The Dodgeville Chronicle offers
the following as a solution of how
to retain a good man in Office and at
the same time satisfy the claims of
locality:

suppose Mr. LaFollette should agree
that in case be is reelected, he will
take up nis residence in Green
county, and maintain it there during
the coming term. This would give
Green county the congressman with
out depriving the district of Mr..
LaFollette's experience and valued
services. The following term he
might live in Lafayette; and then
in Grant, and then in Iowa, aud
then in Dane again. We do not
know how this suggestion may
strike Mr.. LaFollette. For aught
we know, he may have had all he
wants of congressional life and be
anxious to retire at the end of MS
present term. We Offer it merely az
a solution of the "locslity" question ;
for of one thing we are well assured,
the third district will never be made
famous by her representative in
congress so long a. she continues 20
take up a new man every term or

The Billiards and the Signal
Service.

The "cold snap" has been of ex
ceptional vigor and severity, but
there are some Indications of a
higher temperature. Doubtless the
winters OF 1901 and that Of l8s4-5
were as inclement throughout vast
portions of the west, and the snow
fall was as great. The blockade of
the railroads in many sections, in
both winters, was complete for days,
and side lines unprotected from the
drifts were buried and abandoned
for weeks. Less suffering was caused
in tn ose winters than is reported to
have occurred during the recent
period of arctic frigidity. But this
is probably owing to the fact that
the shelterless plains of Minnesota
and Dakota had then but thin
population, compared TO what hey
now possess, so rapid has been their
growth in Inhabitants. But the
scattered pioneers then suffered as
terrible as the more numerous people
have suffered within the last few
days. Four and seven years ago
many cases were reported In which
farmers going from their houses to
tn cir cattle-eheds, through binding
clouds of sleet aud snow, lost their
way, wandered far through the drift
ing storms and were lost and perish
ed, or some fell frozen to death at
their very doorsteps.
1t is probable that the loss of life
from the recent storm, like that in
storms that preceded II, will never
be known. The prairles of the
north west, from which these direful
reports come, will never be free
from sucn terrific visitations of
snow.laden arctic cyclones as those
from which they have suffered in
the past. The vast stretches Of level
claims give hurricanes sweep
which they have nowhere else except
on the ocean. But az tree-belts are
planted and grow to mature size,
they will offer some protection from
the worst evils Of the blizzard.
1t is singular that, throughout the
fortnight preceding this terrible
fatal storm, the predictions were un-
lformly favorable to warmer wealth
or. Those In the northwest who
read the weather reports and "lndl-
cations" doubtless had faith in their
correctness, and failed to take such
precautions as they would otherwise
have done. The storm came upon
them while they had been promised
moderate weather, and it canght
them unprepared To meet its marrow
chilling blasts. 1t is evident that
the Signal Service had better be
silent as to "probabiIiues" than to
SO fearfuIly mi-lead by false proph-
estes the entire population Of the
storm-ridden far northwest.

SHEEPsHEAD BAY, Sept. 13.-Perfect
autumn weather, but track heavy
from last nights rain, greeted Wednes-
days postponed Sheepshead races.
Favorites seemed to be ruling at the
Coney Island Jockey clubs course once
more. EgmOnt was very lame in one OF
his fore feet as he was led back to the
paddock after his victory. Both the
main races of the day-the Speed stakes
and the Great Eastern handicap-were
run, to the delight of everybody. on the
old circular track, the new futurity
being too heavy. The first race
was the closest and hardest fought
of the season, and it was all McLaugh-
lin could do to land Terra Gotta
winner by a short head. Prose and
LOttie Wall had hot fight for second
place, which LOttie Wall won by a
nose. In the second Raymond led until
the upper stretch when WahOO passed
him, winning by a length, Grisette
second, head before Raymond. Tip
staff led in the third until the home
stretch was reached, when Mclaughlin
tanic close up. Egmont won by neck,
Brittanic a length before Tipstatf.
Ten horses started in the Great Eastern
handicap. Felicia was first away, with
Diablo second, the Madge FLY third.
Felicia and Madge made the pace to the
upper turn, where DiablO went to the
front and won easily by five lengths,
Carol second a head before Philander.
The fifth was a selling race, which
Letretia won with ease by five lengths
from Troy, who was a head in front of
King B, third. The race on the turf was
an exciting one in the last furlOng be-
tween LeleX and Santalene, but under
McLaughlln's desperate riding Santa
lene won by a scant length. McLaugh-

LIGHT ON A MYSTERY.
Two Eastern SweIls Murdered in
Colon ado for, IhaiI, Money

DENVER, Col, Sept. 13.-On the 10Th
of last month the decompOsed remains
of two young men were found by
Wyoming hunters in the underbrush
near place known as the Point of
Rocks. Who the unfOrtunates were
was not discovered until yesterday,
when it was found that the rema ms
were those of S. Morris Naley and Har-
~ Strong, two wealthy Phil adelphians.
The young men arrived in Denver early
last spring. They had plenty of money,
and went West for the purpose of view
ing the country. For that purpose they
resolved on taking pony route through
Wyoming. They were last seen alive
in that territory. How they came to
their death is mystery, but the suppo-
sition is that they were murdered and
robbed. Both these young men were
prominent in New York and Philadel
phia society. Relatives from the East
have offered large rewards for the pap
prehension of the murderers.

first inning Pickett brought down the
maledictious of The crowd upon his
mead. He was being run down between
first and second. and, seeing he was
clearly 10 be put out. he ran into HAYES
and butted him. HAYES fell down and
.ay as though he were killed. After a
physician had worked on him several
moments he resumed his place in the
game. Pickett was declared out for in
terfering with the ball. Both SOwderS
and Griffith pitched great ball, the hits
Dy both sides being few and scattered,
ana in consequence Of the dearth OF hit-
ting the game was prolonged until it
was too dark TO play further, at which
time eleven innings had been played
and the game was still a tie. Sowders
struck out seventeen of the batSmen,
who generally found the air when they
went up before him. He was hit once
by McAleer for 4 home run. Grl1nth
struck out only one man, but the
Apostles could not hit him safely.

on Murphy's base on balls. two
sacrifice hits and Pickett'S single. In
the same inning Milwaukee scored on
Strauss single and a three-baggeT by
Walsh. Errors by Pickett ana Corbett

seventh McAleer, who was the first man
at the bat. hit the second ball pitched,
knocking it into far center field for four
