On Memorial Day it becomes chr duty
to stand, with sadness in our hearts,
and strew with flowers the graves Of
honored dead. No thought is boiler
than the memory Of those who have
given their lives in the 1our of their

commemorative exercises of the sleep
ing soldier should be carried on by those
who were their companions in arms
fitting it is that you and | shoald aid in
this sad commemoration With all the
bitterness and pain there is sweetness
in the sorrow of patriot death.
Tifhe touches all things with mel
lowing hand and it has softened the
despairing sorrow Of hereayed far, 'fes
to q tender memory today express by
flowers. Let us aid the soldiert son
and widow in honoring the men, who a
generation ago, faced Death that this
country might live.
Let us aid the Grand Army of the Re-
public and the Woman's Relief Corps
in these exercises that mean so much to
them. In little while these flowers
must be strewn by hands unused 10 the
instruments of war. What privilege
it is 20 us to prepare ourselves TO receive
the sacred trust. that viii remain to us,
to keep green the memories of our he
roes when the passing Of the last veteran

eral Months Before Trial Can be Had.
The preliminary hearing Of William
Tibhetts, who rests under the charge of
causing the death of Ira Shrake, as the
finale of row at Genoa about month
since, was held at De Soto on Monday
last. Justice Pollard adjourned his
court there for convenience Of the river
men whose testimony was essential to
the hearing. The state was represented
by District Attorney Bennett and his
law partner, jackson Silbaugh, the de-
fendant prisoner by Dougherty q Bald
win of La Crosse, and G. w Graves of
this city
Sheriff Severson took Tibbetts TO De
Soto in single conveyance, the attor-
neys and the court going IN double
seated rig The hearing occupied sever
al hours, less than dozen persons testi-
flying, and they for the prosecution.
Tibbetts was not placed on the stand,
nor were any witnesses examined in his
interest. At the conclusion of the hear
ing Justice Pollard bound the accused
over to circuit court

Frank Shelby, CAP Law and others
of the Musser steamer crew testified to
the fight between Tibbetts and Sbrake,
their stories corroborating well They
were TO the general tenor that both men
were aggressors, but that after they had
been separated Tibbetts advanced and
with heavy club dealt Shrake blow
over the head from behind, which felled
him TO the bottom of the boat causing
bad fracture of the skull, from which he
died in few days
Tibbetts will make an effort to secure
his freedom fer the period intervening

OUR WISCONSIN CROP CONDITIONS.
Secretary Of the State Beard CT Agriculture Writes
Favorably Of the Outlook

The conclusion reached by John M
True, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, in his monthly state crop
report, dated May -. is that the farm
prospects in Wisconsin are excellent.
The report follows
While the month of April was ex-
ceptionally cod and wet, and farm work
was seriously retarded by such weather.
the prospe cts, at date, for ali farm en-
terprises, are excellent Grass is our
most impor an, and valuable, crop, end
its present condition is sucb as to give
assurance of an unusually large hay
crop There is an increase in toe acre
age of tame meadows from last year of
r per cent, this coming largely from
the southern part OF the state, where for
the first time in years good stand of
clover was secured last year. Ia most
parts Of the state last years eding of
clover is reported TO be in good condi-
tioD. some winter killing occurring in
exposed locations and on older fields.
Upland pastures are good, while the ex.
cessive rainfall has kept marshy lands
almost inaccessible
Farm stock is already largely turned
upon pasture for it's main food supply
Winter wheat ard rye are found to be-
in good condition as the sen on advances.
their respective standings. at date. be-
ing 95 and 81 per cent Whi fields
for small grain were not generally as
well prepared for the seed as usual on
account of access of moisture, still the
stand of oats, barley and spring wheat
is good and plants are growing rapidly
There Is continued tendency to drop
wheat growing in Wisconsin as is shown
by fall in acreage of spring wheat from
last rear of 10 per cent, while our pre-
vious reports show an even greater fall
ing off in winter wheat.
The acreage of barley and oats re-
main about the same as last year, with
a slight increase in oats in the northern
half of the state.
While farmers have been busy the
past week in the preparation OF ground
for corn planting and upon dry soil con
siderable planting has been done, a
large part of the acreage la yet to be
planted and the work will not generally
be completed before the last of the
month The larger part of the ground
for potatoes has not yet been plowed
and the planting of late potatoes will be
left until after corn planting. Of fruits
cherries, currants, gooseberries and
plums are considerably injured by frost
strawberries are slightly damaged k::t
will probably be full crop. Apples
are not blooming as heavily - last year,
but trees arc in axcsiient condition and
the prospects are fair

In the recent number of the De Soto

article on the names Of Bad AK and

THE Bad AK river was known two

September passed up its mouth and re-
lates that Canoe river came from the
northeast. He afterwards passed the
river 'Quin Capous' so named from a
native who formerly lived on its bor-
ders. Itseems that this river last named
is our present Coon creek.
