ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. 2.-Notwithstan1-
ing that thirteen days have elapsed since
Joseph Feuchs SO brutally slew his
young aud newly welded wife at Bad
River, large posse of men is still in
hot pursuit of the murderer, stimuli ses
further by a Big reward offered for
Feuch,, and by the fact that it IS known
that he is alive and still hiding in
the swamp. Feuohs was seen
Tuesday night by one of his pur-
suers and was shot at several times, but
without effect, and he succeeded in IS
Gaping. The murderer is probably living
on wild berries and small game, and
from appearances will hold out for some
time, but it is almost certain that he
will ultimately be captured. The chances
of Feucas being lyucped when caught
have become considerably smaller since

il perfect health, receives mysterious in
timstion of approaching death from dis
ease OF the heart, lungsor liver. The dis
ease is soon sfterward developed, and the

An eminent Eoglish physician recently
explained these mysterious premonitions
by the fact that the disease led at the
time of the dream, and that the nervous
system, beiu z more active than in wax

unessiness n the part affected to the

Our ancestors made science of one iro-

He SHALL HAVE A FAIR SHOW.
The Milwaukee Sentinel insists that
Commissioner Tanner should have fair
show; and ungraciously remarks that be
cause he il a Grand Amy man he IL
bitterly attacked by the democratic press.
This is Ia untrue as it is unfair. No
objection il made to Mr. Tanner because
he is a Grand Army man. Gen. Black
was a Grand Army man and is one to iayi
and is popular with the democrats. His
wounds and his disabilities, however we're
made the constant Aout and jeer of the
partisan press, although be is 80 disabled
by Lis wounds as to be almost deprived
of the use of both arms. The attempt TO
seoure for Tanner sympathy for hia mis-
takes, because he is Grand Army man is
little piece of partisanshiP quite IN
worthy the Sentinel.
Bot Mr. Tanner is entitled to fair
judgment He is a veteran most cruelty
MANNED by the war. Naturally, he be
lieves that the soldiers are entitled to the
most liberal treatment in the way Of pen
sions. This has, OF oonrse, biased mis-
mind and he leans toward the broadcast
liberality. All this is pardonab,s.
But, If the current reports be true,
Commissiuner Tanner mas set himself
above the laws, aud the Sentinel seeks TO
defend him where he is defenseless The
point il that the oommissioner refuses to
issue pensions Tor 81 per month which
is one-fourth disability in the
case of the ENLISTED man. Now the law
fixes on a certain class OF oasee, ghere
loss of leg, foot, arm, or hand or eyes ID
not involved, pension of IS per month
for total disability TO perform manual
labor, and for an inferior disability, an
amount proportionate to that provided
for total disability. This is the absolute

five years the exam lining eurgeous have
been reporting examinations ard fixing
the degree OF disability ut one fourth,
which OF course fixed their rating at ~

This might give it q show Of legality
But it is the arbitrary edict OF this man
that because he thinks no pensloner
ought TO have less than $4S per year
he will issue pensions on oue-tourth dis
ability ratings at hali-pension rates
This may be the amount or the least
amount the soldier onght to have. But
