White Mans Skin Changes.

August Westranen, a Finnlander en-
ployed at a Kenosha tannery changed
the color of his skin. He went to. work
after short illness and had scarcely be-
gun when his companions saw that his
skin was growing black. They called his
attention to it and he tried to wash off
the seeming diseoloration, but uselessly.
In an hour he had become black Us n
negro. He left his work and went home
but up to late hour he had not resum-
ed his original color. Medical men say
that cases have been known in which
men have undergone such metamorpho-
sis, but these have been gradual and eX-
plainable by scientific causes, whereas
this change in Westranen was sudden

Republicans VS.. Trusts.

HepuDlIcanS VS.. Trusts. fxB
Realizing that the trust issue is going
to be prominent during the Presidential
campaign, the Republican leaders are
casting about to find some way Of fooI
ing the people into the belief that the
Mckinley party favors antitrust legis-
lation.
This is dangerous subiects for Re
publicans to handle, for if they mani
fest a real desire to control trusts those
combines will cut off campaign sup
plies and marshal votes against the
party.
On the other hand. if the antitrust
movement is too plainly hypoeritical
the people will not be fooled by it.
Dispatches from Washington an
nounce that Republican, leaders have
devised what they consider brilliant
plan to side-track the trust issue They
have come to the conclusion that if
Congress should pass resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Constitu-
tion to give the United States Govern
ment power over corporations it would
leave no chance for the intended Demo
cratic assault OH trusts. Should such
resolution be passed during the spring
or early summer it could not be acted
upon by the various State legislatures
before next winter. and the issue would
in the meantime be in suspense, with
the credit for having taken the first
step in the direction of 'effectual control
of trusts resting with the Republicans.
This is quite a clever idea, but it has
its drawbacks. In the first place, it is
too plainly a trick to put off the con-
sideration of the trust question. The
people would hardly swallow the bait
as the hook is too much in evidence.
In the second place the whole history
of the Republican party is against the
probability that such course would be
| accepted by the voters as sincere. The
trust question cannot be side-tracked
and Mark Hanna knew this when he
met the proposition with the brazen as
sertion that there were no trusts. Chi

Earl stiIson Is Set Free.

Earl Stilson of Galesburg. H., who was
arrested at Stevens Point for attempting
to murder Machael Ward in the Wiscon-
sin paper mill, was discharged at the
preliminary examination. The two men
were employees of the mill and they quar-.
relied year ago over family affairs. Still
son left the city and did not reappear
until few days ago. The men met in a
narrow passage at the mill and Ward,
who was carrying a pail of carmine dye,
slipped and fell. splashing the dye all
over Stilson, who shot at Ward withr
out asking for an explanation. Ward es-
capped injury. Stilson claims Ward de-
liberately doused him with the dye.

Small Stock of Lumber on Hand.

There has not been in fifteen years as
small stocks of lumber on hand as at the
present and the strong demand has caus-
ed prices to stiffen again. Five of the
large Marinette sawmills are in opera
ton this winter, an unusual occurrence,
and the railroads have already brought
in over 40,000,000 feet, principally hard
wood. The scarcity Of snow in the PIN

A FORTUNATE RUNAWAY.

Wednesday afternoon shortly after
one o'clock people in the vicinity OF the
corner of Main and Bridge sts., observed
a horse and wagon come dashtng down
Bridge street and as it turned the cor
ner onto Main street it was seen that
there was young man in the bottom
of the wagon without lines or other
means OF guiding or checking the wild
career of the steed. He struck upon
the sidewalk in front of Hotel Belding
the wagon straddled the iron hitching
posts in front of Lambs and lodged
against the telephone poles, the horse
breaking loose and keeping the side
walk down as far as n. Lapham's.
When the wagon stuck fast the box
slid off on the walk and the young man
with it, miraculously escaping with a
few small cuts and a pretty severe
shaking up. 1t was George Curtis who
took the wild ride and escaped so for
tunatel-. He came from the Curtis
home about mile and half east,
where the rig was b ing hitched up for
a drive into Orleans, and the reins had
not yet been attached when he started.
George is very badly crippled and un-
able to stand even without crutches, so
was Of course entirely powerless to get
out, or help himself in any manner.
The wagon was stove up considerable
but was not a very valuable one any
way. Mr.. Curtis and sons ran all the
way to town expecting to find George
killed or seriously injured at least, and
were very thankful to find he had es-
capped so easily.

the bark; later the brigantine, and from the
barkentine was evolved the three-masted
schooner with short miZzenmast, which for
a time retained one feature of her parent
rig, fore yard and brailing square SAIL
above which she carried triangular sail
called ''raffee." This rig lasted partly
through the period of depression following
the panic of 1873; but economy of man
power and the unwieldiness of the heavy
yard on the growing vessels gave 1T the
death blow, ami finally the last yard was
.struck-often. though, in company with the

schooner on the lakes that has not become
