Where Ella Wheeler Wilcox Writes.


NEW YoEK, April The corner where
Ella Wheeler Wilcox does her writing IS q
pretty place, but she doesn't shut hersef up
in a dungeon alone 10 compose her poetry, for
this Is in one csrnsr of her Parier. On the
table are many dainty, woraanly trihes. A
fur rug is on the Goor under her dainty little
wicker rocking chair, and beside tie table is
q large easy chair, where suspect her hus-
band is accustomed to sit to chat with her
when he is at nome.
The rest of the paTler is filed with lovely
things. 4 piano stands In one cerner a cozy
lounge piled high With splendid cushions; a
chimney piece filed with bronzes and other
faRciful trifles, draperies of plush, of broca-
teue, and all the things now considered neces-
sary for handsome parlor, hsl1 all somehow
paTtaking something Of her own nature.
There are pictures, plaques and cabinets,
portisres and elaborate ottornaus but each
and every thing melts into the other so that
the whole picture would not be complete il
one thing was lacking. Opening from her

WATER RESERVE EXCITEMENT.

WATER RESERVE EXCITEMENT.
By the provisions Of the act OF Con-
gress the land known az Water Re-
serve was open for settlement to-day
Saturday The land office at Wau-
san was opened to receive filings on
this land at nine O'Clock this morn
was by odds the greatest that Wuu-
sau has ever seen. The city was
thronged with would be homestead
ers. The jam was SO great that
even standin room wi,s at a premi-
um The court house yard was
thronged and as early as Thursday
afternoon the applicants began to
form in line at the window where the
applica tons We're to be received.
The men had provided themselves
with blankets, OvercOats and pro-
visions and remained in their posi-
tions Thursday night and all day
Friday. Friday evening there was
something OF Il riot. The late COM
ers tried to force the men away who
had been in line. The police interior
ed and used their clubs freely. Sever
al were injured in the melee. The
militia was ordered to be in rradi-
ness to preserve order. An effort
was made to clear the court yard
but it was unsuccessful and when
last accounts were received the men
in line still held their positions.
The most valuable of these lands
are in this county and quite a part OF
them in this vicinity. The excitement
here is quite strong. 1t is claimed by
good lawyers that who ever settles
first ON the lands after they We're OPP
ened to settlement, that is after
twelve O'Clock Friday night would
hold them whether they were filed OH
or not. A large number left here Fri
day afternoon to be ready to move
ON to the land which they haG selec-
ted directly after twelve O'Clock, and
there is from one to four and in some
instances more squatters on every
desirable tract in this vicinity and we
presume it is the same all over the
district Teams have been busy all
day hauling lumber to put up shan
ties. In most every case two or more
different persons have laid claim to
the same tract and it is q question OF
minutes and in some cases seconds az
IL
it is claimed that parties in theirha
to lie the first ones on moved on IL
few minutes before twelve. Under
the provisions of the act any who
squatted on the land before the Goth
lost their right not only to that tract
but to any other opened under the
provisions of the act.
There is bound to be any amount
of litigation over the matter and law
yers will reap a rich harvest. In the
first place there is bound to be q con-
test between the party filing first and
the party moving on first and i'll u
large number OF cases there will be
further question to decide as to who
moved ON first.
The majority of the squatters are
we'll armed and will not be ousted
from their rights without n struggle
and it is feared that there may be
more or less trouble before the mat
ter is settled and possible some lives
lost. The claims are for the most
part in the woods and away frOmnay
settlement and in the present state
of excitement and conflicting claims
disputes will arise and all may not
wait for the slow arbitration of the
courts especially as there are many
desperate characters among the adj
venturers seeking claims.

We're at Green Bay Tuesday as wit
ncsses in the suit of the Scott Lumber
Co., VS.. Oneida county. This suit
grew out of the Scott Lumber Co.'s
refusal to pay it's taxes in this town.
They first got out an injunction re-
straining the sale of the land for tax
es This was dissolved by Judge Par
ish and then the company brought
this action against the county. At
the time the parties left, the case had
not been decided and SO we have not
heard the decision.
The fair which the Ladies' Aid
Society have been holding all the
week for the benefit of the Congrega-

with an excellent oyster supper at the
Veronica. The ladies were fairly sue
cessful in their enterprise. They have
not settled up yet, SO they cannot
tell exactly how much they did clear.
They sold something over seventy
five dollars worth of goods at the
fair and took in nearly sixty dollars
at the supper OF course theirexpen-
SEES are to come out of this but it will
still leave them a nice margin.
