Now that many of the telephone
patents have expired and the instru-
ments in use are free to all, farmers
who have barbed wire fences may
convert them into telephone lines.
1t does not seem TO be necessary TO
insulate the wires, those fastened TO
posts by ordinary staples work
perfectly. When gates or bars inter
yene, a pole is erected at each side,
and the wire run up TO the top of one
and then across and down the other
TO make the connection. Roads may
be crossed in the same way.-Baldwin

We said two weeks ago that the leg
islature had killed the bill to create a
deep waterway commissioner for Wis
consin. That was true at the time,
but il seems that the legislature ran
riot with the state treasury during its
last week, and among other useless
legislation we find that this piece of
nonsense was resurrected and passed.
The Governor FASTENED to sign it. 1t
made one more office TO fill, and then.
perhaps, Charley Pfister wanted it. :"

1t is a subject OF general comment
about Madison that there never was a
stronger, more persistent and more
cOrrupI lobby about the Capitol than
that which las disgraced it this win
ter. Not a single measure affecting
railroads was permitted TO pass. Even
an investigation as to whether the
railroads honestly pay their license
fees was killed by refusing the neces-
sary means to carry it into effect.
The railroads are the only parties in
Wisconsin who are permitted to fix
the amount of the tax themselves as
they practically do under the present
law. There is no supervision of the
amount they are to pay that is at all
effective. 1t is indeed strange that
this greatest source of revenue of the
state should have been left entirely to
the sweet wish of the parties inter-
ested in defrauding the state. and yet
such is the case. Mr.. Hall of Dunn
county made repeated efforts TO get
this at least investigated, but in vain
He also introduced bills for the cleo
ton of railroad commission on the
same plan as that of Iowa and proved
conclusiyely TO any unbiased mind
that we are paying some fifty per cent.
higher freights in Wisconsin than are
charged for similar services in Iowa.
but these plain business propositions
found no responsive chords i'm the
minds of our legislators. Mr.. Hall
even went so far as to poll many of
the towns at the late town meetings
on the question of abolishing the free
pass system and received as an en-
dorsement of his position on that
question $1,000 votes while only 600
were east against it.

THE DEBATE.

A great deal OF interest is being
taken in the Horr- Horvey debate now
going on in Chicago on the silver
question. In consequence Ct this the
following brief sketch OF the lives OF
the principals will not be amiss:
William Hope Harvey was born in
Buffalo, Putnam county, w. w., Au-
gust 6, 1851. He left school when six
teen to read law and three years later
was admitted to the bar. In 1875 he
moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and prac-
ticed law here for two years. He
located in Chicago in 1877 and began
the practice OF law, having an Office in
the Portland block. In 1879 he went
to Gallipolis, O., and began a partner
in the dry goods firm Of 4. Halliday &
Go. He married Miss Anna Halliday,
by whom he has had four children.
In 1884 he moved to Denver, Colo,
where investments became his special
line OF business. From 1890 to 1893
he lived in Ogden. Utah. In May, 1893
he returned to Chicago and began
the literary work which has made him
famous.
Roswell G. Horr was born in Yer
mont In 1880. When at the age of
four years his family moved to Ohio.
He is a graduate OF Antioch college,
and was clerk of courts Of Lornin
county, O., for six years following his
graduation. He was admitted to the
bar and in 1866 went to Missouri,
where he engaged mining for several
years. He then went to Saginaw,
Mich, and engaged in banking and
afterwards in the lumber trade. He
has served three terms in congress
from Michigan, and for the last five
years has been connected with the
New York Weekly Tribune, besides
having lectured all over the country.
Oratory, for which MIR. Horr is
famous, will not avail in the debate
but the keen logic and appreciation
Of advantage which also characterize
his speeches will make him a worthy
opponent to the cool-headed author OF

HouaH Died on Saturday, July IS, at Mitchell,
>. D., John Hough, aged ~ years, Of MAlarial
fever.
John Hough was we'll konwn to many
OF our citizens, and frequently visited
Lieut.. John r. Wood, under whom Mr..
Hough served during the war. The
Mitchell Republican gives the follow
ing account Of his death aud life:
Shortly after 3 o'clock Saturday
afternoon John Hough died. A little
e three months ago Mr.. Hough was
taken sick at Yankton Indian agency
With typhoid malaria fever and re-
mainad there for a week very sick,
when he was brought home. 1t was
not thought he was particular danger
GUS until his stomach commenced Civ
ing him u great deal OF trouble, an
ailment which was of long standing
and it was due to this chronic disease
that took away his life. During his
sickness he received the best possible
attention form his friends and members
of the A. o. u. w. lodge, of which he
was a member. Mr.. Hough WAS a jov-
shi. SSNSN AiIa y hbo utlu uuIuuCt Gu q
great many people among his friends.
The deceased was born September y,
lS4S, at Bath, Canada, and moved with
his parents to Utica. N. Y, in 1850,
later moved to Wisconsin, Iowa, and
Minnesota. In 1862 he Unlisted in the
LIST calvary OF Dakota, Co. B. and serv-
ed in the then northern part of the ter.
ritory during the skirmish with Sioux
indians. In October 1873, he was mar
ried to Miss Maggie Hammer, from
which union, four children were born
three girls and n boy, all of whom
are living. In 1880 the deceased moved
to Dakota, locating at Redfield, where
he resided nine years and then moved
to the YanktOn Indian agency as
superintendent of the faIm. In
November, 1891, Mr.. Hough and family
moved to Mitchell, being engaged In
the life insurance business for q time
and during the past six months or
more has been selling horses at the
YanktOn agency. where he contracted
the fatal disease.
Shortly before 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon fifty members of the I. o. U.
w. lodge and thirty members of the
G.. "A. Il. post marched to the residence
of the late John Hough to participate
in the funeral ceremonies. The house
and grounds were filled with sympa-
thizing friends. Rev. A. r.. Boogs
conducted the fundral services in q
very impressive manner and the sing
ing was done by Misses Lee. Some
very beautiful and appropriate floral
offerings were sent by friends and the
A. O.. U. w. lodge, of which the de-
ceased was a member, presented a
handsome anchor. A long line OF
carriages followed the remains to
Graceland cemetery, preceded by the
two orders. The pail bearers were:
r. d. WEIGH, A. J. Kings, Thos Fuller
ton, Benz. Holt, l.. Indra, and w. N.
Hollands. At the ceremony the ritual
of the A. o. U. w. lodge was given by
Post Mastar Stair and Master Work.

Stunning ~ cents as the price to be re-
ceived for the corn, the 1915 600 would
represent 1857 500 bushels. tits gen
orally conceded that corn will go SO
bushels to the acre on the average
hereabOuts, which would make the
acreage $3.50. The average corn
patch In Union county is 80 acres, and
We would thus have 422 farmers rails
ing so acres OF corn each. We would
not be afraid to wager that there are
500 farmers in Union county alone who
will each harvest so acres OF corn this
year.
Thus It will be seen that Col. Rogers
must be shy in his figures when one
county In the state can raise twice as
much corn as he gives the whole state
credit for. We have not the slightest
doubt but what the state of South
Dakota this year will produce 5000,
600 bushels OF corn.
