Use Your Handkerchief.

There are some of the best Christian
people who do not know how to carry
themselves in religious assemblages,
says Talmadge in Ladies' Home
Journal. They never laugh, they new
er applaud, they never hiss, yet, not
withstanding. are disturbers of public
worship.
There is, for instance, the coughing
brigade. If any individual right
ought to be maintained at all hazards.
it is the right of coughing. There are
times when we must cough. There is
an irresistible tickling in the throat
which demands audible demonstra-
ton; it is moved, seconded and unani-
mously carried, that those who have
irritated windpipes be heard. But
there are ways, with hand or hand
kerchief. of breaking the repercussion.
A smothered cough is dignified and ac-
ceptable if you have nothing better to
offer. But how many audiences have
had their peace sacrificed by unre-
strained expulsion of air through the
glottisi After sudden change in the
weather there is a fearful change
made by the coughing brigaoe. They
open their mouths wide and make the
arches ring with the racket. They
begin with faint "A hem" and grad
ually rise and fall through all the
scale of dissonance, as much as to say:
'Hear, all ye good peoplel | have a
cold! | have bad coldi | have an
awfully bad coldi Hear how it racks
me, tears me, tOrments mel Ii seems
as if my diaphragm must split. | took
this awful bad cold the other night.
l added to it last Sunday. Hear how
it goes off! There it is againi Oh
dear mel If | only had Browns
troches," or the syrup of squills, or a
mustard plaster, or a wooden stocking
turned wrong side out around my
neck" Brethren and sisters who
took cold by sitting in the same
draught join the clamor, and it is glot-
tbs to CLOTHS, aud laryngitis to laryn-
gifts, and chorus of scrapings and
explosions which make the service
hideous for a preacher of sensitive
nerves. We have seen people under
the pulpit coughing with their months
so far open we have been tempted TO
Jump into them. There are some
people who have convenient, eccles-
iastical cough. 1t does not trouble
them ordinarily, but when in church
You get them thoroughly cornered
with some practical truth, they smoth-
er the end of the sentences with
favorite paroxysm. There is man
in our church who is apt to be taken
with one of those fits just as the con-
tribution box comes to him, and can
not seem to get his breath again until
he hears the pennies rafting in the
box behind him. Cough, by all means
but put on the brakes when you come
to the down grade, or send the racket
through at least one fold of your peck
ct handkerchief.

Spring Lake.

This community was greatly shock
ed ON the 18th inst. by the accidental
shooting and subsequent suicide of
young mannamed There Thoreson. The
facts as near as we can gather them
ale as follows: In company with a
BOY about Is years old, named John
Haagenson, he had been hunting with
a shot gun. About noon they came
up to the house OF young Thoreson's
father and laid the gun in the buggy
with the mnZZle lying on the rear end
board and pointing backward. After
amusing themselves for short time
about the barn the boy said he must
go home. The young man said "don't
go, its so lonesome here, let's go out in
the woods and shoot some squirrels.
He seized the gun by the barrel and
jerked it out of the buggy very care
lessly. The boy was ON the point of
warning him not to be so careless
when the gun was discharged. He
fell 10 the ground but Immediately
rose to his feet and said twas the gun
cockedf" The boy was frightened
and ran home home Z of mile. No
men were at home so he ran back past
Thoreson's house in the opposite d.
rection for help. Ha stopped and
found Thoreson lying on the barn
floor with 2 pocket knife by his side.
He had cut cash across his wrist,
but had not severed the main artery.
He said "get me some whisky. am
in awful misery" The boy had to go
to the second house before finding any
assistance. When they returned he
had been to the granary and found a
sharp tool knife with which he had
cut his throat, seyering the trachea
and @sophagus. There was also a
wound on the breast where it was sur
missed he stabbed for the heart but
struck the breas: bone. The gun shot
wound was ON the left front side near
the lower ribs and would have caused
death alone in a short time. he was
an eccentric, disagreeable fellow and
had been confined in the Ellsworth
Jail months in default of bail to
keep the peace, the complainant being
his father. Was liberated 2 or
months ago. No other person was
about the premises. His father lives
alone and was away from home.

The bulwark of our American free
institutions is popular education fur
nished by the common. school syst sm
of this country, and against this sys-
TEN the Democratic party of Wiseon-
sin has unequivocally arrayed itself.
While it is true that many Democrats
as individuals protest against the en-
croachments of priestly intolerance
upon our free schools the party as an
organization is strongly committed TO
a policy which if carried out means
the utter destruction of the free
school system which has been so WISE
ly fostered and upon the continuance
of which the porpetuity of popular
government so largely depends. 1t is
unfortunate for the Badger Democracy
that it permitted few INSCRIPTIONS
demagogGes to build its platform upon
so weak foundation but the hope of
securing the spoils of office by appeal
ing to mistaken prejudices was too
strong to be resisted and the most
dangerous element of the party was
permitted to have it's way in oppOsi-
ton to the better judgment of The
more respectable portion. The real
and practically the only issue in the
pending campaign in this State, forced
upon the people by the Democratic
party, is whether or not the common
school system shall be destoyed. The
Democratic party has adopted plat
form which points toward the disin.
tegration of a system of popular edu-
| cation which has made this one of the
| grandest nations in the civilized
world, and the Republican party, true
to itself and the people, proudly ac-
cepts the challenge and champions the
cause of a government founded upon
the intelligence of its subjects-an in.
telligence mainly established by the
common or district school against
which the Democratic party has de-
cided to labor. The attention of every
State in the Union has been attracted
to Wisconsin by the grave Importance
of the question at issue and the Re-
publican party has the most hearty
sympathy of all who would forever
keep church and State entirely sepa-
rated. Upon this question the people
of Wisconsin are becoming thorough
ly aroused and if there has heretofore
existed any doubt as to the result of
the contest such doubt has been dis
PEELED and the question has resolved
itself into that of the majority to be
given for the side of popular educa-
ton. That majority should be so de-
cided as to prevent future presenta-
ton of this issue, and we are glad to
note that many prominent Democrats
throughout the State are boldly repud-
iating the action of their party and
will vote for the reelection of Gov.
Hoard--not because they love him
more, but because he stands as an ex-
ponent of a principle which they hold
far above that of party expediency.
All honor to such Democrats who
while they stand by their colors upon
questions of party policy, upon gener-
al 'polities" prove true to the CON-
mon school whose continued existence
is of far greater Importance than
party success.
