Court House Site.

Mn. EDIToR:-Please accept my thanks
for allowing me TO answer the writer of
the article, Court House Site"
lie seems to harp on the theme of cold
in winter aud heat in summer.
Would it not be more pleasant in sum-
mer on the hill, where there is a gentle
breeze-pure air-and a good view of the
city; where, IL this site is graded, our
wives aud children can pass heated day
or evening; where you can 60 aud lounge
with paper or book and keep cool; but
put this building on the lots that my OPP
ponent want it, stuffed in narrow street
where no breath Of air slirs, where the
air is vitialed from out-houses OF the
ueigbb0ring buildings, and no view of
the town, where no one would care to 90.
unless they had business there.
As for the cold in winter. let the county
buy few more tons OF coal TO keep the
building heated. | have not in a single
Instance gone to the court house or county
court office in winter unless there was a
good fire there, and really too warm in the
room, so much so that felt uncomfortable

Jail for residence to private parties.

As for the brick for the foundation of
the court house costing more than on a
level lot is not SO. 1t will not take one
brick more, but the ground ON the higher
side will have to be dug to the level of the
lower side and the foundation be, started
on.a level. My opponent says this will
cost from nine to eleven-hundred dollars.
lie indeed will make wise, commissioner

way. But he knows better aud only wrote
this to catch those who knows no better

value of his lots, but he might sell them to
the county at fancy figures.
My contemporary winds up with saying
no selfish interest should predjudice any.

| don't own one foot OF ground that would
do for court house site, neither will l
furnish the county any material.
Ii the writer is so DISTINGUISHED in the
court house site. let him donate his, lots to
the county for the purpose of building a
court house and every one of st. Francis
citizens will say he is not selfish
| want the court house OH the hill for the
following reasons:
l. The site is owned by the county.
=. We can have park.
8. We can save money to the payer
by not buying another lot at fancy
figures.
4. 1t is the best place in summer
5. 1t was the choice OF two former
county courts.

the county.

Reviva1s After Panics.

The panic of 1857 was followed by a
religious revival that swept over the
entire country. The panic of 1872 was
followed by another remarkable revi-
val. Moody and Sankey's big meetings
in Chicago and other cities were held
at that time. The success that has at
tended Moody and Sankey's recent
meetings IN New York leads many to
believe that another widespread re-
vival is to follow the panic of 1898.

COOPER AFTER THEM.
He Scores Johnson. of California, on the
Pacific Roads Matter.


Representative FL. A. Cooper, of the
First Wisconsin district, warmed things
up in the house of representatives liz
Washington Friday. The matter under
discussion was the Pacific Railroad
funding bill. Rep. Johnson, of Call
fornia, had made a vigorous and vituper-
alive speech bringing personalities INTO
it. Mr.. Cooper scored the Californiamem-
Der numerically for having decended
to personalities in debating q public
question. The scene during Mr.
Cooper's speech was intense and he
was credited with having exercised ex-
cellent taste and Judgment in so
promptly rebuking the speech of the
California member.
The closing of Mr.. Cooper's remarks
was a general denunciation of the
operations of the Pacific railroads. He
said that the people of California had
been inundated and blackmailed by
the Pacific roads, and cited instances
from the testimony given before the
COulIlIIUCCS, Wu0ICllI bAO
had sought by intimidation to compel
the shipments of freight and the use
of their lines for passenger traffic, even
in opposition to steamship and other
modes of transportation. Mr.. Cooper
charged that the bonded Pacific roads
were built by the people and out
of the proceeds of lands and
bonds given by the government and
that the projectors of the enter
prise had not put dollar into them,
but had appropriated considerable
part of the moneys paid by the people
and had so manipulated the projects as
to enrich themselves at the expense of
the people. His argument was one of
the most interesting that have been
made against the Funding bill, but it
was lost sight of in the intense interest
awakened by his dramatic and severe
reply to Representative johnson. The
incident in the house is the subject of
general discussion in Washington.

CAUSES OF POVERTY.
Statistics Which Are Claimed to Have
Been Compiled in Scientific Way.

066A OUmp44Su III d 0C4SAU1nG w dys
Results of the investigation of 49,
900 cases of poverty in the United
States, England and Germany are given
in Prof. Amos G.. Warmers " American
Charities. The statistics in the work
have been compiled, it is claimed, in a
scientific way by trained investigators,
and assumes to give scientific analysis
Of the facts. Prof. Warmers tables
shows that the chief single cause of pow
erty is sickness or death in the families
of the poor. Lack of work stands Sec
ond, although if the averages as to the
lack Of work, insufficient work and
poorly paid work be added together,
he infers, lack of work forms the
supreme cause of poverty. Drink
stands third, though only one-half as
great a cause as unemployment. Says
Prof. Warner Probably nothing in
the tables of the cause of poverty, as
ascertained by cold counting, will more
surprise the average reader than the
fact that intemperance is held to be
the chief cause in only fifteenth to
fifth of the cases, and that where
an attempt is made to learn in how
many cases it has contributory infu-
ence it's presence cannot be traced at
all in more than 28.1 per cent Of the
oasns

The Paxton Record says that in a
certain Illinois town, the merchants
have custom of asking for bids on
every little job of printing they want
done. And in retaliation one of the
editors advertizes for bids on one sack of
flour, two pounds of coffee, two suits of
underwear, one granite coffee pot and
one pound of nails. He says he will
educate all the people of that place to
advertise when they want anything.
It's queer, but you will find fellows like
that in most every town.

evening, while the acting of nearly

Earnest Thomas wallis. Sr.
Mr.. Editor: - am not willing to let
the sudden death of Mr.. Thomas Wal
lis, ST., pass without recording the
high appreciation in which he was held
by my family and myself
He was in my employ for the last
few years of his life and more faith
full man / have not known. He never
shirked duty, never tried to tighten
his work; he had rather to be told not
to work so hard in times Of extreme
heat and cold. Whatever he did, he
did we'll, and only asked for oppor-
tunity to work. He felt his hands
were given him to labor and he had
no desire to be idle. With children,
animals, trees and plants he had the
same intimate relations that came from
a loving kindness for all of Gods
creatures and creations. To see him
tenderly handle the bushes and flowers
was great pleasure. He worked in
his own way, never by spurts, but seed
time and harvest found him always
ready. Respectful, yet dlgnlhed, ne
was one Of natures gentleman. [
never knew him to show anger except
once, when sighting remark was
made in my presence about his church
made in jest, but by him taken ser
iously-an which he resented in a
way that was admirable. He loved
his church and was as true christian
as | have ever known. His was a
character rarely seen, and We feel his
loss almost as one of our own family.
He digni6ed labor by his earnestness
md beauti6ed his life by his faith.
such man eXerts a silent influence
far more powerful than that of many a
better known man. His example will
bear fruit in time to come. He has
gone to reward he faithfully labored
for and richly deserves.

MAKES A FINE SHOWING.
What the Reports Will Show at ST.
Georges Church.

The officers of st. Georges church
are arranging their reports for the an
nual meeting of the society Sunday
evening. The books show that be-
sides paying all expenses for the past
year there has been nearly $1,000 paid
on the church's Indebtedness. Four
years ago, when Rev. Father Dreis
came here, the Indebtedness was
$13,5O0. At the end of 1896 it stood at
about 5000, as the reports will show.
That is certainly a fine showing for the
stewardship of the Rev. Father Dreis.
Paying off church debt at the rate
over 81, 900 per year is a record made
by very few churches.
