REH'ORTS FROM VARIOUS SEC
TIONS OF THE STATE.

The crop bulletin for the Wisconsin
weather service, for the week ending
the 26th inst, says general and bcnefi-
ciar showers have been received, ex-
ting1lishing forest fires and saving
the early sOwn winter wheat from dry
ing in the ground. But the severity
of the drouth has left the ground in
such shape that great deal of rain
is required to- put it in good shape for
blowing. In the greater part of the
state the amount has been insufficient
and fall seeding is not progressing rap
idly. 1t is now SO late that the acreage
of winter wheat must be small this
year. A strip about Is miles wide, ex-
tending from Green Bay southwark
to La crosse, shows the best condition
of soil.
Potatoes are only partly dug; they
are generally few in the hill.
At Viola, on the Kickapoo river, the
pasturage has remained good on the
bottom lands during the whole drouth
period.
The present freezing temperatures
have killed the struggling remains of
tobacco, cranberries, and vegetables,
but the damage is small, as but little
more than the rejected portions of
these crops was out. Berrymen are
securing their vines for winter and
from present conditions anticipate a
good crop next year.
Cranberries, which few weeks
ago showed On the vines one of the
largest crops in years, have given the
pickers one-halr a crop. Great guam
titles of frozen berries were thrown
out. However, the yield is still above
that Of last year.
The dry weather requires that a
great deal Of attention be given to
the curing of tobacco in the sheds.
The storm of the 18th unroofed houses
and barns in Dunn county and threw
down much heavy timber in its track.
Clover seed is good crop and
of fine quality.
The average amount of rain which
should have fallen during the past
week is about 10 Of an inch, the fol
lowing report will enable comparisons
to be made: Milwaukee .43 of an

HOUSE.
Washington, Sept. 29.-In the house
the debate on the Tucker bill repeating
the federal election laws was resumed,
and Mr.. Lacy, Qowa) spoke in oppo-
sluon. He said the bill was inoppor-
tune. No federal election took place
till 1894; yet at this crisis, with an
extraordinary session Of congress 10
deal with financial questions, this bill
was dragged into the arena
What was the reason the democratic
party was confronted with great dan
ger? Last fall, by fusion in some
states, by chicanery in others, by adj.
vocating free silver here and gold
monometalism there, the democrats
had come into power. The president
had attempted to carry out ,-4e program
against silver. He split his party in
twain. Suddenly by decree of a party
caucus, this bill was brought in Why?
To heal the breach; to rally the whole
strength Of the party with the war-cry
Of down with federal supervision of
elections
Speeches upon the bill were also
made by Dearmond, Gillett, Wheeler
and Blair. The house adjourned at
4:15 o'clock.
Public hearings by the house bank
ing and currency committee began this
morning. Mr.. Oates, Of Alabama, ar
gued in favor Of his bills to allow
national banks to loan on real estate
and for the suspension of the ten per
cent tax on state national bank circu-
lationS.

BURIED BONUS.

$4,000 Given by Ashland for Factory
Encouras cement Disappears.
Ashland, Wis. Sept. 2S.-A committee
has been appointed by the city coun-
Gil to endeavor to get trace of the
mysterious $4,000 which it is supposed
was to have gone to the Ashland Sui
phite Fiber company as a bonus for
the erection of its plant at Ashland.
Quite a squahble occurred in the city
council over the matter. Mayor o.
keefe said: IF the bonus committee
has taken any funded bonds out Of our
safe and has gone and sold them
it is pretty near time to do something.
This committee has taken $4,000 Of
our funded bonds without authority"
BY some aldermen it is thought suit
can be brought for their recovery.

The police have been most reticent
in regard to the matter till today,
when they admitted the truth of the
story and added material facts, show
ing the conspiracy to be the greatest
since Guy Fawkes' day.
They say subsequent investigate
shows the anarchists intended to
smuggle dynamite into the underground
portion of the Reicbrath building, and,
when that body met, October 10, blow
it sky high and strike terror into the
hearts Of the enemies of the independ-
ent group of socialists, to which the
arrested men belonged.
Had the plot succeeded some 600
people would have been hurled into
eternity, including the princess of the
imperial family, hereditary mobiles and
dignitaries of the church. The anar-
chists also had plans laid to blow up
at the same time the town hall, with
over thousand employed therein, be-
sides a number Of other important
buildings.
The university, famous historical mu-
scum, and the Hofburg theater We're
also included in the conspiracy. The
strangest part of the story, as far as
the United States is concerned is that
the bombs were made according to
Il formula from Herr Most, New York,
and the police claim to be able to prove
the anarchists in this gigantic conspir-
acy are connected with the anarchists
in Chicago.
They say this is not merely a police
theory, but the connection of Chicago
anarchists with those here has been
fully established. Correspondence be-
tween the Chicago reds and those of
Vienna is said to be in the hands of
the Austrian police, who, it would
seem, must be in communication with
the Chicago police ON the subject.

