dict that the same traits Of ch aracter
By which he is distinguished at home
will make him a useful and influential
member of congress.
As a public benefactor, he is endear-
ed to every citizen of his city and
county. Lavish of his own means
for the public good, he has devoted
his whole energies to increase the
prosperity of his locality. He con-
ceived, organized pushed to completion
and put in operation the Chippewa
Falls and Western Railway, of which
he is president, without a dollar of
foreign aid. He is also president of
the Chippewa Falls and Northern and
Eastern Railway Company, recently
organized.
In summing up the character of
Governor Pound we may say that he
has a cool, cautious and sagacious
mind, is genial in disposition, possess
ing the magnetic presence warrant
ing the prediction that his public
career will continue to be command
ing and successful.
This light sketch conveys but an
imperfect idea of the "Thad. Pound
as he is Familiarity addressed
known to those who come in daily con-
tact with him, and experience his
warm friendship, noble impulses, great
kindness of heart, exceeding charity,
and witness that honesty Of purpose
that never wavers, no matter what the
consideration.

Mrs. Van Colt is holding regular
meetings each day and evening of
this week. We attended her meeting
on Sunday afternoon and were very
much pleased with her discourse
though of personal nature. being
recital Of her own life and conversion
to Christ and his cause There were
few in the room who could keep dry
eyes as she told her history touching
the more sympathetic cords Of nature,
leaving 4 good impression on her au-
dience.
In the evening the NJ E, Church
was filled to overlooking, many being
obliged to stand outside. She took
for her text the words Nothing bus
leaves" and had a small bunch of
withered leaves with her which she
placed on the pulpit. Our citizens
were treated to a grand discourse. We
have not the time or space to give
synopsis of her sermon but we speak
the mind of her immense congrega-
ton when we say she did excellent
was logical, eloquent, and earnest in
what she believed to be tho truth.
Her short strain on the liquor question
will always be remembered. We
heartily accord her honest and earnest
motives in all her efforts and wish her
abundant success.

"Fools rush in where Angels fear to

the pen of the wise gentleman who
edits the Wednesday Tribune of this
city, we pity such foolhardiness
The last Reporter asks US "who
are the people, anyway" The peo-
pie are the wealth of the nation; the
manufacturers, the farmers and the
laborers; such as were the majority of
the delegates to the convention that
placed in nomination Hon. ". g.
Silverthorn. These are the people
that will put forth an effort TO elect
their candidate, Mr.. S;lverthorn. The
Wheelers, Gintys, McDills, Raymonds,
Fifelds, Noyeses, McCords, Adams,
Kelloggs, Webbs, Writers, and a score
of other political wire pullers and
official pap suckers are the class that
are seeking the election of Thad.
Pound. The people care nothing for
his election, as it will not benefit them
in any way.
Why, Mr.. Tribune, did you stop
with so few Of the best and most hon
est men of the district. Why did
you not add, the Scots, Jacksons,
Schofelds, Kichbush, and hundred
or more we might mention, all are
honest, upright, hard working men.
