James Wallis, of This City, Purchases
Famous Virginia Mansion Near
the Site of SpotsyIVania.
A HOME OF THE CONFEDERACY
During the War the Property Purchased
by Mr.. Wallis Was the Meeting
Place of Great Armies.

A real estate deal was completed in
this city this m orning whereby James
Wallis comes into possession of one of
the historic homes of Virginia. The
home in question is an old colonial
mansion and farm near the city of
Fredericksburg, Virginia. The old
mansion has stood for more than a
century and it is of great value as a
historic relic of the past. Located in
the center of Spotsy1vania county near
the seen of many of the most famous
battles of the civil war the old house
was for years a meeting place of the
Generals of the Confederate army and
the leaders of the cause of the Confed-
eracy. Near the old home the bloody
battle of Spotsy1vania Court House
was fought and after the battle the
leaders of the Southern army returned
to the house to spend the night and
prepare for the fight on the morrow.
Every bit of the AIS acres of land sur
rounding the house is historic ground,
on which was enacted some part of the
great struggle for the preservation of
lnC u u1Ou VI TIC oldlSSs Vi SOI1S
time the house has been kept up for it's
historic interest, but Mr.. Wallis will
use it as a farm home. The large
farm which is also purchased by Mr..
Wallis is regarded as one of the best
farms in Central Virginia. No changes
will be made in the old mansion, but
all the historical traditions of the
place will be allowed to remain intact
by the new owner.
Mr.. Wallis will take possession of
the property at once and will remove
his family to Virginia in the near flu
ture to make their home. No an
nouncement is made of the price paid
for the historic homestead, but the
deal is said to have been one of the
largest deals in Virginia real estate
made in several years.
The friends of Mr.. Wallis will wish
him the greatest success in his new
home. The sale of the old colonial
mansion to Mr.. Wallis is the first deal
made by the new Wisconsin Insurance
Agency Company, recently incorpor-
ated.

THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afaict their delicate or
ganism spring from Inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is a specific for catarrh in any organ OF
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. IF there is catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.

The evidences of unity in the Re-
pub1ican party are growing more NIL
merous and more apparent every day.
The sentiment against La Folletteism
is becoming crYsta1ized. The ranks
of the La Toilette faction are growing
beautifully less and less until it has
become possible for the most super
fetal observer to see that another
campaign will find the Republican
party standing, like Arthur, upon a
foe1ess field. The reasons for the La
Toilette falling off are manifest and
manifold. They are expressed IN part
in the quotations printed below from
some of the leading Republican papers
of the State who were jealous in his
support after his nomination a year
ago:
GAINESVILLE Gazette, Sta1wart Rep:
The mo tern refOrmer is usually a man
of one idea. If prohibition is his
hobby, he sees more evil in the traffic
of rum than in all other evils COM
bined. Gov La Toilette is a reformer
Of the one idea class. His am D1t1On is,
not to purify politics, that is only a
himsv preteXt, but to create for him
self a machine that will defy competi-
ton. He has large, round head, but
it isn't long enough to make the
scheme a success.
There are good many Republicans
in the State who do their own think
ing. Whi1e they may be ready to
adopt reform measures where reforms
are necessary, they are slow to endorse
theories, that are founded on personal
ambition, with nothing to recommend
them but the obstinate will of a dema-
gogue.
The people enjoy being humbugged
occasionally, but it requires an artist
of the Barnum class to prevent the
joke from becoming stale. The prim-
airy law racket is too gauzy to work
second time.

Quite little excitement was caused
on Main street Tuesday evening when
team belonging to John Bruins be-
came frightened at an umbrella which
had been placed in the middle of the
road and ran away. The team dashed
across Main street bridge scattering
load of lumber which was on the
wagon for several blocks along North
Main street. AS far as can be learned
no one was injured in the runaway,
but the wagon was badly damaged.
The police should take notice of these
umbrellas which are being placed in
the middle of the Nstreet.' Several &C
cidents shave been narrowly averted
and the workmen should be forced to
remove the umbrellas.

HAD A PLEASANT TRIP.

A number of people have already
been to Buffalo to take in the Pan
American Exposition. They report
the show as all that could be desired,
and that they had very pleasant trip.
They went by. way of Milwaukee,
taking the Pere Marquette steamer
across Lake Michigan, and from there
to Detroit by fast train, connecting at
Detroit with fast trains for Buffalo.
Some have gone by boat from Detroit,
and report delightful trip, the change
from rail to water riding being very
pleasant.

Washburn Times, Rep: The only
thing of particular concern to the pub
lie is the action of Gov. La Toilette in
firing a whole lot of State ofice-ho1d-
ers, aud among these were several old
soldiers. The Governor very likely
did not take the action in regard to the
old soldiers simply because they were
veterans, as is claimed, but they were
against him, and SO they had to go.
The Governor has laid down the rule,
and no one can get around it in any
manner. To be against La Folletteism
is to cease to work for the State of
Wisconsin. That's the way little Bob
is engaged in building up his machine.

In connection with the presentation
of this report Superintendent Baker
made verbal report that there would
certainly be deficit in the funds pro-
vided for this year. He stated that
there was now 81 300 in the bank and
that the expenses of the schools to the
first of January would amount to a
little over $13, $50.
Little other business of importance
was transacted by the board. The
contract for the repair of b1ackboards
was awarded to George Fay and the
committee on supplies was ordered to
secure bids for coal. The board then
adjourned.

Rice Lake Leader, Rep: And every
union veteran of the civil war, and
sons of veterans of the civil war, and
the sons-in-1aw of the veterans of the
civil war should oppose Mr.. La Toilette
and if nominated, vote against him at
the polls. Personally, we have no OBJ
lection to the discharge of veterans
who have held positions for a reason
able length of time, but we do protest
most vigorously against the removal
of veterans simply because they served
their country during the dark days of
the rebellion, to make places for men
who are not Republicans, but faction
lists. If Gov. La Toilette would ap-
point veterans as successors of those
let out, the old soldiers of the State
would not be impressed with the idea
that he had special spite against
them.

