A Heroine's Battle.

Nashville, Tenn, Special: Miss
Mollie Green is the heroine Of a
thrilling scene in Perry county,
Tenn. Miss Mollie is an attrac-
tive young lady of eighteen, who
teaches school on Cypress creek.
The father, Robert Green, lives
across the Tennessee river in
Hickman county. The little log
house was quiet, and the children
busy at their lessons, when a
shaggy dog, foaming at the mouth
swapping and biting, dashed in at
the door and made towards one OF
the children. The brave little
woman thought only of the child
rem i'll her care, and sprang be-
tween them and the intruder tell
ing them it was a mad dog. She
kicked at it, her skirts protecting
her, and by the aid of a heaving
rule kept it at bay until all the
children had fled. The Infatuated

untruthful things about General
Ginty, Hold Taylor and E. c.
McFetridge should give a moment
to serious reflection. 1t is very
likely that one of these gentlemen
will be the republican candidate
for governor. The man who has
made mean personal assaults upon
General Ginty might find it uncom-
fortabale to explain away those
assaults in case Ginty is the candi-
date The man who has charged
E. c. McFetridge with, for instance
having been pirate on the high
seas, in the presence of wideawake
democrats, might be obliged to
give good deal of time to con-
vlncing the public that he was
speaking in a Pickwickian sense,
and the party who said that any
man who has such deep blue eyes
as Hold Taylor has, must be a
midnight assassin, would dislike
wonderfully to have the Oshkosh
Times or Madison Democrat point
him out as having made such a

Christian Science.

May | be permitted a Christian
science chat with the Fireside
readers? l became interested a
few short months ago in the
subject and wish more of our
sisters would look into this science
which is the science of all sciences
1t is sure to bring perfect joy to
every home tnat will practice it,
as it has brought untold joy into
my family. Its teachings are SO
simple, but so grand. Through
Christian Science we learn that all
is mind; it teaches the separation
of mortal and immortal mind,
which we all must learn before we
can reach heavenly harmony
where all is pure and perfect. l
do hope to soon see more of our
sisters become interested in Chris
tain or Divine Science; as it is the
pure teachings Of our Saviour and
leads us right into his footsteps.
AS we learn and understand Divine
Science all our material labors will
cease to become burdens, and
instead of discord, harmony will
reign supreme and love will melt
all error. Yours in divine
harmony, Mrs. SWIHART.

For Cranberry Growers.

The system of frost warnings for
the cranberry regions will be
revived on May Ist, for Wisconsin
points. After that date frosts will
be foreshadowed by telegraphing
warnings from Milwaukee to the
following places: Berlin, Necedah,
Tomah, Mather, Centralia, Hitch
cock, Millsonia, Norway Ridge,
Shipleys, Beaver Dam, Remington
Bearss Marsh, New Lisbon, Wis
consin Valley Junction, Sparta,
Deuster, Black River Falls,
baskerville, City Point, Peshtigo.
All the dispatches will be sent at
government expense. Last year
those sent to points on the St. Paul
road were transmitted at the
company's expense. A clause in
the new contract of the railroad
company with the telegraph COM
pany prohibits the railroad from
sending the frost warnings over
the wires of the western Union
Company.

Almost Drowned.

About 4 o'clock Friday after
noon in Duluth, two children of
Alfred La Moore, were playing
on the banks of Riller's creek in
the West end, when one of them,
a boy six years old, fell in. The
other boy ran to the house near
by and gave the alarm, when the
mother, who had been confined to
her bed for weeks and hopes for
whose recovery had almost been
abandoned, leaped out of her bed
and ran to the creek. Wading in,
she pulled the child out, but he
was almost dead. She was at once
taken back to bed, and now prob
ably lies in a dying condition.

Roscoe Conkling.

Roscoe Conkiing is dead. There
are lessons in his life that our
young men ought not to lose.
Mr.. Conkling was a man of COM
handing ability and answering
integrity. For nearly a quarter of
a century he was in public life, and
not penny of ill-gotten gain ever
found its way to his pockets, and
not single corrupt act ever mar
red his record. Few men have a
record that is so beautiful and
bright. AS a result he was great
ly respected for his honesty and
integrity even by his bitterest
enemies. Whatever one might say
against him, no one ever thought
of saying he is dishonorable or dis
honest. With such characteristics
he was mighty power in the
political party to which he gave
allegiance for long years. In
many respects he was the fore
most man and in some respects
the most influential man with the
masses who thought practically as
he thought. Especially was this
true in the state of New York.
For many years he could carry
the State whenever he wanted to.
In view of all this, the question
is often asked, Why was he never
prominently brought forward as
candidate for the presidency? The
answer is not difficult to give.
With all his ability and common
dable characteristics, he had one
fatal weakness. 1t was his egotism
and its accompanying exhibitions
of repugnant superiority. He ruled
with a rod Of iron. He was
always in the act of commanding,
and people tire of that sort Of
thing. When he resigned from
the Senate, he did so because his
will was not acknowledged as
supreme. He may have been
badly treated for aught we know,
but a man of less egotism would
have passed over the insult, if
there was one, and prohted by his
moderation. Mr.. Conkling's life
shows what uprightness of charac-
ter will do for a man and how
rashness of action and an utter
unbending will cut short a
brilliantly promising career

