Railroad Resurrection.

The people of Beaver Dam are ex-
cited over project for new railroad
through their city from Madison to
Green Bay. How mary Beaver Dam
gners remember the old Madison and
Green Bay r. 2 Co., which was
chartered just so years ago with Judge
S. l.. Rose as president? A good deal
of preliminary work WAS done in the
way of soliciting stock and bargaining
for right of way. Sun Prairie, Column
bus, Beaver Dam, Waupun, Fond du
Lac, Oshkosh and the Fox river valley
cities were all to be taken in on the
line. Then came delegation of citi-
zens over from Baraboo, who made the
officials of the new enterprise believe
that branch from Beaver Dam to
pecially if the branch were built first.
So the Beaver Dam & Baraboo Valley
~. II. w.. WdS C1ldt WILL u uoS
Rose still president. This line took in
Fall River, Lodi and Merimac. The
riglv Of way was secured the most OF
the way, and a considerable amount OF
grading was done on the east half,
The cuts and fills still remain, mute
mementos of persisted expectations.
Next came big step upwards and
the story of this justifes a new para
graph, The company bought q live
railroad with GA miles of rail, seven
locomotives, four or five passenger cars
and due proportion of fiat and box
cars, all in active operation. 1t was
the milwaukee, Watertown & West
ern.' running from Brookfeld Junction
to Columbus President Rose had
nose for live railroad man as well as
for live road and be nired S. S. Mer-
ril, II. G.. Atkins and half dozen
men whom Merrill selected, off the
Milwaukee & Mississippi road-the
Prairie du Chien-to come and operate
the system. Merrill proved to be a
great find; it was not long before he
had an extension running from Water
town toward Madison, the ostensible
plan being to put in branch from Sun
Prairie up the Baraboo Valley and so
keep faith with the "Baraboobies.
Then came the extension from Colum-
bus to Portage and the purchase OF the
west end Of the La Crosse road from
Portage to La Crosse; then the build
ing Of an Independent line from Brook
field to milwaukee e. then the compile
ton of the link to Madison from Sun
Prairie, then the gobbling up of the
east end of the La Crosse road with
it's Northern branches, then the OBJ
sorption of the Prairie du Chen divis-
ion and then the overflow of the great
ST. Paul system to Chicago and to the
Rocky mountains 1t is a story full of
romance and splendidiy successful en-
deavor, but the Madison & Green Bay
and the Beaver Dam & Baraboo VALLEY
on which the whole structure rests in
a way, are out of sight and almost for
gotten. If either of them is to be
resurrected there are few old timers
still left to toss up their hats and croak
out h1rrah. -Whitewate Register,

THE LATEST IN INSURANCE.

It has been known that insurance companies in England would bet on al- most anything. but it has remained for this season to bring out the insuring of garden parties and lawn fetes. This is the result of the indictment weather.
 Now, it is stated, nearly all large par ties, whether public or private, are in- sured against the rain falling so heav- fly that no one will go to them. The risk is written by the agent at Lloyds
 two or three days ahead of the time set for the party to take place, and the
 rate is fixed according to the weather probabilities. ranging from tens to twenty per cent. If it be a private party the host or hostess insures
 against the loss of the enjoyment they and their guests might have had, and if public against the loss of gate re- ceip.s.
 Nothing very slow about this. Amer ican enterprise will have to bestir It.

It having lately been found that there are painful obstacles in the way oi turning nothing into gold, there is en- couragenent in the announcement that an ingenious man has discovered an easy way of turning silver into gold This man lives in quiet Philadelphia where he has had a chance to think He Is an electrician and inventor of wide reputation. having been granted three hundred and sixty patents at washington. Practical business men of wealth are interested with him. A plant has been erected. The process of conversion has been, in part, explained and the machinery and some of it's pro- ducts in various stages of development are on exhibition. The actual cost and time it takes to turn silver into gold has been estimated and published SC that the figures are available to all who desire to investigate and invest. The profits to be made are enormous.
 Good work. This is what is wanted. There have been discoveries like this for two thousand years or more. but somehow or other the world has not had the benefit of them. This time it is going to be different. The extracting of gold from sea-water, which is. we be- lieve, a fourishing industry in England, and once fiourished in New England, isn't in it with the Philadelphia scheme. Watch for the automobiles which will be bought with the profits of the lucky inventor and those who are persuaded to invest with him and his practical business mon g{e5s

D1voRcED, Yrr NOT DIvoRoED.

