REALISTIC PRACTICE.
Account of Recent Trial of Military
Maneuvers IN Austria.

The Austrian fortress maneuvers
of Przemysl in Galicia were of an
exceedingly realistic character, fully
charged field ammunition being EN-
ployed. The works of defense and
attack were commenced on Septem-
Der IL in the emperor's presence.
The work was pushed on during the
night, in spite of heavy rain, and
the besiegers successful repulsed
a sortie. Notwithstanding these
obstacles, the construction of bat
teries was completed early on the
18th, with the guns in position and
ready for opening fire. The assail-
ants then evacuated their works,
and the defense opened real fire on
the works erected. At noon the
signal to cease fire" was given, and
it was found that the fire of the de-
Tense had been very effective Dur
ing its progress, moreover, the ef-
fects were observed from balloon.
A further bombardment of the
works of the assailants in the pres
ence of the emperor was put stop
to by pouring rain.
The next day, Sunday, was a day
of rest, and on the l4th the en-
peror witnessed a bombardment by
the besiegers with live shell of
permanent fortification, in front Of
which were advanced batteries and
entertainments. After the signal
cease fire. was given, at noon an
inspection demonstrated the ter
rible effects of modern artillery on
Notifications. At night, as soon as
it was dark. the assailants proceed
ed to execute works of approach.
Several infantry engagements took
place, and various processes Of illu-
mination were experimental with.
Early next morning the works of
the besiegers were shelled by the
defense, who used both their posi-
tion guns and their field pieces. The
effects were then ascertained Dur
ing the following night operations
were continued on both sides, and in
the morning, the besiegers having
succeeded in destroying the adj
vanced works of the defense and
silencing the fire of the guns en-
lilading tue foreground Of the work
chosen for an assault, they exploded
the mines which they had laid, and
proceeded to storm the fertilization.
This terminated the maneuvers,
which were highly instructive, al
though Of course they were not an
accurate reproduction Of an actual
siege, in so far as the assailants did
not work under fire. Revue de

EDUCATORS MEET.
Twelve Hundred In Attendance AT
Milwaukee.
Regular Meeting OF The Wisconsin State Tea
cheers association Last Week--Prominsnt
Seh0olmen Present.

The iargest and in some respects
the most successful meeting ever held
by the Wisconsin State Teachers As
ISOLATION occurred in Milwaukee last
week. Not only profes sional teachers
but superintendent, members OF
school board, and citizens interested
in educational matters meet yearly at
these gatherings to consider in its
various phases the great question of
eduea ton.
There were present from Grant
county Supt. Nye and Miss Marjory
McCawley of Lancaster, Professors
Chalmers. McGregor. Churchill and
Wilgus and Miss Mullay of Platte
vile. Prin. Kopp Of Muscoda and per-
haps others.
Prof. Churchill of Platteyille had
charge of the music section, Miss Nc
Cawley acting as secretary.
Supt. Nye read an able paper on
Some G hanges Needed in the Law
Governing the Certitication of Teach
ers. This paper was discussed at
50 me length by superintendent and
others interested and provoked much
favorable criticism. An effort will
probably be made BY the associations
committee on legislation to have At
least part OF the suparintendent's rec
concentrations embodied in law at the
coming session of the legislature.
The chief points of his paper were
that the surplus Of teachers is caused
mainly by the low standard fixe for
third grade certificates; that two ex-
aminations in each year in each in
spection district is unnecessary, that
one tour of examinations iii the fall by
the superintendent and one or more
examinations held at the county seat
in the spring would give better re-
suits; that the standard of qnalifica-
tons for third grade certificates
should be raised; that school law
should be added to the requirements
for certificates of any grade; that six
successful experience should
be required for a second grade certif-
cate and one years experience for a
first grade certificate. that the mini
mum age for teachers should be fixed
at eighteen years.
He advocated the creation of a spec
ial certificate called primary certifi-
cate, requiring one years successful
in primary work and spec
ial qualifications, this new certificate
is to be issued for three years with
privilege of reissue without examina-
ton

Last Official Act OF Governor

Pardoned After Five and One Half Years In The
Penitentiarg At Waupun.

