Milwaukee. 1t is said he has the money

Three tired citizens-a lawyer, a
doctor and a newspaper man-sat in q
back room recently in the gray light
of the early dawn. On the table were
many empty bottles and couple of
packs of cards. As they sat in silence,
a rat scurried across the hearth into
the darkness beyond. The three men
shifted their feet and looked at each
other uneasily. After long pause the
lawyer spoke:

TOWN UNDER WATER.
Village of Boaz in Richland County
Nearly Ruined by Flood.

~~oo~~o-~oo~

The village of Boaz, having popula-
ton of 400 has been entirely submerged
as a result of the Wisconsin river over
flowing. A number of the houses have
been moved from their foundations, car
ried along distances ranging from 100
yards to a mile, and set down on some
high elevations. The people of the town
moved about in boats gathering up their
property. In some places the water was
from six to ten feet deep with an average
depth of four feet. Provisions have been
brought from the neighboring towns. but
the roads are so bad that it is impossible
to supply the people who are in need.
Most of the inhabitants went to Mus
coda. Among the places submerged were
the following: William Barnes flour mill,
the Berry hotel, H. T. Berry's saloon,
Fish & Peterson, stave factory; Thomas
Johnson's cheese store. Keppler Co. gem
eral store; Oss Oulland's sawmill, t. W.

Mother of Soldier Who Died In Cuba
Unbalanced.

Caroline Singleman aged 81 years, died
IL horrible agony in Manitowoc, as the
result of having swallowed tie heads
from a box of matches. This was Mrs.
Singleman's third attempt to kill herself,
her first being made early in June, fol
lowing her detention. by officers on
charge of taking flowers which had been
placed on soldiers graves on Memorial
day. The matter became public, and
the unfortunate woman, unable to bear
the disgrace, attempted to kill herself,
but was prevented. She was again ar
rested, this time on a shoplifting charge,
and again she tried to commit suicide.
Being again prevented, she awaited
further opportunity, and while alone in
the house she ate the heads off box of
matches. Mrs. Singleman was well
known in Manitowoc 1t is believed that
grief over the death of her son, Charles
Singleman, who died in Cuba while serv-
ing as a soldier during the Spanish
American war. unbalanced her mind.

distinction of having gagged the House

And yet Senator Cullom and Speaker
