Madison, Wis, March 21.-L Special. j
An important decision of particular inter-

of exemption or wages of nOn-residents.
The plaintiff, II. kasska, i retail mer-
chant of Baraboo, garnisheed the wages
of John Carey, an employee of the Chicago

titled to his exemptions under the laws
of this state. Troan q Shuttleworth at

the statute makes no discrimination be-
tween temporary and permanent residence
and that its privileges are not confined to
residents. The court held that it would
be entirely inconsistent with the benet-

with the dignity of a sovereign state TO
say that temporary sojOurner or even

titled TO its protection, and that there

S. 4. HARPER DEAD.
SuccunbS TO an Attack Of Pneu-
mOnia-Had Been Active
in Politics.

Madison, Wis, March 21.--Samuei A.
Harper, who had been i'll with pneumonia
the past two weeks, died Saturday. Lit
tie hope had been entertained of his re-
covery for several days Mr. Harper was
one Of the best known of the younger law
yers and politicians of the state. He had
taken an active interest in politics ever
since he became of voting age, and since
1894 he had been president of the State
League of Republican clubs. He had
been at all times identified with the in
terests of his former law partner, ex-
Congressman r. NJ. La Toilette, and had
been one of the most active managers of
his campaigns. He had been tireless
worker. not allowing his political labors,
however, to seriously interfere with his
law practice, and OverWOrk may be said
to have caused his death, as it was dur
ing night of labor at his office that he
contracted the cold which resulted fatally.
Mr.. Harper was about 40 years of age
and had never married. He was Il Fir-
ginian by birth, but before the war his
family came West and settled in Hazel
Green, Grant county. His father was q
farmer, and his early life was spent on
the farm, where he built up Il constltu-
ton which had hitherto withstood his tire
less energy. He attended the state uni
yersity and graduated from the law school
CAAAS LIZ
academic course For few years he
taught school at Waukon, Ia. Then he
entered the law firm of La Toilette, Sic
becker & Harper. Soon after the election
of Mr.. Siebecker to the circuit bench the
firm became La Toilette, Harper, Roe u
Zimmerman, and continued so until 1894
since which time Mr. Harper had prac-
ticed law with his brother, j. G. Harper
He was appointed United States district
attorney by President Harrison in 1889,
and made a good record in that office. He
was president of the Dane County Tele-
phone company and stakeholder in the
Standard company, manufacturers OF tel
ephOnes. His eldest brother, Charles l..
Harper, is assistant superintendent of
public instructions; another brother, &. A.
Harper, is well-knoWn local physician
formerly a department clerk in Washing
ton, who was injured in the capitol dis
aster few years ago. Another brother
J. c. Harper. is his law partner. There
are four sisters--Mrs. Bates of Iowa,
one married and living in Pennsylvania,
and two living at home. Mr.. Harper
made his home with his widowed mother
the father having died since the family
moved TO Madison III the early sos.

Success in Other Lines than Command

One day in the spring of 1875, when
tie Daily Graphic of New York was in

modest-lOoking young man called at the
art department of the paper, at it's Park
The drawings were left for inspection,
and the artist, handing his address in
Brooklyn to the assistant Of the art ed.
itor, took his departure. The availability
of the work was manifest as soon as the
package was opened, and a comic series
from the lot was reproduced at once for
the front page. Their appearance made
quite a hutter in the cockloft of the art
staff, for talent capable of furnishing
good comics in pen and ink in those days
was a scarce and costly article. The page;
was signed IS, and that was all the staff
knew about 1t until there was general
showing about of work desks to make
room ''for Mr.. Sigsbee." But Mr. Sigs-.
bee did not materialize, nor did the supply
of his wonderfully funny drawings con-
tinue.
1t became known that the art editor.
had duly notified Mr.. Sigsbee that his.
sketches were accepted and that he would
be given a place upon the art staff at
once. Would Mr.. Sigsbee please be on.

week rolled by and there was no Mr..
Sigsbee. The art editor was unspeakablyI
astonished. He then wrote still more

to say that as he is at present in COM

Bulwer on the Hueuenots.

"Looking over a volume of Bulwer the

Casket, Il met the following in a foot
lote to his play Of 'Richelieu.' 1t is IN
teresting as a Protestant contra diction OF
the statement so often made that the
Huguenots were victims of religious per-
secution. There was, indeed, a large
ness of view in his hostility to the French
Huguenots, which must be carefully dis
tinguished from the intolerance of the
mere priest. He opposed them not as a
Catholic, but as statesman. The
Huguenots were strong Republicans ard
had formed plans for dividing France
into PROVINCIAL commonw ealths; and the
existence of Rochelle was absolutely in
compatible with the existence of the
French monarchy. 1t was a second capt.
tai, held by the Huguenots, claiming in
dependent authority and the right to
treat with foreign powers. Richelieu's
final conquest was marked by a human
ity that had in it nothing of the bigot.
The Huguenots obtained complete am
nesty, and had only to regret the loss of
privileges and Notifications which could
not have existed with any security to the
rest of France"

Amid the discomforts of life and
the fullness thereof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so easily
mitigate or entirely cure, the wonder
is why we endure and suffer so much.
From big pains to little aches, which
are the wear and tear Of the physical
structure Of man, there are always rem
edies good, better and best. The choice
should be always for best as the surest
and the cheapest. In chronic or acute
suffering with rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica Or lumbago, Or with the minor
ailments of sprains and bruises, or of
soreness and stiffness, the efficacy of St.
Jacobs Oil and the fullness thereof in SO
many complete and perfect cures make
it stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should we stand On the Or
der Of going for it, and not go at once?
In numberless cases the aggravations
Of discomforts and pains are from de-
lay. Why should we suffer?

Smallpox Has Vanished.

The last weekly report of the United
States Marine Hospital Service records
the encouraging fact Of only one case of
smallpox in the Northern states, and as
this is credited TO last November it is
reasonable to infer that this section has
been entirely free from this disease dur
ing the whole winter. This says the
Philadelphia Press, is a most reassuring
situation considering the extent to which
this disease has prevailed in past win
ters in large Northern cities The con-
clusion is jutifed that medical and sani-
tary science in this neighborhood has OBJ
tanned such control over the conditions
which produce this disease that it has
been nearly wiped out. The South has
been less fortunate. There are now re-
ported to be SAB cases Of smallpox in the
Southern states. The climate there is
more favorable to the disease, but the
main causes Of its spread are doubtless
the neglect of vaccination and the back
wardness of sanitary science. The South
should catch up in these matters and
then it will have less to fear from cpl

KIPLlNG'S "DERELICT."
The Wreck of the Veendam Recalls the
Poets Impressive Verses.

The wreck of the Veendam brings to
mind Kipling's poem. 1.-The Derelict," in
which he represents impressively the
abandoned hulks, adrift in the seas as the
''bawds of all disaster" Some of the
POEMS verses follow:
Man made me, and my will
Is to my maker still,
Whom now the currents con, the rollers
steer
Lifting-forlOrn to spy
Trailed smoke along the sky;
Failing-afraid, lest any keel come near!
Blind is the hot blue ring,
Through all my points l swing
Swing, and return to shift the sun anew.
Blind i'll my we'll known sky,
| hear the stars go by,
Mocking the PROV that cannot hold one true!
I that was clean to run
My race against the sun,
Strength on the deep, am bawd to all disaS-
ter
Whipped forth by night to meet
My sisters careless feet,
And with a kiss betray her TO her master!
