Mr.. LEES STATEMENT
Tells Straight Story Of His Relations
With Howes

The principals in the matter were seen
last night and the following statement was
obtained from Mr.. Lee:
"There is nothing about the affair that
care to hold back at all, though its publl'
cation has been most unfortunate. have
not rushed into print nor telephoned to my
friends, asking for sympathy, and have only
to tell the facts and let my friends Judge OF
the position have taken.
"Mr. and Mrs. Howes met us some four
or five months ago. That is, had known
them casually before that, but after meet.
ing at friends house, Mrs. Howes called
on Mrs. Lee and seemed to seek her almost
every day. She seemed always trying to
have Mrs. Lee out with her or at her house,
. and would often telephone: They invited
. us several times to 60 to the beaches with
them, which we did, and they would fre-
. quently come to our house and we would go
to theirs. Once Mrs. Howes invited us to
loge party at one of the theaters and we
accepted. Mr.. Howes and Mrs. Lee met
only on these occasions except when at en-
tcrtainments at the homes Of friends q
both, with three exceptions. Howes had
commenced to telephone often 10 my wife
and asked permission to call. She thought
he was a bore and refused to give him per-
mission to call, but he came on one occa-
sion, in spite of what she had said, and she
demonstrated with him and he went away.
The second and third times it was the same
way. Hc was told he was not welcome
Il, there at such times, and there was never
the slightest attempt at any familiarity or
anything of that sort. Mrs. Lee hought she
/, could stop him from these attentions with
out telling me of it, as she feared that this
would cause some controversy or trouble.
THE DUTCH DINNER EPISODE
"A week ago tonight we had few friends
1T our home, and during the evening some
Of them drifted into the dining room to get
drink of water. Mrs. Lee went with them
to see that they were served, and finally
they all came back, leaving Mrs. Lee at one
avs sway from @ them. M1s Howes % entered sa the ths
dining room Just. ahead Of another lady, and

AN ESTIMATE OF CHARACTER.
"On Sunday night Mrs. Howes telephoned
TO me at my house after had gone to bed
that she would make Mrs. Lees name a
public thing in the streets.
There is nothing in the whole affair that
should give it tho publicity it has assumed,
because knew and was thoroughly satisfied
that outside of the attempts Of Mr. Howes
to force his attentions on Mrs. Lee there
had been no improprieties at all. l am
satisfied that his statements to Mrs. Howes
were magnified, and caused her to SOW the
story broadcast.
Il know that Mrs. Lee has always been a
woman of the highest character, devoted
wife and mother.
1T all resolves itself down to the attempts
OF man devoid of character or honor at
tempting to ingratiate himself with good
woman. The only mistake that Mrs. Lee
made was in not telling me of his actions
at once, but in this she thought she was
doing what was best"
Mr.. Lee spoke in a most dignificd and
calm manner throughout, though iu was
plain that he felt the situation most keenly
lie did not discuss his plans in regard to the
affair, nor indulge in any violent language,
confining himself throughout to the sen.
tences above quoted, though in converse.
ton after he finished the statement he ex.
pressed himself freely regarding his opinion

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. pa wild moi
OF Iowa and Tennessee soldiers, numbering
about fifty, entered dance hall on Kearney
street last night and proceeded to clean out
the place. They first charged on the bar
and in few minutes it was a complete
wreck. They next went up into the boxes
tore down curtains and hangings and every.
thing else which could be torn down, and
broke everything breakable that they could
lay their hands on, giving the excuse that
they had been charged too much for drinks
on the occasion of a former visit to the place
and wanted to get even.
They then visited several other resorts
along the line and wrecked every saloon they
entered. The police finally got the mob in
hand and ten of them were safely landed
in the California a-street station and charged
with being drunk. General Merriam was

A ThreSherS' Meeting.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting was
held at the opera house in this city,
composed of many of the threshers of
Dane, Dodge, Jefferson and Columbia
counties. The meeting was called
for the purpose Of forming an organ
ization composed of the threshers. Of
those counties for their mutual bene-
fit. Owing to the fact that there was
not as large an attendance as expected
an adjournment was taken until Mon
day, March II, 1898, when another
meeting will be held at the opera
house in this city and all threshers
are invited to be present. AS we
understand the object of the Organiza-
ton it is for several purposes, princi-
pal of which is a mutual insurance
company and the establishing of a
scale of uniform rates. For the past
few years the rates for threshing
have been cut to such an extent that
the business has been ruined and the
threshers are endeavoring to remedy
this evil. 1t is expected that there
will be large attendance at the next
meeting. Waterloo Democrat.

