Installation and Dance.

The X. P. Lodge officers were
installed Friday evening at special
meeting by Geo. l.. Williams. In con-
nection with this service an informal
dance party followed the installation
The Mandolin Club consisting OF
Messrs. Frank and John Steib, Otto
Helmold, Frank Lyon and John
Schnable Jr. furnished the music. 1t
was their first appearance and they
made a great hit. Everyone present
enjoyed the music hugely and report it
just fine. Refreshments were served
and most enjoyable evening was spent.
The ladies went into ecstacies over the
fine apartments and the elegant
furnishings. The attractions of the
club room were so great that some of
the ladies wished for like quarters in
the building. There is a general
sentiment among the K. P. members to
give these informal parties without
refreshments every two weeks from
O'Clock until II. Fred Stamm acted as
caller. The following Is Il list of those
who were present:

Another Industry.

The Pioneer Wood Pulp Co. of this
city have contra cted their entire product
for 1895 to the National Patent Box Co
of Chicago. This company are the
present owners of the box factory in
Wausau. For this purpose the Pioneer
Wood Pulp Co. will be obliged to add
machinery and steaming facilities which
will necessitate several thousand dollars
expense. The pine pulp will be sup
piled this company in board form
instead of the present form. It will
then be shipped to Wausau and used in
the box factory there. Quite a number
of radical changes will be made in the
present mill, including large dry kiln
which will be erected on the south side
of the present mill. Work will
commence on these improvements in
a few weeks.

Green Bay Railroad.

From the Green Bay Gazette We
quote the following from Joseph n.
Walker Jr., of New York, vice president
of the Green Bay, Winona {, st. Paul
railway:
'Unde, the circumstances it is there
fore more than gratifying 10 notice the
steady and healthy increase in the
earnings of the Green Bay, Winona &
st. Paul road, and the directors are
conscious that this in large measure is
due to the Jealous efforts and the clear
head Of Mr.. Champion and the men
under him. During the month of
August last year, when the Debs strike
occurred, we fell behind, but from
September on the increase in earnings
was continuous and more gratifying.
What this really means will be best
appreciated by railroad men and
capitalists who have their money inves-
ted in railroads.
As soon as snow has fallen, and the
numbering firms begin to move their
logs business will be quite brisk, l
expect. We propose to extend the lola
branch as soon as practicable and
anticipate good results therefrom. The
road on that branch, the bed and
tracks are in excellent condition, and
this speaks well for the contractors who
built the branch. We were much
pleased with the report from Superin-
tendent Seymour on that subject.
The recent decision at Winona in
favor of our road and against property
owners who had sued for the recovery
of abuttal damages, although we only
rent the trackage, was quite a victory
for US. If the case had gone the other
way, similar cases might have been
started against many roads in the
country.
The report that this road will be sold
is without any foundation. In the first
place, there is no reason why it should
be done, and then, again, do not be-
lieYe that enough capital could be found,
or would be willing, to invest IN any
railroad property, even though it is
paying.
/ am glad to see and hear that Green
Bay is pushing ahead and continues to
be prosperous. Although but few
hours here, / have seen diverse and
many evidences of prosperity. Your
street car system is a good one and l
understand that it ls making money.
l am heartily glad of it. Yes, l manage
to keep pretty we'll posted on Green
Bay affairs because / must do so, for
various reasons. And l admire the
push Of your Business Mems associa
ton. 1t is not every city during these
times of financial depression that is
able to locate new factories and induce
capital to invest"

Young Man and the Church.

What he asks for is precisely what is
lacking in hundreds, yes, thousands of
pulpits throughout America: a common
sense religion, a vigorous affirmative
religion to help him meet the require
ments of his daily life. He can general
ly solve the problems of his play-time,
but be cannot always meet those which
come to him in his work-hours. He
wants to feel when he goes to church
that there is a man in the pulpit who
understands him, who knows and
appreciates what are the profile ms
which young man must face, and who
tells him in a clear, honest, practical
manner, how he must solve those prob
lens. He does not need to be told thai
he must not swear: that he must not
drink; that he must not be adulterous.
His own selfrespect has taught him
that. He does not want to be told what
be must not do; his soul thirsts and
hungers to be told what he must do.
He wants an affirmative religion; not a
negative creed. His active life and his
association with men and women of the
world bring him face to face with social
and ethical problems which he does not
understand, and when they effect his
own welfare he knows not how to meet
them. This is what he expects the pull.
pit to build for him-not the ground
work for goody-goody boy, but the
strong, honest, fundamental principles
upon which he can rear sterling
character.

Dedicated an Organ.

Alex Zenier, of this city, appeared as
organist in concert at the Presbyterian
church, Menominee, Friday evening.
Of his playing upon the new organ
dedicated at that time, the Menominee
Herald says: ''The instrument has an
elegant tone, and in his rendition OF
the 'Walpurgis Night Music by Faust,
Mr.. Zenier brought out its sweetest
tones. He also responded to an encore
and played an instrumental piece upon
the piano. The audience were de-
lighted with his efforts in each instance
and were pleased not only with the
beautiful and imposing appearance OF
the large organ, but also with its melodi-
Gus strains in the hands of an artist

been welded was in Scandinavia, 800
