BOLD ROBBERY OF A WISCONSIN
CENTRAL TRAIN AT CADOTT.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Aug. s.
Great conmotion was created this morn
ing when the news reached here that as
the Wisconsin Central train from the
east pulled into Cadott, twelve miles east
Of this city, a masked robber boarded
the train and proceeded to intimidate the
porter. The conductor was asleep and
was robbed of his watch. About
dozen passengers were in the Milwaukee
sleeper. and several watches and probab
" about 500 IN money were secured.
The Chicago sleeper was not entered.
Tie robber pulled the bell-rope as the
train was little past Cadott, aud taking
n blanket from the coach deliberately
disappeared. He is described as a small
man, but no one offered to follow him.
/ The sheriff has gone to the scene.

TRAINED FISHES.

ITOul alldlild tOuSlllutlpl.
William Pair, of Atlanta, Ga, who
pets fishes Behind his bathing pond he
has beautiful little lake surrounded by
tai fence and filed with trained fishes
The water is alive with perch, Dream and
carp, but so well trained are they that it
is next to impossible to catch one with n
hook and line. The water in the pond
is blue and clear. When you reach the
rustic seat on the bauk it seems as if you
were looking upon large French plate
mirror. After moment spent IN listen
ing to the lonesome song of lazy bull
frog, chanting melodiously from beneath
an overhanging bush, you reach into a
box behind you and get stale cracker.
You pitch 1t IN the water and then a
change comes over the pond. Ole, two,
three, four-a hundred perch aud Dream
come darting from the sandy bottom and
congregate about the white cracker, each
waiting for the other to attacl, i5 first.
While they are waiting larf carp, q
great ungainly fellow foot a.. a half
long, rises lazily up aud sucks in the
tempting morsel with smack heard all
over the pond. Another piece of cracker
goes in and the small fry gather abou,
it like chickens about a strange looking
bug. The king of the tribe, large
red beliled Dream makes da SD for the
cracker; he misses it, another and an
other tries his luck, and then it is a free
for all scramble; the water boils ana
ripples. and one smack follows another
in quick succession until the cracker is
secured. 1t is pretty sight to watch
the fishes when they are fed. 1t is very
seldom that they bite hook, no matter
how tempting is tie bait. Mr.. P air has
a genuine affection for his finny family
and it is exec adingly rare for one of them
to adorn his table.

THURSDAY, AUGUST Is, 1889.

REPORT OF BURKE's SQUEALING FALSE
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Reports were sent
out from Chicago last night to the effect
thar Burke had made full confession.
To support this statement it was said,
with some positiveness, that the states
attorney had been in conference with
Burke for several hours during the even
ing. and that the man had at last told all
he knew Of the murder. Diligent in
quiry fails to eubstantiate any of the
statements. Burke was quite alone dur
ing the entire evening, and received no
visitors, official or otherwise.

THE REpUBLJC OF THE FIT TIRE

From the Philadelphia Record.
What Gen. Butler says of a future adj
mission of Great Britain into the Union
with the United States and Canada, and
of its far reaching influences, is interest
ing as philosophic generalization. Such
an alliance of the English speaking ma
tons he says, would be able TO bid 3efi
ance to oil Europe and Asia. The United
States and Urea: Britain, having none
else to fear, might dispense with their
two costly navies, and thus take the leap
in general disarmament. Much of this
may be regarded, for the present. at
least, as belonging to the region of ITO
pia rather than to practical statesman
ship. But complete reciprocity between
the United States and Canada would be
a great stride toward political union. and
might lead in the end TO a realization of
Gen. Buffers hope--a republic embrac
ing the English speaking peoples of the
world. Such republic would insure
the worlds peace.

GOVERNOR KNAPP.

Hon. Lyman +. Knapp of this town,
and Judge of probate for this district, was
on Friday last appointed by President
Harrison governor of the Territory of
Alaska. The salary is $1,000 a year and
there is liberal allowance for expenses.
The incumbent, Coy. SwinefOrd, is desir-
Gus of handing over to his successor the
reins of government as speedily as may
be. Mr.. Knapp spent the day Tuesday
with him in New York.
Gov. Knapp's plans are naturally some
what vague as yet. He had made no eff
fort to obtain the position and had no
notion that he was likely to get it till a
day or two before the announcement of
his nomination appeared in the papers.
He has therefore had little chance to pre-
pare for the change of residence and pur-
suits. 1t is probable that he will start
for Sitka, the capital of the Territory, in
about four weeks. He will doubtless
make Seattle, Washington Territory, his
home, going thence to Sitka as often and
staying there so long as may be necessary.
The appointment of Judge Knapp is
credited by the newspapers to Secretary
of War Proctor, and we presume that the
newspapers are right in this instance
Any way, he got it, and has been kept
busy the past week in receiving the con-
gratulations of his numerous friends. 1t
would be useless for us to review his rec
ord. He has spent his life in this com
munity, and all know him and join in con-
graduating him on his advancement.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Mr. f. n. Bissell of East Shoreham is
finishing the preparations for his ship
ment of Merinos and Galloway cattle to
Buenos Ayres, early next month. He
will be accompanied on the trip by his
son Henry.
MIR. Chas. A. Chapman is home from
New York, where he went with the lot
of Merinos his father bought for the
South American market on the order of
New York firm. The animals were
shipped by the steamer "Cragside" and
will 60 through on her to their destina-
tion, Montevideo.
The horses belonging to Messrs. Ham

Wright, and intended for the South
America market, will leave here for New
York tomorrow and will go out on the
steamer leaving on Wednesday next.
Messrs. Hammond and Potter have ten
head here; and two more, the mare pur-
chased in California and the gelding j.
O.. are at Newport News, Va, and will

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Mr.. John L. Buttolph of the board of
selectmen says that he never consented to
the continuance of the town liquor agen-
cy under its present management, so that
our statement of last week, that the Sc
lectmen decided that it was best to keep
it going, was not true so far as Mr.. But
tolph is concerned; that was, however,
the opinion of the other two members of
the board.
Judge Veasey of Rutland is prominent
ly mentioned for the vacancy in the in
terstate commerce commission caused by
the resignation of Col. Walker, and some
at least of the VermOnters in Washington
think he will get the place. He is genial,
able and honest man, who would honor
his State in that place or in any other.
But he cannot we'll be spared from the
supreme bench.
Maj Valentine of Bennington, ap-
pointed commissioner of agriculture and
mining under an act of the last legisla-
ture, has sent out about 10000 blanks
asking for information from farmers and
others. 1t looks as if it would take him
the rest of this decade and all the next
to compile the information thus obtained
and as if it would not be good for much
when it was compiled.
The prospective vacancy in the office
of probate Judge caused by the appoint
ment of Judge Knapp as governor of
Alaska gives rise to much speculation as
to his successor. The men most promi-
nently mentioned in connection with the
place are Jas. M. Slade, Esq, Henry S.
Foote, Esq, and Mr.. Oliver Severance of
this town, Hon. A. d. Hayward of Wey-
bridge and Hon. Myron Platt of Shore
ham. The governor will appoint for the
unexpired term, which ends Dec.l, 1890.
