RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN, THURSDAY.

Jackson Republic: The prosperity
of town is not gagged by the wealth
of its inhabitants, but by the uniform.
ity with which they pull together
when any important undertaking is
to be accomplished. A man with
81, 900 at his command and love OF
his own town at heart, can do more
for the building and improvement OF
If than the millionaire who locks W
his capital and snaps his fingers at
home progress.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press: Wisconsin
has now tried its new inebriate law
for several months. The law
authorized county judges to commit
confirmed inebriates to institutions
where they might be cured by the
Keeley process. the expense to be
borne by the county, and the cost
limited to $3.50. Naturally enough
the taxpayers did not take kindly to
this law, which has so far been availed
of i'm 137 cases. The statement that
the majority of these cases have been
cured strikes us as decidedly prema-
ture. A ''cure" of this sort needs a
long and severe test before it can be
regarded as actually successful.
Here are some timely hints on the
care of cellars: "Before any fruit or
vegetables are put in the cellar for
winter use, clean it thoroughly, disn-
feet and whitewash it. Whitewash
makes cellar cleaner and lighter,
and it should be done every spring and
fall. Sulphur is 2 cheap and effective
diSinfectant. Close ali cracks and
burn pound of sulphur by throwing
it upon red hot Goals in an iron kettle
placed in the middle of the cellar.
Then thoroughly ventilate. A dry
cellar is necessary to keep vegetables
in good condition. and the dryer the
cellar the less liable it is to freeze. A
peck OF lime placed in the cellar and
renewed every two weeks will absorb
a great deal of dampness. If the
butter is kept in the cellar with the
vegetables, keep it as far from them
as possible. Tie a thick cloth over
the top Of the jar and put an earthen
or wooden cover on top. Set the jar
on Stats to insure free circulation Of
air; if placed on the cellar floor mold
will form at the bottom"

SHOWERS OF SAND.

Very Peculiar Atmospheric Conditions in
Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas.
KANSAS CITY, April ia storm Of
great severity passed over Eastern Col
orado, Kansas, Oklahoma and the
Southwest generally. In Colorado and
Kansas it is believed considerable dam
age was done, but it is impossible to
learn anything from those sections be-
cause of the fact that all telegraphic
communication has been cut off. 2
Reports from Oklahoma state that a
destructive wind and sand storm passed
over Southern Kansas and Oklahoma,
doing much damage to crops. Apeculiar
feature of the storm was the intense
darkness and extraordinary electrical dis
play. The atmosphere was surcharged
with electricity and several persons and
horses were stunned and shocked by
electric shocks. In the western part OF
Oklahoma and the pan handle Egyptian
darkness prevailed. Such peculiar
storm has seldom been seen, and the
superstitious thought the astronomical
conditions which, is has been claimed
by a South Carolina minister, are now
repeating themselves for the first time
since the death Of Christ, had some
thing to do with it. The rain that fell
in Western Oklahoma was actually a
shower of mud.

NOT ENOUGH LIFE BOATS

Compla,nts Against the Steamship Com
pauies nm the Great Lakes.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Complaints
have been received at the Office of the
supervising inspector of steam vessels
from a numbsr Of ports on the Great
Lakes, including Milwaukee and Du-
luth, that many of the passenger
steamers plying in these waters do not
carry the number Of life boats pre-
scribed by law, and that in many cases
those which are carried are rendered
useless in an emergency by being
fastened down or allowed to get out of
repair.
General Dumont is now on a tour
which will take him to many of the
lake points, and it is likely that he will
institute an informal investigation. If
it appears that there is ground for the
complaints the local inspectors will be
instructed to look intothe matter rig
idly and see that steps are taken in
every instance to comply with the letter
OF the law.

A PAPER REVOLUTION.

Very Few Cubans Willing to Take Arms
Against Spain.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-From infor-
nation just received through the state
department channels the prospects are
that the revolution in Cuba will soon
end. The assertion is made by those
who claim to have received this infor-
nation that the revolution exists largely
on paper and that revolutionists instead
of numbering $4,000 or 10000 do not
exceed one-tenth of that number. The
only hope of the belligerents is that
they will receive either recognition or
some aid from this country. We're it
not for the fact that this assistance was
anticipated from the United States the
opinion is expressed by diplomats that
the present tempest in Cuba should
have ended some time ago.

