The Joke Was on the Family

There was cruel man,
Who had a careless wife;
And he had a stupid notion
About insurance on his life.
He said it was a soak,

His children had to suffer,
And his widow felt the joke.
Every man owes it to his family to
carry a policy in safe life insurance

JULY IS IS TO Be
WISCONSIN DAY"
At the Alaska-Yukon Pacific
Exposition.
Over $4,000 Former Citizens of the
Badger State Now Reside in State
of Washington.

Seattle, Washington, Feb. 2S.-The
Wisconsin Society of Seattle, Une of
the largest state associations in the
northwest, has taken mp with enthu-
siasm the matter of the states rep
resentation at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition. There are now
resident in Seattle, 1000 former
citizens of the Badger state and in the
commonwealth of Washington there
are 90, 600. and everyone oe them, city
and state, is evidently determined
that the old home shall provide a
feature of the exposition and take TO
the full opportunity for the ex-
ploitation of Wisconsins remarkable
resources.
To this end the society has directed
an address to the legislature of the
Seattle setting forth the advantages of
representation at the Fair and telling
of the thousands of Badgers now liv-
ing in Washington who would feel
chagrined, to put it mildly, should
their home state not make suitable
provision.
The address is signed by Jackson
S;lbaugh, President of the Society
Charles Fl. Baxter, secretary; A. r.
Fraser, Treasurer; and ". 81. Fleet
and j. G. Rathbun of the committee
on representation.
Tuesday, July 18th has been des-
ignated as Wisconsin day and it is
planned to make it one of the most
remarkable state days of the EXPOSE
ton Invitations will be forwarded
to the Governor of the state and many
Of Wisconsin's famous orators urging
them to come to Seattle and assist in
the celebration.
Utah, Wyoming Colorado, Nevada,
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and many
others are expected to have buildings
on the grounds and many of the state
buildings are either already finished
or we'll under way.
The officers of the Wisconsin
Society have asked the legislature of
their home state to send a repre-
sentative to Washington to look. over
the ground and MAKE the preliminary
arrangements for a building as there
is ample time left before the opening
day, not only for investigation but
for construction. The cheapness of
lumber and construction has also
been urged and President SiIbaugh is
confident that the Society's efforts
will meet with success.

BLA|NFS CHARGES
ALL FLATTEN OUT
His Documentary Proofs Appear
Mostly Idle Rumors.
Mysterious Papers Which He Said Were
Safely Locked Up Appear to
Have Been Myths.

Madison, Wis. March 1.-State
Senator j. j. Blaine and his
mysterious documents were eliminated
from the legislative investigation
committee field of inquiry today.
The documentary proof of the
sixteen sweeping charges which are
the basis of the present investigation
and which Mr. Blaine had hedged
about with so much portentous
mystery week ago, proved to the
ldlest sort of idle rumor.
Reduced to writing when produced
by Mr.. Blaine before the committee
today. the documents consisted of
letter written by James A Stone,
a Reedsburg attorney, to Mr.. Blaine
and two pencil memoranda written
by Mr.. Blaine himself.
The Stone letter conveyed the in
telligence to Mr.. Blaine that man
by the name of Keller had stated that
he had $500 of Stephenson money to
spend in the campaign. The
memoranda were records of a con-
versation with Henry G. Campbell,
managing editor of the Milwaukee
Journal.
The memoranda apparently were
made to refresh Mr.. Blaine's recol-
lection regarding some rumors
which Mr.. Campbell toll him
someone else had told him, the
truth of which he made no effort to
establish.
When Mr.. Blaine was witness
before the committee week ago he
refused to produce these documents
or disclose their hiding place on the
ground that they might be tempered
with by the parties under investiga-
tion thus put on their defense. In
consequence there was big throng in
the committee room when Senator
Blaine appeared.
However meager Senator Blaine's
proofs might be. he was none the
less defiant and di posed to catechiss
the committee. He made several
speeches and INDUCED in no end of
hifalutin obiter dicta on the prevail
ing degeneracy of the times. When
pinned down to rock bottom facts he
at last admitted that the charges were
merely an incident to get the in
vestigation under ay.-Free Press.

