and to transact such other business
as may come before the conven-
ton.
The Republican electors Of
Wisconsin, and all voters without
regard to past political affiliations,
who believe in Republican princi-
pies and endorse the financial and
protective policies of the National
Republican party, are cordially
invited to unite under this call in
sending delegates to said State
Convention.
The change in the basis of
representation recommended by
the last Republican State Conven-
ton, and the resolutions adopted
by the Republican State Central
Committee, entitle the several
assembly districts in the State to
one delegate for every two hun
dred and fifty ESQ votes or major
part thereof cast at the last pre-
ceding presidential election.
Special attention is called to the
fact that, in accordance with
resolution recommended by the
State Convention and formally
adopted by the State Central
Committee, in electing delegates to
the State Convention in counties
having more than one assembly
district, the unit basis shall be the
assembly district; that in all other
cases the county shall be such
unit, except in Milwaukee County.
The attention Of Chairmen Of
Republican County Committees IS
hereby called to the fact that, by
resolution adopted at the last
Republican State Convention, all
county conventions to elect dele
gates to state conventions must be
called on notice Of not less than
four weeks; all town or ward
caucuses, as primaries to a state
convention, on notice Of not less
than ten days; and that notice Of
the meeting of such convention or
caucuses shall be given in the
usual manner. The Chairmen Of
the several County Committees
are requested to see that said
notices are properly given, and
that the county conventions are
called to elect delegates to the
state convention in accordance
with the foregoing.
AS the State Central Committee
acts as the Committee on Creden-
tials, it is requested that credentials
Of delegates elected, duly certified
by Chairman and Secretary Of
County Convention, be forwarded
to the Secretary at Republican
State Central Committee Head
quarters in Milwaukee, immediate
| ly upon their election; in all cases
giving the names in full and post
office addresses.
JOHN M. EWING, VIM. A. JONES,
Secretary. Chairman.
Wood county is entitled to
seven delegates, and good repre-
sentative men should be sent. Not
necessarily professional politicians
who have served an apprenticeship,
but good men.

At Washington the attempt to cut
down the wages Of the women employed
in repairing the mail sacks has aroused
a storm of Indignation. "These women
have the most unwholesome, repulsive
and i'll paid work that Uncle Sam has
to dispense" says The Woman's Trib-
une. 1t is as much as a person accus-
toned to breathe pure air can do to per-
form an errand at the back part Of the
postoffice where these filthy mail sacks
are in use. But women work over them
at piece work, and can earn but from
so to 60 cents a day. Yet when there is
an attempt to reduce the price. women
complaining are told by the authorities
that If they do not care TO work at the
price they need not, as there are plenty
Of others who would be glad Of the op-
portunity." Senator Call has introduced
resolution to pat the women on daily
wages.

The time has passed when mine prop
critics are bought On assays. The higher
the ore goes the more suspicious the in
weston becomes. A mining proposition,
to receive attention in these days. must
have reasonable assay value, and must
stand the test Of expert examination. A
low grade camp, it is said, is better in
the long run for the mine owner, and
infinitely better for a community in
which such mines are situated, as more
men are employed and more money is
taken out than in camps where the
mines are narrow and rich. This is
shown in the Cpur d'Alenes, where
over 10000 tons Of ore are mined
monthly to produce 10000 tons of con-
centrates. Every one is benefited where
such conditions prevail
Mine investors have become suspicious
because in the past they have been most
numerically worked by unscrupulous
mining men and promoters. Mine ex.
porting has become a science, and 1t Is
a difficult thing to improve upon mine

CHAMP cLARk,s STORY
How 1t Impressed Younester Who Heard

In the Garfield Hancock campaign
there was big Democratic meeting at
a certain place in ST. Charles county, in
this state A number Of distinguished
Democratic speakers were there, and
we had day Of it. The writer was then
a small child, bot one Of the speakers
made very profound impression upon
his mind. The speaker was no other
than Champ Clark.
No one asks now, "Who was Champ
Clark" but then he was a new star in

leaders At any rate was tired, but my
mother whispered:
There is only one more speech,
and was much relieved. A blond young
man was introduced as Champ Clark Of
Pike county. He came forward with a
pleasant face and manner that at once
attracted my attention. He began in
this way:
g am reminded Of the boy who kill
ed possum and expected to enjoy a
possum dinner the next day. The fam
lily was about to sit down to the dinner
table when a wagon drove up and a
neighbours family came in. The head
Of the house announced that the visitors
had come to dinner. There was no room
at the table for our young friend, the
sportman, and ne waited. with his eyes
anxiously fixed on the dish Of postum.
The guests had good appetites. Finally
there was only one piece Of possum
left, and one of his own family took
that. Then the possum lover busted
right out a-crying. The disappointment
was too much for him.

heard the first speech, l thought, we'll
that is pretty bad. but still have some
thing left to say. Then there came the
next speech, and the next, and when the
last speaker finished l just busted right
out a-crCing. because there was not an.
other thing left for me to say.
But there was. and he said it too

This may be the era Of the new wom-

politics and science. and ignoring all
pretty feminine fads. but one would not
suppose her reign an entirely compre-
hensive one to read all the literature OF
fashion that is being published. and
not only published. but read with avidi-
ty. Perhaps the new woman herself
has been unable to eliminate wholly
from her complex and superior being
the fond. trivial records Of toilets,
gowns, textures and trimmings and can
not resist an indulgence more or less
secret in the same. At any rate. there
has been no time when women general

means a poor nervous condition, and
prolonged insomnia leads in every case
to prostration. and too often to dread
insanity. The mischief that results
from weakened nerves is much greater
and more destructive than most folks

strokes Of the clock, every sleepless
night is an eternity. Mrs. ]. A Sam
pie of 1858 Broadway. New York

due to indigestion. Here is what Mrs
