"ygill you lunch with me at the

Knitting For the Nerves.


A curious story Of the late Rob
ert Louis Stevenson is related by
MI. David Graham Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips tells how Stevenson
was found at his hotel, in New
York, one day sitting up in bed
swiftly and assiduously knitting
Stevenson at the time Of the story
told by Mr.. Phillips was in the hab-
it of smoking a. great number Of
cigarettes daily. Frequently, in
deed, he smoked as many as hun
dred, and then would come times
when he would try to cut down the
amount. 1t was at one of these
times of cutting down that the Incl
dent mentioned took place.
As his visitor entered the room
Stevenson looked up, and bright
smile hghtened his gaunt face. But
he did not cease from his knitting.

Gandersheim, German village,
has recently been en- fete. The oc-
casion was the honoring of a hen
that had laid her thousandth egg.
Many of the houses were decorated
with flags, while in the evening the
proprietor of the hen entertained
his friends at supper, at which the
principal dish was gigantic ONE

success, and the health of the hen
was drunk with great enthusiasm.

The war in South Africa is
over, and the two little republics
are thing of the past. After
one Of the grandest struggles in
modern history the Beers and
Burghers have been obliged to
lay down their arms, and sur
render to the British. In the
struggle seventy thousand able
bodied men have lost their
health, and many of them have
already gone to their graves.
There were $4,000 deaths and
ten Thousand morehuman beings
are unaccoanted for. Although
a small territory the valiant
South Africanders have inflicted
some of the most staggering
blows upon the British that the
country has ever felt. The coun-
try has been devastated, and a
great country has been laid bare
and waste. The whole world
has been bound in sympathy
with the brave people who have
fought SO vigorously for the pre-
sersation of their little republics.

PEELED to admit that her foe was

AT THE Congressional Con-
gressional convention held at
Chippewa Falls last week John
J. Jenkins was renominated as
the candidate of the republican
party for Congressman from this
district. Mr.. Jenkins had no
opposition from any source, and
he will be reelected by the old
, time republican majority. There
was no contest in the convention
regarding anything. On the
outside there was a good deal of
quiet work regarding the nature
of the resolutions which were to
come before the convention.
Some of the LaFollette people
objected very strongly to any
thing outside of the endorse
ment of the Congressional candi-
date, while there was another set
of delegates who wanted to en-
dorse Governor LaFolette. How
ever, matters were fixed up be-
fore the convention was called,
and the result was the endorse
ment of Senators Spooner and
Quarles, without any reference
being made to the affairs Of the
state. While the completion of
the convention might not indi-
cate very much, yet poll of the
delegates showed a big majority
in the stalwart camp.
Honorable John z. Murphy, of
West Superior, presided over the.
deliberations of the convention,
and received the congratulations
of the delegates, for the manner.
in which he handled theaffairs of
the gathering. Ed. L. Peet, of
Grantsburg, was secretary.
Honorable FL. G. McRae, of Chip
pewa Falls, was reelected chair
man of the Congressional Com
mittee, and A. w. Mcleod, of
Washburn, was elected as the
member from Bayfield, county,
and is also secretary of the com
mittee. Congressman jenkins
was unable to be present at the
Convention, owing to the press of
business at Washington. In adj
dition to the Congressional mat
tiers state affairs attracted a
good deal of attention on the out
side. There were present at the
Convention L. n. Clausen, of this
city, and Hans F'uley, of Hay
ward, candidates for state treas
urer; and Rock J. Flint, of
Menomonie, and Joseph Farr, of
Phillips, candidatesfor secretary
of state. Graham L. Rice, rail
road commissioner, was also cir
culating among the delegates,
and it was intimated that Mr..
Rice was looking over the field
with view towards securing the
denomination for a third term.

