able circumstances.

Congress, made four speeches in the
county to iarge and enthusiastic audi
ences. Tae first was made Thursday
evening On The Levels, wnicn is the
Republican stronghold of the county.
\ good meeting was he'd on short no
tice and the largest cub ever organized
a, that place was started off with en-
thus.asrc workers at its head. The
crowd was fairy wild with enthusiasm
and vigorously cheered every point
made by their candidate.
Tle following DAY free silver pole
was raised at Springfield, and at night
speeches were made by Mr.. Brown, Coz.
r. W. Monroe and W. B. Cornweu. An
other Bryan club was organized and
great enthusiasm prevailed.
On Saturday afternoon, large picnic
and tournament at Deiray, in the lower
end of the county, was converted into
political meeting, and again Mr. Brown

night at Capon Bridge. where another
rous.ng meeting was held. Col Sam

not particle of food can be purchased,
as it would be as much as a merchants
business is worth to sell to the company.
The wife Of a baker in the northwest
part of the city was so indiscreet as to
ride down town in one of the cars, and
since that time the bakeshop has been
free of customers. Some of the sympa-
thizers with the strikers go to great deal
of personal discomfort. Workmen who
have work to do several miles out of the
city will walk out in the morning and
back in the evening rather than patron
ize the street cars and their connections.
If the thing keeps up much longer any
one seen speaking to one Of the members
of the Board of Directors Of tie street car
company will be liable to have the boycott
placed on him. No one who has not come
in conflict with it can have any idea of
the strength of the grip which the strik-
ers and their sympathizers have on the
business of the city. Within day or two
several manufacturers were notified that
some of their employees had been seen rid
ing on the street cars, and IL this was re-
peated boycott would be placed on their
goods They needed the warning and
now see that their men either walk or
patronize the busses. Not a Thing can
the company buy In the city for the sub
sistence or comfort of the new men whom
they have to feed in the barns. Whole
sale grocery firms do not dare sell them
any supplies. The new men wanted some
washing done. The company gathered
up the soiled clothing and sent 1t to FIVE
different laundries and in each instance
It was refused. Finally it had to be sent
TO Chicago. The idea of the strikers and
their sympathizers Is to isolate the street
cars until the company comes to terms
and takes the old men back.

Governor. He was reelected in 1867
and 1860 and in 1872 was appointed con-
sui at Liverpool. In 1873 he left Liver
pool and was promoted to the position Of
consul general at Paris. Later he served
as minister to Spain. He returned to
Madison in 1882 and in 1886 was elected
department commander of the Wisconsin
Grand Army of the Republic and the next
year was made commander-in-chief Of
that body. He was married in 1864 and
leaves three daughters.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon, and the remains were inferred with
military pomp. Gov. Upham and his staff
participated, together with n provisional
regiment made up of the Light Horse
squadron and the First light battery of
Milwaukee and two companies from each

that the imperial mantle, with the collar,

COLISEUM NEARLY READY.
Everything Completed Save Painting
and Putting in Chairs.


In weeks time the Chicago Coliseum,
where the Democratic convention is to be
held, will be practically finished. Seven
ty-five painters are at work, and, with the
exception of mounting and distributing
the 10000 chairs, theirs is almost the
only uncompleted task about the build
ing. The arena in the center Of the
building, the dimensions of which are J50
x45O feet, will be merely leveled off for
Buffalo Bills purposes. a flooring in
sections has been constructed and can
be put in place in a few hours. For the
nptional Democratic convention the build
in, will be divided into two sections by
the means of a partition hung with bunt-
ing and national emblems. The conven-
ton hall will occupy the northern half Of
the building. There will be seating room
for 1900 persons, and the wide prone
made gallery running around the building
can either be used as such or be occupied
by seats. The southern half of the build
ing will be devoted to lobby rooms and d.
vided into committee rooms, retiring
quarters, a place for refreshments. etc.

field, he was captured and taken to Libby
prison, where he remained a captive for
four months. After his release he rejon-
ed his regiment at Brandy Station, but,
with broken health, was sent back to the
hospital at Washington. After the war
he re-entered the regular work of the min
istry and was stationed at Portsmouth,
o. In 1866 the Ohio conference called
him into the service of the Ohio Wes-
leyan University. In 1868 the board of

appointed to aid DR.. Kynett in building
up that cause. For sixteen years he trav-
eled through the length and breadth Of
the land and saw the work advance with
unexampled prosperity upon every side.
In 1884 he was reelected missionary Sec
retary. Through his matchless inspira-
ton and efforts a cry Of "a million for
MISSIONS" once prophecy, is now one
of the brightest facts in the history of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
