story Of Anglo-Saxon courage and
daring. It was on the night of jan
uary IA, 1915, that the President,
having just returned from Boarding
the lion in his den," was chased into
Long island sound, near New York
harbor, by q British feet. In com
mand of her was the adventurous
Decatur, whose capture and burning
Of the Philadelphia in the harbor Of
Tripoli in 1904 Nelson pronounced
the most daring act of the age
At daybreak on the 18th, the Pres
ident, having grounded and strained
herself during the night, was again
under sail. Decatur then discovered
that four Of the enemy's ships were
in pursuit, n on each quarter and
two astern. At noon the breeze fell.
The Yankee frigate was almost wa
terlogged.
"a favoring breeze brought on the
Endymion, the most powerful Of the
pursuing fleet. She opened fire with
her bow chasers, to which Decatur
replied with his stern battery. This
running fight continued for two hours
and the Endymion was SO disabled
that she avoided Decatur's efforts to
come to close quarters. For hours
the two ships sailed side by side, fir
ing occasional guns. But towards
midnight two fresh English ships,
the Pomone and the Tenedos, crawled
up and opened fire on the President
at close range. Decatur was COM
PEELED to strike his colors. His loss
was "a killed. and IS wounded.
The loss Of the President was in
vestigated by a court-martial, but
Decatur was exonerated of blame.

TALLY a politician, but one far above
the average. What the future and its
duties may develop in him remains to
be seen. He has always arisen to the

occasional demand.
Mayor Rose was born in the town Of
Darlington, Wis, and has been by
birth and training a thorough badger.
At the age Of II he began the study,
Of law. He was elected mayor of OAR
ilington in 1883 and in the same year
was a delegate to the democratic ma
tional convention in Chicago. He was
chosen county judge of Lafayette
county the next year, in which capac-
ity he served three years. He was de-
feated for city attorney in 1900 and>for
congress in 1894. He was chosen may
or Of Milwaukee in 1898, reelected in
1900 and again last spring was the
successful candidate. Mayor Rose is
an indefatigable worker. He counts
no labor too great to accomplish his
ends and is conducting q strong cam
paign. He is . lover Of good horses
and no sight is more familiar in Mil
waukee than thatAof Mayor and Mrs.
Rose in q spanking turnout riding be-

the Rose home are endowed with tai
ent and good sense. Earl, the son and
the elder, is in the University Of Wis

which is a trife misleading. The lord
mayor elect doubtless never made q
pair of spectacles in his life, nor did
any of his fathers before him. The
term is intended to signify simply
that he belongs to the naughty and
powerful guild known as the Spec
tacle-makers' company. Sir Marcus is
one of the great city bankers and
rich. He will get a salary exactly
equal to that of the president Of the
United States, and will have to spend
almost twice as much on banquets,
formalities, ceremonials and general
gorgeousness.
One of the brightest and most IA
nous of American newspaper corre-
spondents came to London recently
with an elaborate schedule of articles
all laid and ready to- write. One Of
them was headed something like this:

lord mayor, however, has no more to
do with ruling the greatest city on

boken. The actual resident popula-
ton Of his city is something like
$4,000, and its total area is one square
mile. And even at that, he has noth-
ing to do with ruling over it. It
happens, however, that his little
patch Of territory in the middle Of
greater London contains the banking
district and used to be the undisputed
financial center of the world until
Wall street rose up to contest honors
with it. So it is entitled to pay $780,

Federal court.

Judge Garland Of the United States
court at Sioux Falls has sentenced Ed
Anderson, an Indian, to six months
in the state ~penitentiary. Anderson
pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with forging the name
of the payee to a postal money order.
In the letter was a money order for
$40, which he signed and had cashed.
Frank Williams, a negro; Henry
Quinn, an Indian; William S. Howard,
Stephen Jones, an Indian, and Frank
Mullen, were sentenced to pay fines
of 500 each and serve terms of three
months each for selling liquor to In
dams.
A case which has been pending for
some months against Quincy Ed
wards, son of the postmistress at
Memo. a town in the Black Hills, for
forging a postal money order, has
been dismissed. Edwards was under
Indictment for forging a money or
der, which was cashed at the LeMars,
Iowa, postoffice. The case was dis
missed on the ground that he already
had been tried for the offense in the
United States court for Iowa, and that
to press the suit against him in the
federal court of this state would be
trying him twice for the same crime.

Many piscouraued.

With the approach of the huskine
season most Of the farmers are losing
confidence in the corn crop. Many
are discouraged over the situation.
The fields everywhere indicated an
uncommonly fine crop with a heavy
yield, but close investigations de-
veloped the fact that the late frosts
last spring, the unusual amount of
rain curing the summer, and the
early frosts this fall have worked a
vast amount of damage. The crop
was not only pr~ematurely ripened,
but much of it is soft an. unsound.
A large proportion of the ears are
only half developed and about all Of
them are loose on the cob and very
light in weight. The best farmers
think there will be little if any corn
throughout this country fit for mar
keting or cribbing, and a large ma
jority are purchasing all the cattle
they "a get to feed out their crop
as rapidly as possible.

state PenItentIarx.

In the report of the warden of the
penitentiary he shows that 100 pris-
oners were confined in that institu-
ton June 80, 1902, and 1874 on June 80,
1900; that the per capita cost of main
tenance for the term from July 1,
1900, to June 80, 1901, was $267.11,
while the per capita cost from July
1, 1901, to June 80, 1902, was S215.35
At the same time he declares that a
larger appropriation is required to
meet the heavier expenses of caring
for an increasing number Of prison
ers.
He recommends some kind Of a
manufacturing plant within the pris-
on walls to keep the men employed,
as the number has become so large
that it is not possible to keep them
all at work on the farm or in the
quarries. In this he suggests follow
ing the line of Minnesota, which has,
through it's binding Irvine plant made

The report of the reform school
shows an average of lightweight in
mates a month for the last year. The
farm receipts for the last year of the
Tompkins management were $277,
while for the past year, under the
new management, the receipts were
$3.50, a decided saving in the ex-
penses of operation is shown.

New RULING

NEW HuIIn9.
The general land Office has made a
ruling that places the issuance of pat
ents to mineral lands within the jur-
isdiction of the officers of the forest
reserve in the Black Hills. When en-
try is made for patent the forest
ranger whose district includes the
land in question is required to report
as to the mineral character of the
land. His report is transmitted
through the forest supervisor over
him. In this way the general land
Office becomes satisfied that the land
for which application is made is more
valuable for mineral than for agri-
cultural purposes or for the timber it
contains.

THE CATARRH OF SUMMER.
Two Letters from Thankful Women Who Were Cured of
Catarrh of the Stomach by Pe-rll-na.

Catarrh of the stomach is usually
called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured by pepsin powders or
any. other temporary relief. The only
cure for real dyspepsia is a removal of
the catarrh from the mucous mem
brane of the stomach. This Pertna
will do. This Peruna has done thou
sands and thousands of times.
Congressman Botkin of Kansas was
cured of catarrh of the stomach of
many years standing. Hundreds of
other cases have been reported to us
through. unsolicited testimonials Pc
runa is the only internal systemic rem
edy for catarrh yet devised. Every
one afflicted With catarrh in the-slight-
est degree ought to take a course of
Peruna.
