day, $33. making a total cost Of $37.12
for digging 22.A tons Of beets. n $1.65

the ground by blowing a deep furrow
with the landslide as near the beets an
possible without cutting them. They
were then easily thrown in piles

Forests Hold Sn0w.-The authorities
in Colorado have been examining the
forest regions of the state to determine
to what extent they hold back the
snow from melting in the spring. 1t is
a new idea to many people, and yet
entirely reasonable. 1t is found that the
forests retard the melting of the SHOWS
and SO cause the waters to flow down
gradually over a much longer period Of
time than is the case where the trees
are cut away. They thus have q ten
dency to prevent floods in the spring
and droughts in the summer. 1t is very
evident that We will DON have to fol-
low the example Of France and begin

THE DOUBLING HEART.

She hated song and light and flowers,
Life was bur.en to be borne,
A heavy rosary Of hours
Told listlessly from morn TO morn.
The long hours leading to the light;
The day dawn longrd for like friend;
Day slowly wearing 10 the night:
The dreary light that would not end.
And at the opening OF door
Her weary eyelids rose and fell,
And silence pleased her more and more,
And darkness soothod her like u spell.
And when he spoke she could NJ ,neak,
But turned her face for him tc %
The little hollows in her check
That love had dug there necdlcssly.

DIMrLEs AND WRINKLES.

The deepest of dimples to wrinkles have
run
Since Mary was twenty and twenty-one;
But, dimpled or wrinkled, my sweet
hearts the same,
From the sunburst of life to its last little
flame.
The cheeks that were roses are shrunken
and pale,
But their velvety purity never will fail;
And lips that were flushed with the red
blood of youth
Are warm with "A love as undying as truth.
The blue of her eyes is fading to gray,
And the gold of her hair is silver to-day;
But the soul is the same that was orbed in
the blue,
And silver is golden when love lights the
view.
And, dimpled or wrinkled, blush will
confess
The happiness born of lovers caress,
For the heart of a woman is tender as true
And the passion it chershes ever is new.
With Mary at twenty and me twenty-one
Than dimples naught sweeter was under
the sun;
With Mary at sixty and me sixty-one-
Why, dimples were made SO that wrinkles
might run.

Long Distance Telephony.

There are at present nearly 1000 in
dependent telephone exchanges in the
smaller cities and towns of America
operated similarly to those in this CITY,
Wausau, Merrill and vicinage. \ new
syndicate with practically unlimited
capital, says the Chicago Chronicle. has
been formed during the last three weeks
to enter the telegraph and long distance
telephone business and to fight the
Western Union and Bell corporations.
New York, Philadelphia aud Chicago
capitalists are interested and 100000
of the capital has already been under
written for immediate outlay.
The plan ofthe new syndicate is to con-
meet all the independent exchanges by
long distance wires, to penetrate other
territory rapidly and to keep on building
until all the states and territories are
wired with as many ramifcations as all
the older com panles now have in the
aggregate. Telegraph and long-distance
telephone service, at popular living
rate, which low capitalization will allow,
covering the entire country, is the goal
of the promoters.
Competition is on the cards and the
rates of the monopolies are to be cut in
two. The public, it is believed, is to
have cheaper telegraph and long dis
lance telephone service. The "Report-
er" joins the hosts in saying that the
public could stand the reduction grace
fully.

Rose May Go Free.

Through the columns of the Milwau-
kee Sentinel we learn that a pardon is
said to be awaiting Miss Rose IoldOski,
of Richland Center, now serving life
sentence at Waupun. Readers of the
Reporter will readily remember the
story of the alleged crime Of this lady
and the efforts Of our friend Mark II.
Barnum to secure her liberty because
he believed her to be innocent. The
Monday Seminal says:
It is learned on what is regarded as
very good authority, but not that of the
executive himself, that Gov. Upham
will, before retiring from the guberna-
torial Office, issue a pardon to Rose
Z0ldoski, row serving q life sentence at
Waupun for the murder of Miss Ella
MaIv at Richland Center, Jan. S, 1891.
An application for the pardon of Miss
Zoldoski has been pending before the
Governor tor long time, and it is
known that he has made a personal
visit to the state prison and held con-
versation both with the yOnng woman
herself and with the prison. authorities,
and that the latter are in favor of the
granting Of the pardon. Members of
the Board of Control are also said to adj
vOCate her release. Gov. Upham has
not vet fully examined the evidence,
nor is 1T cOntended that he is to exercise
his prerogative on any other grounds
than that of executive clemencY.

While the Republicans are engaged
in getting up alliterative campaign
cries they should not ignore the Nc
Kinley law panic of 1898, and the ter
rible poverty which followed. "Pro-
lection, panics and pauperism" is a
terse and truthful statement of cause
and effect. In view of the million or
more of idle men thrown out of en-
ployment while the tariff of 1890 was
in force, q good platform on which to
appeal to the American workipgmen
would be ''ta1es, trusts and tramps. I"
For the farmers the high taxation
shouters can try mckinley, mono
poly and more mortgages" Any of
these notices would correctly describe
the Republican policy, whereas the
use of the words protection and
prosperity" is humbug and q fraud.
Protection is only another name for
heavier tax burdens on the masses,
and no people ever became prosper GUS

A Mighty Poor Show.

that his three-tent show will be filled
with various kinds of prosperity, espe-
cially for the farmer. With his dis
tinguished predecessor, the late P. T..
Bsrnum. Mckinley evidently thinks
that "the people like to be hum.
bugged," and is doing his best to fool
them into voting for his high tariff
mono-hippic aggregation.
Unfortunately for the Ohio show
man his circus was on view for q good
many years, and the people found out
that it is a monumental fraud. The
stale Jokes of the "tariff-is-not-a-taI"
clowns no longer smuse their hearers,
and the somersaults turned by the
men, who claim that protection puts
prices up and also makes them fsll,
are so clumsy as to be painful.
The alleged savage animals labeled
British Free Trade" and Foreign
Pauper Labor" are known to be
stuffed with sswdust, and the sacred
"home market" COW is q clumsy con-
tinusnce OF pasteboard and straw.
The pink lemonade, which Mckinley
calls "high wages for labor" is made
of one lemon rind to one hogshead of
water, sweetened with invisible sugar.
The ring performance is very bad, the
only diversion being the attempt Of
Major Mum to straddle two financial
horses going in opposite directions.
In spite of the cries, "Walk up, walk
up, and see the great magician extract
good times from high tariff pump
kins," the crowd Is not running to the
Mckinley tent. Everybody who saw
the show in the years from 1890 to
1894 says that it is not worth the price

hill another place where the bullet
struck was found. Here It leaped up
into the air almost perpendicularly,
and when II came down in the rice field
II hit the mans wrist, broke the bone,

Where are your tickets?" asked the
steward.

and the steward left the stateroom. He
searched the passenger list in vain for
the name Van Pelt or the name Du-
rend. Then he went back to the state
room and turned Mrs. Durend over to

compelled her to leave the ship.

attempted to drive its rightful tenant
out. Occhslin escorted the intruder to
the pier and left her.
She again appeared at the docks and
attempted to steal aboard the steam

ognized, owing to her rich attire. She
had been plainly dressed upon the two
previous occasions. She was again
turned over to Marshal Bernhard aad