MARINE BANK RULINGS.

Two Important Decisions are Expected
From Judge Johnson.
Milwaukee, SPIT 29-EWo important
decisions are expected from Judge John
son tomorrow in the action entitled
Il. NJ We'll vs.. The Wisconsin Marine
& Fire Insurance company bank. One
will be Oh the claim Of the city to be
ing il preferred creditor to the amount
of its deposit and the other as to the
appointment of Il co-receiVer
City Attorney KrH is confident that
the court will decide in favor Of the
city, but if he does not an appeal to
the supreme court will be taken at
once and the city attorney is certain
that the supreme court will hold for
ever way Judge Johnson decides.
As regards the appointment of Il CO
receiver, this matter is entirely within
the discretion of Judge Johnson, and
no appeal from his decision can be
taken 1t is generally believed that he
will refuse the appointment on the
ground that it is unnecessary expense.
The court Is alone responsible Tor the
acts Of the receiver, who is out an agent
of the court. However, If the judge
should decide that Il co-receiver was
desirable, be will APPOINT two instead
Of one.
1t is rumored that if Judge Johnson
refuses the application for Il co-receiver
the same petit .oners will at once make
application fer the removal of Washing
ton Becker and the appointment of
another man in his place. This will
be asked on the ground of relationship
and the common interests between Mr..
stock holder in the bank.

THREE SUSPECTS IN JAIL.
Men of Chicago Supposed to Be the
Indiana Train Robbers.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Five men whose
actions aroused the suspicious of the
police led Kensington officers a wild
chase today through the thinly settled
district around the shores of Lake Calu-
met. Three were arrested and are be-
ing held at the Hyde Park police sta
ton.
Lieut.. Bassett, who superintendent the
capture, thinks the men may have been
implicated in the Kendallville train rob-
berry. His belief is strengthened by
stories told by Michigan Central rail-
road employees
He sent promptly for Express Mes
sengcr Hamblin, who saw the robbers,
and for General Supt. Wygant, who has
been giving the case attention The
prisoners gave these names: John Will
son, John Graham and James King.
They say they have been employed
as railway hands in Kansas and have
just reached Chicago.

ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.
Excitement at Vienna Still at Fever
Heat.

Vienna, Sept. 29.-The excitement
over the discovery of the anarchist plot
is still at fever heat. -Four anarchist
worl2men were arrested today and two
more arrests are hourly expected. A
large number Of those known to be con-
nected with the anarchistic societies
hastily left the city.
All public buildings are carefully
guarded by the police. The precautions
will be continued as long as parliament
is in session. The police are in pos
session Of facts Of the greatest interest
to police Of several European capitals
as we'll as Chicago and New York.
They decline to divulge particulars,
but it is known they established be-
You'd a doubt the connection between
the Austrian plotters and anarchists in
Chicago and New York.

STILL A WORDY WAR.
Congress Harping on the Two Repeal
Bills

Washington, Sept 29-In the senate
today Mr.. Cameron, Of : ennsylvania
presented Il petition from Philadelphia
manufacturers asking legislation to re
tain the protective tariff and the in
tegrity of silver rs a money metal. He
said the shsners represented $4,000
600 in capital and a yearly product of
S15O,0O00O0.
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Harris. democrat. Of Tennessee,
spoke against it. He declared it prac-
tically meant gold standard. as there
after silver would only be used as frac-
tional currency and he favored the coin
age of all American silver; but hoped
Mr. Sherman would join him in re-
facilitating the Bland-Allison act, and
going back to that amount of coinage.
if not more.
Mr.. Sherman said he believed the
continued purchase of silver. either
under the Bland-Allison act or the act
of 1890 would eventually force gold
from circulation and silver would be
the only standard. Free coinage would
have the same result. So he favored
the abandonment of the system.
Continuing. Mr.. Harris quoted from
the speech by voorhees, last February,
in which he said he would have voted
to take up the Sherman bill some days
prior to that but for the fact that Its
passage would undoubtedly demonetize
silver and leave it supported by not
one word of legislation" Harr's in
conclusion said he would accept any
reasonable compromise.
Morgan, of Alabama, then addressed
the serate. He discussed the proba-
bility of securing treaty with Great
Britain On the silver question, which
he said is very remote.

GENERAL 3LOW-UP PLANNED.
Greatest Conspiracy Since Guy Fawkes'
Day Fooled.

