A SURPRISE.
SnNfERs. Dec. 26. 1881

SoN1ERs, Dec. 26, 1884.
A very delightful reunion of friends
and neighbors occurred at the residence
of Mr.. A. T. Gould. Mr.. md Mrs. Gould
are always active in every good work in
behalf of others, and this entire affair
was arranged as a testimonial ofap pre-
citation and regard. Before evening, be-
tween fifty and sixty people, laden with
the most generous stores, of choicest
eatables, had arrived, and just as the
supper was about to be served, one of the
company, iii few words, full of kindly
feeling, presented the more than surpris-
ed host and hostess with complete and
beautiful set of china. A gift ola hand
some hanging lamp had preceded this.
After all had partaken of the tempting
lunch, the company was entertained by
fun-provoking effort by some gentle
men ofRacine. Vocal and instrumental
music followed, and after the singing OF
old-time Christmas carols the "Good-
Nights were said, and all went home
with pleasant thoughts of a very happy
time.

OUR STATE AFFAIRS.

After an interval of two years, the
state legislature will meet on the second
Wednesday of January next. The
session will be one of unusual import
ance, and will probably be longer than
those held under the system of annual
meetings. Among the subjects upon
which it will have to act are the election
of a United States senator, the question
Of high license, the proposed establish.
ment of a separate agricultural college
and many other matters affecting the
general welfare of the people, as we'll as
those more especially connected with
local interests.
Every tax payer and every intelligent
citizen of the state will desire to have g
clear, accurate and connected report O.
the proceedings of this important session
and such report more complete thar
elsewhere given will be found in the
Milwaukee Daily Sentinel. The WeekE
Sentinel will also contain a complete
synopsis of the proceedings, with care
full analysis of all proposed Legislation
affecting the general interests of tn,
people, giving its readers the data for al
accurate and comprehensive knowledge
of the proceedings and their results.
During the same period congress vii
be in session, and change in the ma
tional administration will occur, render
ing the news from Washington of ex
ceptional interest. Full reports from
the national capital, besides the genera
news of the day, foreign and domestic, i
addition to large amount of choice mi;
celIaneous reading, will appear in tn
Sentinel. The terms for the Ddily an
Weekly are as follows

hoped, people in general will make with
out waiting to be asked. The hours when
the room will be open viii probably be
announced next Sunday morning by Mr..

The announcement was also made that
Mr. Grosch, of Grosch & Eichelman, had
offered to give certain amount of tailor
work in recruiting of heavy garments,
and also the offer of medical services
from a physician. The following COM
mittees were appointed, which will
report on Friday night this week: on
soliciting provisions-Mrs. 0. NJ. Petit,
Miss Cornelia Hawley clothing-Misses
Louie Robinson, Anna Hawley, Laura
Hawley, Minnie Simmons on visiting
the poor-Mrs. Lewis Balm, Mrs. L. w.
Miller, Misses Belle Simmons, Nellie
Balm and Ria Lance. These COM
mittees, however, were intended only as
a nucleus in each line, and are en-
powered to request any who will do so
to act with them. They have districted
the town among themselves, and will,
as the work grows, and as rapidly as
their numbers permit, make thorough
visitation in their respective lines of
work. 1t may be well to repeat here
what was stated last week, that neither
the rector nor the good people of st.
Matthew's church have any desire to
this work, and it is hoped |
that the citizens generally will give their
help and unite with them. All who are
willing to assist are invited to attend the
meeting this week and offer their SER
vices.

LIQUOR SALOONS AND WORKING
MEN

Liz OOh DALOONO AND " Ohh1NU
MEN.
In connection with the stoppage of
the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, at
Braddock, Pa, it is said "There are
eighty to 100 saloons in Braddock and
suburbs. All of these have large out
standing bills among the steelworkers.
If the mill should remain shut down
as long as two months, at least fifty
saloons will go under" It is estimated
that the 1000 men employed in the
closed works have spent quarter Of a
million dollars year in these saloons,
Or $2,5O0,OO0 during the ten years that
the works have been in operation. This
amount of money, if they now had it,
with the interest upon tiff they had
put it in savings banks to accumulate
would have been sufficient to keep these
men and their families in comfort till a
revival of industry and business. 1t is
not to be expected that men can be al
together prevented from drinking ardent
spirits. A little, not too much for good
health and comfort, may be drunk al
slight cost. But it is the saloon drink
ing, the tipping and getting too much
which costs money which ought to be
saved for better uses The low saloons
under the caves Of the great manufac
tories rob employees of more money thar
hard masters, reduced wages, the zorro
sions of idleness, the cost of sickness
and all other causes. Chicago Journal.

OBTTTARY.

Another of our more prominent bust
ness men has gone to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns. In this in
stance fate pointed to the person of Mr.
Hans Hansen, of this city, who fol
several years has been well and favor
ably known throughout this community
Mr. Hansen had been i'll with typhoid
fever, complicated with an affection OF
the liver and gall, for a period of about
two weeks, which reduced him very
rapidly, and on Thursday morning, the
10Th of December. pleurisy of the
heart set in and he was compelled to
submit to the inevitable fate which
awaits us all, and passed to the world be-
yond. Mr.. Hansen, at the time of his
death, was forty-two years of age. For
the last sixteen years he had been asso-
clated with Mr.. Joseph Bendt in bust
ness In this city. By his honesty of
purpose and strict application to bust,
ness Mr.. Hansen had won most envia-
Die reputation, and there are few men in
this vicinity more highly esteemed than
was he. 1t is especially said of Mr..
Hansen that he was kind to the poor.
and never failed to give the laboring
man supplies on credit when work fail
ed and money was impossible. Mr..
Hansen married daughter of Mr..
Bendt and sister of the wife of Mr..
IFhlilp Harmon, of this city, whom he
leaves a widow with five children. His
parents are both living in this city. He
has two hrothers, Mr.. Tony P. Hansen
and Mr.. Thomas Hansen, the furniture
dealer, and a sister, Miss Caroline Han
sen, Who reside in Kenosha also sis
Ter, Mrs. Anderson, living in Nebraska,
and brother, Rev. A. S. Hansen, living
N omaha, III. G. Hansen, a brother who
resides in Racine, and Tonnes Hansen,
Who resides in Copenhagen, and is gener-
u superintendent of steamboat line
rom that port. The latter is now very
Ill at his home in Copenhagen. One
was drowned in 1874 at the time
d the tlshermen's disaster in Kenosha
larbor.
The funeral services which took place
IN Sunday at the German Lutheran
church In this city were very largely at
ended. The church was filled to over
lowing, and the walks along the street
we're filled with friends who had come
0 pay their last tribute to the dead.
The funeral procession was very long
md Indicative of the respect in which
Mr.. Hansen was held by our citizens.
The Society of Odd Fellows and the
Norkingmen's Society each attended
he funeral in a body. There were in
he procession one hundred carriages
nj sleighs, besides the several societies
md other citizens who followed on foot.
indeed the friends of Mr.. Hansen may
eel assured that he left behind many
warm and devoted hearts that Beat in
for them, while they most
lncerely and truly mourn his loss. 1t
said Mr. Hansen left insurance policies
nd other property sufficient for the
Import and education of his family.
