r. II. 'Cowles returned yesterday
morning from a trip to San Francisco.
He says California is clothed in green
and the fruit crop is still promising.
Wholesale merchants continue 10 tom
plain of hard times but matters are i'm
proving some on accoun Of the Peoples
Railroad and several other new enter
prlses. San Franciscu is losing part OF
the southern California trade but ex-
poets to recover it if the new road
touches Los Angeles. Beef continues to
advance and the market is higher for
all kinds of meat. In Dakota and Mon
tana an advance of from two to five
cents more is looked for in beef before
July. Bill Gibson and Lou Bevier are
out of the saloon business and stranded.
Money is still tight but better times are
looked for with summer traffic. The
weather was very warm one dav and
the rain poured down the next.

There have been rumors and rumors
of railroad changes in the air lately and
where there Is SO much smoke there
must be a little fire. Wadsworth was
fortunate in having such a live man as
Gus H5nshell locate here and while he
has been here but a short time he has
accomplished a world OF good. Nui-
sences HAT have been eyesores to the
people of the community since the new
town Was built have been removed,
greatly through his efforts. Improve
ments that are a credit to the town and
to the originator of them have material
lied and are a pleasure to the sight.
Others are under consideration and in
diaate progressive ideas. The number
OF cases OF different forms of typhoid SO
prevalent here last summer have
brought about inquiries that are leading
to a thorough investigation of the causes,
and an analysis of the water We are
using, that are bound to result in sani-
tary measures being taken. The citi-
zens themselves are in a great measure
to blame for this condition of affairs
and a united effort on their part will be
met by the Southern Pacific Company in
a like spirit and work wonders. Since
Mr.. Honshell has been here he has taken
a practical interest in the towns welfare
and has done everything in his power to
improve and beautify the streets and
surroundings. We shall be sorry for any
change to come that would take him
away and this seems to be the universal
feeling. What he has accomplished
shows what a surprising amount of good
can be done in a short time by a wide
awake citizen. The county commission
ers are disposed to give Wadsworth her
share of the road tax this season and In
future, and that the money should be
used to the best possible advantage and
placed where it would do the most good.
Commissioner Alt authorized J. +. Cros-
by, w. Ii. A.. Pike and n. A. Hummel to
oversee the work. These gentlemen are
interested in the gnod of Wadsworth and
will do the best they can in the effort to
accomplish all they can with the funds
at command. The benefits TO be derived
from public work is to the common good
OF all. Every citizen and every freeholder
is a sharer. 1t is likewise the duty of
every citizen to advance the interests of
the town by improving his own proper
ty by doing those thousand little things
about his residence that will improve its
appearance. Likewise IL 1t the duty of
every citizen TO Improve tbs sanitary
condition of his premises when she can.
A little effort on the part OF all will do q
great deal and while we now have one OF
the prettiest villages in the State there
is nothing to hinder us from making it
the prettiest. The railroad people are
doing their share; let us do ours.

THE CLOSED MoU1HED ALLEN.
He Never Talked Politics to His Rancf
Ha1ds.

He Never Talked Politics to His Ranch
Haads.
A few days ago a Carson man was
down in Churchill county and reaching
Lem Aliens ranch, he concluded TO call
on the old political hay-seeder. Riding
up to the gate, he asked a man in a cas-
ual way it "the Speaker Of the House
was in.
"Who do you mean by that" asked
the man leaning over the fence.
81 mean Lem Allen, Speaker of tho
House."
"Never heard of him spoken of in that
wa, round here"
"Don't you work for Lem Allen who
was Speaker of the Seventeenth Ses-
sion?"
81 work for Lem, but he amt nc ses-
sion Speaker as | know Of"
81 suppose you knew he was a mem
Der of the Legislature? was the next
query.
"Never told the boys anything about
it on the ranch. l supposed he went to
Carson to run horses"
Didn't you know he was running for
the Assembly last fall 2"
"Never heard a word of it. He never
said nothing about it to me-" =
Didn't you vote last fall"
"No. we waz all busy as thunder haydn
and never heard of the lection until
about Christmas. Heard Lem say the
Silver party had raked the persimmons,
bat didn't know he was in. Lem never
talks much politics to the ranch boys
anyhow. Guess he knew he had a sure
thing aud didn't need our votes anyhow.
No, Lem amt here today he'd off
somewheres fixen the bitches or perhaps
he runuiR horse races at Pizen Switch.
Say stranger, amt you joshin about
Lem bein Speaker of the House. Pm
goin to ask the family about it, and if
it's 30, we'll josh Lem to death about it.
I Thought he'd been keepin mighty quiet
about his Carson p."-Appeal.

