Child Shoots Brother.

Jacob Wilken, four years old, and
Henry Wilken, ten years old, sons of
Mr. and Mrs Dick Wilken, living near
Freeport, were playing Indian Sunday
afternoon, staging their show in the
sewing room, just off of the sitting
room. Little Jacob was armed with a
small bore rifle, while his brother
handled a - gauge single barrel shot
gun which he did not know was loaded.
Both weapons had been left standing in
a corner of the room, the shutgun hav
ing been used Saturday by Mr. Wilken
in shooting chicken hawks.
Jocob snapped the trigger of the
rifle. laughing in his childish
glee as he did SO. Henry, thinking the
shotgun was unloaded, replied to the
attack" made by Jacob but instead Of
only snap of the trigger, there was
roar as the shell was discharged, it's
contents lodging full in the chin and
neck of the younger boy. He died in
5tantly, no word being uttered by him
after the shot had been fired.-Galena

River Locks at Gaiena Deemed

Platteville Journals 1t is altogether
probable that the government locks at
Galena will not be improved and will
be left to their fate. Under date of
April 81 Gen. Black, chief of engineers
of the army, submitted to congress
a report recommending the abandon
ment of the lock in the Galeua river
and suggesting the rejection of the
two plans proposed for the improve
ment OF the stream.
Gen. Black says that in addition
to the original cost of the locks,
100000, the government has expended
$59, 1888 in improvements and mainte-
nance. The district engineer recon-
mends the improvement be abandoned
by the United States or if this is not
found to be expedient that the lock be
operated at minimum expense. The
division engineers approved the latter
plan but the board of engineers and
the CHEZ of engineers hold that it
would be useless to operate the lock
longer.

ELECTRICITY MASTERS
THE MOUNTAIN BARRIERS

One Of the most stupendous problems
Of western railroading has been the
mountains. To lit the tremendous
tonnage of the transcontinental trains
over the mile in the air crests of the
mountains is a Herculean task under
the most favorable conditions, and
when snow fills the passes, and cold
beleaguers the fire boxes Of the steam
locomotive, the difficulties of mountain
operation become well nigh insuperable.
Remarkable, therefore, was the re-
cent record of one Of the "Milwaukee's"
new Electric Locomotives, pulling the
all steel ''Olympian" over the Rockies
receiving the train at Deer Lodge,
Montana, forty five minutes late, and
having to traverse the mile high pass of
the Great Continental Divide in the
dead Of winter, it made up the lost
time in the run of 115 miles and arrived
at Three Forks, Montana, on scheduled
time.
This astounding record shows that
the Electric Locomotive has proved
itself master of the Mountain Bar
riers," Fed with the tremendous en-
ergy Of the mountain streams, making
an ally of the cold weather which aids
in keeping the motors cool-it pene-
trates the snowdrifts with comparative
ease-hauls heavier loads with greater
dispatch and a pronounced saving in
cost, and opens new world of delights
to the traveller.
On your next trip to the Pacific North
Coast, take either of the superb all
steel trains, 'The Olympian, or "The
Columbian" over the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railway. and enjoy
the advantages of electric travel, COM
bined with unsurpassed scenery and
service.
For literature and full information,
apply to local ticket agent of this rail-
way.

Twenty one freight cars of ancient

has begun on the track from the
junction to Lancaster, where the new
rails have already been distributed
along the track. The work will then
be extended here and on east. There
are about a hundred men in the crew
and they have derrick to handle the
