MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16.-The leading Incl
dent the of coming week will be the twenty
fifth annual convention of the Wisconsin
Editorial association, which will assemble
on Tuesday and continue its deliberations
throughout three days. John Symes, the
Milwaukee job printer, will deliver the an
nual address, and Mrs. Helen Holmes Charl-
ton, of Brodhead, will read an original poem.
Gen. Geo. c. Ginty will eulogize the late
Major L. H. Drury, and Gen. David Atwood
will offer tribute to the memory of the late
James Ross. Discussions will follow on vi
tai subjects to country printers, such as:
''Cash in Advance for Subscription: Is the
Rule good one to follower sob Print
ing: How to do it and what to Charge for
it." ''The Value of Specialtles in Country
Journalism Chow to Deal with Foreign
Advertisers" &C How to Print Country
Newspaper" "Should Country Newspaper
Seek to be more than a Local Journal"
''Whv should an Editor not Hold an Office if
he can getit." This is quite a solid pro-
gramme, and in view of the fact that no ex
cursion or banquet has been planned, it may
be taken as evidence that the association is
getting down to business and is forcing the
frivolities into second place where they belong
For some years past the annual meetings OF
the Wisconsin editors have been

crings. There seemed to be no financial
system back of the associations schemes,
everything ordered being a risk upon the
shoulders of the officers, from whose puzzled
brains also all plans for the entertainment
of the members were supposed to spring
without effort The excursion to Fargo and
Grand Forks, Dakota, two years ago. during
Leut.-Gov. Sam. FiGeld's administration as
president of the association, seems to have
brought raeson to the front. The editors
had grand time, but Sam. and E. D. Coe,
Whitewater Register, then secretary, were
compelled to work like naiers and take big
risks. Fifeld pushes everything he under
takes, and does not relax his efforts until
success rewards him. Coe, of Whitewater,
is another interchangeable worker, and shared
with Ashland's Sam the honors Of the big
Dakota success. Both were rewarded by the
''boYs'' with handsome gifts as a recognition
of their efforts. But the magnitude of the
undertaking unmasked the thinness Of the
backing to heavy schemes, and reform was
deemed necessary. Last year the annual
convention was held at Geneva Lake, where
more quiet but none the less enjoyable
time was had. This served to taper expecta-
tons down to more modest realizations, and
the meeting next week will show more in
terest in the real objects Of the association
than in elbow out.' The labors of Fifeld
and Coe, the latter now president, have
leayened the whole lump, and a rise in the
the character of the organization may be
looked for. More thorough organization
and better system of government will be
among the efforts of next week.
CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
On the Doth of last month the daily papers
of this city stated that a mysterious arrest
had been made at the Plankintou House.
The detectives covered their work so
smoothly, however, that nothing further
than the announcement noted was made.
A few days ago the firm of Louis Cohn 81
Son, Chicago, was forced to the wall and in
the crash the secret escaped. Morris L.
Cohn, the junior member of the firm, was
the man arrested here, and he has been held
for trial in the criminal court, in &c. 900
bonds, on charge of forgery and counter
feting promisory notes. Cohn's arrest
caused quite a sensation in Hebrew circles.
marriage at Manistee on Wednesday, Octo-
Der IS, 1882, to Miss Lena Englemann,
daughter Of Michael Englemann, formerly of
this city. The wedding, which was an ex-
ceedngly brilliant one, was attended by
about $50 guests from this city and Chicago
Bach's band was engaged, and Couroy,
Milwaulee's 'crack' caterer furnished the
eatables. After the wedding Mr.. Engemann
gave Cohn and his wife fully $4,000.
About year ago Mr.. Englemann abandoned
his son-in-law on account of his
questionable practices. Mrs. COIN
returned TO her fathers home in Manistee
Inst month, and it is understood she will re-
main there. A divorce will probably ensue.
Much sympathy is expressed here for the
young wife, who was quite popular and had
large circle of friends. She is graduate
of the Milwaukee Female college,
THE ENGLEMANN's.
The Englemann family, which is brought
into fresh prominence by the unfortunate
scandal mentioned above, is deserving of
special mention for its remarkable CONNER
Cial experiences. Shortly after the war Ma
than Euglemau, (now deceased) brother of
Michael Euglemann, worked his way up
from a lumber clerkship and became the
owner of a saw mill. Through the purchase
of the old propeller j. Barber he became
identified with Steamboating, and gradually
Increased his holdings until they compre-
hended the Grand Haven and Milwaukee and
Manistce lines of steamers. Nathan Eugle-
mann then sickened with consumption and
died at Aiken, South Carolina, whittier he
had gone for the purpose of improving his
health The management of the steamboat
lines devolved upon Michael Englemann,
who had latterly been a partner. From va
rious causes things turned against him, and
after'dragging along, all the while shipping
his wealth, the crash OF 1873 completely
foundered him. lie then left Milwaukee
and took up his residence at Manistee, where
he again paid attention to numbering de
'loaded up, so to speak, with timber land
and lumber property, and when the revival
came he was lifted away out of the mire. He
is now very wealthy, and is one of the great
moguls of Manistee and Northern Michi-
gan.
