Narrow Escape From Death.

Little Charley Finney, the IL
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jim
Finney had a very narrow escape
from death Tuesday which was
little short of a miracle. He was
in the act of dumping some rubbish
in the Furnace branch creek and
had backed the wagon near the
edge to better enable him to unload
it, when the horses backed too far
and the rear of the wagon went
over the edge of the creek. The
weight was too much for the horse
and he was pulled over backwards
and boy, horse, wagon and all drop
ped to the bottom a distance of
twelve feet. The horse fell on top
of the boy and when help came it
was first necessary to raise the
horse before the boy could be ex-
tricated. But the st range part of
the affair is, the boy was not in
jured seriously. He only had a
few bruises to show for his back
ward descent into the creek and the
weight of a horse on top of him.
That he escaped with his life is a
miracle. -Cassv1lle Record.

Highland Has Railway.

Last Friday the track layers
reached Highland and the whole
populace turned out to bid them
welcome. The church bells tolled
and with the whistle blowing ii
gave the old town quite metrop-
olitan appearance.
A large force of men are at work
ballasting or levellng up the track
and before freezing the roadway to
the junction will be in perrty fair
shape.
The hauling of freight in car lots
is now done. The heavy machinery
for the big central power plant and
the three mills will be hauled in as
soon as the sites are prepared.
1t is intended to get all the neces-
sary mason work for the mills done
before hard freezing weather.

Court House Building Notes.

A gang of concrete workers are
busy building a cement walk around
the courthouse. Along the main
part of the building on the north
and east the walk will be twenty
feet wide, tapering along the wing
on the southeast to width of four
feet on the south; and along the
west side the width will be uni
formly ten feet. The walk is being
laid close to the building, and when
the grading is done will be the COM
mencement of the slope down to
the street level.
The marble wainscoting is being
placed, and the workmen hope to
have it and the marble stairways
completed by the last of November.
The tile floors of the corridors are
completed, and but very little else
remains 10 be done save furnishing
the rooms and the placing of the
electric light fixtures, which will be
taken up at the meeting of the
county board next month.

Thieves at Work in Cassville.

From all appearance there seems.
to be an organized gang of petty
thieves in Cassville and community
who every now and then pay some
one of the residents a nocturnal
visit. This has continued to such
an extent that an investigation has
developed an organization, as yet
in it's infancy, which has for it's
object the looting of wood sheds,
chichen houses and in some cases
places of business. Many COM
plants have been made but as the
articles taken were of no great
value, no particular effort was made
to locate them.
However, of late they have be-
come bolder and several of the clti-
zens have decided it was about time
to put stop to this petty thieving,
and accordingly they have taken
steps to stamp it out.

OPENING SPEECHES.
John Finerty and Gov. LaFOllette
Address Voters.

The opening speech of the cam
paign in this section was given
Wednesday evening by Hon. Jno.
Finerty of Chicago. The speaker
was met at the train by the leaders
of the Democratic club, and music
by the band gave a touch of en-
thusiasm to the occasion. The dis
course was held in Reeds Opera
House before a large crowd of
Democrats and some of other
persuasion. Mr.. Finerty kept his
audience spell bound for something
over an hour. He is an able talker,
and a gentleman of very command
ing presence.
On Thursday evening the darling
Of the administration Republicans
addressed large crowd at Knapp's
rink with a speech of over two
hours. The Governor spoke Ill the
afternoon at Platteville and Potosi,
and after supper drove to Lancas-
ter. He was accompanied by Geo.
S. Hannah, his secretary. At nine
o'clock he mounted the rostrum in
the hall, where the italian orchestra
from Chicago had been entertain
ing the assemblage since early in
the evening.
The speaker was introduced by
Chairman w. A. Johnson as 1.-THE,
man known as widely within the
borders of the United States as the
President himself, Robert M. La
Toilette" The governors talk was
laid along the same course as the
one he delivered at the county fair
a year ago, his principal points
being made on freight rates, COR
porate dynasties, and primary cleo
tions. With him on the platform
were Mayor Hassell, s. w. Doolit-
tie, JOS. Godfrey, Assemblyman
Chandler, John Schreiner and
David Schreiner. The question
was raised in the audience as to
whether or not the presence of
three physicians on the rostrum did
not indicate that bob" was about
suffer from an attack of nervous
prostration, but his talking prop
ensities did not seem to be affected
in the least, and the crowd was.
denied that excitement. The gov
ernor left next morning for Glass;
vile, Glen Haven, Bagley, Bloom
ington, and other points in West
Grant where he expected to tell
them all about it.

