JOHN BIBINGER has won his spurs as
hunter. For the last two weeks John
has been making careful inquiries as to
the difference between muzzle and a
breach loader, as to what shell is and
how fellow could tell a coon if he ran
across one. He learned that the distinc-
tive mark of coon was its ability to
climb tree. Loaded with this knowl-
edge, John started out to the Rips on
Saturday with two other persons. In the
gray of Sunday morning they set out fo-
game. John dressed hastily, cooked his
gun, placed the stock to his shoulder,
got his eye on the bead and marched off
at the head of the procession over a mile
OF well frequented road, explaining that
all good hunters travelled in that way,
prepared to lay out anything cold which
came within sight. A large black cat
which had been out making night hid
eous, crossed his path, and seeing the
belligerent attitude of the huntsman,
scurried off and climbed small tree.
The act of climbing the tree satisfied
John that his favorite game was within
gun shot and he circled around the tree
until he placed the muzzle of the gun
within a few inches of the cats head and
blazed away. The cat dropped and
John lugged it off to the tent. 1t did no

a cat a big black one. When a furious
woman came around later and demanded
pay for the cat, John mildly insinuated
that cat and coon had points of differ
ence which any sane person could instant
ly recognize, but paid damages for the
sake of harmony and brought the feline
home, enjoying little triumph when he
met crowd, by showing the coon. He
is buying the cigars on it now,

WHY is it that teachers with few
exceptions, find it extremely difficult to
get knowledge of the U. S. constitution
and history? The language of the con-
stitution is necessarily condensed and
must be read with care to get the sense.
But this difficulty does not stand in the
way IN the study of history. The events
of war are memorized without difficulty,
but what may be called civil history, or
anything relating to the growth of the
country seems TO elude the grasp of
teachers who show a creditable degree of
inteIligence in other subjects.

THE little contest of delegates at the
republican convention on Saturday last
proves that human nature is the same IN
all parties. Democratic county con-
ventions have had their share of contests
and were always productive of merrlment
on the part of republicans who claimed
that no such scenes were enacted at their
gathering.

AN interfering pad invented by Daniel
Bleser and manufactured by Bleser &
Hoyer, promises to have large sale. It
not only prevents horses from interfering,
but its continued use for couple of
weeks wholly cures the horse as it makes
him walk wider. It has been tested on
horses here in the city and is very in
genious continuance.

CONGRESSMAN HUDD tells pretty fair
story on himself. He visited this county
by team, bringing four of his children
with him. One of them, a little miss of
about six, heard a number of friends
chat her papa when about to set out from
Green Bay, about his trip to repair his
fences. When near Mishicott rail
fence was found to be in bad condition,
scattered about because of the fires
''Papa," said the little one, sis this one
of your fences you have come to fix"
The curly headed congressman felt thank
full that his political fences were not in
so demoralized a condition, and he told
the little one Munchausen tale.

On Sunday Sheriff Murphy was in
formed that an insane woman was at the
house of Newton farmer named Benin.
He went out there and learned the fol-
lowing facts: The woman with little
girl, bright intelligent child of years,
came'to Behm's house Saturday after
noon. She had been out in the rain and
was barefooted as was also the child,
both being lightly clothed. They were
kept over night and in the morning the
woman became violently insane and made
three attempts to drown herself in the
lake. Nothing could be learned from
the child of her fathers name; to all
questions she answered that his name
was papa" The sheriff brought the
chilli and woman to the city and from
what he heard her say, surmised she
lived at Pine Grove, in Cato. Ed. Schind-
Ter, who was formerly resident of that
place, was sent for and recognized the
woman. Her husband lives in Pine
Grove little north of Olsen's mill and
his name is Fritz. The sheriff went out
out there to investigate the matter and
found the woman had left with the child
on Saturday morning and must have
tramped the entire day. She frequently
has trouble of that kind, and on this oc-s
casion, is not treated very kindly by her
husband. They are very poor. No one
would make application to have her sent
to the asylum and her husband took her
home.

G. L. EsrABRooK has for some time
been the leading candidate for the posi-
ton of attorney general on the republican
ticket. BE has had very strong backing
from leading politicians in other parts OF
the state and reports of conventions held
elsewhere would indicate that he will
lead all competitors. A little division
in the party in this county caused some
thing of contest in the convention last
Saturday though Estabrook's delegates
were chosen practically without opposi-
ton. The convention opened up how
ever in rather tempestuous fashion.
The Manitowoc Tribune has for years
been bitterly opposed to Estabrook. 1t
was very largely through the latter that
Sandford was induced to establish a
paper at this place. But the friendly
relations soon terminated and Sandford
has been implacable ever since. He is
most persistent and bitter opponent
and the only way he can be silenced is
to kill him and this is by no means an
easy thing to do, as he has more lives
than the traditional cat, and is just as
likely to kill as to be killed. Sandford
has assumed the task of defeating Esta
brook. Somewhat like the man whose
scalp he has sworn to have, Sandford
has an extensive acquaintance with the
leading politicians throughout the state
and seems to be not without influence,
whether through fear of his well known
truculence or a somewhat adroit argu
mentative style which he can adopt when
it suits his purpose. He has not trusted
to his paper alone in the fight but has
made personal canvass through por-
lions of the state carrying the black flag,
and claims to have fixed things to his
satisfaction. The convention will tell
how true are his boasts.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad
has started a corps of surveyors out from

thought they are looking for an outlet west
that will allow them to strike that section OF
the country between the Iowa and Dakota
division of the Chicago, Milwaukee st. Paul
and the Southern Minnesota road from the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Going up
the Iowa river to Walnut creek q good outlet
can be found leading westward This outlet
is probably as good as can be found on the
west side of the river this side of Button.
1t is understood that arrangements are be-
ing made to lease the Des Moines L. Fort
Worth railroad to the Rock Island company.
Rock Island directors own a majority OF the
stock OF the Iowa road, and this move has
been expected ever since the last annual
election. The line runs northwest from DeS
MoineS, a distance OF about one hundred and
forty-four miles, and will even tually be ex-
tended from Ruthven north into Minnesota

Dakota Democrats in Earnest.


ABERDEEN, Oak, Oct. 16..-The Demo-
cratic executive committee received word
to-day that an organized plan had been
adopted by the Republicans to deceive the
people of North aud Central Dakota into
believing that NJ. III. Day, Democratic cam
ddate for delegate to congress. was
pledged to division of the territory. The
committee desire to have it distinctly under
stood that Day is pledged to the platform
adopted at the convention in this city, and
the platform submits the question of
division to vote of the people. Clifford
and his friends are now badly frightened
over the result of the action of the Republi-
can convention in refusing to submit the
question to a vote of the people. Citizens
of both parties are indignant at this action,
and are hocking to the Democratic candi-
date. News from the northern part of
the territory to-day is very encouraging,
and arrangements are being made through
out the upper country for numerous public
demonstrations. Preparations are now in
progress for grand Democratic rally at
Aberdeen. at which it is expected William
M. Springer, of Illinois, will deliver an
address. In the southern portion of the

WINNIPEG, Man.. Oct. 16.-Reports
from back districts show great damage by
prairie fires. The most valuable part of
the Military Colonization company's range,
near Macleod. Gen. Strange, manager. has
been burned over The portion burned is
that where the water is most plentiful, and
in the event of hard winter the company's
cattle must suffer more or less. Besides
the range itself, large quantity of hay and
much valuable machinery have been de-
stroyed. The fire is said to have been set
by Indians. Mrs. McClelland, who was
burned so badly by prairie fire ten days
ago, died at Morton after great suffering.