The Truckee Republican SAYS:

Charles Davidko, who has a wife and
two little children and who is as poor as
any church mouse ever dared to be, was
arrested Monday afternoon by a patrol
ma for catching a trout in Bonner
Lake. He was taken before Judge Hill
and pleaded guilty, whereupon the JUS
tice imposed the very light fine OF $40
upSn him. The defendant did not have
a cent with which to pay his fine and go
Constable Long paid ii for him. It
seems that the State Fish Commission
ers sent two or three patrolmen up here
from San Francisco several days ago to
see that the fish law is enforced along
the Truckee river and at the lakes.

"A HORNETS NEST.

Winneconne Local-"Governor
Upham has apparently stirred up
a small hornets nest among the
surviving veterans Of the Twenty
first Wisconsin Infantry. The
history of that regiment shows
that it took prominent part in
the battle of Chickamauga and
formed part Of the line that un-
finchingly held the most holly
contested portions Of the field.
The survivors take a warrantable
patriotic pride in the record their
regiment made at the great fight,
it being one of the few that did
not run at Chickamauga." The
survivors, in consequence, are
naturally anxious that their posi-
ton on the field should be correct
ly marked, beyond the possibility
Of a doubt, by the monument
which the state is about to erect
on the spot held by them. When
Gov. Upham appointed the COM
mission to visit the field and locate
the positions held by Wisconsin
troops, he ignored the Twenty
first entirely by not giving that
regiment a representative. This
raised a storm and to elk up"
matters the governor appointed
Capt. ~ J. H. Woodnorth, the
present pension agent at Milwau-
kee, to locate he position held by
the Twenty-frst, of which he was
a member. Here is where the
''fun with the boys" really begins.
The battle was fought Sept. 1920,
1868, while Capt. (?) Woodnorth
did not enlist until sometime in
1864 and did not serve with the
regiment four months altogether.
The "boys" are determined that
their position in the historic battle
shall be correctly marked, even if
it shall be necessary to upset the
entire work of the commission in
their case, and feel little hot to
think that the governor appointed
them a representative who person
ally knew no more about the
matter than a marine, when he
could have chosen from scores
who fought on the ground.

Or the contract entered into. To
appropriate that money to the
treasurers would be what? Either
a bold, naked gift as if it were
appropriated to me or to you, or it
would be compensation for services
long ago rendered as state
treasurers. The supreme court of
this state said, in the case decided
against Mr.. Wells, that the legis-
lature could not violate under any
guise-additional clerk hire or
anything else-that constitutional
provision; and | do not doubt the
proposition that if the legislature
should attempt to pay back to the
state treasurers that money, the
supreme court would be obliged
to hold, in the light Of history,
that it violated the clause Of the
constitution which prohibits the
legislature from making a recon-
pensation to a public official after
the service is rendered, and they
could not pay it to the sureties
because the treasurers owe the
sureties, and if they paid it to the
sureties they would simply be
paying the debt Of the treasurers,
and it would be precisely the same
thing. It is all balderdash. 1t is
an arrant humbug for democrats
to hold this bug-bear before the
people Of this state,> and seek to
deter them from voting in favor of
the republican candidates, upon
the theory that if they did this
money would be paid back to the
state treasurers. 1t has been
collected and it never will, and
never can be paid back, and every
intelligent democrat in this state
knows it.
1t will be seen that the legal
point made by Senator Spooner,
that paying back to the treasurers
interest money collected from them
would be increasing their compen-
sation, which the constitution
prohibits. 1t would produce pre-
cisely the same result to cancel
judgments against treasurers who
had not yet paid. Here is evident
ly question for the supreme court
to decide. What will the harvest
be?"

