The Republican caucus takes place
in this city next Saturday evening
and it is useless to remind our readers
that all interested voters should be
on hand. 1t was thought at one
time that there would be a scramble
for delegates whose interests would
be at variance with each other, but as
the political situation, with the true
aims of the candidates for Office be-
comes more apparent the less reason
there seems for this.

The desperate straits In which
many OF the papers in this state are
placed, is exemplified in their efforts
to make political capital out OF the
fact that "The State" La Toilette
organ, is being distributed quite free
Iy among the people. If the people
were ignorant and without the
power to think for themselves, such
cheap talk might have effect, but for
tunately they are not. The people
have not forgotten the thousands OF
tuns OF printed matter distributed
among them two years ago by all
the political parties. Is there any
thing wrong for the people to read the
state issues from Mr.. LaFollet's point
of view? Certainly not. 1t will be
noticed that nearly all the articles
printed in ''The State" are signed by
responsible men. 1t would be
far better for the organs of all politi-
cal faiths to defend their respective
parties with argument rather than
criticise State" for the mere fact
that it exists and is being circulated

A. T. CHURCHILL, Editor TIMES.
DEAR SIR;-As your
paper, the TIMES of last week,
was kind enough, unsolicited to
refute the ignominious article
contained in the Ellsworth Clean
err, concerning my candidacy for
State Treasurer, | wish to express
my thanks for same, and assure
you that my motives are not such
as charged in the "Gleaner.
[ have been considering the pro-
priety of becoming a candidate on
the state ticket ever since last
fall; at which time, | knew not
whether Maj. Scofeld or some 9th
er gentleman would be candidate
for Governor.
| now declare that had [ a vote
in the State Convention, regard
less of how it might effect my
candidacy; it would be for the re-
nomination of Scofield for Cover
nor, as ] am satisfied the opposi-
ton to him, certainly emunates
from no other source than that of
soreheaded politician, and not
from an actual Reformer. Again
thanking you | remain
Very respectfully yours,
j. B. JENsoN.

While a party of berry -pickers
were securing the woods between
Plum City and Pepin, one of the
number, a mother. nursed her
babe and placed it in buggy to

afterwards, she was Mortified to
find that her little one had been
devoured by animals. The child's

Perhaps Kindled by a Spy,

Cincinnati, June 21.-The finishing de-
partment of the King Powder company,
located at Kings Mills, In Warren coun-
ty, has been destroyed in a manner
leading to the belief that it was the
work of enemies of the government.
The building, in which was stored
quantity of smokeless powder, was evil
IDENTIFY fired by two men, one of whom
was badly burned and apparently had
been dragged away from the burning
building by his companion. who then
ran away in the direction of South Leb-
anon.
Smokeless powder in the condition II
was in in this department does not ex-
plode like ordinary powder, with a
flash, but breaks into bright light and
burns for some time. The great light
attracted citizens, and some of these
met a stranger going toward South
Lebanon. The injured man was taken
into custody. He is apparently a for
eigner, but he is so badly injured that
he can scarcely talk.
