who stood by The do II in the hall.

Supposed Go about your work, or I

Tom made no reply, but his face
lighted up as he caught look from
Morals blue eyes, and -breathed
"Never mind. Tom," from her red
lips.

Tucker, with q glow on his honest
face, as the girls entered the room.
"There is my gals, Judge Alder
berry,
AldeTberry."
The sisters stared. Could this ele-
CANT gentleman in the finest of broad
cloth, with diamond studs sparkling in
| his bosom, be any relation to Tom?
They were soon enlightened.
Seals, this is Toms father" ex-
planned the old farmer; 'san' he's jest
found out whar his son is. Got mad
and driv him off because he wouldn't
marry a-a-"
IAN heiress," smiled the judge.
"Yes, whoever he pleases," repeated
the judge; "and If be prefers to live
in the country be shall have the best
farm in the State, and the finest house
money can build; for Toms my only
child, and all I have is his"
"But you must stay to dinner with
US, Judge Alderberry," insisted Miss
Geneva ,ahospitably, as soon as she re-
covered her scattered senses; ''you and
Mr.-Mr. Tom, too."
And she hastened to congratulate
the once despised ''hired hand"
But Nora, blushing like an Oc-
tober peach, slipped away to the vacant
sitting room to quiet the sudden beat
ing of her heart.
Tom going awayl Tom, with his
handsome coal-black eyes?
''Nora," whispered a tender voice.
"Nora," darling, will you love me and

And there was Tom with her hands

his breast.

President Mckinley is inclined to
favor the adoption of the suggestion
made a few days ago, by Gen. Gomez,
that U. S. troops to be kept in Cuba
until such time az it may be considered
advisable by this government, to turn
the island over to the Cubans, shall be
largely recruited from the ranks Of the
Crban army. The new Army Bill gives
the President discretion in the matter
Of recruiting from the natives of any of
the islands occupied hy us, and, unless
something occurs to make such a step
inadvisable, it is extremely likely that
many Cubans will soon be wearing
Uncle Sans uniform. To enlist a few
thousand Cubans in our army will be
killing two birds with one stone; it will
reduce the number of Americans who
will have to be kept on the island dur
ing the sickly season, and it will give
employment to many who might be-
come troublesome if unemployed.

Considering that they controlledonly
one branch of the ifty-ifth Congress
the Republicans have every reason TO
be proud of the record left by that Con-
gress, whichhas been in several respects
one of the most remarkable in our his
tory, and which has played an import
ant part in the worlds history. 1tdid
not meet all the expectations of the
country-no Congress ever did, and
probably none ever will-but it did
much that was good and left undone
many things it was urged TO do that
would have been bad and unwise. 1t
was wise enough for Instance, TO leave
the President free hand to deal with
the Philippines while we are finding
out what will be the best thing to do
for them. President Mckinley fully
appreciates the extert Of the RESPONSE
bllity thus placed upon him, as well as
the great compliment implied ty this
confidence in him, and will, in accord
ance with his usual custom, move eau
tiousiy in all that he does. His admin
istration has been remarkably free from
mistakes in matters of Importance and
it requires no gift of prophecy to say
that his official acts will justify the con-
fdence reposed in him by Congress and
by the people.

The appropriations made by the Con-
gress just closed were large in the ag-
eregate, but If any man can point out
any particular appropriation that was
not needed, he has not yet done so. A
large proportion of the total was for
the war, and to meet expenses conse-
quent thereon. For several years the
condition of the Treasury, owing to
four years of Democratic hard times,
made it necessary to skimp the appTo-
priations for public buildings, many of
which we're badly needed; these have
been provided for as we'll as important
River and Harbor improvements. The
Republican party has always believed
in liberality in these two classes of ex-
penditures, when the condition of the
Treasury would justify it.

The House succeeded in compelling
the Senate to agree to the number Of

al House Naval Bill, but the limitation
of the cost of armor to $500 ton, in
the bill as finally agreed to, make 8
it impossible to make any, contract for
constructing the battleships provided
for, without further legislation, be-
cause the bill provides that no contracts
shall be given for the construction of
the ships until contracts for the armor
have been made, and no contracts for
armor can be made at that price. But
Secretary Long says he can and win go

BANK IN TROUBLE.
Examiner Kidd Says Depositors' In
terests Are in Danger.