The All Day Sentinel.

On Monday, March 1.-The Mil
YANKEE Sentinel began an All-Day
newspaper. Beginning on that date
the sentinel company will keep it's
entire plant In operation the full
twenty -four hours each week day,
supplementing the morning edition
now published with afternoon edl-
tions.
Every edition will be complete
paper of all the news of the past
twenty four hours.
AS an earnest of it's faith in the
continued prosperity and growth of
Milwaukee, The Sentinel manage
ment has decided to launch it's new
enterprise, believing that this is the
proper time. In extending its service
until it covers the entire news field
for Milwaukee and Wisconsin read
ers The Sentinel has conferred with
many leading citizens as to the
advisability of the step, receiving en-
couragement and assurance of moral
and financial support from all sides.
So general is this feeling of good
will, SO firm the faith in the project
as a progressive, up to date business
enterprise, that the leading merchants
Of the city will be found represented
in its columns.
The morning editions of The
Sentinel will not only retain their
high standard as a newspaper, but
will also be strengthened and in
creased in size. The Sentinel's COM
plete associated Press service, it's
special correspondents at Washington
and Madison and throughout the state,
and its increased local staff will keep
it in it's high place among the in
fiuential metropolitan newspapers of
the country The afternoon editions
will be as high class as the morning
in every respect, containing full
United Press reports and complete
state and Washington news service,
while their superior local news will
keep the readers fully informed on
city events. The sporting page will
be the most complete in the city. 1t
will be home paper in every sense
of the word, and it will be The
Sentinel's aim to make it a paper
which will be read with pleasure by
every member of the family.
The price of the morning editions
will continue at two cents a copy :

Your Town.

More towns are held back for want
of confidence on the part of its
citizens men and lack Of public spirit
than any other cause, says a floating
editorial. When a man in search of
q house or a business location goes
into town and finds everything brim
full of hope and enthusiasm of the
prospects of the place and all earnest
II at work to build it up, he soon
becomes imbued with the same spirit,
and as result he drives down stakes
and and goes to work with the same
interest When, however, he goes to
a town where every one expresses
doubt and apprehension for the future
prosperity of the place, moping about
and indulging in mournful COM
plants, he naturally feels that it is
no place for him, and he at once
shakes the dust from his feet while
he pulls out with all possible speed
for some other place. Consequently
try to make live, enterprising town
out of the town in which you live.
When you are working for your town
you are accomplishing all the more for
yourself

LAST WEEKS STORM
BLOCKADED TRAINS
Passengers Spent Night in Snow
drift Near Montfort.
Railroad Men Have Had Troubles of
Their Own to Contend With
During February.

A snow storm that shut off pas
s, niger and freight service on the
Northwestern and hindered overland
travel visited this section last week.
Snow started to fall Tuesday evening
and continued throughout that night.
On Wednesday a gale of wind swept
over the country and blew it into the
railroad cuts and all other places
where it could lodge AS result no
trains reached here until Thursday
afternoon. This city had no mail
service from Tuesday until Thurs
day except that brought in by the
stages. Both the passenger and
freight trains left here Wednesday
morning, neither of them taking the
pillow that stands on the siderrack
near the round house, although the
snow was drifting badly at the
time Neither of these engines
was equipped with even a pilot pillow
and neither of them came back until
late in the week. Conditions east
of Montfort were met by the manage
ment Of the G & N. w. in much the
same manner as here. only that it
sent freight train from Madison
bound west, double headed and
pulling string of % cars. ahead of
the passenger This train was stalled
in the snow near Dodgeville and the
passenger crew spent pleasant day
helping the freight crew move it's
train out of the drift. Passengers
bound to Lancaster from the east
finally reached Montfort and were
pulled out of there by a double
header, but no snow pillow and enjoyed
a night in drift this side of Mont
fort. Thursday morning they were
taken back to Montfort and there
many had their first meal since the
noon of the day previous Most of
them arrived home at 2 p. m. Thurs
day. It is the general opinion that
although the drifts were quite bad,
the company met conditions in a
manner certain to be Intellectual.
