NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT.
Mons. Anderson Of La Crosse Will
Not Vote for the Nominees of
His Former Party.

La Crosse Wis, Oct. 1J.-Mons An
derson of this city, the dry goods prince
of Western Wisconsin, is done with the
Democratic party.
''No business man of any sense he
said, can be Democrat after the eX-
perience and trials of the past year 1t
has been a year of calamities and GER
tainly there were enough such without
the addition of those imposed by the
Democratic party.
THE Democratic party was on trial
and it was found wanting 1t showed
itself incompetent to handle the money
question The Sherman law was only re-
pealed by the aid of Republican votes,
and nothing was done to substitute any
thing for it. In it's tariff policy the Demo
cratic party revealed its utter incompe-
tency. 1t really seems as if the whole tar
if was framed for the benefit of foreign
countries and as if the Democratic party
was determined to reduce the American
workingman to the level of his European
competitor. In the great strike last sum
mer ample proof was furnished OF the ut
ter lack of principle OF the men who
dominate the Democratic party. L had
high regard for Cleveland, and L still re-
spect him, but President Cleveland is one
thing and the Democratic party is another.
1T is such men as Gov. Altgeld, Mayor
Hopkins and Senator Hill that make the
Democratic party unbearable.
Il certainly can no longer take any
stock in the Democrats after the specta-
Gle we have witnessed this year. A Presi-
dent denouncing the United States Sen
ate senators of his own party, as guilty
of dishonor and perfdy, of serving trusts,
breaking pledges, and so on. A United
States senator on the other hand, accus-
ing the President of the United States
before the whole Senate of double-dealing
and insincerity. law denounced at its
passage as a makeshift of trust, as a sell
out, and praised afterward before the peo-
pie as a blessing. A man must be blind
not to appreciate, not to comprehend and
feel this national disgrace

OTIS LEGACY LEFT INTACT.
1T Will Not be Used for the Foreiel
Mission Indebtedness

1t VIII Not be Used for the Foreign
Mission Indebtedness.
Madison, Wis, Oct. 12.-The American
mission board, at the close of the morn,
ing session, decided not to use the resi-,
due of the Otis legacy fund to apply on
indebtedness. Instead, it instructed the
president to appoint cooperative commit
tees, three each in Chicago, New York
and Boston, to secure larger contributions
from churches in their districts The reso-
luton for such action aroused consider
able discussion, but finally it was adopted
with little opposition. The report of the
committee on the foreign secretary's re-
port was endorsed heartily. A call was
extended to Dwight l.. Moody to go to
Japan for six months and do evangelistic
work, the call for which has come from
leading churches. Opinion is expressed
by several pastors present that Moody will
accept. Moody spoke before the board
last evening and again this afternoon on
the Holy Spirit. A resolution was unani-
mously adopted instructing the prudential
committee that whatever steps it may be
obliged to take not to withdraw from
any mission now established The rest
of the morning session was devoted to
short addresses from the delegates and
returned missionaries President Storrs
will give his annual address this evening
The session closes with farewell meet
ing tomorrow morning.

THREE MEN BADLY INJURED.
A Fast Express Train Dashes Into Two
Flat Cars on Steep Grade.

Flat Cars on Steep Grade.
Tomohawk, Wis, Oct. LITTLE east
bound Minneapolis-Boston express on the
500 road was wrecked at Turtle Lake last
evening. The engineer. fireman and bag
gageman were injured. That the dis
astcr was caused by wreckers there is
no doubt.
The wreck occurred on steep grade,
a short distance west of Turtle Lake.
Two fiat cars standing on a siding were
let onto the main track and started down
the HILL The passenger train was nearly
due at Turtle Lake and the flying fiat cars
met the express on a curve. The train
Was running at a rate of thirty or thirty
five miles an hour when the crash came.
The engine was thrown from the track
and several cars of the train were tele-
scoped or crushed. The three men in
jured were found under the wreck. Their
names are not known. The injured were
removed to Turtle Lake.
The 500 company seemingly has q de-
termined enemy to deal with. Three
weeks ago an attempt was made to
wreck a passenger train, but it failed. On
Monday last the timbers of the high
bridge over the Tomahawk river near
Heafford Junction We're sawed in two
and the train was thrown from the track.
The scene of the wreck of today is over
100 miles west of that of Monday, but 1t
is believed to have been executed by the
same persons A reward of $500 is offered
for the arrest of the guilty parties.

Waupaca, Wis, Oct 12.-Amos Stearns
is dead He was the inmate Of the Wis
cOnsin Veterans home whose name was
recently stricken from the pension rolls
on the charge that he was a deserter. The
accusation came from the pension de-

taken was the result of an investigation
by special officers of the department. Mr..
Stearns Indignantly denied the truth of
the charge and Immediately set about
proving that he was not a deserter;
but the Worriment broke down his health
and the illness which followed resulted
fatally. Mr.. Stearns' case promised to
prove Of unusual interest, and it will
continue to attract attention as the efforts
begun by Mr.. Stearns to disprove the
charges against him will be continued by
Mrs. Stearls. The latter was with her
husband an inmate of the veterans home,

ACTED LIKE MADMEN.
Young Bucks Do War Dance at the
Indian Fair.

Indian Fair.
Green Bay Wis. Oct ia blood
curling war dance by hideously-painted
Indians, attired in all their old-time finery,
yesterday formed the feature of the last
day of the Oneida Indian fair on the
Oneida reservation, ten miles southwest
of here. There are about 1000 aborignes
on the reservation, and 800 of them
were visitors yesterday. The exhibits,
cereal and others, were fair and promise
much more for next year The affair IS
to be an annual occurrence hereafter
Adam SlckleS, a very intelligent young
brave, is the secretary of the association,
and he stated that the reports of small
pOX that should have made its appear
ance at Oneida, had been started by
some Indians, who are poor and shiftless
and live in the northern part Of the
reservation. There have been few white
visitors, partly owing to the cold and
raw weather, and partly to the reports of
the dreaded disease being prevalent
Among the 30 exhibits of cereals, fruit
vegetables and stock, oven products, ETC..
there We're many who could have found a
place at any regular county fair. The
races were disappointing, few horses be-
ing entered, and they made very poor
time. There were no purses. After all
bills against the association will have
been paid, the remaining money is to be
divided among the exhibitors. This will
be done a week from today The festivi-
ties on that day will begin with Il great
log-SaWing contest.
-Four warriors, gaudily dressed and hid
eously painted, with any quantity of
feather ornaments in their hair, had been
selected to perform the war dance. 1t
was n grewsome sight and realistic in
the extreme. They danced within a ring
formed by 4 rope, and the eX-
cited and animated spectators pressed
up closely A few taps on an
old snare drum signaled for them to
begin. With slow, measured steps they
commenced gradually warming up to their
work and eventually acting like raving
maniacs. Their grunted "Hyah-Hyah-
HyNh'' sounded terrible. Off and on one
of them would dash forward and thrust
his sharp tomahawk among the young
bucks who shouted their approval and
were quick to catch the dangerous weap-
on. A tug-of-war between fat and lean
Indians fillowed. Chief of Police Nolan
of Green Bay captained the one side, and
William Kennedy, chief of the fire de-
partment the other. The former and
his men were badly beaten. One of the
interesting visitors was Frank Roman.

as a scout during the rebellion and the
