A Tale of Three skeletons.

DUBUQUE, Ia, March 24.-Thirty-five
years ago three men, named Harris, Dan
Combe and Williams, started to work
an abandoned lead mine near here.
They were strangers, and when they
disappeared one day not much was
thought of the matter and they were
soon forgotten. Recently the Schakers
brothers began to work the old mine
again and Tuesday came across three
skeletons 110 feet below the surface
From the name of Williams found on a
pair of boots the remains were identi-
fed as those of the missing miners.

COUNTERFEIT MAPLE SUGAR.
Indiana Farmers Making 1t Out of Hick-
ory Bark.


INDIANAPOLIS, March "a Counterfeit
maple molasses is on the market this
spring, and is having large sale to peo-
pile who suppose they are buying the
genuine article. This imitation of the
real maple molasses is being made W
good old farmers around Indianapolis,
who ought to be above doing such a
thing.
In an adjoining county is a wealthy
farmer who has been buying brown
sugar by the barrel since the maple
molasses season came on. His neighbors
noticed that he was selling an unusual
amount of maple sirup, and began to
inquire how he could make so much
from the small number of trees ON his
farm.
The inquiry showed that the farmer
was manufacturing counterfeit maple
sirup out of brown sugar and the bark
Of hickory trees. The bark Of the tree
was boiled in water for several hours
and the brown sugar sirup was favored
with the sirup obtained from boiling the
bark. The result obtained is said to be
an excellent imitation of the genuine
maple sirup.

RlSMARCk,S ILLNESS
Now Considered More Serious Than Fir,
Reported.


Reported.
BERLIN, March "a. 1t has transpired
that the sudden illness of Prince Bis
marck on Monday last was much more
serious than at first reported. 1t appears
that ON Monday he was suddenly strick-
en- with alarming symptoms of collapse.
He had several fainting fits, and for a
time it was feared that the result would
be serious. Prompt medical attention
enabled the prince to rally, but he is
still very weak, and far from GONZALES
cent.
1t is worthy of note as bearing on the
suggestion in some quarters that Bis
marck might be called to the helm of
affairs again that among the numerous
kilograms of inquiry received at Frieds-
rhue when Bismarck's illness became
known there was none from the kaiser,
although there is not the slightest doubt
that the kaiser was promptly informed
of the ex-chancellor's condition. In view
of Bismarck's illness as indicating the
uncertainty that he may survive until
another birthday the preparations for
his seventy-seventh birthday are every
where being redoubled and April will
be memorable in the history of Ger

Three of the Jefferson county dele
gates were Barwig men all the time
Juneau Telephone.
This is beautiful insinuation calling
into question the integrity and honesty
of purpose of part, at least, of the
Jefferson county delegation elected to
the late Democratic Congressional con-
vention and The Telephone editor, Mr..
Kelley, should have care before max
ing such damaging charge.
The following were the delegates
from Jefferson county to attend the
Democratic Second Congressional Dis
trict convention and pledged and in
structed to support Mr.. Rogers for
congressman: A. Bechaud, James W.
Moore, A. E. Zeber, Earl Newton, d.
g. Craig, J. F .Schreiner, Paul Hubbard,
DR.. A. Solliday, Chas Kruger, Jr.
Mr. Kelley himself being delegate,
must know and therefore ought to be
able to tell which three of the nine
delegates mentioned above were trait
ors to Mr.. Rogers, who though pledged
to his support were "for Barwig all the
time" The truth of this bold assertion
as to double dealing and occupying a
false position towards Mr.. Rogers,
should be substantiated and if this is
not possible the author must be set
down as a wrongful accuser.
The character and standing of each
one of the Jefferson county delegates
is at stake in this matter and the open
charge of treachery to Mr.. Rogers
ought to be sifted to the bottom. If
The Telephone editor has ground for
what he proclaims with so much gusto
and assurance, it is lovely common
tary on the outcome of the convention
that nominated Mr.. Barwig.

Voting Split Tickets.

The present election law provides
that the making of a x through the
square under party designation at
the head of the ballot, as for instance
Democratic" Or Republican" is all
that is required In order to vote for all
ofthe candidates on the ticket. Should
q voter desire, however, to scratch"
his ticket, or vote for some opposition
candidate, all he has to do is to erase
the name of the person for whom he
does not wish to vote, and write in the
blank space underneath the name
erased, that of the person for whom he
desires to vote. Or he may paste aslip
containing the name of the person he
wants to vote for, over the name Of the
one he does not wish to vote for The
one cross at the head of the ticket ans
wers for all the names appearing I'M
derneath.
For instance, Democrat wishes to
vote for John G. Spooner for governor,
he grasses the name of Geo. w. Peck
and writes under it the name of John
G.. Speoner,.. or, he may paste a slip
with the name John G. Spooner writ
ten or printed thereon, over the name
of Peck, and his ticket with the single
x at the head will be counted for
Spooner and all the Democratic candi-
dates excepting Peck.
Another method is to erase the name
of Peck in the Democratic ticket and
make a cross in the square space at the
right of Spooner's name in the.Repub-
lican ticket. Either of the ways men
toned is legal, and with this explana-
ton it would seem that voters need
make no mistakes.

A Word with Aid. Rack.

Last weeks Gazette contained
communication from Aid. Rack in re-
ply to our article showing his incon-
sistency in demanding protection for
himself against the cheap Johns of
Wisconsin, while willing to have the
United States enter into competition
with the cheap Johns of Europe. He
names three articles, to wit, pearl but
tons, linen handkerchiefs and Henri
eta clouhs-and these are all that he
can find IN the long line of goods he
sells-whlch he claims he is now COM
PEELED to gay more for than before the
passage of the Mckinley bill. Now
this is horrible state of things-or
rather would be if it were true. We
are afraid our friend is not the close
buyer he is reputed to be, if with the
single exception of pearl buttons-on
one grade of which there has been
the very slightest advance-he finds
prices increased. Of the thousands of
articles made cheaper by the McKin-
ley bill-sugar, cotton cloth, shoes.
clothing, in fact everything coming
under the head of necessaries of life
he has not word to say. But his
heart yearns for the family that may
perhaps pay two or three cents advance
on the pearl buttons it uses during a
whole year! And then think of the
hardship on purchasers of Henrietta
cloth! OF course, no household is per-
fectly equipped unless it has on hand a
bountiful supply of Henrietta cloth
What IS home without it? Seriously,
friend Rack, you have given your
whole case away, and made it even
more ridiculous than it was before
writing your letter.
