Smallest Salary Paid to a Gov
ernment Employe.

Iowa county, Wisconsin, lays claim
to having the lowest-salaried officlal
in the employ of the United States
Government The Government hires
Frank Lynch for 1 cent a year to car
ry the mail between this town, the
county seat of Iowa county, and Min
eral Point, 8 miles distant.
1t is the law that such employe shall
be paid quarterly, but Lynch, al
though he has been carrying the mails
regularly since last July, has as yet
received no quarter of cent or checks
for those amounts. The young man is
not looking for any remittances on his
salary until next July, when he ex-
poets a check for a whole cent. 1t Is
supposed this will be the smallest
check ever issued by the Government,
and efforts have already been made to
secure possession of it. The mail car
rier has received several offers of SIS
or 500 for the check, but he has so far
warily avoided any definite entangle-
ments.
Both Dodgeville and Mineral Point
have railroads, but there Is none be-
tween the two towns. The trip from
one place to the other by rail is SO
roundabout that it is out of the ques-
ton, so passengers and mail are driv-
en- across country. Whoever has the
contract of carrying the mail feels GER
tain that he will get all the passenger
trade, for no one has yet had the
courage to compete for passenger bus
| mess with the United States mail car
rier. For this reason the transfer of
mail is deemed valuable privilege.
When there is sleighing the mail
| carrier takes his passengers across
| country as snug as bug in a rug. On
pair of bobs he has a long boxed-n
affair, which locks more like freight
car than anything else In the center
of this box is a stove and about the
sides are seats for the passengers, who
enter by little door in the rear Of the
ear A rousing fire is kept going in the
little stove and the trip is made with
out the least scomfort-Dodridge

Reality and Poetry Of War.

What do the war drums say?" asks
Poet Frank l.. Stanton in the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post, in the
course Of stirring poem. This query
illustrates how war has changed and
also how little the poets and Webster
Davis know about war as II is now
conducted
What do the war drums say
When the regiments march away?
No doubt 1t will astonish the poet of
the Post to learn that drums have
been abolished for many years as
feature of regiments and war
Over the world away,
To the wrath and red O. the fray
There are no longer any Trays in
war, and the battles are not red, but
dust colored. In the days of drums
the soldiers rushed forward carrying
flags, the drums rolling, and often met
with dubbed muskets and bayonets,
thus making the fight seem red. Web
ster Davis saw them fight this way on
Spion Kop. although the newspaper
correspondents described an entirely
different scene.
So do the war drums say
Where the swords are keen to slay.
But what OF the life-blood that falls
like dew?
1T has crimsoned the stripes of the
flag for you,
And given the stars to its heaven
blue!'
So do the war drums say.
There are no swords keen to slay, y
&, because the officers of the United
States Army, and, it is said, of the
British army leave them off in battle
and they never get close enough to the
enemy to use swords anyhow. With
the troops lying prone on the ground
or crawling forward on their bellies II
Is, of coulse, obvious that flags and
banners can't be carried, to say moth
ing OF the fact that they would disclose
| The position 10 the enemy ana enaDle
him to get the exact range. Webster
Davis saw youth bear the Boer flag
1t the head Of the Beers at Spion Kor
Is they went ever the British en-
renchments like an avalanche" He
probably heard the stirring roll Of the
)ass drums-which are no longer used
What do the war drums say
When the regiments march away?
They don't say anything, because
| here are no war drums Instead oil

suit Sheriff Hayes arrested r. F. rus-

more is brought back and forth. There
he was seen to draw a revolver and load
it. He remained in the Jail corridor until

ey in the bank. She kept no book ac-

The bill prohibits the issue OF stock or
bonds except for cash, or the issue cf

granting of public franchises by private
bills, but provides for a general franchise
law, reserving to the legislature the pow
er to amend, alter or repeal franchises at
WILL and also the right TO purchase such
franchises 1t prohibits the organization
of banks Of issue and the organization of
agricultural corporations. The latter pro-
vision is TO prevent the agricultural lands
of the island falling into the hands of a

Following the law In this country, 1t
also provides that banks proving title to
lands in payment of debts must dispose OF
such land within five years.

CHARGES PREFERRED.

During the last football season charges
were made that the football team was
not a genuine college team At the
request Of the president, the faculty COM
mittee on athletics Immediately made an
investigation, through the manager, of
every person challenged. The manager
stoutly asserted that every person on the
team was bona f1de student. The rec
ords upon the surface were In every
case correct, SO far as enrolment, pay
ment Of fees, ETC., were concerned.
The investigation has shown, how
ever, that this state of affairs was Sc.
cured by assuring the student that he
had obtained a scholarship in the uni
versity, which is contrary both to fact
and policy of the institution Following
the uniform custom at Columbia Of be-
lieving every student until he has shown
himself untrustworthy, the committee re-
ported to the president that the criticism
upon the team was not justified except
in the case of Gilchrist, who was imme~
diately forbidden to play.
UGLY RUMORS.
During the last few weeks rumors
the financial honesty of the manager and
his truthfuless. AS soon as these rumors
reached the ears of the faculty commit
tee on athletics this committee asked the
graduate advisory committee Of the ath>
letic association to cause the managers >
books to lie audited by q public account
ant and to report the results Of their in,
quiry to the faculty committee on ath-
letics.
The report of the graduate advisory
committee shows that the manager has
not used money belonging to the team
for his own purposes 1t shows, on the
other hand, that he had doctored the
accounts in order to conceal the payments
made to various members of the football
team for tuition or for board and that

occupied the office of chamberlain Of this

UNFAIRLY confessed a shortage of over

lowing the election a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the chamberlain
books. Bundy went to Frederick Collin,
the attorney for his >bondsmen, and con-
fessed to being short in his accounts
over $50 900.

men, has taken charge Of the chamber
