" The Bell of Justice"
lullsburg Pick and Cad.

Shullsburg Pick and Cad.
It is beautiful story, that in one of
the old cities Of Italy, the King caus-
ed bell to be hung in a tower in one
of the public squares ard called it
"the bell of justice" and commanded
that any one who had been wronged
should go and ring the bell and SO call
the magistrate of the city and ask and
receive justice. When, in the course
of time, the lower end of the bell rope
rotted away, wild vine was tied to it
to lengthen it, and one day an old and
starving horse that had been abandon
ed by its owner and turned out to die,
wandered into the tower and in trying
to eat the vine, rang the bell. The
magistrate of the city, coming to see
who rang the bell, found the old and
starving horse and he caused the
owner of the horse, in whose service
the beast had toiled and been worn
out, and declared that as his poor an
imal had rung the bell of justice, he
should have justice, and that during
the horses life his owner should pros
vide for him proper food and drink
and stable. 1t is a great pity that
some of the hitching posts in
Shullsburg are not provided with
6" bells Of justice" and that a magis-
trate is not ready to render justice to
the horses that are left unblanketed
and unfed for hours on stormy nights,
while their owners are enjoying the
comforts Of a good fire and taking in
a number Of whiskey straights in some
neigh5oring saloon.

LOCAL PRESS POINTS
CAPTURED a Live Deer.

BarabOo Democrat.
Last Friday while two boys Of the
Third Ward-Fred Muckler and Wat
son Ableman-Were on Devils Lake
for the purpose Of fishing, they saw a
fine specimen of buck deer on the ice,
and so they hurried to the spot. AS
the boys neared the deer he attempted
to strike and fell on the ice. One of
the boys sat down on the animal while
the other ran to a neighboring house
after some cord with which TO tie the
deer's legs, and then they brought
their prisoner home on a delivery
wagon. 1t is against the law to cap
ture deer at the present time, but it is
easily understood how difficult it was
for the boys to resist the temptation
of capturing the animal. They have
placed the deer in comfortable quart
ers and are taking excellent care of
him, and as long as they DO this it is
not likely that any one will try to en-
force the law and to compel them to
release the deer.
Not one minute elapses between the
taking of One Minute Cough Cure and
relief. Why shouldn't people take
One Minute Cough Cure? They
should. They do. 10

teehth Infantry, and his service has
been almost continuous. He was re-

New ORLEANS, LA, March 7.-Con-
gresham Blanchard has been appointed
United States Senator to succeed Asso-
ciate Justice White of the United
States Supreme Court, whose resigna-

Blanchard will serve until the Legisla-
ture meets, in May.
Congressman Newton Grain Blan.
chard of Louisiana, was born in Rapides
parish, Louisiana, January goth, 1S49.
After receiving an academic education
he commenced the study of law at Alex
andria in 1868, and in 1869 entered the
law department of the University of
Louisiana. He was admitted to the bar
in 1870, and the same year moved to
Shreveport, where he has since continued
to reside. Here he began the practice
of his profession, forming partnership
with James Ashton. He soon became
prominent in politics, and was selected
when only 81 years old as chairman of
the Democratic executive committee of
Caddo parish. In 1879. he was elected
to represent Caddo parish in the consti-
tutional convention which framed the
present constitution of the State. In
the fall of the following year he was
nominated for Congress by the district
convention at Natchitoches and was
elected by handsome majority. In
1882 he was reelected, and has been re.
turned to every Congress since without
serious opposition. In 1888, when Sena-
tor White succeeded Mr.. Eustis in the
Senate, Congressman Blanchard was a
candidate for the position.
In the House Mr.. Blanchard made O
strong fight for duty on sugar.

thinks he has hit upon the natural
remedy for sleeplessness. 1t is in brief
to curl under the clothes like kitten,
or put the head under the wing like a
hen. His detailed description of the
technique is given in letter to the
Medical Press and Circular, when he
says: "rhis insomnia seems to be now

sit up late and overwork the brain, and
then go TO bed in an excited condition.
No one seems to have hit,upon the ma

take choral and the like at their peril,
and tine fatal consequence not seldom
ensues. 1t is all wrong, for you cannot
control the dose required for the exact
circumstances. But try natures plan
instead-lower the supply of oxygen to
the blood-produce little asphyxia,
limit the quantity of air to the lungs,
and the heart and circulation becoming
quicker, the brain loses its stimulant and
sleep follows. When you find yourself
i'm for sleepless night, cover your
head with the bed clothes and breathe
and rebreathe only the respired air. Thus
you may reduce the stimulating oxygen
and fall asleep. There is no danger.
When asleep you are sure SO disturb the
coverings and get as much fresh air as
you require, or, when once drowsiness
has been produced, it is easy to 60 on
sleeping though the air be fresh. What

DAN COUGHLlN GOES FREE.
The Jury Declares Him Not Guilty
ys of DR.. Cronin's Murder.

acquitted After Resting Under--Suspiclon
and Being Held in Custody for Five
rears-Wiid Demonstrations In the
Court Room.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March S.-'The hap
picst man on earth at Abs o'clock this
afternoon was Dan Coughlin. When
the clerk read out the words ave, the
jury, find the defendant, Daniel Cough.
lin, not guilty." a warm flush went over
his face, which before had been of u
deathly white. There was rush that
almost swept the happy man off his
feet. Newspaper men, old-time friends
of the prisoner before his troubles, came
upon him in body and nearly wrung
his hand of.
Then the prisoner worked his way up
to the jury box, and shook hands with
as many of the men as he could reach
but the crowd was too much for him,
and, yelling and cheering, to show its
delight, pushed him away from the box.
A cry of Make way, there; open up
passage; make way" was heard, and
TWO stalwart balliifs pushed through
the crowd, and close behind them, her
hat awry, her veil half up, and gasping
with sobs that choked her, came Mrs.
Coughlin. Dan was striding to liberty
as though he wore league boots.
Dan, come back here; see your wife, "
called SO voices, and Coughlin retraced
his steps.
Just at the foot of the little flight of
stairs leading UP to the judges rostrum
he met his wife. The woman gave an
lncoherent cry, her arms went up, fast
ened themselves around her husbands
neck, and then she gave way utterly.
She only said: ';Dan, Oh, Dam" But
nowhere but in Dan Coughlin's heart
was there such joy as in the bosom of
the little woman who clasped tight
against her husbands heart and felt him
hers again.
1t was ASS o'clock when the jury
came into court with sealed verdict.
The document was hadded to the clerk
and he read in clear tones:
We, the jury, find the defendant,
| Daniel Coughlin, not guilty"
AS these words were heard a great
shout went up from the crowd in the
court room. Hats were thrown high In
the air, handkerchiefs were waved and
cheer after cheer broke upon the stiff
and stately court room and a mad rush
was made for the door by those anxious
TO tell the news to the crowd without.
Judge Futhill, his face atlane at the
breach of court etiquette, demanded
silence, and bailiIfs vigorously pounded
for order, but it took considerable
time for the enthusiasm of the crowd to
| subside
The Coughlin trial has been one Of
the most noteworthy in the crimina
annals of the country. Daniel Cough
lin, an ex city detective, was charged
with completely IN the murder of DIR. r
II. Cronin, prominent Irish physician
CronIn was well-known IN one factor
of the Clan Ma Gael, and it was to mem
bers OF an opposing faction that hi
murder was charged.
| AT the former trial Conghlin, Martin
Burke and Patrick O'SulliYan were con
victed of the murder and sentenced t
life imprisonment, The two latter dice
in prison and the present defendan
secured new trial. g..
