PETER SCHAEFER. City Clerk

A farmer from Sank Prairie, Wis,
was at Baraboo the other day, and
while in town bought suit of clothes
and placed the bundle ON the seat be-
side him and started for home. 1t
was getting quite dark when he
reached the river bridge and the idea
struct him that it would be a great
surprise to discard his old clothes and
go home in a new suit. He pulled off
his old clothes and threw them into
the river, peice at time. When
he had on nothing but a shirt he
reached for the package but it was no
longer in the wagon. The night was
cold and he went home at a two-forty
gait. He surprised his family COM
pletely, and the next morning when
he went out and found the package
hanging TO the brake on his wagon he
was somewhat surprised himself.

the use in talking about that phase OF
the matter so long as the trusts and

The latest sensation in the Cuban BUS
mess is the alleged advice of the Unfit
entail Spanish newspaper, La Core
spondencia de Espana. to the Spanish
government to abandon Cuba and send
the men asked by Weyler not to Cuba
but to the PHILIPPINE Islands.
Itis held that the PHILIPPINES are more
valuable to Spain than Cuba, and that
since it will be impossible for Spain
to hold both, it is the part of wisdom
to concentrate her strength on the most
valuable.
There is much shrewdness and knoWI-
edge of the situation displayed in this
diagnosis of the situation. Spain is
bankrupt and must soon give up the
fight in one or the other of these pos
sessions. if not in both. That Weyler
has even already been notified to that
effect is not unlikely, and would ac-
count for the fact that he is steadily
moving his troops from inland TO the
coast cities.
Can it be that Spain has finally seen
the handwriting on the wall?

Between Pittsburg and Parkersburg.

4 New Packet TO he Entered Into the Trade
Retween P,ttsburG and ParkersburG'
Another packet will enter the Pitts
burg and Parkerbsurs trade. Capt Mack
gamble of Marietta, yesterday purchased
the steamer Cummings, owned in Nash
vile and after changing her name to the
Cruiser will put her into comp' iAon
with the Ben Hur. She will make two
trips each way twice a week, leaving Far
kersburg every Monday and Thursday.
Since the withdrawal of the Argand from
the Pittsburg and Parkersburg trade, and
her entrance into the Wheeling and Par
kersburg trade exclusively. the Ben Hur
has had things pretty much her own way
but will now be given a hustle for a di-
vision of the big trade between these OBJ
fective points. The continuance Of a good
stage OF water has doomed business along
the Ohio. and has caused a sharp compete
ton between the various packets. At the
present all the steamers are doing a good
business and are prospering.
