DANGER,

WHILE campaign enthusiasm is
towering high in the sO-ealled
doubtful states, Il has been very
small in quantity IN Kansas thus
far. There IL q WOeful lack Of band
music, tOrch-light professions,
speeeh-niakiBg, firing Of anvils and
fireworks. General Apathy seems
% have taken command Of both
great political organizations. This
state of things can be traced more
essentially TO the sure Republican
majority in Kansas and the hopeless
Democratic minority. But Il will
not do for r. Pablicans 10 rest in Sc
eurity over their great major
ties of the past. We have a new
element this year to confront, which
has grown to alarmieg propOrtiOns-
- large in fact az TO make certain
counties usually Republican very
doubtful a. far a. the local tickets
are concerned. In Presidential years
commonly, the enthusiasm which
sweeps the state for the National
and State Republican tickets car
ries the local tickets through safely,
even 10 they are not particularly
strong Ga their composition. II the
apathy which prevails now cOntln-
uea until the end, the-lOcal tickets
will lack the substantial support Of
the Presidential year, and go down
in defeat. And this defeat may
mean the election OF enough Sena-
tors and Representative Of the OPP
position elements, which doubling
their teams, will bring about the de-
feat of Senator Plumb's reelection.
We wonder n the State Central
Committee are thinking about these
things, and II thinking, they are
also acting. To be sure we have
seen lists Of speakers announced,
but there are no announcements Of
great meetings like those in 1884
which made the state wild with en-
thusiasm, and reclaimed 1t from
Glickism. There is surely danger
In many portions OF the state Of
Republican defeat, IL the apathy
now prevailing, continues.

The State Printers election Oc-
curs this winter. AS Cliff Baker
has held the Office only one
term, Il is probable that he viii be
reelected. But he must not count
on q third term. The third-termers
met q Waterloo two years ago, and
@ is not likely that the precedent
then established will be reversed.
n q third term was to be given,
probably Cliff would stand as good
chance a. anybody else, but the
iErevOcable fat against a third
term has gone forth, and let them
all and singular stand from under.
If reports be true. the State Printer
In four years time can make for
tame, and it IL needless waste Of
savOrs 70 make that fortune colossal.
Lst the Office be passed around,
and give the balance Of the boys q

Arnichist No. 1.

Gill Goodman, in whose behalf Sc
much was done by some of the promi-
neDt business men in CentraIia, may
now see the result of their kindness.
Tuesday, he in company with another
boy were caught in the act Of stealing
two pair CT shoes from the front OF
George Corriveau's drv goods store.
This act goes to show that kind deeds
done in the interests Of such boys, is
never appreciated, but simply taken
advantage Of for the performance OF
greater crimes.
Prof. EavenOr and Justice Cooper
were almost condemned by a great many
people in that city, for doing their duty,
ana acting REALLY for the best interest OF
the boys. Nov its plainly to be seen
that they were right, and those who
circulated petitions and &c, were in
the wrong. The best place for such
boys is at Waukesha where they know
how to handle vicious and urruly young
men.
We feel assured that Bro. Rossier, OF
the enterprise, may now see that his
position il the premises was the wrong
one, ana Prof. HRvenor, Cooper and
others, were in the right. We wish the
boy 10 harm, but firmly believe a short
term at Naukesha, would result for the
boys own good.

was averted by the speedy assistance of
a host of men, ani the Stevens Point
pump. Monday noon tlies 4. NJ. Cor

through the kitchen stove pipe and was
rapidly spreading when discovered
The alarm was given and 3 large crowd
soon gathered. Every man was q
willing worker and they accom- 2lished
much. If this fire had gained hesdway
the probabilities are that Spadord &
Coles store, NJ. J. McRaith's tailor shop,
HundngtoR's millinery shop, and pro
baby other buildings woulG have been
consumed. Everybody WAS glad this
calamity was ayerted The stock of

ing was insured for $500 and the stock
for 200.

Toboggan Slide.

Saturday night Mr. Alex Bezaillon
opened his tobo 1an slide to the public
for the first time. II was quite dis
agreeable night, yet large number Of
the boys and young men we're there to
enjoy the fun. Everything was free
and no time was lost. We could not
prick up courage enough to try slide
that night, but did on Mondsy morning.
Dolph BezaiIlon, who has charge Of the
slide loaded us on the largest toboggan
on hand, fixed himself behind Us and
shouted go ahead steamboat and we
slid. How fast 70 one c1n tell, Tor we
held our breath until al danger was
past. Dolph suggested another slide,
but before taking it we renewed ali our
insurance policies and added $1,000
more and now stand ready for another
slide. Fun, no name for fun, but it has
every sensation except that Of death.

Clouds

The American Comedy entitled
Clouds" was presented in the Opera
House Friday evening, by the Young
Peoples Dramatic Club, of St. Stephens
Catholic Church, Stevens Point, to a
fair audience Had a more lengthy
notice been given the house would have
been crowded. However The play was
ably presented TO the delight and
pleasure of the audience. The young
people acquitted themselves far better
then the average Snowman passing
through this city. We can give no par
ticular one special praise, but ali, even
unto the minor parts We're well handled.
The character Of the play was elevat-
ing and just such a one as the people
here like TO patronize. None of your

people Of Stevens Point desire to pre-
sent such plays to our people they have

called to attend the funeral OF Mrs
Margaret wife of Mr.. James Meddaugh
residing miles north Of City Point.
Mrs. Meddaugh on Tuesday morning is
supposed to have started to go up stairs
to get something to prepare for dinner
and when near the head of the stairs,
either to have become dizzy or had a
stroke of paralysis and to have fallen
backward down the stairs where she
was shortly found, but did not show any
signs of consciousness except that OF
breathing. 4 messenger was dispatch
ed to Neillsville to secure medical aid
but no physician could be procured as
some were sick and others away from

neighbors could do was done, but she
did not move or speak and died next

over 200 pounds and afflicted with
dropsy. She. leaves a husband and
elevan children, 9 sons and daughters,

"Eenos1a" SiEtfngz.

Snow and cold weather seems to be
all the rage nowadays.

The boys in this yacinity have dreams
of Merrill ever since.
Nora aud Anna Mathews were home
from their schools for a short time.
The snow was quite deep a going
through the woods that day, but Tom
says he don't care a fly"
LastSundaY afternoon a young man
set out to see his chest" girl with a
heart as light as feather, until he had
gone about two miles or there about
when his horse being rather young
came TO the conclusion that he had gone
far enough, therby stopping and utterly
refusing to move. The young man step
ped out of his cutter, went ahead of the
horse a few yards at the same time
showing the obstinate animal few ears
Of corn (Which he CARRIED in a pocket
of his over-coat) but he (the horse) re-
fused this tempting offer. The young
man then tried to drag him by Juggling
away at the bride, but found him to be
as immovable as a tree! He then re-
membered hearing that stones dropped
gently into the ears Of a stubborn horse
would cause him to move, but when the
snow is p feet on level, and the Their

to him and he wound his arms around
the horses neck and pressing him with
frantic vehemence to his throbbing
bosom exclaimed $40 be good horse
and lets travel along ALITTLE farther,
for it is not possible for such love as
mine TO rise above its present devoted
nessw After that very remarkable and
intelligent ezordium, he moved slowly
towards the cutter and sharply uttered
the word Go! The horse sprang for
ward with lightning rapidity and the
young man was obliged to hang on the
back of the cutter for the rest of his
journey. Next time young man carry
