The bank situation in the state has
become extremely interesting to out
siders. Several financial institutions
in the larger cities to which this terri
tory is tributary have standing orders
to be furnished with data concerning
new banks as soon as they are incor-
porated. The financial journals of the
East are commenting on the last re-
markable bank statement issued by
Auditor Henry, and the auditor says
these journals have been printing the
statement with cement and compar-
ison, bringing out it's extraordinary
features. Secretary Power has just
recorded the Choctaw Bank of Acker-
man, with a capital Of $4,000 max
ing six banks incorporated for the
month Of April.
Albert Gammons, who is now In the
Jackson Jail, charged with the murder
Of the two Kimseys, near Water Val
lev, has turned author and is writing
full account Of his crime, the murder
Of his sweetheart, Fannie Kimsey, and
her father, Jake Kimsey. The manau-
script was turned over to E. r. Con
way, who was in the same cell with
Gammons, and it is not to be given
out until after Cannon S death, which
event Gammons seems to be certain
will come soon. The murderer sets
out no new facts in his story.

GLEANINGS AT
THE CAPITAL
MATTERS OF STATE WIDE IN
TEREST.
some IMPORTANT THINGS
Governor Back Of Movement to Sup
press Whitecappers. Many Charters
Have Been Improved. Other Notes
of General Interest.

The governor is using the fund of
$4,000 appropriated by the last leg
islaturefor the suppression of lawless-
ness, to employ Pinkerton men to work
up evidence against the white cappers.
One of these detectives is understood
to have been very successful in work
ing up evidence, and at his suggestion
the governor ordered negro witness
to be held IN the Jail at Jackson, in
default of bond, to appear before the
grand jury in Lincoln county. The
scheme of employing detectives to
work up these cases, if successful, will
prove happy solution of the trouble.
There IS no way to reach the trouble
except through the courts of the coun-
ties in which the white cappers oper-
ate. The court officers are willing
enough, but are powerless to prevent
white Gaping, and have no means at
their disposal for following up the
cases to secure evidence. Competent
detectives, with wthe necessary
shrewdness and nerve, and employed
to do nothing else but shadow sus-
poets and follow clews furnished by
persons who are afraid to move of
themselves, ought to be able to gather
evidence sufficient to secure convic-
tons Of the ringleaders in the county
courts.

There was general breaking up OF
gambling paraphernalia at the City
Hall last week. There were all kinds
of gambling things. Strong armed,
bluecoated minions Of the law took
axes and broke up the tables and
wheels, piled them in heap in the
Jail yard, saturated with coal oil and
set on fire, being reduced to ashes In a
very short time.

New York Outlook.

An alarm has been sounded by
the New York World on the Dem
ocrat outlook in the State ofNew
York. In substance it is that
while the Republicans are thoro-
ughly organized. the Democrats
have done nothing. This is true
but it is only part of the truth.
The Democrats are not only not
organized but in the city of New
York where the voters must come
from to give them a majority, if
they are TO have one. the Democ-
ratio leaders are fighting each
other rather than the Republi-
cans. The row beteen McCarren
and Murphy is growing fiercer
daily, with no respect of a settle
ment. The parker managers be-
gins to see that David" Hill let
them into a bad hole when he
formed an alliance with McCar-
rem against Murphy. He did
this to secure a Parker delega-
ton to the National Convention.
In order to get McCarren's sup
port he had to promise him
the championship of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Democrat
&c State Committee.
Advice from the State at large
all agree in saying that the Re
publicans are united and con-
hdent. Charles NJ. Pepper, the
well known travelling newspa-
per correspondent who is an OBJ
server merely and not a parti-
san, has just finished tour of
the State. He found few So
called gold Democrats for Par
ker who had not returned to the
party four years ago. He reports
less enthusiasm for Parker than
he found for Bryan i'll the cam
paign of 1896. and think that
the present outlook is III favor of
the State going Republican. This
accounts for the Democratic
alarm aud for the offer of large
sums Of money in Wall Street
even ON Roosevelt carrying the
State, with no takers.

Farmers the Victims.

Farmers in adjoining counties,
and mayhap some here, have
been victimized of late by the
some old game as that worked
for years. This time the graft is
worked in the proposed pur-
chase Of stock from the farmer.
The stranger comes to the farm,
makes a deal to purchase stock
and tenders $50 in part payment
which is accepted. He demands
the signature of the owner to a
receipt and departs promising to
return in a few days, pay the
balance and take his stock. The
stranger never appears but there
comes a notice from the bank
that note for $3.50, with inter
est is due on such a date and
Friend Farmes learns to his sor-
row that the proposed receipt
was a blind, that the $50 had
been changed by adding a zero
and the paper sold to innocent
parties. Farmers cannot be too
watchful in their dealings with
strangers.-Wausau Record.
We have not so far learned OF
any Villas county farmer being
taken in by any of the above
sharpers, but a word in time to
the wise, is never lost. If the
farmers have anything to sell, go
to your home merchants and you
will never get mixed up in any
shady transactions, and you are
always the winner.

Brown Will be Elected.

