REPUBLICANS WAKE UP.

B. J. Price, of the Hudson Star
and Times, heads his views "Wake
Up" and voices the editorial
under the heading as follows. He
strikes from the shoulder:
"The Republican party in Wis
consin wants to get a move on
itself, as the boys say, and that
right speedily. There is work to
be done all over the state to reor-
ganize the routed forces from the
late Bull Run campaign and get
them in good fighting trim for the
engagement of 1892. The enemy
is vigilent and worthy of our
steel. They have not given us
any quarter, and it is folly to ex-
pect them to do so now, we'll en-
trenched as they are behind the
Dreastworks. We must dislodge
them by superior skill and the
might of Republican merit if they
are driven out of power, and vic
tory again perches upon Republi-
can banners. To prepare the way
for such an intrepid campaign as
this will be, the rank and file of
the party must be enthused and
revlvified. Republican principles
must be restored and be more
clearly defined, SO that there need
be no more uncertain sound in the
rallying cry. 1t is all important
that our leaders come to the front
and insure confidence. The mass
es of the party are as Jealous, as
hopeful and as loyal to Republi-
can principles as ever; but there
has been no touch of elbows since
the late unpleasantness; conse-
gently all is chaos, with a general
waiting for the 'shibboleth.' Who
is to organize the Republican
forces in Wisconsin for the trium-
plant march of 1902? Are the
old generals equal to the emer-
gency? If SO, we'll. If not, there
are in the rank and file of the
party Napoleon's equal to the
new demands. General Scott was
magnificent leader at Lundy's
Lane and Chapultepec, while
Ulysses S. Grant was an obscure
lieutenant, but the old hero
seemed unequal to the ordeals of
the new struggle of OLA, and the
tactlturn lieutenant became the
browning genius to spur the
armies on to victory. If the old
leaders are obsolete, new ones
must rise to take their places, for
move forward the Republican
party will. A party that cannot
triumph over one defeat is not
worth living. Ours can, and will
trinmDh in 1902"

We will vote for its candidates for

Colonel Polk will never lead a

in giving the dirty details of scan
dals and murders and murders
that have grown out of scandals.
The attention paid to the Zoldoski
murder trial now in progress at
Lancaster is burning shame and
lasting disgrace; but it cannot be
denied that there is a large ele-
ment in the average community
which would rather read the nasty,

reading the best portions of the
choicest publications the world
has ever seen; and that, too, is a

We do things differently in this

of all the mischievous follies and
absurdities which find the elements
of a luxuriant but ephemeral
growth in the restlessness and dis
content of the ignorant"
1t is worthy of note that Mr..
Cleveland has ceased writing let

whether his friends have persuad-

Kidnapped HIS WIFE.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Nov. lS.-A sensational
affair occurred here this morning, which
contains the elements Of a lawsuit, posi-
blv involves a horsewhip. at any rate con-
ferring Upon a Young dentist the distinc-
ton OF being the first husband in this
section to ubduct his own wife. DR.. w.
@. Archer some four months ago married
a daughter of Mrs. John Major Of this
city, who enjoyed the reputation of beng
unusually pretty and bright. Immediately
after the wedding the Young couple
located in the central portion of the state
but his efforts to secure adequate means
to support his charming bride were not
crowned with success. Lately the couple
arrived here on a visit to Mrs. Major on
Twelfth street. 1t seems that the doctor
did not desire to prolong his visit from
some cause and planned to go away at 5
this morning. This did not meet Mrs.
Archer,s approval and she decided to
stay. He said she must go, and securing
a hack he had it driven to the
door, and going in he found his
wife clad only in a loose wrapper. Taking
her in his arms, despite her struggles and
screams, he carried her into the hack and
ordered the driver to go to the depot.
The brides mother followed on foot.
Reaching the depot. the bride refused to
go in the car, and again the doctor took
her in his arms. and. carrying her by
main force. seated her in the coach. She
cried to be released and permitted to go
home with her mother. She said she was
cold, as the light wrapper was not pro-
lection enough, but he was obdurate, and
IN spite OF her tears he held her fast IN
til the train pulled out with the badly
matched couple aboard. A reporter of
the Globe Democrat called upon Mrs.
Major this afternoon and found her suf
fering from the effects of the separation,
as we'll as from the effects of blows she
says the doctor administered to her while
she was attempting to rescue her daughter.
She confirmed the above but added other
his baggage and his wiie's placed on
the sidewalk before daylight, telling
them tina. she could stay here
while he went to Duquoin; that
when he came with the hack he asked her
to kiss him good by. and as she did so he
seized her and started to the hack. The
mother tried to aid the daughter and was
struck by him, and another man who was
with him showed her back into the house.
As the doctor got his un willing bride into
the carriage. he covered her face with a
handkerchief, supposed to be saturated
with %chloroform. and, half clad as she
was, took her aboard the Big Eon-eR,la

CHICAGO, Nov. lS.-Sixteen heirs of
Charles Durkee, at one time the governor
Of Utah, began suit in the federal circuit
court today to recover $500, 900 Of
Durkee's estate, which, it is charged. they
did not receive because OF the fraudulent
acts OF Franklin Head of this city and
Harvey Durkee, a half brother of the
deceased. These two men were the exc.
cutors of the estate aud it is alleged that
through their m%anipulations the rightiu
heirs were cheated.
Mr.. Head is charged to have so man
aged the estate as to get most of it il
possession of himself and Harvey Durkee.
The latter is now dead. The bill, which
IS a lengthy one, makes the senqationa
charges that the complainants are George
Durkee of Deforest, Wis Charles j.
Boardman Of WATERFOWL, S, D, and
fourteen Others who are scattered all ovel
