HARD TIMES.

The democrats say that these hard
times are the consequence of republi-
can misrule. That republican manage
ment brought the country to the verge
Of panic and it has just broke out.
That's what the murderer said when
he pushed his friend over the precipice
If he had not gone so near he would
not have been pushed over. Hence it
was his own fault that he was killed.
That's what the incendiary said. If
industry had not built the house the
fire bug could not have destroyed it.
Hence the man who built the house
was to blame for the fire.
That's what the theft said If thrift
had not accumulated, knavery could
not steal.
If republican administration had not
given us good times we would never
know the curse Of democratic rule
Torch of Liberty.

Twin City VS.. Necedah.

The Twin City Ball Team went to
Necedah Saturday last to interest the
Club of that city for an hour or so on
the diamond, after having defeated
them very badly in two games in this
city two weeks ago. And they did
interest them to the full extent that
the National game would allow being
defeated only after an exciting twelve
inning contest. When game" was
called our boys found that Necedah was
expensively loaded for them having
Palmer and Sheldon, of University of
Wisconsin fame, as a battery and
"Dutchy" Wilmer, pitcher of the
Lacrosse Fruit House club, playing
short stop and ready to relieve Palmer
in the box. On second base was Priest,
of Reedsburg, and the third bag was
held down by Wetherby, of Mauston.
The three fielders belonged to Necedah,
besides F. A. Wheelihan on first base,
also Of University fame in this position.
This aggregation of old and well known
ball players from away dazed our bows
for time and for the first three innings
they were unable to reach even third
base while Necedah scored four to their
credit But in the last half of the
fourth inning our boys got around three
| times which gave them courage and
from this on 1t was a toss up for the
winner. At the end of nine innings
the score stood and I. The tenth and
| eleventh were shut outs on either side.
In the twelfth NecedaE got a man to
second and "Taffv" Sheldon came up
with the willow He made one of his
old time home run hits and won the
game for Necedah. Our boys could not
find the home plate in their half and
all was up. 1t was a fine game, how
ever, and well played throughout. We
are sorry Necedah did not give us an
equally hard struggle when they were
here. The feature of the game was the
splendid work done in the box by our
home twirler Milton Miller He threw
a most effective ball, pitching the entire
twelve innings and striking out more
men than Palmer and Wilmer COM
bined and having more experience and
| better batters to contend with. He
surprised the boys at home as well as
those he threw against by his splendid
work The score was to Z.

Clara Webb spent Monday at Elm Lake

Concerning Pension Claims.

Editor Camp Fire:-I want to throw
a chunk on the fire to help stir up COM
rades into taking action against the dis
honorable and pusilIanimous treatment
that 1890 pensioners are receiving. A
few weeks ago I was employed by the
friends of a dead pension comrade to
get the amount due on his certificate at
the date of his death (about S20) as
part payment of his last sickness,
doctor bills and burial expenses, and
the claim was rejected, not from lack of
proof, but solely on the ground that the
dead veteran was a pensloner under
the law of 1890, instead of other pen
sion laws. This statement can be
proven by the answer above referred
to from the pension office, if doubted.
Again, few days since an old vete-
ran of a Michigan regiment and pen
sioner at S6, under the law of 1890, re-
ceived notice from Mr.. Lochren that
his pension was suspended because his
rating by the board at one-half die
ability didn't entitle him to anything
under the present administration, and
he was notified that unless he furnish
ed proof of greater disability within
so days from date of notice June, 81
that his name would be dropped from
the rolls.
/ have been at some pains to hunt up
the record of the present commissioner
of pensions as soldier, and as all item
of interest to the readers of the Camp
Fire, | give it herewith. In a volume
entitled history of Minnesota soldiers
in the civil and Indian wars, and con-
tanning history of the First Mime,
sofa Infantry Volunteers, written by
Mr.. VIM. Lochren, Oh page 81 of said
volume, recording the roster of said
regiment, find the following:
"William Lochren, age %, mustered
in July 8, 1868, mustered out December
80, 1868, on certificate of disability" 3"
So it seems that the HOMETOWN hero
of an hundred battles(on paper, was
mustered in after the hard fighting al
Gettsburg, and in less than six months
got sick, and went to the rear.-C. A.

