since 1t came into power in the state,
nearly four years ago, has endeayorcd
to redeem its platform pledges. The
sentiment of the members rank

for an economical and business like
administration of state affairs. The
record is before the people. The
splendid record made should be sus-
tanned. Let the convention of the
Democratic voters of Wisconsin, which
is to be held In Milwaukee, on the
fifth of September, choose for candi-
dates for the various state offices
Democrats who stand highest where
best known able, representative men,

why 1t should not be elected.

 FL RENO, o. T., March BOA pecu- liarly horri Die murder that has just come to light by the confession of the youthful perpetrators was committed in Cheyenne county Saturday.
 A Mrs. Williams. it appears, had left her babe in the care of its younger brothers, Gibson, agei 6. and another boy still younger. During the mothers absence Gibson slipped up to the bed on which the child lay and beat it todeath with club. After having killed the baby the two boys dragged the iselesf body to the rear of the house and were preparing 10 bury 1t when discovered. Gibson, thongh seemingly aware of the enormity of his deed, refused to give his reasons for committing it, and un- til his brother told the story of their awful worx the details of the babe's terrible death had not been known.

 The first of these witnesses was an- nouncod AS John Beniekhart of Lex ington, Ky.

Witness described in detail the houses on the block front ing on Third and Upper streets and identified diagram of the locality. This is the block on which Lena Sin- gleton is said to have lived, but the witness testified that at no time be- tween April, 1882, and April, 1887, had such person lived there. This contra diets the testimony of Brandt.

 Most of the testimony was in the form of dispositions and most of it was of character which can only be pub iished in expurgated form.

The Yacht Was Purchased by the Hay
 tien Government.
 WASHINGTON, March 8O.-The mys- tery surrounding the little American steam yacht Natalie. which was sup posed to be part of filibustering expe- dition directed against President Hip polyte of Hayti. has at last been cleared up by advices received here The Ma talie was brought to Port-au-P Prince March 9 under the convoy of the two Haytien cruisers Capiola Mort and the Dessalines. The history of the move ments of the yacht from the time she sailed from Port Jefferson, N. Y., is in- teresting.
 The vessel lay at Savannah, Ga, 1, three weeks. Near the end of this period the captain gave all hands three days shore leave, and when they re- turned it was found that number of heavy cases had been shipped, which proved to be munitions of war. Some of these were thrown overheard when the vessel went ashore on one of the Bahama reefs. The yacht anchored in the harbor of Fortune and almost immediately afterwards one of the Haytian wsrships dropped anchor out side.
 1t seems that the captain of the yacht Natalie at once began Eegotia- tions for the sale of the vessel to the Haytien government, which sale was concluded on March 29 There were on board two guns of recent make and good caliber, several boxes of ammuni- ton and several cases of rifles of Amer ican manufacture. The Natalie is a vessell of IA l-2 tons burden and was sold for e520s 6s Si by I. H. H. Far rington. United States consular agent at Albert Town, Fortune island, who declared himself to be the sole owner. The money was pail by Admiral H. Killect of Hayti.
