In the Congressional Districts.

While nothing in Wisconsin encourages
democratic hopes on the state or national
ticket, they have q reasonable chance Of
doing something in the congressional dis
tricts. Several republicans have told mo
that In Milwaukee Mr.. Otjen's majority Of
two years ago cannot be counted on this
time. They think the chances are about
even. Former Governor Peck is the demo-
cratic candidate. He has lived down his
reputation as humorist, and Il making seri-
Gus business of getting into Congress. In
the Madison district the democrats are ac-
tive also. CHARLES N. PEPPER.

The Bryan First Voters club held
most enthusiastic meeting in Demo-
cratic headquarters Thursday evening.
In fact it was the livllest meeting of
any held during the present campaign.
Some 35 members signed the roll
at the meeting and 200 First Voters
were in attendance desiring to march
in the drill parade.
There were two things that some
what disappointed those present. The
first was that the drum corps engaged
for tho evening failed to show up, and
the second was that there were not
enough caps and canes to go around.
In regard to the latter, 100 caps had.
been secured and that number was
not enough by half to supply those
present.
Because of this 1t was decided to
hold another drill parade tonight, at
which time all those who failed to get
caps and canes Thursday night will be
supplied. .C
At o'clock 100 of the First Voters
lined up in front of the headquarters
upon the order of Captain Leon l..
Clause, and his lieutenants. BY the
way, it is appropriate to mention
something in connection with the wise
selection the club made in electing
Sergt. Clause as captain of the club.
He is a young man but natural
born organizer and commander. He
was sergeant of a. company in the
Third U. S. Cavalry during the Span
ish-American war, and a prominent
member of the Modern Woodmen.
The Republican club made all kinds
of inducements to Sergt. Clause to act
as captain of that organization but he
is staunch Democrat and snurned
their offers.
With the assistance of six lieuten-
ants, the Captain got the young man
in ranks of four and gave the COM
mand to march. Without music the
boys marched south to Exchange St,
countermarched north to Howard.
thence to Market; east on Market to
Main and south on Main to headquar-
ters. They all marched like veterans
keeping perfect step and straight

Share Holders Are Not
Anxious to Sell.
Company's Large Surplus Will
be Cut Down
BY Permanent Improvements to be
Made In Near Future.

The letter issued by Henry T. Crow
ell, president of the American Cereal
company, offering TO purchase 1000
shares at $1T5, has created feeling
that the stock is much more valuable
than the price heretofore quoted.
The offer made by Mr.. O. G. Barber
has been regarded with suspicion by
the stockholders of the company. An
official of the corporation is authority
for the statement that the proposition
was made for the purpose of increas-
ing the market value of the shares.
NJ. Otis Hover, who was interested
with Mr.. Barber. Is a heavy holder of
American Cereal stock. He was drop
ped from office at the. last annua,
meeting and it is claimed that he
sought to sell his stock at an advanced
price and that for that reason he had
looked upon the scheme with favor.
A recent dispatch from London,
however, tends to establish the fact
that Mr.. Barber's offer was bona fide
1t brings news that an English syn
dicate is about to invest millions of
dollars in American industrials and
that the American Cereal company
deal was only the first move in the
gigantic project. 1t is almost certain
that the deal is off unless a higher
offer is made by the English syndi-
cate.
PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.
The large surplus created by the
american Cereal company has been
a subject for more or less comment
from time to time. 1t is learned that
the company is about to expend an
immense sum in making permanent
improvements at its various mills and
that considerable part of the money
will be used for this purpose

The family ate veal for dinner Thurs.
day and it is believed that it was either
tainted or of very tender age. a con-
elusive piece Of evidence is found in
the fact that two daughters of Mr.. and

A "PersonnI. item

Mr.. and Mrs. c. P. Dyar and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Way have returned from a
three weeks trip up the Saint Law
renee river, through Canada and
among the New England states. They
took passage on one of the Gates tours
out of Toledo, leaving there July II,
and visited many points of interest in
Guiding Niagara Falls, the Thousand
Islands," Montreal, Quebec and the
plains of Abraham" upon whose his
toric field both Generals Wolf and
Montcalm lost their lives in that fierce
fight between the English and French
for supremacy in the Canadian coun-
try. 1t was while ascending the cliffs
of Quebec that the brave Wolfe quoted
in prophetic words the lines OF Gray's
Elegy. laying stress upon the inc, 1.-THE
path of glory lead but to the grave"
A few hours later he lay in the arms
of his faithful aide, pierced through
and through, when the cry rang across
the field, falling upon his ears: "They
run, they run" who run?" he an
xiously inquired. "The French" an
swered his aide. "Then God be prais-
ed. die happy" and the brave gen.
eral expired
At about the same moment, General
Montcalm, the French leader, received
a fatal wound. When told by his ply
sicians that he could live but few
hours at most, he gave utterance to
these words: Il am glad | will not
live to see the surrender of Quebec"
The result of the battle of Quebec
changed the map of the western world
from a standpoint of nationalities, and
the name of the brave Wolfe has been
inscribed on the pages of history well
up the list among the greatest of he
roes. Monuments have been erected
to the memories of both General
Wolfe and Montcalm on the plains Of
Abraham"

Grange Meeting Discussion.

The following law in regard to wild
carrots, Canada thistle, ETC., was dis
cussed by Little Hooking Grange at its
last meeting:
Section 70O1 as amended Feb. IA,
1900: Whoever knowingly vends any
grass or other seeds in or among which
there is any seed of Canada thistle,
white or yellow daisy or wild carrot,
and whoever being the owner, occupier
or possessor Of any land, suffer any
Canada thistle, teasle or wild carrot
to grow and ripen seed thereon, or on
the highway adjoining the same, shall
be fined twenty dollars"
After discussion, it was thought best
to have the law published in our coun'
~ papers, hoping that it might be the
means of better enforcement of the
law and an advantage to the farmers.
The person having charge of land
must clean the road as well as his land
or the Township Trustee can order it
done and the cost added to his taxes.
See Sec. 4732.
Now, brothA farmers clean up the
fence rows and burn all matured or
partly matured seed and let the coun-
try be rid Of all noxious weeds.