..L..ANGEV|N TALKS.
No Encyclical Received From
the Pope on the Manitoba
School Question.
THE POLICY C0NC|LlATORY.
Catholic Supporters of the

WINNIPEG, April l7.-His Grace
Archbishop Langevin has granted an
interview to the Associated Press cor
respondent with reference to the report
in circulation here that his present ut
terances on the school question were
inspired by the receipt Of an erGVclical
from Rome. His grace denied tnat any
encyclical had been received or was ex-
pected from the pope, but admitted
that he had received a letter from the
cardinal vicar, Ledoschowski, saying
that he was pleased with the attitude
of the episcopacy Of Canada in the
matter: This epistle, however, was a
Mere Matter Of Courtesy
and could not be cons dered an edict
from Rome. The cardinal general in
his letter added a word against goddess
schools, that is, schools from which re-
ligious teachings had been eliminated
altogether.
"Supposipg that Catholic should
support the public school system Of the
province, your grace, what would be
the attitude of the church toward him
or his family?'
"He would not be considered a good
Catholic. He would not deserve the
name of good Catholic and would not
be communicated, as it is not heresy.
A broad spirit of liberation is to be fos.
tered rather than that which davors of
narrowness and is likely to
Provoke Ill Feeling.
No, we wish to have our schools, GER
tainly, but we unite with the English
clergy and others in denouncing the in.
PRODUCTION of purely secular schools.
No Catholic worthy of the name will
support movement for such an end"
''Then your grace's policy" said the
correspondent, ''is practically the same
as that enunciated by Mgr. Satoli?'
"Practically the same, conciliatory
and firm, but not aggressive" was his
grace's reply.

alton has issued the following state
ment:
Upon inquiry at the foreign office it
was ascertained that the Washington
d spatch to the Associated Press giving
Nicaragua's reply to the ultimatum OF
Great Britain is substantially correct.
The reply, however, falls very short OF
lSreat Britain's demands. The British
ultimatum demanded reparation for the
expulsion of Mr.. Hatch, the British
consular agent, and for personal injury
sustained by British subjects, and the
appointment of a commission to arbl-
trate the amount of damages done to
the property Of British subjects. etc.,
indicating the composition OF the COM
mission and
Stipulating That No American
should be chosen as member. MIC
aragua now seeks to refer the matter TO
an impartial commission Of arbitration,
apparently ignoring the main demand
respecting the expulsion of Mr.. Hatch
The foreign Office is unable to state now
what Great Britain's course will be, as
the position is extremely delicate; but,
apparently, Great Britain can, without
loss of dignity, accept such a compro-
m 80 as Nicaragua suggests.
The foreign Office has received no in
formation and discredits the reports
that the United States has indicated OBJ
ject;ons to the bombardment of Gray
town or tile landing of troops.

Eumored Intervention of the United
States Not Likely.
WASHINGTON, April II. 1t is learned
that the state department has made no
protest against any proposed British &C
ton in Nicaragua, for the very good
reason that the British government has
regarded the issue between itself and
Nicaragua as one in which no other
nation can have any concern, and has
not acquainted the United States with
its exact purposes. No vessel Of the
United States is now at Graytown. but
the six vessels comprising the squadron
of Admiral Meade are now at Colon,
within days sail of Graytown. 1t is
said at the navy department that the
fact that the six vessels are now within
reach of the Mosquito coast is
Duo to Accident and Not Design.
The department has been informed that
Admiral Meade expects to reach Key
West on the 28th Of this month, and as
he is now only five days. sail from that
point he can remain five days in the
vicinity of Graytown and still carry
out the itinerary agreed upon. There
are no orders compelling him to be at
Key West at the date named, although
it was part of the general plan ap-
proved by the department before the
squadron left on the cruise. 1t is prob
able that the Atlanta and Raleigh will
remain where they have been for some
time lat Colon) after Admiral Meade
