Brown set the time and the place for
the "cussing out" as we would call 1t.
AS programmed, General Zollicoffer
made his appearance upon the corner
of Cherry and Cedar streets at O'Clock
the next morning, and Marling stepped
out Of his Office, nearby, at the same
moment. It was with a wide and
scorchirg vocabulary Of profanity that
General Zollicoffer opened his lex
change Of compliments with Marling.
AS he concluded in peroration partic-
ularly lurid the latter responded with
a ball from a derringer, and in half u
minute both men were playing upon
each other with their pistols. The first
shot from Markings gun had struck
that belonging to General Zollicoffer
near the trigger and had temporarily
disabled it, but calmly and coolly he
repaired the slight damage while under
Markings fire, and then, taking deliber-
ate aim, he fired, and Marling dropped
to the sidewalk. He was not dead.
however. General Zollicoffer's bullet
had struck him on the forehead and
had felled him, but he soon afterwards
recovered, and 1t was not long after
wards that President Pierce appointed
him consul to the Guatemalan repub-
lie.
The climate in that Central American
country ruined Markings health and he
was forced to return to his native
heath. He came up from New Orleans
by boat on his way home and when II
arrived at the wharf in Nashville there
was a large crowd assembled to well
come him. It was this assemuiage
which attracted General Zollicoffer's
attention, and by the incident which
transpired we learn another side Of his
character.
Upon inquiry he learned that Mr..
Marling was the centre Of attraction
and he pushed through the people un-
til he came to his side, where he cor
daily extended his hand and had 1t as
cordially grasped by Marling. 1t was
with unfeigned pleasure that the two
erstwhile enemies "exchanged compli-
ments" with such a difference in tenor
from the first time they met that every
one gossiped about 1t.
General Zollicoffer spoke sincerely
when he asked Mr. Marling If the
wound which he had inflicted had beer
the cause Of his ill-health, and upon be-
ing reasured that such was not the
case. though mischief-makers had
spread a report to that effect. he not
only expressed his qualification that the
shot had not been the cause Of his sick
ness, but he also extended his sympa-
thy over the suffering he was undergo
ing on account of the climate Of Guate-
mala. Such was the character Of two

Timber Land for Agriculture.
"The lands from which the
tim Der has been cut will make
the best agricultural land in the
state and will increase in value.
There is no better farm land in
Wisconsin today than in Oconto
county, where it was all pine
wilderness, thirty-tive years ago
when I came to that city. The
more land you can get under the
pillow the better. If we can pro-
cure good food cheaply the peo-
pie can make places in which to
live all right.
''The farms on the former
timber lands are capable of rails
ing anything which can be raised
in any part of the state. [ have
faith in Northern Wisconsin
and believe that it is destined to
be one of the greatest agricul-
tural centers of the west.
"The lumber centers are being
constantly moved to the west
and to the south. There is little
left in this part of the country
and within ten years there will
be practically none"
Mr.. Scofeld and his son
George returned from Idaho,
where they examined $4,000
acres Of tim Der land which they
intend to purchase if they can
secure clear titles. Mr.. Scofeld
said that nothing could be done
before spring and that he would
spend the winter at Oconto. It
is not his purpose to give up
Wisconsin as his place of resi-
dence.

oftheir gunboats down tovlsitthe
dead beat creditor. There has
been considerable talk that the
Monroe doctrine is not being
upheld, and that the venerable
old policy of our government IL
not being maintained. But this
is all bosh! There is very clear
ly an understanding between the
United States and the allied po-
wers Of Germany and England
in reference to Venezuela. The
Germans and English are not
seeking to obtain territory, and
are legitimately endeavoring to
enforce the collection of honest
obligations long past due from
Venezuela. The United States
has declared strict neutrality IN
the matter, and all the conditions
of the controversy makes it such
that the dispute is clearly no at
fair of ours. The United States
will at all times maintain the
doctrine Of Monroe, and will not
permit any European power to
acquire territory that does not
rightfully belong to it in South
America, but it will not at any
time help a dishonest debtor to
escape paying it's accounts-and
that is all the trouble is in South
America now.

years it will be impossible to

it keeps up as at present." said

mand will not keep up. Other

"None of the big buildings are
built of lumber now. Steel and

would not be in trouble today if
it were not for the Monroe doc

hope to win out in their dead

left alone to themselves Venezue-
la would have had no other choice
than to have given proper salts
faction to Germany and England,
but the hope of Intervention and
prevention on the part of the
United States in upholding the

preted by Venezuela: caused the
little republic to assume a be-
ligerent and offensive attitude.

