THE WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.

There are many questions bearing
upon the public welfare which de-
mand and should receive the early at
tention of Congress. One of the fore
most of these is that of re-apportion-
ment, which should be disposed of
before the adjournment of the several
State legislatures that convene during
the winter, and thus the necessity for
extra legislative sessions for the pur-
pose of redistricting States, obviated.
While it is probable that the Congress
sional representation from Wisconsin
will remain at eight as it now is, dis
trict lines will require changing and
an early settlement of the reapportion-
ment question by Congress will save an
extra session of the legislature. The
interests of pensioners imperatlvely
demand a modification of the pension
laws and an increased appropriation
for the use of the Commissioner of
Pensions in the discharge of his official
duties. The high protective tariff peo-
pie are becoming alarmed at the rapid
decrease in the national debt and de-
mand the abolition of the entire inter-
nal revenue system, that tariff duties
may remain undisturbed. On the 9TH
er hand, free traders would prefer a
retention of. the internal revenue sys-
tenn and that tariff duties be done
away with. Upon this question we
find two extremes, the success of mel
Their of which would we consider de-
sirable. While there is doubtless am
pie room for improvement in both the
tariff and internal revenue systems we
apprehend that the surplus revenue of
the government, however great it may
be, can be probably employed for
many years to come.
The question of renewing national
bank charters must soon be met and
disposed of, and there is scarcely any
room for doubt that such charters will
be renewed or extended. One OF the
most knotty problems that viii come
up for Congressional action is that re-
lating to the baneful practice of polyg-
amy, and as this is one which the av
erage Congressman breads to tackle, it
is too much to hope for its solution du-
ring the present session. The ques-
ton of interstate commerce will prob
ably be brought up, but as transporta-
ton companies seem to possess pecul-
lar faculties for controlling the actions
of Congress as well as State legisla-
lures when any matter affecting their
own interests are presented. nothing
of substantial benefit to the people
need be expected.

ELLSWORTH EVENTS

ELLSWORTH EVENTS
Mrs. Daniel Thurston, who came
from Kansas to her daughters in
Dunn county, for her health, died
soon after her arrival, of heart dis
ease.
Next Friday evening the young folks
under the lead of Miss Ella Bradley,
will give an entertainment. The pro-
ceds are to used in the purchase of an
organ for the school.
Wolf and fox scalps are cash arti-
Gle at the county clerks and the trade
quite brisk. But the saying is: There
is trick in all trades-and the trick
in that trade is to pass off fox scalp
for that of a wolf and thus get 81
bounty instead of 50. But Jensen is
now an expert and can tell the
shape, size, position and exact shade
of color of every hair on the scalp of
a wolf or a fox.
The installation of the officers in
the Odd Fellows Lodge took place on
Monday night, the I'd inst, several
Odd Fellows from River Falls taking

Thurston, N. g.; Mark NJ. Sanderson,
V. g.; G. B. Wood, r. S.; D. w. Kin
ne, P. S.; f. Teubert, I. After the
installation there was ball, in which
103 couple took part.
The next day after Christmas a lit
tie fellow, six years old, came into
town ON some errands for his mother,
and to buy himself and ''Josh' ten
cents worth of candy and peanuts, to
have a Christmas with. His clothes
were mere rags and the wind made
him shiver as it whistled through
them. The old ways of the child and
his odd business like manner attract
ed the notice of some of the generous
men of our town, and a few dubbed
together to rig him out. His rags
were removed, himself washed and
hair cut and combed and then a new
suit, even to comforter and mittens,
purchased and put upon him, and a
prouder or happier boy II would have
been hard to find in Pierce county.

the others of the district. The work
of the society includes singing, select
reading, destinations, and compost
tons, which fact makes it more pro-
fitable and interesting.

A sad accident occurred last Sunday
on the lake at the mouth of the lsa-

place. Two boys, Fritz Matthews and
Andrew Anderson, aged about eight
cen, had been skating for some time,
when on observing at distance what
they supposed to be glare of ice
started for it at the same time; unfor-
tunately it proved to be an air-ho,e
with but thin scale of ice as cover
ing. One followed the other into the
treacherous place. For nearly a half
hour they grappled with the watery
elements with none to assist, except
two small boys who stood paralyzed at
the fate of the unfortunate victims
At last. tired and exhausted, their
cries for help becoming more and more
feeble. they sank into watery grave.
At three O'Clock in the afternoon the
bodies were recovered. This is the
second of Mr.. Matthews children that
have been drowned in the lake. and
both were drowned in the same place.
This is sad warning for boys to keep
off the ice when it is known to be un-
safe.
