LOCAL CAMPAIGN.
JohnsOn's Folsom Others to
Be Held This Week.

At the meeting at Folsom on Tuesday
night. the largest political meeting they
have had there for many years, Hon.
John z. Butler spoke in glowing terms
of cOmmendation of the course of Con-
gressman Johnson, and exhorted all to
support him because he had made a
good Congressman and worked for the
people.
Mr.. Johnson spoke for two hours, re-
ceiving enthusiastic applause, made
many telling points. dissected the
speech made by De Vries, showed the
Inconsistencies existing, the false state
ments made regarding himself by the
Chairman of the De vries meeting and
closed with a. brilliant peroration in
favor Of the Republican party.
Mr.. Johnson always had many friends
in Folsom and he increased the number
and benefited himself and the whole
Republican party by his speech. He
paid a high compliment to the Repub-
lican county candidates and urged
everybody to support them.
Folsom is set down in the list for a
good Republican majority this year
The ladies Of the town had decorated
the opera-house in splendid style with
bouquets, wreaths Of flowers and gar
lands of Ivy.
Mr.. Johnson will speak at Oak Park
! tonight and Saturday night will close
bis campaign by addressing a meeting
| in this city.

candidates addressed a large meeting

road.
| On Friday night the candidates viii

REFUSED TO TESTIFY.
John Lambert Saves His Partner
Harry Wagner.

Because John Lambert refused to tes-
tify against Harry Wagner yesterday
in Judge Hinksons court, in the Po-
helm burglary case, there was nothing
for the District Attorney to do but ask
for his discharge.
Lambert's refusal to testify was based
on the ground that his testimony would
incriminate himself, yet he was only the
other day convicted of burglary in the
first degree and sentenced to five years
in the State Prison. His conviction was
secured mainly by a confession that he
had made, but which he subsequently
repudiated. Just how he could incrim-
mate himself any further in the matter
it is not easy to see.
In that confession Lambert told how
Wagner and one Kelly assisted him in
the raid on Poheim's store, but it seems
that without his testimony to corrob-
crate the confession Wagner's convic-
ton could not be secured.

Honored and breveted by the fiery
Sheridan, when, after his ride from
Winchester town, he came on the neiu
and found Captain Mckinley III the
storm Of the battle calmly rallying the
disordered troops and facing them to
the front.
General George Crook says: Il have
the honor to earnestly recommend cap
tain William Mckinley, Twenty-thlrd
Ohio Infantry, for appointment TO
| higher grade than his present rank Tor
bravery, gallantry, soldierly conduct
and distinguished services during the
campaigns of West Virginia and Shen-

aptly named him. forwarded the rec

the following Endorsement:
Headquarters Middle Military Dl-
vision, Feb. 1, 1S65.-Respectfull
forwarded to the Adjutant-General OF
the Army approved. The appointment
recommended is we'll deserved
! The recommendations of Generals
Crook and Sheridan were indorsed and
approved by Lieutenant-Gene Grant
and the Private Mckinley of 1861 came
home with the leaves of a Major on
his shoulder straps.
No wonder that now, thirty years
after the echo of the last gun has d1ed
away among the hills, and the smoke
| of the last battle has been lifted from
the valleys of our land that all the
| slories of the old days come V1v1dly
| back to the veterans when one OF their
own comrades is again in the 'front.'
With him they again get in line, touch
elbows, guide right" and march TO
victory, feeling that one who stood with
| them in the ranks in the fire of the bat
| tie, offering his life for his country,
can we'll be trusted to take command
and lead the republic to still more ex-
alted position among the nations of the
earth.
Hence the remarkable spectacle that
| we now witness of the old soldiers all
over the land spontaneously and unan-
imously uniting to elect their comrade,
! Private William Mckinley, soldier, hero
and statesman, to the highest honor in
the gift of the people, and it is most
gratifying also to observe that the
! former foes, ex-Confederate soldiers,
/ have by the thousands, voluntarily
! rendered to him their loyal support in

Cincinnati. Dec. There is about to
be a legal disturbance over q grave
yard contiguous to the tomb of ex-
President William H. Harrison. The
Harrison heirs claim that the cemetery
in question is their property and they
gave notice to the township trustees
that they will be held responsible If
they attempt any act of ownership.
1t is said that the Harrison heirs pro-
pose to remove to the vicinity of Har-
rison's tomb the remains Of John Cleves
Symmes and other historic occupants
OF the cemetery, and then sell the ceme-
terry for town lots, using the money
thus obtained to improve the resting
place of the distinguished dead. The
friends of other occupants of the
ground are opposed to the abandon
ment of the cemetery and will push
their objections into court if necessary.

Conclude to Go on with Two Associations,
as Heretofore.
Indianapolis, Dec. Glass manufac-
turers from all the states Of the Union
that manufacture glass met at the
Denisan House yesterday to see II
something can be done to reorganize
the trust and consolidate interests that
have been badly fractured. Under the
operations OF two associations prices
went up SO per cent. The large con-
Germs. 1t appears, were unable to control
the market entirely. because many
small concerns were In the market and
out Of the trusts. These sold under
trust prices. The matter was discussed
all morning and finally the idea Of Or
ganizing a single combination was
abandoned.
In the afternoon the glass manufac-
turers decided to tighten up the old
associations, have the Pittsburg and
Western associations work together,
though independently, and to hold
wages and prices at the same figures
as already agreed upon. and those that
have broken away will not be disci-
plined. Nor will they be asked to shut
down until the others start up. Today
the associations will consider several
plans for selling their product.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. Ia great
ice gorge. thirty feet high, has formed
across the Chippewa river below this
city. and last night farms and farm
buildings along six miles of the Chip
pewa valley were under water. The food
was being added to hourly at the rate
OF six inches. At o'clock last night
the Easements of all the buildings on
Spring street were flooded, and in some
instances the lower floors were under
water. People living in or occupying
business houses in the lower part Of
the city were hastily removing their
personal effects to higher ground.
Danger to Those Lower Down.
In 1894 a similar flood occurred, caus-
Ing a loss Of many thousands ofdollars.
A great deal of railway property is
threatened and many highway and
railway bridges will probably be swept
away. Below the immense gorge the
river Is practically dry, and when the
jam breaks the body of water in the
reservoir must carry destruction to the
valley below. Eau Claire has every
reason to feel apprehensive. as its dan
ger begins when that of Chippewa Falls
has passed.

Between the hours of and 10 a. m

there was temporary abatement. The
