NOT THAT KIND OF HONEY.

A western journal tells TIE following
joke on & travelling man which in all
probability is untrue:

known commercial traveller who made
Galena He was passionately fond of
honey, and the proprietor of the
Galena Hotel, at which he stopped,
always had some on hand for him. On
one trip Anderson took his wife along,
and as he approached Galena he men,

that night no honey appeared, and An

PROOF THAT OUR SOIL IS
FERTILE.

In the show window of John p.
Hume's land office are exhibited some
excellent proofs of the fertility of the
soil hereabouts, in the form of a group
of farm products brought to the city
recently. A monster apple grown by
Geo. A MorehouSe is thirteen inches in
circumference; ears of white flint corn
an even foot in length were grown by
James kenney, of Rockville; John
Haas, big potatoes, samples of the crop
of 200 bushels to the acre raised by him;
j. NJ yroman, of Lindsey, and A. NJ.
Short, of Auburndale, also had fine ex-
hibitS of potatoes: Wan. Burhopp, of
Riehlield, showed sugar cane which
yielded forty gallons of syrup from one
fourth of an acre of cane. This is
new crop for Central Wisconsin; John

In reply to the question, what is an
editors" an exchange very truthfully
gives the following:
An editor is one who reads newspa-
pers, selects miscellany, writes articles
on all subjects, sets type, reads proof,
works on the press, folds, packs and
directs papers, and sometimes carries
them, prints jobs, runs errands, saws
wood, runs the lawn mower, works in
the garden, takes care of the babies and
rocks the cradle, talks to all his patrons
who call, patiently receives blame for a
thing that never can be done, has
scarce time to enjoy natures restorer,
sleep, and esteems himself particularly
fortunate if he is not assaulted by some
unprinoipled demagogue who loves
puppet shows and hires the rabble with
a glass of brandy to raise him to some
petty Office. That's an editor.

Last Wednesday forenoon, Carl Hauf-
schild, who resides at SO6 Park avenue,
came very near meeting with a fatal
accident. He was assisting in laying
sewer pipe into the rear of the PILOT
building. He was in . trench about
nine feet deep. The earth near the
wall was loose and filed with debris
and caved in upon him burying him
clear to his neck, and there was still
several feet hanging over him. There
was crew of five or six men working
in the basement of the building and
they soon had the man out, but he was
unable to do any work the balance of
the day. Thos. Delaney, who had the
contract for putting in the sewer, had
left instructions to plank that part of
the ditch near the wall; this was not
done, hence the accident 1t was a mar
row escape.

The case of R. Connor Lumber CO.,
of Stratford, VS.. James g. Goodwillie,

THE PASSING OF LUMBERING.

!
The Lacrosse Chronicle publishes an
article on the passing of numbering in
the Badger state. After speaking of
the number of mills which have closed
down and the few now in operation in
that city, it goes on to say:
THE OLD RATS.
Rats of three million feet of logs
which few years ago were an every
day sight on the river are seen no more,
and the great army of laborers which
were factor of the giant industry has
also disappeared, having either gone
to the scenes of active operations in
their line or taken up other means of
livlihood. 1t is estimated that the
amount of lumber sawed in this city
during the season just closing is about s
per cent. of the lumber sawed here
during 1898 and seasons prior to that.
THE LUMBER JACKS.
During the busy days of the logging
industry one of its many interesting
features was the lumber jacks
These men who usually worked in the
harvest fields in autumn commenced
coming to this city preparatory to leav-
ing for the lumber camps in the north
ern part of the state, about October 10,
and about week later hundreds OF
them would leave for the north with
large droves of heavy horses and equip
ment These, too, have in manner
disappeared from the city. Where a
few years ago thousand men went to
the woods from Lacrosse there are not
more than one hundred who will go
this season.
OTHER INDUSTRIES COME.
Local lumbermen say that while the
lumber business in this state is practi-
cally a thing Of the past, the loss has
not been greatly felt, especially in this
city. In the ruins of the numbering in
dustry have sprung up other industries
and where some of the biggest Lacrosse
lumber mills stood three years ago
have been built new factories which
employ probably as many men and are
as good-probably better-in every way
than the lumber industry
THE PATHETIC SIDE.
There is one feature to the lumber
business, however which no other in
dustry can substitute; that is the ro-
mantle feature. In a business way
numbering could hardly be called ro-
mantle, but to the white haired river
man who has been brought up on the
river and in lumber camps, the deep
shuddering whistle of the raftboat, the
screeching grind of the mills and the
sight of the logs is like tried and true
friend By long association it has
gained his sympathies. The wrecking
of rafter affects him like the death of
a dear frier I And as the numbering
industry GO, 5 into history this veteran,
tried and ttue, .n.y he seen standing
alone at the waters edge gazing long
ingly at the silent sweep of the river
and seeing, through the eyes of mem
DRY, the scenes when numbering was at
its height.