 There are some cold -bIooded courts in
 England that do not consider the feel ings of lovers who love so much that
 they are willing to use a Dakota divorce in their loving. One of these courts
 has just decided a Dakota divorce to be
 a fraud. An English woman judicially
 separated from her husband crossed the
 ocean and settled tor six months in South Dakota, where she instituted di- vorce proceedings. In due time she got her decree. Freed. she married her family physician. When she returned to London her husband that had been and who still considered himself to be legally such, sued her for divorce. ham, K ing her partner under the laws of South Dakota as correspondent and demand ling damages from him. The second marriage has now been stamped as in- valid and the bridegroom of the divor- cee has been n1uIcted in the sum of

 kota spouse. 4g .. ,Fs4 Courts in this country are showing a disposition to look sharply at Dakota
 divorces, and if the present. tendency continues eager lovers will have to be more patient and precise than they have been. ' F%;1i

The Ragabond Read.

From one town to another
 The staid, brown highway runs, Laid out by the good fathers,
 Trodden by us and our sonst This way passes the schoolboy, The countryman with his load
 The bridegroom and bride A busy procession
 Of young hearts and old And none turns aside Or pines for the Vagabond Road Oh, the Vagabond Road, have you seen it:
 How describe It in words. Green, capricious, enchanting,
 Haunted by sweet,singing birds Still pursuing it's pleasure
 By rock, pasture and fall,
 Escaping, ascending, Deploying-and, where I know not, but surely Deliciously ending (So be it) in nothing at all. Dusty and safe Is the highway
 Thrice respectable too; Here are clustered mems dwellings
 Church and market In view. l, too, travel the turnpike ,
 And there fix my abode Yet sometimes, perehancs I halt for moment
 When no one is by.sAsz And throw long glance Far, far down the Vagabond Road. Dora Read Goodale in August Lippln'

BUST RUsslA N POLICE.

The Russian police are busy and effi- cient. They have hit upon the idea of meeting conspiracy with conspiracy. So they have organized force of secret agents, who, under the guise of think ing workn1en," circulate among their fellows pamphlets eulogistic of the ex- isting order of government, and dis crediting all constitutional forms as having tendency to subject the labor ing man to the middle classes. The fol- lowing is the line of argument adopted in one. of these pamphlets: Taking France as an illustration, the writer says that it was the French workmen who carried out the Revolution; they shed their blood and made their chill dren orphans; and to what end? The power almost immediately passed into the hands of the bourgeoisie, and under the pretext,~ of defending themselves against riotous .workmen the bourge- oisie, who would have never gained power but for the workmen's blood which had been shed, made law that if a crowd refused to disperse at the first command orders must be given to fire on the people. The workmen then discovered too late how they had been deceived by the revolutionists. Rus sian workmen, says the writer, must not make such a mistake. They must not look upon this matter through the eyes of self-appointed revolutionary teach- erS. -l .:.t -zs.-=-t

MT. and Mrs. Northcutt were divorced three years ago. She soon after went to the Indian territory to marry man named Farrah. but the event failed to take place. Northcutt went to her home last week to see his children, unsuspicious that she had still another matrimonial project in hand. He asked for Mrs Northcutt. A member of the household replied that she was upstairs putting on her wedding garments. He was sur prised, but insisted on seeing her.

Benjamin Franklin, a lawyer of Ma con. Missouri, has been recalling more stories of Henry Clay Dean, 8 chaplain of the United States senate before the war, 2 curious character, with the pie tuhesque forcibleness of language of a pioneer and voice of extraordinary range. Perhaps this is one of the most interesting. of the stories: "When I started for Charlton county, Missouri, in 1884, to teach a country school near Brunswick" says MT. Franklin, Dean voluntarily gave me a letter of reconn- anendation to his friend, Casper W. Bell, a noted citizen. He also offered this advice, and will never forget it, as it has served me well: Benjamin, I want to say this to you: You. will always find that mankind will respect you most when it sees the ivory handle of your pistol sticking out of your pocket"
 The famous iron pillar of Delhi is dealt with in Cassier's Magazine. The pillar is solid shaft of wrought iron, IS inches in diameter, and of length that is variously reported. The total length is from AS to 60 feet under ground and above, including capital of 321-2 feet. The pillar contains about 80 cubic feet of metal, and weighs about 1T tons The metal is, of course, char coal iron, made directly from ore in small hiilets; but how it was welded up no one can tell, as no record exists of any early method of dealing with great masses of wrought iron. An in- scription roughly cut or punched upon the column states that Rajah Dhara subdued a people in the Surdhu, named Vahlikos, and obtained with his own arm an undivided sovereignty on the earth for long period.