SENAICR JCEN G.. SPCONE
has written letter in which he
says that he will be pleased to
accept another term as United
States Senator, and expresses
his appreciation of the handsome
endorsement given him in the
Legislative conventions through
Outthe state. Onehundred and two
members of the legislature have
Voluntarily pledged themselves
to vote for the return of Mr..
Spooner. The Senator says that
the conditions that existed two
years ago when he wrote his
famous letter saying he would
not be a candidate for another
term, no longer exist. and mas
much as no other candidate has
entered the contest he feels that
he can honorably accept the posi-.
ton which has practically been
rendered him by members
elect of the legislature. The
statement is clear and plain, and
is just about what was expected
to come from Mr.. Spooner.
With the exception Of the fac
tional snarlings of the Milwau-
kee Free Press it has evidently
been we'll received in every part
OF the state. But the puckered
condition of the Free Press is
not surprising-that paper has
a chronic habit of speaking
abusively and slurringly of
many republicans in the state
who do not happen to agree with
it upon a few minor points of
political opinion. The Free
still insists that every person in
Wisconsin must approve from
the house-tops, each and every
clause of the republican platform
or they are not republicans.
And inaSmuch as Mr.. SpOOner
has not seen fit to stultify him
self by saying that he "believed"
in primary elections, the Free
Press cannot see how it is that
he can be member of the repub-
lican party. Such a narrow
spiritness is pathetic when found
in a great paper which is the &C
knowledged personal organ of
the Chief Executive of the state
OF Wisconsin. If it were found
in some of the "up-s6ate hire
ling organs" that the Free Press
is pleased to speak of so often,
when referring to stalwart
papers, it would perhaps be
overlooked; but broad thinking
public men and editors should
know that there is rarely ever
state or national platform that is
accepted in its entirety oy
the members of the party
which it represents. Up
on the broad principle of party
ism there is common ground.
Matters of detail in principle are
things that must be attended to
within the party. tits no more
reasonable to expect that each
and every republican will stand
for every party plank than it is
to suppose that every voter
would desire the nomination of
the same candidate for some
particular Office. Because Mr..
Spooner has not said he favored
primary elections the Free Press
would ride him out of the repub-
lican party, and deny him
another term in the United
States Senate, even though the
whole state demands his return.
Such factional narrowness is to
be pitied.

Do you really want to get rid of your
catarrh? If you could get treatment by
a good physician for two or three cents
a day would you take it? The MacKen-
zie treatment isn't ''patent" but re-
liable method for curing Catarrh, de-
vised by Sir Morell MacKenzie-the
great English nose and throat special
Ist. 1t is convenient; it costs but two or
three cents per pay and it gives perma-
nent relief. Physicians the world over
have agreed with Mackenzie that the
nasal passage is the original seat of ca
tarrh and from that point it spreads by
contagiOn and absorption, injecting the
blood, the stomach and in time the
whole system. The Mackenzie treat
ment is the only home treatment which
in conformity with the above fact, re
moves the local inflammation In the nasal
passage and at the same time destroys
the pOisOg which has infected the other
parts of the body.
Local treatment stops the purulent
discharge in the nose and the cOnse
uuent dropping of the infected mucus
into the throat. Have you ever stop
ped to consider that the two little tubes
leading from the throat to the ears are
often infected by that poisonous mucus:
And did you know that it is this infec-
ton and inflammation of those tubes that
causes nine-tenths of the deafness with
which so many people are troubled?
Stop its progress now. Stop the ca
