MILWAUKEE, November 27-The
bloodstained records of Judge Lynch

crime than was committed Sunday
night at Preston, in Templeton

Olsen was partially insane and some

struggles and the screams OF his fam
lily, without allowing him time to pm

the house. Once outside, Olsel
learned what was to be don,

nited suicide last Friday evening
by hanging. She was engaged to
Young man, but her parents insisted
that she should wait four years, and
forbade her accepting further atten-

supper last Friday evening Miss Essle
refused to eat and soon left the room.
She procured a rope and went quietly
into the back yard, where she
mounted the fence by large cedar
tree and adjusted the rope to limb;
then placing it around her neck she
eased off the fence. Her neck was not
broken, but she slowly ohoked to
death.

MALONE AND FORAKER.

Two Good Men Who VIII Win the Two
Great Political Fights In 1889.
The State elections to be held this
fall are of more than ordinary i'm
portance, for on the result turns the
political complexion of at least one
branch OF the National Legislature,
the question of Republican asceniancy
in the new South, and, in this State,
the final decision of the people as to
the copartnership existing between
David B Hill and the saloon men.
The most picturesque and vigorous OF
the several State canvasses will be
those in Virginia and Ohio, for in both
these States a strong and unhincning
individuality is infused into the cam
paign by the candidacy OF General
Malone and Governor Foraker. They
typify and embody the issues in both
contests. and in each the victory that
awaits them will be largely personal
1t will be especially so in Virginia,
where the Democrats have already
raised the cry of "Mahoneism" in the
endeavor to make it odious in the eyes
of others. But reading the platform
of the Virginia Republicans, for which
General Malone is responsible, puts
another light on '.Mahoneism, " which
is there shown to mean fair ballOtfor
every voter, fair settlement OF the
State debt; the maintenance OF the
public school system, and protection
to the industrial enterprises that have.
in six years, opened up millions Of
new wealth in the State The sterling
Republicanism of the Virginia leader
embodies all these questions, and it is
on them that his party appeals 10 Vir-
ginians to put him in the Gubernatori-
al chair.
There is every reason to look for
success. In the last Presidential con-
test the Democrats claimed less than
1000 majority for Cleveland They
might have claimed twenty with as
much fairness, for the vote-counting
was entirely in their hands and they
suited themselves in making the
figures Yet in the face of wholesale
frauds in counting the vote OF the
State. the Republicans made progress
steadily in the last four years, and

PENSIONS FOR VETERANS.
What the Grand Army Wants. and What
1t Ought to Have.

What the Grand Army Wants, and What
1t Ought to Have.
In his annual address to his COM
rades of the G. A. r, Commander-in-
Chief Major Warner made a strong
and eloquent plea in behalf of liberal
and equitable pension policy. He
counseled union of action, averring
that on account of division in its
ranks the Grand Army of the Republic
has never exercised its full influence in
pension and legislation. He was con-
fident that if the veterans are true to
themselves, before the next encamp-
ment every comrade disabled by age,
sickness or accident, and the widows
and orphans Of the veterans. will be
borne on the pension rolls. He be-
lieves that the service pension will
come, and predicted that the day is
not far distant when an honorable dis
charge from the Union army or navy
shall be all the evidence required to
secure pension to its holder.
The people will indorse these senti-
ments With plethoric treasury it
would be the height of National in
gratitude to allow Union veterans to
suffer from want and privation. They
certainly have claims upon the State
equal at least to those of the bond
holder" and as has we'll been said,
apothecaries' scales should not be used
to measure the rewards of men who
saved the country. - Minneapolis

held in the State for many years. This

THE FARMERS BOY.

Oh tell me not OF city beaux.
Who strut about with dyed mustaches,
Who owe the tailor for the clothes
In which they cut their extra dashes.
The city fop nee will choose
To tread with me the path Of life, sir.
And should he WOO, I'd er refuse;
I'd scorn to be a dandy's wife, sir
The farmer boy with rudy face,
Whose hand is brown with toll and tan, sir,
Whose brow is wet with honest sweat
Is my ideal OF man, sir.
He knows his place, and feels disgrace
Is not attached 10 honest labor,
He is blessing 10 his race.
goodlV man, kindly neighoor.
Meier sing to me OF city boys
Who walk the streets so very grandly,
Polite whene -er they meet the rich,
And bow and smile so very blandly.
The lowly poor they never see,
And needy one whenever meeting
They coldly pass, It's not genteel
To have a heart with kindness beating,
Then oh he farmers boy for me.
He holds communion sweet with nature;
He roams the fields with joyous glee,
All blithe Of limb and tall OF stature.
Fer him the fairest blossoms bloom,
Upon the air their fragrance breathing;
For him shall maidens gather flowers,
Around his brow their garlands wreathing.
For him the brook goes laughing by,
The ripping ril and murnuring rivers
For him the stars beieck the sky,
Their glory shining DER him ever.
For him the feathered sOngsters send
Their joyous music on the breeZes;
Their notes harmonious ever blend,
To form lay his heart that pleaseS.
Then oh for me the farmers boy,
The one in every truth most wealthy,
The man whose heart is light with JOY.
Whose rudy face bespeaks him healthy.
The farmers boy whose wealth OF mind
Shows that he learns just what he can, sir,
Whose heart is ever true and kind
Hes my ideal Of a man, sir.
