Alfred Wheeler of GAINESVILLE, gradu.
ate of the University of Wisconsin, class
of 1900 student manager of the foot ball
team of 1899, and for a short time prac-
titioner at law in Milwaukee, has made
100000 in the gold fields of Nevada.

State Veterinarian E D Roberts con-
Quoted the slaughter of sixty-nine head
of cattle affected with tuberculosis on
the farm of George Legler near Blanch-
ardville Wednesday. 1t was the largest
slaughter of infected cattle ever known
in the state. The cattle were driven out
in field one at time and one was
killed every ten minutes. The job re.
CURED the entire day. A ditch sixty
feet long, twelve feet wide and ten feet
deep had been dug in which to bury the
carcasses and none were buried until the
entire sixty nine lay along the edge OF
the ditch. More than two hundred peo-
pie witnessed the slaughter.
B Greene, of Belvidere, Ill, brought
into the city Thursday morning nine
cub wolves which he had captured in
Clinton township. They were alive and
appeared to be week or two old. Nh
Greene carried them in a gunny sack to
the court house, where he sought out
County Clerk Lee, who set l o'clock as
the time for their slaughter. They re-
manned in the clerks Office number OF
hours and excited considerable attention
and comment from the county employees
and visitors at the court house.. They
we're killed by their captor and their
heads severed and turned over to the
county clerk, who disposed of them in
the furnace of the court house heating
apparatus, where they we're cremated
according to law.
At o'clock Friday morning the town
of GAINESVILLE grange hall, located near
the county farm, was set afire by incen-
diaries and burned to the ground. The
flame was started on the northwest cor
ner of the building, kerosene or some
similar inhammable substance being
thrown on the timbers. When first OBJ
served that portion of the building was
wrapped in sheet of flame several yards
high. When built several years ago the
hall cost $500 but several hundred more
have been expended in improvements
since that time and the total loss is now
estimated at $500 or more. No clue to
the identity of the perpetrators of the
outrage has been found.

stepped on the porch. He leaned against
the framework of the door and smoked
his pipe, apparently oblivious to the
voices floating out from the kitchen.
Yet he heard, for his brows lowered
and met above his eyes, and his teeth
shut sharply on the brier's stem.

Profit and LOSS.

Here is a story illustrative Of the
tribulations of an editor of paper in
the west in the old days. Away back
in the early eighties of the last century
a notice appeared in journal publish
ed at Dodge City which ran as follows:
In view of the fact that we cannot
pay the road tax Of $40 assessed
against us this year we have been SEN
fenced to a certain period Of confine-
ment by the judicial authorities of this
state; consequently there will be no
issue of this paper for the next three
weeks. But, as the state will of course
shall come out some 500 ahead."-Har.

The Importance of Advertising.

Time was when advertising was re.
garded as blowing ones own horn, y
and there have been in it at times
fakes and frauds, just as there have
been in other lines of business. All
that has changed very perceptibly in
the past three or four decades. Bust
ness men have realized that the world
is too large to ask the people in it to
hunt around and find out for them
selves what the manufacturer makes
and what the merchant has to sell. The
possible consumer must be found and
told about what is for sale and why
he should buy it. That is all there is
to ing.-Indianapolis Star.

The Chicago daily papers of last Sat
urday announced that w Harrison
Haight, son of Mr. and Mrs Steph-
en- Haight of Rockdale, had won
the first prize of 500 in debate the
evening previous at the Northwestern
Law School in that city. To the many
friends of Harrison in this village, where
he attended and graduated from our
high school, this will be pleasing news.
The second annual declamatory con-
test of the Madison district was held in
the opera hall in this village last Friday
evening before crowded house. Four

speakers each: Sun Prairie, Verona, Mt
Horeb and Cambridge. Every number

room. He could see Bess fighting
against her love and the stalwart son
of the mill owner as he held her hands.
Noiselessly he stepped from the porch
to the GOODNESS of the little garden. 1t
was quite dark when he returned, but
no light greeted him from the open
door, but low sob broke the stiffness
and guided him to the girls side. She
sat by the table, her head buried in her
arms, her slight frame trembling with
emotion. Noah watched her silently.

his work worn hand on her arm.
"You sent him away bravely. Now
you cry for him.
Bess cleared her voice. There was a
little laugh of self pity in her tone as
she spoke

Bess flung her arms about his neck
"Not that love you less, dear, or ever

Soothing her, he drew her to his knee
and held her in his arms, as he had
so often done as a child. Comforted,
she prepared to retire.
