The Lime.KiIn Club

AS the meeting opened in due form,
Brother Gardner called for the report
of the chairman of the committee on
medical science, and that individual
reported as follows on further tests
of the Brown-Sequard elixir of life:
! 6. The sixth test was made on Judge
Uncomfortable Jackson, and of his
own lee will. This brother was not
named until he was Is years old, and
the name is very appropriate one.
He was never comfortable a moment
in his life, and his demeanor gave
outstanders the idea that he had pick
ed up q carpet tack as he sat down.
Four ounces of elixir taken from a
squint-eyed lamb was injected into
his right arm, and he was sent out to
walk around for half al hour. When
he returned all the wrinkles had dis
appeared from his brow, he had a
grin of contentment on his face, and
he wanted to sit down on two chairs
and stay there all day. The judge
has only had one dose, but there
seems to be no danger of return to
his old ways. His wife says he is SO
meek and lazy that she is at a loss
how to handle him, and that he can't
be cot out of bed in the morning
without throwing cold water on him:
z. Prof. Sundown Smith was one OF
the first to apply for the elixir, but the
committee held off on him, owing to
his physique. He is nearly seven
feet tall and weighs only ninety-two
pounds, and they were afraid he hadn't
the constitution to stand it. He made
q formal demand, however, and was
given q six ounce dose of the elixir IN
the left leg. He went away to buy a
washboard to send home, and since
that time has not been seen by any OF
his friends It is supposed that the
liquid, which was taken from moth
erless lamb, produced melancholy in
the feelings Of the professor and drove
him to suicide. Search and inquiry
have been made in every direction,
but he cannot be found.

miral Sarsaparilla Tompkins, one OF
the Oldest members in years, the club
has on it's rolls. He is 72 years old,
walks with two canes, and only at
tends the meetings monthly, and then
comes down in one-horse wagon.
Of late years the only part he has
taken in the proceedings has been to
move that any matter advanced by
Shindig Watkins be laid on the ,ab.e.
It was thought safe to experiment
little on the old man, as his death
would be no great loss anyhow, and
the liquid was taken from Berkshire
hog weighing about 25O pounds The
old man was on hand and very anxious
and he was given ten ounces and
loaded into his wagon. He drove on
slowly and without excitement, but
when only two squares away he licked
the old horse into a run and began
shouting at the top of bis svoice. Moth
inc could be done with him at home.
He thrashed his wife and children,
cleaned out grocery, and threw a
policeman over fence. He declared
himself the boss of the town, and to
show his strength and agility he
Jumped eleven feet and lifted a bar
rel of pork. He went to bed feeling
like man of 20, but the illusion was
only temporary. Some time after
midnight the old man got up, went
out to the woodshed and there hung
himself by the neck with a dog
chain.

A NEW BRANCH.

A communication was received from
Judge Carryal Parker, Secretary,
stating that a branch Lime-kiln Club
had just been organized at Plttsburg,
on the south side of the river, and
that its name would be the South
Side Lime-Kiln Club. The officers
are: Col. Kyban Long, President;
Greentree Smith, Treasurer; Old Man
Jones, Keeper of the. Bear Trap; Lay
back Taylor, Outer Guard; Prof;
Blunt, Visiting Delegate and General
Grand Bouncer.
It was stated that the branch started
business with 81 in cash, a second
hand stave, four notices, a stuffed
'possum, and a dozen umbrellas.
They have taken great spirit, and will
no doubt push forward to success.
The above communication also con-
tained an inquiry as to the best time
to cut a bee tree, and Brother Gardner
replied:
Oar am seberal occashuns when
bee trees should be cut, an seberal
odder occashuns when dey should be
left alone. If you want honey mighty
bad, YOU kin jump at de tree mos any
time in August, but if you jist want
honey to sorter tone up de stomach
de bes' way is to wait till some time
/ in October. I hev cut down bee trees
when de bees war at hum, an when
dey was gone away, an I am free to
say dat I injoyed myself much de mos
in de latter case. De secretary Will
answer to de effeck dat de wisest way
is to gin some odder chap half de honey
fur gatherin de crap.

Emerson, &he philosophers son, who has

A watch was at onco placed ut the grave
but the general opinion hero is that the

secured at least tho skull, which was prob
ably what they were after. Great indig-

The meeting closed tonight with grand
banquet and an address by Henri Waiter
son, who spoke ON the general state Of the
country,
In concluding his address Mr.. Watterson
length. Speaking of the richness of the
fields to be opened there, he said:
But what is the value Of all this il we
have not order and law, regulated by an in
telligent and responsible government How
shall it profit you, or us, or anybody, II it
be not brought under the spell Of that
wizards wand which we call civilization,
and TO whom shall this wand be committed
to Anglo-Saxon, with centuries of en-
lightened freedom behind him, or TO Afri-
can, Just emerged from slavery,
mo one can comprehend the meaning Of
this great menace to the prosperity of the
South, who has not been there, who does
not live there; nor is it possible for it to be
trcated with wisdom by any other than
local agencies. Cannot the thinking peo-
phs of the North imagine, II they are un-
able TO see this Can they no. feel that
they may trust the intelligence, humanity
and Christianity Of the South, and the tes-
timony Of few truly responsible North

vatei

a SLIGHT SENSATION.
The Pam American Delegates Given a
Banquet on Sunday.

BUFFALO, Oct. 14.-Mr. William Z.
cursion is much exercised over the results
Of Erastus Wiman's dinner to the delegate
at Niagara Falls last night.
Mr.. Curtis says Mr.. Wiman was one of
the committee of entertainment at New
York and subsequently asked that he be
allowed to give the delegates dinner at
Niagara Falls. Mr.. Curtis replied that
Secretary Blaine's instructions were thai
no formalities should be entered into on
Sunday during the trip and that the dele
gates should be allowed to do as they liked
in that day.
Finally it was arranged that Mr.. Wiman
should give the dinner, but that it should
be entirely informal and that there should
be no speeches. Mr.. Curtis says notwith-
standing this, Mr.. Wiman left copies of
his proposed speech with the newspapers
In New York before leaving. Mr.. Curtis
this morning telegraphed to Secretary
Blaine that Mr.. Wiman had acted in bad
faith.
The party reached here from Niagara
Fall this morning and were driven in car
riages to the city hall, where they were re-
ceived by the mayor and others. They then
drove about the city.
After luncheon the party was driven to
one of the highest buildings in the city,
where fine view was had of Lake Erie,
Buffalo harbor and suburbs. The grain
elevators were also seen in operation. Next
in order OF entertainment was reception
at the Board of Trade rooms.
The event of the evening occurred when
Minister Varras of Chilli proposed senti-
ment thus: "a tribute of respect to the

within the province of a newspaper. It has
become the custom of many of the leading
newspapers OF the country to publish, from
week to week, instalmcuts of serial stories in
the column Of the paper. The WISCONSIN
has not been in the habit Of publishing this
kind OF literature but in order TO meet a
popular demand for this class OF reading We
determined upon the publication OF work
such as we have above described. THE NEWS
PAPER LIBRARY is novel idea. and has never
to our knowledge been undertaken by any
other publishers II practically gives to the
readers Of the WISCONSIN two publications
for the price OF one. The first number of the
Newspaper Library contains a story entitled
THE GAMBLER" translated expressly for
the Newspaper Library. from the celebrated
Russian author, Fec. DISHONESTY. 1t was
issued in January. Number was issued the
18th of March and contains the highly popu-
lar novel entitled NAPOLEON SMITH. by a
New York gentleman. The number of the
