A jolly picnic party gotten up by
Charles w. Rundlett, including his whole
family and that of Mr.. Eddie, with mem
bers of several other households in our
city, went to Lake Mills last Wednes lay,
The day was cool and bright, and the
roads fine. On reaching the village they
were joined by the family of P. Rhoda
and proceeded to the shady grove on the
bank of Rock lake, where an excellent
and bountiful dinner was spread, and
enjoyed as only dinner can be partaken
of under the trees. After dinner boats
were procured and the party went out
for row across the beautiful lake to
''the spot where the lilies blow" Then,
with hands fair as the lovely blossoms,
they gathered them in until all were
satisfied. Reluctantly they quit the waves,
and after partaking of luncheon left the
picturesque banks with pleasant mem
cries of sparkling water, quiet wood,
kind friends, good cheer and day well
spent. ONE OF THE PARTY.

army of cloth peddlers that infest these
parts, and purchased piece of cloth at
500 90, which he was told contained suf-
fcient material to make five suits. When
the piece was dissected only enough of
cloth could be discovered to make
one suit and have four or five yards
left. Mr.. Sleeper had the vender prompt
ly arrested and taken before Justice
Stacy on the charge of procuring money
under false pretenses. The case was post

was shot and instantly killed in that
place last evening, while crossing a street.
There is no clue as yet to the perpetrator
of the crime, but there seems to be no
doubt that it grew out of the war lately
inaugurated on the saloons. Rev. Mr..
Haddock, it will be remembered, carried
on discussion here some years ago with
B. F. Underwood, Of Boston. He WAS
then pastor of the M. E. church at
Appleton. A son of the deceased, Rev.
Frank Haddock, was pastor of the
Watertown M. E. church for a short
time.

position of general manager of the Cana

acceptance, opinions differ. During his
recent visit here Mr.. E. was somewhat
reticent on the subject leaving his friends
inclined to the opinion, however, that be
would most likely remain with the old
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul. As a
matter of dollars and cents the Canadian
Pacific cannot offer him any more than
the St. Paul company can afford to pay
him, rather than let him go.

A PRIEST LEAVES 100000
To One Of His SiAters, and Arch
bishop Williams Is Contest

LOWELL, MASS, June % Father

all quietly done with the view that
settlement might bs made before Mis-
Crudden took her depai tme for Ire
land to make it her permaneat Iesi-
dence. One of the lawyers said TO
your correspondent today that they
had good case against tne estate in
the intsTts; OF the church. II looked
rather queer, he said, that priest on
a salary of 5000 year could emsss a
t rune OF 100000. The rules of the
Catholic pastors, IL appears, say that
they shall urn in to their Archbishop
ali money above certain expenditures.
The SUIT is based on the TACT that
Father Crudden neglected to keep
strictly to this rule, and that his cash
returns are not what they should
have b:en. The property which goes

A STARTLING STORY.
An Old Gentleman Twenty Hours
in His Coffin, Comes TO Life

CAIRO, Ill, June 2l.-A startling
affair is reported from Clinton, KY,
Thirty miles south of here, on the Iii

and last Wednesday, to all ap-
pearances, died The remains were
encssed in casket, remaining twenty
hours, awaiting this arrival OF rea-
tives to attend the funeral At mid
night Thursday the watchers who
surrounded the coffin we're startled by
a deep groau emanating from the To-
cality OF the coffin, aud all but one-a
German named Wabbeking-precipi-
lately rushed from the room. Wab.
beking remained, and, as the groaus
and sighs continued, he raised the
coffin lid, and at a glance saw that the
corpse was no corpse at all, and, seiz
ing the body, he placed it upright. A
few spssnodic gasps, shudder,
and the corpse spoke aloud. The
relatives rsturned to find the
man sitting in chair aud converting
with reasonable strength. Mr.. Daniels
claimed to ba perfectly conscious of
everything which has passed in the
last three days, but YVES unable TO
move a particle. He heard the sobs
OF his relatives when he WIS pro.
nounced dead by the do, tors, the
preparations for ths fuaerAl and the
final deposit ofbisremains in the coffin.

the Mayor continued, he ordered the
petrol wagon aud went to the scene
personally. He saw a number of
stones and rocks, and was tod they
had been thrown at the police by boys.
He spoke with men in the mob, and
they said they were taxpayers and
had right to be there. They were
aDgsred at the presence of the militia,
end said trouble would b, avoided if
they were withdrawn. Thereupon
