A NARROW ESCAPE.
Life Saving Crew Rescue Two Boys who
Capsized Boat On Pike River.

Two venturesOme boys named Willie
Meyer and Robert Steinbach had a
very exciting adventure in Pike river
about o'clock Tuesday evening which
had it not been for some quick work on
the part of Capt. Cameron and the life
saving crew would have resulted in
both of them being drowned
The boys had a small scow which
they had fitted up with sails, and they
started out to make a round of the
harbor and river with it. They had
gone up the river a short distance when
the scow capsized and the two boys
were thrown into the water. AS
neither of them could swim they were
in very perilous state. One of the
boys, young Steinbach, managed to get
hold of boat which was anchored in
the channel and in this manner he was
able to keep his head above the water.
Meyer hung on to the old scow, which
as soon as it capsized at once filed
with water and was rapidly sinking.
In this predicament the boys were seen
by two of their companions, Ernst
Bendt and Mat Vert. The boys ran
to the life saving station and told the
crew that the two boys we're in the
water and that neither of them could
swim. The crew went out at once and
reached the boys just in time to save
them from drowning. Both of the
boys were drenched to the skin and it
is feared that on account of the cold
weather the accident may yet result
seriously. The boys have been warned
by Capt. Cameron many times that
they should not attempt to go out with
this old scow and the parents of the
boys will be glad to know that the old
vessel went down and is now stuck fast
in the mud in the bottom of the river.

DEATH OF MRS. MCCLELLAN.
Mother of Griffin Mcclellan Died Very
Suddenly Tuesday Evening.

Mrs. Jemina Mcclellan, mother OF
Griffin Mcclellan, and the widow of
the late DR.. Samuel Mcclellan, died
very suddenly about 7:30 o'clock Tues
day evening at her home on Prairie
avenue. The announcement of her
death came as great shock to her
friends, to many of whom it was not
known that she was seriously i'll.
While Mrs. Mcclellan had been an
invalid for some time, she has been in
paratively good health during the
past few weeks. On last Sunday
evening she was taken sick with a
severe nervous headache. Her condi-
tion grew worse until Tuesday morning
when an attack of lockjaw set in which
resulted in her death last evening. She
suffered intense pain during the after
noon and evening, but when the final
hour came she passed peacefully to rest
in the arms of her son who had been
constantly at her bedside during the
day. The funeral will be held from
st. Matthew's church on Friday after
noon and the remains will be laid to
rest at the side of her husband in the
city cemetery.
Mrs. JENNA Sleight Mcclellan was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G..
Sleight, and she was born in New York
state April IA, 184l. She was So years
of age. About twelve years ago, with
her husband, she came to this city to
live and shortly after the family had
removed here the doctor died from
consumption. Since that time she has
lived with her son Griffin, and between
them there existed a love different
from that usually existing between
mother and son. For years they have
lived wholly for each other and the
death of the mother will cause a sorrow
to the son which even time cannot heal.
The only son who survives has the
heartfelt sympathy of all his friends
and acquaintance.
As a woman Mrs. Nc Clellan was
warm hearted and sympathetic, and
was great favorite among the young
people who ever found hearty well
come in her home. Her kindly interest
in the welfare of her friends made her
universally beloved, and her death will
cause personal grief in many hearts.
Three sisters and two brothers sur
vive her. They are E. G.. Sleight, of
Minneapolis, Mimi, Henry Sleight, of
Terre Haute, Ind, Mrs. John Wells, of
New York, Mrs. E. R. Meade, of Chi
cago and Mrs. Ida Clapp, of Fargo,
North Dakota.

The Tagal Cause crumbling.

