000 Other manu-
featuring companies of agricultural
implements are also finding a market
in Mexico, and these are but the begin
nings Of what will follow.

INSANE UNDER COUNTY CARE.

Secretary Wright, of the Board of
Charities and Reform, furnishes the
number of insane persons under pub
lie care in the counties in this state
during the year preceding September
80, 1856. The number under public
care in Kenosha county is given as %.
which is one insane person to every
613 inhabitants in the county. It APP
pears from the statistics given that in
sanity is steadily on the increase in
this state. The same fact has been
noted in other states. The number of
insane under public care in the state,
by the report of Secretary Wright, on
the 3Oth of September each year, dur
ing the past five years, was as follows
1881, 1,7?3; 1882, 1913; 1888, 2,075
1884, 2,298; 1885, 1892. It will be
noticed the number of insane are in
creasing much more rapidly than the
population. In counties where there
has been but very little increase of in
habitants, as in this, there has in most
cases been an increase OF insanity.
Here is an opportunity for the philoso-
piers of vital statistics to make an ex-
PLANTATION.

THE DOOMED ANARCHISTS.
They Announce That They Want No

A Rhode Island Father Arrested for
Terrible Crime.
The Condemned Anarchists.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The condemned
anarchists spent their entire time to-day in
the seclusion and quiet of their cells.
Callers are excluded on Sunday by the rules
of the jail. Clergyman are the only ex-
ceptions to the rule, and the customary
Sunday visit was paid the other prisoners
by minister of the gospel. The anarchists
were omitted by their own orders. They
wanted no religious consolation they said.
Detectives Stifts, Refine, Lowenstein,
Hoffman and Schuetblitz spent large por-
ton of their time to-day in the neighbour
hood of No. 55 South Clark street, and
closely scrutiniZed the delegates to the
Central Labor union meeting at that place.
During the proceedings Detective Lowen-
stein sought admission to the hall. but was
promptly shown down stairs. Later
the other detectives went up and
told Chairman Hipp that no sedi-
tiOuS resolutions must be presented
and laid stress upon resolutions about the
verdict i'll the case of the anarchists. To
this the chairman replied that they had no
such object as intimated, and that the pri-
mary intention of the assemblage was to
arrange for all the non-English speaking
members to become citizens and voters at
once. The meeting thereupon passed a
resolution recommending that all members
Immediately apply for naturalization
papers. 1t was stated that the Contract
Labor union had some 200 members of
whom about one-half were voters. A dele
gate limited that the anarchist question had
been discussed and that resolution had
been passed. which was reserved for the
present from publication. The chairman
denied that money had been raised to aid
the anarchists.

Sunday at the Exposition was not the

the opportunity of affording the tired
mechanics day OF rest. Layton Bros,
who have the contract for the carpen ter

Saturday, and only small force was EN-
pl0yed during the day Oh work that could
not possibly be delayed. At IL o'clock last
night the full force was again put On and
will work through to noon to-day. H. Jay
Smith, superintendent of the art department.,
also discharged his men and resumed work
at midnight. The exhibitors were not so

road tracks on High street have been laid,

a Fathers, terrible Crime,

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 22.-The COM
munity was startled to-day by the arrest Of
Horace Carlisle, well-known citizen and
business man, on the complaint of his
daughter, for incest. His eighteen
year-old daughter, Alzaida, COM
planned at the police station
last night that her father would not let her
remain in the house. Being questioned
she reluctantly and with distress told a
story of grievious wrong done her and the
terrible crime of her father. The
first assault was committed about three
years ago, when her mother was
absent from home. The father sent her to
an attic on an errand, and following threw
her down and committed the assault. Since
then he has repeatedly asked her to occupy
a room with him, and because she refused
had driven her from the house. Her
mother also tried to induce her to occupy
the same room with her husband. The girl
made sworn statement and her mother
corroborates her. Carlisle was arrested to-
day, and on the plea of not guilty was held
for trial, no bail being allowed.

Rev. MIR. ThrOOp Has ThriIIing
Adventure on His Way to Preach
Before the President.
PROSPECT HOUSE, N. z, Aug. ga
The presidents party deferred attendance
at church to-day until the afternoon. The
services of the day were conducted by Rev.
Montgomery Fl. Throop, an Episcopalian
clergyman of Chicago. Mr.. Throop is
camping on the lower Saranac lake, and at
the request of Rev. Mr.. Dunten, who sup
plies this pulpit, he consented to officiate
to-day The journey is about twenty miles
and has to be performed in boat. Mr..
Throop had an adventure on this journey
which he will not soon forget.
With boy for companion and
guide, he started for the church at this
point yesterday afternoon. Instead OF
going ashore and carrying his boat around
the rapids of the Saranc river. as the guides
do, Mr.. Throop thought he would push
right through. He got stuck before going
very far, and then an oar slipped overheard
and was swept down stream. Further
progress was impossible, for travelling
along shore under rapidly setting sun was
not to be thought of in such wilderness.

guide who was making his way up the
river with boat load of baggage, reached
the rock about 10 D. M, and his keen
eye detected something unusual in it's
appearance. Thinking bear was perched
upon it and proposed to dispute his passage
he shouted right vigorously. AS there was
no movement when he shouted third time,
he seached forward among the baggage and
felt for his Winchester. Just then the
clergymen awoke and startled the guide
with sharp "Hallo therew An under
standing was reached, the baggage IN the
boat was readjusted and the two waits were
taken aboard and padded to Bartlett's
hotel, where they remained over night.
This morning the guide pulled them eight
miles up the lake to this hOstelry, where
Mr.. Throop related his adventure with
great guStO. 1t is the presidents intention
to continue this place as his headquarters
and to make daily fishing excursions to
some one OF the many lakes in this vicinity.
