great relic with as much propriety.
accompanying herewith is good like
ness of the historic building, taken by the
Press artist from photograph of the
structure as it stands to-day. AT the time
of it's erection, the building was the lead
ing structure in the then town and capital
Of Belmont, county of Lafayette, about
eighteen miles north Of the Illinois line
and five miles east of Platteville, Grant
County Since that time Old Belmont,
as it was later called, has disappeared
from view, leaving but farm house or
two, u railroad depot and the capitol build

as Leslie and will be found on any North
western Railroad map. There the old
structure stands, weather-beaten and
somewhat delapidated, as the picture
shows and as the reader might expect;
but the first capitol of Wisconsin just the
same.
1T stands on what was then known as
the Judge Dunn homestead, where it has
often been seen by the writer. 1t is two
stories in height, of simple design, and
made of native hardwoods. 1t is now, and
has been for many years, used as barn.

objects of curiosity in the Cream City"

IN HONOR OF GIBBON.
TESTIMONIAL TO A GALLANT
WISCONSIN SOLDIER.
To BE Erected by Mem bers of the Iron
Brigade Over the Grave of Their
COMMUNICATIVE to Remove Wis
consin's First Capitol.
Monument to General Gibbon.

monument TO general GfDbOns
Gen. L. S. Bragg. of Milwaukee, presi-
dent of the Iron Brigade organization,
has just had completed the design for the
monument which it is the intention of the
brigade to erect over the grave Of its old
commander Gen. John Gibbon.
The design is low, solid block of Wis
consin granite, four-sided, with a low cap
on the face Of which is to be a has relief
of Gen. Gibbon, and on the reverse the
iron Maltese cross of the brigade, with
the names of the five regiments which ut
different times constituted the brigade,
and Battery b, whose ''threshing ma
chimes" were always to be heard close at
hand whenever the brigade was engaged
with the enemy.
The regiments constituting the brigade
on it's organization were the Second Wis
consin, Sixth Wisconsin, Seventh Wiscon-
sin, Nineteenth Indiana, and, later, the
Twenty-fourth Michigan. These, with
Battery b. made up the organization,
which became famous for it's fighting
qualities in an army where such qualities
We're away above par.
1t was to Gen. Gibbon, with his stern,
regular army methods, that the brigade
was indebted for the development of its
fighting powers, and that is why the re-

New Japanese Stamp,

All persons interested in phlately
know that the Japanese Government
has lately issued four new postage
stamps. They are commemorative Of
the recent war with China, and bear
portraits Of Princes Arisugawa and
IIitashrakawa, who diod while it was
in progress.
10 Western collectors 1t may seem
strange that with only two portraits
there are four stamps. The probable
explanation Is that the postoffice de-
partment did not think it appropriate
to honor one prince above the other by
engraving his picture on a stamp of q
higher denomination. Hence there are
two two-sen stamps, one with Prince
Arisugawas portrait, the other with
that of Prince Kitashirakawa: and two
five-sen stamps similarly adorned.
Another difficulty has arisen from the
use Of these pictures. The reverence
with which the Japanese regard the I'M
perial family Is well known. Several
writer's In the newspapers have accused
the officials Of showing disrespect to
the dead princes. What an indignity It
is that their portraits should be pol
luted with saliva and blurred over with
post-marks. One man has given public
notice that he will receive no mail mat
ter that bears the new stamps. 1t Is
said that some postmasters have asked
permission to put on the marks of can
collation. in way that will not deface
the princely features.
Ii any extreme conservatives do so
far conquer their prejudices as to use
one Of the new stamps, they will doubt.

The estimated cost of the monument
is between $1,000 and $500, and it is ex-
pected that this sum will be raised in n
very short time after the plans are pre-
scented to the members of the brigade or
ganization. Gen. Gibbon is buried in Ar
lington Cemetery. near Washington, and
the monument will be erected there.
There are remaining about 100 members
of the famous organization. In addition
to these there are the sons and daugh-
ters of the old veterans who have been
made members Of the association, and it
is worthy Of note that. ready and anxious
as the old veterans are to honor their old
commander, the children are even more
eager to assist in the undertaking. Gen
Bragg will shortly prepare circular let
ter which will be sent to every member of
the brigade stating the intention of the
association, and soliciting subscriptions
for the monument.
The movement for this token was start
ed ut the st. Paul encampment. where
there were many Of the old Iron Brigade
members gathered together. 1t was there
proposed that the brigade should erect n
monument over Gen. Gibbons grave. The
proposition met with hearty response ut
the meeting of the association held at
Devils Lake, near Baraboo, later in Sep
TENDER. At that time the movement took
shape and committee to consist OF the
President, Secretary and Treasurer of
the association, together with one mem
Der from each of the organizations cnnsti
tutng the Iron Brigade, was provided
for Those members Gen. Bragg Will mp.
point as soon as his letter to the members
of the organization is ready. All sub
scriptions will be sent to Capt. Otto
Schorse, of Milwaukee, the treasurer Of
the association.
Gen. Bragg desires very much to have
the monument completed and pletkcl ready
for the unwilling ceremonies by next May.
This will depend in a measure on the way
in which subscriptions come in. The
monument itself is very simple. and can
be cut in short time after the order is
given. This makes it very probable that
the plans of the General may be carried
out at the time specified.

