The department council Of the
Woman's Relief corps held their semi
annual meeting in this city last We'd
nesday. The ladies Of the local corps
had taken the matter in hand and pre-
pared to make the visitors very well
come. A reception was given in the
G.. A. R. hall, and this was followed by
refreshments, Rotations, dancing and
a general good time. An invitation
was sent to the ladies of the Water
town corps to be present and many
of them came and joined in the festivi-
ties at the hall. The little hall was
fairly crowded with ladies, there being
about seventy-ive in attendance, and
the only drawback to the occasion Gas
one of the ladies naively stately was
that it was "tetotally feminine" But

Fatal Railway Accident.


The Fort Atkinson Union gives the
following account of the accident that
happened on the Northwestern rail-
way early Thursday morning, resulting
in the killing Of three men and the in
juring of several others who were evil
IDENTIFY stealing ride:
About one o'clock yesterday morn
ing, as a freight train going south
reached a point about two miles north
of the city, an axle broke and derailed
the car followed by six others. One of
the cars was loaded with lumber and
seven men had entered it, riding be-
tween the lumber and the end of the
car. When the car was thrown from
the track, the lumber shifted so as to
crush three OF the men to death. One
of the others, f. w. Waterman, whose
home is at 1872 West Polk street, Chica-
go, had his scalp cut at the back of his
head and torn loose to the temples on
each side. The loose scalp was caught
in the lumber and stretched to its full
est tension. He e~ndeavOred with his
right hand to break it from his head,
but was not successful. The second,
Geo. Plant, was hurt quite badly about
the head and breast; the third was but
little bruised, while the fourth escaped
without injury. The dead were brought
to the depot and the wounded Were
taken to the Preston house and we're
cared for by DR.. U. P. Stair, assisted by
Bert Stair and Harlow Caswell, two
medical students who rendered eff
cient aid. The dead are Thomas In
gals, whose wife resides at 428 West
Madison street, Chicago; Chas. Klein,
who has a mother at 115 South Halsted
street, Chicago; Stephen Outke, who
has a wife in Germany, and a son on
Carpenter street, Chicago. The injured
are f. W. Waterman, before mention
ed; Geo. Plant, 1921 South Clark street,
Chicago; James Eggleston. residence
not known, and Robert Harsazke, of
116 Front street, Chicago. A coroner's
inquest was held by Justice Emery,
when the above facts were elected. The
bodies Of the dead men were placed in
charge of Undertaken Downing.

Balloon Race and Parachute Lean


Three days during the Dodge county
fair, at Beaver Dam, September 26, 81
and 28, 1894. This is without doubt
the greatest attraction ever offered
to the people Of this state. A balloon
race is two balloons filed at the same
time, and at the word go both dart up
ward through the air Attached to
each balloon are two parachutes-with
one balloon a lady and a dog; with the
other a gent and a dog. When several
hundred feet from the ground the two
dogs will be cutloose from their respect
i've balloons, and come sailing down
with a small parachute; when three or
four hundred feet from the balloons,
the lady and gent cut loose from the
balloons and race to the ground, thus
making a grand sight of two balloons,
four ~parachutes, one lady, one gent
and two docs in the air at the same
time. To produce this attraction it takes
six people and a half car offreight. The
fair has been to a great expense to pro-
cure it, and if you miss it you will al
ways roget it.

THE second session of the ffty-third
congress closed yesterday, after finish
ing what little business was necessary.
The new tariff bill became a law on
Monday without President Cleveland
either signing or vetoing it. He,
however, wrote another letter scor-
ing his party in congress for enacting
such a corrupt measure, but he had
not the backbone to emphasize his
feelings by using the veto power.

The Democrats are in a quandary
as to whom they will nominate for
governor and the other Offices. Some
times it is the plan to re-nominate
Peck and the rest Of the old ticket,
but this is said to be opposed by
"Boss'' WALL, who wants only Peck
and a new deal for the balance. In
other quarters State Treasurer Hun
ner is a prime %favorite, and he is re-
ported to be the choice of a large
number of the state administration
office-holders. There are not a few,
however, who predict that neither
Peck nor Hummer will be nominated,
but this prediction mainly comes
from admirers of General Bragg, who
L pushing him hard to accept the
the nomination. Undoubtedly the
S'little general" would be a very
strong candidate, but it is a question
whether he would consent to make
the run-With the chances all in favor
OF his becoming nothing but a mar
tyr for the party-after the shabby
treatment he has received from the
bosses at times when he might have
been honored as he deserved.

before the Democratic state conven-

''bosses" will not, of course, permit
his nomination if they can help it.

Government Control of Railroads.

One of the leading questions now
before the American public, one which
entails great interest on account Of
the numerous railway strikes with
which the country has Of late been
pregnant, is the movement being
agitated looking to the placing Of
railroads under control of the federal
government. 1t is in main a scheme
of the Populist party and is one of
the platform arguments of this
party's speakers; but it has other
advocates, among whom is Congress
man Haugen, of this state, who has
taken steps for the introduction of a
measure in congress with this prOvis-
ion. In the minds of a great major
ity of the thoughtful people, however,
the question meets with little APP
prevail, from the fact that it is well
nigh infeasible, and the following rea-
sons for its discouragement, given by
The Portage Register, we think are
we'll put and to the point:
To advocate the ownership of rail
roads by the government would be
foolish and dangerous; we are ready
to admit there are some reasons in
its favor, as it would do away with
strikes and would place every user of
the railway service on al equal foot
ing; but there are many more reasons
against 1t.
That the government should have
a closer control, and by proper legis-
lation get the public assured that
these disastrous strikes will be put
an end to, no n will deny; but it's
d far cry from this point to becoming
owner OF the various systems. Ii it
went into the railroad and telegraph
business-which always go together
in the scheme-there is no reason why
it should stop with that. The eleva-
tor business would follow; then all
the shipping and warehouse business,
and very soon nearly all the business
Of the country would be in the hands
Of the government, which would be a
vast bureaucracy dominating thepO-
litical and social life of the people.
This might be very convenient. 1t
would certainly be an easy and effect
i've way of getting rid Of a great
many evils. The fundamental objec-
ton to it is that it is not the pur-
pose for which our government was
constituted; that if we 60 extensively
into changing the objects of the gov
eminent we shall havetO make CORE
spending changes in its form, and
that these changes are in the direc-
ton of a ne~utralized despotism,
which is the simplest and most effect
i've form Of government known to
mankind. Against the theory that
it is the best for the development Of
civil society or of the individual men
who comprise civil society, the exist
ence and history OF the American Re-
public is a conclusive protest.
The question is a large one; large
in every way, and it must be handled
carefully and by men capable of deal
ing with such questions; and not by
men who have populistic ideas and
are possessed of vague theories on
this and all other subjects. Such
people cannot, must not, deal with
this or any other question which re-
quires strength Of mind.

THE investigation of Prof. Ely by
the university regents committee was
conducted without any verbal testi-
mony from State superintendent
Wells, the accuser, who when the time
came backed water and had not the
nerve to appear before the commit
tee and substantiate his charges.
He, however, wrote several letters in
which were statements proclaiming
the professors socialistic tendencies
in his writings. On the other hand,
Prof. Ely made a fearless and manly
defense for himself which could not fail
to meet the majority's approval, even
though his writings are not concurred
in, and whatever may be the report
of the investigating committee, the
popular verdict will be one of exoner-
alton. One result Of the widespread
interest in the case, which has been a
parallel to the Presbyterian trials Of
Drs. Briggs and Smith, is the impetus
given the sale Of Prof. Ely's books.
