Little Mack.

Little Mack.
(BY KCGESE FIELD.)
This talk about the journalists that run the
East is bosh.
We've got a Western editor that's little, but,
o gosh!
He lives herei in Mizzoora where the people are
SO set
In neutrality-suspicious. that they vote for Jack
son yet;
But the paper he is running makes the rusty
fossils swear
The smsrtest, likeliest paper that is printed
anywhere!
And, best of all, the paragraphs are pointed
as a tack,
And that's because they emanate
From little Mack.
In architecture he is what you'd call q chunky
man,
As if he'd been constructed on the summer
cottage plan;
He has a nose like Bonaparte; and round his
mobile mouth
Lies all the sensuous langour of the children of
the South;
HIS dealings with reporters who effect q weekly
bust
Have given to his violet eyes a shadow of dis
trust;
In glorious abandon his brown hair wanders
back
From the grand Websterian forehead
OfIittle Mack.
No matter what the item is, il there's an item
in it,
| You bet your | fe he's on to it and nips it in q
minute!
From multifarious nations, countries, mon
arches and lands,
From Africa's sunny fountains aud India's
coral strands,
From Greenlands's icy mountains aud Siloams'
shady riIls.
He gathers in his kilograms, and H"user pays
the bills;
What thoagh there be a dearth of news, he has
happy kuack
OF scraping up a lot of scoops,
Does little Mack.
And learning? Well he knows the folks of
every tcibe and age
That ever played a part npOn this fleeing hu-
man stage;
His intellectual systems so extensive and so
greedy
That, when it comes to records, he's a walkin
cyclOpedy;
For having studied land digested) all the books
a-gnin',
1t stands to reason he must know about all's
worth a-knOwin'!
So when q politician with a records on the
track,
We're apt to hear some history
From little Mack
And when a fellow-journaIist is broke and
needs a twenty,
Who's allus got a wallet that's as full OF sord.

As his heart is full of kindness and his head Is

Whose bowels of compassion will in-va-ri-a-bly

SURVEYORS AT WORK.
Making a Complete Survey Of the
Mississippi River from
the Gulf.

Trempealeau. Wis, June 12.-The par
ty of sixty United States surveyors who
were doing work In and about Trempea-
leau during the greater part of last week
have completed their labors here and gone
further up the river. ut appears that in
the summer of 1895 government survey
ing party was up here on the steamer
Search. and made the preliminary survey
for the work that is being done at the
present time, the chief work being the
establishment of permanent points OF rec
ord along the river banks that are be-
ing used in the present survey.
A complete typographical survey of the
river has been made between Brownsville
aud the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is expected
to complete this survey this year between
Brownsville and st. Paul.
The making OF this typographical sur
vey Of the Mississippi was begun in 1876,
but very little work was done before the
'SGs, and since then it has been prose
cuted irregularIy only as appropriations
have been available The work is under
the charge of the Mississippi river COM
mission This commission has in its
employ two survey boats, the Patrol and
Search. They are kept busy for the
most part in surveys for Improvements
on the river below Cairo and this topo-
graphical survey work is sandWiched in
when convenient 4 little of this topo-
graphical survey work has been done on
the Missouri and Ohio rivers. but not
much, as there have been but small sums
appropriated therefor.

MRS. RAMBUSCH LOSES.
Judge Bennett Renders a Decision
in the Attachment Case
at Juneau.

Juneau, Wis, June 10.-[Special.] j
Judge Bennett of the Jefferson county cir
cult court decided the attachment cases
of L. w. Spence of Fond du Lac VS.. Mrs.
w. T. Rambusch, as administrative of
the estate of the late w. 7. Rambusch,
in favor of the plaintiff.
The Dodge County Abstract, the prop
erty of Rambusch. was attached by Mrs.
Spence on October II last, just after
Rambusch left Juneau for the last time
Mrs Rambusch cOntended that the Alb
stract property, which is worth $4,000,
was exempt and not subject to attach
ment. The court decided that Ram
busch, at the time of the leyying of the
attachment was 4 fugitive from justice
and had no exemptions. The defense
maintained the position that there was no
proof that Rambusch intended to leave
the state permanently on the day of at
tachment. Under the count Mrs. Ram
busch produced the confidential letters
which her husband wrote to her during
the time that he was fleeing from justice
and Judge Bennett alone read them but
would not intimate what their contents
were, remarking that they were very
private"
Mrs Spence testified that she lost
about So, 900 with Rambusch. The case
was holly contested. Ex-District Attor-
ney Sloan appearing for the defendant
and Gen. Bragg for the plaintiff. Il will

Superstitious Miners.

Miners IN all parts of the world, wheth-
er they dig for coal or diamonds, are a
superstitieus class of people. Thus, in
Germany the mines are believed to be the
abiding places of queer little old men not
over feet high, who ape in dress the
ordinary miners. They vary in character;
some are good, some are bad. In Wales
the mines are haunted by goblin miners.
known as knockers. They make strange
noises, and the tapping of their picks can
be heard in ore bodies not yet reached
by the human workmen. The dreaded
Ladder Dwarf is a malignant hunchback
of frjghtful appearance, who kicks out
the rungs of ladders in mines just before
an accident occurs. Superstition extends
even TO the vegetables sometimes found
growing in mines, such growths having
talIsmanic virtues. Ia Sardinia an an

Southern Forests Disappearing.

In Georgia, Florida, Alabama and 9th
err Southern states the grand old forests
of pine are rapidly disappearing. The
destroyers seem to have no thought for
the future. They make no steps to re-
place that which they take away. The
influence Of forests upon rainfall, moisture
and seasons is pretty well understood.
The point has about been reached at
which it is necessary that something
should be done to put a stop to forest
destruction. If steps to that end are not
taken it will not be a great while be-
fore this section will suffer a succession
of drouths, floods and severe storms.
There should be some way of preserving
the forests for the general good. Our
people are selling their birthright for a
mess of pottage. 1t is well enough that
lands should be cleared up for settle
ment. but millions of acres of forest are
disappearing every year, and very little
is coming in to compensate for the loss
