part towards making the evenings
entertainment enjoyable. The Wausau
ladies never appeared to better advan
tage and convinced the guests that
more attractive and handsome ladies
could not be found i'll any city.
The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted before closing the
session:
Resolved, That this association, in
holding its sixth winter session, has
been the recipient of many valuable
and helpful flvors, and desires to
express its heartfelt appreciation,
therefore
Without being able to mention all to
whom we feel indebted, we hope that it
will not be deemed that invidious
distinction has been made in viewing
the energy and excellent planning of
President Heg and Secretary Coon in
arranging the details of this session; the
courtesy of the railroad companies in
readily making advertising contracts to
meet the expense of transportation,
the generous thoughtfulness of General
Manager WhitcOmb in rendering a
special train to return the editorial
party to Milwaukee, the admirably
complete arrangements furnished for
our meeting and entertainment at
Wausau by the press, the officials and
the citizens Of the place, the very
acceptable services of the superb Third
Regiment band and orchestra, and the
most valuable and entertaining address
es of DR.. Macarthur and the Hon.
Horace Rublee. One and all have
aided in making the week notable
accession in the annals of our associ-
alton; and in taking our departure
from Wausau we feel that the session
has been one of genuine profit to every
member, and not least satisfactory of
all the knowledge gained has been the
revelation to us of the beauty, thrift
and prosperity of this richly endowed
gem city of the north.

WAUSAU ENTERTA AIMS.
Tie Wisconsin Press association iii
q Royal Manner-OHcers elected
and Resolutions bassed-A de-
hgh1uL time.

About forty miles north of this city
located on the east and west banks of
the Wisconsin river is thriving and
prosperous city of 1000 inhabitants
popularly known by the name of
Wausau. This metropolitan city was
chosen by the officers of the Wis. Press
Association as the place for the holding
of their annual business meeting. This
selection was a wise one, as the expert
ence of the past week has well
eNemplified. The people of Wausau
had already won the distinguished
honor of being known as Entertainers
and have won wide reputation for
their unbounded hospitality. She is
known throughout the great west and
northwest as a numbering city. Her
large saw mills and manufacturing
establishments bring her in contact
with the farming interests of the west.
No matter what state or territory you
visit you will meet with the product OF
this city. The output of her seven
saw mills reaches over 1OO,0O0,0OO feet
of lumber annually. The Murrv
Foundry and Machine shops have
established state reputation in the
manufacture of engines and machinery
Of all kinds. Curtis Bros Mfg Co. is
capitalized at $500, 900 and their wares
are found in the elegant residence and
business property in the rapidly grow
ing cities of the west. The Box Factory
located here probably supplies MANY of
the merchants in southern and eastern
cities with the necessary boxes with
which they ship their goods TO different
ports. This municipality is provided
with two of the best railroad corpora
tons of the state, the c., NJ & St Paul
running North and South, and the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western
running East and West, with prospects
of more railroad facilities in the near
future. This city is surrounded by
excellent farming lands and forests OF
hardwood timber. They have many
small industries which add greatly to
their yearly output. Wausau is a city
of many schools and churches which
speak louder than words in praise and
honor of her people. Elegant and
costly residences bedeck her landscape
and stand as monuments to indicate
the wealth of her citizens and the
excellent taste of her architects and
builders. Her business blocks, stores,
hotels and public buildings are all of a
high and costly character which would
do honor to cities of more pretentious
proportions. Wausau enjoys all the
modern conveniences used at the
present time, electric light, water

Bank will convince the visitor that he
has shown excellent taste in his decora-

three rooms are elegantly furnished,
and therefore very pleasant and attrac

the Wisconsin river is very inviting and
calls forth exclamations Of delight.

