JUDGE SHISSLER'S POSITION.

Judge Ira p. Shissler's name has
been mentioned for congress, and he
has received much favorable notice
His numerous friends would like to
see him thus honored, believing that
he would make an able representa-
tive. When asked to state his position
in regard to the matter this afternoon,
he said TO the FREE PRESS: II really
don't care to say anything, l have not
considered the matter at all, and
know nothing about this talk. l am
for McCleary, always have been, and
will be. Still, if the improbable
should happen, and it should occur
that Mr.. McCleary could not receive
the nomination, my friends would
have authority to bring my name for
ward if they thought best. l would
like to see the office held by Manka-
to man, in any event."

THE NORMAL PLAY.

One of the successful features of the
Normal commencement week has al
ways been the play given by the stu
dents. This year promises to be nc
exception to the rule.
The graduating class have the play
in charge and some exceptional talent
has been developed. The play to be
presented is Oliver Goldsmith's most
successful comedy "She Stops to
Conquer" This is a classical play
and is full Of interest from start to
finish. Nearly every English writer
since Shakespeare has been ambitious
to write a play, yet the one by Gold
smith is one Of the very few which
have retained their popularity until
the present time and still hold a high
place on the stage. The members OF
the cast have been practicing for
several months under the direction of
Miss Pendergast who is especially
prepared for such work. The play
will be given in the opera house
Wednesday evening, May 9th.

DEPOT ENTERED.
The Milwaukee Broken Into, Also
Two Loaded Box Cars.

Monday some one or more parties
broke into the Milwaukee depot, and
also into two box cars, breaking the
seals. Agent Moore says that thor
ough search failed to reveal anything
missing, and evidently the prowlers
did not find that for which they were
looking. 1t is thought that it was
the work of tramps, and is another
reason why something should be done
by the city council toward providing
a place whereby those who are cap.
tured can be set to breaking stone.

In every human being there are two
openings one on each.side of the lower
parts of the abdomen called ''lnguinal
Rings" through which passes the
Spermatic Cords or Fallopian Tubes.
and are formed by the muscles and
ligamentS. When they fit close around
the cord it is an imposSibility for any
one to have Rupture. But when,
from any cause, these muscles become
relaxed from and the opening too large
all that prevents the intestines from
coming out is the lining membrane or
peritoneum, and severe strain, cough
or sneeze. will force them out, when it
is called Inguinal hernia, and if it fol-
lows the cord down into the scrotum,
it is called scrotal hernia. There it
will be seen there is nothing torn or
rent. but simply relaxed muscles and
a strained membrane.
Our theory of cure is to retain the
membrane aud inteStineS with the alb
dominal cavity and develop the mus

by closing the ''rings" and making

Landlord Snow had provided an
elegant menu, which was served in a
most satisfactory manner and was
greatly enjoyed. Everything in this
line reflected great credit on Mr..
Snow, vino throughout the entire
evening left nothing undone that
would add to the pleasure or comfort
of those present and all were pleased.
Following is the menu:
Bullion in Cups

Broiled White Fish, Tartar Sauce
Potatoes Chateau, Sliced Cucumbers
Fillet of Beef, Larded Mushrooms

