SUNSET AFTER A woRkoAY

TIE skies are dark. the rain drops fast
The dreary ranks Of toll nlc past
The workroom's hum sounds tired and alov.
The hand moves listless 10 and fro;
Even our needles seem imbued
with rustily rebellous mood,
And dull revolt against our will.
Like teasin sprites, TO work US III,
Envy and discomfort steal in,
whispering TO us through the din
None but ourselves, say they, must climb
Rough paths, while others have free time
For all LIES Joys, Its beauties rare,
Its music soft, Its flowers fair,
Knowing no tasks for whose hard sake
Tired heads must throb and curved spines acne
We hail the whistles blatant scream
That wakes us from this bitter dream,
Break on tho thread and fold away
Our work, TO wait another day.
Plod homeward through the darkening street
with chilly hands and mud-soied feet.
The clouds seem frowning heaviest
when, lol they open In the west;
A faint pink touches smoke and mist
One splre, Its browning cross atwist
With golden rays, points upward to
A vapor edged, rare glimpse OF blue,
And through narrow, brick.framcd space
Smiles suddenly the suns dear face.
Life looks so nveable again;
Where are the long drawn hours OF rainf
Courage and confidence draw near,
Whispering TO us, calm and clear.
None but ourselves, say they, may know
The fullness Of this sunset glow,
For VIC alone who drudged oil day
Twixt streets OF mud and skies Of gray,
Can read tho symbol fair aright
"At eveningtimo II shall be light"
Back TO the heart comes, Heaven-sent,
That guest IL cannot spare--Content.

JUDGE WEBB.
Oshkosh Bar Would Support Him for
the Supreme Bench.

For some time past Judge Webb, of
Grand Rapids, has been mentioned as
possible if not probable successor to
Judge Lyons whose time expires next
spring. The aged chief justice is said
to have stated positively that he would
not again accept the cares of the office,
that owing to advancing years he felt it
imperative that he retire to private life
In view of these circumstances the name
of Judge Webb has been suggested. 4
well known Oshkosh attorney in speak
ing of the matter recently intimated
that he thought the Oshkosh bar ire
spective of party would support Judge
Webb. \ reporter for The North
western has since seen several of the
leading attorneys, all of whom appear
favorably disposed toward lending their
support to him. The attorneys enter
tain high opinion of Judge Webb as a
jurist and are warm in their praises of
him.-Oshkosh Northwestern.
The Waupaca county attorneys have
already expressed their preferences for
Judge Webb's promotion, and fully
endorse the above sentiments.-W

Democratic County Convention.

A correspondent to the Pittsville
Advertiser gives the following as the
ticket which he expects will be nomi-
mated at the democratic county
convention at Marshfeld on the 9th
day Of October:
The ticket will probably be made up
like this: Sheriff, Vincent, County
Clerk, Young-Hooper, Clerk of the
Court, Conway, Register of Deeds,
Oettinger, Treasurer, Beaver, District
Attorney, Goggins, Supt. of Schools,
McRaith. You will notice that | have
mentioned both Hooper and Young for
Clerk; as the hardest fight will be be-
tween these two it is difficult to guess
which will get the nomination. | am
quite certain from what | have seen
and heard that the balance of the
ticket will be as [ have said but there is
liable to be break in the candidates
for county Superintendent, but l
hardly think Lynch will be again given
the nomination.
The above will not be very far out of
the way judging from our standpoint.
We believe Young should be re-nomi-
mated if the other officers are.

NEW ENGINE.

The John Edwards Mfg. Co. have
been building three mile track of
railroad from Arpin, on the Port Ed
wards railroad, into their timber.
They now have the rail all laid and are
ready for traffic. Saturday they re-
ceived a new locomotive constructed
specially for logging purposes with
which they will haul logs to the main
line. This firm are making the neces-
sary arrangements so they can operate
their large saw mill summer and winter.
They will deliver logs enough to keep
the mill running constantly. Mr.
Alexander, who has charge of the
entire business, is a pusher and likes to
have everything handy to do business
in business-like manner. The engine
Is something new in this section and
constructed for doing very heavy haul
ing. 1t was manufactured by the
Dunkirk Engineering Co., of Dunkirk,
\. \. 1t was procured at cost of
about 5000. 1t arrived by freight
Saturday and was taken to its destina-
ton Monday ready for business.

THIRD REGIMENT BAND.

