THE emigration agent of the Chicago,
Nil. & st. Paul Railway thinks there will
be large immigration into Wisconsin
and other northwestern states this year.
Amajority of the applications for informa-
ton are being received from persons in
Canada and the Middle States. On the
other hand, Dakota people in consider
able numbers are writing to the officials
of the Virginias for information about
those states and the inducements held
out for agriculturists. The recent fatal
billiards. in that region are apt not only
to deter future immigration, but to make
people already there look around for a
home in less rigorous climate.

TIE Goodrich steamer City of Luding-
ton, Capt. J. w. Gilman, had quite an
experience yesterday in the ice, and for
several hours it looked as though her
cargo of eggs would be unpleasantly an
Gent before she would be able to make
the river. The Ludington left Milwau-
kee at o'clock Friday evening and had
clear water and plain sailing until she
turned Crosse Point. Here considerable
ice was encountered, which had come in
with the shore wind on Friday. The ice
kept getting thicker and thicker all the
way from the point, and at 3 o'clock the
steamer stuck fast at point about
mile and a half north OF the crib. An ex-
animation showed that the ice ahead of
her was composed of hummOcks of I'M
known thickness thrown up by the jam
ming of the ice foes, and further effort
was given up until daylight. AS soon as
it was light enough to see the crew were
set to work cutting the steamer free
This was accomplished without much
difficulty by the use of axes, ice-tongs,
and ice-picks. The steamer then backed
out, and under full head of steam
"bucked" into the same hole she came
out of. Slow progress was made by al
ternate cutting and bucking for couple
of hours, but about 8 o'clock the steamer
found herself stuck so thoroughly that
the situation looked serious. She had
made an unusually savage buck at the ice,
and when she slowed upit was found that
she was high and dry on the ice with pref
ty nearly half her length out of water.
It was at once evident that the crew were
in for an all-day job, and the clerk, w.
S. Canright, and the steward, Harry De-
ment, started for shore over the ice.-
After an exciting and at times perilous
journey of about three hours, they reach
ed the water-works safe and sound, and
FASTENED to the company's Office with
report of the situation. The veteran
Capt. Butlin, President OF the company,
went to the shore at the water-works and
examined the situation with a glass;
The wind changed to the southwest and
he made up his mind that the wind would
loosen up the ice sufficiently to allow the
boat, aided by the efforts of the crew, to
make the harbor. His Judgment was
confirmed about 100 by a telephone
message from the crib that the Luding-
ton was clear and was making good pro-
gress toward the river. She arrived at
her dock about $50 none the worse for
her battle with the ice.-Chicago Sunday |

Milwaukee Sentinel; One of the most
remarkable characters-a veritable walk
ing lead mine-tramped into Ashland
over the Northern Pacific Railway the
other day. He STOPPED at Norwegian
hotel, where he gave his name as G. III.
Osgood, and told the following story:
When quite young man he entered the
regular army in the Second United States
Dragons, where he remained for thirteen
years, participating in the Mexican war.
He afterward took part in the war of the
rebellion and was captured before Vicks-
burg. He put in time In seven Of the
rebel prisons and toward the close of the
war escaped from prison at Tyler, Texas,
not, however, without being shot so bad
ly that his left foot had to be amputated.
His course after recovery took him to-
ward Mexico, where he was captured by
a band of maurauding greasers, after be-
ing literally filed with lead and losing
one hand. He was strung up to a tree,
but was released on promising to join
them and act as interpreter. He was a
Spanish scholar. For twenty-five years
Osgood has been roaming the mountains
and plains with the Mexican outlaws.
He has seven bullets in his body, and ex-
hibited to Grand Army men here this
afternoon over forty bullet wounds. His
stomach is blue as are also the tips of
his fingers from the poison which comes
from copper bullets fired into him by
Mexican regulars. He decided about a
year ago to leave that wild country and
life and find his father and mother or
other relatives, if alive. He was captur-
ed with gang of outlaws, and when he
showed his discharge papers which he
had procured from Uncle Sam, he was re-
leased. When he last heard of his
parents they were at Old Superior. He
had not seen his mother for forty years,
and his father for twenty-five. He took
steamer from Vera Cruz and landed in
New York last fall and has since then
been working toward the home of his
parents. He arrived at Superior a few
weeks ago and there learned that his
mother, who had lived to be nearly 100,
was at Phillips, in Price County. So
he retraced his steps, travelling afoot
along the Northern Pacific during the re-
cent blizzard.
To-day he was offered railway ticket
to Phillips, but refused it, saying he
could not ride, the jar of the train start
ing blood to flowing from his many inter
nal wounds. He is as tough as a brick
and has face and nose shattered all to
pieces. The old mamie is 60-was be-
heved by all who saw him. He has let
tiers from General Sherman, General I'm
derwood, of Ohio, and from numerous
post commanders that he met en- route
from New York, giving unmistakable evi-
dence that his story is true. He left for
Phillips afoot this afternoon and will
travel twelve miles day. The distance
is eighty-three miles.

