A Missouri columnist analyzes the era of purported prosperity, arguing that benefits favor the rich and protected industries while farmers and the middle class face rising costs and stagnant wages.

A garbled OCR style note discusses a Democratic badge and emblem associated with political symbolism. It mentions the National committee, expected distribution, and references to a figure named Jehane Birgusr in unclear terms. The text appears as a fragmented satire or mock political item from an old newspaper page.
Chippewa Falls reports the capture of a wild man described as aged with long hair and beard, seen roaming northern Wisconsin forests. Constable Burnett led a fifty man posse to a forest site fifty miles away, where the man was found in a tree fork, fought capture, and was finally restrained with ropes. The man cannot explain his origin though clues suggest Canada or a survivor from Hinckley 1894 fire. No weapon was found on him and captivity ends his months of eluding authorities.

He notes Prussian leaders like the Pedestal Council and recalls how he urged a facts only approach, arguing eloquence often misleads and true progress comes from concrete statements and policy rather than grand speeches.

General Joubert, American born in Uniontown Pennsylvania in 1841, rose as Boer commander in South Africa and led Dutch farmers against the British at Majiba Hill in 1881.
