Green Bay, Winona s. St Paul to be
Sold.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 6.-An order was
made in the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals, to-day, permitting the sale
of the Green Bay, Winona & st. Paul
railroad to proceed. The road had
been ordered to a sale by Judge Seaman
of Wisconsin and William S. Mowry,
representing $105,000 Of first mortgage
bonds, applied to Judge Showalter two
months ago for a supersedeas, which
was granted, and the sale which had
been set for March 5, was abandoned.
MoWry says he is entitled to the pay
ment of his bonds out of the proceeds
of the sale, the other bondholders pro
rating what is left. In 1892, all of the
bonds were united into consolidation
under reorganization. Several years
later, the road defaulted and a fore
closure was had. Mr.. Mowry now
asserted that his bonds, being of the
first issue under the old organization,
he was entitled to a preference. Judges
Woods, jenkins and Showalter heard
the arguments on writ of supersedeas
and directed that the road be sold, and
out of the proceeds the amount of
Mowry's claim be set aside until his
contention is heard and decided at the
next term of the court.

TERSELY TOLD.
(By E. r. Petherick0

kDS L. H. 1 StIiSI1Ch.]
Those who rely on luck in youth and
middle life generally depend on charity
in old age.
When Satan goes a fishing for a
preacher, and can't catch him with a
woman, he bats his hook with the idea
that the intended victim knows more
about the Scriptures than the accumu-
lated wisdom of centuries has found

Force of circumstances is the only
perpetual motion that never wears out.
Answering fool according to his folly
is giving him all the privileges and none
of the responsibilities of the discussion.
Many man will do more for drink
than he would for a dollar.
There is limit to most things, but
none to the chIld-like faith of the man
whose politics are merely matter OF

Rememb Der that the man whom you
can buy is always in the market for

Memory fills the place in old age
that imagination occupied in youth.
The world always requires proof that

claims to hate womankind he generally
hunts up one to communicate the fact

BAD ACCIDENT.

Arthur O'Day, while coasting down
the Searles hill in this city near the
court house met with quite serious
accident Monday evening about six
O'Clock. He had a small stick in his
mouth and was riding his tricycle. down
the sidewalk on the Searles hill when
he had it under full speed he took his
feet off the pedals and let her spin.
He had gone but short way when the
wheel of the tricycle. run into a crack
in the sidewalk stopping the wheel
suddenly and the boy went headlong
over the cycle a distance of eight feet
striking upon his face. In the fall it
forced the stick he had in his mouth
partially through the right cheek. The
flesh was badly lacerated and the wound
bled profusely. He was taken to DR..
Harvie's office where his wounds were
dressed. At this writing he has very
sore mouth.

KIND WORDS.

Lord Beaconsfeld once said: Il should
never have won success had it not been
for one woman, who, in the darkest
hour, believed [ would win and cheered
me on" Here is something for teachers
to think about. Nothing is cheaper
than kind words-there is no excuse,
therefore, for surliness
When our immortal Garfield was
debating in reference to which college
he should attend, the post brought him
an answer from that great teacher OF
Williams which Garfield said was like
the handshake of friend. He further
proves that his confidence was not
misplaced in thus defining a true
university: GA log with Mark Hopkins
on one end and the pupil on the other
Write your name with kindness, love
and mercy on the hearts of your pupils,
and they will cluster around you eager
to receive the fulluess Of all instruction
you may give. Their lives will be as
plastic as the potter's clay, and you, the
master, may form here a poet, there
an artist, sculptor or statesman.
True affection is won only by kind
words and kind acts. Breathe not a
sentiment, say not a word that will
offend these plastic ml1rds or send a
thrill of pain deep down into the heart.
Remember these hearts are sensitive,
which a word thoughtlessly spoken
might fill to the brim with sorrow.
Never by word or sign throw aside
smiles of joy that linger on a pleasant
COuntenance.

Advice to Boys.

Do not loaf around town. Cultivate a
desire to stay home after supper and
read some good book or a newspaper.
The more you stay at home, and the
oftener you retire at reasonable hour,
the more you will like it and the
prouder you will be of yourself on the
morrow. If anything of importance
transpires in town you will hear of it.
Upon the other hand something terrible
might occur and you might be mixed
up in it. By all means keep away from
town, unless you go there on business,
and then attend to it and go home.
People will respect you and sometime
when you need to be recognized they
will be glad to hunt you up. A mer-
chant never goes out on the street and
picks up an idler and loafer to put in
his store. If the lawyer or real estate
man wants clerk he never goes to the
bowling alley, billiard hall or saloon to
gel one.-EX.

Condition OF Trade.

The improvement expected with
spring weather begins, though in some
branches of business scarcely visible.
As consumers make spring purchases
they must lessen stocks and compel
buying. The stocks taken in advance of
consumers demands last summer have
been distributed far more slowly than
was expected, but months of waiting
have helped to lessen the load which it
is hoped spring buying will clear away.
The backward season has been an
hlndrance, and the number of hands
unemployed in important industries,
and the low prices of farm products.
Apprehensions of foreign or financial
difficulties have hindered, but are now
scarcely felt. Gold exports are rumored
but at this season are so far natural that
they have no such power to cause alarm
as they had in winter-Dun's Review.