The political contest in the
Eleventh Congressional district
has got up to the point where
state matters command the at
tention ofall republicans. There
are two sides to this question
which will be discussed great
deal within the next few weeks.
Let everyone remember that the
world is not coming to an end
no matter how the caucuses and
conventions go, and let everyone
.endeavor to be fair with the oppo-
sition. This little rumpus
throughout the. state will blow
over within a short time, and it
will not be long before Wiscon-

again, fighting for common

her hands, and she must deal
kindly and charitably with her
subdued people or she will find
! that the old farmers have still
more fight left.
| The forces seem to be spar
ring some for the coming contest
that is bound to be made for the
delegates to the state convention
from Bayfield, County. There
will be half breeds and stalwarts
that will have their stories to
enlist your sympathies, and the
final outcome will rest with the
voters when they gather at the
different caucuses on the last Of
the month. The TIMES has its
opinions regarding state affairs,
and they are SO pronounced that
our readers are very familiar
with them, still we believe that of
far greater Importance to our
people than the Governorship, is
the contest that will be precipi-
tated by the candidacy Of Mr.. l..
N. Clausen, of this city for state
treasurer. Mr.. Clausen ought
to have the entire and undivided
support Of the county, for the
reason that he is a formidable
candidate for state treasurer,
and that matter really ought to
be of more interest than any
thing else in determining how
the delegation from Bayfield,
county should be selected. Ism t
it of far greater Importance to
have delegation for Mr.. Clau-
sen than to have one either for
Mr.. LaFollette or Mr.. White
head? We believe it is.
On account of the increase of
the price of beef by the Beef
Trust the president has deter
mined to take drastic measures
and has ordered the fences on
public lands, illegally erected by
the Cattle Trust, torn down.
Practically al of Tuesdays Cab
met meeting was devoted to the
consideration of this step and the
outcome was the Executive order
outlined. 1t is the belief of the
President that the fencing of the
government lands by the large
cattle companies, to the exclu
sion OF the smaller ranchmen, is
partially responsible for the in
crease in the price of beef with
out a proportionate benefit to the
farmer, and he hopes by the
means indicated, to afford relief
both to the consumer and the
smaller ranchmen. There are
several delegations in Washing
ton at this time trying to secure
the passage of law whereby the
ranchmen may rent government
lands for pasture purposes and
fence them without violating the
law.

He SwOre Against Martin Luther In
Police Court.
The word of Mister Dooley was be-
neved in preference to that of Martin
Luther by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court yesterday.
Mister Dooley is a uniformed patrol
man, as those who frequent Emmett
Park and Police Court are aware. Mar
tin Luther is a 17-year-old negro about
a shade and three-fourths above the
average in complexion. Mister Dooley
Is known from one end of the country
TO the other as quite democratic and
diplomatic" and 1t is doubtful if I'M
der ordinary circumstances he would
have compelled Martin Luther to ride
an the patrol wagon
He was forced to do his duty how
ever. John Henry Augusta, the name
may have caused the patrolman to
shake in his shoes, demanded that Mar
tin he sent to the cooler for siapping
him about six and seven-eighths as
hard as the law permits. Martin OBJ
5ected and Mister Dooley lost his tenn
per for only minute. Then he yanked
his charge to the Gamewell box and
prepared to swear against him in Po-
lice Court. The oath of Mister Dooley
cost Martin IS, in default of which he
was instructed to spend fifteen DAYS
an the county Jail.

Aged Lady Injured by Trolley Car
Cannot Recover.
All hope for the recovery of Mrs. A.
Wilson, who was knocked down by a
trolley car at Park avenue and Aber-
corn streets, Friday afternoon, has
been abandoned. After an examination
and consultation at her home, No. 203
Park avenue, east. yesterday afternoon,
the attending physicians announced
that nothing could be done to save
her.
Mrs. Wilson is suffering from concus-
sion of the spine, and 1t is not believed
that she will live the day out. The ex-
animation was made by DR.. Thomas S.
Clay and DR.. b. p. Oliveros. 1t was
found that the muscles of the left side
were smashed" that the right hip
was injured, and that the end of the
spinal column was bruised, causing
conclusion of the spine. The injury
would have been serious with one much
younger than Mrs. Wilson.
Motorman H. w. Wright and Con-
ductor T. M. Sellers were arraigned
before Recorder Myrick in Police
Court yesterday and dismissed. 1t was
shown that the motorman did all In his
power to prevent the accident, and that
the car was not running as fast as is
permitted by the city ordinance gov
erning the running of trolley cars. Mrs
Wilson is deaf and heard neither the
shouts of Motorman Wright nor the
sound of the bell on the car
