The big elephant, Zip, belonging TO
the Ringling Brothers, died at Baraboo
about two weeks ago and the body has
been skinned and cut up by couple of
professors from Milwaukee and Chica-
go. In examining the stomach, a chain
over four feet long and weighing about
ninety pounds was found in the ele-

twelve feet high, and cost the Ring
lings a good round sum of money, The
chain is supposed 10 be the cause Of his
death.

society up to date, and expect to pub
fish a large number next week. The
officers elected, whose names are pub
lished, are only temporary, but as soon
as possible permanent organization
will be effected

silver men among their neighbors. The
argument may do them good We
wish il remembered by the republicans
and free silver men of Grant county,
that the Tribune and HERALD 90
