A Valuable Relic.

A fve-dollar bill issued according
to an act of the continental congress
in 1776 is valuable relic in the hands
of G. E. Palmer, of Oconomowoc. The
bill, which measures 2A by 3A inches,
was given to the present owner by his
grandfather. The following words
also appear on the face: ''This bill
entities the bearer to receive five
Spanish milled dollars, or the value
thereof in gold or silver. according
to resolution of congress, passed at
Philadelphia. February II, 1776."

MANY Hunters Killed,

The deer hunting season has closed
and hereafter it will be safe for a
man to walk through the woods OF
northern Wisconsin. During the 20
days of the hunting season there have
been IL men killed and II seriously
wounded. There never was time in
the history of the state when there
were SO many deer and such a flood
of amateur hunters. The result has
been a large list of casualties.

~, ''that hadn't his tongue In his

ny, that hadn't his tongue In his
cheek"
For three months. that hard-worked
troop had been afeld, and the time
had passed and gone when its young
first lieutenant had hoped for q leave
to go home to see the mother and Jess.
His captain was still ailing and unfit
for duty in saddle. He could not and
would not ask for leave at such a
time, and yet at the very moment when
he was most earnestly and faithfully
doing his whole duty at the front,
SANDER was busy with his name long
miles at the rear.
Something was amiss with Burleigh,
said his cronies at Gate City. He had
come hurrying back from the hills,
had spent day in his Office and not
cent at the club, had taken the night
express unbeknown to anybody but
his chief clerk, and gone hurrying
eastward 1t was a time when his
services were needed at the depot, too.
Supplies, stores, all manner of ma
terial were being freighted from Gate
City over the range to the Platte and
beyond, yet he had wired for authority
to hasten to Chicago on urgent per-
sonal affairs, got it and disappeared.
Ayoung regimental quartermaster was
ordered in from Emory to take charge
of shipments and sign invoices during
Burleigh's temporary absence, and the
only other officer whom Burleigh had
seen and talked with before his start
was the venerable post commander.
One after another the few cavalry
troops (companies) on duty at Emory
had been sent afeld until now only
one was left, and three days after Bur-
leigh started there came dispatch
from department headquarters direct
ing the sending of that one to Frayne
at once. Capt. Brooks troop, owing
to the continued illness of it's COM
mander, would be temporarily with
drawn and sent back to Emory to re-
place it.
Marshall Dean did not know whether
to toe, he was keenly enjoying the
command of his troop. He gloried in
mountain scouting, and was in his ele-
ment when astride spirited horse.
Then, too, the air was throbbing with
rrmors of Indian depredations along
the northward trails, and everything
| pointed to serious outbreak any mo-
ment, and when it came he longed to
be on hand to take his share and win
| his name, for with such a troop his
| chances were better for honors and
| distinctions than those of any young
ster he knew. Therefore he longed to
keep afield. On the other hand, the
visit paid by Jessie's school friend
little "Pappoose" Folsom, was to be
returned in kind. John Folsom had
begged and their mother had consent
| ed that after week at home Jess
should accompany her beloved friend
on visit to her far western home
They would be escorted as far as Oma-
Ia, and there Folsom himself would
meet them. His handsome house was
ready, and, so said friends who had
| been invited to the housewarming
particularly we'll stocked as to larde1
and cellar. There was just one thing
on which Gate City gossips were en-
abled to dilate that was not entirely
satisfactory to Folsom's friends, an6
| that was the new presiding goddess
of the establishment.

Burned to Death.

An aged couple named Klotow, iv-

Spencer, were burned to death in
their home, and circumstances sur
rounding the case have given rise to a.
suspicion that the fire was of incen-
diary origin. The district attorney
and coroner were expected to investi-
gate the matter.

A Democratic Prayer.

Oh, Lord God of Israel, Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, David. Solomon, etc.
we come to thee in this hour of dis
tress, and want and desire to ask thy
! aid and assistance. Oh Lord, it is not
often we ask of thee a favor; when we
want anything we walk in and take
it, In times past, Oh Lord, we have
been able, without blly aid, to lick
the stuffin' out of the Republicans.
And, On, Lord, we could do 1T now if
it wasn't for one Hanna, who defies
our hosts and scares them out of their
boots Oh, Lord we have howled at
this man Hanna until our voices are
faint, and our hearts have gone down
in despair, but he only winketh at us
and crieth ha ha. Oh, Lord, we need
thy help. The six million of us who
are arraYed against this man Hanna
are as feathers in storm, in d con-
test with him. He is the whole
thing. He has got more sense and
strength than all of US, with the help
we can get in the Republican party.
Oh, Lord, can't you gather Hanna to
the tomb of his fathers? 1t is writ
ten that the Lord hath given and
the Lord mas taken away" Oh, Lord,
don't give US another Hanna, and
take away that which thou hast
given. Our Heavenly Father, this
man Hanna is in our way, and we
can't lick him, and he careth not
straw for our hoWls. He blocketh the
way to the feast, and giveth out all
the wedding garments to the Repub-
licanS. lie is the Toast Master of the
jubilant Republicans and the Roast
Master of us poor disconSolates. Oh,
Lord, we pray thee to send the seven
plaques of Egypt on him. or send him
down South were we can count him
out. And, Oh Lord, we ask thee to
take William Jennings Bryan in the
hollow of thy hand and set him before
the people. Let him be lifted up like
the serpent in the wilderness, that
whatsoever shall give hearty support
shall have a postoffice. Oh, Lord. may
it be thy will that William Bryan
may lead us to the piecOunter of our
hopes, ind that Hanna shall be cast
into outer darkness, our enemies con-
fused, and that there shall be wailing
and gnashing of teeth in the Repub-
lican camp. And we ask as a special
privilege, Oh Lord, that thou shall
open William Bryan's mouth as wide
as is commensurate of the occasion.
that thou shalt impart motion to his
tongue, that ne may be able to pour
out words as from gatIing gun, for
nothing short of this will cover the
occasion, and down Mark Hanna.
And, Oh Lord, we pray thee that if
thou dost remove Mark Hanna, you
take his ghost also, for we are afraid
of that too. Help US to get all the
money we can for this campaign:
bless the men who contribute whisky
and don't forget to aid us in increaS-
ing the volume of our howlS, until the
hills and valleys resound as with the
penetrating notes of ten million lack
asses. oh, Lord, if you can't help us,
don't help Hanna, but stand back ard
