OUR FIRST REPUBLIC.
Il Was Not the United States, but the
Louisiana Republic.

The first republic in this hemisphere
to succeed in compelling recognition Of
fits independence was, of course, the re-
public whose proud capital is Washing
ton. But there was an earlier one
which died soon after its birth, of
which little or nothing is said in our
American histories.
When France, in 1894, coded Louisi-
ana to Spain, the subjects of King
Louis XIV objected to the transfer
without their consent. The local gov
eminent submitted the question to the
council, which, under the lead of Mich
olas Chauvin de Lafreniere, rose in re-
volt. Lafreniere called a convention
of the people at New Orleans, while the
new Spanish governor was on his way
to the colony. and the convention Sc
lected a delegate to go to Paris to dis
suade the French king from his course.
Louis XIV, however, rebuffed the dele
gate and sent back word that the peo-
pie must recognize the authority of
Spain.
1t was then that the people of Louisi-
ana resolved on a radical course. On
the night of Oct %, 1868, the rebels
took possession of the French forts and
the gates of the town in the name of
the republic of Louisiana. The old
French governor offered no resistance,
while the new Spanish governor took
refuge on a ship and sailed for Havana.
On Oct ,. 176S, the council at New
Orleans adopted a formal declaration
of independence, officially named it.
self the republic of Louisiana, elected
Lefreniere protector" and prepared a
written constitution. This interesting
government lasted from October, 176S,
to July, 1863. when a Spanish squadron
Of twenty-four vessels. with an army Of
1900 men, arrived at New Orleans.
The new republican state was destroy
ed and five republican leaders, includ-
ing Lafreniere, were put to death.
Then all the republics official papers,
including its declaration OF independ-
ence and constitution, were burned in
the public squ:re.-Springfeld Repub-
lican.

TRACED BY LETTERS.

Steve Shadduck, of Stratford, who
has been refugee from justice for some
time, is at present taking his rations at
the county Jail, and will remain there
until the next term of circuit court
when he will make answer TO the charge
of burglary. Steve's wife last spring
applied for divorce, which could not
be granted because their marriage was
of the common law variety, but sepa-
ration was arranged by the court. By
the terms of the separation the woman
was given possession of what little
property they had. except few person
al belongings of Shadduck. The latter
did not like the arrangement, and is
alleged to have broken into the house
one night short time after, and stole
a number of things which belonged to
the woman. After being arrested and
bound over to appearfin circuit court,
he made his escape from the Stratford
constable, aud has been in hiding since
Lately it is said, he has been sending
threatening letters to his former wife,
and these disclosed his Whereabouts
and he was re arrested.
Shadduck served sixty days in Jail
last winter forehunting cartridges with
out having taken the precautions to
provide himself with hunters license.

WILL Go TO La CROSSE.

John Mohr, a former resident of Wau-
sau and member of the local Sharp
shooters society, took part Sunday in
the rifle practice of that society John
is now member of the sharpshooters'
club of his home town of La Crosse
That club has secured new grounds for
a rifle range and is erecting new build
ings and his society instructed John to
extend a verbal invitation to the Wan
sau brethen to participate in tourna-
ment there at the opening of the new
grounds early in May, written in
vitation to follow later Milwaukee
has been invited also and the home
club will offer number of cash prizes
for each event. and make the visit a
pleasant one for their guests. The
Wausau society viii consider the in
vitation at its next meeting, and from
the expressions of opinion there is no
doubt but what the La Crosse people
can count on a visit from the local
society, and it is quite likely that all the
active members who are not otherwise
engaged at that time will respond to
the invitation. A three cornered team
contest will be arranged for teams of
the three cities

A soWERY INCIDENT.
The Invited Guest Who Was Called
Before the Feast.

The Invited Guest Who Was Called
Before the Feast.
The missionary had finished his talk
TO the crowd of derelicts in a BOwery
mission and went around the room to
shake them by the hand There was
one man sitting on a bench whose face
was so utterly loathsome that the mis-
sionary's gorge rose in his throat, and
he was compelled to pass him by. The
mans dulled eye marked the look of
disgust, and in a tone of mingled de-
lection and resentment he cried out:
"Say, mister, why don't you shake
hands wild me?'
The young missionary turned, con-
science stricken, looked into the sin
Scared features and grasped the mans
hand.
Really. brother. you must forgive
me-" he stammered. IL couldn't help
it when saw you-your face. But I'll
make amends. You must take dinner
with me tomorrow night"
The broken man glanced at his rags
in confusion. blushed like girl and
gaspe0:
"wot. Ne take dinner wild you! Ne
go TO yotr house! Mew
"Yes, 1 mean it. I'll come tomorrow
night and get YOU
True to his word, the missionary pre-
sented himsclf at the lodging house
the next evening and inquired for the
man. A corpse was lying on the table,
a handkerchief spread over its face.
The clerk jerked his thumb in the d.
reetion of the body.
That's Wilson," be said HE had
fixed himself up and was waitin' for
you; dropped dead half an hoar ago.

JUDGMENT REVERSED.

A telegram was received today by
City Atty osenberry, from Madison,
stating that the case of M. j. Kava-
naugh VS.. the City of Wausau had been
reversed in the supreme court. We
think our readers are well acquainted
with this case without us going into de-
tails. The complainant sold the city a
horse which was afterward refused on
the grounds that the animal was not
what it was represented to be, and pay
ment was also refused Kavanaugh
sued, and in the trial in circuit court
last fall secured Judgment, but the
city attorney took an appeal to the SUI
preme court. The dispatch did not
state on what grounds the Judgment
was reversed
