Governor as a Reformer.

Waushara Argus: No one who is
familiar with Governor La Toilette S
acts for the past six or eight years
can find anything in them that will
warrant the belief that his interest
in any measure of reform extends be-
ycund that point which will aid his
political advance ment. He talks re-
form not for reforms sake but to aid
him in satisfying his political am
billions. If anyone doubts this let
them point to any act of his 10 ad-
vocacy of any measure before the
Legislature of any committee of the
Legislature where such measure was
bending. Let them show when he
has taken an active part in discuss
ing before the public anything for
the Improvement of existing condi-
tions except when he was asking for
the votes of the people or paving his
way to get in a position to ask for
votes. When people who are inter
ested in measures pending before
the legislature will go from one end
of the state to the other to appear
before the committee which has it
under consideration is it not little
singular that Mr.. LaFollette, who is
lawyer and an orator, who could
90 before the Legislature or a COM
mittee thereof without going more
than quarter of the distance Is is
from his home to his Office or frac-
ton of the distance it is from the
executive mansion to the executive
office, should not do SO If he had a
burning desire To secure the passage
of any measure for the benefit of tie
people? The fact is Mr. La Toilette
has few hobbies which be enjoys
riding when they are headed toward
the office of his ambition, but just as
soon as the impossibility of reae hing
the office becomes apparent then his
interest ceases and he refuses to
play. His ambition for office is far
greater than his desire for reform,
and unless he can be the medium
Through which a reform is brought
about he loses that interest which
would possess one who advocates
reform for reform s sake.
| Both he and his friends mistake his
true cha q ter. They mistake stub
/ bornness for courage; desire to die
tate detailsfor uaswerving fidelity TIC
principle; lack of tact and Judgment
for superior honesty OF purpose; thee
retical absurdities and sharp politi-
cal practices for great statesman
ship; desire to advance his own
interests for concern for The public
veal In his opinion and the opinion
of some Of his followers, to differ with
him is crime of which none but
rascals would be guilty.

at which time the Court will decide
whether or not the order will become
permanent. Since the order of the
Circuit Court commands that the
road be maintained and operated and
the order of the federal court calls
for the dismantlement of the road
there is something of a conflict be-
tween the United States and the
state of Wisconsin in the matter.
One gentleman who is much interest
ed in the matter put the matter in
the following manner: sWe are
fighting the same as our fathers
fought in 1861; it is a question as to
whether or not we shall have states
rights The war OF the rebellion is
on again, and we propose to see tle
matter clear through
District Attorney Mcleod vert to
Phillips Friday afternoon, where
Judge Parish was holding Court.
The writ was issued and Mr.. Mcleod
was home the following morning.
The papers were served the same
afternoon.
1t was announced last week that
Saturday would be the last day in
which the road would operate, and
on Saturday the road refused to ac-
cept freight for shipment. The local
passenger train was to have made
its last trip Saturday night. How
ever the officers of the road did not
seem inclined to disobey or ignore
the order of the Circuit Court and
the passenger train continued to run
Monday, but quit again Tuesday.
The general conclusion and con-
census OF opinion seems to be that
the Receiver, Mr.. Frost, was about
TO begin the work of tearing up the
main line. Whether or not he had
done anything towards interesting
any of the large railroads TO take
hold OF the enterprise does not APP
pear, but it is certain that nearly
two months ago he gave Pease & Co.
an option on the rails along the main
line. Mr.. Frost was interested IN
The road early in the game, and not
once since he has had the manage
ment of the concern, either directly
as receiver, or Indirectly tn ough his
agents, has he ever exh bited the
least spirit of concern as to the pub
lie interests with which his road has
been identified. He has undoubted
ly been one of the pril cipal oenefi-
Charles of the road, and has had a
hand in the disposition Of the bonds,
was one of the interests in freezing
the county out of it's $l85,0oO of
stock in the enterprise, and new he
seems to be pursuing the same bull
dog tactics that have actuatpd and
inspired him from the beginning.
Judge Hayden and Mr.. Mcleod be-
lieve they can prevent the tearing up
of the road, and during last week
they worked night and day prepar
ing for the big fight that is on.
Their well known staying qualities,
and the interest both feel in keeping
the road where it is, means that it
will not come up without a big fight
and bitter struggle.

hot fat makes good breakfast dish Or
II few ears are roasted (taking great
care not to burn it and then cut quickly
off the cob with a sharp knife, buttered
and seasoned well, and served very hot,
either by itself or in an omelet, it will
be found highly popular dish at most
tables.
Another simple but admirable way of
cooking green corn is to stew it with
milk in a double boiler. Cut the corn
from the ear by scoring each row of
kernels lengthwise, slicing them on
quite thinly, and then with the back of
the knife pressing out the cream and
germ of the kernel, leaving the skin on
the cob. This is the proper way to pre-
pare the corn for all the more compli-
Gated modes of cooking. For quart
of corn add a half pint Of rich milk, and
let it simmer for half an hour, stirring
occasionally Just before taking up add
salt. pepper white preferred) and a
generous lump of the best butter.
For succotash cook in this way, add
ing Lima or butter beans which must
be cooked for half an hour separately
before putting with the corn.
Tomatoes. instead of beans, make an
other excellent combination. These
0first sliced after taking off the skim
also need longer cooking than the corn,
ana should therefor be put over the fire
half an hour by themselves before add
ing the corn. Season highly with salt,
butter and cayenne.
Fritters made of green corn are so
good that liberal dish is generally re-
ouired Cut off the corn as before, add
two well-beaten eggs to each quart. and
flour enough to make a soft batter 1t
is impossible to give the exact quantity,
as the corn varies in solidity so much.
Add a saltspoonful of salt and one OF
sugar. il the corn is at all lacking in
sweetness. Drop in hot fat and cook
like other fritters; drain we'll, and serve
very hot.
Delicious mullins are similarly made,
using a little more -four. They may be

taken up.
A good thing to know is to put bowl
of fresh water, at night, In a room
where men have been smoking. In the
morning you will find that 1t has COM
pletely absorbed all odor. provided you
either burn or throw out all cigar ENDS

Middletown transcript., 1901-01-19
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY

For the third time in little more than
two years, an attempt was made to rob
the Middletown post Office on Monday
morning January 14th, but unlike the
two former attempts this one failed. As
the burglars were scared off before. OBJ
tanning an entrance. This was due to
the nerve of policeman Dixon who
while returning home about l o'clock
heard loud noise from the direction of
the Town Hall. Upon his investigating
the matter it was found that the noise
was made by the falling of the heavy in
side shutter in the rear Of the post office
which had been forced from its hinges
and the steel bar securing it had also
been broken. When he approached the
alley leading to the back of the hall he
saw man coming out and in the alley,
two more. These two when hailed by
him fed across the fences and yards of
the adjoining properties, their speed be-
ing accelerated by couple Of shots from
the policeman's revolver. Although he
tried to trace them he was unable to dis
cover in which direction they had gone
after reaching Main and Cass streets
He then called Joseph C. Jolls a clerk
in the post office and as the
the damage could not be repaired until
morning, the two stood watch until the
arrival of Postmaster JolIs. The men

evidently saw that things were not favor
able for visit and left The two watchers
heard them moving in the backyard and
quietly awaited an attempt to enter,
when they could propably have captured
at least one of the thieves. It is probable
that this is part of the same gang that
was here in December, 1893, one o.
whom, Pottsville Red is now serving
time in New Castle Jail, being convicted
Of the Bavarian Brewery robbery. De-
tectives are already on the trail of these
men, and will no doubt run them down.