Vienna, Sept. 2S.-On the sd inst.
the Associated Press cabled exclusive
information of the arrest of a number
of anarchists in this city and the dis
covery of cases of revolvers, bombs,
explosives, coats with leather Innings,
with hooks for suspending bombs to
them, and documents of a most in
eliminating nature. Rival news agen-
cies have been trying to belittle this
news.

OPPOSED TO PRESTON.

Washington. Sept 2a-Slver men
are disposed to grumble at the appoint
ment of Robert E. Preston to be direct
or of the mint, on account Of his &C
ton in not purchasing the amount Of
silver demanded by the Sherman law
while he was acting director. 1t is
thought that his confirmation win be
opposed. Since 1856 Mr.. Preston has
been connected with the treasury, Tis-
ing from a clerkship to his present
position.

Thy taper fingers or thy dainty waist,
Or eyes or lips, but thy sweet soul

In Deem Water,

TOLEDO. o.. March 17,-The is'
suance OF an injunction by Judge
Taft yesterday restraining the
Brotherhood men from .boycotting
the Ann Arber freight, and the
filing of a 100000 damage
suit against Chiefs Arthur and Sar-
geant, has put a new phase on the
situation, and it is impossir
BILE to tell at present what course
men will now pursue. Chief Arr
thur, before he left the city, was
non-comittal as to what step
he would take. Az it stands, the
only apparent course left to the
men is to inaugurate a general
strike, and tie up all the roads in
the hope that they may thus bring
the Ann Arbor to terms.
At midnight last night, notwith-
standing the injunction of the Cir
cult Court, a number of Lake
Shore engineers cut out Ann Ar
Dor cars and refused to handle
them. AS soon as the Lake Shore
officials heard of the matter they
communicated with Judge Kicks,
at Cleveland, and he will be
brought to Toledo in a special
train this afternoon to hear the
cases of the Lake Shore engineers,
who will be charged with con.
tempt.
The Pennsylvania engineers have
had a conference with the officials,
and agreed to stand by the decision
of the courts and not uphold the
Brotherhood against the courts. The
Ann Arbor carb are being handled
in the Pennsylvania yards to-day.
Ann Arbor, for the first time since
the strike began, is doing business
to-day with nonsunion men en- the
engines. All passenger and freight
trains are running.

Nominations Confirmed by the Senate

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The
senate has confirmed the following
nominations: Josiah Quincy, Massa-
chusetts, assistant secretary of state;
Isaac P. Gray, Indiana, envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipo-
Tertiary of the United States to
Mexico; Jas. B. Eustis, Louisiana,
minister to France; Patrick A. Col
Inns, Massachusetts, counsel general
of the United States at London;
Robert A. Maxwell, New York,
fourth assistant postmaster general;
Wade Hampton, South Carolina,
commissioner of railroads; VIM. Nc
Adoo, New Jersey, assistant secre-
tary of the navy. The senate also
confirmed a large number of post
masters and army and navy promo
tons, all of the nominations in fact
which were sent in up to Saturday,
excepting the following: Edmund
B. Whitney, of New York, to be as
sistant attorney general; F. P. Gayle,
of New Mexico. to be receiver of
public moneys; j. E. Swindlehurt
and R. B. Brown to be postmasters
at Lexington, Montana, and Mead%
vile, Pa, respectively The expla-
nation Of the failure to act on the
cases of Whitney and Gayle is doubt
less to be found in the fact that the
committees on judiciary and public
lands, which must first pass upon
the nominations. have not yet had
their meetings.

GERMAN TO THE ISSUE.
Questions that Should be Answered., Sd
Citizens May Vote Inte1Iigently Uron
the Proposition to Bond the City in
O,0OO, 90 Debt.

Editor argus: Permit me to
submit through the columns of your
paper the following questions on the
subject of city bonds:
Qestion 1. What is contemplated
by the City Fathers in expanding
so large a sum of money? If a system
of sewerage, does the bill authorize
the Board of Aldermen to compel
every householder to connect with
the same and thus dispose of the
garbage that otherwise collects upon
their premises?
. 2. IL the power to enforce is not
given, and enforced, will the outlay
benefit the city?
3. If enforced, will it not be bur-
densome to small holders Of proper
ty to be compelled, in addition to the
increase of taxes, to make the outlay
for connections with the sewer?
l think these are pertinent ques-
tons, and, that a clear and full
statement should be given to the
voters by those who are authorized,
stating for what Improvements so
large a sum of money is asked, and
for what it is to be expended.
These questions are not asked in
any spirit of antagonism, but the
matter is of such Importance that
voters should be fully satisfied that
the benefits to be secured should be
beyond question, before this debt
be fastened upon the city,
