TO LEAD MISSOURI TROOPS.
Statement That Gen. Cole, the st. Louis
Veteran, VIII he Named BriSadier
General of the Volunteers.

WASHINGTON. May Col. Nelson
Cole, of st. Louis, will, in all proba-
bility. be the commander of Missouri
troops His appointment as brigadier
general is thought to have been prac-
tically decided upon by the president.
Congressman Pearce and Joy, of st.
Louis. called upon Maj Gen. Schofield,
the military adviser of the president,
and asked what he would think of Sc
lection of Col. Cole as brigadier gen
eral. Gen. Schofield said that, in his
opinion, no better appointment
could be made. Col Cole. he
said, was with him from the
battle of Wilson's creek to the
end of the war, acting as his chief
of artillery. No better soldier for the
command of a brigade could. he said,
be found in the United States. He
was not only a colonel on Gen. Scho-
fields staff during the late war, but
after the war was over he remained in
the regular army and took brigade
out to protect the Union Pacific rail
road from the Indians. He accom-
plished his mission most successfully
and then he resigned

The women of to-day are not as strong as
their grandmothers. They are bearing a
burden in silence that grows heavier day by
day; that is sapping their vitality and cloud

Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of All Michigan

day. A wife with such ambition as only
loving wife can have. But the joys of her
life were marred by the existence of disease.

An Old Fashioned Sleigh Ride

On Friday evening about fifteen of
Viroqua's best looking bachelors, &C
companied by lady friends, were very
pleasantly entertained at the home of
Isaac N. Groves, six miles northwest of
this city, where church sociable was
advertised for the benefit of the Spring
vile Methodist church. For the pur-
pose of once more enjoying an old
fashioned sleigh ride, the gentlemen
selected bob sleigh, and, in order to
have room for the entire party, substi-
tuted hay rack in place Of the ordinary
every day box so commonly used on
such occasions Nice and warm robes
were supplied, and while the party Gid
ed over the frozen snow, the chilling
blasts without in no way inconvenienced
those pesLling snugly together in the
luxury OF their warm and cozy furs
Like the harmony waited from the sweet
tones Of marriage bells, the boys were
wrapped up in thoughts Of future bliss
when out Of single blessedness, and
were thrilled with true appreciation
of their very pleasant surroundings
until they turned the corner near Mr..
Groves place, when there was "spill,"
and the sleigh ''that was built in such a
wonderful way" was relieved of its
burden. No one was hurt, however. and
after recovering all articles but lady's
rubber, the party were soon sitting in
proper equilibrium before nice warm
oyster supper. A pleasant time was
had, the receipts were large, and all re-
turned home safely, and without flaw
to mar their pleasant outing.

The County Candidate.

The following squib is from an ex
change. There is nothing personal
about this for such performance could
not occur in Vernon county: "When
the sap begins to rise and the geese be-
gin to mate, we hear the gentle carol of
the country candidate. O, he's jolly
fellow and is full of vain conceits, and
sees bosom fIiend in every man he
meets. He asks about your family
your horses and your hogs, and shows a
friendly interest in the children and the
dogs. O, he's jovial gentleman as
gamesome as lamb, as blithsome as q
meadow lark, as happy as clam. His
prospects are the brightest and his
chances they are sure, he spends his
money freely, and helps the needy
poor He goes to church on Sunday
and his pious trails appear, but when it's
necessary he will then set up the beer
o, he's boyant, sanguine duck, the
jocund candidate, he starts out early in
the morn and stays until it's late, his
patient wife unlccks the door and saws
with look of pain: "You needn't lie

chasing draft and driving horses.
To the Teachers of Vernon County.
Agents are canvassing the county
selling "Spofford's Library of Choice
Literature" These books are all right
for those who can afford to buy them,
but if any agent tries to convey the i'm
preston that the county superintendent
wants or expects the teachers to buy
them, it is false, and as vicious as it is
false No letters recommending the
purchase of these books have been sent
by me These letters were sent ont
from Chicago, on letter heads printed
by the agents or publishers and appeared
to come from this Office. The teachers
of this county are at liberty to buy or
not to buy any book whatever. All
that the county superintendent asks is
that the teachers are faithful, painstak-
ing and conscientious in their school
work. If any agent of any concern
tries to intimidate you in any way, order
him out of The school house. Caution
should always nc exercised in dealing
with strangers. Sincerely yours,