Mn sour,rrrr has certa;nlv misnndex-

Mr.. SoHUErTE has certainly misundex-
stood the article of p j. s. SO far as any,
thing personal to him was concerned
The article was not only written In a
spirit of utmost courtesy, but was COM
plmentary of Mr.. Schuette SO far as his
personality was concerned. OF course
it differed from him on the surplus ques-
ton. And right here it may be well to
state that P. J. SIS communication had
no reference to the disposition OF the
present accumulation In the treasury
That, tariff reformers regard as matter
of little concern. 1t is the policy which
results in constant accumulation OF
surplus against which their efforts are
directed. Suggesting means whereby the
surplus may be disposed of and thus
measurably justifying a continuance OF
the policy of over-taxation meets with
objection. No one will object to using
the present surplus to erect government
buildings. But to continue taxation and
commit the government to the policy OF
wasting the surplus by making appro-
priations for various things, the need OF
getting rid of the surplus being more
pressing than those things for which ap-
preparations are made, is line of pro-
cedure to which tariff reformers object
1t is bad sign when the government is
confronted with the question, In what
form of extravaganza can we spend this
money which has been collected from the
people in excess of the needs of the gov.
eminent? Understand that tariff reform.
ers are willing that taxes sufficient to
meet the needs of the government are
legitimate. But the need should exist
before the tax is collected, else the money
is sure to be squandered.

LAST weeks Tribune was something of
terror in the way of going for Messrs.
Estabrook and Baensch. The Pilot choos
es to know nothing of ''the pressing ne
ceesity" to which The Tribune refers, nor
does It choose to meddle in the rlmpus
which The Tribune has precipitated. 1t
would like to ask that Mr.. Baensch be
dealt with fairly in assuming the duties
of a position SO important as county
judge, but that its plea for fair dealing
may not be misconstrued. Probably the
confession that Mr.. Smart's appointment
would be much more to the liking OF
The Pilot, for reasons not at all personal
to Mr.. Baensch, may exonerate it from
mercenary motives.
Mr.. Baensch is young man, has grown
up in the city and in all his dealings has
been upright and honorable. Those who
know him best, even those who were
sincerely DESTROYS of Mr.. Smart's ap-
pointment, concede Mr.. Baensch's quail
ifcatiens for the position he holds and
look forward with confidence to his dis
charging it's duties with ability and fdel-
ity. He should be treated fairly. He is
himself disposed to do justice to every
one and in all his dealings has been a
gentleman. When his conduct of the
Office is such as to justify criticism it
should not be withheld. But Mr..
Baensch's past certainly justifies the ex-
pectation that he will make a faithful
and impartial judge There are SO few
of our young men who give good promise
that we should accord justice to those
who have in them elements of growth.

reason he did not accept the nomination

made by Delaney's friends that he would

This McFettridge construed as binding
him not to run against Delaney whose
