Memorial DaV.

O. D. Peese post, G. A. r., is in re-
ceipt of General Order No. l, issued by
Department Commander J. A. Wat
rous, of which the following in regard
to Memorial day observances is por-
ton:
Memorial day is close at hand. It is
not necessary to urge the comrades of
this department to properly observe
Memorial day, but | wish 10 make
suggestion or two. AT the recent de-
partment encampment resolution
was adopted, unanimously, urgently
requesting the proper authorities to
exert their influence in favor of mem
orial ceremonies in all of the colleges
and public and private schools of the
state, on the Friday afternoon or
80. The value of such ceremonies
would be very great in teaching patri-
otism and in preparing the young for
good citizenship. I trust that the com
rades will keep ibis question so con-
stantly and so prominently before the
public that it will not be long before
impressive memorial ceremonies are
held in all of our educational institu-
tons, public and private, each year, at
the time Indicated; and I am sure that
you will all join me in the hope and
belief that when the custom is adopted,
it will exist throughout the life of the
republic. Ask the press, the pulpit,
the boards, uperintendents, teachers,
children and the public generally to
cooperate with You IN establishing the
custom. With that custom established,
with memorial ceremonies in the hun
dreds of thousands of educational in
stltutlOns OF our land, as the 30th of
May approaches, we need never fear,
comrades, that the nation we contri-
buted something towards re-establish-
ing, will abandon the observances that
have become so dear to our hearts
Establish that custom and Memorial
day exercises will be as notable for
centuries to come as they have been
since the day our ideal volunteer sol
dler and leader, John A. Logan, intro
| duced the beautiful observance The
| practice that has grown zap of posts GO
ing IN body to hear a patriotic sermon
the Sunday evening previous to Mem
orlal day, is in all respects commend
able, and should be continued. May
we not greatly enlarge the number of
patriotic sermons on that occasion by
respectfully requesting tNe pastors OF
all the churches to preach patriotic
sermon the Sunday. morning or
evening, preceding the day we strew
flowers upon the graves of our COM
rades? | here make that request of
pastors, ofall denominations. and ask
! that the request be repeated and en-
phasized by the ex-soldiers and all
other patriotic people in the state.
Anything that tends TO improve Amer
lean citizenship-and patriotism does
that-must be pleasing in the sight of
God. Patriotic teaching, no matter
where taught, tends to better citizen
ship.
Please spare no pains to make May
80, next, notable for the large number
of Memorial day observances, and also
for their high character and permanent
good results.

For Governor.

1t is manifest that it is yet an open
question as to who shall be the Re
publican candidate for governor this
year. A long array of available
names is still before us for choice.
And it is evident that the name of
James 6. Monahan, of Darlington, so
favorably mentioned early in the sea-
son, is steadily growing in favor. He
is looked upon as the young mans
candidate; and a very large number
Of good Republicans are saying that
this is a good year for young men.
And his few years are not his only
reCOmmendation-he is able honest,
trustworthy and easily adapts him
self to new duties and responsibilities.
He is independent-minded, but glad
to receive and consider counsel. If
chosen the peoples executives it would
be his earnest and conscious effort to
do his whole duty by them; this he
would regard as the worthiest and
highest ambition for an official to
cherish
Mr.. Monahan will receive the en-
thusiastic support of his section, and
we presume the First district will give
him a nearly solid support. He has
the most FAVORABLE assurance from
other parts of the state: in fact his
friends are rallying strong and are
coming to win, if good, honest effort
will accomplish victory Whitewater

LAST Sundays Sentinel, in its Ocon-
somowoc correspondence, prints the
following regarding the appointment
of Democratic postmaster at Ocon-
.OmoWoc:
Postmaster Warham Parks COM
mission bears date May Is, 1890
four years ago tomorrow. For real
sons unnecessary to recall he did not
come into possession Of the Office until
about the first Of June. Even if he is
TO hold the Office until the expiration
offour years from the latter date, the
official plum for his successor is very
nearly ripe, and several applicants
who have placed their baskets in
position to catch it are anxiousiy
awaiting advices from the national
capitol Most of these aspirants are
persons who would creditably dis
charge the duties of the office and are
respectively backed by numerous petit
TONERS for their appointment. They
entertained the mistaken notion
that the wishes of the Oconomowoc
Democrats would be decisive in the
matter. That was an aggregious
but natural blunder, as was assent
ed in the correspondence of The Sen
tinel some months ago in an article
which declared that the local Demo-
cratic leaders were impotent in the
matter; that the office was at the dis
posal OF the Rev. Ernst, OF the Luth-
eran Theological academy at Water
town. and that he would give it to
Charles w Notbohm, of this city,
whether the Oconomowoc Demo
cracy liked it or not. The assertion
was generally regarded here as incred
IDLE, the local Democratic organ de-
MED it with honest Indignation, and
each of the several applicants kept
right on thinking that the best way
to become postmaster at Oconomo-
woe was to satisfy the appointing
power that he was the choice Of the
people Of OconOmowOc. That hallu-
cination will be dispelled within the
next two weeks, and Charles W.
Notbohm, the choice of the Rev. Ernst,
will receive his commission. just as
surely as did the Rev. Ernst's protege
at Hartland.

