veloPs a Young Heroine.
In January last a Philadel Jhia tene-
ment house was buruc1. Two men were
killed and several persons were badly
;ured, while others escaped in an al
most miraculous manner. The fourth
floor was occupied by the family of
Joseph Zellers. The father and mother
seem to have been absenf, but the five
children were at home. All were saved
through the bravery and GOODNESS OF
the oldest of them, a girl of IS, whose
conduct is briefly described by the Rec

Jenny Ze1lers was dressing tie chill
d~en, the youngest A mere babe, when
cloud of smoke came into the room and
i the same time the frantic cries OF
those below reached her ears.
Hastily Opening the door. she saw the
flames leaping UP the stairway toward
her. Never hesitating. she closed the
door, and calling the children together
forced them up a ladder and through a
trap-door to the roof. They were ele-
waited high above the surrounding build
ings, and below them the flames were
roaring with terrible fury.

the brave girl dropped her brother, a lad
Of IA, to the roof of the house 70 the

boy landed safely, and then the girl
braved the fire in her doomed home to
secure a quantity of bedding
This she threw to her brother, who
arranged iton the roof, and then, one By

The infant she took i'll her arms and
leaped with it in safety to the bedding.
Next she broke a skylight in the roof to
which all had escaped, and lowering the
children through it, they all reached the
street.

The question Of whom the republic
cans OF Grant County shall support for
thetnext governor of Wisconsin ought
no longer to be in doubt. We have in our
county gentleman eminently fitted
in every respect for the high Office
He is the peer Of any man in the state
in ability. education, exalted character
and sterling honesty. That man is
Duncan McGregor Of Platteyille- In
endorsing his candidacy the county
viii honor itself no less than it honors
him.
He is not a politician in the narrow
sense Of being a wire-puller, and ma
nipulator Of caucuses;he has never be-
fore been q candidate for any political
office. Butin the larger. nobler signid-
cation Of being VOL yersed IN SCIENCE
Of government. thoroughly conyersant
with the political history Of the state
and nation and keen student Of pub
lie affairs, he is a politician On more
properly statesman.
Belonging 10 40 clique or ring, he viii
command the enthusiastic support Of
every republican in the state and if
nominated and elected he will be above
the power OF boss or faction to control
and free to exercise his splendi abil-
titles in the best interests Of the whole
people
His record commends him. What
ever Duncan McGregor attempts. he
does and does.it well. In his success
full career there is nothing to excuse
or explain away. The Platteville
Normal school, with which he has;been
prominently connected for % years
and Of which he was president sixteen
years, is unimpeachable testimony Of
his strength and energy as an execu-
tive officer and man OF affairs.
His bravery, loyalty and patriotism
weae tried and proven genuine in the
nations struggle in the rebellion.
His distinguished services as a brave
soldier and able officer are not least
among his claims for support At this
time.
He is a man Of the people. Al
though most Of his life occupying
high positions he has never gotten out
OF touch and sympathy with common
folks. No honest man is so poor or
unfortunate that Duncan McGregor
would hesitate to take him by the
hand and call him brother. No friend
in distress ever calied in vain on him
for good eousel or financial aid. He is a
man who wears we'll His best friends
are those who know him best.
We look for his candidacy to be re-
ceiyed with favor and for it to grow
in power and intensity until it encom-
passes the whole state and Grant
County's honored citizen is IN the CUB
ernatorial chair.

would be well if he gave him ten francs

unsuspecting clerk handed him the
sum at once, and the stranger, after
promising to stand him drink when
he returned, left him After the clerk
had waited about half an hour another
cyclist came up, and, Selling him by

were arrested. and at the station it was

AN HONORABLE VEGETABLE.
The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana
conda MONTY Onion Society.

The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana
conda (Mont.) Onion Society.
The nutritious and wholesome onion
occasionally finds its indicators. At
the thriving Montana city of Anaconda
there is a dining club called the Ana.
eonda Onion society. Its first feast was
recently given with distinguished sue
cess.
Down the center of the hall, says the
Anaconda Standard. was set a long
table, with cover for all the guests. At
each plate was large and juicy onion,
in the middle of the table was an array
Of meats, bread, fruit-crackers, cheese
and other things.
At one end of the hall foated the
standard of the club in proud conspic-
housness. 1t consisted of a pole sur
mounted by string Of the vegetables
from which the socity takes its name.
On the wall hung this motto, beautifully
wrought:
IN ONION THERE is STRENGTH.
Each member wore Il pretty bouton-
nier of little onions. The occasion was
greatly enjoyed by all the participants.
and the society hopes to do much to re-
store the onion to the honor and esteem
CT the world.
In Montana, as well as on the whole
of the Pacific slope, the onion attains a
deliciousness of quality which is com
paratively unknown on the eastern side
of the continent. If the people of the
east could have onions as good as those
of Montana and California, it is possible
that the Anaconda Onion society might
find imitators in the east.

THE TRADE DOLLAR.
the Editnr nf tha nlnha

10 the Editor OF the Globe.
The trade dollar of the United States con-
talns 712 grains of pure silver more than our
standard dollar. Why, then, is not the trade
dollar worth as much as the standard dol
lar? Voter.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug IS, 1896.
The trade dollar is not a coin of the
United States today any more than the
Mexican dollar The coinage of trade
dollars was authorized by an act of
1878 They We're not intended for do
mestic circulation, but for trade with
the Orient to compete with the Next
that the law making all silver coins
legal tender to the amount Of SIS COW
ereds the case OF the trade dollar.
Therefore, congress, in 1876. took away
it's legal tender quality and limited the
future coinage to what might be nee
essary to meet export demand. In 1877
it was directed that such trade dollars
as were redeemed at the treasury
should be recoined into standard silver
dollars or subsidiary coin. The coin
age Of these pieces was entirely dis
continued in 1878.
We have thus q complete record of
the attempt of the government, by all
the means in It's power, to do away
with the trade dollar entirely. 1t is
not coined, and when coined 1t has no
legal tender standing. 1t does not,
therefore, come, within the scope Of
the declaration made by the United
States that it intends to keep all its
different forms Of currency at par.
This is not a part of our currency sys-
tenn, and wasnnever intended to be a
feature of it. Therefore, the promise of
the nation to keep all It's currency OF
equal value with gold does not apply
to the trade dollar: and it circulates,
when it circulates at all, only at it's
bullion value.
