Wisconsin Letter.

The STAR has received another
letter from Mr., E. B, Hughes, who
is now in Wisconsin, from which
we make the following extracts:
Speaking of Madison, the State
capital, he says:
1T is surrounded by TWO large
lakes, about eight miles across
them, and the finest fishing town
in Wisconsin, or has been, at least.
They can't fish there now, as there
IS disease among the fish that Is
killing them out. | have seen
thousands of pounds of dead hs.h
on the edges of these lakes, anG
the authorities have been busy
having them carried off. There
is fearful odor around MadiSa"
lnow. No cause can be assigned
| for the destruction Of the fish.
This is a very rich country,
though over rated as to the price Of
land. They ask from 500 to $50
for land and it is very little better
than the land around Kosciusko-
Let me say right here that we have
the best country in the world If We
would Just manage il like the

BREIDENTHAL WINS.
Supreme Court Holds His Term
IS Bank Commissioner of
Kansas Continues to

Topeka, Kas., June S.-John W
Breidental, chairman of the Popu-
list State Bank Commission,
won his case in the Supreme Court
and will continue to hold the office
of Bank Commissioner until Feb
ruary II, 1897. The Office of State
Bank Commissioner was created
by the Legislature of 1891, and
the law provided that the Commis-
sioner should be appointed by the
Governor, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, for a term
of four years.
Governor Humphrey, after the
adjournment of the Legislature,
appointed Charles F. Johnson, of
Oskaloosa, to the Office. When
the Populists went into power
Governor Lewelling removed

by the Senate, and appointed Brei-

were not in the army determined
to come to town and appropriate
the provisions to themselves.
They formed some miles North OF
town and started in. The Home
