Decoration nav at Collyar.

COllyer Post No. 1O7, W.xR. G. and
S. of V. Camp No. 155 made all neceS-
sary arrangements to observe DecOra-
tion Day, but owing to the inclemency
of the weather there was small at
tendance. Yet, Notwithstanding the
rain, the post, corps and S. of VS.
and the few citizens who had braved
the storm to be present on the occa-
sion, took advantage of the lull be-
tween showers, rode out the cemetery,
for the purpose of carrying out the
purpose of the day, decorating the
graves of fallen heroes. After deco
rations were made, the post chaplain
invoked the divine blessing, after
which Collyer Camp No. 155 S. of VS.
under the able management of Capt.
o. B. KesSler saluted the dead by fir
ing three volleys over their graves.
All then returned to the post hall
where they listened to short but in
teresting and instructive address by
John A. Nelson, of Wa-Keeney.

WITHDRAWING school lands from
market for two years on account of
the irrigation bill passed by the late
legislature was brilliant (?) idea. So
far as we are advised not one quarter
section of school land has a state irri-

could more than one quarter section
have been used in any one county.

Fate of Pious Dan.

Run down and get the doctor, quick?''
Cried Jack Bean with a whoop.
Run, Dan, for mercy's sake be quick,
Our baby's got the croup!"
But Daniel shook his solemn head
His sanctimonious brow,
And said, II cannot go, for
Must read my bible now;
For / have regular hours to read
The Scripture for my spirits need
Said Silas Cove to PiOuS Dan,
''Our neighbor 'Rastus Wright,
Is very sick; will you come down
And watch with him to-night!'
He has my sympathy" says Dan
And / would sure@be there.
Did not feel an inward call
To spend the night in prayer.
Some other man with Wright must stay,
Excuse me while l go and pray"
''Old Briggs has fallen in the pond!''
Cried little Bijah Brown;
''Run, Pious Dan, and help him out,
Or else he sure will drowni"
Il trust he'll swim ashore said Dan,
But now my soul is awed.
And must mediate upon
The goodness of the Lord;
And nothing merely temporal ought
To interrupt my holy thought"
So Daniel lived pious life,
AS Daniel understood,
But all his neighborS thought he was
Too pious to be good.
And Daniel died; and then his soul,
On wings of hope elate,
In glad expectancy flew up
To Peters golden gate.
Now let your gate wide open fly;
Come, hasten, Peter. Here am L.
I'm sorry, Pious Dam said he,
THAT time will not allow,
But you must wait space, for
Must read my bible now"
So Daniel waited long and long
And Peter read all day.
Now, Peter. let me in,' he cried,
Said Peter, Il must pray;
And no merely temporal affairs
Must ever interrupt my prayers"
Then Satan, who was passing by,
Saw Dams poor shivering form
And said: My man, it's cold out here,
Come do n where it is warm
The angel baby Of Jack Bean,
The angel, 'Rustus Wright,
And old Briggs, white angel, too,
All chuckled with delight;
And Satan said, "'Come Pious Dan.
For you are just my style of man

Gov. Upham, by his failure to
sign the Milwaukee School board
bill has killed one Of the best
measures passed by the legislature.
He has postponed indefinitely the
time when Milwaukee will begin
to have more rational and
modern system of city government,
he has done what he could to
discourage the men who have
worked, in the face of many dis
couragements and with no motive
but desire to benefit Milwaukee,
for this admirable change in the
structure of the School board.
What arguments have persuaded
the governor to take this course it
is impossible to state, and useless
to conjecture. We trust they
were more solid, and more salts

Condition of Trade.

In every speculative department bust
ness is growing, but this is really the
least satisfactory feature of the situa-
ton. Cotton, oil and wheat climb
above the export price, so that the
marketing Of products abroad must be
checked, and money is absorbed which
ought 10 be employed in productive
industry and in distribution Of products
TO consumers. Everybody knows that
oil has not risen 200 per cent. because it
is intrinsically more valuable, nor is
wheat actually worth more than it was
two or three weeks ago, but the expan-
sive and uplifting force has unfortunate
" taken to speculation rather than to
production, and so we have higher
prices in all speculative markets with
ont q larger demand for consumption

PLAlNFIELD.

The people of this community we're
shocked last Saturday evening to hear
that John Bates a farmer living five
miles from here had committed suicide
by shooting himself in the breast with 4
80 caliber double action revolver.
Death resulted about six hours after
wards, he having suffered greatly until
q physician arrived which was about
three hours after the shooting. THIS is
the second case of suicide that has
occurred in this community during the
present month. Mr.. Bates was a
person badly ruptured which it is
thought was the principle cause of
suicide. Otherwise he was strong and
healthy and was hard working man
and good neighbor. On Saturday last
he had been blowing all day and about
four o'clock came to the house, suffering
great pain in the stomach, but all that
was done to relieve him had no effect.
While he was alone in the dining room.
having sent the members of the family
on errands the report was heard and all
rushed into the house to find him
slttin- on the lounge with bullet hole
in his breast and the revolver near by.
DR.. Rhoades was called and eased his
pain but there was no chance for
recovery as he was bleeding internally
and grew weaker rapidly and died
about midnight. Deceased was 20 wears
old and leaves Il wife and two adult
children, being Mrs William James and
Lester Bates, both residing here. The
relatives have the sympathy of the
community.
The funeral was held Monday last
from the Harris school house, the Rev.
Il. D. Sparks preaching the sermon and
the remains were inferred in the
Plaintield cemetery.

The picture of every man who
voted for the bill should be turned
to the wall and on the back of
each should be written in plain,
bold characters ''Weighed in the
balance and found wanting"
The presentation Of the bills to
the Governor for his signature no
doubt marked the turning point in
his political career. If he had
been mindful of his ante-election
pledges and vetoed the bills he
would have been the most popular
man in the state Of Wisconsin.
This he did not do. That he did
not do it constitutes one of the
saddest chapters in the political
history of the state.
