Long Wants Lind.

Hon. L. c.. Long has seen fit to explain
more explicitly his position on the silver
movement in the second congressional
district. The Herald man did not wrong
ly quote Mr.. Long and the latter's posi-
ton in the last Representative is as fol-
lows and is true and gives our position
exactly: II did say to Mr.. Hodges on the
third day Of July, 1895, at Sleepy Eye,
that considered Hon. John Lind an
honest, able man, and, as there seemed to
be no show TO elect IL congressman in the
second congressional district who en-
dorsed the whole of the Omaha PLATFORM
that. if Mr.. Lind would run independent
for Congress on a platform containing
the money planks of the Omaha platform
with the initiative and referendum in
addition, l for one would support him
and advise the Populists not to put a can
didate in the field"
Right here we want to say that this
is the exact position occupied by Hon.
E. 4. Meilicke of Window. He believes
that half loaf is better than none and
that he would rather see man like John
Lind in Congress than u gold standard
man. In so doing we as anti old party
ties would not sacrifice one iota Of our
principles. We believe the matter is
fully explained. Sleepy Eye Herald.

Get An Egg and Snin II.

In fact, get two eggs, one boiled and
the other raw, and spin them rapidly
on their sides on mirror Or other per
fectly smooth surface. If you put the
palm of your hand gently upon the
boiled egg while it is spinning, it, Of
course, ceases to move, and remains
motionless after you have lifted your
hand. But if you do the same with 2
raw egg, it will Immediately begin to
spin again when the hand is removed.
Indeed, it is extraordinary how long
you can hold your hand upon it with
out destroying it's motion. The reason
OF this is no doubt apparent The fluid
within the egg continues to revolve,
though the shell is stationary, while
in the other case the whole egg is
stopped. If you attempt to spin the
eggs on the mirror like a top, you will
find that the boiled egg will spin for
considerable time, but the other will
fall almost Immediately on it's side.

La Crosse; Wis, June 3O.-Capt. 70.
a. Wheeler of La Crescent, Mimi,
SHOT and fatally wounded G. r. Con
uolr, tea store man, in front Of sa-
loon last night. The trouble started
from dispute between Gondolf and
one OF the inmates of a house Of i'll
Iame, Of which Wheeler is said to
nave been a frequent visitor.
Gondolf is still alive but with alb
solutely no hope of recovery. The
bullet entered the right side near the
shoulder and ranged downward
through the lungs. The wound was
proDed eleven inches without finding
IT, and no further effort will be made

brother arrived from Dubuque this

money at their business and spent
1t freely, but were never consid-

fact. however, that the man who
was shot made good deal Of trouble
at Ollie Reeds house of i'll fame earli-
or IN the evening. and it was neces-
sary to forcibly eject him. In doing
this, Wheeler struck him a blow that
made it necessary for him to visit q
physician and have the wound sewed
up: When they met later ON the street

1t were, as he chung to the flag-poi4,
while he wrenched the flag from it's
1Astenings.
He worked with will, watched all
the time by those on the ground, and
when they saw that he had wrapped
the standard around his body, and had
started upon his descent, a great cheer
arose from every throat.
Lower and lower he came hand over
hand, with a flush Of victory on his
face. The banner tapped 4 little in
the wind now. but its freedom was sub
dued. No longer it kissed the winds
from the pinnacle Of the lofty staff, nor
was it nailed there in defiance to the
colonies.
Louder than ever was the cheer that
rent the air when the triumphant boy
reached the ground, and unwrapped
from his body the wind-torn banner
which he had secured.
L told the general thought I could
bring 1t down." he said to the officer
VINO stepped forward to take the cap
tured banner.
IN another moment he was hemmed in
by wildly shouting crowd and strong
men took him upon their shoulders and
carried him in ecstasy across the parade
ground.
1t was moment Of proud triumph for
the little patriot, and his pride Increased
when Gen. Knox sent to thank him for
his daring act
IN little while another flag foated
from the Flagstaff Of Fort George; but
IT was not the standard of the king.
IL was the stars and stripes Of the
young nation which had secured its
right to have a flag by seven years
war; and when Johnny Van Arsdale
saw the other banner waving graceful
ly from the Flagstaff his eyes lit up
with joy.
1T Is the prettier flag Of the two.
Long may it wave" cried he.
And while it aoated there, the last
British vessel vanished and New York
held no soldiers but those who would
henceforth occupy it.
Johnny Van Arsdale lived a good
many years after his daring act in low
erlng the British flag, and more than
once he was compelled to relate to
groups of children how he took it down
from It's lofty height, and saw the BAN
ner OF freedom take it's place.
mus was the British flag, raised by
men, taken down by a boy, whose name
and deeds the pages of American his
tory have kept alive even unto this day.

