FEDERAL PLUMS GETTING RIPE.

1t was generally believed when Pres
ident Wilson was elected that State
Senator S. w. Randolph who had been
an original Wilson man was going to
land good federal appointment. The
senator had his eye fixed on collector
Of revenue, the best job, but it went to
Paul Hemmy who had shifted his allie
glance from the Karel wing to the Da-
es-Aylward wing Of the Democratic
party. The senator was placated and
was supposed to be in line for U. S.
marshall. He plunged into the fight
to elect Paul Husting, his intimate
personal and political friend, to the
United States senate, which was accom-
plished. Randolph is now believed to
be able to get any appointment that
senator-elect Husting can control. Ru-
NOR now says that Hustng has locked
horns with National Committeeman
Davis in an attempt to get the appoint
ment as collector Of the port of Milwau-
kee for Randolph. This'and the mar
shallship each pay about s4500 per
year. Senator Randolph is by every
consideration entitled to a good Office.
There are no new developments in
the local post-of!lce. No new names
have appeared In the want column.
According to advices from Washington
the salary Of the local Office is to be
cut from about $1,000 to $500 per year,
but that will have no effect upon the
coming struggle for the appointment.

Michael Dunbar, n pioneer settler OF
Liberty, this county, died last Friday
at the home of his daughter, Mrs, Nc
Dermot, Beaver Creek, MINI. He was
50 years of age and his health had been
poor for several months. Deceased
was horn in County Limerick, Ireland
in 1882. He came to this country in
1851 and to Wisconsin in 1854. DE was
married 10 Margaret Grove and they
settled in Liberty in 1855. His wife
died 2l years ago. Mr.. Dunbar made
his home On the old farm in Liberty for
over As years. The place was sold
some l5 years ago and he resided with
his son Joseph at Silver Lake for eight
years. About five years ago he left

of his children are living, and since
then had made his home with his
daughter. He is survived by six child
ren, John of Seymour, Wis, william

Joseph, George and Mrs. McDemott of
Beaver Creek. Minn.
Mr.. Dunbar was well known in the
southern part Of the county and in this
city, and was highly respected by all
with whom he was acquainted. He
was man of integrity, honesty and
true worth; man of excellent habits
fine moral character and sturdy consti
tuition and he continued to be active in
his accustomed pursuits till long past
the age at which men ordinarily drop
out of the ranks of the workers. He
was good neighbor and there was no
happier family circle in the land than
his.~ He filled the various relations of
life, as son, husband, father, brother,
friend and filled them well. Who can
do morep
But he is gone. Another name is
stricken from the ever lessening roll
of our old settlers. Yet in such death
there is really no cause for grief. His
life work was done and we'll done
The body was brought here for bur-
ial and was inferred in the cemetery at
St. Nazianz Wednesday morning.
Peace to his soul.

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

| LETTER FROM GENERAL LEE ITO
HIS SoN.--The original of the follow
ing private letter from Gen. Lee to his
son was found at Arlington House,
and is interesting as illustrating IA
phase in his character:
darlington House, April 5, 1852.
"My dear son-I am just in the act
of leaving bone for New Mexico. My
fine old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and | must hasten
to see that they are properly taken
care of. ! have but little to add in re-
ply to your letters Of March 26, 81, and
2S. Your letters breathe a true spirit
of frankness; they have given myself
and your mother great pleasure. You
must study to be frank with the world:
frankness is the child of honesty and
courage. Say what you mean to do on
every occasion, and take it for grant
ed you mean to do right. If a friend
ask favor, you should grant it, if it is
reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why
you cannot, YOU will wrong him and
wrong yourself ty equivocaton of any
kind. Never do a wrong thing to make
a friend or keep one; the man who re-
quires you to do SO is dearly purchased
at a sacrifice. Deal kindly, but firmly
with your classmates; you will find it
the policy that wears best. Above all,
do not appear to others what you are
not. If you have any fault to find with
anyone, tell him, not others, of what
you complain: there isno more danger
GUS experiment than that of undertake
ing to be one thing before a mans face
and another behind his back. We
should live, act, and say nothing TO the
injury of any one. 1t is not only best
as a matter of principle, but it is the
path of peace and honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in conclu-
sion of this hasty letter, inform you
that nearly one hundred years ago
there was day of remarkable gloom
and darkness-still known as the dark
day-a day when the light of the sun
was slowly extingulshed, as if by an
eclipse. The legislature OF Connect
cut was in session, and, as its members
saw the unexpected and unaccountabe
darkness coming on, they shared in
the general awe and terror, 1t was
supposed by many that the last day
the day of judgment come Some
one, 10 The CONSERVATION of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator, Daven-
port of Stanford who said, that, if
the last day had come, he desired to
be found at his place, doing his duty,
and, theref ore, moved that candles he
brought in, so that the house could
proceed with its duty. There was
quietness in that mans mind--the
quietness of heavenly wisdom-an in
flexible willingness to obey present du
ty, then, Is the subimesJ word in our
language. Do your duty in all things
like the old Puritan. You cannot do
more; you should never wish to do less.
Never let me and your mother wear
one grey hair for any lack of duty on
your part.

gram will be ready in a few days and
published and distributed freely.
| The topics will be discussed by peo-

lures 10 this meeting as follows

Second, the boys corn and alfalfa
contest.
Third, the bankers corn and grain
contest.

possible for our association TO conduct
this contest The purpose of this con-
test is to encourage the selection and
use of Pure Bred Seeds high yielding,
acclimated to the locality in which it
is to be grown ana certain of germina-
tion under adverse weather conditions,
and at the same time to encourage i'm
provempnt in general agricultural
practices.
This Farmers Contest will be con-
Quoted for two years. Next year the
grain raised from the seed received
this year will be exhibited together
with the old variety and thus we will
be able to see the difference between
the two kinds.
The Bankers of this city are giving
the cash prizes for both the Boys con-
test and also the Contest for the Far
mers. our county association feels
highly pleased 10 have the bankers as
sist it in bringing about greater desire
for the pure bred grains, and also in
the association in distributing these
seeds TO the farmers and in making
them feel that there really is some
thing to this important matter of the
selection Of Pure Bred Seeds.
More details and particulars will be
sent out TO the members in the shape
of printed or typewritten matter later.
This is the time of the year TO order
your seed grain If YOU have some to
sell bring sample, If you want to buy
some come to the meeting and order
it.
Everybody has plenty of time to at
tend this meeting at this time of the

s4,573,ooo FOR TROOPS.
Cost of Mexican Action Thus Far In
Extraordinary Expenses.


The war of SERVICE" as President
Wilson described the presence of Amer
lean troops in Mexico, is not without
cost. In the end the figures may run
up far into millions. and thus far the
outgo for the army is not small. With
the navy there has been little expendi-
ture over and above the regular main
tenance appropriations. In the case of
the army there has been transporta-
tion, equipment, subsistence in the field
under conditions causing excessive ex-
pense and many other unusual items.
Major General j. B. Aleshire, the
quartermaster general. at the request
of the secretary of war, has made an
estimate of the extraordinary expendi-
lures for the movement of troops thus
far. The total amounts to $4,573, 1856
OF this $2,5OO.OOO is for transportation.
$1,1OO,OO0 for subsistence. in which is
included the purchase of the supply of
beef at Vera Cruz from the navy. as
the army has no refrigerator ship
there. and $4,000 for additional or
foreign pay for officers and men.
1t Is expected that there will be
large cum required for the payment of
rent for quarters for officers and men
at Vera Cruz. In the meantime the
war department has authorized the ex-
penditure of $4,000 in Vera Cruz for
sanitation.