Handsome folders containing the
menu and program of the 'Pow-wow, J"
also the list of club membership and
various committees were furnished.
After the banquet, "the poW-wOw"
began. Gen. E. NJ. Pope, the retiring
president of the club, presided and in
few happy words introduced DR..
Cleveland as postmaster With
things in the hand of this "adept at
the art" of club life, all went smooth
ly and Wittily, with occasionally sar-
castle vein manifesting itself in
appropriate phase and humorous Incl
dent. Each response was preceded
by few happy remarks. The respon-
SEES averaged well, perhaps we should
say, were above the average. Mr.. w.
E. Young started off with ''Soup-The
Lawyer and his Clients Destiny"
He proved his right to have this
toast by nicely eXTicating himself
from the "soup" into which the toast
master plunged him.
''The club focused by the X rays"
was carefully, scientifically, occasion
ally humorously handled by Prof. U.
O. Cox, as he turned the Horoscope
on to each member and worded his
intellectual and anatomical ingredi-
entS.
Rev. H. f. Waring interspersed
his exdellent response with pointed
and humorous incidents made his
points that "The way tn write club
essay" was to put into it "brains,"
substantial matter" application, /"
'tudy;" reflection" Thought"
DR.. J. A. Hielscher came next with
"Some Hypnotic suggestions. On
the theory that one can hypnotic
himself, the doctor showed how he
could persuade himself to believe
things had been said that never had
been uttered. And by the practical
strain of his words, came near hypno-
tizing the available young ladies that
were present.
| ''The Sweets of Life-The Ladies"
was very appropriately responded to
by Mr.. f. NJ Currier, who proved his
fitness for the toast by the little
sentimentality, and the abundant
common sense he uttered.
After the POSTMASTER had mar
shaded his forces through on time and
in happy vein, he withdrew for the
president to pronounce "The Pope's
benediction," in few well chosen
| words, then introduced the new presi-
dent, Prof. G. f. K9hler, who
acknowledged the honor conferred,
and then adjourned the most success.
full banquet the club has ever held.
Much credit is due to the committee
on arrangements consisting of MessrS.
Geo. T. Barr, j. w. Andrews and G.
HI. Higgs, for the perfect manner in
which all arrangements were made,
which lent much to the pleasure of
the occasion.

Struck it Right.

He was an old man. One hand held
an umbrella, the other clutched a bundle
of newspapers. AS he stepped off the
curb ct Madison avenue and Thirtieth
street a knickerbockered young woman
on a wheel rounded the corner at an
acute angle. A confused heap of age,
youth and bicycle. with youth and beau
ty on top, resulted. A crowd gathered
Youth VI needing s no assistance. Is soon
as the old man recovered from the shock
he turned toward the mannish young
woman and in excited tones exclaimed:
You're no gentleman! You're no gem
tleman, sirr' The young woman apollo
gized. and the old man gazed upon her
in beWildered astonishment. "Why-er
you don't mean to tell me that you're

and the old gentleman cooled off and
smilingly replied: .'Well, must insist
Oh my first assertion, that you are no

Scratched Society.

Stories concerning the dead nitrate
king are thick in London newspapers,
and they show him as man of kindly
heart and of healthful humor For ex-
ample, at an agricultural society's meet
ing the king of nitrates' was charged
with the duty of delivering the prize-a
pair Of corduroy breeches worth two
and sixpence''-to the rude swain who
had lived longest under servitude to one
master on wage of thirteen shillings
1925 a week. The particular Hodge
who won the breeches had served the
same squire for forty years. 'How's
the missus?'' asked the COLOMBIAN ma
bob. ANY kids?' he interjected. "Ten
alive and three dead" was the answer.
and you've brought up all that lot on
thirteen bob week, and the best they
can do by way of testifying their appre-
citation of your services to the country
is to give you a pair of cotton corduroy
breeches? You Just hand 'em back to
me-" The faithful servitor'' sadly re-
signed the brooches. The man of nit
rates moved his hand to and from his
own pockets and those of the corduroys,
and presently, handing the garment back,
he said: There's tenner $3.50 in one
pocket for yourself, and a flyer $500 in
another for the missus, and there's six
teen bob in the fob for the kids so
ciety" applauded the king but the
king" had scratched the veneer of So
ciety's charity" pretty badly.

How to SIeep Well.

Want of sleep is engendered to great
extent by the over-activity. of the brain
at night Many people say that night is
their best time for work, and thus spend
the early part of the day, when the
brain is freshest, in idleness, and at night
do their work. Working the brain until
just before retiring to bed is with many
utterly fatal to thorough rest. The
over-wrought and tired brain cannot
throw off the thoughts caused by the
work, and on laying down in bed they
return with what appears to be greater
intensity, and thus sleep is banished
1t is a very good plan to stop brainwork
at fixed hour before retiring and then
to indulge in some recreation in the way
of games or light reading. such as news
papers, periodicals., novels. etc.

Too Much Honor.

After the Duke of Wellington's VIC

his principal officers by comforting upon
them the honorary and not very appro-

At that time the fees We're heavy, and
one of the distinguished soldiers, who
had gathered more honor than profit
in the wars. declined the proffered degree
