Only One Sea Power.

In the audacity Of puny triumphs
nations are called sea powers, but
there is only one sea power, and that
is the sea itself. Ear famed our ma
vies melt away" Within a hundred
yards of the best charted shore stout
ships are as bubbles. That sea that is
as familiar when calm to little boats
and ferries and tugs as are the thor
oughfares Of a city to its crowd of
humanity takes on all the aspect of
chaotic terror when winds and storms
prevail. The waters SO close as to re-
feet the friendly lights of the great
metropolis are as alien to the forces Of
men as are the depths of the farthest
ocean. Lord Byron's "Apostrophe" has
lost none Of it's tremendous reality in
all the progress from the little wooden
sailers to our greatest merchantmen
and ironclads. Nor can it's truth be
lessened in all the maturest develop
ment we can dream of.-Kansas City

At his home in this city, Tuesday. MAY
5, Henry Campbell died, aged IS. One
by one the early pioneers of Wisconsin
are being called to pass beyond the
great divide, there to meet the ones who
have preceded them and to await the
coming of those who are left behind.
Notwithstanding that Mr. Campbell was
one OF the early settlers, his life work
has been of such a nature and of such
an unassuming manner that he was re-
spected and honored by large number
of friends.
Mr. w Ell Owen, who resided on Gar
field avenue in this city, died at his
home Sunday night, the cause OF his
death being heart disease, to which he

very short time. Mr. Owen was one of
the early settlers here, but of late years
had not been living here, having re-
turned last fall. He was photograph
err by occupation and we'll known to
most of our citizens. He leaves sorrow
ing him his widow and one brother, who
resides at or near Footville.

bank of Belleville, who is charged with
embezzlement, from $4,000 to $4,000.
Attorney M Clancy, counsel for
Story, had asked for reduction of
$1,000. The court feels, however, that
he could not consistently reduce the
bond that much, in view of the serious
charge against Story.

Snyder, who is charged with being one
of the two men who held up Nels Ander-
son, a farm hand, near Stoughton. Sny-
der was arrested at Glendale, Montana.

to be on the lookout for him. Anderson

kept secret by the authorities, and

a scattering of scrub oaks began to

with crimson. A little farther and the
trees began to show spiral wreaths of

But Williston was growing impa-

in slight depression where he
would be pretty we'll hidden, and Will

hold was lacking, he simply let him

or branch that presented itself in his
daredevil course.
Arrived at the bottom, he found his
clothes torn and his hands bleeding;
but that was nothing With grim de-
termination he made his way through
the ravine and struck across the sand
trail with sure realization of his
danger, but without the least abate-
ment of his resolution. The sand was
firm under his feet. The water had

"On the TRAIL"

Williston himself came to the door.
His thin, scholarly face looked drawn
and worn in the midday glare. A
tiredness in the eyes told graphically
of sleepless night.
I'm glad to see you, Langford," he
said. 1T was good of you to come.
Leave your horse for Mary. She'll
give her water when she's cooled off