BRICK BUILDING COMPLETED.

The new brick block which has been
in course of construction since the
opening of spring the property of Mr..
Lem Kroner, is now entirely COM
pleted ready for occupancy. The second
story is occupied by Dorward & Men
zeFs photograph gallery, and the first
floor will be used for the post-office.
Mr.. Kroner hopes to receive the ap-
pointment of postmaster and if he
fails he expects the successful candidate
to rent the building.
This structure will stand to the credit
of NJ. j. Favel, as carpenter and
builder; r. Brahm, of the town of
Sigel as brick layer and mason; and E.
G. Sennett as painter. The edifce is
22x5O feet with % footposts rooted with

to beauty, solidity and strength. We
would like to see more of such build
ings erected.

board, divided the State into districts,
has appointed for each districts a cram

Sad Accident.

and also breaking the bones of that
finger in two places. The wounds were

A Public Nuisance.

Quite a number of our citizens who
| have rights they woisid like to have
respected feel aggrieved over the
allowing of cattle and horses to roam
| our streets at will. It is a nuisance
| hard to tolerate to have twenty OF
thirty COWS congregate under the shade
of trees one has planted and carefully
tended for loi these many years hoping
to enjoy their shade as the day draws
to its close; and though one may, il
persevering, drive the COWS away from
their own door yard, to the detriment
of some neighbor farther on, the flies,
and the odor and the filth will remain
an intolerable nuisance.
A gentleman of this city lately
counted one hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
COWS inside the city limits in one of the
prettlest residence portions of the
town. 1t looks decidedly incongruous
to see droves of cattle marching with
heavy footed, slow gait along our shady
avenues and leaving our wide board
walks broken and filthy. Its not
pleasant to feel the need of lantern
on every dark night in order to pick
ones way or risk boots and gowns in
mal-odorous contact. Ladies and child
ren are often frightened by a drove
that becomes nervous because of flies
or maddened from being chased by
dogs. 1t is related that even a city
official has been forced to take to his
heels to save himself from being run
down on the street by frightened
herd hard chased by yelping, barking
dogs. Only last Sunday dog chased
COW near the post-office sadly frighten-
ing some little girls.
Aside from the primitive appearance
of the practice it seems hardly fair.
We are aspiring metropolitan cities.
We have number of beautiful avenues
with magnificent elms and NAPLES
shading them that have been years in
growing and cost time and labor. We
have fine residences and substantial
business blocks. We have the elements
of fine city, but like an overgrown
youth we cling to knee pants and
Fauntleroy childishness. Thriving
| little cities all around us prevent cattle
from running loose about their streets.
do away with the idea that an old fence
must surround the residence property,
improve and beautify their lawns and
the result is that both homes and CITY
are made doubly attractive and pretty.
But the Twin Cities still retain the
fences and the COWS and lack the finer
appearance of residences in other
places. Modern requirements are
baked by primitive economics.
Even if the city paid a herder it
would be better economy than to
constantly repair the damage done by
cattle and horses running our streets.
We would not wish to infringe on the
rights of owners of steck only so far as
the greatest good to the greatest
number demands it, but in return for
the advantages of a city one must give
up some of the advantages of the
country. Pasturing on public streets is
one of the luxuries that should be
denied.

nuSiCai Concert.