Peace is coming in Luzon through
the operation of more forces than
appear on the surface. In the first
place the handspring of the rebellion is
broken. Aguinaldo organized his fol-
lowers, military and civil, to seize the
sovereignty of the islands and subject
ali to Tagal domination. He counted
on treaty complications, on division in
American opinion, on copperhead aid
and comfort, on secret European help,
on the fact that our army was chiefly
composed of volunteers, and on the
numerical superiority of his troops.
All these expectations have been swept
away. The sovereignty of the Philip
pines is vested in this country by every
right known in international law. We
have fought for the group, negotiated
for it, and paid for it. If the Tagals
have ordinary intelligence they must
know that the sovereignty is settled
and will be protected, at any cost, by
one of the most powerful nations in the
world. Regulars are streaming ia to
replace the volunteers, aud, if neees-
sary, hundred thousand men would
be ferried across the Pacific to vindicate
the dignity and treaty obligations of
the United States.
What the Tagals organized to fight
for is clearly beyond their possible
reach. They might temporarily drive
back our forces without affecting the
final issue in the least. Americans rise
TO the occasion. The vital point,
therefore, is what the Tagals want
short of sovereignty. They can un-
doubtedly obtain, in common with all
other Filipino races and tribes, as
much home rule as they can sustain on
orderly, civilized lines. Their contin-
ued resort to arms to drive Americans
from Luzon is an absurdity that even
the bow and-arrOW men ought to COM
prehend. The mercenary and the
brigand element in the Tagal army
may fight OF, but the mass of the peo-
pie want peace, and the Tagal soldiers
drawn from civil life are doubtless
anxious to return to it. Aguinaldo has
nothing left but the remnants Of lost
cause, and the end of the war, as a
formidable matter, must be near.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

OUR old friend Gomez is baking
again. He says that he will not con-
sent that the insurgents surrender their
arms on the payment OF the $4,000, 900.
It would again appear that Gomez's
great and Wanted influence with the
Cubans is more or less of fiction. The
influence seems to be on the other side.
Gomez has expressed his willingness to
receive the $3,000,O00 on the part of
the Cubans as a free will offering and a
very mod est ambition on his part to be
left in control of his present army of
Cubans organized and under arms
Giving Gomez credit for the best of
motives, probably it comes little hard
for him to see his army disbanded and
Cheir arms surrendered. But if he is
man of so good Judgment as he is
generally reputed to be, he must see at
once the utter absurdity of his propO-
sitiOn, and moreover must be able, if
he SO desires, to make that clear to his
followers. While the responsibility of
the reconstruction of Cuba is in the
hands of Americans, and while there is
no definitely organized civil govern
ment it would be the greatest of alb
surdities to allow an army of Cubans
under arms.

TODAY the German editors from
many of the leading cities, at the
meeting of the press association, enter
ed a protest against fake" news. The
immediate cause of the action by the
German editors is the numerous garbled
and highly colored reports recently
published relative to the fatherland.
Not only does the righteous indignation
of our German American citizens caused
by the falsity of these highly sensa-
tional reports justify their protests,
but they find further justification in
the duty of the American newspaper
to it's readers and the clamorous
demand for suppression of the
yellow journal. Unfortunately the
peace of the world is not at present
established on any too firm basis.
While such events as have character
lied the past few years and especially
'98 '99 are in progress, it requires but a
little to turn the balance on the side OF
war. In this regard the yellow press
possesses an enormous power for mis-
chief. The Maine disaster presents an
instance. Had not the best papers OF
the country FASTENED to the rescue with
stupendous effort to sustain the status
quo, the yellow journal would have
precipitated war, without preparation
and reckless of results This move by
the German American editors, which
is virtually step toward the suppress
sion of an unQuestioned evil, will,
therefore, meet with the hearty en-
dorsement of real journalism and the
intelligent reading public.

ARRANGEMENTS for the collection

ARRANGEMENTS for the collection
and distribution of the Dewey home
fund are progressing rapidly. A
national committee has been appointed
with United States Treasurer Roberts
as treasurer. A formal address to the
public will be issued soon. The
Milwaukee Sentinel has already put
itself in readiness to receive and de-
liver subscriptions. Wisconsin will no
doubt hasten to contribute her quota to
this splendid tribute of the American
people to the wisdom, heroism and
patriotism of Admiral George Dewey.
Only let the contribution of the Badger
State in this matter be proportional
so her dignity as State, her loyalty,
and her contribution to the army of
volunteers who answered the country s
call year ago, and she will surely
stand where she belongs, in the very
front rank.

