KENNETH IS PARDONED.
Governor Upham Extends Clemency to
a Life Prisoner.

Governor Upham yesterday pardoned
Albert n. Kenneth of La Crosse, who
was convicted on June 9, 1888, of muir
dering Anna, otherwise "Dickie" Dan
Tells, a woman of the town in La
Crosse. Kennett was given life SEN
tence. The pardon was granted for
the reason that new evidence, consist
ing of dozen or more affidavits, was
presented to the governor, tending to
show that while Kennett might have
been guilty of the crime of arson, he
was not guilty of murder. Most of
these affidavits were presented to the
governor several months ago by Kel-
nett's attorney, A. E. Bleekman Of
La Crosse, and the governor has been
since investigating and considering the
case. One of the most important of the
affidavits presented to the governor
was made by a sister of the deceased
woman. This sister, who is now
married woman. living in Montana.
came to Wisconsin for the express pur-
pose, as she stated. of doing justice to
a boy whose worst crime was bad as
sociations. The case is an exceedingly
interesting one and attracted a great
deal of attention at the time it was
tried 1t is the first pardon issued by
Gov. Upham to life prisoner.

A GREAT CROP.
Tobacco Growers Report an Excellent
Yield-Market Dull.

Madison, August IS.
Reports from EdgertOn say that
quite a number of tobacco growers
commenced shedding their crop last
week and all report an unusually heavy
growth and extra fine quality. The
work of topping is well along and the
harvest will be pushed right ahead
from this time on. More rain has fallen
during the past week which keeps the
new crop looking as promising as ever
The cooler weather will greatly facili-
tate the harvesting. There is small
amount of rust seen in some fields,
probably due to the past very hot
weather. From Sun Prairie comes the
report that the crop was never better
in that section. The market joys along
in the same old rut it has followed for
some time and at tardy pace. There
is but little riding being done. To-
bacco in farmers hands is becoming
more scarce and the farmers are stiff
fleming somewhat in holding prices.
Packers claim that there is nothing in
general market conditions to warrant
their giving better prices, hence the
smaller number of sales at present.

A FRACTIONAL FIGHT.
A Hot Contention over Location of "a
School House.

Baraboo, Wis, Aug. 14.-There is
blood on the moon" in joint school
district No. 8, composed of the towns of
Troy, Prairie du Sac and Honey Creek.
Some time ago it was decided TO erect
new school building and the selection
of a site created no end of trouble and
the matter had to be brought into court
for a settlement. Since the building
has been completed the neighborhood
has continued to be divided into two
factions, and it was decided by one of
these the other day to move the struc-
lure to another part of the district.
Wednesday they met upon the ground
and commenced to prepare new
foundation and move the structure. The
opposition at once got an injunction
from Judge Kelsey and when Sheriff
Hubert reached the scene to stop the
proceedings there was great activity
The two factions are greatly exercised
over the affair and bloodshed is feared
all the time. Threats have been made
and hot words exchanged, but as yet
there has beer no combat. There
will be a lest made of the rights Of
those interested before Judge Kelsey.

Bavaria. The emperor is the son of
the Archduke Charles. 1t was the rev.
olution of 1848 that compelled Ferdi-
nand to abdicate. The tragic death
of the Archduke Rudolph left the en-
peror without son, so that the throne
passes to nephew. The emperor is
very popular. which is largely due to
his ability to speak all the languages
and dialects of his heterogeneous en-
pire. Next to Queen Victoria, who
ascended the throne in 1887, Francis
Joseph has held the sceptre longer than
any other christian sovereign.

AT STEVENS POINT.
Getting Ready for the Opening of the
Convention

Stevens Point, Wis, Aug. IL
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the State Pharmaceutical
convention today. Arches have been
erected and stores and residences dec
Grated, while exhibitors are now az
ranging their displays. Several of the
funniest amateur wits in the country
have commenced their rehearsals for
the Komikal Rooms, among them be-
ing Charley Sickles, J. w. Miller of
Philadelphia and W. F. Pfueger of
Milwaukee. While the convention has
its business side the occasion is also
largely in the nature Of an outing, and
the program shows many novel fea-
lures of entertainment which will be
effective in driving from the druggists
mind for the time being at least the
worries and cares connected with mix
ing pills and selling postage stamps
The ladies will be taken in to assist in
this, and they have an auxiliary society
which meets at the same time.

Fond du Lac, Aug. 15.-After hay

years, William Aver, son of Mrs. Mary
Aver, has returned to his home. The
young man went west to seek his for
tune, five years ago, working for far
mers and on the railroads. Becoming
discouraged with the west, he worked
his way to the eastern seaboard and
shipped as a deckhand on a merchant
vessel bound for Liverpool. For some
time he wrote home, but after a while,
receiving no answers to his letters.

mother was dead, he ceased to write,

sells and steamers at wages that were
constantly reduced, until utterly dis
couraged with life he returned last
