Meats in the days of our pious ancestors 1 were in truth food fit for the king, for the common people knew next to nothing 1 about them their purse.strings would hardly stretch around theIprice. It was only in the 18th century that the com mon people had much meat. Macaulay says: s'It is the fashion tOplace the gold en age of England in times when noble men were destitute of comforts, the want of which would be intolerable to mod ern footman; when farmers and store- keepers breakfasted upon loaves, the very sight of which would raise a riot in a modern wOrkhouse."
 You have long heard it stated that with the progress in medicine and SCI cnce, longevity is on the increase; that
 is, men live much longer to-day than they did 20O-3O0 years ago. They live better, more comfortably, are better housed; they know better how to take care of themselves to-day, they know betteq how to treat disease, and hence they live more years. You have often heard this, but dare say your naturally quizzical mind has as often put a ques- ton mark against it as 8 statement of fact.

WE HAVE MANY REASONS
for .thankfulpesg to God.

for .thankfulness to God.
 The last reason which have time to name for devout thanksgiving on this day is we ought to be sincerely thank ful that the principle of honor is every where coming tQ the front. There can be n0 duesti6n about it. the strongastl appeal to-day is the appeal to conscience The invoking of]seGtiOfiat hate1 CT 1party prejudice or class distinction reacts against those who invoke it-With fearful rebbund.S These things are looked upon as Unworthy the respect of, honest men. The earnest appeal to ma ms innate sense of justice and of right catches the thought of the people, wins their sym pab1y, captures their votes. The right will always command respect The right will always win 4dherents when manfullY championed, when. loyally sup- ported, when nobly defehded, The suc- cess thaS the right ,ddes have ought to mad Ais4to believe MqreIip the right. Men do hot want to be fooled with false is sue; men do no5 want their leaders to truckle with the wrong. Men want their leaders-to draw the. line clearly be- tween the right and the wrong, and to stand bE the right, sometimes think that Christians are afraid of their cause. They apologize for it, they excuse it.. they put on it, g., double face. That is Rot the way the, church is to win. It must, a sk no quarter. It must believe in itself. IL must believe in. the truth. It must believe in God. .-~~ --...

MUCH has been said and a good deal
guessed at in reference to the so called
treasury matter and the pOpocratic
committee is striving in every way pos
sible to distort the facts and mislead
voters as to the action of republican
members of the state senate and as
sembly in relation to the matter, but
we have not yet seen or heard of any
popocrat referring to the fact that
eUerY democratic member of the assem-
bly, with one exception voted for the
bill. Neither do they ever refer to an
other fact, that not one cent was ever
taken from the treasury on this ac-
count OF the state tr6asurers whose
bondsmen would have been effected
Baetz went out of office in 1870, TWEEN
ty-slX years ago, and Kuehn's official
term expired in 1874-twenty- two
years ago. McFetridge paid the full
amount of the judgment against him
with 4 per cent. interest. The state
has not lost one cent by the passage Of
the bill and this whole agitation is
simply for political effect at this time
and to attract the attention of voters
from the main issues of the campaign,
upon which the popOcrats are already
beaten to a standstill.

Congressional Fusion Knocked Out

- ~-~-~--
The populists of the First Congress
siOnal district are in boat on their
Observation-Disclosures About eleven
of that political faith gathered in
GAINESVILLE few days ago and endorsed
j. L. Mahoney, who had been put up
by the democrats few days before.
Through some oversight, however, they
neglected to get the certificate of Mr..
Maloney's nomination in to the secre-
tary of states office within the required
twenty days as specified by law, and
Secretary of State Casson held that his
name could not be placed on the ballot
as populist nominee.
In order to get around this provision
of law, another certificate was forward
ed to Madison which stated that the
first certificate had become imperative
by reason of not having been filed in
time, and that vacancy was thereby
caused, and the congressional commit
tee had nominated j. L. Maloney to
fill such vacancy.
To this the secretary of state replied
that, " The requirement that certifi-
Gates of nomination, for officers to be
voted for in any district embracing
more than one county, shall be filed
with the secretary of state not more
than forty days nor less than twenty
days before the day fixed by law for
the election, contained in section p OF
chapter 268 aforesaid, is mandatory,
and the secretary of state is in duty
bound to refuse to file a certificate pre-
sented to him less than twenty days be-
fore the election. This proposition has
been decided in a recent case in the
state of New York.
moreover, the facts stated by you do
not, it seems to us, constitute vacancy
within the meaning of said section "A
of chapter 288, so as to authorize you
to file the certificate of nomination GER
titled by the chairman and secretary of
the congressional committee. Said
section "a expressly applies to a case
where the vacancy has been caused by
the declination made in writing, as
provided by section a, or the death OF
the nominee. or il NAV be a vacancy
caused by the insuficiency of the GER
tifcate of nomination or the nominal
ton papers. In the case assumed, no
vacancy has been caused either by the
death or declination Of the nominee.
nor was the certificate of nomination
originally filed insufficient, but it was
filed too late. 1t seems to US quite
clear that said section "a has no appli-
cation to the case assumed by you"

The republicans Of KenOsha county
have an especially good reason for
supporting the county ticket put up by
the republican convention this fall.
Republicans are interested in not only
the proper, but the very best admins
tratiOn. of the cOunty's affairs. The
interests of the county have been for
two years in the hands of seven of the
men who are now before the voters for
reelection. Not a single charge has
been brought against any of those men.
They have conducted affairs so well,
that there has not even been a
complaint. Every man of them has
been just, courteous and attentive to
his duties. Those are the main con-
sideration8 in the conduct of county
business. Having proved themselves
good officials and worthy of the con-
fidence imposed in them, the voters of
che county should bring forth every
effort to re-elect them.

