ties of State.

100000 BLAZE AT AMIGO
Business District Suffers Big Fire
Loss-Chr,stma Stocks Go
Up in Smoke.

Amigo, Wis-Antigo suffered one
of the greatest fire losses in it's his
tory when the M. Krom & Co.'s stock
and the Cleary buildings were de-
stroyed.
The loss to the stock and buildings
is estimated at 100000. The stock
of the Spencer Drug company was
also badly damaged and the Ameri-
can Express company's Office was
ruined. The Krom stock was valued
at $4,000, and was only partially
covered by insurance. The buildings
will be rebuilt and will again be oc-
cupied by the Krom company.
The fire was started by the opening
of a gas jet, and an explosion in the
basement of the Krom store.

FOURTEEN HUNTERS KILLED
This Is State Game Warden Ricke-
mans Record of Fatalities
in the State,

Madison. = Fourteen fatalities, re-
sulting from careless or accidental dis
charge OF firearms in the hunting camps
OF Wisconsin, compared with thirty
three in 1909, is the record appearing
in the office of Game Warden G. w.
Rickeman. That the greatly reduced
number is at least partly due to his
suggestion that hunters wear red caps
while in the woods, is the belief of
Warden Rickeman, though he has no
faith that that practice will entirely
do away with the slaughter of men by
needless, amateur hunters. However,
the record is gratifying in that it shows
a great reduction, while the number of
hunters was the largest in the annals
of the department.

AUTOMOBILE TURNS TURTLE
Illinois Business Man Crushed Fatally
Under Ponderous Machine
Near Darlington.

Darlington.-J. W. Oliver, a promin-

was killed and a companion named
White, also of Apple River, slightly in
jured in an automobile accident about
four miles from here. The men had
visited this city early in the afternoon
On business and started for home about
dusk In attempting to make a sharp
turn Oh a rough hill on the Shullsburg
road about four miles south of Darling
ton. the driver lost control Of the ma
chine and it plunged down an embank-
ment about fifteen feet high, turning
turtle and pinning both men under the
machine.
number of teams were in the vicin-
lty at the time and were at the scene
Of the accident in a few minutes. The
car was lifted and the men removed as
quickly as possible. Oliver was con-
%IOuS when removed, but became un-
conscious and died before medical aid
arrived. He is survived by a widow
dnd family.
From the condition of the machine it
would seem that the driver had started
up Ihe hill at high speed and those who
Nd" the machine shortly before the ac-
"urut confirm this conjecture.

A BATTLE FIELD "WlTH BLOODY
coRsEs SrREWN"

The smoke of the 'ssecond" battle
fought by Revolutionisls at Saratoga
has cleared away, the wounded are be-
ing taken care of, and the dead are
being buried. The results are pathet-
ic. Those who fell under the merciless
fire of the Roosevelt batteries and
"machine" guns, were never before
defeated. They have been in control,
absolute control, of all of the machine
ry, as we'll as the machine guns, from
time immemorial. These guns were
shotted with silver and gold. When
fired they struck the lines in the cen.
ter, and they at once began.to waver.
Soon they were scattered, and soon
thereafter there was complete sur
rerder. In this last battle there was a
change of tactics. The battle was
fought on new lines, the artillery Of
The cold Guard" was like the Old
Guard itself, of an ANTICIPATED pattern,
and seemed rusty, and unwieldy. The
ammunition had lain too long in the
magazine, and instead of believing
forth its deep resonant roar of former
conflicts il flashed in the pan, it was a
mere squib in the conflict, and its
sound was overwhelmed by the thun-
der Of the enemy's artillery. 1t was
pathetic, and one hardly has the heart
to exult. When We see the mangled
remains of the late Sunny James
Schoolcraft Sherman borne off the
field to his last resting place; when the
late VIM. Barnes, so confident, so
cheerful, SO smiling in the absolute
knowledge of his own power. is now
beneath the daisies; when we behold
Abe Gruber, the orator, the Patrick
Henry, of the occasion, who with
wrapt eloquence, and flowing speech,
plead for liberty or death, carried to
the hospital for repairs, his jaw brok-
en-, and probably his limbs torn so as
to render HIM future wreck, we can
not grow more than mildly exultant.
We can only say with the poet, this
has smoved mine heart to tina nkful-
ness" but has "melted mine eyes to
tears"

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

The effort of a writer of the name OF
Woodson who seems to sit about Rich
mond and write industrial articles,
some of which are intended to disrar-
age the work of Commissioner oi
Agriculture Koiner in his efforts to
help apple growers just now, as his
dissertation in the Times-Dispalch OF
Sunday, the 25th indicates, should get
of Cary Street to hunt real industrial
information. The industrial articles
IN the mes-Dispatch will be greatly
reduced iu influence, interest, value
and veracity in this quarter since they
are known to proceed from sources OF
such paucity,as well as sources entirely
adverse to the vast fruitgrowing sec
lions of the state. The Hmes-Dispatch
would do well to train with the lambs
a bit instead of the wolves, as it has
done in this industrial article ~.
Thus in industrial learning and lore
the world is humbugged by seers who
write on subjects on which their igno-
rance is profound.

SAND THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED
TO SEE SUCH SPORT"

It is amusing to hear varions SIM
ners shout over the apparent bolt"
by Mr.. Bryan OF Dahlman. democrat
ic candidate for governor OF Nebras-
ka. 1t let's in light where there was
absolute darkness before. When any
one asks you if you have heard that
Mr.. Bryan is now a bolter, you are
then facing either bolter or sulker
of 1896. The interrogation is just
showing his true colors. But the glee
with which they have seized the news
and shout about it, is truly marvellous.
Mr.. Bryan has refused to speak for a
man who represents all that Mr.. Bryan
does not represent on the whiskey
question. Mr.. Bryan has gotten into
the class of Cleveland, the arch bolter
of modern times but is by no means as
reprehenslble, because Mr.. Cleveland
boited the very party that made him.
Mr.. Bryan was never made by any
party. He owes nothing to Democracy
nor any other political party. He
made it when Cleveland had destroy
ed it, and there were just enough
boilers in it to prevent the party from
succeeding. II Mr.. Bryan had not
held the party together after Cleve-
land, there would not have been
enough of it left TO grease skillet.
If it was right in Cleveland to bolt. 1T
is equally right in Bryan and he it
said to Mr.. Bryan's credit, that he re-
fuses to work for DahimaE because he
regards his views on a vital question,
a "moral" question in Mr.. Bryan's
eyes, as wrong. There was no moral
question at stake with Cleveland
and his followers. They had sordid
motives. It was their dollars that turn
ed them. MIR. Bryan has said one
thing in regard 70 boiling and on that
he voices our sentiments and that OF
millions of democrats, and it is this:
"No 1896 bolter need apply for the
presidential nomination. If he
does he ought not to expect Mr..
Bryan's support. He cannot get ours.
