house committee on naval affairs
in the last congress and who is likely
to occupy the same position in the
next congress, participated in an in
formal conference with President Nc

the departure Of the presidential
party for the west. Others present
at this conference were Secretaries
Root and Hitchcock, Attorney Gen.
eral Griggs, Senator Hanna, ex -Secere-
tary Bliss, and Myron Herrick, Of
Cleveland, Ono. After this confer
ence, at which the president talked
freely, Mr. Boutelle said: "The admin
istration's policy is to carry out the
manifest will of the American people
in furnishing troops to 90 to the Phil
ippine islands to sustain the fruits
of Admiral Dewey's victory. The
duty that now devolves upon this
government is to maintain our sover-
eighty over the islands, sustain our
soldiers against any enemy and
disturbance of law and order, every
thing being for the purpose of estab-
fishing rightful government for the
people of the islands in such mann er
AS the American government, through
the congress, shall determine. The
campaign must be pushed actively
ana vigorously and the opposition to
our army must be ended as rapidly
as possible. Peace must be estab-
Iished by this government and main
tanned thereby until congress shall
determine what shall be done with
the islands. From what the presi-
dent said, it is proposed to D end
every resource to the stamping out
of all opposition to our author lty,
the settlement of the war, and the
establishment and maintenance OF
peace"

UNDER THE WHEELS.
A Laborer Killed Yesterday on the Mil
waukee Road

waukee Road
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
a young man who gave his name as
Charles Peterson was killed on the
Milwaukee road a few miles east of
this city by being whirled under the
wheels of a fast moving freight train,
from which he was endeavoring to
alight. Ia company with another man
Peterson was on his way to secure
employment on the construction work
between here and Ixonia. His COM
panion jumped from the train in safety,
but Peterson was caught under the
wheels and had his head crushed.
Death was instantaneous. A coroner's
jury was impaneled by Justice Stacy
and went to the scene of the fatality.
A verdict of accidental death resulting
from carelessness of the deceased and
with no blame attaching to the railway
company was rendered The deceased
was 19 years of age and unmarried.
His home was at Pierceville, Dane
county. This morning it was ascer-
tanned that the mans real name was
August Zimmerman, and that by the
second marriage of his mother he was
also known as Peterson.

Football.

The Sacred Heart college team
opened their season Saturday with a
victory over the husky cadets of St
Johns Military academy at Delafeld,
the score being II to 5. Under the
leadership of Captain Disch, Sacred
Heart made a splendid showing and
accomplished all that was expected of
them. He has instilled confidence
and pluck in his men and taught them
the fine points of the game to a nicely.
Ii the players keep in good condition,
there is no reason why Sacred Heart
should not make a very creditable
showing on the gridiron this fall.
The Delafields played hard football
and kept their opponents at work
every moment Their line, however,
was unable to withstand the steady
plunging of Disch, Kleinow and
Meagher, who accomplished some
very effective work. McGinnity at
quarter handled the passes without
single tumble and every man in the
line held his position firmly. Sacred
Hearts touchdowns were the result of
splendid end run by Kleinow and
line smashes by Disch. Meagher
kicked one goal and missed the other.

goal from the field dropped by Testi-
uide in the last few minutes of play.
They secured the ball on palpable

Some of Our Attractions

1.-The Chronicler,n an interesting
genius who pens his thoughts and OBJ
servations for The Fort Atkinson
Chronicle, included the following in
his last weeks contribution:
Speaking of the wild girl, a wise
young man who attended the Water
town carnival told me that the bright
particular star among the numerous
fakirs there was one with enough brass
to set up large foundry. He exhib-
tied ''wild girl' who in private life
was colored bootblack in Milwaukee.
''She" was arrayed fantastically and
attached to something less than q
quarter of ton of chains, which same
were fastened to a small stake that a
healthy 'skid" five years old could
have pulled up and carried away. But
the people paid their money all the
same and those who seemed skeptical
were invariably convinced when the
''wild girl'' cavorted around in a ter
rifying manner as cher" keeper
ratified the chains and shouted some
gibberish.
Going through the exchange pile
the other day, | noticed that one of
"our esteemed contemporaries" print
ed, under the heading 'sLunch Locals, y
detailed information relative to what
the retail purveyors of wet goods do
ing business in it's burg set before their
patrons ''free gratis for nothing In
the aggregate, it comprised quite an
extensive bill of fare and afforded an
illustration of how great things grow
from small beginnings, for it's far
cry from crackers and cheese to hot
soup-from the lowly and salty pretzel
to roast pig with apple sauce.