Appleton Post, Rep: They (the
Sta1warts), would especially have him
disabuse his mind of the idea that he
is commissioned to speak for the en-
tire Republican party in Wisconsin
and to "fay alive" all of his fellow
partisans who are bold enough to join
issues with him upon public questions.
Such a change of attitude, but which
we fear is too much to hope for, would
make it possible to thresh out contro-
versia1 questions in man fashion and
with mutual respect on the part of op-
posing elements.

Ex-Governor scoheld's Remedy.

In the meantime Ex-Governor SEQ
field is taking considerable interest in
the stories of the failures of the crops
in Southern Wisconsin and in an in
terview Tuesday in Milwaukee the ex-
governor said that if the farmers of
Southern counties would ship their
stock to Marinette and Oconto coun-
ties they could secure feed for them for
almost nothing. He holds that one
thirteen mile strip of good pasture
now owned by the company would be
sufficient to take care of large num-
Der of cattle and all the expense that
would be necessary would be for the
farmers to employ men to take care of
the cattle.
It is hardly probable that any of the
Kenosha county farmers will see fit to
accept the magnificent offer of the ex-
governor, but they will remember it
and the spirit in which it is made.

DAMAGE OVER ESTIMATED.
Well Known Authority Says That Loss
From Dry Weather is Less Than Report

From Dry Weather is Less Than Report
One of the best authorities on farm
ing in the county has taken exception
to the reports that are being given out
in regardto the failure of the crops in
Kenosha county on account of the
warm weather and this authority de-
c1ares that at the present time the Ke-
nosha crops promise an average yield.
While admitting that the pastures are
brown he declared that the hay crop
is far above the average and that the
oat crop which is now being harvested
will be an average yield. But his best
statement is in regard to the corn in
the country.
After trip about the country visit
ing many cornfe1ds he states that the
prospect for corr at the present time
is good. The corn is backward and
badly in need of rain, but the reports
that the crop is ruined is greatly ex-
aggerated. According to this author
ity none of the corn is fired, and while
small, it may bring bountiful crop.
In regard to the grass IN the pasture
lands little of it has, been killed as the
ground was so filled with moisture by
the winter rains that within a short
time the grass should be green again
with little rain.
While this statement of the crops in
the country does not entirely agree
with some of the statements that are
being sent out by the farmers it is
probably close to a true statement of
the conditions. With the bountifu1
crop of hay the farmers should be able
to care for their stock without being
forced to sell them at the low rates
now being paid on account of the gen.
era1 trend of farmers to rush their
stock into Chicago and other stock
centers.

ly do not understand. The "satiSfac-
tion" means not the satisfaction of
the Mayor, but the satisfaction of abe
judgment--the court seeing to 1t that
the Judgment is satisfied.
Then comes five cents each for filing
the papers in the case---the affidavit
and the warrant, and 81 for max ,ng
the record of the case. OF course the
Mayors clerk does more of this work,
but the Mayor gets the fees and pays
the clerk for doing it.
There are fees which used to go
to the City Marshal, and now go into
the city treasury since the Chief
Of Police Is paid regular salary.
Twenty cents mileage is allowed in
each case. 1t costs the prisoner 40
cents to hear the warrant read to
him, and he has to hear it whether
he wants TO or not. Another 20 cents
is charged for the attendance of an
officer in Court. This makes 80 cents
and with the Mayors fees, $3.50,
makes two and costs means $3.50
or more every time.
There are other fees to be collected

the bill.

house for intoxioation Friday,
amounted to SLIGO. When he gets
through with his original sentence of
80 days, he must serve out the fine and
costs, If they are not paid in cash, at
the rate of so cents per day.
Taking Wormolds case as an exam.
ple,, the following is an itemzed ac.
count of the costs accruing: Affidavit
and warrant so cents; recording, 81;
/ judgment and satisfaction 60 cents;
filing papers, % cents; trail 81; three
continuances at 20 cents each, 60 cents
mitimus, 40 cents; swearing four

and attendance, so cents.
Wormold had pleaded not guilty tc
n charge of intoXication. In his case
the witnesses against him were police
men and were not formally sub
poenaed, so his costs were so much
the less.

Mr.. Bender Tells of the
Robbery.
Correspondents Sent
Out False Accounts.
What the New York Sun Says
About the Robbery.

Mr.. Fl. G.. Bender whose loss Of
diamond ring. while on a visit to
New York was exploited with more
or less sensational features by the
correspondents for out-of-town papers,
returned home last evening.
He informed the Democrat that he
had recovered the ring, which he
values at $3.50, and that the accounts
of the robbery sent out by the cor
respondents We're a tissue of false
hoods, The report published in
special to the cleveland Plain Dealer
to the effect that a woman was con-
cerned in the case Mr.. Bender declares
to be wholly inaccurate, and unjust
to him. Just before the thief who had
stolen Mr.. Bender's ring was taken to
one of the New York Police stations,
woman had been brought In there,
and the newspaper men got the arrest
of this woman confused with the rob-
berry case.
The most accurate account of the
robbery was published by the New
York sun, as follows:
Horace Bender, of Akron. o., was
sitting in the corridor of the Grand
hotel last night when young man
approa ached him with the remark that
it was terrible.

suggested a drink. Mr.. Bender ac'
cepted, In the cafe there happened
to be the new friends friend, and he
was introduced, The three went to a
nearby saloon and then to several
more of them, In each of which Mr.

drinks. He was asked to bet $3.50