Candidates Must PuFAish Expenses.

Candidates for Office in Wisconsin
hereafter must file statement of their
expenses under the new law Of 1897
(Section 6, chapter 358.J
1t applies to all candidates for office
from the most modest tOWnshippCsition
to the United States sena6Orship. The
statement must be filed within 80
days after election with the officer
empowered by law to issue the certif-
cate of election, and duplicate with
the register of deeds. The statement
must be under oath and set forth in
detail all sums cOntri buted, or dis
bursed by the candidate, or by any
other person in his behalf, wholly or
in part, to secure the nomination CT
election; the dates must be cited, to-
gether with the names of the persons
to whom the money is given and the
object.
The law created good deal of fun
when first operated in other states,
and perjury has been frequent in fail
ure to live up to its provisions. How
ever, the recent loss of Office by some
Ohio candidates, successful at the
polls, but derelict under a similar law
as the above. shows the possibility Of

Collector BIumeufeId's Job.

The following anent Internal Rev
enue Collector Blumenfeld's term of
Office appeared in Sundays Sentinel
under it's Washington news head:
''AlthOugh the term of Collector M.
Blumenfeld, of the internal revenue
office, expired last fall, no movement
has been started to bring about
change and the indications are that
Mr.. Blumenfeld will retain the place
for at least another year. This action
is said to be based upon the expressed
desire Of some of the leading Republi-
can politicians in the district, who say
that special recognition should be CIV
en- Mr.. Blumenfeld for his excellent
work in opposition to the free silver
heresy during the last campaign.
There is no reason for changing the
prediction already made that Editor
James Monaghan, of Darlington, will
secure the place when the time for a
change comes. There is an active
contest going on over the deputyship
in this office. Assemblyman A. L.
UT, Of Platteville, who was here re-
Gently, is said to be aspiring for the
place. 1t is said that the appointment
of DIR. Cross, of Stoughton, TO the po-
sltiOn has been agreed upon"

State Trademark Bill.

A dispatch to The Sentinel from
Washington states that the committee
on patents has ordered a favorable
report on the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Sauerhering for state trade
marks.
The report says the bill will have
two important uses. granting to the
state the right to protect their citizens
against fraud in interstate trade and
also to protect them in trade with.
foreign nations. 1t proposes that con-
troll of state trademarks shall be
vested in the legislatures and may be.
used on goods manufactured or pro-
duced in each state. 1t is intended to
prevent fraudulent branding of goods
with intent to deceive.
The bill, says the report, ''has re-
ceived the support of the dairy indus
try Of Wisconsin, New York, Connec-
ticut and other states, also the endorse
ment of the pure food congress which
recently had its sessions here. While it
affords protection to the dairy industry
it will be beneficial to the fruit growers

protection to all honest manufactures
against fraud which is destroying their
markets here and abroad" The bill
has been carefully considered by the
committee on patents, and Mr.. Sauer-
herring is confident that the house
will pass it as soon as the members
become informed as to the merits Of
the measure.

CaSweii- Rogers.

The Universalist church, yesterday
morning, was the scene of a ceremony
of unusual interest to Fort Atkinson
people-the marriage of Miss Anna A
Rogers to Hon. L. B. Caswell, Of
this city. The marriage rite was per-
formed by Rev. Samuel j. Rogers, of
Minneapolis, a cousin of Miss Rogers.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
the late Barton F. Rogers, who won
distinction in the civil war in the 10Th
Illinois Volunteers, on account of his
unceasing good work and frequent
personal sacrifices for the members of
his regiment, acquiring, thereby, the
title of 1.-The working chaplain. y
Mrs. Caswell is herself highly accom-
plished, very we'll informed, an artist
of no small talent, and with her many
excellent traits Of character, is fully
capable of making a charming home
for the husband Of her choice.
The groom needs no introduction to
the people of this city or the state.
His distinguished services during the
fourteen years that he represented
this district in Congress, have made
his name familiar to all Since retir-
ing from political life he has built up
a fine law practice.
Immediately after the ceremony, at
10 o'clock, a wedding breakfast was
served at the home of the bride, after
which Mr.. and Mrs. Caswel drove to
the depot and took the south-bound
train for Chicago, They will go di-
rectly to New York and spend several
months in the East and South. Fort

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptab bic for the urine
and as such it is not liable to any form
Of disease except by one Of the two
ways. The first way is from imperfect
action of the kidneys. The second
way is from careless local treatment of
other diseases.
3CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unh ealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder
or urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, Is soon realized. If
you need a remedy you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