Penit6ntlarB At Maupun.
Another chapter has been added to
the famous Rose Zoldoski case that
attracted such wide and marked at
tention in 1891 and that has gained
rather than lost interest with the
fiight of time. Governor Upham, on
the last day of his term and as his
last official act as governor. granted
Rose Zoldoski a full and free pardon.
In 1888 Rose went to Richland Cen
tire and was employed as domestic in
ahe family of DR.. Mitchell. She
gain 4 the confidence of the doctor
and his wife and was soon regarded as
one of the family rather than as SER
want and while making her home
at Mitchelrs worked at dress making
and millinery.
in February 1890, child was born
TO Mrs. Mitchell and in March that
lady died quite unexpectedly, though
she had been seriously i'll for several
weeks. Miss Zoldoski continued to
reside at the DOCTORS after the death
of his wife and was in fact his house
keeper. She is said to have become
,enamored of him and to have desired
to become his wife. The doctor APP
peared to like her but also paid atten-
.tions to other young ladies, among
them Ella Maly.
On Jan. 8, 1891, Rose got up a
party at DR.. Mitchell's to which the
young people of her set were invited,
among them the Maly girls On the
way home Ella Maly was taken yio-
lently i'll, lay in commissions most Of
the night and died next morning. Sus-
picion fell upon Rose Zoldoski and
she was charged with having, because
OF Jealousy, administered strychnine

which she handed Ella at the close of
the party.
Rose was arrested pleaded not
guilty.. and owing TO the alleged pre-
iudice Of Richland county people was
tried in Grant County. The trial be-
gan June 2. 1891, and was followed
with marked interest. Public senti-
ment was divided, some were firmly
convinced Of her guilt, others were rs
positive of her innocence or that her
guilt was not proved by the evidence.

ing the death of w G. Park. her SIS
ter's husband, at Duluth, Mimi.
Martin Mcdonald left here immedi-
ately, closing his store. On his re-
turn home Tuesday he gave the HER
AID reporter the facts concerning the
death of his brother-in-law. The
wife of w G. Park, Duluth, is sister
of Mrs Mcdonald of Lancaster and
her name previous to marriage was
Julia Kiley and she resided in Lam
caster. Six years ago Julia Kiley was
united in marriage to W. G. Park at
Milwaukee where his parents reside
and they have a little daughter
years old-the only child Mrs. Park
came here occasionally to visit her
relatives and she and her husband
were here last summer. He will be
remembered as a large, portly gentle
man distinguished by an air of BUSH
ness Importance beyond the ordinary.
He was 30 years old.
For the past six or seven years w.
G. Park has been the Duluth agent of
the great Sugar Trust of the United
States. Last year he handled over a
half million dollars belonging to the
Trust. During the campaign he
made large bets on the election Of
Towne for congress and when Towne
was defeated Park was unable to re-
place the 81 900 he had taken from
the Sugar Trust fund.
On Thursday, Dec. 81, 1896, at 5

come to Duluth and see them and try |
to make some sort of settlement on

Park wrote a note to his wife say
ing he would be gone for few days
on business. Then he went with the
attorney to his Office rooms in the
chamber of commerce building, where
he said he wanted to get something.
Park fumbled around in his desk and
the attorney stood just outside the
open door waiting for him. Out of
the desk he took a revolver and walk
ing to the door he slammed it shut
in the face of the attorney; then came
the report of the revolver and when
Attorney Draper hastily opened the
door again Park lay dead upon the
floor with a bullet through his brain.
His life was insured for 400.
Short funeral services were held in
Duluth Saturday afternoon and the
body was brought to Milwaukee where
On Sunday afternoon at o'clock the

Mr.. Park was large hearted, whole
souled man and his liberality amount
I'd to prodigality. He had many
warm friends who will never believe
hat his intentions were to wrong his
employers when he appropriated
