Memories.

Only bit OF lace,
By tho faded ribbon bound,
Telling naught Of the sweet, pure face,
No breath, no smile, no sound.
Only bit OF lace
That the breath OF the morning stirS,
Whispering nRught Of the tender grace,
Naught OF the loving words.
Tears, oh sad heart, so weak
its boosted strength so proud,
With passionate cry and pidful moan,
Making its cry aloud.
Jewels whose prisoned rays
Flash back the sparkling light.
The gossamer threads and delicate sprays
Hold many gem tonight
Silence brooded Ger the household
All the long bright summer day.
And the busy hum of voices
Sank in whispered tones away.
While asleep amid the shadows.
AS II wearied OF his play,
lay the precious bud of promise
That had frightened all the day.
OH the hours OF weary waiting
For the sound Of baby feet,
For the cooling and the laughter,
Like the ripping waters sweet
Not n murmuring thought. o Father,
Surely Thou canst claim Thy own,
But the weak feet Of my nesting
Treadeth now Thy courts alone.
Do his baby lips e'er quine
With the grief but half expressed
And the timid Dyes seek vainly
For the mothers sheltering breast7
All in vain our bitter pleading.
Sight or sound return no moro
Till we hear the pillows breaking
Over on the golden shore,
And the sweet face of my darling
Smiles upon me evermore.

NUMBER As.


The heavy down pour of rain on
Monday and Tuesday of last week
was quite general throughout Iowa and
Lafayette counties. In the towns of
Linden and Mitiin, in Iowa connty,
and around Belmont and Shullsburg,
in Lafayette county, it was most
severe The Shullsburg Local says:
"The rain of Monday night and
Tuesday did considerable damage in
this vicinity. Shullsburg Branch over
flowed its banks at the depot, and the
rush of water on Monday night washed
away the ballast from the railroad
track just east of the depot, and
moved the track about Is inches out
of place, and many fences were car
fled away down the bottom. Nine of
the ten bridges between the old fur
mace and the Helena mill were carried
away and many culverts destroyed.
The Wisconsin Lead and ZINC Com
pany's roadway down the valley, which
was constructed Of rock in many
places, was torn out to the depth of
two or three feet"

TISCONSIN, FRIDAY. JUNE II. 1892.
WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For the Week Ending Tuesday, June
18th. 1892.

For the Week Ending Tuesday, June
18th, 1892.
Warm sunshiny weather during the
past week has been extremely favor
able to vegetation, causing rapid
growth of all crops. To be sure it will
take very favorable conditions through
out the whole season to get from the
wet low ground fair crop, but the
past few days has rendered it possible
to plant considerable of this doubtful
ground in corn and potatoes and the
next few days will probably see the
greater part of it under cultivation.
The maturing of these late fields of
corn will depend greatly On frost hold
ing off in the fall. Not as much rot
ting of early sown corn and potato
seed is reported as might be expected
Small grain as rule are making a
heavy growth; no rust is yet reported
in wheat. The rank growth of small
grains causes much apprehension that
later on it will lodge.
The coming week will determine
the extent Of the corn and potato
acreage.
Taken as a whole, the crop condi-
tions today may be considered as pro-
missing well in this state.

How to Succeed,

This is a great problem of life which
few satisfactorily solve. Some fail be-
cause of poor health, others want of
luck, but the majority from deficient
grit-want of nerve. They are ner-
vous, irresolute. changeable, easily get
the blues and "take the spirits down
to keep the spirits up" thus wasting
money, time, opportunity and nerve
force. There is nothing like the Re
storative Nervine, discovered by the
great specialist, DR.. Miles, to cure all
nervous diseases, as headache, the
blues, nervons prostration, sleepless-
ness, neuralgia, st. Vitus dance, fits,
and hysteria. Trial bottles and fine

Burglars Captured.
The Darlington Journal.


One-armed George, who broke out
of Darlington Jail on May 80, was cap
tured at Columbus junction June Sd.
When sheriff Lindsay laid his hand on
the burglars shoulder and remarked
" Glad to see you again, George" the
later quickly replied, +" Well, | amt
glad to see YOU" The thief has since
acknowledged Chat this WAS the only
time that he ever told the truth to an
officer of the law.
George is confined at the Rock coun-
ty jail at GAINESVILLE, but will be in
Darlington for trial July 9th. There
is plenty evidence, we are told, to send
him to the penitentiary and keep him
there until he goes dead or gets to old
to burgle.
Two of Georges partners in crime,
Dan Ryan and Mike Coleman, the lat
ter an assistant in the recent safe
blowing and robbery at Belmont
were captured last week at Houston,
Mimi, by U. S. officers, and taken to
Dubuque. Constable Chris. Galagan
and city marshal Hazelitt went from
Darlington to Dubuque and positively
identified Coleman as one armed
Georges opal" in this city. The au-
thorities have proof that these three
were the men who robbed the post
office at Warren of $4,000

Big Frosts-PoIitIeal Matters.

HillsviIle, Va, Oct. Especial
have been several big fr0sts. But little
rain has fallen for several weeks. The
ground is now so dry that farmers can
make but little headway in blowing; the
greater number, however. are through
with their fall seeding. The continued
drought during the summer injured the
corn. here TO such an extent that it will
not shucl out more than n half crop.
But little interest is being manifested
relative to the approaching election. Mr..
Claude A. Swanson, Democratic candl-
date for Congress from this district, adj
dressed the people at the last county
court. Mr.. Swanson is fluent speaker,
and his effort was worthy the cause he
represented. This was the first and the
only speech, as yet, delivered In thiS
county during the present canvass.
Third party men are scarce IN tins
county. Unless the Republicans rally
to Mr.. Jones. Third party candidate for
Congress from this district, his vote
will be quite small here. / am confident
that quite number Of voters i'll this
county who have heretofore voted the
Republican ticket will at the approach
inc election cast their ballots Tor Cleve-
land, Stevenson and Swanson.
Carroll may be confidently relied on
for an increased Democratic majority
this time. High tariff, an enormous
fraudulent pension roll and the prospect
of Force bill are causing tfc people
of this section 10 think.

WEATER Ar PULASKI.
He Faces the Scene of His Outrageous Acts
During the War;

Pulaski, Tenn, Oct. S.-General
Weaver arrived here at 10 O'Clock this
morning. He was met by nearly one
hundred and fifty members of the Peo-
pies party, who with brass band
escorted him to the Fair grounds, where
the speaking took place. The Demo-
cratic committee of Giles county had
thirty-fyc extra police appointed to pre-
serve order.
AT L o'clock General Weaver began his
speech at the Fair grounds. Mrs. Weaver
and Mrs. Lease. of Kansas. occupied
seats on the platform. BY actual count
there were 800 men and three women
on the grand-stand
Although trouble was looked for, there
was no disturbance, fact that Is very
gratifying 10 the people OF this State.
The small attendance WAS chiefly due
to q thunder storm that prevailed during
the morning, and TO the TACT that the
feeling on both sides was so intense
that the better class of people believed
that il would be better for all concerned
10 remain at home. 1t appeared TO be a
rather obstinate determination on the
part of General Weaver to go and con-
front his accusers, but the right Of Cen
eral Weaver to defqnd himself before
those who brought charges against him
was recognized by all, and he was not
interrupted once during the delivery OF
his address.
At the conclusion Of his speech a
mass meeting Of Democrats was held ~
