THE Southwest Wisconsin, Of Lin
den, for last week did not reach this
city until Saturday, although dated
Wednesday morning. But the delay
was fully compensated for BY an un-
usally amusing exhibition Of the
editors peculiar characteristics-in
consistency, incoherence, and in
comprehensibility We are SO en-
crossed with duties pertaining to the
fair that it is i1npraeticable for us to
attemptan unrayelmento Of the editor
ial mystery presented. For month
past the officers have been seeking
for some novel attraction for the en-
tertainment Of the people at the
great Mineral Point Fair. If they
can secure the Linden editor to read
and interpret his effusions Of last
week the problem will be solved.

Silver was tendered and coined every year and gold every year but 1888 and 1879. When England in 1891 resumed specie payments after long paper regime, the coinage of gold in France, as will bs noticed in the table, fell off very much, and when in 1850 and following years the greatly increased production of gold came into the world supply it was rendered and coined in immense quantities. But all this time the hints were coining both metals, and tho open mint of France, like a pipe between two reservoirs, maintained the level of the two masses of metal and was the equalizer of their variations.
 Two Metals Really One.
 Nothing could more beautifully or tri- umphantly illustrate the fundamental principle of bimetallism. The two metals became in effect one metal, one primary money mass, to respond to the demands of debts and business and to support with broader basis the credit fabric of the world. Said MT. Cernuschi, French delegate at the monetary conference of 1881:
 "The law by placing the yellow metal and tho white metal on the same footing, by establishing fixed and invariable ratio between them, has made them really a single money"

tiye industry, if continued, cannot fail to sxliln also tho men who work for them. 9tchts cannot disappear and leave wages Untouched. When men that hire labor be- LCome bankrupt, the man who works is Sery apt to be out of job. The volumi- nous evidence gathered by the English Parliamentary commission on the depres- sion of trade and industry shows oonclu- sively that wages in England have been long falling and continue to fall. In the United States various conditions have pre- vented tho full operation of the same cause as yet, but many of its effects are already visible and the ultimate result is clearly foreseen by intelligent laboring men all over the country. Their attitude is not uncertain. They are and will be for mon ey system that is favorable to industry and that 1eais justly between man and man.
 Experience of France.
 Frequent reference is made in this dis cussion to tho experience of France in the early part of this century. Now, that gov ernment, from 1868 to 1865, and the Latin union-France, Italy, Greece, Belgium and Switzerland-from 1865 to 1873, did maintain the bimetallio system, with hints open to both gold and silver, and keep them practically at par at her mint ratio

CATARRH OF STOMACH.
What the Doctors Used to Call Dyspepsia Dr..
 Hartman Calls Catarrh

There is a disease of the stomach known to physicians as gastrtis. Dr. Hartman has shown this disease to be simply catarrh of the stomach, producing all the symptoms of dyspepsia and indi- gestion. He cures thousands of such cases, which are supposed to be incura- ble, because he has discovered the secret of their trouble-chronic catarrh. A let ter recently received from Mrs Lulu Cid dle Storm Lake, Iowa, is to the point:
 "I was taken with catarrh of the stom- ach two years ago. l was treated by three of the best doctors in the city. 1 grew worse under their treatment. I was so low l could not retain my food on my stomach at all I was advised by a friend to try Pe-ru-na which l did at once, and now feel better than have for a year. I can do my work without that tired feeling. I cannot praise your m adi- cine enough for saving my life. 1 would be glad to have my letter publ shed if it would help any one who Is afflicted as I was. T. will try and answer all letters that are sent to me, for I know just what Pe-ru-na did for me. l would be glad to recommend 1t to any one who has ca tarrh."
 A 6i-page book devoted exclusively to catarrh and catarrhal diseases and writ ten by Dr. Hartman, will be sent free to any address for a short time by The Pe- ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus Ohio

This great fact is of such con- elusive significance that the advocates of the gold standard have not hesitated to fly in the face of history and flatly to deny one of tho most notorious accomplishments on record. Such denials have been made in the course of this debate, and for that req son propose to say few words upon that subject.

HASTY WILL LOSE THE HOUSE.
Interesting Result Of Long Equity
Case.

After Eight Years the Law Court Decides
That Mrs. Bradley Can Redeem the
Mortgage on Her House.
The rescript sent down from the Law
court yesterday in the case OF Mary H.
Bradley, in equity. vs. Sherburne Il.
Merrill. ct al which decides in favor of
the plaintiff, has rather an unusual story
connected with it, AS long ago as April.
1883, this bill in equity was filed.
The other defendants named in the bill
besides Merrill are John W. Lane, John
f. Proctor and Edward Hasty. The
story is something like this. Merrill held
a mortgage for $4,000 on the house and
lot ct TIGHTS Congress street. The lot
in the rear of the house is large and ex-
tends over and borders on Monroe place
Mrs. Mary e. Bradley owned the place
and made tender of the money to pay
off tho mortgage to an agent for the hold
er of the NOR tgage. But the tender was
refused. Later Mrs. Bradley gave mort
gage on the place to John Lane for
about $3.50, which money she had received
from him. John +. Proctor managed
the matter for Lane and later Edward
Hasty bought the mortgage from Proc
tor. In this way they were all inv olyed
in it. Mrs. Bradley gave them all warn
ing not to dispose Of the property in any
way, as.she had right to redemption,
having made the tender to pay off the
mortgage. But the warning was not
needed. Hasty obtained control of
the property and not long after the
bill in equity was fled, the stable in the
rear. fronting on Monroe place was burn
ed. Hasty built house on the site that
cost some $500. Drum mond g. Drum
mond and Dennis Meaher, Esq, wers
Mrs. Bradley's counsel throughout the
case. For the defendants, Frank & Lar
rabee, Locke & Locke and Byron d. Yer
rill have all had something to do withat.
The case was argued some three or
four years ago and went up to the Law
court. 1t was in Judge Libby's charge
and at the time of his sickness and death
was mislaid.
Finally it came to Judge Foster and
he rendered decision last fall. RIt has
been going around to the other judges
since.
The decision in favor of Mrs. Brad ley
brings about the result that the $500
house built by Hasty goes to Mrs. Brad
ley. Also all this time Hasty, either for
himself or as representing the others
has been receiving the income from these
two houses, which has been about $1,000
year for some four or five years. This
is all credited to Mrs. Bradley on the
original mortgage.
The next step must be the appointment
of master in chancery TO determine the
amount of the income on the property
and to substract therefrom such aEproper
expenses as would be necessary to keep
the property from falling into decay.
This the law allows.
The two houses and lot must now be

HAULING SAND.
The Winter Work of Street Department
Getting Ready for Next Season.

The street department. has nothing in
articular going on these days except the
regular winter work of hauling sand
from the city's sandbank at the poor
farm to the city's lot. at the foot of Han
over street. When there is no snow to
handle the city teams are hauling sand.
All winter long they haul either snow
or sand. Four teams are now hauling
sand. Last year they hauled 1900 yards
1t is used in the street paving and side
walk repairing that is constantly going
on. The 1906 yards hauled last winter
only lasted about half the season.
The city is fortu nate in owning good
sand pit at the poor farm. If it had
to buy the SAND it would cost, delivered
at the foot of Hanover street, at least a
dollar yard. 1t costs 80 cents a yard
now to haul it.
Comm issioner Fernald says that the
city's sand pit cannot last forever, and
may give out in few years.
