CAN NON EXPLODED

But for the precautions taken by a
number of people at the shooting park
Sunday morning, in testing a cannon,
there might now be several people ly-
ing in their collins and others manned
for life. The Deutscher Kriegen Verein
intends to dedicate banner at Column
bia park. June LIST, and to properly
celebrate the event thought it well to
make plenty of noise by firing off can
non at intervals, and so ordered one
made. To Sigismund Karas was given
the task of furnishing the gun. He
don't pretend to be Herr Krupp, but
he secured steel tube aboutfour feet
long and three and one-half inches in
diameter and taking it to a foundry
had almost four inches of metal east
around it. Sunday it was taken over
to the shooting park for test, and quite
a number of people went over to wit
ness results. Ole Biller, heavy artil-
lerist of international renown, was
chosen to load and fire the gun. At the
first charge about two pounds of pow
der was rammed into the gun, dyna-
mite fuse attached, and all sought shell
ter behind trees at a safe distance. The
powder was discharged without result
other than loud report, and so a more
severe test was decided upon. The next
time about four pounds of powder was
put into the gun, and this was wadded
with paper, grass and earth, and a fuse
attached and lighted as before, and
everybody sought a tree. The fuse siz-
zled as it burned up to the powder. then
there was a loud explosion and many
fragments of iron were thrown through
the air. and when the smoke had cleared
away there was very little of the can
non left in sight There was large
hole in the ground where it had stood,
and a few pieces lying near. One large
piece, weighing about forty pounds. was
carried over into the fair grounds, sew
eral hundred feet away, and crashed
through the roof of barn and was dug
out of the hay afterward another
piece struck a large cedar log lying at
some distance. and cut the log in two
a2d was found embedded in another
log.
The artillerist explained to his fright
ened friends that that was the only way
to test a caDGon, and he is no doubt
correct. for the test was most successful,
but some of those who witnessed it will
not travel mile again in some time to
see another experiment made, and con
slider themselves lucky that they are at
present alive. They would rather take
chances of standing on Clark's island
when the Hackworthy Construction Co.
is touching off COS ..ounds of dynamite
in a rock blast.

GOLFERS WEEKLY says that Mr..
Bryan has weakened his OWE influence
by advocating the appointment Of fed
eral judges who are in sympathy with
the common people, las against the
trusts. The point made by Golfers
is that judges should not be in sympathy
with anything they should be men
who will execute the laws coldly and
iudicially, let the result be what it may.
The trouble with Golfers point is that
it ignores human nature. Judges are
human, like other folks. They have
Sympathies and preiudices, and they
cannot help having them. The greatest
effort of good Judge is to smother his
sympathies and prejudiceS so that they
may not affect his decision. Bryan
merely acknowledged fact which
every one of diScernment must know.
Golfers is talking of an ideal state of
things which cannot exist. Bryan is
talking of what is. The conditions that
actually exist are what the people must
deal with.

Miss Della Marsa, 'O3, favored us with
her smiling face on Friday.
Miss Estelle Iood, who has finished
her school in Lincon Co, returned for
visit.
Mrs Chas. Harger and Mrs Clinton
Smith visited the training school on
Monday in company with Mrs. Eckel.
Messrs Montgomery, Schuetz and
Boelter of the High school, visited the
Training school on Friday and took
part in the debate The question was:
Resolved that student government
above the grammer grades is benefi
cial."
Mrs. Eckel, who is spending some
time in Wausau at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Edmonds, favored us with a
delightful and instructive talk concern
ing the teaching of ciyics in the rural
schools. She told us of the great inter
est which the children of Chicago were
taking IN the study of the sewerage sys-
TEN, the lighting and water plants, the
postal service, parks, and host of other
things which are maintained by the peo-
pie. She gave many illustrations of the
responsibility which children lad been
taught to bear in the matter of cleaning
and keeping clean, sidewalks, yards and
vacant lots, she insisted that the study
OF clvics in connection with the child's
immediate environment would rescue
boys and girls from the aversion which
many of them manifest toward regular
school work.
Mr.. Schooley, '02, who has recently
closed successful year in his own
home district in the town of Frankfort,
has been spending few days in the

umnae prepare a short program to be
presented at Commencement time TO re-
lieve the class of 1904 from the burden
of so doing. Much time and effort has
been spent by the class of 1904 in prepar-
ing an exhibit for the Worlds Fair in
the early part of the year before they
were thoroly prepared to do so, and in
consequence much of the regular work
was deferred until this time His sug-
gestion seemed to meet with the an

THE republican papers OF tkis city
published reports of the contest in the
democratic county convention, held in
this city, between the Hearst and anti
Hearst delegates, but they failed to
mention the hair pulling which occurred
in their own convention. Neither the
Central nor the Record made mention
of the resolutions which was introduced
by IL. G. Flieth, commenting the public
acts, and hoping for the reelection of
Congressman Webb Brown. II Is plain
upon the face, of it, that those papers
were ashamed of that part of the pro-
Gee dings of their convention and did
not care to give it publicity.

THE only thing certainly known
about Judge Parker's political views is
that he belongs to the states rights
school of constitutional students. 1t is
not strange that this should give him
strength in the South, for it is often the
case that an old idea carries weight in
the minds of men, when the original
aim of that idea is no longer attainable
or even desirable. We have right to
assume that the South no longer desires
to secede from the Union. Assuming
that to be true, what is the present
value of the states rights idea 1t
applies to nothing now of any political
significance whatever. except the ques-
ton whether the national government
has a right to control interstate com
merce and prevent monopolies, accord
ing to Judge Parker'S school, that is
interference with states rights, and this
is the position taken by the trusts. The
South, apparently, does not understand
this, for it is not suppoSable that South
ern democrats favor trusts or railroad
combines and mergers.

they would rather see a ''yaller' dog

Robert La Toilette. They have now

THE republican state convention, for
placing N nomination candidates for
the state ticket, will be held tomorrow
ut Madison. 1t is impossible to say
Just who the nominee for Governor will
be, Judging from the half breed and
stalwart papers, however, it is pretty
safe to say that governor LaFollette
will be renominated. The Milwaukee
journal this morning says that such
will be the result of the convention,
and further that the stalwarts will bolt
and nominate a separate ticket. The
caucuses of both factions will be held
this evening, which will outline the
program to be followed in its details.