The Stevens Point Journal has
the following compliment in its
last issue about Geo. R. Gardner,
Wood County's candidate for
congress in the Ninth District:
Hon. Geo. r. Gardner of Grand
Rapids was in the city on Friday
The name of Mr.. Gardner has
been favorably mentioned in con-
nection with the Republican nomi-
nation for congress il this district.
Mr.. Gardner is an able lawyer and
as a man is highly regarded by
all who know him. Certainly the
nomination cannot be rendered to
a more worthy man or one who
would serve his constituents more
faithfully.

throat, but she was agile, and res
olutely held her ground. When
all the little ones were gone she
desperately fought off the dog
until she reached the door, which
she pulled to after her, and fell
falnting outside. The children
in the meantime ran to the nearest
homes, and eighth of a mile dis
tant and gave the alarm. Two men
soon came and killed the dog,
which had been terrorizing the
neighborhood for two days. The
grateful parents of the children
took up a subscription and gave
the young woman a fine saddle

torn to ribbons during her severe
encounter.

Radical changes in the running
of trains on the c. M. & St. Paul
line will be inaugurated the last Of
this month, including the running
of the Valley passenger train into
La Crosse. Station agent Han
cock informs us that that train
which now remains here over
night, will take on a new crew Of
hands here and will run tc
La Crosse, returning here about
o'clock in the morning. 1t will
take the place of No. SO, now
going east at o:O4 a. M, which will
be a fast train later in the day
The transfer of passengers between
the Valley division and the main
line will therefore be made largely
at Lacrosse when this change goes
into effect, which is a blue prospect
for the hotel keepers. Tomah

been made and the Valley trains

their grip ever since. But now

The Cost of Democratic Honors in

it costs to run ON the Democratic
ticket for certain offices in that city.
For Comptroller the nominee is as
sessed the comfortable sum of 49,.

and District Attorney the price is
the same.
For City Judge and State Senator
the tariff is 81, 900 each. ltcosts but
the paltry sum of $4,000 to run for
the District Court. The aspirant for
the Board of Aldermen pays 3d.
500. To be put on the track for the
Assembly requires $1,000, and the
entrance fee for a seat in the Board
of Aldermen is $1,000. The hand

500.

suppose it is required for "legiti-

THE TRAIN DISPATCHER.

How few there are who, when rid
ing along in comfort and safety up
on one of our railroad lines, ever
think of the officer who is watching
the progress of their train, direct
ing its movements from station to
station, and side tracking the num-
erous other trains upon the road, in
order to present clear track to the
one in which they are riding; and
yet the lives of all the passengers
are really entrusted to his vigilance
and care. A moments neglect or
thoughtlessness, moments doze in
his chair, single glass of liquor to
befuddle his brain, and sudden death
IN its most hideous form may be the
lot of those whom twas his duty to
watch and protect. There seems to
be hardly any other position among
all the numerous avocations of a civ
ilized life calling for as great de-
gree of unrelaxing watctfulness and
involving so fearful responsibility.
Who is there who cannot safely
allow his thoughts to wander for a
few minutes during the day, and so
obtain some little relief from the
pressure of business cares 2 Hardly
one except the train dispatcher. For
him there must be no relaxation OF
the mind while he remains on duty.
Not a minute of day dreaming; not
an instant Of forgetiulnes. So con-
slant, SO great responsibility can
not fail to wear upon a mans life
and vigor and make him old before
his time.
When we consider the nature OF
his duties, it must be matter of sur
prise that so few accidents occur
which can justly be charged upon
the train dispatcher. A thousand
times day does he give orders for
the safety of the trains under his
direction, and scarcely once in a
generation does he wearied brain
TOR an instant relax it's watchfulness
These men, in whose hands our lives
have been placed time and again,
and who have safely carried us
through all the dangers which en-
vironed us, are certainly entitled to
at least the degree of thankfulness
that is implied by an occasional re-
membrance of their existence.--Rdit
