A Sad Affair.

Amigo, Wis, March 13.--While
Bernhard Wendorf and his 15-year-old
son, Otto, were loading logs at Neva,
near Amigo, the grabhook flew back,
striking the boy on the head, killing
him instantly. The frantic father
carried the boys body home, a dis
lance of two miles. He seemed to
blame himself for his sons death, and
his mind giving way under the strain
he took paris green and died Monday.

was created by congress in order that
there might be q peaceful settlement of
the contest for the presidency, in jan

Whether that commission was COM

mooted question. But that makes no
difference; the representatives of the
people agreed upon the commission,
and its conclusions were accepted. 1t is
. singular fact that the learned judges
and lawmakers composing that COM

rather than by calm, cool judgment.
Eight republican members of the COM

seven democratic members voted in IA

money was circulated throughout the

1t is not generally known. but it is 9
fact, that previous to the civil war thi,

$7.000.00e was minted; and most o,
the gold was taken from mines in tina,

mines were deserted, and they have

daries of the confederacy, that govern.
ment was never able to establish mint
and hence was obliged to depend upon
its issues of paper money.
All these interesting facts resulted
from the lEief conversation with dear

the electoral commission, made earnest

BERMUDA LILIES
Experiments with Them Conducted
by the Department of Agricul-
AR8T ture In the south.

An interesting experiment is now
being conducted by the United States
department of agriculture in South
Carolina and in the southern states
with the Bermuda lily SO popular at
Easter as gift and for decorative pur.
poses. Bulbs have been distributed
freely in every section Of Louisiana and
South Carolina with view to ascer-
tanning if the Bermuda lily will bear
transplanting to this soil. An expert.
ment made in the Rally experimental
station in South Carolina was attended
with the most satisfactory results, and
if the same luck follows the general ex-
pertinent the home markets can be sup
piled with the Lative grown product.
The supply in tie Bermudas is still un.
but the stock has SO deter
ioriated as to cause general complaint
from the receiving florists in this coun-
try, and this resulted in the action Of
the department of agriculture. As a
corrective method the British govern
ment has established an experimental
station in Bermuda to educate the ma
tives in the more successful growth of
this, one of their principal industries.

FAILING BULLETS
when Fired In the Air They Come
Down With All the Speed o1
Gunp0wder PropRlsion.

Falling bullets kill many men, even
when they are lying sheltered behind
trenches. If a bullet is fired in the air
it falls with as much force as it goes up.
But, curiously, there is certain limit
Of height beyond which bullet gains
no more falling force; the reason be-
ing that when the motion is very rapid
the resistance of the air balances the
attraction of gravity. In the siegerof
'Sebastapol-and. in fact, during every
campaign-a great many men were
killed by falling bullets. And the ter
rife force with which they come down
is shown BY q case in which the bullet
entered the shoulder of a cavalryman,
passed down through his body and
penetrated several inches into his
horses hack.
A curious instance occurred not LONE
ago Ia Irdia. while native was clean
ing boots in the open air he was seen
to drop dead without a cry. On ex-
amining him. they found that bullet

cent. of its face value. At the close Of
that year the money was held to be
worth Is per cent. of its face value. In
the spring of 1864, when Grant mobil-
lied his army in Virginia, Sherman at
Chattanooga, and Sheridan in the valley
of Virginia. the value of confederate
money deprecated SO rapidly that it be-
came practically worthless. The union
armies encircled he confederacy with
walls of steel and fire, and the financial
world would give 10 recognition to con-
federate promises to pay.
Then it was that the confederate SOL
diers suffered many privations, while
their families at home suffered for the
necessities of life. The women and chill
dren lacked clothing and shoes, and
often were deprived Of food. No won
der that the old soldier and statesman
now says that the presidential success
sion is not worth another civil war. The
old scrap book referred to containing
samples Of ali issues Of confederate
money. has companion in the last
check book used by the quartermaster
general of the COME 1eracy. This book
was opened January &c, 1865, and dur
ing the few remaining days of January
the sum total Of 1917 was checked
out, for transportation of troops. The
stubs of the check book show every
transaction until the close of the war.
The largest check drawn was for $780,
600 in favor of the Richmond & Danville
Railroad company; but a marginal note
shows that the company accepted &c.
600 in coin in lieu of the 5000, 900 in con-
federate checks. To such an extent
had the value of confederate money de-
preciated.
The total amount of paper money is
sued by the confederacy was 81, 50o, o00..
600. That is an immense sum to con,
template, and all of it became value
less. Towards the close of the war

either. Gen. Hunton says that these
conditions were brought about not only
because the confederate money of law
full issue had deprecated, but because
that money was counterfeited, and
hundreds of thousands Of counterfeit
confederate money flooded the south.
The confederate government was pow.
erless to stop this practice, because the
counterfeiting was done in the north.