LYNCHING.

Fifty years ago the western people
decimated the criminal ranks by lynch
ing, and the horse thief wss particular
ly obnoxious to them, and when caught
the halter did its work promptly, and
in every case the victim was a white
man, YET the western people and not
denounced as barbarous by the Lloyd
Garrisous of the east when explosives
are placed on trolly car tracks and when
cars laden with woman and children
ara blown up in Ohio. The people of
Ohio are still civilized. But when a
negro ravisher pays the penalty OF his
crime on tree or lamp posl--.
Enough said.
During the time that slavery existed
IN the south and for twenty years after
the negro was freed, lynching was not
thought of or practised in the south.
During the civil war when the faihar,
husband and son left home for the bat
tlefield, the mother, wife and children
we're placed under the protection Of
me slave and they knew they were
safe, But since that time new genera
non has appeared who have been taught
to believe that they are entitled to
rqual rights, politically, socially and
otherwise. From this generation we get
the criminals who merit the rope and
shot gun.
The old ex-slave is gentle and law.
abidiug creature. He holds the respect
and sympathy of his white neighbor;
If he is 10 want, the white man will
ue D him; he has not forgotten his ear
ly training. When he was slave and
inclined to be vicious he was not al
lowed to employ an attorney TO hunt
up evidence to prove that his grand
mothers father.iD-law tied tin can to
d mules tail. He was taken to the
whipping post and punished, some
times brutally, but many officers of
lunatic asylums, jails and even schools
in the north practice more brutality
than the slave owner ever dreamed OF.
Lynching is not approved OF by the
great mass Of people in the south. But
50 long as the attorney can put IN evil
dence that the criminal is not RESPONSE
BILE for his acts, and so long as
The courts postpone trials indefinitely,
and so long as the uDmentionable crime
is committed, no man who takes part
in the lynching bee will be punished.
We have in this country ten white men
to one black man, yet we have ten
black men who commit these crimes to
one white man. We need in every
southern State the whipping post, not
only for adults but for children over
ten Years age. where the parent or
Guardian of the child can punish the
criminally inclined boy with stripes.
Abolish the worthless chain gang, and
giye the offender 80 we'll laid on. Ii the
criminal youth is vacclnated thus at the

sALTING THE CATTLE.


''The sun is setting on the hills
The slanting shadows lie;
'Tis time to salt the cattle
That roam the uplands high.
Come out and hear me call them
They'll answer to tny cry"
Then loud the master shouts until
The hills and woods Iesound,
And many mocking echo
Repeats the mellow sound
There's not s sign OF cattle
In all the pastures round.
Hark once again the call rings out,
And family on the air
Genes the soft low of cattle;
And look from everywhere,
North. south snd east the herds crowd on,
Wild for their wonted fare.
With heads tossed high and nostrils red
And eager eyes sire,
They stamp and stride and below
Wild with their fierce desire,
And crowd, two hundred head or more,
Close TO the guarding wire.
Opens the massive gate, and in
Among that motley crew
Of dun and white and red and brown
He threads passage through
The master, with his bag of salt
daring deed to view.
"Here, Crump! no, Dicl, p and right and le t
He thrusts them as they close
"Tako care old Buster, greedy bones
Ho Buck and Black aud Nose
Keep to the right you restless brutes,"
And on and on he goes
Throwing the salt in luscious heaps,
Till sll the hungry crew
Make for their pastures, satisfied
To crop the grass anew
And the wide gate turns back again
To let the master through.
