FARM BUILDINGS DESTROYED
Bad Fire occurs at the Farm of James Nc
Convey Near Wheatland.
(FrOm Fridays DailY.l

Reports from the town of Wheatland
this morning state that the farm build
ings Of James McGovney, who resides
near the Illinois state line, were com
plete1y destroyed by fire during the
night entai1ing a loss Of more than
two thousand dollars. The fire started
in one of the barns on the farm and is
supposed to have been started by
tramps who had sought a lodging in
the barn. The flames spread rapidly
to the surrounding buildings, but with
the prompt assistance of neighbors all
the cattle in the barns were rescued.
The loss from the fire will be in the
neighborhood of two thousand dollars
and is partially covered by insurance.
It is reported that since the tramps
have been driven out of the cities be-
tween Milwaukee and Chicago they
have gathered in great crowds in the
country districts and in some cases
they have proved menace to the in
terests and the property of the farm
ers. Some effort will be made to have
the deputy sheriffs in the different
towns clear the county of tramps.

A FINE LECTURE.
Mr.. BENEFITS Lecture on Paris was
Well Attended Thursday Night.

Mr.. r. ]. Bennett was at his best
Thursday evening, as he gave his IL
Illustrated lecture on "Paris before an
audience that packed the Congrega-
tional church, and the presentation
proved to be the most popular number
of the course. The lecture was inter-
spersed with much of historical inter-
est relating to France, including the
French Revolution, slaughter of the
Huguenots, the career of Napoleon and
other notables. The views were mag
niicent and the descriptions fitted
we'll.
But one number remains to be given
of the present course. "Our Golden
Gate" to be given next Thursday, "a
which Mr.. Bennett will present the
latest and best set of views of his large
collection.
The children's matinee, IA trip to
Yosemite" was well attended and
appreciated by both children and
adults.

Distinguished Frenchmen Here.


Scarcely less notable and significant
than the visit of Prince Henry, though
less the subject Of public demonstra-
t1on, Is the presence here Of three dis
tinguished Frenchmen, who are ami
mated by much the same spirit as that
which prompted the coming Of the
German prince-that Is, the cultivation
Of more intimate acquaintance and the
continuance of friendly relations be-
tween the American people and their
own countrypen. These notable French,
men are Baron d 'Estournelles de Con.
slant, M. Leopold Mabilleau and nj.
Hughes lie Roux.
Baron d'EstOurnelles is perhaps best
known in this country as member Of
the permanent tribunal Of arbitration
at The Hague. In his own land he is
best known as one Of the most prOmi-
nent members of the French chamber
of deputies. His visit here follows
appropriately after his work In France
In establishing committees throughout
that country to instruct citizens re-
garding the remarkable social, indus
trial and commercial development on
this side Of the Atlantic. He believes
that there is need for greater cogni-
zance on the part Of France of our
progress, and hence he has asked
French universities, chambers Of COM
merce and large manufacturing estab-
liShments to send young men to this
country to study our institutions. He
is now asking our universities, cham
bers of commerce and manufacturing
establishments to send young men to
France that they may come in contact
with the people and learn the methods
Of production in vogue there. He be-
Heves that his plan, in order to be sue
cessful, must be reciprocal
M. Mabilleau, who is one of the fore
most political economists Of France, is
here delivering lectures in various
American cities on French contem-
porary society. Some time ago M Ma
billeau became the right hand man Of
the late Count de Chambrun, the great
philanthropist and founder of the Mu-
see Social. In his capacity as director
Of the musee M. Mabilleau has for
some years been federating the 1880
workingmen's mutual aid societies in
France comprising 100000 members.
M. lie Roux, the noted Partisan jour-
nalist, explorer and civil engineer, is
here to lecture at Harvard university
and will also speak in number of our
principal cities.
While these distinguished French
men bear no governmental commits
sions and are simply private citizens,
they represent French thought and
sentiment, and their visit, though en-
tirely without political significance,
cannot fail to strengthen the tie Of
friendship between the two republics.

A SECRET MARRIAGE.

Society is all agog with curiosity
and a lively upheava1 threatens to
overtake our upper ten when all the
facts come to light. A certain gallant
gentleman stole away between two
days and made runaway match with
a beautiful young widow. For certain
reasons the affair has been kept Sc
cret, but lively developments are
promised in the near future and it is a
safe prediction that by this time next
week every one will know all about the
runaway match.

THERE is going to be mighty rat
thing of dry bones if the Assessor
elected this spring attempts to obey
the law and fix the assessed valuation
of property in Kenosha at anything
like the actual value. If the raise
must be made, and most people who
have given the matter any thought are
of the opinion that the time has come
when something must be done, the AS
SCISSORS job will be no sinecure this
year. The attitude of most of the
people toward the increased assess
ment resembles that of the old fellow
in Maine that Tom Reed used to tell
about who announced that he was Gin
favor of the law, but agin' it's enforce
ment."
1t is going to be difficult to find a
man having the proper qualifications
who is willing to take the office of AS
SCISSOR. 1t is thankless task at best,
and if the assessment is to be raised
there is going to be an immense
amount of work to do. 1t goes with
out saying that the Assessor should
be man who has thorough knovl-
edge of real estate values. He should
not be an employe of any of the great
factories, and, like Caesars wife,
should be above suspicion.
The possible raise in the assessed
