are even.

SCIENTIFIC men who have made a
study of the causes of lightning flashes
in electric storms, and the means of pro-
lection from being struck by bolt, say
that metals on the person, like knives,
etc, have no influence, that feather beds
are no protection, that the notion that
lightning will not strike twice in the
same place is false notion, and that the
only real satisfaction one can have in a
thunder storm, as to safety is, if one
lives to see the flash, they are safe for
that time. They advocate long and per-
sistent efforts to resusctate those who
are stricken, as many who have been
thought dead have been restored after
an hours efforts. They calculate that
where an electric storm prevails the
chances of being struck are about one in

JOice Wants to Settle

J. III. Joice, former cashier of the de-
funct Stoughton bank, who is under ar
rest for alleged violation of the banking
laws prohibiting the receiving of deposits
when bank is insolvent, is arranging
settlement with creditors of the bank,
whereby they are likely to receive nearly
the full amount of their claims. When
his case was called for preliminary hear
ing in the municipal court at Madison,
on Wednesday, his attorneys secured
continuance until Sept. 8, on the grounds
that Il settlement was pending between
Joice and the creditors of the bank, and
that there seemed every reason to be-
lieve that it would be successfully car
ried out. This is the fifth time the case
has been continued and the prospects
are that Joice will escape criminal pros
ecution. When the bank failed in June,
1885, its liabilities were about $4,000.
Since then the creditors have received
50 per cent of their claims. OF the $780,
900 still due, |. O. Brictson, of Deerfeld,
owes $4,000, and it is expected that he
will soon be able to pay large per cent
of this. The Joice family will make up
enough more to pay the claimants near
lY in full.

WITHOUT wishing to carp unnecessar-
lily one cannot help wondering at the
amazing foolishness of the man who
thinks he can be for Spooner and La
Toilette in the impending fight. Every
thing the two men represent is entirely
different, and in addition to that fact,
the governor hates the senator with the
intenseness of Sioux Indian. Besides
the above facts, there remains the addi-
tional one that Gov. La Toilette is under
financial and other obligations to Ieaac
Stephenson, whose main object in life is
to defeat Spooner, and pay off old
grudges. Taking all these points into
consideration, the man who tries to sup
port the senator and the governor, has
picked harder job than he would have