We take delight in watching the pro-
gress of the above band because several
of the young men in the twin cities are
prominent members of it. While in
Washington recently they were among
the best bands there if not the best.
They received many compliments
among them we take two from the
Washington Post dated Thursday Sept.
22d as follows:
ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE TO-DAY.
At the reunion of the Army of the
Tennessee to be held in the Great tent
this afternoon at 3:30, Frank P. Blair
Post, of st. Louis will, be present, and
the justly celebrated Third Regiment
Band, Of Wausau, Wis, F. G.. Dana
leader, will furnish the music. The
Indianapolis Glee Club will also sing
some of its favorite songs.
In speaking of the Blair Post and its
history the same paper says:
On the evening of the 18th instant
Secretary Noble, a former commander
of the post was seranaded. From
thence the post repaired to the resi-
dence Of Mrs. John A. Logan, when
she was presented a memorsal badge by
the post through Commander T. NJ.
Sterrett. On Sunday at 10 a. NJ, the
post boarded the steamer River Queen
for trip down the Potomac, past
Mount Vernon, and took dinner at
Marshall Hall, returning at p. m.
On Monday evening the post received
all friends who desired to call on them.
This occasion was enlivened by special
selections of music furnished by the
famous Sd Regiment Band of Wisconsin
National Guard, Of Wausau, Wis. This
is the fourth year this band has accom-
panied Blair Post. The relations be-
tween these two organizations are of a
remarkably pleasant character, probably
unprecedented. This band headed
Blair Post in the great parade on Tues
day, goth, and obtained from THE PosT
reporters, the sObriquet of the "Bumble
Bee Band,' on account of their black
uniforms and yellow gold braid. Their
music was uneXCelled, meeting with
manifestations Of delight from one end
Of the Avenue to the other.
Frank ?. Blair Post headed the
Missouri department down Pennsyl-
yania avenue in the great parade on
Tuesday. Other posts made a fine
appearance, but none excelled this one.
This post on all parades, wears only
the @. A. +. badge and Missouri ribbon.
No cOmrade is allowed III line except in
full uniform. This post does not drill
for national emcampments, but her
ev0lutions were almost as perfect as
when they learned how to be soldiers
twenty-five years ago. They were
cheered to the echo on every square on
the Avenue.

CRIME PUNISHED,

At special session of the Circuit
Court the past week Judge Webb
sentenced three prisoners who plead
guilty to the ofense with which they
were charged. Sheriff StahI took them
to Waupun on Wednesday September
2Sth.
Frank Miller, the person who was
arrested for highway robbery in Cen
tralia, in company with his companion
who got away from the officer, plead
guilty and was sentenced to two years
imprisonment at Waupun at hard labor.
The Judge gave him good bit of advice
that probably found lodgment where it
will do some good.
John Payne the young man arrested
for forging two checks of $500 each,
plead guilty to the charge against him
and was sentenced to one and one-half
years at Waupun.
Phillip Clark, is the man who was
charged with robbing a man on the
bridge while dead drunk of a silver
watch and about $500 in money. He
plead guilty to the charge and was given
one year in Waupnn for committing the
otfense.
We understand there are seven more
prisoners in the county Jail awaiting a
trial of their cases. Some people pre-
fer to commit crime than to earn an
honest dollar by hardwork Why is it
and who is responsible?

GERRY MANDER BUSTED.
The Boss and his Henchmen in gloom

The Wednesday. morning Milwaukee
Sentinel contained nothing of interest
to the Democrats. Among other things
said we quote the following:
Gladness and gloom were never seen
in more diametrical contrast than as
exhibited yesterday at the Wisconsin
headquarters of the Republican and
Democratic parties in Milwaukee.
Hope, joy, triumph and effervescent
enthusiasm were outlined upon the
faces Of every visitor at the former;
dependency, sorrow, defeat and lugu-
briOus detection marked the counte-
nances of the few who had courage to
make call at the latter Sunshine
flashed through the windows of Chair
man ThOm's offices in the Merrill
building in dazzeling streams, while
over on Jefferson street the curtains
were drawn, the gas lit and piece of
Grape 1uttered from the front door in
the September breeze. Across Grand
avenue the Harrison and Reid banner
splashed and spanked about like thing
of life. The Cleveland and Stevenson
streamer hung limp and lifeless as if the
very air was smltten with some terrible
sorrow. All these various disagree
ments of the elements and conditions
in town occurred soon after 10 O'Clock
in the morning simultaneously with the
receipt of a dispatch from the seat of
the state government. The telegraph
conveyed information that in the second
round of the fight between the People
and the Supreme Court on one side and
the Democratic boss-ridden Legislature
on the other; the D. L. had received a
knockout blow from the strong right
arm of the Supreme court and that Bot
tleholder Villas has SHE'D the sponge of
the gerrymanderer into the air.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
w. F. NJ. rIcRaitf1 Will Undoubtly be
Nominated on first ballot.

From the Pittsville Advertiser and
other reliable sources we understand
there is strong talk Of nominating
Francis McRaith of this city for county
Supt. of Schools on the democratic
ticket. 1t is universally talked and
conceded that there should be a
change in this office as Mr.. Lynch the
present incumbent has had it long
enough. We are pleased to learn that
a young man in our midst who was born
and brought up among us stands an
excellent chance of being nominated.
He is the second son of our old and
respected townsman, Mr.. NJ. J.
McRaith, who is known in this city and
county as an old time democrat.
Francis is a graduate of the Howe
High school and proved himself to be
one of the best speakers Of his class on
commencement day. Since his gradu-
alton he has taught school several years
in the towns of Rudolph, Sherry,
Seneca and Grand Rapids. He also
attended the Normal school at Oshkosh.
Wherever he is known as a teacher or
otherwise he has left the record of being
thoroughly honest efficient and upright.
He is temperate in his habits and a
hard worker in whatever he undertakes.
What education and ability he has, he has
gained by hard work. Heis altogether
a deserving young man whom we would
like to see get an opportunity to
further develope his latent talent His
energy and push is creditable to any
young man and with proper guidance
will accomplish much. We are strong
believer in giving the young men a
a chance, especially where they show a
strong disposition to help themselves
and are possessors Of those character
istics which make good honorable
business men.
If Francis McRaith is nominated at
the democratic county convention at
Marshtield on Thursday October the 9th
we can assure the people who are not
personally acquainted with him, that
he has all the necessary qualifications
for the making of a first-class superin-
tendent of schools.
