GOV. UPHAM'S MESSAGE
Wisconsin's New Executive Ad-
dresses the Legislature on
State Affairs.

To the Honorable the Legislature: It
becomes my duty at this time, as the
executive of the state, to briefly review the
condition of state affairs and to submit to
you such recommendations as seem to me
to be called for.
You are assembled under conditions
which are unique in the history of the
state and nation. The country has been
subjected to one of the most disastrous
such are the recuperative qualities of the
American people that from the very
depth of financial disaster they are emerg
ing hopeful and courageous.
Our own state has suffered less, perhaps,
than many others. We have reason to be
thankful to the Providence which has
shaped our affairs and allotted to us such
a diversity of nationalities and so great a
variety of resources, that no ordinary dis
aster can seriously disturb our financial
or social economy. We have reason, also,
to be grateful that our state has
been so free from dangerous cpl
denies, and exempt from those man
ifestations of lawlessness which have
distressed other states. We may
vel be proud of our varied and enormous
resources. In them the people have
rich heritage which it becomes your duty
to SO husband by wise legislation that it
may be transmitted unimpalred to future
generations
There will be submitted to you detail re-
ports of the various departments of the
state governments and the institutions I'M
der their charge. These / doubt not, Will
receive your careful attention:

would not submit to arrest. Speed
said he would carry out his orders.

"Tillmanism." We are fully aware
that the Constitutional convention
was called and fraudulently counted in
against an adverse popular vote, fol
the expressed purpose ofpermanently
disfranchising the mass ofthe Repub-

We, therefore, insist and urge that

at all, than to vote for such men.
But wherever Conservatives are put
forward as candidates, who ere fully
committed to the principle of free and
fair elections and equal justice for all
classes, or whose character and stand
ing are such that they may be trusted
to stand firmly on these principles,
we urge all Republicans, not only to
vote for them, but to support them in

some OF the towns In the State
are doing a good deal of talk now a.
days about their enterprise in the
Cotton Mill industry. We rejoice al
their success and hope that they may
60 on to perfection. But to our
mind Union is not behind any. We
are not making much blow about it
bat We are going to have the new
mill just the same and she's going
to be big one.
The stockholders of the present
Company will meet at the mill office
on the 5th., of August and increase
their capital etooA from $125OOO, to
100000. What q world of mean
ing there is in that increase, and how
much does it betoken for our town,
yes. and for the county!
10 many horny handed son of

at good wages, where the cash comes
when tho works done. TO the NOR
chant it means more bodies to clothe,
more feet to shoe, more apetites to

cash to make business hum. When
a working man can get cash for his
labor he pays cash for his provisions.
The money beats lien for supplies

purchaser because he gets more for
it, and it's better for the merchant
because he takes no risk and has the
use of the money.

fitted by this new mill. Every person

and profitable employment for labor.
1t will be an especial boon to the lat
ter. Capital can get along very we'll
by itself, but moneyless man with
out employment is in hopeless con-
ditien, indeed. But this new mill
carries other intelligence: it is an un-
conditional endorsement of the
present mill-it's work, it's products
and it's management. The work and
management, however, show for
themselves, and may be observed by
anyone who will take the trouble to
examine the product ard visit the
mill, and the regular dividends indi-
cate the profit; yet it is pleasure to
be reminded that the mill has not
only been q success but that it has
done so we'll with one talent that the
stockholders are now ready to intrust
it with FIVE talents.
To our minds Union is not behind
any Of her sister towns and cities in
the mill enterprise that has swept
over our State. Considering the
means at hand and the results accom-
plished We think Union is nigh about
the top.
We have already one of the best
mills in the State, and Just now is
being launched what will be one of
tie biggest in the State. It's going
to be a mill right.

AUNT MAslE, THE SNAKE WOMAN.

Death of Queer Creature Who Lived In
a Hut With Hundreds of Snakes.
There has recently died a well known
character of this neighborhood known as
Aunt Masie Higgins" or the snake wo-
man." who lived an isolated life, with
snakes as her only friends. She had built
herself howell, composed of branches of
trees clay and other debris, which, though
often washed down by the rains, she would
build up again. This novel residence is
said to have been fairly alive with snakes
Of every local variety, hanging from over
head lying under foot and creeping from
the chinks in the wall. The woman sub
sisted on the products of a small garden
near her cabin, which she cultivated her
self. With the exception OF the necessary
intercourse with those from whom she pur.
chased the few things she required, she was
never known for over 80 years to have held
any conversation with any human being.
She could often be met after dark walking
through the town with her strange com.
panions twined about her arms, her neck
and nesting in her bosom, with their ugly
heads protruding, Kissing at every one that
passed.
On these occasions, however, when hailed
or questioned she would make no reply.
Once some boys of the neighborhood prowl,
ing about her cabin found several of the
snakes on the outside and killed them, and
before they were aware of il Aunt Masie
appeared in the doorway ar ned with shot.
gun, which she let fly at the crowd. None
of the boys was killed, but one of them
was shot through the ear, and the rest scat
tered in hurry, That the woman's mind
was Affected there seems littlo DOUBT Her
only son while ont hunting in the woods
was bitten 10y rattlesna &c, and days aft
erward his swollen and discoloi ID body
was found. This appeared to craze his
mother. VINO left her home, saying the
the snakes were calling her to come and
live with them and that they would give
her back her boy.
She Is said &c have come of good fam
lily and to have been well educated. When
discovered, she had been dead for days, aud
the snakes were crawling over the body,
but fled on the appearance of strangers and
have not been seen near the cabin since By
those who have seen her surrounded by her
queer adopted family it has been estimated
that there must have been at least 200 of
them, numbering among them several ven.
omous varieties. The woman did not claim
to have charmed them, as the saying ses
but it is probable that her perfect fearless
ness tanned them.-Okolona (Miss.) Cor.

Hard is his lot, indeed, and sad his life,
Who needs must leave his happy home, his wife,
His babes, his friends-all that the heart in
thralls-
And go to Punishment in foreign lands,
Or 30 to war and stain with blood his hands,
When duty calls.
And he of different mold is wretched, 100,
Who has ambitions, longs for something new,
Who Graves adventures, whom no hap ap-

Yet whom each day brings but the wonted

The weary task at Office, bank or store,
Where duty calls.

Until all were united and the night had reach

And then they tuned their fddles, and they

And took once more their comets, with their

And hoarse and foggy basso, which first SEEM
