A MANS private character, is one
thing, his record as public man and
official is quite another thing. We
respect private character and reputa-
ton as much as anybody and have
nothing but detestatiOn for the ghouls
and hyenas who violate their sacred
ness. But public men, and officials
especially, have no right to claim that
their private characters and reputa-
tions have been assailed, when we
prove by the record that they have er-
red in their official duties.

BRAKEMAN WELLS HELD.

PORTAGE, Nov. 1.-THE examination
of Brakeman Wells, whom the coroner's
jury held responsible for the Rio disaster,
was concluded at a late hour last night,
and he was held to the circuit court for
trial in the sum of ST. 900 bail, which he
was unable to furnish. He was accord
ingly committed to Jail, and hopes to be
able to procure bail within few days.
Justice Bakers Office being too small to
accommodate the crowd, the examination
was adjourned to the circnit court room,
and many railroad employees were pres
ent. Thomas Armstrong appeared for
the state and j. Fl. Rogers for Wells.
The testimony was 2 repetition of that
given at the inquest, and when it was all
in, Mr.. Rogers asked for the discharge
of his client on the grounds that the dis
aster was purely accidental and that the
rules Of the company requiring conduct
ors to take care of the switches released
Wells from all responsibility, in spite of
the practice of conductors in passing this
duty to brakemen, in violation of the
rules of the company. The conductor,
he argued, was alone responsible for the
accident. The counsel for the State ar
gued that it was the neglect of duty by
the brakeman himself that resulted in
the loss of life, and that it was question
for the court to decide whether the per-
son held should receive punishment oil
not, as warning to others. The justice
decided that the evidence was sufficient
to hold Wells for ti.al on the charge Of
criminal negligence.

JUNEAU.

Hon. B. F. Sherman, of Beaver Dam,
was last week deposed from his Office of
deputy collector to which be was appoint
ed year ago. Speculations are rife AZ to
the reason of this. but it looks very much
as if it was done in order to punish him
for having supported his party's candi-
date for congress in the late election, and
If such is the case. it meets with the uni
versal disapproval ofpeople here.
The county board adjourned on Satur-
day morning last The fact that the
county taxes will be about 500, 700 less
than last yesr proves that the late cleo
ton has had some effect on the county
fathers. Many of the bills presented
were cut down with liberal hand.
Richard Guenther's majority over De
laney IN this congressional district figures
up 1928; or over 200 more than General
Bragg's majority two years ago.
The Telephone is slow to follow it's own
advice. notwithstanding that immedi-
ately following the election it was willing
to forget and forgive and say no more alb ,ut
it, every issue since then has contained

on Mr.. Guenther, the cougressman-elect-
Joseph E. Spauldiug, one of the earliest
settlers of this town, lies dangerously sick
at his residence here with but slight hopes
of recovery. About year ago he let bin
farm to his sons and purchased a resi-
|dence in the village where be has since
resided with his wife and two daughters.
Not ali the acts of the late county
board are to be recommended. Payment
of county bond of $1,000, due on jan
uary 1st next was put off fer another year
evidently in order that the board might
take credit for a reduction of taxes this
year The matter of county printing Sas
also left in poor shape, it being the in
tention to let it to the lowest bidder One
bad effect of this will be that the proceed
lugs of the board will not be published
until after January 1st, and then only i'm
one newspaper and in pamphlet form.

INVENTION OF A NEW STEAM ENGINE.

M. Boyne, of this city, has invented All
engine in which the idea is carried out
of rotary or continuous motion where the
loss of power is obviated in overcoming
the dead point or stoppage of. the piston.
On account of its continuous motion an
engine OF his pattern can be run Is per
cent. cheaper than an engine built on
the usual principle. Another great ad-
vintage in Mr.. Boyne's engine is the
limited space it requires. A twenty-five
horsepower piston engine requires space
of only three feet square. 1t has other
creditable features that assure its success.
When perfected and properly handled,
Mr.. Boyne's invention will no doubt
meet with great financial success. MIR.
Boyne has made this engine study for
some years and it is hoped he will reap
substantial benefit from his labors. The
pattern engine is only 11x16 inches, but
ia suf6 GENTLY large to show the principle
in a satisfactory manner. It is on exhi-
bition st Fond du Lac and The Daily
Commonwealth of that city dated Novem-
Der 18th, occupies half column descrip-
tive of Che little machine.

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE.

A tramp giving his name as Joe
McLaths, was arrested by Ma shall Zaut-
ner Friday for carrying concealed weapons
and was placed in the lookup. During
supper time some one broke a pane of
glass from the window of the marshal's
Office, and through the aperature reached
the door of the cell. and, unlocking it,
permitted the tramp to escape. The
marshal soon after caught the prisoner in
a box-car at the st. Paul depot, and be
was taken before Justice Stacy, who SEN
fenced him to forty-6ve days in the
county Jail. McLath is strongly sus-
pected of being one of the gang that
broke into the Office of Sleeper Bros, and
no doubt it was one of his pals that
unlocked the door of the CELL

A CURE FOR DlPHTHERlA.

a well-known physician of that city de-
clares that for diphtheria there is nothing
better than the tar-smoke treatment. It
dissolves the fbrous exudations that choke
the patient and gives relief almost in
stantly The plan has been tried by
many doctors in New York and found
most efficacious. 1t consists 10 closing

escape, and then burning a quantity OF
pitch on a red-hot shol or stove.

is not play calculated to bring out to
advantage the strong points OF troupe,
and we think it would have been better
if some other bill had been offered for the
first night.
Last night east Lynne was produced
with fine effect, showing the best powers
of the company to advantage. Miss
Townsend deserves special mention for
her beautiful and almost faultless rendi-
ton of the characters of Lady Isabel and
Madame Vine, and she received excellent
support from E. Lawrence as Archibald
Carlyle, J. G. Kline as Sir Francis
Levison, Necia Robinson as Corney
Carlyle, and Kitty Arden as Barbara

We shall expect that as the week pro-
ceeds the interest in the troupe will in
crease and their efforts be received with
favor. Tonight the play of "Ten Nights
in Barroom' will be given.
