ON THE MUSCLE.

Under the leadership of the pugnacious
are assuming the aggressive with vigor
and boldness that seems to put fusion
with the Democrats out of the question,
as the following, among many Incidents
will show. On the 18th instant the At
lanta Journal published sensational
card from Anzmon A. Murphy, a Populist
leader, addressed to Capt. f. p. Howell
of the Atlanta Constitution, in which the
former charges the latter with making a
false statement in speech at Iebulon,
Ga, and then refusing TO print his (A1ur
phys reply. Murphy. says in his Zebu-
Ion speech he said that Howell had adj
mitted to him that Hines polled more
votes than Atkinson for governor. Cap
tain Howell pronounces this statement as
unqualifedly false, and Murphy tells him
emphatically that he lies. The fiery
Populist winds up his work for the
present with the following bellicose
offerings, which, if they do not lead to a
fight or back down somewhere, will
show that the Georgians of to-day are not
the same they were thirty or more years
ago. Says he: This must stop. From
this time on shall hold you to per-
sonal account for any reflection upon
me that appears in your paper, and
damn be he who first cries, hold,

pity since the charges were made that it
should fall to the lot of man from Mr..
Bryan's own State to make them; but
while "wrath is cruel and anger outra-
geous," Solomon asks, "who can stand
before envys' In this case envy may have
something to do with the attack, as the
Nebraska Senator in all probability hates
the idea of a .man from his own State
reaching the Presidency, for which no
doubt, he believes himself to. be better
fitted.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and
alternative is felt. a prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

This has been an exceedingly fatal
year to aeronants. Several have met
death by falling from dizzy heights dur
ing the present ascension season, and on
Monday one man was killed at Quincy,
ILL.,, and another at Oak Cliff, Tex. Each
attempted to descend in a parachute.
There is no doubt a great deal of excite
ment connected with a balloon ascension,
but according to the results this year, it
is altogether too hazardous to be followed
as profession.

STORY OF THE PLAY.
The Bells as will Be Presented by Clay
Clement Friday Evening at the Rhode.

1.-THE Bells" as Will Be Presented by Clay
Clement Friday Evening at the Rhode.
The Bells" as performed by Clay
Clement, is all adoption by Leopold
Lewis from one of the romans p0pat-
l0ires of the French authors. Erckmann,
Chotrain, the scene being laid in AL
SAGE on Christmas eve., 1888. 1t is one
of the most picturesque and realistic
depictings of the inner workings of
conscience ever put on the stage, and
at the same time one of the most excit-
ing and intense dramas ever written.
The story centers around the charac
ter of Matthias, an inn-keeper, who to
save himself from ruin, and his family
from starvation, murders Polish Jew
who seeks shelter at his hostelry during
a storm. Fifteen years afterwards he
witnesses a mesmeric performance.
This preys upon the mind of Matthias,
now the wealthy burgomaster, who is
haunted by the sound of the sleigh
bells which the Jews horses had car
ried. For security he marries his
daughter to ayoung gendarme, through
whose sagacity alone he fears discov-
cry of his crime. Afraid that by talk
ing in his dreams he may betray him
self, Matthias, on the night of his
daughters wedding, sleeps in lonely
room.
He dreams. In this dream he is
brought before judge and all the fear
fulness of the court of crime. He defies
the Judge, for nothing can be proven
against him. A hYpnotist is sum-
moned, and in sleep. brought on in
spite of himself by mesmerism, Mat
thias is made to re-enact all the terri
BILE details of his crime. This is the
grand climax of the play.
Quaint Alsatian characters lend re-
lief and picturesque color to the five
scenes which convey the story.

THAT ELECTRIC ROAD.
The Old Much Discussed Project, Not the
New One


A. w. Bishop and Matthew Slush,
, with w. w. Hazard, A. r. Cook, Ed.
, Wienhenson, Geo. j. Hoffman, Nathan
j. Dry foos and Nj. E. Brown of Cleve-
fland, Ohio, have been in Racine a
number of days perfecting arrange
ments for the construction of the line
of electric railway between Racine and
Milwaukee. The plans were perfected
Monaay and the gentlemen returned
to Gle Gland. For convenience new
company was formed to carry out the
plans of the old company The cor
porate name of the new organization is:
Milwaukee, Racine q Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway Company" and its princi-
ral offices are to be located in Racine
|. Thomas Kearney, the company's at
'torney says: I" You may say to the
public that the road between Racine
and South Milwaukee will be complet-
ed this fall. Messrs. Slush and Bishop
will have charge of the work. The
engineering force begin work today.
The construction work will be entered
upon next week. This will furnish
employment to a large number of men
and teams. The work will be COM
pleted on or before Nov. 10 next. The
road will be Of modern construction
throughout and will be the finest long
distance electric railway in this coun-
try. The cars will be as fine as a
modern steam railway passenger coach
which they will closely resemble.
Power viii be furnished from the
power house of Racine for the power to
South Milwaukee. Cars will run to
the city hall at Milwaukee without
change, plans having been perfected
with the Milwaukee lines to that effect
The line to Kenosha will not be
constructed at present. AS soon as
reasonable arrangements can be
made With the city of Kenosha this
portion Of the line will be built.
The project to build a road of some
kind along the lake shore was first
agitated in 1898 and 1894. Chicago
parties were interested and surveys
were made and everything appeared
to be ripe for it when one OF the parties
died and it was dropped. Then Mr.
Slush came here on visit and was
interested and now after many months
of hard and difficult work has accom-
plished at least part Of his object.
If, after the completion of the line to
Racine, our city officials see fit to grant
a franchise, it can then easily be done,
but we are now in a position of being
able to try it on the dog" and our
people will watch the result of con-
struction and operation with great
deal Of interest.