IS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
The law which sneaked thro

The law which sneaked through
the legislature and signed by the
governor debarring all weekly
papers, in cities Of over ten and
less than fifty thousand inhabitants
from bidding on city printing, is
condemned in the strongest Ian
guage in Superior. The writer
has interviewed a large number Of
Superior's taxpayers and without
dissenting voice they declare the
law a rank outrage not only upon
the throttled newspapers but upon
the taxpayers. Some very good
lawyers believe the law unconsti-
tutional.
How such bill could be passed
in a body composed Of sane and
fair-minded men is beyond compre-
hension. No more infamous class
legislation was ever passed by an
Am er1can body. Why the COVER
nor should attach his signature to
such bill is passing strange

sPOONER's OPINION ON THE TREAS
URY CASES.
State Journal: At the Republi-
can state convention last fall, the
committee on resolutions decided
that it was unnecessary to make
any declarations on state affairs,
but re-affirmed the platform of two
years before, which fully stated
the position of the party upon all
state issues. The Democratic
papers and speakers at once
claimed that this action meant that
the Republicans, if they came into
power, would dismiss the pending
treasury suits and reimburse the
treasurers who had paid. In order
to silence this Democratic clamor
the party leaders thought that
some authoritative announcement
should be made. Ex-senator
Spooner was to open the campaign
Oct. 4th, in Milwaukee, and he
was requested to discuss this
matter. Here is what he said:
1t is my opinion that the legis-
lature could not pay back to the
treasurers that money if they
wished. Why? The supreme
court decided that the money be-
longed to the state, and it has been
paid to the state and covered into
the treasury of the state The
treasurers have agreed to serve
the state for the compensation
fixed by the statute, haven't they,
in the later years? Not so, think,
in Maj. Baetz's and Mr.. Kuehn's
time. Now our constitution pro-
vides that the legislature shall
never make any extra compensa-
ton to public officer or con-

TORE ABOUT THE GOVERNOR.

cisms OF Governor Upham and all
We care to do now is, to give our
readers an opportunity to view his
administration from different
sources. We append the follow
ing: -
Madison State Journal: To The
Editor: | am greatly surprised to
see how shamefully our party plat
form has been trampled under foot
and our party pledges disregarded
in passing and approving the bills
for the relief of Ex-Treasurers
Baetz, Kuehn and McFetridge. |
hope that when their term Of
office expires that all of these
gentlemen who had anything to
do with supporting that bill will
forever hereafter be excused from
holding any office in our party. l
have been a Republican for s.
years, have always been proud of
our party and also Of being a Re-
publican, but now I am sorry to
say l am ashamed of both the
party and of belonging to it. I
feel like a rooster after taking a
dive in the cold water, though |
do not know where to go.
O. KNUDsoN.
Madison, April IS, 1895.
Although the legislature and
the Governor have failed to fulfil
the promise Of the Republican
party, in the treasury cases, twice
made to the people, there is a
chance that this remissness may
be atoned for by Attorney General
Mylrea. At present, anyway, he
is the man in the gap. He does
not assume to pass upon the
merits OF dement's of the action
already taken. He simply doubts
the constitutionality Of it and he
proposes to have the questions
involved referred to the supreme
court, and will await its decision
before he sets aside the judgments
against Messrs. Baetz, Kuehn and
McFetridge, as directed by the
bills passed by the legislature and
signed by the Governor.-Apple-
