Since then every dollar has been az good
as gold. We are unsltersbly opposed to

We pledge ourselves to promote, and un-
I'll such agreement can be obtained the
existing gold standard must be preserv-

Senator Teller presented a plank for

but it was voted down by the committee.
Senator Cannon, OF Utah. argued for the
plank and shed tears, yea, salty. briny
tears, over the psrtv's unkept pledges to
the West, but it had no effect. Seeing
that persuasion was no good, they be-
gan to threaten and vowed they would
not continue to act with the party il it
adopted such platform, and still they
could gain nothing. At the morning

worlsi Erecting Framework for the Root
II Commenced Wednesday.

W. Adams Of Masquier & Jones, the
Contractors, with gang Of men, started
work, Wednesday, getting the iron pieces
for tn framework Of the roof ON the new
city building into shape for handling.
The trusses which rest upon the iron
posts are made up Of sections which will
have 20 be put together. After three OF
four Il these rrusses have been put up, the
Carpenters, who heretofore have been un-
able t do any work, will begin laying the
timbers and flooring for the hall ceiling.
Mr.. Adams said to journal reporter
This work Of putting up the framework
Of the roof, of course, should be done as
quickly as possible, and we shall use every
means for Fastening the work. In three
weeks expect to have the work COM
pleted, but am naturally somewhat de.
pendent upon the weather"
When asked about the construction Of
the ironwork, Mr.. Jones said: "There
will be seven trusses ACROSS the main
building, with two over the stairway
where the entrance to the hall is situated
These trusses have to be of great strength,
as they not only hold the roof and ceiling
but also the weight of the galleries. Fer
attached to the trusses will be iron rods,
reaching down to the galleries and hold
ing them. This is done to do away with
the necessity of having pests underneath
the balconies, thus taking up much space,
and Offering great Inconvenience.
Above the trusses there will be a sys-
TEN Of traces which will hold up the deck
Of the roof"
The total weight of the iron work is
about 10000 pounds, each Of the trusses
alone weighing 81 tons apiece.
The iron sections and braces are. being
transported from the cars to the building,
and by means of derricks hoisted to the
hall floor.
The walls Of the hall were, at the time
of Tuesdays blow, greatly exposed,
and 1t is due 10 their careful construction
that taere was no accident
Tho walls being pretty we'll along and
SO recently built made the situation
danger6,f. Herbert Foster of the con-
tracing FIRM, said: "Of course the walls
were VII built and would doubtless have
stood, sut to make doubly secure, had
watches them carefully, and securely
b'acea them with timber, in case any such
blow shluld come"

filing that famous and historic play

Handsome Buttons Can Now Be Utilized,
Be They Large or Small, Few or Many.
We have much to congratulate ourselves
on in regard to the fashions of tho day, for
without doubt thoy are becoming to most
women. But plenty of money and good
taste are necessary in carrying them out.
There is not, however, that distinct altera-
ton which precludes any hope of last
year raiment presenting a respectable APP
pearance. Sleeves may bNnlarged by in
Producing into the upper puff pointed
pieces between tho slashings, tho joints
forming either lap seams or being hidden
by narrow gallon. 1t is not necessary to
lattcn your sleeves, although good many
dressmakers insist that the fullness must
start well below tho point of the shoulder,
and some OF the Partisan models show in.
dication of this rather unbecoming style.
Those who have any old fashioned but
tons laid by should press them at once into
their service, be they few or many, for
they can be worn just at tho waist or on
pockets, bodices and sleeves.
Indeed largo and small, enamcled and
jewoSed, painted and inlaid, be tho button
what it may, it can hardly be out of place.

Eau Claire, Wis, Dec %.
Editors of Kennebsc journal:
Enclosed find order to pay for the
Weekly Journal from Sept. 1894 to Sept
1885. and also to pay one year from Sept
50 to Sept. 1896. This makes AZ years
that have paid for the Journal since
coming here from Maine in 1854. There
has been great changes throughout the
world since 1856. We then had no ocean
cables, no street car or electric motor
cables, and in very few cities only were
there any street cars running. No rail-
road was nearer this place than Prairie
DuChien and my way of rsa'ting this
place was by driving my horse and
buggy with my family from Maine,
reaching the Chippewa river which bor-
ders this place after two months drive.
Eau Claire was then little hamlet
with shanties only enough to house the
workers in two cheap saw milis) has now
become city with 10000 Inhabitants
and the banks of the Chippewa river have
furnished not less than twenty-five thous-
and million feet of pine timber to the
mills along its shores and the down river
mills and there is good deal of pine
timber left. There are no buildings here
now that were here in 1856 and so have
seen q city grow entire since ! came
here
c. c. Washburne then represented this
district in Congress and afterward it was
represented by Jere Rusk and 1t has been
constantly II Republican district ever
since and sometimes the only one in the
State though it come pretty near electiDg
the liberal Republican and Democratic
candidate (then in alliance) in 1879 on
the Greeley ticket, the writer being the
candidate. This may seem little egotis-
tical but we arc all more Or less tinctured
with that failing whether we admit it or
not. The winter thus far has been mild
with no snow till the night before Christ
mas when there was fall of six inches
which gives an impetus to logging in the
rineries. You may send me the New
York Tribune during 1896, (wsekly.)
