EPILOGUE.

In the lengthening shadows Phyllis

who. quite regardless of the publicity
of their position. slipped an arm
around her waist.

demanded Iazily.
'Why, that all that awful night

To all appearances he was a casual

suspicion on the brain.
"Dont you think they'll be sent to

HONOR THE RISEN CHRIST
CHURCHES CELEBRATE FITTING
LY EASTER SUNDAY
Eyangelistic Services at Methodist and
Christian Churches--knights
Templar Worship

Easter Sunday dawned clear but cold
and that spirit of spring which is such
an essential part of Easter was regret
ably lacking. The temperature fell
rapidly during the day until it touched
the zero point during the night. II
was a general condition, following on
the heels of destructive tornadoes in
Minnesota and other states, and the
low temperature did great damage TO
fruits and early crops throughout the
nation. Inclement weather, however,
did not DIN the ardor of those who ga
therei into our houses Of worship to
&c homage to the risen Christ.
Morning service at the M. T.. church
was most beautiful The vocal work Of
Mr.. Troy and Mr.. Cotterell was in
spirational, as was that Of the chorus
choir of forty voices. The attendance
of the Knights Templar in uniform
added to the impressiveness of the &C.
casion. The message was most pow
erfui exposition Of personal service in
the cause of Christ.
Easter service at the Christian
church found the largest attendance in
months at the Bible school. Decision
Day was observed at the close of

school. At the morning service Evan
gelist w. J. Carry spoke on the theme
"Christ is Risen" A meeting was
held in the afternoon when the topic
"The Christians Armor" was given.
In the evening the choir rendered sew
eral appropriate Easter selections.
The Male Quartet rendered a number
The sermon was taken from the theme,
What Think Ye of Christi"
Bad roads prevented Rev. Supplee
from keeping his appointments on the
circuit, and the Easter services pre-
pared for that day will be rendered
next Sunday. The Liberty Pole Sun
day school, organized last December,
gave very fine program in the even
ing.
Main street Lutheran church and
Hauge's church were crowded to capaa
city TO listen to special Easter music
by their choirs and eloquent and ap-
propriate sermons by Revs. Hammer
and Bergen in the morning. In the
afternoon, Mr.. Hammer conducted
Easter services at Zion church.

VIROQUA WILL BUY AN OILER
Council Empowers the Mayor to Pur-
chase Second Hand Oiler
E J. OLDER, City Clerk.

Viroqua's council has empowered
Mayor Roseland to go ito Racine and
purchase from that city one of their
first-class horse drawn street oilers.
They are motorizing their oilers and
this enables our city TO secure a very
good machine at a moderate invest
ment. 1t is equipped with rotary
pump which sprays the oil onto
t h e road with considerable force.
The oiled road is the solution
of the problem, and the council is to
be commended for lining up on the
right side of this proposition.

FAMOUS DUEls

Richard Brinsley Sheridan. the
celebrated wit. author and statesman.
was compelled to fight a duel twice
with the same adversary when he was
still a young man, in order to win
his first wife. the beautiful Miss Lin
ley. who, at the time. was attracting
universal attention at the concerts
and theatres in Bath. These two
duels stand unequaled in the history
of single combats for ferocity and de-
termination. and troubles that Sheri-
dan encountered suggested to him
the writing Of his most famous play.
The Rivals" which was produced
when its author was only "a years Of
age.
When Sheridan became the sutton
Of Miss Linley, he had many rivals.
Among other admirers was Captain
Matthews, a gentleman well known
in the fashionable circles at Bath. A
paragraph inserted in a newspaper
was construed to imply a reflection
on the intimacy between Mr.. Sheri-
dan and Miss Linley. 1t was traced
through the printer to Mr.. Matthews
who, having set out for London. was
followed by Sheridan. They met,
and fought a duel with swords. in a
tavern, at the corner of Henrietta
street, Covent Garden.
Mr.. Sheridan's second. on the oc-
~casion. was his brother, Charles Fran
els. afterwards secretary for Ireland.
Great courage and skill we're dis
played on both sides; but Sheridan,
having succeeded in disarming his
adversary compelled him to sign a
formal retraction of the paragraph
which had been published. Mr..
Sheridan then fastened to Bath, and
as 1t vas reasonable that the apology
should be as public as the insult, he
caused the retraction to be inserted
in the same paper which had been
the vehicle of the calumny.
Mr.. Matthews had, soon after the
duel, retired to Wales; but, irritated
by his defeat, and wishing to have a
second trial, he made the insertion of
his acknowledgment a ground for a
second quarrel, and returned to Bath,
in order to demand satisfaction of
Mr.. Sheridan for the alleged injury.
A challenge was sent and accepted,
although Mr.. Sheridan would have
been justified, according to the most

The exciting days of prospecting in
Cripple Greek or Alaska may be over
but any n who is looking for ex-
p%erience and is willing to suffer a few
discomforts for the chance of gain

there.
M. LaCroix say that millions prob

not absolutely essential.

Walter Martin, a Piccadilly c,gar
dealer. has the distinction OF having
broken the bank OF Monte Carlo three
times In an hour recently and to have

money In his pockets, according To

Mr.. Martin admits that he was 'in

"a defensive system" Of his own.
Two "sittings" stood out in his
memory. One of them was when he
broke the bank as related above. The
other was when he lost 10000
francs. He played roulette.

CANADIAN LANDS TO SOLDIERS

The Canadian government announ-
ces that since the signing of the ar

soldiers over three million acres of
land, and that the total number of
soldiers, applying for free land was
58,S11, of whom Al, s00werequalifed

believes that the system of giving
free land to ~ex-service men not only
solves the problem of what to do for
the men, but will solve the agricul-
tural problems of Canada, enabling
it to increase its agricultural export
trade very materially, as well as re-

the objections of his friends, and the

was not to interfere. whatever might
be the consequences.
Having discharged their pistols
without effect, they betook them
selves to their swords. The first on
set was fierce. Sheridan attempted
to disarm his antagonist as before.
but was bafied and obliged to close.
In the struggle they both fell. and
through this fall both their swords
were broken. Matthews having now
greatly the advantage, by pressing on
him. asked Sheridan II he would beg
his life. He was answered that he
scorned the request, and the contest
was renewed.
They mangled each other for some
time with their broken swords, and,
Sheridan, having received some dan
gerous wounds. was left on the field
with few signs OF life, He was con-
veyed to Bath. while Matthews and
his second drove OF to London.
Mr.. Sheridan was confined for sew

Beattle of the University of Liverpool
is claimed to kill all bacteria without
the alteration of taste produced by