Splinters.

If you cannot please yourself
you will never be able to please
anyone else.
1t is a pity that when people
reach the age of discretion they do
not stay there.
So many people waste timel Do
you do it? Do you talk and talk
about nothing.
A man who talks so loudly about
himself is often like thunder. Big
noise, no damage.
The girls who are chasing a man
should see the warning in the face
of woman who has caught one.
No matter how silly a woman may
be, she can always find man who
will let her make a fool of him.
How we all dislike the child that
has it's own way and is impudentl
All of us need great deal of train
ing.
The man who is always hoping
for the best may never reach it,
but he has happy time whistling
on the way.
We are not always on the bright
side of life, but we really need the
darkness sometimes-for resting
purposes.
When a young man proposes and
the girl tells him that he may hope
he may as well begin saving up to
buy furniture.
Sorrow makes friends of people
that never would be friends with
the light of happiness shining
around them for ever.

Boscobel Fair.

Good weather and plenty of it,
generous premiums, big crowd of
exhibitors and spectators, and big
bunch of enthusiasm were the
factors which were at work this
week making the Boscobel fair the
most successful show ever held by
that association. For some years
past the fair at that city has been
handicapped by rainy weather, SO
that the management could easily
have become disheartened, but this
year fully exceeds all their expecta-
tions. Everything was on the top
notch, and the visitors from other
towns were well repaid for their
trip.

The annual class rush O

The annual class rush of the
University OF Wisconsin between
the Freshman and Sophmores took
place Thursday evening. The aim
of each class is to place the banner
bearing it's numerals on a raft
moored out in Lake Mondota, and
to prevent the other from doing so,
The battle ragged from 4:S0 until
after dark, when the Freshmen
were finally victorious.
-Messers A. Peacock, Leroy Pea
cock and Matt Peacock of BeetOWn
were Thursday callers.
Paul Esser of Glen Haven was
caller in this city Thursday and
Friday. While here he gave the
Herald office pleasant call.

Prison For Careless Hunters.

AT this season of the year it is
prudential to sound warning note
to hunters already out for small
game and others who will shortly
go to the woods for larger.
Every year it becomes the regrett-
able duty of newspapers all over
this section of the country to record
the accidental shooting Of human
beings mistaken for game by care
less and inexperienced hunters. So
extensive has this shooting become
that it has developed a subject for
serious consideration, and particu-
larly so in Wisconsin, one of the
choice hunting grounds Of the coun-
try.
So far, the effort to stop these
accidents in Wisconsin has been
confined to warnings from newspa-
pers and earnest expostulations on
the part of the more experienced
hunters, but in Michigan the sub
ject has received legislative atten-
ton, resulting in a law to the effect
that whoever while hunting or in
the pursuit of game, negligently or
carelessly shoots and wounds or
kills any human being shall be pun
ished by imprisonment not exceed
ing ten years or by fine not exceed
ing 1000, and it is made the duty
of the prosecuting attorney and
sheriff of the county in which a
violation Of the law occurs to forth
with investigate and prosecute.
Wisconsin has not gone to this
extent as yet, but the coming win
ter may make it advisable for like
statute to be adopted here. 1t rests
entirely with the hunters them
selves.

