COLT KILLS CHILLI.
Tot Is Found Dead in Field With Wild
Flowers in Hand.

Clarence Holman. the fouryear-old
son of Rev. NJ. H. Holman of Pleasant
Valley, is dead as the result of being
Akicked by a horse.
The little fellow had been out in
the field with his grandfather, and be-
coming tired he started to return
home.
Instead of following the usual path
Clarence climbed the fence of a pas
ture where he espied some wild
flowers. When the grandfather re-
turned home and found that the boy
was missing he at once started a
search and found the boy lying uncOn-
scious in the pasture, a bunch of wild
flowers tightly gripped in his hand.
There were several colts in the pas
ture, and it is believed that the boy
in his search for flowers got too
close to their heels and was kicked in
the head He lived but a short time
after being found.

Oshkosh Factory Readyfor Occupancy

Oshkosh Factory Ready for Occupancy
twenty-five Days After Beginning.
The main building of the Oshkosh
Bottle Wrapper company has been
completed. and thus is established a
new building in Oshkosh. The struc-
ture is 224 feet long and GA feet wide,
and two stories in height Twenty
five DAYS have been consumed in it's
construction.
Former Mayor William Diehmann,
who for years has been closely asso-
ciated with the Uhlein interests OF
Milwaukee, and Charles W. Wakeman,
former druggist, are the moving spirits
in the bottle wrapper company, which
makes wrappers for bottles from

keep the plant running night and day
for six months. 1t is now situated on
the south side of the Fox, with adj
mirable railroad facilities. 1t formerly
WAS unon the north side, but sold out
it's site to the Diamond Match compa-

The North Western railroad, having
secured condemnation of lands wanted
for its double track Improvement
along Broad street, between the north
side passenger station and the FOX
river, has placed a large crew at work
installing the second track. The forg-
ing of this line into the Northwest

facilitate it's service in this part OF
the state and will enable it to handle
the business with greater ease.

Is Found After Is Years.

After a separation of sixteen years,
during which time the mother did not
know whether her son was alive and
the son knew not whether he had a
mother, father or relative living, Peter
burst and his mother, Mrs. John Nc
Carty, were reunited in Monroe last
week. The separation took place six
teen years ago, when the mother was
compelled, by financial straits, to work
for the support of herself and family.
She sent the child to the state home
for dependent children at Sparta. He
was then a little over two years old.
He was taken by family of Henry Mil
brant of Wolf River when seven
years old, and made his home with
them until he was sixteen. During
this time he sent several letters to
the home for dependent children at
Sparta with the hope of learning if he
had a parent or relative living. His
mother forwarded several letters to
the home after her child had left, but
was unable to get an answer.
Finally friend, who had reared a
little sister of the supposedly orphan
boy and had interested herself in the
family, was able to get track of the
boy and communicated with him.

EX-GOVERNOR is PENNILESS.

Taylor of Wisconin.


Taylor of Wisconin.
Former Governor William r. Taylor
of Wisconsin, whose wife is now a
matron of the Home for Feeble Mind
ed, may be granted pension of $4,000

Roycraft of Chippewa Falls Oh the sub

ernor Taylor, the man who scourged
the railroads in the early '70s as cham
pion of the Granger" movement, has
been living at the Gisholt Home for
the Aged, a semi-charitable institution,
near Madison.
Mr. Taylor is now penniless, but is
considered in good health for the adj
vanced age Of eighty-seven years. Rel
atives of the man would probably care
for him were it not for his eccentrici-
ties. 1t is said that all the money he
could raise since leaving the govern
Or's chair has been lost in hitting
the wheat market, or in taking flyers
on the stock exchange. About two
years ago he sold his old homestead
in Cottage Grove for $500 With this
money he f1irted with the Chicago
market for several days. Then he
came back to get assistance to go to
the Old Peoples home.
The last days of the Farmer gov
ernor," as he is called in history, are
as pathetic as his first days were pitt
full. His mother died when he was three
weeks old, and six years later, his ia

raised amid strangers Thirty years
ago it was different. Gov. Taylor was
swept into office during the granger
movement of 1873. The Democrats
and grangers fused that year and Tay
lOr was put at the head of the ticket
He was the only one Of the ticket
elected. During his term the famous
Potter law, creating a commission tC
regulate and fix railroad rates was
passed, not very different from the
present commission.
The agitation, it seems, was thirty
years in advance of it's time. The su
Dreme court, in q noted opinion by
Justice Ryan, sustained the valiity Of
the Potter law, but the succeeding leg
islature repealed it. Gov. Taylor was
not reelected, but was succeeded by
Harrison LudingtOn Of Milwaukee.
After retiring from office Gov. Tay
lor formed what was known as the
Fort Scott (Kan) Cement company
The property was sold under the ham
mer of the law, and Gov. Taylor los

Philadelphia's New Cave.

Philadelphia has a new cave. The
sinking of a piece of ground in the
northeast corner of Washington
square, in that city, few feet from
the monument erected to the memory
of the revolutionary prisoners of war
who died in the jails Of Philadelphia,
revealed a small cavern of a depth of
about six feet. Through this at a
short distance from the surface extend
the roots of a large tree, whose safety
is menaced by the cavity. At the bot
tom appear to be the remains of some
old-time brickyard, of which the exact
character cannot readily be deter
mined, but which certain local wise
acres associate with the Walnut street
prison. AS Washington square was
once a potter's field, and rs the old
prison stood facing the square, the
revelations resulting fror1 this cav
ern may present subject for Phila.
delphia antiquarians.
