Telegraphic News of Happenings of the
Past Few Days in the Great State
of Wisconsin,.

Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. 9.-The Missis-
sippi river here is rising very rapidly
and it is feared that the water may
reach a 12-fOot stage. During the past
twelve hours it has gone up over foot
and the present stage is ten feet, which
is foot higher than it has been this
season. Reports received here state
that the Chippewa river is still rising
rapidly. At Chippewa Falls the
tracks of the Milwaukee road are I'M
der water and no trains were run over
the road. The bottom lands sur
rounding this city are all overfowed
by water from the Mississippi and
Black rivers.

NIGHTMARE.
The Sensation That Always Makes q
Man q Coward.

The Sensation That Always Makes q
Man a Coward.
"Strange that we are always so cow
ardly in nightmares" remarked a New
Orleans lawyer who has a taste for
the bizarre. II don't believe anybody
ever lived who stood up and made a
square stand against the amorphous
horror that invariably pursues us in
such visions. When l have a night
mare and the usual monster gets on
my trail, my blood turns to water, and
my conduct would disgrace a sheep.
am beside myself with stark, down
right fear, and have no idea left in
my head except to run like a rabbit.
All pride, self respect, dread Of ridicule
and even the instinct Of self defense
are scattered to the winds, and 1 be-
lieve, honestly, l would be capable Of
any infamy in order to escape. I have
no hesitation in confessing this, be-
cause, as far as I have been able to
find out, everybody acts exactly the
same way in the throes Of nightmare,
and I feel certain I would not make
SuCu d pltldOlc SpCCIdCIc VI LII SclI Ill
real life, no matter what might befall
II think that the explanation Of the
nightmare panic is to be found in the
fact that the dream is almost invari-
ably accompanied by a sense of suffo-
cation. 1t is we'll established that
choking-the shutting off of ones
wind to use homely phrase-has an
effect upon the mind which is entirely
distinct and different from that pro-
duced by any other form Of pain or
peril. It fills the victim with such hor-
ror and distraction that he is for the
moment insane. He will do anything
to get relief. This has been brought
out on more than one occasion in the
defense of men who have been choked
and killed their assailants, and judges
have held that the circumstances Of
such an attack should be given special
consideration as extenuating the deed.
In dreams the entire nervous system Is
relaxed, and it is natural to suppose
that the mental effect of suffocation
would be intensified. At least, that is
the best apology have to offer for my
sprints through nightmare land."-New
Orleans Times-Democrat.

THE HEDGE.

Fair neighbor of the matched cot,
With gloire de Dion clustered gable,
So star sweet, on from plot to plot
Thou trippest, like nymph of fable.
So blithe thy smile, so soft thy tone,
Thy love so good life to lead in,
I'd fain the hedge were overthrown
And our two gardens made one Edeni
But "Nov' cries Wisdom. ''Spare the fence,
The thorn, the ivy blackbirds nest in;

HOW to Prevent Group

We have two children who are subject
to attacks of Group. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and it always
prevents the attack. It is household
necessity in this county and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be without Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. More of it is sold here than of all
other cough medicines combined.-J. M.

He Objects to the Coal Combine.

West Superior, Wis, Oct. o. Ed
ward Hawarden, a retail coal dealer,
has brought suit against all the coal
companies having agents authorized to
sell coal in this city, all of the COM
panies representatives, and the agents
authorized by them. Hawarden asks
for an injunction against the de-
PENDANTS restraining them from in any
way interfering with his coal bust
ness. Last month the coal dock rep
resentatives decided to appoint author
lied dealers and to sell to none but
those dealers. The plaintiff and sew
eral others were left out, and now
cannot buy coal.

peary's Return Delayed.

St. Johns, N. F., Oct. 9.-Because of
the failure of the Peary exploring
steamer Windward to return from the
north it is believed that the explorer
will not attempt to come south this
year. 1t is thought that the season
has been an open one in the far north
and that Lieutenant Peary probably
took the Windward into some high lat
itude. hoping to use her in further
expedition next season. This would
mean that he has made no special rec
ord during the present year.

HAS VIEWS ON TRUSTS.
Thinks the Labor Union a Perfect One
Master Steamf1tters' Combine.

Master Steamf1ttars' Combine.
Washington, Oct. 9. - Henry B.
Gombers, of New York, secretary of
the Association Of Master Steamfitters,
was before the industrial commission
yesterday explaining the plans and mo-
tives of his association. He said it in
Guided the master steamfitters in about
twenty cities and was organized to pro-
tect It's members against the aggres-
sion of the labor unions. Gombers said
he considered the labor union the most
thorough trust In existence. In sup
port of this view he said the steamfit-
ters' organization in New York limited
its membership to 800, whereas it could
easily have 1900 men. This was done,
he said, to provide more work for the
men who were fortunate enough to be
inside the union. In winter, he said,
it was frequently difficult for the mas.
ter steamfittterssto get men enough to
do the work they had on hand.
Gombers said that his association
had an agreement with the manufact.
urers of steamftters' supplies, in vir-
tue Of which the manufacturers would
not sch supplies to any one not mas
ter steamfitteF. He said this did not
prevent master steamfitters outside his
association from Fbuying supplies. He
added. however, that he did not con.
slider bis association trust In any fair
construction Of the term. In q general
way the witness thought trade arbitra-
ton was a good thing. but he said there
were great many things that neither
he nor his association would ever be
willing to arbitratn.

WOMAN'S DESPERATE DEED
Kills Two of Her Offsprings, Wounds An
other and Ends Her Life.

New York, Oct. 6.-Impelled by a
strange power that overmastered her
maternal love, Mrs. Lillian Smith, the
wife of Walter NJ. Smith, at their
country home at Inwood-on-t the Hud-
son, shot and killed their 6-year-old
son Andrew. Then, apparently failing
in an attempt to poison with carbolic
acid her daughter Ethel, y, and her
baby, Mabel, years old, she shot
them, infiicting probably fatal injuries,
and in the belief that the tragedy was
three-fourth done she ended her own
life with bullet through the heart.
Her husband, who occupies a re-
sponsible position with the wholesale
firm of Austin, Nichols & Co., was so
crushed by the news that he was not
permitted to look on the faces Of the
dead for fear he would kill himself.
