CAPTAIN HARRY L. RuLoN, OF Philadel-
phia, late of the United States Mint, has
in his possession a shovel which for seven
years was used for no other purpose than
transferring the silver coin OF the realm
from drying pan into boxes. BY con-
slant use Of the implement about an inch
and half was worn from its blade, thus
rendering it useless for raising precious
metals. During the seven years of its
use, according to calculation made by
the chief clerk, Captain Rulon handled
the almost fabulous sum of $685., 900 600
with that shovel. The Captain purchased
it from the Government for % cents, and
is now using it in his coal bin.

The Tribune apparently has nothing 10
urge either for or against the Woodburn
anti-polygamy bill introduced in the House

grown indifferent to the wants of the Terri

shal Ireland treated the convicts confined in
the Penitentiary as little better than SO

yesterday was released from the Pen

prisoners are humanely treated and that
the food furnished them is as good Ms could
be expected. 1t is plain that the Herald

Wisconsin Politics

The proposed candidacy of Richard Guen-
ther for Congress in the Second Wisconsin
district is received with enthusiasm and it is
believed that he may even defeat Delaney,
should he make an active canva IS. Many
Democrats are disposed to oppose the
latter. Mr.. Guenther ives in Oshkosh,
which is in the Sixth District, so says q
telegram from Waukesha. The Dem
ocratic convention for the Third Con-
gressional District was held at Darlington
on the 22nd, Hugh Gallagher of Darlington
received the: nomination on the twelfth
ballot. The other candidates were T. L.
Cleary Of Platteville and J. M. Clancy Of
StoughtoD. At Milwaukee, on the 22nd,
in the Democratic Congressional Conven-
tion for the Fourth district ex-Mayor John
Black WAS nominated by acclamation.
Black is very wealthy German, and was
orn in Alsace-Lorr aine. He will make a
formidable candidate. The Seventh Dis
trict Democrats at La Crosse, on the 22nd,
nominated 3. N. Dickinson. a lawyer and
banker Of Sparta, to contest the seat of
Q. Thomas in Congress. Hon. &. M.
Woodward, candidate for Governor on the
Democratic ticket made his first cam
paign speech, and after reviewing the
issues raised by the canvass said he
wished to impress upon the gentlemen
present the encouragement he and others
had received to the effect that if the
Democratic party did Its full duty 1t
would achieve one of the grandest victories
ever won in Wisconsin.

improved. It is to the interest Of the county
that the standard Of labor and laboring men
should be raised to the highest, and 1t IL one Of
the most hopeful signs Of the times that labor
Ing men are participating in governmental
Affairs. The farmer should be classed with the
laboring man, and is entitled to the protection
Of the state In matters OF transportation. The
railroads are creatures of the state, and should
be subject at all times to the states control
through laws enacted for their government.
The idea that they are beyond the control of
the state is proposition absurd ON It's face, the
state sovereignty being such that the state can
not create corporation or power that is above
itself. 1t is the duty Of the state to exercise .
close supervision over the railroads. Railroads
have done mach to advance the condition Of the
public; they have been the agents Of civiliSa-
tion, and the advance guard Of settlement, and
have contributed more than anything else to the
convenience and happiness Of the people. Rail-
roads are entitled to the consideration and pro-
lection Of the people far - the capital actual.
ly invested was concerned, bat 1t was the duty
Of the state at al times to keep them under
control and see that the farmer, by reason Of
exorbitant exaction by the railroad companies,
was not deprived Of the first profits OF his years
labor. He invited the consideration of the con-
vention to the recommendation made by the en-
campment Of the Grand Army of the Republic
held at Faribsult last winter for the establish-
ment Of m old soldiers' home by the state.
The patriotic people Of Minnesota and the Re-
publican party Of this state would only be too
glad to see . home erected for the dependent
and helpless soldiers of tho late war. He was
glad that the policy OF yetoing pension bills was
not inaugurated by = Republican. but BY DEM
ocratic president. The Issues are now made mp.
Tho candidates arc In the Aeld, and It only re.
mains for the Republican party to organize and
march on to its usual victory.

Benefit OF q Sponge Bath.


Washington Star: A prominent ply
sician, speaking of special baths and
their uses, mentions the sponge bath,
the foru of bathing where the water
is applied to the surface through the
medium of cloth or sponge, no part of
the body being plunged into the water.
He says the practice of systematic dai-
ly sponge bathing is one giving untold
benefits to the followers. Let per-
son not over strong, subject to frequent
colds from slight exposure, the victim
of chronic catarrh, sore throats. etc.,
begin the practice of taking a sponge
bath every morning, commencing with
tepid water in a warm room (not hot).
and following the sponging with fric-
ton that will produce warm glow
over the skin and then take FIVE min
utes' brisk walk IN the open air. See
if YOU do not return with a good appe-
tite for breakfast. After having used
tepid water for few mornings lower
the temperature of the bath until cold
water can be born with impunity.
The dailv cold sponging of q sensi-
tive throat or lungs will often result
most satisfactorily If persistently and
conscientiously followed. The cold,
| ante breakfast sponge-bath, should,
however oe avoided BY the weak per
son and the ones whose lungs are al
ready diseased, as the reaction follow
ing might not be strong enough to pre-
vent colds which might hasten fatal re.
suits. Another use of the cold bath is
to induce sleep, by calling the blood tc
the surface; the congested brain is re.
lieved and sleep comes in consequence.
It is on this principle the winding o1
the leg in q cold wet cloth proves SC
efiicacious l2 provoking sleep.