UNIMPEACHED and unimpeachable
stands the republican claim of not less
than 270 electoral votes for Mckinley
and Hobart and of a republican major
ity of more than 80 in the next house.
Nobody knows better than the pOpo-
cratic managers the rOckbound fOun-
dation upon which these claims are
based, and instead of trying to prove
them false they are talking wildly
about Bryan carrying such states as
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania-states as sure to go oVerwhelm-
ingly for Mckinley and Hobart as are
Maine and Vermont. The popocratic
Generalization grows greater each day
as The election draws near, and odds of
3, 4, and even to l are offered by
betting men on McKinley's election
without securing takers. That tells
the story better than columns of type.
The man who bets expects to win and
does not allow his personal preference
or wishes to influence his, judgment.
The betting element is backing Nc
Kinley simply because all their infor-
nation leads them to believe that he is
bound to win, and they have sought
information just as they would on a
horse race, in order that they could put
their money on the favorite. But their
winnings will hardly pay them for their
trouble, because of their inability to
find men willing to bet on Bryan. even
at the big odds now being offered.

Commendable Deeds.

The railroad boys did a very COM
mendable act few days ago." said an
Amigo paper. While Mrs. Mcintyre
was away attending her husbands
funeral, a lot Of them went over and
dug and housed 102 bushels of pototoes
for her. They went through the field
like army worms in field of oats, and
did it with will. Nor was that all.
The Ladies' auxiliary of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen went over,
Strengthened up the house, baked up
some provisions and did a lot Of sew
ing"
In the hurry, scurry and severe
tussle for self-preservation in this
world, many of us are apt to forget
that frequently we have next door a
neighbor who is in need of a kindly
word or some simple deed of love. To
be sure many of these things are per-
formed behind doors, which never open
to let the world see them, but how
much better we would all be and feel
did the public seek more the announce
ment of such deeds instead of the ever
increasing volume of scandal, crime
and other sensational matter news
papers are nowadays compelled to
publish. This world has lots of good
in it, good which would make us all
better if it could only be pushed to the
surface more, where we could all see it
and-be impelled per force of it to many
better performances.
All honor to the noble railroad boys
and the ladies auxiliary!

WON BY THE GRAY.
Kenosha Gladiators Go Down Before the
Soldiers.

Kenosha played a losing game against
Highland Park Saturday. From the
first kick off the result OF the game
could be foreseen. The home boys
landed the ball within five yards of the
enemy's goal, but the first play of the
rebels advanced it five yards. They
could not be kept behind the five yard
line, so the pigskin kept going down
the field in end plays and center
smashes until Couch, of the Highland
Park team, carried it over the line for
the first touch down about seven min
utes after the kick off. They kicked
goal, leaving the score to 0.
Kenosha again kicked the bag into
the enemy's quarters and stopped it
there. But after the snap off the same
series of left end plays and center
rushes kept the ball moving down the
field DeDiemar, of the University
eleven, made some fine tackles and dis
couraged any attempts around his end.
Priddis played in splendid form, and so
did DeGolyer until a sprained ankle
put him out of the game. His injuries
and the change necessitated somewhat
weakened the play. Jebb was taken
from left tackle and put behind the
line, while Allen was substituted in his
place.
Though the boys played a strong
game, they were far out weighted by
! their opponents and could not sustain
center smash Allen saved a touch
down by a remarkable tackle made
after a run across the field. Before the
end of the first half Richards and Car
ter, of the visiting team, each scored a
touch down, making the score at the
close Of the first half s to in High
land Parks favor.
The second half was the same story
over again with a little stronger play
ing on the part OF the home team.
They made long game around the
right end and promised for time to
score. but the work on the opposing
side and a tumble by the home team
put an end to it. Highland Park got
the ball again and played it through
for the last touch down. They failed
to kick goal and the score stood 20 to 0
with the zero for KenOsha.
The boys make great mistake in
putting themselves up against teams of
so superior might. The average
weight of the Highland Park team is
1853, while their own is not more than
$50 at the most. There must have
been some misunderstanding in the
negotiations, for it hardly seems reason
able that the boys would knowingly
undertake to play team of so much
greater weight. The following is the
| line up and score:

Most Unkindest Cut of All.

A man up in Kenosha county prays
a decree of divorce from his wife for
these reasons: She chews tobacco,
takes her whisky straight and lots of
it, swears like a sailor, fights like a

makes him sleep in the hen house and
wait at every meal until even the dog
has been fed. When neighbor steps
in, he says, she speaks of him in the
most endearing terms, as the " dear old

{" old rubber-neck, etc. We are sorry
for that man, and hope he will be
happy in. the sweet hereafter. Lake
