UnWise Campaigning.

A few of the country newspapers
are flashing themselves into frenzy
over the coming election Of United
States senator Much Incorporate
Language is INDUCED in, and insinua-
tlons made not consistent with the
life and character Of the gentleman
sought to defeat The Kilbourn Mir
Tor-Gazette says that "Mr. Quarles
would represent the corporations
aud trusts" "Mr. Quarles is getting a
lot Of interested support and a heap
of hollering in the wo ds;;' "Mr.
Quarles would represent Milwaukee
and not the state of Wisconsin,.
In the first place no gentleman has
ever continued as corporation law
yer after election TO the Uuited States
senate; and, secondly, are not the
friends of the opposing candidates
doing d good deal OF hollering in the
woods and very much Interested in
yheir first choice? As % matter Of
course 5hey are. As 90 the last non
sensical inslnuation, as we'll charge
John c. Spooner with only devOLing
his legislative time to represent Madi-
son as that Mr.. Qu5rles would only
represent Milwaukee. Such silly
twaddle is unworthy of d place in
Republican newspapers. Mr.. Bah
cock may be all Tue Mirror-Gazette
claims for him, but down this way
there is a very strong preference for
Joseph V. Quarles, not because he is
the only man fit to represent Wis
consin in the senate, but because he
IS personally known to a large num-
Der Of our people, and they have
confidence in him, and feel satisfied
there is no position of such lofty al
titude as to make him forget the in
terests of the Drawn and muscle Of
his Wisconsin constituents.

New Baggage Checks.

D. C. Carrick, general baggage
agent of the Milwaukee road, will in
troduce a new system of checking
baggage with pasteboard slips, which
are to take the place of the old brass
checks which have been in use many
years. The new checks show the
place from which the baggage is sent
and it's destination and date of check
age They will be IN duplicate, the
passenger getting one and the other
being put on the baggage. The i'm
provement in this system is that no
mistake can possibly be made as to
destination. The old brass checks
will be discarded on the La Crosse
division of the road beginning with the
first of the year. Milwaukee Sentinel.

The law requires that all candi-
dates for office shall make report of
their campaign expenses, and the fol-
lowing report Of a candidate seems to
lack nothing of any Importance to the
public, and probably can be relied
upon as meeting in some degree the
exact experiences of some of the in
Vulnerable thrOng who are almost dy-
ing to serve their state or county:
''Lost 4 months and % days. Lost
$3.50 hours sleep, thinking about the
election; % acres of corn; sheep; 5

IS Wisconsin constituents.

A MEAN, contemplate piece of bust
ness has cropped out in Dane county.
County Treasurer elect H. F. Wilke
was a few days later than the statu-
tory time allowed him for filing his
bond, and the bond committee Of
the board OF supervisors has declined
TO accept it. The delay was occa-
stoned by the county board having
increased the amount of the bond
after election, and consequently Mr.
Wilke was a little late in getting it re-
turned from an eastern security COM
pany. The board is Democratic, and
it undoubtedly means a Democrat
will be given the place.

NOTICE.

Notice is hereby given that from
and after January l, 1899, the interest
which will be paid on time certificates
of deposit by the undersigned banks
will be at the rate of two per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually, on
certificates drawn payable six months
from their date.
The reduction from three to two
per cent. was found necessary on ac-
count of the accumulation of idle
funds in the vaults of the banks with
small prospects of loaning at remun-
erative rates of interest.

To Revive American Merchant Marine

Aside from the proper solution OF
what to do with the Philippine is
lands, the revival of the American
mercantile marine is likely to be the
most engrossing question to engage
the attention of the next congress.
There is little room to doubt the wis
dom of congress in passing such en-
abling acts as will assist American
seamen to handle all the imports and
exports coming to and going from our
shores. The United States is now
nation of more than 100000 of
people, large majority of whom de-
pend on their daily toll for subslst
ence. How to make these people con-
tented and happy will tax the best
thought of our representatives in the
national legislature. Now in the face
of our boasted ingenuity and enter
prise the foreign commerce conducted
by our shipping has dwindled from
80 per cent. in 1916 and sc per cent.
in 1850 to IL per cent. in 1897.
Other nations have taken advantage
of our stupidity or parsimony and
reaped the benefit of this really dis
astrous decline of our shipping in
terests.
The following table, prepared by
the Hon. George F. Edmunds, of Yer
mont, will give our readers a COM
amount of American tonnage:

RATHER TOO SMART.
A Transaction In Which the Mean
Man Was BADLY Beaten.

