Boots and Shoes.

If there is ought in this life that is a sore to
the sight and punlshmentsto ones entirety, il
is an out Of style boot or shoe that does not prop
erly fit the feet, If either too tight or TOO loose
it brings, we believe, more misery than aught
else to the wearer.
To obtain either fine boot or shoe for either
sex, or age, for wear in summer spring or fall
and at satisfactory prices, one should not fail tc
call on E. ]. DAVEY, Mineral Point, Wis.
To have feet feel i'll manner right,
We all should have good shoes,
That brings TO women much delight
And man will ne'er refuse.
And best of such to e'er obtain,
To E. J. DAVEY the people go,
For prices least they there do gain,
fact of which we know.
He has them for ladies fine wear,
For children, too, as well.
And patrons oftentimes declare,
That cheaply he does sell.
For gents he, too has very best,
Of every latest style.
And slippers fine. thai stand the test,
And makes one plcasin. smile.

Sun, Moon and Earth,

When the earth was young, says DR..
Ball, astronomer royal for Ireland, it
spun around at such rate that the day
was only three hours long. The earth
was liquid then, and as it revolved at
that fearful speed the sun caused ever
increasing tides upon its surface until
at last it burst in two. The smaller
part became the moon, which has been
going around the earth ever since at an
increasing distance. The influence of
the moon now raises tides on the earth,
and while there was any liquid to
operate on in the moon the earth
heaped up much greater lunar tides

a SPECIMEN BILL.

Elsewhere in this issue of the EAGLE
will be seen the full text of house bill
No. 5sl, being an act to fix the hours of
a days labor for railroad employees, in
troduced In the last legislature and
recommended for passage by the COM
mittee on education to which it was re-
ferred. We publish this measure at this
time to let the people of the state see
something of the character of legislation
proposed and attempted by the great
party of reform, the Peoples party. The
absurdity, the ridiculous discrimination
in the provisions of the bill will be seen
at glance at the measure. Like the
much talked of maximum freight bill,
while it purports to be for the relief end
benefit of certain class, the effect of
the bills provisions if practically applied
would be to their incalculable disadvant-
age. And so it was with the bulk Of the
measures proposed and many of them
passed by the Alliance house two years
ago. The question for the voters. citi-
zens of the state, is can the state afford
such experimentation with the vital
questions of legislation?

PROOFS OF PROSPERITY.

The register of deeds for Norton
county says: 1.-The official records show
that where one new mortgage is being
made in this county, five are being re-
leased. There is not a day that farmer
does not come in and pay off his mort
gage, and in many instances they have
knocked off the mortgage with this
years crop"
Cashier Heaton of the Norton State
bank said: 1--WE have over $50, 900 on
deposit in this bank at the present time.
and of that amount more than one-half
is deposited here by farmers. The farm
ers in this county never had as much
money; quite a number have enough
money laying here to pay off their mort
gsges, and are only waiting for them to
fall due; yesterday two farmers came in
and paid off their mortgages in full, and
others ere reducing them one-third or
ore-half.
Cashier Sawyer of the First National
bank of Norton said: "The deposits of
this bank have increased rapidly in
the past year, and the in
crease is largely from the farmers; al
most half of the deposits of this bank at
the present time came from the farmers
1t is plain to every one that they are
prospecting and getting out Of debt
The situation and conditions in Norton
county are not radically different from
other counties in the state; in fact re-
ports from all parts OF the state are Of
the same tenor, which shows beyond
cavjl that the farming community is in
as good if not better condition today
than it ever has been. And yet, there
is set of economists who make it
their business to go up and down the
land defaming the state: declaring that
the women are wetting the soil with
their tears over the loss of their homes;
that the crops would not pay the interest
on the mortgage debt; that the men sell
their honor and women their virtue per
force of necessity to relieve their wants.
Shame on such infamy! Out with such
outrageous classifying and falsifers.

A WELL OF ICE WATER.
One OF Dekota's Convenient and Natural
LuxurieS.

One OF Dekota's Convenient and Natural
Luxuries.
A well-known Hartford lawyer, who
has been travelling in the northwest,
has come back with a story OF an ex-
ceptionally natural convenience, the
contemplation of which. IN this trop-
zeal season. says the Hartford Courant,
refreshes ones soul, unless it breeds
uneasy envy
he was stopping with family in
North Dakota. It was in July, and
clear, cold water-a luxury he did not
frequently fnd-was most acceptable.
sweet and so very cold that he was led
to remark on it's excellence.
Eyes, our well has always satisfied us,
and we think we have good thing
when we can draw ice water in mid
summer"
''It certainly is as cold as lee water. y
said the visitor, not believing the re-
mark was meant exactly literally.
''No, but it's actually lee water; we'll
show it to you after dinner"
And after dinner out they went. and
the New England man was asked to
look down. 1t was a round small brick
shaft, much like the old wells seen here
abouts, and went down to an extraor-
binary depth. But there was beauti-
full sight at the bottom. II was, sure
enough, natural ice water tank. Pieces
of clear ice floated in. the water, and a
close look showed thick coating Of ice
all around the sides for quite a distance
above the water. The melting was
surely slow enough down there, and the
prospect was good for plenty of ice
water, at least till the hot weather was
over.
The explanation was simple enough.
When the bucket is drawn a little of
the water always spills or drips, and
often strikes the sides of the well as it
falls. In the winter-and Dakota WIN
tiers are cold-this water at once freezes,
and soon the entire length of the shaft
is lined with ice. This thickens at an
increasing rate, and it is frequently
necessary to cut it away with an Ak to
make room in which the bucket can
slide up and down. In the spring this
begins to melt, and the ice falls to the
bottom. The farther down, the slower
is the process of melting.

General Weaver denies the damaging
allegations against him and his acts
while in command at Pulaski, Tenn, in
1S64-5, as was expected he would. He
is announced to make public speech in
Pulaski today, facing his accusers and
denouncing their accusations. This is a
very courageous thing TO do, not on &C.
count OF the superior moral or physical
courage of those who have nialigned
him, but for the circumstance that he
is alone while they are many and in their
own community where popular sym
rathv would naturally be with them in
such a contest. The generals courage
is admirable, but his Judgment in this
case as in many others is questionable to
say the least. If he goes to Pulaski ana
makes such speech as is expected ne
will, he will be lucky ii he escapes with
nothing worse than volley of rotten
eggs
