Try 1t and See.

Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. Irl R. Hicks by
those who do not fully understand the
facts, there is no denying the truth that
his paper and Almanac have come to
stay. His splendid journal, WORD AND
Works. is now entering its tenth year,
largely increased in circulation and in
every way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has attained.
His 1897 Almanac is now ready and is
by far the finest and most beautiful he
has yet issued. 1t contains los pages,
including cover artistically printed in
coIors, and is filled from back to back
with just what is wanted in every shop,
office and home in America. One
feature of the Almanac for 1897 is a
series of II original, beautifully en-
graved star maps, with explanatory
chapters. which could not be bought for
less than five dollars in any work on
astronomy. As Mr.. Hicks has SO cor
rectly and faithfully warned the public
of coming droughts, floods, cold waves,
billiards., tornadoes and cyclones, in
the years passed, aside from the other
varied and splendid features of his
paper and Almanac, these consldera-
tons alone should prompt every family
to subscribe at once for 1897. The AL
manac is only 25cts. copy. WORD AND
Works is one dollar a year, and q copy
of the fine Almanac goes as a premium
with every yearly subscription. Write

IS a common cold. Children who are
subject TO it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by a peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the

Forty-Two Inmates of the Peniten=
tiary Pardoned by Gov. Upham.

Gov. Upham has pardoned forty-two
inmates of the state penitentiary during
his term of two years, and he has still
six weeks in which he can add to the
number. Gov. Peck pardoned forty
four inmates of the Institution during
his second term and forty-two during
his first term, The anti-administration
organs assailed Gov. Peck without
measure for the number of his pardons.
They are administration papers now
and have nothing to say.
1t is only matter of politics with
the organs, and as such it deserves re-
buke. There should be no politics in
the treatment of public affairs. The
acts of the executive are proper matters
for newspaper comment and criticism
provided they deserve it, but the mere
fact that pardon is granted is not
proof of misplaced executive clemency.
1t is undoubtedly true that the major
ity of the pardons granted by any
governor have been properly given.
Most OF them have been granted to re-
store citizenship, and on the recon-
mendation Of the prison warden
Others have been granted on the ad-
vice of the judge who presided at the
trial, the prosecuting attorney and the
members of the jury. 1t is in the ex-
ceptional cases where the cause for
criticism lies. The true newspaper
gives the facts, and uses them as the
basis for its comments, if comments it
has to make.
Of the forty-two pardons granted by
Gov. Upham four have been to persons
serving life sentences and thirteen to
persons serving twenty-year sentences.
The rest have been for lesser offenses
than those which have drawn long
terms at state eXpens milwaukee,

He VIOLATED THE RULES,
August Hinrichs Jr. Expelled
From the Musicians
Union.
Charged With Employing Men in His
Orchestra at Less Than
Union Wages.

August Hinrichs Jr., leader of both the
Baldwin and California Theater orchestras,
has been expelled from the Musicians
Mutual Protective Union for alleged vic.
lation of certain sections OF the constitu-
ton of the organization named. 1t is
charged that the expelled musician en-
ployed certain men at less than the regu-
lar price list, that he allowed others to
play in his orches:ras without paving
them at all, only giving them the prefer
ence when extras were required.
Mr.. Hinrichs was at his place as leader
of the Baldwin orchestra last night though
the rules of the union prohibit others be-
longing to the organization from continu-
ing under him. But the union will not en-.
force its decision at once. It has simplv
notified Mr.. Bouvier that he must get an
other leader.
Mr.. Hinrichs said last night that he did
not intend that his enemies in the Must
clans Union should force him out of the
organization.
Il have nothing to say in regard to the
action OF certain members of the union in
trying to force me out.' said Mr.. Hinrichs
"and propose staying with the union
which I helped to organize ten years ago.
cannot account for this action of certain
directors OF the union, but will defeat
them. There is no truth in the charges
that they have brought against me.

ira of the Baldwin Theater. In fact, 1
have never had any trouble with nv men.
always treat them we'll. They are not.
against me, and will win in the end.''
This is all Mr.. Hinrichs would saw in
regard to the matter. 1t is quite probable
that Manager Bauvier of the Baldwin will
not remove Hinrichs simply because the
Musicians Union has taken this stand
apainst him
