The Wisconsin Industrial Association
met in Racine last Thursday afternoon and
elected officers and directors for the coming
year. Considerable feeling was developed
before the business of the meeting was ac-
complished. Jackson Case, representing
the "kid glove" element in the association,
had been working hard for DR.. w. T. Will
liams as Secretary of the Association. On
the other hand, Mr.. M, Nj. Secor, who had
been elected President, declared that he
would not work with Dr. Williams. 1t
seems that the latter gentleman had prom
ised his friends that he would resign and
remove the cause of dissension if they would
vindicate his candidacy by electing him.
This was done after considerable wrangling
and President Secor immedat ely resigned.
DIR. Williams then went back on hi, under
standing with his friends, and not only pro-
posed to retain the office, but moved that
President Secor's resignation be accepted.
This raised storm in the meeting and sew
eral insisted that DR.. Williams should re-
sign as he promised. Finally, under con-
siderable pressure the doctor arose and ten
dered his withdrawal President Secor
then returned to his Chair and the matter
of accepting his resignation was tabled
DIR. Williams out of the way, young Case
proposed A. B. Hayes as Secretary, Mr..
A. P. Dutton, Secretary Of the Association
in 1888, nominated J. Is. Jackson and made
a speech praising his work as Secretary last
year. Mr.. Jackson thanked Mr.. Dutton,
but declined the office The second ballot
however, showed Mr.. Jackson elected. Mr..
Jackson then resigned the Office, but his res
ignation was tabled, and finally, after ex-
plantations between Jackson Case and Mr..
j. B. Jackson, everything appeared to be
settled satisfactorily to all parties. The
following is list of the officers of the AS
ISOLATION for the coming year:
Presidential. M. Secor, Racine.
Vice Presidents-F. E. Hoyt, Rochester;
Charles Thompson, Yorkville; S. w. Eager,
Mt. Pleasant; A. B. Hayes, Yorkville; Ste

A Kenosha Sensation.

Kenosha county again comes to the front
with sensation. 1t is said that several
days ago an old lady died. She was sup.
posed to be very poor, having worked hard
all her life. The undertaken went to the
residence to prepare the body for burial.
While removing the clothing it was noticed
that the hustle was rather heavy in fact of
such weight to attract attention. 1t was
ripped open, and the spectators were thun-
derstruck to find secreted therein over $500
in bank notes.
1t appears that the old lady, instead of
spending her money and putting on style,
had boarded every cent and saved the
above amount, which she preferred to carry
round with her rather than trust to bank.

JUST LIKE 4 WOMAN.
A Street-Car incident in Which
Ambition O'erstepped Itself.

AmDIt1On OerSteppeu Itself.
Four bright-eyed little shop-girls
boarded Clark street grip-car yester-
day afternoon just as it started into the
tunnel, and sat all IN row near the
rear door, They all drew out their
purses together and each produced five
pennies with which to pay their fare.
The conductor, a phiegmatic Swede,
was at the front end OF the car collect
ing fares.
ION say, girls" exclaimed one de-
mure little miss, when she saw the
great wealth of copper about to be be-
bestowed on the unhappy conductor,
"lt's mean Of us to give him all these
pennies. 1t bOthers him awfully to get
rid of them, for the company wont take
pennies from him. My brother used to
be conductor and he told me about it. ~
alt is too bad" said another girl, go.
ing down again for bill Of exchange.
'l'll give him nickel"
$50 will l." remarked the third girl.
'tYou girls haven't a little bit of
nerve" exciaimed the last giri-a
frecklefaced maiden with a pug nose.
Give me the pennies and Ill see that
he gets them"
The pennies were turned over and
the conspiratOr awaited her victim.
On the seat opposite the girls sat a
thin-faced, black-eyed little woman VINO
nearly went into commissions of merri-
ment at the prospect of the conductors
discomfort. And when he came along
and the mischievous miss poured the
pennies into his hand the black-eyed
woman snickered out loud. Calming
herself for moment, she paid her fare,
handing the conductor a quarter He
took it. dumped the twenty pennies into
her lap and went ON about his business.
And the rest of the way through the
tunnel the deadly liquid fire in the
chances she shot at the four little shop
girls dlmmed the luster of the electric
lights in the roof Of the car.

Gov, 1reland's Great Discovery.

New York Tribune.
A Texas member of the house tells
the following story of ex-Gov. Ireland:
1t seems the former governor of the
Lone Star state knew more of bravery
than of books, and was better up in
politics than in poetry. According to
the Texan, Gov. Ireland sat one night
alone in his Office. Being in some
what pensive mood, he picked up a
school reader, glanced over it carelessIy,
and finally slapped, breathless, his eye
caught by some chance words. His
secretary entered as he finished read
ing, and, looking up at him, he ex-
claimed:
"D-n it, Jones. why do they stick
such fine thing as this away in a child's
reader. It's an outrage, shame, that
people suffer such gem to be buried
who was not Longfellow or Shaks-
peare. By -, FL write tonight to
some of those Eastern magazines and
inclOse it. Talk about genius. why, it
fairly blisters out in that poem. and yet
people are such brutes they can't see
it.''.
What's the name of it?'' asked the
secretary.
IL don't remember. but I mean to
write half of it down and quote from it
in my next speech. Here it is: It's
called 'Grey's' Elegy in a Country
Churchyard. The very name is poem.
But listen to one of the verses here.
Could anything be truer of its own
fate?" and the governor squared off and
read in his best voice:
"Full many gem Of purest ray serene
The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean
bear
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.
And waste its sweetness on the desert air"
''My -" man, that's prophecy