We notice several candidates
are being mentioned for the dem
ocratic nomination to congress
in this district, among them be-
ing Wells Ruggles, the candidate
of four years ago, Mayor Whelan
of Grand Rapids and Fred s. Gar
land of Tomahawk being among
those seeking for the mantle OF
Congressman Webb Brown. Gen
tlemen-it will do you no good.
There is no use banking upon re-
publican differences IN this mat
ter as Webb Brown will receive
the solid republican support OF
his district. In fact the only op-
position that has appeared was
the refusal of the Marathon coun-
tv stalwart convention to give
him an endorsement last May
because he allowed" lis county
TO elect La Toilette delegates.
1t will be remembered that
when Cashier Flieth rose to his
feet in the convention above re-
ferred TO and asked why MIR.
Brown was not to receive the
usual complimentary mention in
the resolutions about TO be
adopted he was answered that
no person with any half breed
faint about him could receive a
good word from a Marathon
county conventions" OF course
everybody knew that; ali Mr..
Brown had done was, inasmuch
as he was a candidate. to refuse
TO Interfere against La Toilette.
But few will follow the lead OF
such extreme partisanship and
Mr.. Brown will be reelected
with the usual majority and the
democratic nomination will be
the usual empty honor.-Antigo
Republican.

The Wolf River at Amigo.

H. F. Marsh, of Amigo, Wis,
writes that he has been reading
the discussions that have been
going on in The Agriculturist re-
gardIng the Wolf River apple,
with considerable interest, and
request that he be allowed to
give testimony concerning it. He
writes as follows;
Mr.. Barnes states that it is
hardly an excellence commercial
variety and Mr.. Hager also fav-
ors the great Wisconsin seeding.
My experience here at Amigo
with the Wolf River does not cor
respond with the statement of
these gentlemen. l have been
testing fruit trees here in Lang
lade county for some time and l
fine several varieties that fruit
and winter better than the Wolf
River. Take the orchard through
or a term of years, the Wealthy,
Minnetonka. Long6eld, or Ouch
ess will bear more fruit that will
sell for more money than the
Wolf River.
AS to hardness, it suffered
more the past winter than any
other varieties we had growing
along side of it. The Fameuse
is not considered an exceptional
~ hardy variety vet here at Anti
90 the trees came through in fine
condition and now are loaded
with a nice crop of apples, while
the Wolf River trees are in wret-
ched condition.. My observation
are not confined to one orchard,
but extend throughout the coun-
try, and in every case / found
the tops of the trees badly killed
back. and in some cases dead to
the roots.
Last winter was an exception
ally hard one, but it conclusively
proved to me that the Wolf Riv-
err is no harder than many ofour
old standard varieties which far
surpaes it in quality and prod
uctiveness.-Wisconsin Agricul-
turalist.

May Point with Pride.

President Roosevelt'S reply TO
the notification committee was
a plea to stand pat" 1t was a
moderate, sensible talk, point
ing out what the Republican par
" has done IN the past seven
years and asking for It's contin-
uation in power on the ground
of its record. The party's strong
hold on the nation Is due to the
fact that it docs things; ard the
President is able to urge what it
has accomplished on the curren-
cv, the Tariff. the trusts, Cuba,
the Isthmiau canal and the Phil
ippineS as a reason why 1t should
retain the confidence of the coun-
try. This record is one to which
the party NAV properly point
with pride. as the President does,
and to offset 1t IN the minds of
the people is the difficult task be-
fore the Democratic party. That
this may lie done Is the hope OF
some OF its members, but even
the most enthusiastic must adj
NIT that it Is an arduous under
taking.-Lowell Citizen.

Conditions Perfect.
Northern Wisconsin a Great Region
Diversified Agriculture.


1t is in no wise an exaggera-
ton to affirm that there is no
place in the Union that offers
such advantages to settlers as
Northern Wisconsin" SAYS the
Eau Claire Leader. THE condi-
tions of soil and climate aie so
perfect that all the great staples
of the temperate zone can be
raised in the greatest abundance,
and in the greatest variety. 1t
is a great region for diversified
agriculture. Farmers do not
confne themselves to one article
as do those III Dakota or the
Northwestern provinces. They
devide the risk. They raise
wheat, oats, barley, corn, rye,
peas, buckwheat, hay, tobac-
co, sugar beets and roots of all
kinds. A total failure, conse-
quently, is unknown. Any guam
tity ofchoice land in this great
region can be had at a mere nom
lnal price. Homeseekers should
make a note of these things.
They are facts. and cannot be
controverted."

reached the climax of size and inven-
tive genius, but this seasons display
proves this idea to have been falla-
cious. Not only are there a greater
number of imported ring features and
startling home creations, including
the spectacular production of ,Jerusa-
lem and the Crusades, but all the 9th
er departments of the show life-the
menagerie, aquarium and horse fair
have been enlarged nearly double.
Two giraffes, supposed to be the last
of their race, the only rhinoceros in
captivity, real baby elephant. no

taking nourishment like a human in
FAINT, and seemingly incredible herd
of 40 elephants, are exclusive features
IN this remarkable geological collec-
ton. This baby elephant is the first
ever bred, born and successfully rear
eel in Amreica. 1t is Il sight of life
time, and an object of the keenest
scientific study as well as popular de-
light. The model horse of aristocratic
lineage and perfect symmetry is
shown with Ringing Brothers mar
velous exhibitions as seen nowhere

only have rare beauty of form. but |
they exhibit amazing intelligence. and
