m. w. A. DANCE.

The largest crowd which ever gath
cred in this city to trip the light fam
tastic toe, was that at the Modern
WOOdmen's dance ut the Skating
Rink last night. There was fully one
hundred couples present and the large
Rink, which was beautifully decora-
ted, was jammed to it's utmost capaci-
ty. At exactly twelve o'clock. the
floor was cleared and the spread laid
for two hundred and twenty five per-
sons, and the merry dancers sat down
to q supper fit sor y King" After
every person had done justice to the
many good things on the tables, the
spread was drawn and dancing was
INDUCED in until the "wee small hours
of the morning." The music was the
best that could be procured and every
body who attended were loud in tlaeil'
praises of the management, and OF the
wives OF TIL: members tor the excellent
supper, and proclaim it to Ice the
grandest social event ever held in the
city. Among those outside of the
city who attended, We're Mr.. and Mrs,
Harve Seileck af Minoeqna, AIr. and
Mrs. Cash Smith of Rhinelander, Mrs
Singler of Watersmeet. Mrs. L. j.
Cody Of Three Lakes and Jos. Elliott
of Arhor Vitae.
We take the following from Prin-
ters Ink of April /. This journal sell
dom has any thing to say on the pos,ti-
cal questions but when they do it is
right to the point. The following
hits the nail square on the head.
The time has come for Il movement
on the part of all men, whether en-
gagged in farming, manufacture or
trade, who are interested in CONNER
cial prosperity in the United States,
to remove from political agitation
the question of the permanence OF the
standard of value upon which all OF the
business in this country is transacted
There should be all unequivocal dec
laratio by the political conventions
of both of the great parties in favor OF
the maintenance of our existing stan
dard and of the elimination Of al
doubtful expressions in respect to tha
reopening of the minis OF the United
States to the free coinage OF silver.
The time is past for any hating
doubtful phrasing to express the mean
ing of political parties upon this i'm
portant subject. We should have nc
platforms that can be Interpreted tt
mean one thing in one part OF the land
and another thing in another part O
OF the land. 1t is important to every
business man, producer and wage
Garner to put Il stop to the enormous
cost to the Government, and to all o
our people, resulting from the contin
uance of the agitation in favor Of the
free coinage of silver, which stands II
the way OF revival of confidence anc
national besiness prosperity.

against the champion. He has been
playing steadily, and says he Is in good
form. He and Clearwater will continue
to practice amicably, on the same table.
until the opening of the game, next
Thursday night.
There has been some misunderstand-
ing about the backing of Clearwater in
this match. This grew out Of the fact
that the purse is being given by Harry
Davis. Mr.. Davis. or his representa-
tives. have nothing to do with the back
ing, however Charles Alum. who has
been behind Clearwater ever since he
began to play in public, said last night
that he is backing Clearwater still. and
continues willing to back him against
any man in the world. He does not
under-rate Keogh. Of whom he declares
that he will give Clearwater a hard run,
but he has lost nothing Of his faith in
Clearwater's ability to >eet anybody,