State Bank Examiner e. l. KIDD
Wednesday published an official notice
informing the public that the capital
of the State bank of Stoughton was re-
duced and impaired SO as to endanger
the interests of the depositors. The
bank has been having run for several
days, and some anxiety has been en-
tertained. 1t is reported, however,
that it will tide over the crisis, and
that enough money is coming in to pay
the depositors. In his statement Ex-
aminer Kidd says that the capital was
found to be impaired, and that there
were overdrafts amounting to SAIL 900.
In addition the examination showed a
considerable amount of bad paper on
hand. The notice says that the ex-
aEniner deemed it necessary to require
this deficiency in the capital to be made
up, and the bad paper secured, but the
bank officers did not obey the notice to
get the banks affairs into better shape
Accordingly as required by section
2023q of the revised statutes the notice
of the condition of the bank was pub
lished. The statement shows that on
July the liabilities were $453, 0l9l9,
divided as follows: Capital stock,
$4,000; interest and exchange
$166.77; certificates of deposit out
standing $235, 1888; deposits subject
to check, $155, 217.19; excess of liabili-
ties over nominal resources, face value,
S37, 522. Examiner Kidd says further
in his statement:
'Of the assets, the larger item is
made up of loans and discounts, aggre-
eating $311, 42282. Of this amount a
large proportion is estimated as being
bad ana doubtful, and over $128,00O IS
represented by overdue paper. The
next largest item of assets, other than
cash and amounts due from Banks and
bankers, is that of overdrafts, aggre-
eating over $4,000. This represents
the amount which customers of the
bank have been permitted to overdraW
their accounts without giving notes
therefor. How much of this will DE
made good cannot be definitely stated,
but large percentage is very doubtful.

sets which are bad and doubtful, and
the general condition of the bank is
such as requires me, in the discharge
of my duties under the law, to make a
public statement
Only six months ago the Dane Coun-
ty bank of Stoughton closed it's doors
and it's affairs are now in the hands ct
Receiver G. E. Roe of Madison. What
loss the creditors Of this institution
will sustain is not yet known, but it
will be considerable. A little over a
year ago the Edgerton bank failed,
which proved a heavy blow to the
community. All of these banks are IN
the center of the tobacco belt of Wis
consin, the wealthiest and most pros
porous section of the entire state.

BIG DEAL IN LEAF TOBACCO.
Trust Buys Million Dollars Worth ,ot
Wisconsin Weed.

Edgerton, Wis, August 16.-A sale
of leaf tobacco which for magnitude
has never been equalled in the history
Of the tobacco trade in this country has
been completed in this city. 1t in
wolves the exchange of Is, 900 cases of
tobacco at a cost of about $1,000,000.
The firm of L. Bamberger & Co. made
the sale and the American Tobacco
company, the recently formed trust,
which has its headquarters in New
York, is the purchaser. The sale will
make the year 1899 a banner one for
the leaf trade in Philadelphia, and
gives the local men a chance to crow
over the New York dealers, with whom
there is much rivalry in the way of
business. Of the $4,000 cases some
what more than half are made up of
Wisconsin leaf of the '97 and '98 crop.
The rest comes from various tobacco
growing districts, and is distributed in
warehouses throughout the country.
Tobacco such as this is sold by the
pound. The price paid is, of course, a
matter known only to the purchaser
and seller, but it was somewhere be-
tween 10 and II cents a pound. Some
idea Of the transaction may be CLEANED
from the statement that million dol
lars worth of business Is as much as
half dozen or more ordinary prosper
GUS leaf firms put together will do in
a year. Attached to the transfer of
the tobacco is a vast amount of phys
ical labor. Each case contains from
800 to $50 pounds of tobacco, and the
average freight car will hold only
about so cases. So that if all these
$4,000 cases containing their total of
100000 or 100000 pounds of tobacco.
should be moved at one time the rail-
road company executing the contract
would be required to use about 500
cars. " 80