GEORGE MAGILL ON TRIAL.
Former Resident of Kenosha Stands Ac'
cused of Bank Wrecking in Chicago.

George L. Magill, we'll known in this
city, was placed on trial yesterday in
Judge Burke's court, in Chicago, to
answer to the charge of assisting in
wrecking the Avenue National bank in
1896.
According to the charges against
Magill it is alleged that he received
a large number of deposits after the
bank had closed its doors, and further
more that he had drawn large amounts
from the bank which were not due to
him. The trial will be continued for
several days, and from the evidence
being produced it seems that the state
is making a strong case against the
former Kenosha man.
Assistant States Attorney Olson dis
covered by cross examination that
previous to the failure Magilps father
and fathar-i law, O. D. Wetherell,
had drawn out all the money they had
on deposit, and that E. G. Underwood,
his cousin, had greatly overdrawn his
account. MagilPs account was shown
to have been overdrawn several months
before the failure, and the amount of
the overdraft increased by $500 just
before the doors of the bank were
closed.
1t is claimed that other irregularities
have also been discovered which will
be brought up later in the hearing of
the evidence.
Magill spent the entire winter in this
city and was employed in the C.H.Sieg
factory. He has many friends in this
city who are of the opinion that he was
not guilty of any wrong doing, but that
if he committed any scrime it was a
technical one.

TIE LaFollette section of the Re-
publican party is to renew it's fight fol
supremacy in the party. The editorial
of the organ of the LaFOllette faction,
The State, reproduced in Saturdays
Journal, with the approval of the mas
ter, LaFollette himself, must be taken
seriously. It shows that he is again in
the field, organizing his forces for the
battle The new contention will take
a more specific form. 1t will be adVo-
Gated in broader spirit. 1t will be
based on demand for more restrictive
legislation for railroads and a higher
taxation of them. 1t may possibly
draw in the TAX commission now es-
tablished, through it's connection with
the establishment of the basis and
rates of taxation. But the one, orig
inal object of the contention will re-
main the same; to get control of the
party. Milwaukee Journal.
There can be little doubt that La
Follettism will reappear in the coming
campaign. 1t was scarcely thought by
the Republicans of the State after the
nomination of Gov. Scofeld that the
opposition to him was thereby elimin-
ated. It was not of that character.
Bob LaFollette is far too ambitious a
man to be discouraged by one defeat or
even a succession of them. LaFOllette-
ism is synonymous with ambition.
However, there is little anxiety felt
among the friends of the present
administration on account of the pros
poets of the presence of Mr.. LaFollette
in the next campaign. In 1913, although
Mr.. LaFollette was the same am
bilious, striving politician that he is
today, he had the reasonable backing
of considerable portion of both parties
in the State. In his last campaign Mr..
LaFollette had as his watchword I" re-
FORM" He pushed himself into the
apparent leadership Of the reform
movement which was then uppermost
in peoples minds. These conditions
have changed. The platform on which
Gov. Scofeld was elected comprised
the reforms on which Mr.. LaFollette
based his hopes of the election. The
fidelity with which the promises of re-
form therein contained have been car
ried out by the present administration
has completely knocked over the prop
upon which LaFollettism leant. The
abuses, against which he assumed the
leadership, have for the most part beer
eradicated. Any political movement, tt
be in any degree important or success
full, must have behind it some vita
force having it's origin either in the
hearts or the minds of the people, II
1913 there was such a force. LaFOllette
knew it and saw the advantage therein
presented. But today no such force
exists that has not already an &C.
knowledged and established reader
1t is true LaFollette may again bob up,
but the reasons for his doing so eXis
only in his own mind. AS far as the
Governorship is concerned LaFollette
has been laid on the shelf.
