be shed from and after the 3lst day OF January
1895 and provides that the Mayor shall appoint a
Commissioner Of Public Charities. who snail hold

OF Correction, who shall serve for similar period
That Their, Is urgent necessity for the passage OK
this bin cannot be doubted by any one who VIII
take the pains 10 examine the needs OF this depart

such change In the system OF administration are
the following:

OF Wisconsin Opens Its Doors Wide

The Citizens Fire Association. of
this city, after thorough examination
of its financial condition, business stand
ing and practical methods, by the in
surance commissioner of Wisconsin.
has been licensed to do a general fire
insurance business in that state.
Secretary Kneutson has just returned
from Wisconsin after having arranged
preliminary matters for a vigorous cam
paign in that field having large bust
ness on preferred risks already pledged
in that state by the same method that
over one million of insurance of the
very best class was pledged in Minneso-
ia before the first policy was issued.
The pledged business of this company
now amounts to over two million dollars
of insurance on whice policies are being
issued as fast as the business can be
carefully inspected.
The care and good judgment that is
being exercised in the matter of taking
risks is evidenced by the fact that on its
widely extended business no losses have
occurred to date and covering the first
three months business of this institution

ones could not be convinced that he
WAS dead and on Tuesday, the day OF
the funeral, the Doctor was called again
to be sure that father was surely dead
10 all earthly surroundings.
Mr. Heller WAS always Woodworking
man, kind and good TO his family, and

PREACHER OF TO-DAY.

1t is not an indication of religious
degeneracy that the young man wants
shorter sermons thar did his fore
fathers. But he does want them, and
he will go where he will get them.
And just here is where the Episcopal
Church is adding SO largely to its mem
bership of young men by its twenty
minute sermons. To be compelled to
listen to thirtyfve or forty-minute
sermon is not only asking too much of
people nowadays, but it is unnecessary.
If man be of the proper mental
caliber, he can say all he need say, on
any given subject, in twenty or twenty
five minutes. A man rises from good
sermon of that length in a refreshed
state Of mind-he rarely does from
forty minute sermon which must, Of
necessity, have offended the laws Of
concentration and condensation. In
every branch of our literature, the
order is, concentration. Space and
time are alike valuable commodities in
journalism. Why should they be of
less value in the pulpit? The minister
of to-day must remember that he is not
the only fount of intellectual or moral
inspiration in the community, as was
true a hundred years ago. He talks to-
day to far more intelligent and broad
minded audience than did his predeces-
of py1rI
are thinking more for themselves than
ever before The minister can better
hope to suggest than to teach. There
fore, should his sermons be more
compact, filled with living knowledge
of the times rather than of Il borrowed
knowledge from history. Things of the
present are uppermost in the minds of
the people of to-day, and this example
and this tendency the young man, of
ali others, is absorbing. And when he
goes to church, he expects, and has a
right to expect, that he will find the
pulpit up to the times,- or, to use one
of his own pet phrases, cup to date"
The minister Of the present cannot
afford to be behind the times in thought
or method. He should rather be in
advance Of them. But If he cannot be
that, let him at least be abreast of
modern thought. If he seeks for illus
trations in his sermon, let him go to
modern life instead of history, or even
to the bible. A modern illustration of
,ravery, such as occur daily all around
us, will be far more effective and better
understood than if the heroism OF
David before Goliath is employed. The
church is sticking too closely to tradi-
lions in these times, and it's ministers
are to blame. The living present is
always the most interesting to those
who make it and comprise it, and the
clergyman of to-day should, of all men,
itel this, and govern himself accord
lngly.

from the business men of this city
asking for cooperation in a move to
connect the two places by telephone.
This was splendid idea and we should
have been on speaking terms with our
sister city at the other end of the
county long ago, as well as with Stevens
Point, Wausau and the cities more dis
tant. We understand the proposition
meets with hearty approval by the
Marshfeld people and no doubt steps
VIII be taken sooner or later to build
the line. By all means let US talk to
