MiSSE Or@Qrd
Is To face
MononQ AOe.

Miss Forward, the statue which is
to adorn the pinnacle of the great Cap
itol dome at Madison, will face Monona
avenue when it finally is elevated to
its permanent position according to the
Madison Democrat.
The question has been the subject of
much controversy and newspaper dis
cussion but was settled some time ago
by action of the Capitol Commission
and che architects. When the statue,
which is an heroic one, designed
by Daniel c.. French of NewYork, done in
bronze and covered with specially beat
en- gold leaf, will be raised to its final
resting place depends upon the outcome
of the strike now prevailing there.
Just why the claims of those who have
urged that the statue should face the
university or of that other contingen
insisting that it face the rising sun,
have been disregarded is not explaina-
BILE but it it is evident that sentiment
has been set aside and the figure is to
front that direction where it will face
the largest number of persons, partic-
ularly strangers in the city.

Why Girls Like to be Pretty

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion appears friendly talk to girls
who love beauty. The author explains
as follows, why as a girl she wanted to
be beautiful aud the reason that is gen
orally at the bottom of desire for
beauty:
81 wanted the power which, already,
without reasoning about it, | knew
beauty to possess.
"And that is, am sure, at the bot
tom of every girls wish for beauty,
though she herself may not know it..
And all this claptrap talk about vanity
is very claptrap indeed beside this real
reason. We want beauty because it
is power, and-let all the mothers
and older people shake their heads at me
if they like-it is right and normal an d
healthy for girl to want power, and
would not give snap of my finger for
the girl who did not want it.. @ ~,
eve all have, as Stevenson says, a
great thirst for consideration. "

Huge Gourd
Comes Here
For Society

A mammonth gourd came to Baraboo
this morning, being brought here by
Macy Hutchens of Wonewoc in whose
possession it has been for many, many
years. 1t was grown by his father,
Thomas Hutchens, in Randolph county,
Indiana, in 1854 and has been pre-
served by the Hutchens family ever
since. 1t grew up at the corner of the
log cabin where Macy Hutchens was
born and the tow string through the
end by which it can be carried was also
spun from hemp raised on the farm
where the gourd grew. 1t measures
three feet, three inches in circumfer-
ence one way and lacks but an inch of
beingfive feet in circumference the
other way
During the sixty years of it's exis-
tence the gourd has been used as a hall
bushel measure and is a little worse
for wear-several large rents in its
skin having been sewn up by some low
ing hand to preserve it. Mr.. Hutchens
will place the curiosity in the Sank
County Historical society museum for

Evansville Girl Attacked

with an assault upon a young girl, ever
reported to the local police at James
vile occurred yesterday between ten
forty-five at the apartments of George
w. Bresee in the Schmidley flats on
North High street.
That the thief did not secure valua-
bles for his daring attempt is probably
Que to the bravery of Miss Florence
Bresee, who met the robber
at the back door of the apart
ment as he was forcing his entrance
and attacked him with an embroidery
stiletto she was working with, stab
bing him on his right wrist as he broke

through the screen door and then, even
though covered with an ugly looking
revolver, resisted his advance into the
house until overpowered and bound face
downwards to large brass bedstead.
With gag forced into her mouth she
could not scream for aid.
Evidently by this time the thief be
came frightened, or weak from his
wound, for he escaped out of the back
door, leaving Miss Bresee bound to the
bed and disappeared. AS far as can be
learned, except for ransacking a few
drawers, from which nothing is mis-
sing, the intruder obtained nothing of
value.

NO RAILROADING TO DEATH.

Gov. Hooper made statement this
week that a negro "was railroaded tc
the electric chair" speaking in the
case of John Williams, who was con.
victedaof murder after a short trial
and sentenced to the electric chair.
This set several judges over at Nash.
Vile in Juror, and they fired back at
the governor The result was a clear,
concise statement from the governor,
which showed up the situation. The
tendancy mas been so far that because
white man Is poor, or negro lie
both poor and colored, that neither
should have the full protection of the
court. The object of court is to
prove man guilty, not to assume
that he is and not give him half a
chance to protect himself. In our es-
timation this rule should hold good
equally as we'll for the black man as
thu white man. Hooper's nerve in
this matter ~ to be commended The
court, in this case, appointed counsel

trial, and little effort was made to
save the man from the electric chair,
although proven that be was drunk
when he committed the crime. After
sentencing the man to the peniten-
tiary, which should have been done,
instead of the electric chair, to keep
the balance of justice perfectly true,
the trial judge should have had the
men who sold tue negro wbiskey in
four different saloons hailed up be-
fore him, aud upon eviden ce to this
fact, which appeared on the record,
should have ordered them to the rock
pile along with the negro. We say, in
this christian age of ours, that it is
useless to reason with a drunken
white man, and in many communities
we let him go and do as he pleases,
but we feed the drunken negroes who
kill to the rope or to the electric
chair. This is not right, and Govern.
or Hooper and thousands of residents
of the State know it is not right