One Of the most pleasing entertain
ments ever enjoyed by a Twin City
audience was the concert given in the
Opera House Thursday evening last, not
a little of the pleasure being in the fact
that two Of the participants were born
and reared here and in a measure
belonged to us. We as a people are
proud, and rejoice in our accomplished
musicians Prof. Alex Zenier and Miss
Lottie Lynn. His piano playing is a
perfection of music, strong, delicate and
soulful he inspires his hearers with
enthusiasm. Miss Lynn sings pure, and
sweet, and clear, and to those who have
watched the unfolding of the gift of
song from childhood to the present hour
her success seems fruition Of the hopes
of the whole city. Having a personal
interest, the growth of years, the con-
cert in which both met the ideal of the
audience made the evenings a memorable
one. 1t was the first time the public
had the opportunity to hear Mr.. Dale
tlI MIS-. TOSJSf DuG tuGlr reputation
had preceded them and they came
fully up to the expectations of the
cultured and music loving audience who
welcomed them with applause and
encore. A more cordial reception was
never given in the Opera House.
The concert was given under the
auspices of st. Johns Episcopal church
ladies, and while the audience was not
as large as it deserved to be it netted
small sum to be added to the treasury.
The youngest church and the smallest
in the Twin Cities the few calls it makes
on public patronage give full measure
in return, and our citizens are always
well repaid for going. Mr.. Dale has
been singing at the Worlds Fair for
some time. Hehas fine baritone voice.
Mrs. Foster is lady of pleasing manner
and sweet voice.

Blueberry Crop.

The blueberry season is now closed
and the crop has proven to be much
larger than what was expected on ac-
count of the drouth. 1t is larger than
what it was in 1892, but little smaller
than what it was in 1891. The following
persons shipped by freight and express
the following number of baskets, besides
what was used in the Twin Cities. The
buyers estimate 1000 baskets as low
allowance for local consumption:
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1893-08-17

To the above figures you can add 1000
baskets which makes grand total of
1886 baskets, or 95960 quarts for which
the pickers received about $1,000. Now
if the present cranberry crop can be
gathered without further loss the poor
people of Wood County will be able to
pass comfortable winter even tho We
are suffering with too much democratic
prosperity.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction TO millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

ABBEvILLE ANNALS.
SectariAnism Cutting a Figure
Local Educational Circles.


Local Educational Circles.
Abbeville May ga deplorable an
tagonism has been recently developed be-
tween the school patrons of Abbeville.
Sectarianism is at the bottom of the
trouble. For several years past the Able
Vile school has been presided over by
teachers who were jealous Baptists. At
recent meeting held at the court house
new board of school trustees was elected,
which gave rise to considerable dissatis-
faction on the part of the BaptiSts. Last
saturday another board of trustees was
elected at the Baptist church, and this
board propose to establish a school to be
conducted in said church building. Thus
two schools antagonistic to each other will
he conducted within a hundred yards of
each other
This is the determination now, but it is
hoped that all differences may be salts
tactorily adjusted and that the high
school of which the town has been so
justly proud may not be checked in its
career of usefulness by dissenslOns.
The Methodists and Baptists here are
about equally divided in numbers. The
members of other denominations, whose
number is small, are apparently mere
lockers on in Verona
Apparently authentic information has
been received here that the Waycross Air
Line railroad will form junction with
the Abbeville and Waycross road and
that work will be commenced at once.
Then the road will be extended to Fort
Valley to connect with the Atlanta and
Florida railroad.
This intelligence has caused cOnsidera-
bic commOtion here, as it will, if carried
out, prove of vast Importance to Able
vile and tributary territory.
The Baptists have secured a beautiful
site and will soon erect a new church
here, which, when completed, will be a
credit to Abbeville
r. Much needed rains have been falling in
this section in the past few days, which
will prove of great advantage to the
growing CROPS

A PHOTOGRAPHER MISSING.
His Ability to Indulge in Diamonds
and Fine Turnouts EXPLAINED.

Atlanta, Ga, May Numerous
creditors of J. J. Faber, who for two
years has conducted a large photograph
gallery on Whitehall street, were sur
prised this morning to find upon inquiry
at his place of business that he was not
in, and in fact it was soon learned that
Faber had quietly loaded his goods on a
car Saturday night and then with his
family took passage for New York. F'aber
came to Atlanta from Norfolk. where it is
understood he left record similar to the
one he now leaves behind him here.
He lived in fine style, had the
best of everything that was going, drove
stylish turnouts, and wore diamonds, ali
of which was very pulling TO other pho
tOgraphers, who could not see so much
profit in the business Faber, in addition,
doing work at cut rates. His unexpected
disappearance and the many unpaid obi
cations which he left behind, explains
how he was able to maintain his style.
Judgments about to be rendered in the
courts are probably responsible for
t'aber's disappearance.
