Appleton, Wis, Nov. 2S.-John Dalke,
a cripple who lives on a farm north of
this city, is threatened with hanging by
his %neighbors, who charge him with hay
ing procured by witchcraft the death of
four of his relatives.
Within the last three months Mrs. Her.
man Dalke, his sister-in-law, and her
three children nave died, and other neigh
bors have been seriously i'll. witch Doc
tors" kaukauna and Wittenberg pro-
nounced the sufferers bewitched and have
cured them.
Several droves of hogs and cattle have
plned away and died from some myster-
ious cause, and settlers blame Dalke,
They claim he holds communion with
devils and has sold his soul to Satan,
Hogs which have been fed heavily have
died, manifesting symptoms of starva-
ton, while animals belonging to the al
legged wizard Ia thrived without food
Dalke admits that he has supernatural
powers, and says he inherited them from
his mother. He has studied the black art
and added to his power.
The settlers who make the charges
against him are M~ecklenburg Germans,
and are firmlNconvinced of his guilt. No
complaint has been made to the courts
and there is no evidence that Dalke was
responsible for the death of his relatives.
The excitement in the town of Centre.
where Dalke lives, is intense, however,
and the people say they will lynch Dalke
II there is a repetition of the peculiar
happenings.
1t is believed here that Dalke has
frightened his neighbors by mesmeriz-
ing them.
The relatives Who died are Mrs. Her
mar Dalke; Mary, aged IA; August, aged
3; and AntOnia. aged 6.

Great Songs Must Have Great Themes.

William Watson, himself a great
poet, has written the following let
ter to the London Daily Chronicle
in regard to Swinburne's recent
poem urging the English on to the
destruction of the Beers.
Like several of his contemporar-
les, you appear to have been disap
pointed with the quality of recent
sonnet by Mr.. Swinburne. In SIM
pie justice to that magnificent sing
er let us remember that the exist
ence of great theme, not less GER
tainly than of great poet, is one
Of the indispensable antecedent con-
ditions of great poetry. The as
sassination Of a state and the
strangling Of people are not hero
ical themes, and never while this
world endures shall they evoke ono
note of noble song. Moreover, in
all combats between giant and a
STRIPPING the muse must Of necessity
be at a certain moral disadvantage in
the somewhat ludicrous task of en-
heartening the giant.
1t is the valOr of David with his
sling, and not the arrogant bulk of
Goliath, that kindles the iInagina-
tion of poets and captures forever
the sympathies of man.

The time is ripe for q natl

The time IS ripe Tor a national
convention Of fools. The crop this
year has been surprisingly large
and Of good variety. The $40 per
cent syndicate fools are numerous
enough to fill Madison Square
Garden of themselves.
Twenty-three fools in the Ad-
irondacks took their fellow men
for wild animals and perforated
them with shot. Four fools shot
their faithful dogs, taking them
for deer.
In Chicago, eighty-six female
fools dabbled in a bucket shop
with a "direct wire connection
with the New York Stock Ex-
chang" down in the cellar. They
will not wear seal-skins this yule-
tide.
Individual fools have been num-
berless and Of fine quality. A New
Jersey fool rested his arm on the
muzzle Of his gun and his foot on
the hammer. He is now a one
armed fool.
A Chicago fool, in Jail for rob-
berry, knocked his cell mate down
and despoiled him Of 81. .83, thereby
materially adding to his torn.
A Florida fool, William Cleggett,
thought it would be funny to give
an elephant a chew Of tobacco.
When the fool came down, the
coroner could not have located his
sense Of humor with q microscope.
By all means let us have a con-
vention of fools and home for
INDECENT old fools.-N.

A person named DR.. :. G. Swal-
low, of Pennsylvania, attacks Presi-
dent Mckinley in most bitter
fashion for drinking -ssne at a
recent political banquet.
DR.. Swallow infers that a man
who does not totally abstain from
wine is not Christian. And yet
there are but few ministers, either
in this city or in Philadelphia, who
are total abstainers.
The diplomacy of nations is in
terspersed with toasts and well
wishes, and such toasts are almost
invariably pledged with wine. In
such cases it is not necessary to
drown yourself with the libation.
President Mckinley thoroughly
understands the usages of public
life, and in conforming to them he
never oversteps the bounds Of de-
cency and good taste.

THE POSTAL RATE SCANDAL.

The coming session of congress
is expected to witness a determined
effort to end the annual postal de
felt, and put the business of the
postof1ice department on a paying
basis. There are several ways in
which this can be done, but two of
them have assumed special prom
inence. and the discussion is tax
ing the form of struggle between
them, with members of congress
lined up on each side.
On one hand it is proposed to
cut down the second-class privi-
leges. by which great volumes of
mail matter are handled for less
than the cost of transportation. On
the other it is proposed to make
transportation cheaper by reduc-
ing the amounts paid to the rail
roads.
1t will not take long deliberation
to decide which of these plans will
be more acceptable to the Ameri-
can people. The exorbitant tri-
butte drawn by the railroads from
the postoffice department is one of
the greatest scandals of our gov
ernment. We pay $35, ,OOO,OO0 a
year for the transportation of the
mails by rail. Half of that amount
would be an extravagant figure. A
reduction to that extent would wipe
out the deficit and leave the postal
service with an annual profit of
over 10000, 900.
Mr.. Finley Acker, on behalf of
the national board of trade, told
the postal commission that the
rate paid to the railroads for hauling
the mails was $40 per ton per hund-
red miles. DR.. George G. Tunell,
a transportation expert employed
by railroad companies to make the
best possible showing in their be-
half, challenged this statement in
an article in the Journal of POliti-
cal Economy, but after making all
possible and some impossible de-
he did not succeed in re-
ducing the figures below $34 per
ton per hundred miles. That is
"a cents per ton per mile, which is
more than it would cost to haul the
mails by wagon. If the govern
ment had two tons of mail to send
from New York to Chicago, and
time was no object, it could actually
buy team of horses and wagon,
hire man to drive them and pay the
expenses of team and man on the
road for less than the railroads
charge it for carrying the sacks in
its own chartered car.
These are things that Mr.. Loud
will have to explain before the
will permit him to tax
periodical literature for the benefit
of the transportation companies