WHY COAL rs HIGH.
A Milwaukee Dealer Attempts an Expla-
nation.

4 At the present time coal is about
$150 per ton dearer than it was in
August of last year although the cost
of mining is no larger than it was at
that time while the rates are somewhat
lower. Fl. M. Benjamin, one of Mil
Yankees leading coal dealers said yes
terday in relation to the coal market
and the apparently strange advance.
" Anthracite coal is now sold by nearly
all the yards in the city at $500 ton.
This is about $3.50 in advance of the
price which prevailed year ago. The
reason why the coal is selling for more
money now is that it costs the retail
dealer that much more, f. o. b. at Mil
waukee. The price Of coal is deter
mined in the East and not here. 1t is
quite natural that coal should be
higher than it was last year. At that
time the market was slaughtered, coal
was sold below the cost of mining and
transportation. Few of the coal oper-
ators got their money back last season
and | am informed on reliable authori-
ty, that the Lehigh Valley company
incurred deficit Of $1.500,000 on its
coal business. As to a pool or COM
bine in the East, do not know of any.
Neither is there a Retail Dealers asso
citation in this city. There was one
some ten or fifteen years ago but that
has passed out of existence. Ifthere
were one, the present discrepancies in
prices would not be met. Some dealers
are selling as low as $3.50, which is
possible where stock was taken before
prices advanced. | have no informa-
ton to the effect that further advance
is contemplated. The last raise was
made a month ago when so cents was
added to the price per ton. Lake
rates are low, because there is no coal
to haul, and will advance as soon as
more coal is shipped Sentinel.

William Burbank, of Stockbridge,
drowned in the Fond du Lac river.
He was member of an excursion
party and fell into the water in an en-
deaVor to jump from the steamer into
small boat.
A large stone fell upon Ollie Proud
locks hand while he was working on
dam at Chippewa Falls. Amputation
may be necessary.
Mrs. Charles Anderson was chloro-
formed in her house at Marinette by
two robbers, who secured about $25
in cash and escaped.
Andrew Tierney was attacked by a
bull dog at Chippewa Falls and had
his right hip severely laceratod.
Conductor Brazier of the Wisconsin
Central road made discovery that
will undoubtedly prove to be a murder.
His freight train ran over man lying
across the Central track about one
mile south of Boyd, and when the mu-
tilated body was picked up by the
trainmen it was found to be stiff and
cold. 1t had evidently been placed
there with a purpose. The cOroner's
inquest at Boyd failed to throw any
light on the matter. The body was
that of John Schmuble, comparative
ly well-to- do resident of Boyd. Late
Sunday night he was seen with two
companions and they visited number
of places in the town before midnight.
Schmuble had considerable money, but
it was found when a search of his
clothes was made. No trace has since
been found Of his companions, but an
effort will be made TO find them. The
body was so badly mangled that it is
impossible to discover whether
Schmuble received previous wounds or
not
The third and last pulpwood raft OF
the season from Canada to the Long
Tail Point docks of the Pulpwood Sup
ply company at Appleton has pass
ed the Straits of Mackinac and is ex-
pected at the docks within q day or
two, where it will be broken up and
the wood shipped by rail to the mills
of the Fox River valley. Like its
predecessors, the raft contains about
5000 cords. These three RATS of the
season, together with two wintered in
the boom at Long Tail Point, make
the total amount Of wood handled by
the Pulpword Supply company this
season only about 10000 cords, which
is much less than usual, owing to the
large stock left over i'll the mill yards
last season by reason Of the long period
of low water.

One Man Describes this Seasons Monster
Send Him to the Kelley Cure.
People who go in bathing should be
careful not to step on the sea serpent
which has again made its appearance
in the newspaper and Lake Michigan.
Here is the latest account of the
monster.
g 1t was on the oath of last month,
that /, in company of James Mccoy
and John McAllister wandering along
the lake beach, that we saw rising
from out the water at distance of
one mile, more or less, from the shore
line, a dark creature with saucer like
eyes and horrid cleaning rows Of teeth
an l scaly body of green. 1t reared its
head fully ten feet out of the agitated
water, which it whipped into a white
foam. For fully five minutes, as nearly
as am enabled to measure the time
elapsing, it sported itself, and then as
suddenly disappeared or rather sank
back into the waters Of Lake Michi-
gan.
" We saw it a second time shortly
afterward, appear off of the lIuff to the
north of us, and then it disappeared
altogether, but we could follow its
course plainly by the long rows of
small white waves which it left in its
trail 1t was at the time making for
Milwaukee,
" A family living in small! shanty on
the lake beach can testify to these
facts, as can also the parties with me
at the time.
81 should judge the length of the
creature to be about 125 feet, certain
ly not less. This IS very important
from scientific point of view and is
also news par excellence. Was 1t sea
serpent or one Of the tabled sea horses?
| think so. Yours, etc,
