CALUMET CLUB REPLIES.
They Deny Charges Made Against Them
by "A Citizen.

Mr.. EDITOR-In reply to that insult
thrown at the Calumet Pleasure club
again, we wish to say few words of
interest to the residents of Washington
Island; also to pedestrians and all
others. This club has young men Of
81 years of age, the same as all other
clubs have; and is run in a good way.
It has no criminals as was stated a few
days ago. This club is composed of
men who all work, and have good Jobs,
and don't need to line up on the bridge
at night to hold up or insult pedes-
trians. What is more they never drink
and make life burden to anyone.
The members have too much respect
for themselves as we'll as for others.
Now that hold up on Labor day should
not be attributed to this club, or any
of it's members. There were hundreds
of people on the island that day, and
it seems very strange that it should
have been committed by this club. or
it's members, which is not true. The
members of the Calumet club have
respect, and propose to keep it so.
Residents of Washington Island have
no fear of being held up by the mem
bers of the Calumet club. Here is
another example, when that officer
was thrown down on the bridge as was
stated. That, too, is not true. In the
first place there was no ember of this
club present at that time. The object
of this club is like all others. To have
nice place to go to evenings, and be
out of the cold. Now, if some people
would only reason, and think and
remember their youth, then there
would be no more trouble.
We do not think it is right to try
and break up club where the mem
bers mind their own business, and don't
harm any one.

ance TO small House,
One of the finest performances ever
given in Kenosha was the production
of Islander" given, by Frederick
Warde and very competent company
at Rhode opera house Wednesday
night. As usual with fine productions
in this city, only a small crowd was
present. Mr.. Warde as " Islander"

and excellent stage appearance MAX
ing him typical representative OF the
romantic soldier Of the followers Of the
cross and crescent.
The stage setting was the most gor-
geous ever seen in Kenosha, the COM
pany carrying full carload of scenery.
When the curtain went up on each act
vigorous applause showed that the eff
forts OF the stage manager We're duly
appreciated. The company associated
with Mr.. Warde was very competent
and each member was worthy Of special
notice. 1t is a great Encouragement

The meeting of the Woman's club
Wednesday afternoon was one of the
most interesting meetings ever held by
the club. A paper on the life and work
of Burns was read by Miss Emily Bond,
after which Mrs Helen Nicol, who has
spent considerable time travelling about
the places in Scotland, made famous
by the poems of this famous Scotch
writer, gave several pleasing descrip-
tions of the nome and haunts of the
poet. Mrs. Nicol closed her part OF
the entertainment by reading several
of Burns most beautiful poems in the
original Scotch dialect After Mrs.
Nicols reading the ladies held very
interesting informal discussion.

Those who have had the first

sought relief and found only disappoint-

are only temporary, and cannot save
them from dreaded Consumption.

by a reporter and questioned in regard
TO Wyominx's appearance in the eyes OF
eastern and foreign investors. Says Mr..
de Augero: That Wyoming possesses
aboundant u only awaiting the
requisite capital for development is ap-
%preciated by all thinking men. During
the deplorable business panic this coun-
try has suffered and is now slowly re-
covering from, conservative men have
not sought opportunities to invest in
anything outside Of gilt-edge bonds and
firsL-class securities. The election Of
President Mckinley was the dawn of an
era OF prosperity for the western coun-
try. Wyoming. SO prominent among
the western states favoring the free sill
Yer movement, made a most creditable
showing by her staunch resistance to the
destructive craze so popular in the west
ern country at the time. BY her gallant
1ghe for Mckinley and sound money.
Wyoming has attracted the attention Of
all conservative men. Had the silver
craze met with success this western
country would lave been doomed to an
indefinite period Of commercial apathy.
Following the success Of sound
money, capital is seeking Investments.
The west, although II generally put up
a strenuous opposition to the cause will
reap much benefit from McKinley's cleo
ton, and Wyoming particularly will
have her boundless u investi-
gated.'-Sun-Leader.

been in Washington long. Consequent
ly the faces of the great men who are so
numerous here were not familiar to him.
One night the new reporter was sent 10
a meeting Of little importance at a
church some distance from the Office.
The only feature OF the meeting was
the speech Of a famous congressman,
which the new reporter was instructed
to get at length. He raj not a steno-
grapher, but determined to do his best.
He was late getting to the church, and
entered just as a MISUNDERSTANDING
man was in the opening paragraph Of
an address. In a moment the reporters
paper was out and he began to try and
keep track Of the speakers remarks.
Never before had his pencil travelled as
it did that night.
Page after page was filled with copi-
GUS notes and tossed on the seat beside
him and the perspiration was beginning
to pop out in beads on his forehead.
suddenly the speaker paused and re-
marked that he wanted once more to ex-
press his regret Gin not being able to
fill the place Of the distinguished gentle
man who was TO have addressed you"
The reporter gasped, looked wildly
around. and fairly Kissed in the ear Of a
man on his right: Isn't that Congress-
man Blank"
why, no." was the reply, in a tone
Of establishment, chats old man Binks,
one OF the deacons." The reporter grab
bed his hat and overcoat and dashed
out Of the door, leaving notes OF Deacon
Binks scattered all W. the floor. Just
before he arrived at the church a note
from the congressman had been read,
at which he announced his inability to
be present. and Deacon Binks had been
substituted.-Washington Post.