A CAT FIGHTS WITH FISH,
Pussy Likes the Sport and Is Clever
and Sure Catcher.

and Sure Catcher.
Cats, as rule, don't like water. but
an Italian fisherman named Michael has
large Maltese named Joe that loves
water as much as other cats love a rug
in front of crate fire. Michael has
one Of those fattern-rigged boats, and
goes fishing in the usual way, except
that he takes Joe along. He likes to
have Joe, and Joe likes to go. While
the boat is on the way to the fishing
grounds Joe lies still and don't mind
how wet he gets or how much the lit
tie craft pitches about. But when the
seine, with its load of wriggling fish, is
hauled in, JOe'S fun commences He is
most anxious to get hold of the largest
and will often jump into the net before
1T is landed. When a big rock cod is
thrown on to the deck the cat is in it's
glory. He will run around and attempt
to shake it as he would a mouse The
fish spreads out it's fins and opens its
mouth, and Joe gives it a twist by the
tail that causes it to turn a dozen SOM
ersaults. Then the pair will roll over
and over together, and the fishermen
nearly kill themselves laughing at the
sight. The cat gets wet and covered
with scales, and possibly gets pricked
several times with the spines of the
fish, but it seems to thoroughly enjoy
the sport. When the fish is almost dead
from being out of the water Joe seems
to think it is all his doings and that he
has really killed it in a pitched battle
He then waits for another fish fresh
from the deep, and repeats the perform
ance. The cat seems to have no other
idea in playing with the fish axcent
sport, for it never attempts to eat the
larger ones, but lives almost entirely,
on the small fish that are used for bait.
No other fisherman on the bay is
known to own cat, and Michael is as
proud of Joe as if he were the only cat
in the world ~~~-

mat 1t was to float on even after the
last British soldier had vanished down
the bay, and when Gen. Knox and his
troops took formal possession of Fort

that obnoxious ensign.
IL must come down, but how? The
patriots did not want to destroy the
tall Flagstaff, for they wished to hoist
upon II another flag, which would rep
resent the newest republic on the face
OF the globe, so they gathered about
the staff as they suggested means of
lowering the British flag.
The English vessels were vanishing
down the narrows, and their white sails
would soon disappear, but there in the
wind waved the flag they had left be-
hind, bidding defiance to their CONQUER
ers, and saying in mute language that,
though the colonies were free, the en-
blem of king still remained to disturb
them.

resentatives of the state legislature,
was recently elected secretary of the
National League of Republican clubs,
he will still perform, at least until

This point was decided upon at "a

of the state editorial association held
at the Windsor hotel, following a din
ner given at the hotel by Mr.. Bowling
to his friends. The meeting of the
committee was called ostensibly for
the purpose Of accepting Mr.. Dowl-

proffered the committee decided to
not accept it and prevailed upon Mr..
bowling to continue his duties until
member worthy to be his successor
can be chosen. The committee did not
feel able to perform that task. .

Here, sergeant, take this boy over

ward, and in a little while Johnny Van
Arsdale was walking at his side toward
Gen. Knox's headquarters.
The boy had seen the chief of Wash
ington's artillery, but had never been
in his presence.
The sergeant took the lad to the gen
erals headquarters and saluted.
''This boy says he can climb the flag
staff and remove the British flag"
The kind face Of Knox was illumin-
ated by smile. He looked the boy
over from head to foot and said:
you look agile, boy. You have
climbed before, have you?'
Eyes, SIR" replied Johnny, blushing.
IF you would let me try to take the
flag down I would do my best"
you shall try, and you look capable
OF doing it," and with another salute
the sergeant withdrew and marched
the delighted boy back to the parade
ground.
The crowd gathered about the f1ag-
staff, looked at the boy, and soon I'M
derstood what was up. A great many
Of them knew him, and not few knew
how agile he was.
Not only had the departing British
nailed their flag to the pole. but thew
had knocked out the cleats and creased