He invites you all to call and see him.

is bright and promising. New enter
prises are being talked of now and
before the close of 1892 a large cotton
or woolen mill will probably be counted
as the latest venture.
1t was the writer's good fortune to be
entertained while in the city by Mr..
John Day, the extensive lumberman,
and his estimable wife, who has the
faculty of making her guests feel
perfectly at home. We were given the
freedom of their elegant home and
nothing was spared by any member of
the family that would in any way add to
the pleasure of our visit among them
The statement that you can judge city
by her people, is exemplifed by stay
at the residence Of Mr.. John Day.
About sixty members of the Associ-
alton were present and took part in the
discussions They are all agreed that
we never held more interesting and
profitable session in the history of the
association. Excellent papers were
read by prominent newspaper men of
the state Several resolutions were
passed. Among the important ones,
was one urging the passing OF a law
prohibiting the government from
printing envelopes in competition with
printers. The following officers were

The Iro. work-rs' side

The national lodge of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron and Steel workers
has issued circular to the American
public relating to the recent troubles at
the Carnegie iron works at Homestead, in
which the troubles are reviewed. and in
which the facts are stated to be as fol-
lows:
So many erroneous and false state
ments have been published as to the
cause for which the men are SO nobly
contending, their conduct during the
struggle, the present situation. and their
prospects of victory that we feel call ed
upon to issue this statement to the Amer
ican public.
1t is not true that the men are receiv-
ing the high wages generally supposed.
nor do large number own their homes :.
We have made a careful investigation.
and find that just before the lockout
there were 8 431 employed in the mills;
of this number there we're 13 whose
wages averaged about 81 so per day
as averaged between $5 and 81 per day
54 averaged from $4 to $5 per day; L.
677 averaged from 81 SO to So SO per
day. and 1, ,631 received IA cents per hour
or less. And further, we find 8 to 1C
per cent own their homes, and about Is
per cent moe have their homes under
mortgage; the remainder paw rent, aud a
number of these have been evicted by the
CaInegies.
1t is not that the men are only Defend
ing the wages of the higher-priced work
men. 1t is in defense of the IA cents per
hour men as much as any other that the
Homestead workmen are making their
gallant fight. Notwithstanding the mill
tary forces of the state of Pennsvlvania
have been under arms ut Homestead for
nearly five weeks and the entire country
had been ransacked to find beings so low
as to hire themselves to the company,
there are less than 600 persons in the
mills, and less than dozen skilled work.
men who can perform tho work required.
The situation is such, we confidently as
sert, that at no time during the struggle
we're the prospects of victory as bright as
they are now.
What the men in this contest need is
your substantial support as we'll as your
sympathy. The poorer paid men in
Homestead and other Carnegie mills
where the men are now out to help their
brothers at Homestead are the ones who
need your immediate help, and money is
required to maintain their manhood,
honor and interests. Every worker and
liberty loving citizen should contribute to
the financial support of the brave men
who today occupy the position Of the adj
vance guard of the labor movement OF
America. The struggle at Homestead
represents the issues between freedom
and slavery. progress and reaction. and
must be maintained until the workmen
have some fair measure or recognition
from the Carnegies.

He Was Not Tortured as Reported-The
Culprit's InsoIence.
NASHUA, NH, Aug. 5-The Evening
Telegraph today prints letter from
Captain Alfred E. Hunt, commanding
battery E at Homestead, in reply to a
recent editorial in that paper, charging
that the punishment of Private Iams
wss unjustifedly brutal, etc. Captain
Hunt says: private Iams was not tor
tured in his punishment by Colonel
Streator, as his suspension by the
thumbs did not throw the whole weight
of his body On those members. After
five minutes suspension he asked
for chew of tobacco in the same arro-
CANT, insolent manner, which was char
acteristic Of his entire conduct in camp,
and also all through his service in
the guard. He purposely swallowed
the tobacco to make himself sick, ac-
cording to his own self confessed state
ment afterward. He was let down
from the ridge-pole after twenty min
utes' suspension. suffering from the
nausea occssioned by his having swal-
lowed tobacco. During the entire even
ing and night after this punishment, the
man treated the matter loosely, and
made no complaints of having suffered"
Captain Hunt further says that the
statement of Iams that his exclamation
was thoughtless one, is wrong, for
when earnestly requested to withdraw
the exclamation, he doggedly and per-
sistently refused to do so.
