An Unanswered Question.

Rambler in the Madison Indepen-
dent Press says: A short time ago
the Rambler was talking with ]. F.
jacobson about matters and things of
forty and fifty years ago when he
asked: Where have the wild pigeons
of those days gone. what has become
of them? ?" He might have asked
something easier. Time was when
thousands of men still active in the
affairs of life remember that in the
migrations rorthward in April, and
southwark in October, the sun was
sometimes darkened with the vast
numbers of these birds that were
flying overhead Often for hours at
a time, their flying squadrons were
in sight. This was true in states
alohg the Atlantic Eeaboard as well as
in The Mississippi Valley. Branches
of great trees were sometimes broken
down by the weight of these 6ocks
as they alighted. And now they seem
to have disappeared even more com
pletely than the buafflo and a year
ago $500 was offered by the National
Association Of Audubon Societies for
the discovery of single pair of nest
| ing wild pigeons. Apparently none
has been found thus far. and now the
offer is increased to $1,000 That
they Lave vanished seems unbeliev.
ahle.
What become of, or what caused
the sGiden disappearance Of the mil.
lio9s apon millions Of wild pigeons il
plem men of science who hay,
studied the subject are today unable
to solpa. Fifty years ago they were
to be seen in countless numbers, anC
about thirty years ago they disappeared
entirely. The last time we saw then
was the first spring we were in Gran
ite Falls. 1880. we remember we'll Q:
a flight of these birds over what il
known here as the Dresser hill. A
flock of thousands upon thousands
would settle upon a wheat field ant
isimply roll across it like a huge wave
and they did it in this way, those a
the rear were continually rising, fly
ing forward and alighting down il
front. so there was continuou
movement, just like wave rolling
along. The thirty year old man neve
saw a wild pigeon. - Granite Fall

Posed as Darkies.

A farmers wife living east of Nor
ris sends us a communication com.
planning of the antics of certain young
people on Christmas night. The letter
says -
"On Christmas night east of Nor
ris in Framnas township. bunch Of
darkies tramped into a farm house
trying to scare them say. money,
money. They were dressed in over
alls. Some of them had on horrible
looking false faces while some of
them had their hands and faces black
ened and their face and head tied up
with rags. They had bottles contain
ing something which looked like whise
key. They drank this and accidentally
one darky dropped his whiskey bottle.
Then the farmers wife got cross and
kicked them out. They did no, feel
as gay after they got out doors as
they did when they first walked in."

FAIRFIELD BOY DROWNED
Six Year Old Fell Into Open
Water Near Appleton.

Holloway Herald 1t is indeed
sad tale. the story of the drowning
of little Milton Koehler, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Gust Koehler of Fairfield.
Mr.. Xoehler and family came to
Appleton Saturday to visit Grandpa
and Grandma Ritzke, who live on the
bank of the river in the Scott cottage.
Mr.. Koehler came over to town in
the evening to make some purchases,
one being tablet for little Milton.
AS he was returning shortly before
six, he saw men running towards the
mill and upon inquiry was told that
a little boy had been drowned. He
thought at once of his son, and soon
bis worst fears were realized.
Many conflicting stories are being
told of.the drowning of the boy, but
we think the facts are substantially
as follows:
Milton and one of the Koenstrup
boys went out on the pond to play
with q sled, the Koenhstrup boy
pulling Milton on the sled. As the
boys neared the mill dam some ladies
on the shore became alarmed and
called to them to come back, but they
apparently did not hear. Just before
they came to an open place near the
mill where an exhaust pipe keeps the
water from freezing, the boy drawing
the sled turned quickly. upsetting the
sled and throwing Milton off. The
little fellow got up and walked into
the open place, the surface of which
and the ice surrounding it were GOV
cred with dust from the mill, making
it hard to distinguish ice from water.
There were good many small boys
on the pond at the time, but none ole
enough to know what to do. The
persons who witnessed the accident
made the fatal mistake of rushing uI
town for help instead of notifying the
mill force. Before any one could gel
to the pond from town, T. II. Dawson,
head miller, having learned of the &C
cjdent, ran out on the ice and in al
! instant had pulled the boy out of th'
water. he was carried into the mil
and every thing possible was done t
restore life. Three OF four doctor
labored for four hours in a vain at
tempt to revive him.
It is estimated that the boy was il
the water about fifteen minutes.
The funeral was held on Monday a
the Fairfield church. A very larg
concourse of friends and neighbor
gathered to give what consolation the,
could, but the scene at the church an
at the grave was too pitiable an
heart-rending for human sympathy t
assuage. May God in his mercy fin
balm for the bleeding hearts of tn
parents.
Little Milton was 6 years. 9 month
and / day old. He was very activ
little fellow and. as is the case wit
such boys. often was the cause Q
great anxiety to his father and moth
er. About three or four weeks ag
he narrowly escaped burning to deaf
| when he set fire to his fathers mach
inc shed in trying to start the case
line engine.
