SCOFIELD THE MAN.
The Senatorial Contest Will Be Very
Exciting.


Milwaukee, Wis, June 10 The Re-
publican State convention for the nom
inaton of candidates for State offices,
from Governor down to Insurance
Commissioner, will take place in this
city on August II. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the Republican
state central committee held at noon,
and attended by all the members, ex-
cept G. A. Lamoreaux, of Ashland, and
l. q. Wing, of Bayfield,. Several of the
members advocated short campaign,
and, consequently late convention. in
view of the war and other public
questions, which would take the inter
est out of politics, but majority of the
committeeman concluded that August
II was late enough.
A La Toilette resolution, aimed at
the question of proxies, was defeated at
the meeting by vote of Is to 3. The
resolution sought to abolish all proxies
at the coming convention, and called
for the insertion of such clause in the
call Chairman E. D. Coe and Secre-
tary John M. Ewing will serve until
the day of the convention, at which the
newly elected state central committee
will choose the new chairman and
secretary.
The meeting of the committee
brought many politicians to Milwaukee
and politics was the topic of lively dis
cussions. The confidants of La Toilette
denied the report that their idol had
decided to become a candidate for
Governor, while a majority of the
members seemed convinced that the
denomination of Governor Scofeld was
a certainty. The Senatorial contest
promises to be the most exciting feat
ure of the coming campaign. The
candidates looked upon as actually in
the field are j. V. Quarles, of this city,
who throughout the controversy be-
tween the two leading factions of the
party in the state has occupied a
neutral position and given offerse to
neither side, and former Congressman
Isaac Stephenson, of Marinette, who is
one of the wealthiest men IN the state,
and who will make a determined strike
for the position, which, it is under
stood, is much coveted by him. Ex-
Congressman S. A. Cook, of Neenah,
is mentioned in the list, and it is said
that Congressman Alexander Stewart,
of Wausau, has also Senatorial aspira-
tions. Senator j. 81. Stout, of Menom-
onie, Wis, is another possibility, hav-
ing made himself known throughout
the state by his philanthropy and pub
lie spiritedness. 1t is denied that
former Senator Sawyer, the Oshkosh
octogenerian, would like to be returned
to the United States Senate.

are now confined in MORO Castle. 1t
is thought that after sinking his ship
Hobson and his men got in their boat
but were unable to pull against the
strong flood then running and were
carried right up to the enemy.
That night we took position in semi
circle as before and about 1890 the
ships to the eastward began to open
fire, and soon we went to quarters and
fired 9 8-inch guns at dark object on
the shore. There was a torpedo boat
somewhere around.
In the morning, Saturday, the Porter
picked two torpedoes that had evident
~ been fired and had missed. Some
believe that the torpedo boat was sunk
but we do not know.
On Saturday afternoon the ships
closed in, the four battleships as 1000
yards in the center of the semi circle,
to observe if the Spanish were at work
at the wreck. If they were we had
orders to open fire. Should the batter
les open fire the ships on the TANKS and
the battle ships we're to attempt to de-
strOy them. We were at out guns from
4 to $50 p. N. and although we were
quite close in, we saw no one near the
wreck, although men were at work on
the batteries, no fire was opened. So
our feet fired no shot except an acct
dental discharge from the Texas. In
the evening we saw the enemy's tOrpe
do boat in the entrance again. Firing
was heard in the afternoon towards the
eastward and we think the insurgents
opened fire on some Spanish gunbOats
supposed to be in the harbor near
mining camp there.
Today, Sunday, June 9Th, the Adj
miral had all the commanding officers
aboard and held long consultation
and our captain returned with the good
news that tomorrow at a. m. we will
go in on attack rations. Write soon.
Love to all. Dave

A MUSICAL HEART.
Strange Freak of Nature Visits Kenosha-
His Wonderful Heart.