Our Island Possessions.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has declared Porto Rico to he
Territory, and under the control of
Congress. This decision simplifies
matters in regard to that Island. and
indicates that It will have to go
through the regular formula pursued
by the Territories in becoming States
of the Union. In the meanwhile Con-
gress will manage it's affairs just as
the affairs of the District of Columbia
and the Territories are managed.
If this opinion Is held in regard to
Porto Rico, we suppose the court will
hold to the same ruling whenever the
case OF the Philippine Islands comes
before them, Our possessions on the
Asiatic coast may therefore be regard
ed as simply Territorial acquisitions.
to be admitted as States, whenever
in the wisdom Of Congress they are
fitted and entitled to recognition as
such.

The School Book Controversy.

On the 9th Of April we published in
these columns a set of resolutions
adopted by the Caddo school board,
cOndemning the text books used in
the public schools az altogetherunde-
sirable for further use. At that time
we expressed our approval of this
sentiment, and called upon the Grant
parish school board to join in the de-
mand for a change.
Since then we are glad to learn that
Gov. Heard has given heed to the de-
mand for change Of books, and ta-
ken an active hand inforcing the book
trust to loosen it's clutches ON the
monopoly that is sapping the life
blood and destroying the usefulness
of our public school system. AT a
late meeting of the State board, the
governor asked the board tp give
him ten days in which to examine in
to this question and have experts
pronounce upon the utility and fitness
OF the books in use. A majority OF
the hoard refused to grant the COVER
nor the ten days asked for this pur-
pose. Whereupon Gov. Heard pro-
ceeded to show the majority OF the
members Of the State board that he
had a backbone to fully equal the
gall and discourtesy they had shown
in their zeal and determination to
support the book trust at all hazards.
So he calmly informed the gentle
men that he did not think the public
interest could I've served by board
SO divided in it's views of what was
right and proper, and he asked that
they at once hand In their resigna-
tions, SO he could appoint a board
more in harmony with his views of
the situation! 1t was a sumner. not
to be misunderstood. and they did SO
at once, in shame and confusion.
The people of Louisiana heartily
approve the governors action in this
matter, and be has raised himself
many degrees in their estimation by
his show of courage and devotion to
principle. Let us hope the new hoard
will act ut once in giving us a set Of
text books more in keeping with the
age in which we live. and that the
old Anticipated books and methods
will be relegated to the limbo Of OBJ
security.

Both Should be Defeated.

Senator's McLaurin and Tillman
have resigned their seats in the U. s.
Senatein order to take part in a vain
glorious personal contest. Now is
the time for South Carolina to get
rid of pair of pestiferous demagog-
ues. Tillman says McLaurin is not a
Democrat, and McLaurin says Till
man is Populist of the wild and
woody type. We believe both OF them
know what they are talking about,
and the Democrats OF the Palmetto
State should shelve the pair of them.
