would guess. Standing on one corner
for few minutes Tuesday forenoon
as the Memorial day parade returned
from the cemetery, ia wheelmen and
wheelwomen passed us. This is doubt
less small proportion of all that were
out On that day or spinning around
other corners. From 7:45 until S:15
o'clock last evening, a period of thirty
minutes, just exactly 127 wheels
crossed the wagon bridge between the
twin cities. These are positively bike
towns, a splendid place for live

Henry Sampson and Geo. B. McMil-
Ian were in Waupaca the fore part of
this week as committee representing
the Twin City Business Mems associa-
ton to make an investigation of the
potato starch factory in that city.
The advisability of putting in such a
factory here with local capital, or en-
couraging outside parties to establish
here has been under consideration for
some time by the B. NJ A. 4 meet
ing Of the association will doubtless
be called in the near future to hear
the report of this committee and to
arrive at some definite conclusion con-
corning the starch factory enterprise.
From what we have been able to learn
it is probable that the potato crop in
this section is just about one-sixth
large enough to maintain the contem-
plated plant.

Prof Culver of Stevens Point Nor

evening here last Saturday. Supt
Geo. 2. Hambrecht and P. L. PeaSe
however, entertained an interested
audience in the laboratory of the high
school building with few sets of
kodak pictures thrown upon the
canvas by an acetylene magic lantern
The pictures were taken by local
amateurs and the slides were made by
Mr.. PeaSe. Following this exhibition,
Mr. Hambrecht gave a short talk eX-
planning the construction of the N-ray
machine and the sources from which
it derives its power. The audience
was then invited down to the office of

animation and tests with the N-ray
were conducted. The evening proved
instructive and pleasing to all who
were fortunate enough to be present.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE DREYFUS CASE.

Desperate attempts are being made by
the enemies of Dreyfus at the court-martial
at Rennes to convict him of treason. Were
it not for the seriousness of the cause at
hearing some of these attempts would be
viewed with amusement by all Europe.
Army officers and officials, intemporately
Jealous in their efforts to overthrow Drey-
fuS, are allowed by the peculiar methods
of the French court-martial to make stump
speeches, cast discriminating insinuations,
repeat secondhand and even fourth-hand
statements as testimony, and analyZe the
motives of the accused and those who
have shown themselves his friends. But
perhaps out of the mess a just verdict
may come.
The case abounds in sensational state
mentS, which to considerable degree
compensate the auditors for listening to
hours OF denunciation and pompous argu-
ment by witnesses. Through all this
Dreyfus sits. now immovable, now rising
to hurl the lie at his enemies. Many wit
nesses appeared before the court during
the past week.

A BOY LIEUTENANT.
Continued from first page.1

After the Union troops had gained partia'
possession of the fort the regiment was
detached from the defense of the rear line
and sent to the fort. They arrived few
minutes after its surrender.
A terrible explosion of the magazine OF
the fort occurred soon after its capture
By this explosion a number of the regi,
ment perished. When Gen. Terry capt
ured Wilmington the regiment was among
the first to enter the city. They followed
the rebel rear guard so closely that the
latter were unable to destroy a fine pom
toon bridge over the Northeast River, and
the bridge was saved for the Union army.
In the march to Goldsboro the regiment
took prominent part, and distinguished
itself by driving the rebel skirmishers
away from Cox's Bridge, thereby saving
the bridge for the army of Gen. Sherman,
and enabling him to at once obtain many
much needed supplies. In this skirmish,
March %, 1868, the Both U. S. C. L.
had their last man killed in battle.
While on the march to Raleigh the news
of Lees surrender was received, and the
troops went wild with delight. The sur
render of Gen. Joseph Z. Johnston and
his army soon followed At Raleigh all
the regiments Of the Colored Division were
reviewed by Gen. Sherman, who compli-
mented them highly on their excellent
drill and fine military appearance. A
few weeks of provost duty at Raleigh, and
the brigade were marched back to Colds
boro, where they were. placed in camp
about a mile outside of the city. In May
an order was issued assigning the COM
mand to the First Brigade, Third Division,
Tenth Corps.

WAR CLOUD N THE TRANsvAAL.


The situation in the Transvaal is re-
garded in official circles of Europe as grow
ing more critical. Kruger is talking peace
| but buying arms and ammunition fast.
The reply of the Government Of the
South Africa Republic to the proposal OF
the British Secretary of State for the Colo
nies, Joseph Chamberlain. TO refer TO n
joint commission of inquiry the effect OF
the franchise reforms upon the status OF
the Uitlanders, has not yet been sent to
Sir Alfred Miner, British High Commits
sioner in South Africa. 1t is stated by
"the Transvaal Government will intimate
its willingness to grant a five-year simple
franchise, retrospective and unclogged by
restrictions, and that the representation OF
the goldfields will be extended to one
fourth of the Volksraad, thus exceeding
the fifth demanded by Sir Alfred Miner,
and rendering an inquiry into the present
franchise law unnecessary" UNLESS the
new laws are properly secured by effectual
guarantees" the correspondents say, they
may only be intended to grant the shadow
of reforms with the object of gaining time
and placing Great Britain at a disadvan-
tage.
The latest dispatches-Aug. .22--indi
cate that Kruger has sent temporlzing
reply involving new proposals, which; IN
the British eye. amounts to a refusal OF
Chamberlain's demands If Chamberlain
has his way, it is believed President Kru-
gers counter proposals viii meet with
scant attention, and unless the Beers COM
pletely back down. which is not likely, the
crisis will quickly develop into war.