The STEELrRAIL POOL.


PITTSBURG. Nov. 2S.-The information
that the steel rail pool has been reorganized
by a meeting at Philadelphia is not de-
MED by the Carnegie officials. neither is it
confirmed. In commenting upon the re-
port the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
says: IF the report is true it must mean
that either the pool has been enlarged by
the admission of the Denver and the New.
Youngstown mill, or else the reduction In
the price of rails from s2i to So indicates
that the combine believes at this price IL
can freeze the new firms which have lately
entered the field. Among some steel bro
kers the theory prevails that the reduction
was ordered because of a warning from
the railroad companies that they will not
pay the prices of last year, and unless they
secured a cut In the price they would
not purchase more rails than are
necessary for repairs and the putting In
of switches, etc. They would not extend
able rates. This threat, the brokers say,
was a winner. and the pool offered a COM
promise In the pool of last year were the
Carnegie Steel Company. limited. the Illi-
nois Steel Company, the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel Company. the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and the St. Louis firm. They
divided the territory and entered into
orders such as the Pennsylvania railroads
annual contract. They are alleged to have
paid the owners of the Sparrows Point
agreement not to operate it's plant, which
was completed and was one of the best
equipped in the country. Since then the
Denver plant has been completed and has
secured several large Western orders,
which, it is said, frightened the combine.
The Youngstown mill is almost ready for
operation, and, as II Is quite complete, will
be a factor If not admitted to the COM
bine."

WORK OF THE RESCUE HOME.
Has Been Successful fn Leading Many
Women Ca Better Lives.

A moral wave has struck the city, and IL
is hard TO tell what the result will be.
Within the past week the police have re-
ceived Information that four keepers OF dis
reputable resorts have decided TO close
their houses and lead different lives. Tn
recent order issued by the city authorities
TO the effect that all such places must take
out a city license before they can sell in
toxicating liquors is expected TO result in
the closing of many more disreputable re-
sorts. For a week past a few jealous
Christians have been conducting religious
services i'm the different resorts with APP
parent success. For several years a woman
known as Kate Reeves has conducted an
Objectionable house on East Court street.
One night last week a small crowd OF mis-
sionaries called at her place and asked

to do better. Mrs. Reeves. after her con-

Preston. serving life sentences in the peni-
tertiary. They were first condemned TO be
hanged, but their sentences were COM
muted to life Imprisonment. and they have
been in prison eighteen years. The Gov
ernor. in his report of the case. says it is
the strangest, most novel and peculiar he
ever heard of or ever considered. The men
were convicted OF the murder of a maj
named England, his wife, son and little
daughter. in Montague county. Aug. 26,
1876 Krebbs. so the evidence shows. was
arrested for the crime and was carried be-
fore Mrs England, who lived two days
after being shot,, and she recognized him as
one or the men who had committed the
deed Her daughter, too, before dying. said
krebbs did the shooting. 1t was this evil
dence. the Governor says. that led TO the
conviction Of the men. A son of the Eng
lands who saw the murderers when they
first rode up. and escaped. testified that
they were Bill Taylor, an escaped convict,
and one John Musick, a ~neighbor of the
Englands. who had a grudge against them.
The Governor, after careful consideration
or all the facts, says Ii is his belief that
krebbs and Preston were innocent, and
that the real criminals are John Musick
a short time after the Englands were MUIR
dered. and their whereabouts are unknown.
Preston and Krebbs, the pardoned men,
are over seventy years Did, and are in
feeble health. An effort will now be made
TO bring Musick and Bill Taylor to justice.

time to leave the hall. The fight occurred
in front of Monyhan's saloon and the the

men were engaged in IL. The parties are
not known, there being no arrests because
there were no policemen I'm sight. The
struggle lasted fully twenty minutes, II is
said, without disturbance, and IL was then
only brought TO a close by the sounding OF
a police whistle by some one connected
with the restaurant on the corner. There
were repeated knock-down blows; there
was hair pulling and rolling upon the side
walk. The fight at first threatened TO be-
gin in the saloon. but Monyhan drove the
party out. There were six OF

he was struck and knocked down. Then he
jumped up and the rough and tumble scene
resulted. So far as known there was no
attempt to use a knife or weapon other
than fists. ard the damages when the sound
OF the whistle called an end 10 the round

len in an unsightly manner and bied freely
from eyes and nose. He was led, stagger-