Man Was Badly Beaten.
There was an auction sale in the little
house, and one after another the widows
few possessions fell beneath the hammer.
Presently the auctiOneer took up large
bowl which happened to be full of sugar,
and the poor woman, anxious to save its
contents, FASTENED into the next room to
find something in which to put it.
Just as She returned the auctioneer
cried, sold" and the purchaser insisted
that the sugar was his. The widow
pleaded for the little that was much to
her, but the man was obdurate, and mur-
murs of indignation arose from the
crowd. Angry at this demonstration, the
man turned, and his eye rested on Mr..
Wise.
"Mr. WISE" said he, "you are lawyer.
Am right or not? II you say am not.

am, am entitled to it, and I'll keep it."

Then said Wise, II advise you that

'Stop" Numbered Wise, whose manner

you that | charge IL Is. for my advice,

The man turned scarlet and, fumbling
in his pocket, produced guinea, which

THE CASE OF
HILL VS. CHM.
The Anticipated Case From
Blackbird Hundred In
The Superior Court. :

The renowned case of Hill VS..
CHM came up in the Superior court
this morning. 1t is a case of re-
plevin. The facts as told by the
| witness is as follows:
Vincent o. Hill testified that DUR
ing the first part of the month Of
July, 1897 mare and colt belong
ing to him were impounded by CHM
for about twenty days.. The value
of the services of the mare was 81 a
day. He replevined the animals.
Il. Il. Cochran, Jr., in opening
for the defense stated that under
the statute CHM was entitled to
impound the mare and colt as they
were wandering at large. The fees
were 81 a head or Is cents day
for keep.
James CHM testified he impound-
ed the animals and according to
law served the required notice. He
was about to produce copy of the
notice when Thomas Davis object
ed. The defendant had not asked
for the original notice. Mr.. Coch-
ran then served forthwith notice
on Mr.. Davis and he stated he
could not produce the paper.
The court ruled that due notice
had not been given for the produce
ton of the notice of impounding.
Mr.. Cochran asked that. a Juror
be drawn and the case continued.
Mr.. Davis asked for a verdict for
the plaintiff
Judge Grub said this case was
complicated. The defense cannot
claim damages on account of not
having served the legal notice.
The counsel are now entitled to
address the jury. Counsel did not
address the jury.
Judge Grub in charging the jury
said the plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover for retention.
The jury retired for consultation
and in half an hour returned ver-
dict for the plaintiff in the sum of
3 cents. This is the fifth case that
has been in the court during the
past ten years.
A jury was drawn in the case of
William Craig vs.. Benjamin F.
CHM. Harry {. Brockson for plain
tiff and Martin Burris for the de-
fcndant. The case is one for the
recovery of damages for false ar
rest. Imprisonment and libel. The
allegations are that on March 10,
1898 Craig was arrested upon a
warrant sworn out by CHM before
Magistrate John w. Naudan Of
Townsend on the charge of obtain
ing $224.o2 from George M. Hart
under false prttenses. Craig was
detained in custody for three hours
and when taken before Magistrate
Naudain the defendant wilfully ne
elected to offer any testimony and
the plaintiff was then discharged.
Craig claims that his reputation
was in ured to the extent of $4,000.
The plaintiff was tenant on
Ginn's farm for three years. There
was an open account between the
parties during that time. When he
was about to remove from the farm
he claimed he owed CHM $50. CHM
discovered mistake and claimed
800. George M. Hart bought
Craig's one.third of the wheat and
corn. Craig received payment for :
his share. One month later Craig
was arrested. t

small that he had to fast three days be-
fore he could crawl through it. After he
had got inside and filled himself he was
too large to crawl back through the hole,