The Wire Nail Trust.

The farmers and builders of the coun-
try are rejoicing over the collapse Of
a trust or combination to stop the I'M
profitable production Of wire nails, and
to keep up the price of these now uni
versally used articles The rejoicing Is
not exactly at the misfortunes of an
other, but at the prospect Of getting a
cheaper article.
The trust had succeeded brilliantly
for time, and the profits in making
these nails were so high that the COM
bination had great difficulty in control
ling the trade. Indeed, 1t exceeded the
law in it's attempt to suppress compe-
tition, and the collapse of the trust was
the result Of restraining order from
court to prevent it from interfering
with mans business.
Here the courts have certainly work
ed, as undoubtedly they seek to do in
all instances, for the general good. And
1t may be said safely, too, that every
combination or trust which seeks to
maintain prices above a normal profit
carries In itself the certainty of future
downfall. The only monopolies which
have lasted many years in this country,
and bid fair to last indefinitely, are
those which sell their products at COM
petitive prices.
This, however does not alter the fact
that all manner Of great combinations,
trusts and consultations of business,
intended to bring about the control Of

the public. and their operations should
be jealousy restrained.-Y Youth Com

Black Bass for DISCRIMINATING Carp.

State of several insect pests by pit
ting one destructive insect against an

principle in her rivers. Some Of the
rivers are almost alive with carp, which
are a serious nuisance because of their
destructiveness to other fish. The State
Fish Commissioners have procured a
large number Of black bass of both the

poor, we have ever present with US.
You cannot plead exemption from
her demands on account of age or
color or previous condition of SER
vitude. Like the rain, she descends
upon the just and the unjust.
Like the deadly bacilli, she throngs
the streets, overfows the public vehi-

She comes down the chimney like
Santa Claus, if any other ingress is

You cannot fortify your camp SO
that she cannot effect an entrance.
If you sheathe yourself in a coat of

What does she want! The earth

TO rellRl01, Delng practlcal negatiOnS
of God, is difficult to see. And it has
been we'll said by one highly compe
tent to speak, "Mr Fiske's doctrine
excludes the belief in a so-called per-
sonal God, and the peculiar forms of
emotion dependent on it,"
The life not alone of religion, but
religion itself, is everywhere and al
ways determined by the presence of
volitional God, transcendent of
nature and natural law. What may
in some quarters be styled religion,
leaving out this element, is necessa-
rily misnamed. and proves itself SO
in due time by ending in failure.
There is scientific basis to religion,
true enough, but it fails not to dis
Germ the living and transcendent
God.
Professor Fiske, indeed. goes into
some rhapsodies over Jesus and
Paul, but does 30 by leaping the
chasm between his philosophy and
theirs, between which there is no
power to harmonic. Naturalism
builds no such lives, evokes no such
sacrifices, supplies no such stimulants
and reaches no such ends. Such are
the province of the Supernatural
alone.
Undoubtedly the coming age is
one of faith; not by help, but in spite
of this class of propagandists. Faith,
saving. heart sustaining faith, is not
from the conception of Deity who,
in one instance crystallizes in mind
and in another in granite bowlder,
and in either case is unresponsive to
warnings and prayers in life's dark
nights, above the reach of man. The
prayer and the answer are both sub
jective. The good realized from
praying is the reflex consciousness of
having prayed. There was nothing
at the other end.
And this is the impetus that shall
do the great thing for the church
and give the religious life of man the
wonderful uplift, and crowd the aisles
with worshipers, and the foreign
lands with missionaries, and overflow
the treasures! Indeed, "These be
thy Gods, o Israeli"
The coming age of faith bows be-
fore the living volit'onal God before
whom the Divine Nazarene bowed,
and as he bowed; the alwise, almigh-
ty parental kin of man, bound by no
conditions preventing timely express
sion of sympathy and aid, whose
heart is filled with longing for the dis
tressed humanity he is lifting towards
himself. In such faith there is not
only warmth but fire.
