a pleasant one in Waukesha.

Other State News.

Madison, Wis. Aug. T1.-That the
practices OF the Marathon County
Railroad company, owned by Lieuten-
ant Governor w. D. Conner, jare '''un-
lawful, inequitable and socially and
economically parasitic" is the ,conclu-
sion of a decision handed down by the
railroad commission on a complaint
lodged against the road by Nicholas
Streveler. The commission found that
In some cases passengers were carried
free over this road, and in many cases
less than carload lots of lumber did
not have to pay freight.
AT the hearing a month ago Con.
nor set up the defense that his road
was not a common carrier, and hence
not subject to regulation. In handing
down its decision the rate commits
sion declared the road to be COM
mon carrier. The commission or,
dered that the rates on lumber, which
were declared eXtortionate, be re-
duced from 50 to 81 car respective
ly to $3.50 and $3.50 a car.

RESULT OF A WHISKEY WAR
Somebody Starts to Burn a Methodist
Church but Don't Finish
the Job,

Racine, wis, Aug. 15.-Residents
of the village of Union Grove, fifteen
miles west of this city, are stirred up
over the discovery that an attempt has
been made to burn the Methodist
church, the largest house Of worship
in the place. Two large holes were
cut through the side of the building
and stuffed with fine paper, and this
was saturated with Kerosene. A son
of Rev. w. s. Perry, pastor of the con-
gregation, was the one who discovered
the holes, paper and oil.
Just why the combustibles were not
touched off is not clear, but possibly
the miscreants We're frightened away
or repented. There has been bitter
fight among the people of Union Grove
over the question Of license OF no Ii
cense. Whether the enemies of the
church, whose pastor was in the fight,
are at the bottom of the attempt at
arson is not known.

Government Ownership One of the
Weapons Strikers May Use.

Chicago. Aug. 20. = The strike of
telegraphers has passed apparently to
the phase of a test of endurance, and
is being strictly fought by both sides
to the controversy. Government own
ership of the telegraph lines has been
raised as the slogan of the strikers.
President Small issued circular let
ter to all the chapels Of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' union and to the
Federations of Labor all over the Unit
ed States, declaring that half Of the
SIO,OOOOO0 fund which labor has I'M
dertaken to roll up for the winning of
this strike would be reserved for ma
tional agitation in favor Of the. govern
ment ownership Of the telegraph lines
Small also sent out another circular
pIedging the executive board to do all
IN its power to secure a congressional
investigation of the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies, and
requesting all the branches Of the an,
ion to compile sworn affidayits cover
ing the failure of the companies to
handle the public business. These af-
fdavits will include evidence Of teie-
Grams paid for in advance by the pub
lie and forwarded by the companies
by mail.
Both telegraph companies made ad-
ditions to their forces working the in
struments on the floor of the Board of
Trade, and the managers said they
were in touch with all the principal
grain and stock points of the country
Four men were added to the Western
Union staff OH the exchange floor, max
| ing a total force, with managers, OF
fourteen, while the Postal opened two
more circuits, which made its total
force twelve, making force of TWEEN
ty-six men in all, where under or
binary conditions 100 operators are
employed.
Although it was announced by the
unions officers on Saturday that they
would issue a call for the cable opera
| tors to strike, so far such call has
| not been sent out. All union business
was suspended by the telegrapher:
