relied upon to do the wrong thing at
the right time, or the right thing at the

being apparently a thing certain to be
expected OF the Executive. In the ap-

however, the Governor has broken all

particularly from the Bar and citizens

A Pretty Girl Assis ant to Photo
grapher the Cause of the Trouble.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, September 22.-
Hugh Thompson's photograph gallery
was the scene of duel with swords to-
day. A handsome young woman was
hired by Thompson as his assistant.
Later a man in state of great excite
ment entered the gallery. He said his
name was Mcguire and that he was
the husband of the girl.
Exactly how the fight started is un-
certain, but hanging on the wall were
two sabres. and in a moment Thomp-
son and Mcguire were engaged in dead
ly conflict The girl called for help
and as Arthur Richard, furniture
man, rushed into the gallery, he saw
Thompson on the floor covered with
blood and Mcguire apparently about to
run the sword in Thompson's chest.
Richard pulled Mcguire off and the lat
ter fed. No arrests have been made.
Thompson's injuries may prove fatal.

THE OLD HOME HAJ-NTS

There's sound that rings in my ears to-
That echoes in vague refrain.
The ripple OF water DER smooth-washed
Where the wall-eyed pike and the black
bass play,
That makes me yearn in quiet way.
For my old tiyrod again.
- Back to the old home haunts again.
Back where the clear lake lies;
Back through the woods
Where the b.ackbrd broods
Back to my rod and flies
I'm longing to paddle the boat to-day.
Through water-logged grass and reeds:
Where the musk-rat swins and the cat
tails sway:
Where the air is cool. and the mist is gray:
Where ripples dance in the same old way
Under the tangled weeds
Back on the old oak log again.
Back by the crystal brook;
Back TO the bait.
And the silent wait.
Back to my line and hook.
I wish l could wade by the waters edge,
Where the fallen leaves drift by:
Just to see in the shadow of the ledge
How dark forms glide. ike woodlands
wedge.
Through driftwood piles and the coarse
And to hear the bittern cry.
Bach where TIE tdupOleS Snllt ana SINK,
Back where the bull-frogs sob;
Back just 10 float
In the ieaky boat.
Back to my dripping bob
oh. its Just like this on each misty day.
Its always the same old pain
That struggles and pulls in the same old
way
To carry me of for little stay
BY the waters edge. in sticky clay,
To fish IN the falling rain.
Back 10 my long black rubber boots,
Back 10 my old patched coat.
Back to my rod
And the breath of God
Home and my ieaky boat.

ships entitle the holder to instruction

five originally offered.

a GIGANTIC coMB1NATIoN

We have had many notable ex
amples of immense combinations during
the past year, but none of these aggre
cations have the public Importance Of
the railway amalgamation to be
brought about by the Vanderbilt-Roclke-
Teller alliance The Vanderbilt system
at present extends over $4,000 miles, or
about one-eighth of the total mileage
of the country, and embracing more
miles of track than the total railway
mileage of any other country on
earth with the exception Of Germany,
which has 29,422 miles. But with the
Rockefeller interests united to the Van
derbilt lines, the total mileage will be
increased to $4,000 miles at one jump,
covering every portion of the country,
and with allied interests the road
brought within control of this combina-
ton will amount to $4,000 miles, or
about one-fourth of the total mileage Of
the United States, representing one
thousand millions of capital. This
means a>yirtual control of the transpor-
tation facilities of the country, and by
al odds the biggest trust in the whole
bunch of monopolies. 1t means the die
tation of freight rates, the crushing of
rivals, and determinations against
which no possible effort will prevail.
The trust iniquity is growing. The
people will have to meet the issue.

If the 1ransvaal comes out of the
threatened war with England with a
jolly good beating it will be largely due
to the failure of Dom Paul to strike
sharply and quickly, while he had the
pest of the situation. That the des-
patch of English troops to South Africa
COZ .tuted a causus belli there can be
no doubt, and the Transvaal had moth
ing to gain by waiting until England
got her forces into shape. With thirty
thousand burghers behind him, Pre-
sident Kruger might have overwhelm-
ed the nine or ten thousand British
troops in the Colony and adjacent ter
ritory. In another week or two he

salutations, asked after the new baby's
health. The lady who was quite deaf and
suffering with the grip, thought he was
asking about her cold, and told him that
she usually had one every winter, but this
was the worst one she ever had: it kept
her awake at night and confined her 10
her bed. Then, noticing that the scribe
was getting quite pale and nervous, she
said that she could tell by his looks that
he was going to have one just like hers.
and asked him to go in and sit down. The
paper was out as usual the next week, but
