The Campaign Opened.

AS advertised, a meeting of the Peo-
ple's party was held in the Concord1a
Opera house last Thursday evening
and was fairly wen attended. This
was the first political meeting of the
campaign. After tedious reading of
the party platform, Dr. Frank D.
Powell, mayor Of La Crosse and Peo-
pies party candidate for governor,
spoke for half an hour in the interest
of his cause. Many of our citizens who
went to hear an eloquent speech were
disappointed, as DR.. Powell is not a
brilliant orator He spoke plainly and
gentlemanly, but aside from making.a
good impression personally, he failed
to awaken much enthusiasm OF per-
haps gain many votes for his party.
About the only applause that greeted
the speaker was when he scored the
Democrats for not fulfilling promises
or when he mentioned anything favor
able to the Republican cause, on which
occasions the enthusiasm of number
VI hepuOllcanS present gave vent to
itself in hearty bursts of approval
(They say, however, they were not the
applause committee.) After the meet
ing reception was held at the Com
mercial hotel and the nucleus of a
party organization formed.
In an interview DR.. Powell claimed
that the fight this fall will be between
the Peoples and Republican parties,
and that from reports received from
labor organizations endorsing their
platform he has every reason to
think that he will be our next gov
ernor. He also stated thata candidate
will be put in nomination for congress
from this district.

a $4,000 University Building.

The conference of the Lutheran
synod of Wisconsin, called to take
steps towards the replacing of the
Northwestern university building de-
stroyed by fire a month ago, began at
st. Marks church last Wednesday
morning and at II O'Clock the follow
ing day adjourned sine die. Rev. P.
Won Rohr, of Winona, president of the
synod, conducted the sessions, and
about 100 delegates-cIergy and laity-
were in attendance. Afteran informal
discussion on proposed plans, and
lengthy debate on the question as to
whether the walls of the old building,
left standing, should be used or not, it
was finally decided to erect an entire
ly new structure at cost not to exceed
$4,000. This would require an appro-
priation of $4,000 above the insurance
on the old building, which is $4,000.
Private subscriptions from Water
town people at hand lessen the appro-
priation about $1,000. The conference
appointed three of the delegates
Messrs. Schwartz, Krone and Feurp-
feil--to act with the board of trustees
as building committee, and to them
was given power to adopt a plan for
the building, let the contract and push
the work rapidly so as to complete the
structure this fall. It was decided to
provide better fire protection and to
keep the new building fully insured.
At the Thursday session the question
arose as to changing the name of the
institution, it having been requested
by the Northwestern university at
Evanston that such action be taken.
Although the Evanston college is the
older, the conference considered that it
would necessitate considerable incon-
venience to withdraw the charter from
the state, and SO rejected the PROPOSE
ton. The matter of affiliation with the
Milwaukee Medical college was not
brought up, as was expected. the offer
to affiliate having been Withdrawn.
Wednesday evening the synod held
divine service at the church. Rev. A.
Pieper, of Milwaukee, preached the
sermon

Sauerhering for Congress.

The Republican convention at Por-
tage yesterday nominated Edward
Sauerhering, of Mayville, for congress-
man in the Second district, by acclama-
ton. After careful caucusing by the
different county delegations, it was
found that Mr.. Sauerhering was the
favorite of majority, 80 no other
names were presented to the conven-
ton. The nominee is popular young
German, SO years old, hailing from
Barwig's own home, and it is predicted
that he will make his strength felt at
the polls. In accepting the nomination
Mr.. Sauerhering said be would engage
in an active and tireless canvass of the
district. The convention was very har-
monious and the delegates enthusiastic
over the prospects for Republican sue
cess in the district this fall.

An Unprecedented Drouth.

The summer weather has been dry
and hot almost beyond precedent.
Local Observer Emery furnished yes
terday some figures on the subject.
From January 1 to July 1 the excess
in temperature over the normal was
1926 degrees, while the rainfall from
March to August 20 was three inches
less than the average. The rainfall in
May was one and one-fourth inches
more than the normal, and during June
and July one-half inch and two and
one-fourth inches respectively below
it. Most of the rain of the summer
was from June 16 to June 26. Since
the latter date sixty-day drouth has
interviewed with the exception of few
light showers. The drouth last year
was in August and September, and it
was shorter. The average temperature
of last July was 72 degrees, the highest
July average since 1870, except 1878
and 1876, when the average was 1913
degrees and 72 degrees ectively.
The heat in August has been greater.
The rainfall in July was LOS inches,
the lowest since 1870 except 1886, when
it only amounted to ninety-four hun
dreths. The rainfall in August up to
date has been twenty nine hundredths,
the lowest ever known. The averag e
rainfall for August for twenty-five e
years has been 2.85 inches. Unless q
rainstorm is had soon, August will be
a record breaker Sentinel.

Not to Build at Superior
The Superior Leader of last Friday
printed the following:

The Superior Leader of last Friday
printed the following:
%: G: Broenniman, representative
OF the Globe Milling company, of Wa
tertoWn, Wis. is in the city investigat-
ing milling facilities Of the head of the
lake with the aim of building q -four
mill. The Globe Milling company own
or have owned two mills at Watertown,
which, though small ones. are among
the best.ln the southern part of the
state.
Mr.. Broenniman is not negotiating
Tor site, as that business will be at
tended to by H. Mulberger, the presi-
dent OF the company, who will be
here next week. However, Mr.. Broen-
nlman is acquiring information as to
the shipping rates, the facilities for
getting wheat, etc. He has inspected
several of the local mills, which he re-
CARDS as among the best equipped he
has ever seen.
The Globe Milling company have no
such intentions at present as outlined
above, and no action whatever has
been taken by them as to replacing
their burned mill. The above news
paper report gained ground from the
fact that Mr.. Broenniman, who has
travelled for the company several years,
was at Superior last week completing
arrangements with the William List
man Milling company, one of the larg-
est and best concerns there, to handle
their fine fours-patents and bakers
In the Eastern territory he has been
covering for the Globe company, the
capacity of the latter's plant now not
being considered adequate to meet the
wants Of the former trade. In connec-
ton with the handling of these new
products, Mr.. Broenniman will contin-
ue to supply the rye -four trade from
the Globe plant, as heretofore. Mr..
Broenniman is on his first trip this
week under the new order of things,
and all will wish that his future efforts
may be Of mutual benefit to all con-
cerned, as they rave been in the past.

ing, under the auspices of the Young

Wien this organization entertains, a
most njoyable affair. About fifty cou-
pies responded to invitations and made

bowling. The evening was perfect, and

with Japanese lanterns, everything
seemed to sparkle with gayety. All

gether enjoyable functions of the social

the average degree of beauty IN the
personality and dress of its young la

nue. to the evenings further pleasures.

tlons enumerated on the cards. Re-
freshments, consisting Of ice-cream,
cakes and lemonade, were then served

the evening was given to dancing, the
parlors being laid with canvas for the
purpose and the sweet strains of the
Mandolin orchestra, stationed in the
alcove, accompanying the "trippers of
the light fantastic" while those not
desiring to dance occupied the spacious
verandas. During the evening Will
Sproesser favored the company with
several appreciable baritone songs.