@AS~SDA~S"
His Wonderful Heart.
The reporter of the EVENING NEWS
had the strange experience this morn
ing of seeing the man who has the
strangest, if not the largest heart in
the world. The man is Joseph Mil
kowski, or, as he is known in English,
Edward Lewis. His home was in Po-
land, but several years ago he was
exiled to Siberia by the Russian gov
eminent, where the terrible hardships
and privations which he encountered
caused him to be affected in very
strange manner. He came to Kenosha
this morning and is making tour over
the United States. He is not a mu-
scum freak but is gentleman of
refined and gentlemanly habits. He
has appeared before all the great
medical colleges and clinics il Chicago,
and all the doctors say that his heart
is the most peculiar human organiza-
ton which ever came under their inves
tigation. The throbbing pulsations of
the heart can be plainly heard and at
each action it sends out wheeling,
whirling sound very similar to the
notes of dove or a Lark. The heart
was carefully examined by local phv
sicians who declare that Lewis has The
largest heart in the world, it measuring
eleven by nine inches. Lewis now
enjoys perfect health and seems to
experience no inconvenience from this
abnormal organ.

CLAIM A CONSPIRACY.
Chicago and Kenosha Junk Dealers Have
a Peculiar Mixup.


Junk dealers in Racine, Kenosha
and Chicago have gotten into pecu
liar mi2up and from present indica
tons it will take long legal fight to
untangle the net that has been woven
Some time ago an attachment of $3.50
was gotten out in Chicago against four
horses and two wagons owned by
MONTE Gratski, junk dealer who has
been doing business in this city for
about two years. These papers were
gotten out by Capel & Company, and
a short time later similar attachment
was filed in this city against Gratski,
only this time it was filed by Revken &
Company of Racine. Not owing any
money the KenOsha man did not under
stand the papers, and on making an
investigation his attorney, Col. Herman
Jacobson, claims that he has discOY-
cred a barefaced conspiracy to beat
Gratski out of $245. The attorney
alleges that Capel and Rerken are a
pair of precious rascals. and that they
we're excellently assisted in their work
by Karl Swartz, man who was form
erly employed by Gratski. According
to the story Swartz claimed that he
and Gratski were partners and
on this claim he managed to
secure money and merchandise
to the amount of $245. When later
Swartz refused to pay they came back
on Gratski. The attorneys now claim
that Swartz never received either
money or merchandise and that the
whole scheme was simply ruse to
secure money from Gratski.

MAN ONCE HAD A G|ZZARD
SUCH is THE LATEST CONCLUSION
OF SCIENCE.
The Troublesome Ncrmiform Appen-
dix Believed to be the documentary
Remnant of That Organ.

\ distinguished paleontologist now
claims to have discovered facts show
ing that the vermiform appendix, thai
mysteriously useless organ that has
annoyed the human family so much
of late years, is no more nor less than
the rudimentary remnant of the giz
card with which he believes the mon
strous progenitors of man of the ter
tiary period of the earth's existence
were supplies.
Some of these gigantic creatures
lizards in form, birds i'm kind. ami
mails i'm some functions, are believed
to have developed by the gradual sta.
ges described by the supporters of the
theory of evolution into the semblance
of human being. If the bird form
be the original of the human race II
is reasonable to believe that it may
have been supplied with a gizzard.
which in the bird of modern times
possesses a definite and important
function in the digestion of the food
The bird having no teeth i in many
cases swallowed whole. Some birds
can crush the food with their beaks,
but normally the digestion is permit
ted largely through the agency of the
gizzard, where the food is ground in
to fine particles. The interior coat
ing of this organ is rough and mus
cular.
Many birds swallow, as far as the
gizzard, small pebbles that aid the
process of attrition. Thus if the lat
est theory be correct a curious para
doX is presented. Whereas in the be-
ginning, as now, the gizzard perform
ed its functions most satisfactorily
when supplied with undigestible sub
stances, its rudiment that now re-
mains in the human structure becomes
a center of dangerous conditions as
soon as any foreign substance and es-
pecially any hard matter, is deposited
in it. One of the marvels of anatomy
for some years has been this strange
sac in the upper intestines, apparent,
~ without the least function in the
digestive system and capable of being
removed without affecting the health
of the patient save to favorable de.
gree. Researches have revealed many
traces of such rudiments in the hu.
man system.
Darwin's studies brought to light
many resemblances between man and
the lower orders. 1t may now be that
the despised vermiform appendix will
be exploited as the real missing link
binding man to the past ages, when
life assumed many forms that are to-
day unknown.
