CHAPTER II.
The Sth OF February having arrived,
Mons. Tringle, smiling to himself at the
good joke he was going TO perpetrate, en-
tered the rear room of the wig-makers
shop. The Brou ladies had asked him
the preceding week whether or not he
would dress in costume, and with disre-
gard for truth quite in consonance with
the Father of Lies, he had replied:
"Ah, ladies, you know the state of my
health will not permit me to do So"
AS he opened the door Chabre, who was
expecting. him, was vigorously comb
ing something which looked like dilap-
tdated muff when he went in.
What do you say to that, Monsieur
Tringle," said he triumphantly, holding
the object up for his inspection. sit is
your wig. All, you will be incompatible
in it!''
Incompatible! yes, it is to be hoped .
said Tringle dubiously, as he regarded
with amazementa a conglomeration of cat
skins and rabbit-skins which the wig
maker,was shaking energeticaily.
With such Il coiffure as this, Monsieur
Tringle, you ought to carry off the honors
OF the EVENING"
'Do you really think so, Monsieur
Chabre?" said Tringle as he thought OF
the main object for which he desired to
appear to the best advantage 81 was
somewhat doubtful about the propriety

Judgment vouches for it, why"

Don't talk to me of costumes for the

economical Tringle. by the way, Cha

ness, "how much are you going to ask me
for the use of the suit?''

You Will see how comfortable it is. even
though it be tight fitting. The most finely

But the prieen' demanded Mons. Trim

prelude to an exorbitant bill.

The Bank of the United States was In
stltuted in 1871, and its charter expired in
ISL. The second United States Bank was
chartered in 1916, and went out of exist
ence on the expiration of it's privileges in
1886: The Democrats were opposed to the
bank, believing that Congress, under the
Constitution, had no right to endow any
financial institution with such preroga-
tives.

throw him off the track, went through a

a run found himself in the very heart of

eyes inflamed, and believing forth a war
cry more terrible than that OF a savage
about to scalp a victim.
Flight was out of the question! Tringle
was surrounded on all sides by the cattle,
which seemed to await the combat and to
glory in the triumph of their chief. AT
the first lunge the infrlriated beast made
toward his intended victim he missed
him, for Tringle, notwithstanding his
terror, observed that the ferocious brute
lowered his head for the purpose of run
ming him through the breast, and as he
came laundering toward him, managed to
step aside. Then began a wild chase
finding no point of defense, and pursued
too closely by the bull, had presence OF
mind enough to seize him by the horns,
and at the very moment he lowered his
head to diseinbowel his enemy, to leap
upon his back.
The astonished beast gave such below
of rage that the cattle drew back to allow
the King of the herd full play for his
wrath Then the animal leaped and
reared like vicious horse which seeks to
unseat his rider. But Tringle was cling
ing to the horns as If screwed to them,
and although bruised by the violence OF
the shocks, he resisted all the efforts OF
the ferocious beast to throw him from his
neck. Then, with one final cry of rage
which attracted the attention of the herds
man, tho bull shifted the air, whirled
quickly around, and excited by the shouts
of the herdsman who cried, IA Fro
nae,it ~ the animal set off ON wild gal
lop, stopping for neither ditch nor bar.
Thus he traversed the hamlet, already
greatly excited by the previous apparition
OF Tringie iii his costume olfdbOliqne. 1t
was now the hour at which the peasants
repaired to the fields,
1.-THE devil. There's the devil ~ cried
they all, men and women, old and young.
But the bull kept on galloping.
Presently Tringle heard the alarm bell
of the hamlet; to this bell responded
that of the neighboring village, and the
inhabitants-supgosing that fire had
running about in all directions.

TIE Advancement Association have had
two fine plates prepared. The use to which
they are to be'put is explained in the
following letter OF the Secretary.
MANITowoC, Wis, November 6, 1891.
GENTLEMEN: / have the pleasure to
forward herewith plates of two maps
which the Advancement Association
loans you, to return 1t on demand. The
maps are intended to show the shipping
facilities of our city; the smaller showing
the through line, and the larger the terri
tory that may be directly tributary to
the citys trade The first is suitable for
headings on letter-heads; the second for
backing on note heads. Both may be
used for backing on letter-heads, leaving
enough space for such statistics as may
be desired I will send circular to each
member of the Association, urging the
use of the maps, and hope that you will
recommend their use to your customers.

BURGLARS CAUGHT.

For over a year the cars on the side
track south of the Calumet Road near
this city have been Systematically robbed
the thieves entering by breaking the win
dows or the seal and entering the doors.
On Monday it was determined to make
an effort to catch the ruffians and for
this purpose Halvor Halvorson. the
station agent at this place, and John
Judge the turnkey at The court house,
went to Centerville, had themselves
placed in freight car and had the doors
sealed after entering. The cars were
switched off at the Calumet siding and
five minutes after the train left gang
burst in the door, The men inside cap
tured three OF them but three more
escapted. The lads captured are Julius
Diedrich, John Burita and Joseph
Konetsky. Diedrlch is the oldest OF the
lot being 16 years old. The names of
those who escaped were learned from
those who were captured. They are
Frank Sodosky, John Zagronik and
Stephen Jarasky. They will all be sent
over the road without question as the
penalty for breaking seal on loaded
car is quite heavy. If the authorities
now would make an effort to catch the
scoundrels who are tearing up the seats
in the north side Park, the city would
get rid of much of it's bad timber. Let
a reward be offered and some one will

TIE Fond du Lac Commonwealth at
tempts to make point against the land
commissioners for their purchase of the
Fliegler dam at Cato Falls in the inter-
ests of the farmers whose lands were
flooded by reason of the dam. To those
who know the facts the action of the
commissioners in this matter is wholly
praiseworthy. In the purchase consum-
mated in this city last week exact justice
seems to have been done to both parties
to the controversy. 1t is quite possible
that the boycott against the mill induced
Mr.. Fliegler to take less for the property
than he otherwise would.
The Commonwealth does not state the
facts. The legislature of 1887 appropria-
ted $1,000 from the drainage fund for the
settlement of this difficulty between the
farmers and the mill owner. but this was
not available for, this purpose until an
equal sum was raised by subscription by
the farmers whose property was affected
by the backwater. This drainage fund is
the proceeds of the sale of the swamp
lands and is no portion of the tax paid by
the people.
This year the legislature, when it be-
came evident that the $1,000 required to
be raised by subscription by the act of
1887 could not be procured in that way,
provided for the levying of a tax on
property affected by the backwater of the
dam in question. 1t was simply making
operative Il law passed by a previous
legislature which was devoid of power be-
cause of conditions attached impossible
of performance. By means of the last
legislation on this subject the matter in
dispute has been settled TO the satisfac-
tion of the parties to the controversy
and without detriment TO the interests of
the state.
