Lastly, isn't The interest taken by
Crafts and Dawson in Mr.. Babeock's

After all, here is the gist of the

What business have these outsiders

Crafts and Dawson impertinently to

Cheap Farm Lands.

Lying in North-central Wisconsin
in the counties of Portage, Marathon,
Jackson, Eau Claire, Longlade, Forest,
Lincoln. Clark, Wood, Price and lay
lor are hundreds of acres of the choic-
est farm lands especially adapted to
general farming, dairying and stock
raising.
Among the advantages are deep,
rich soil, unsurpassed water privi-
leges with no drouths, unequaled
market facilities, fine roads, numer-
Gus schools and churches and re-
markedly healthful climate.
The price ranges from $500 to
$500 per acre, on the very best terms.
All the land is good, none billy, stony

depends on the location, the sur

fl Tribute to B dbCook's f1bilitu,

Dubuque Times A reporter for
this paper called upon Col. Henderson
Tuesday morning to ask him about
the outlook for the election of repub-
iicans and sound money democrats in
the next congress. He gave it as his
opinion that there was no doubt that
the next congress would be strongly
in favor of legislation for sound
money, and that the republicans
would have control of the house.
Il am strengthened in that belief, ,
he said, from the fact that Hon. j.
w Babcock, who represents the dis
trict across the river from us in Wis
consin, is chairman of the National
Republican Congressional Committee.
As Dubuquers know, Mr.. Babcock
many years ago lived in this city
where he was one of the most indus
trious of our laboring men. working
with his own hands, a toiler among
the toilers. BY virtue of his industry
and remarkable intellectual strength
he very soon acquired properties in
Wisconsin which have enabled him to
reach very reasonably degree Of
wealth. He has been now several
years in congress and chairman of one
Of the hardest working committees in
that body, namely, the District Of
Columbia That committee has been
presided over during my term of con-
gress by Mr.. Hemphill of South Caro-
lima, man of remarkable ability, by
Hon. John L. Heard OF Missouri, a
leader in his state, by Gen. w. w.
Grout of Vermont, a distinguished
soldier and orator, and for the last
two congresses by Mr.. Babcock. Dur
ing all that time he has secured the
passage of more bills in the interest of
the District Of Columbia which are in
the interest of the United States, than
any man that has been chairman of
that committee. He has developed
wonderful power as debater and his
wise conservative methods have won
constantly upon the confidence Of the
| house and enable him to secure legis-
| lation when other men would have
failed With him at the head of the
congressional committee | have great
hopes of success His high character,
his great industry, his wisdom and
his knowledge of the common people
as well as OF the great business inter
eSts Of the country certainly qualify
him not only for congressional life
but for the management Of this great
committee. l can therefore entertain
no doubts about the result of the cam.
paien.

chine with money!
This question has been puzzling
the straight Republicans for some
tine. and when it is properly answered
the people OF Wisconsin will be treated
to a great sensation. There is story
in circulation, which finds belief
among men whose word and judgment
can usually be relied on, that Candi-
date La Toilette and his followers
have entered into deal with typi
cal representative Of the so-called cor
rupt system which they CLAIM TO be
fighting and seeking to reform, and
man known principally by his money,
and who has been seized by the
ambition Of succeeding Senator John
l.. Mitchell in the United States SEN
ate. That man, SO the story goes,
has contributed $5,000-others say
$40, 0o0-to the La Toilette campaign
fund, with the understanding that if
the statehouse and legislature are
captured by the La Toilette machine
be shall be chosen United States Sen
ator in January. 1899. This story,
which, il true, would unmask all the
hypocrisy Of the reformers who are
flocking into the La Toilette camp, is
being thorougIy investigated, and the
moneyed man in question will be
called on to give straight answer.
1t is a well known fact that Mr..
La Toilette is conducting a complete
bureau at Madison. Nine stenogra-
pliers are kept at work, and they are
assisted by certain clerks employed
by the State, acting as spies, and a
corps OF volunteers, who attend to

RANK IN THE NAVY.
Officers on Our Men-of-War
Are Distinguished.

While the insignia of rank in the
army are generally known, there is
much less familiarity with the CORE
spending badges in the navy. a sec
ond lieutenant in the army and an en-
sign in the navy wear a strap without
a bar. One bar indicates a first lieu
tenant in the army and a junior lieu
tenant in the navy; two bars, a captain
in the army and a lieutenant in the
navy; a gold leaf, major and lieuten-
ant commander; Il silver leaf, lieuten-
ant colonel and commander; a.silver
eagle, colonel and captain; a silver
star, brigadier general and cOmmo-
dore; two silver stars, major general
and rear admiral. The grades above
this do not now exist, but their in
sigma are as follows: Lieutenant gen
eraI and vice admiral, three silver
stars; general and admiral, four sill
yer stars. These highest ranks have
not figured in the greater part of our
history. The grade of real admiral
was created in 1862. that of vice adj
miral in 1864 and that of admiral in
1866. This rank was created for Far
ragut. and Porter was made vice ad-
miral at the same time. On the death
of Farragut Porter was made admiral,
and when the latter died in 1891 both
grades became extinct. Since then
rear admiral has been the highest
rank. Gen. Grant was the only gen
eral' in the strict sense that we have
ever had, and the only lieutenant gen
erals were Washington. Scott ~(brevet).

The elephants, whose drab velvet

to be teased. but their keeper, who had
walked beside the baby elephant to
the river, carrying in his arms the
great milk bottle from which she took
her dinner, warned Paddy not to hit
the baby, as the mother elephant.

Paddy foolishly kept on, and soon 6

back, and let Nine. Beatrice punish as
she would.
She dipped the struggling. bowling
Paddy many times into the water, then
taking him to where the baby stood
