STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Brief Points from Various Sections of the
Great Badger State.


A terrific explosion occurred at the
home of Joseph Waller at Frenchtown,
near Marinette, resulting in serious in
jury to Mr.. Waller, his three children
and another man. Mr.. Waller and q
man named Buott were making a horse
salve in their kitchen. One of its con-
stituents was gunpowder. This was to
be mixed with grease. The grease
was put on the stove to heat and on
the back of the stove they placed the
powder. The grease boiled over and
then caught fire and the blaze touched
the powder. There was just pound
of it and the explosion was terrific.
Mr.. Waller and his aid, Mr.. Buott,
we're terribly burned about the face
and hands. The kitchen was nearly
wrecked and the house set on fire.
None Of those hurt are in a dangerous
condition, although they are all pain
fully injured.
The -four and gristmill belonging to
Mayer & Eimarmanr, of Elkhart Lake,
burned with all its appurtenances, also
a new cider press, which was in an ad
joining building. The loss is estimated
to be $4,000 with only $4,000 insurance.
The safe of the Hartford Lumber
company was blown open, but nothing
was secured. Benjamin Turk had
placed all the money in the bank the
day before. The safe was badly
wrecked.
Aid. Meddell created something Of
sensation in the council at Sheboygan
by introducing a resolution for tie
suppression of all gambling devices in
the city, including slot machines.
VIM. Lloyd, of Randolph, who went
to Racine to attend the Eisteddlod,
blew out the gas at the Wagner house,
and only the prompt assistance Of a
physician saved his life.
There is a scarcity of water in the
wells at Edgerton.
The evidence before the coroner's
jury investigating the killing Of Farmer
John Helmes by Ferdinand Wagon
knecht at Grafton has brought out a
new story of the details of the shooting.
According to Mrs. Helmes and neigh
Dor, Helmes, after being shot, jumped
out of a window and walked to the
nearest house, where he announced
that he had been shot. He said that.
Wagenknecht, after having taken a
nap, pulled a bright object from his
pocket and said to him: Look at
this" When he was about to examine
it, Wagenknecht grabbed him by the
hair, twisted his head around and fired
through his temple. Since his confne-
ment in jail one of Wagenknecht's legs
has been amputated close to the knee
as result of erysipelas, which had
attacked the leg. Some years ago
Wagenknecht's feet were frozen and
they were both cut off, he having since
walked on stump and false foot.

Trick 5-East is frightened from the

Trick East still hopes to establish
the clubs for partner, with awful results.

AN GRAFTON FOR THE EoURru

For hundred and more years, fellow
citizens, my predecessors on these oc-
casions have tickled their audiences
with spread eagle eloquercP. They
have told them that this is the f.at-
est, freest, most ind eDendent, DOW .rfu1
and intelligent nation on the face Of
the earth: that every man in it is a
sovereign, the peer of any SOVEREIGN
on earth, free to do what he will that
is honest and legitimate, and to whom
all Vocations are open, assured Of
neither favoritism nor handicapping.
They have pointed in pity to the rffete
monarchies Of the old world and told
how we have opened wide our doors
to their oppressed peoples, assuring
them that Uncle Sam is rich enough
to give US all farm" Every man is
patriot. ready to fight for his coun-
try at the drop of the hat, and never
so happy as when showing and prov
ing his patriotism. In short, they have
all Dragged inordinately Of a peopla
who like to be Dragged over. Thus
sweets until our minds are morbid. We
need a sharp corrective, plain truth
telling, acids and tonics instead Of
sweetmeats, and purpose to admins
ter them On this occasion.
We are not the best governed nao,,a
in the world, but we are the most gov
erned. If you doubt it, just. wade
through the laws that get enacted at
every session of any state legislature
Read over the ordinances, dead and
ahve, Of any Of our cities. Listen to
our president telling the people to he
patient until a tariff act taxing them
lets them all go to work again. Listen
to Senator Aldrich Introducing hill
for that act, assuring the country +bo+
all business Is in a state of suspense
and will be until told how much If is
to be taxed. Go through our statu+as
and make note of how many laws there
are that tell or attempt to tell q Gift
zen what he cannot do. Note the fire.
quency of those that make some hon
est employment either impossible or
difficult because 1t completes with some
vocation that is stronger in legisla-
lures, congresses or councils than If ,s
Then listen to the profound signs Of
relief when congresses and legislatures
adjourn, and the nation and states are
assured OF breathing spell from in
reference with individual rights or
industrial activities. We are governed
to death, fellow citizens
Again we have been told that we
have government of the people for
the people and by the people We have
no such thing, and we all know 1t
down in our hearts. Why not say It
and set people to thinking about 1t, and
thus make such government possible?
Who governs New York? Tom Plat
Who governs Pennsylvania? Matt
Quay. Who governs any of our states
or cities. The three per cents who run