fight equal to the best troops in the
world After the battle I saw
Hooker at the Mountain House,
near where the brigade fought. He
sang out: General, what do you
think of my from BrigadeY Imme-
diately from and after that battle,
the brigade took upon themselves,
of course having heard of this Incl
dent, that name; no brigade seemly
denying them the right to do so,
and, the fact, the entire Army Of
the Potomac conceeding to them
that right. And from this time on
the brigade is designated in the his
tory of all the battles in which it
fought-and it participated in all
the heavy battles Of the Army of
the Potomac-as the Iron Brigade.
1t is SO designated in Stiffness Army
of the Potomac Battles and Lead
ers in Civil War; by the Century
Company, ''Swinton's Army Of the
Potomac each and all of which are
considered as standard histories,
and therefore in every way credit
able. Gen. Doubleday, one of the
grand old soldiers of the First Corps
and who at one time-including the
latter part Of the battle on South
Mountain, also the battles of Antie-
tam and Fredericksburg command
ing the old First Division of that
Corps, who also wrote the history
of the battles of Charlottesville
and Gettysburg for series of his
tories of battles and campaigns pub
lished some 30 years ago by the
Scribner Publishing Company; like
wise Gen. Humphrey in his Grants
Campaigns with the Army of the
hotomac from the Wilderness to
Appomattox. and each and all Of
these histories and authorities
agree in that they almost invari-
ably speak of it as the Iron Bri-
gade, often naming the states from
which the different regiments COM
posing it came. With all respect
for my New York comrades, who
zealously contest what I have here
in written, have never been able,
and have carefully studied and gone
over this whole subject, to find the
old First Brigade, First Division,
First Corps and there was none
better as a fighting organization
even designated by any standard
historian or authority as the Iron
Brigade but on the contrary, they
invariably, when speaking of the
Iron Brigade mean the following
regimental organization: I'd, 9Th
and 9TH Wis, 10Th Ind. and oath

If I were asked to describe the
South African Boer war at the
Louisiana purchase exposition, I
would answer that it can't be done.
What the imagination cannot COM
pass, words cannot portray. In the
way of entertainments is far ahead
Of other amusement features as the
exposition is ahead of all it's pre-
decessors. Its conception is a
triumph of genius, it's setting a
work of tragic art, it's execution a
climax of fascinating and captivat-
ing entertainment. By comparison
the exhibitions of the Roman glad
iators were tame and modern shows
of the wild west pale into common
place. It surpasses all the other
midway attractions rolled into one
I could tell of the grand entree in
which are represented platoons of
marching infantry, regiments of
dashing cavalry and companies of
maneuvring artillery. might de-
scribe the holly confessed races be-
tween different nationalities and I
could possibly give in words faint
idea of the dancing horses, the wild
antics Of the Zulus and the treking
of the Beers with their oxen, mules
and ponies and real Boer wagons
but these are incidents merly pre-
liminary to the battles which are
the real show. 1t is the fighting,
struggles to the death and dead
and dying all around that bring
lungs to the throat, tears to the
eyes and cause the audience when
ali is over to relieve it's pent up
emotions by cheer upon cheer as
lusty and as loud as ever greeted
true hero. To characterize these
scenes as original, fascinating, real
does not describe them. They are
thrilling. In most sham battles the
imitation is so apparent as to des-
troy the effect-here the fighting is
SO fierce, the struggle of the com
batons so wildly realistic that one
forgets the fallen forms are not
dead, the surgeons are not binding
real wounds, the burning wagons
are not being consumed or the
bursting blaze from the exploding
block houses is not what it seems.
The laundering of cannon, rever-
berating above the rattle of mus
kerry and the clash OF steel, with
men and animals Keeling and fall
ling to their death as one army
dashes in deadly tray against the
other is sight that thrills the soul
and sets the audience wild. It is
given to few to witness a real battle
of the Boer and it is so perfect an
imitation that old soldiers see it and
feel that they are at war again.
General Viljoen-he of Boer war
fame-isa conspicuous figure On the
Boer side and his presence carries
one to the seat of recent great
events and makes him forget that
it is show he is witnessing and
not great tragedy
