Hail to thee. glad New Year,
To thee my hat ! doff:
But hail. or sunshine clear,
As usual, I'll swear off.
I've made. from childhood's hour,
This yearly sacrifice,
To give up whisky sour
And shake no more the dice.

Nor yet am forlorn-
But. too sad to be told,
My assets are all gone.
Good little hoy I'll he

And when next year III see.

NOT A GOOD. DIET
Great Number of Additional
Cases Of Poisoning by
Smoked Whitcfish
Being Daily Reported From Wis
cOnsin- Three Dead at
Merrill.
Poison Designated as Ptomaine
by the Milwaukee Health
Office.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 7.-Cases Of pois-
oning from eating smoked whitefish
continue to be reported, but the only
deaths that have occurred thus far have
taken place at Merrill, Wis, where AL
bert Radlof and a mali whose lame is
not given, succumbed to the insiduous
virus. Radloff's father and two other
children of the family are very i'll from
eating the fish. Twenty-Five cases of
poisoning are reported at Merrill. -Four
more cases are reported here. The vic
Tins are Theodore Suhr, his wife and
two children. Their condition is quito
serious.
Following so closely after the pros
tration Of all the students i'll CONGO dia
college, in this city. and the similar
affection Of over so people at Oshkosh,
the news from Merrill is causing quite a
panic among fish eaters and dealers,
and it is safe, to- say the market fol
smoked nsh- will be stagnant for some
time to come.
Twenty additional cases are reported
from Rrotherton, on the east shore of
Lake Winnebago, the family of George
Weber, consisting of himself, wife and
FIVE children being in a serious condi.
tions
Another Death at Merrill.
Later advices from Merrill, Wis, say
the number Of cases Of poisoning there
has been swelled to 20. One more death
has occurred at Merrill. The last victim
was George Kruger. Several others
are in a critical condition.
The analysis by the Milwaukee health
authorities developed the fact that the
fish partakcn of ut ConcCrdia college
contained the poisonous germs called
ptonlaine.
The state beard of health will invos-
tigate the cases ut Oshkosh, BrothertOn
aud Merrill.

A good sized audience, considering the

court house last evening to listen to
Hou. H. L. Loucks on the money ques-
ton. The gentleman wal very conserya.
tive in his positions yet established them
very clearly and with good effect. He
took up the cause Of hard times 40 q re-
suit OF the scarcity of money showing
that although the republicans had been
In power from 1865 to '92, or at least
their laws and policy had been alone in
effect during that time, yet the country
had come into hard straits. Enjoying
prosperity in 1865, by 1892 neatly Is per
cent Of the home owners had lost their
homes, and in the latter year, claimed to
be the most prosperous 10 the history OF
the party, there we're $4,000 failures and
1000 labor strikes, all brought about by
contraction Of the currency and falling
prices. And as long as we we're On the
gold standard, prices would continue to
fall and times to be hard, because pros
| porous times we're never known on fall
ing market. Lack of confidence, 80
much prated about, was simply q lack OF
money. The moneyed syndicates wanted
the gold standard because by it they can
control the supply OF money, squeeze the
government for bonds and milk the PEG
pie on interest and debts. Free coinage
OF silver would increase prices, create
business ana enable the 100000 idle men
to get work. The people would be en-
abled to pay their debts in the money OF
the contract besides having same left to
purchase the products OF other hands.
We iced free coinage OF silver to increase
the price OF silver bullion and put us on
u competing basis with silver using
countries IN the matter Of wheat, cotton,
and other staple productions, but above
all We need financial independence from
England. He said the labor ~organiza-
tions understood this money question
better than any other class of people
and that they were going to vote prac-
tically solidfor VIM. j. Bryan. They did
not want a European financial system.
1t reduced the price OF their labor to the
European rate at wages.

Grave Full Of Bones Found Near the
House He Occupied at Wiimette. Ills.
CHICAGO, Sept. l9.-In the dense
wood between North Evanston and
Wilmette. grave has been found full
Of human bones. The discovery was
made by A. II. Parker Of Evanston
The spot Is only few rods from the
house in which H. H. Holmes lived at
Wilmette, and it is thought by the po.
lice that the bones may be those Of his
victims. The bones had evidently been
inferred for more than two years and
were apparently placed in the grave
without coffin and no clothing of any
sort was found. From the number Of
the bones it is thought they must be
frem several people.
