Weaver-1eunier.

A quiet wedding ceremony, an
nouncement of which was received
with more or less surprise by the many
acquaintance of the contracting
parties in our cities, occurred at the
home of Mr.. E. Meunier in Centralia
Sunday afternoon. In prettily
decorated parlors and surrounded by
relatives and a few friends, Mr.. Earl
Weaver and Miss Louise Meunier were
joined in holy wedlock at o'clock by
Rev. J. R. Reynolds, pastor of the NJ.
E. Church. Miss Anna Meunier, sister
of the bride, and Mr.. F. A. Weaver,
brother of the groom assisted at the
marriage altar as witnesses. Words of
congratulation, good cheer and merri-
ment followed the nuptial service until
all were seated to bounteous wedding
supper, after which the pleasure max
ing was renewed and the little company
made things lively for the newly
married for few hours. Mr.. and Mrs.
Weaver had planned to take the even
ing train south out of the city, but their
friends were one too many for them
and so they remained in Centralia until
Wednesday, departing on that day for
their future home at Rhinelander,
Wis.
Mr.. Earl Weaver, will be remembered
as former clerk in Johnson, Hill & Co.'S
dry goods store, Centralia He is now
employed in a similar capacity for
Spaford, Cole & Lipke at Rhinelander.
Miss Meunier is pretty Centralia girl,
born and bred in the city OF her
marriage. We join the many friends in
extending congratulations and compli

Ella MaIy's r1urderess is Pardoned
by Governor Upham at the
Eleventh Hour.

Richland Rustic Rose Zoldoske is
free to 90 where she will and repeat
her hellish crime. The last official act
of Coy. Upham was to pardon the
murderess of Ella Maly, and prove
Rose Zoldoske true prophecies, for
she said before entering prison doors
that she would be pardoned.
The news of the pardon, received
here shortly after noon Monday, Gre
ated some excitement and much un-
favorable comment, and it was easily
to be seen that the sentiment of the
people as to the guilt of Rose Zoldoske
had not changed in the least in the six
years since the terrible crime was
committed, and when the people
through the county heard of the pardon
they were bitter in their denunciation
of Upham and the scheming, unprin-
cipled politicians who haye controlled
him. The unftness of the man for
the position he has occupied as gov
ernor, pointed out plainly before his
election, has been most forcibly real
lied, and his former supporters and
morally influential Republicans in this
county have only words of condemna-
.ion for him. 1t is looked upon here as
a cowardly act, rather than a generous,
merciful one, coming as it did at the
very close of the governors administra-
ton. His reasons for granting the
pardon are we'll known and are none
other than those which actuated him in
granting the pardon of the despicable
Mark Barnum, now in the state
legislature Of Wiscons1n-the influence
of politicians, and maudlin sentimental
ism developed by false reports which
colored everything in favor of the
murderess at the time of her trial
Gov. Upham's act and his excuse for
granting the pardon are given a
terrible arraignment by Judge Clement
son.

Facts About a New County.

Wausau Pilot: Again is the cry for a
new county heard in the land, and
the valiant sons of Marshfield, Colby,
Spencer and other western hamlets, are
preparing to give battle. 1t is proposed,
as usual, to take off tier Of the western
towns Of Marathon county, to help
make up enough territory for the new
county. Well, it is pretty certain that
the people Of old Marathon will have
something to say about cutting off that
slice. This fight has been on, regularly,
every session of the legislature for the
past eight or ten years but our repre-
sentatives have always managed to
push 1t aside without any trouble
Assemblymen Plisch and Werheim did
praiseworthY work in killing this move
two years ago, and this year, with two
such eloquent men as NJ. II. Barnum
and HI. NJ. Thompson, surely there
ought not to be any trouble on that
score. Time will tell.
Marshfeld, Wis, Jan. 19.-It is un-
6erstood that the proposition Of form
ing a new county with MaTshtield as a
county seat will again be brought up
before the new state legislature. The
old legislature wrestled with this
proposition year or two ago, but it
was killed for the time being. The
plan is as follows: A portion of each
thon, and Clark is to be sliced off, and
then spliced together with Marshfeld
as a county seat. Of course, the
majority of the citizens in this city
would like to see the bill carried, and
should Marshfield become a county
seat, its population would increase.
The following contemplated improve
ments will greatly benefit Marshfeld; !;
The new county; the extension of the
Marshfeld & Southeastern road to
Princeton; the building Of the Wiscon
sin Central road from Chippewa Falls
to the Greenwood spur and last but not
least, the advent of beet sugar
factory.
The last article which issues from
Marshfeld is accepted with a great
deal of allowance by the people resid-
ing in Wood county. The facts are,
that only few professional spectators
and politicians residing in the city Of
Marshfeld are in favor Of new county.
The people in Wood, Marathon and
Clark counties who pay the taxes are
not in favor of new scheme which
would add extra burdens upon them
for the only qualification of a few
spectators and politicians in the city of
Marshfeld. 1t will never work, and
the members Of the present legislature
will not force a condition upon the
people of said counties when their
representatives there are opposed to
the change.

The Survival of the Fittcst

The Free-Traders tell us that under
Free-Trade there would be the free
working Of natures law and that it
Wonld be the ''survival of the tittest."
If they knew little more about what
"survival of the fittest" means, they
would not talk so much about it. 1t
means the survival Of the one who best
fits into existing conditions, not the one
fittest to survive because of superior
qualities. The Chinaman who eats rats
and mice and lives in filth and sGualOr
can survive under conditions which
would kill an American, who is the
product of a higher civilization and who
requires comfort and cleanliness for his
body and food for his mind as well. It
is evident that q Chinaman could live
more cheaply than an American. And
in the unrestricted competition for
cheap labor, the Chiraman would come
out ahead every time. He is the one
who would survive. 1t would be the
survival of the one fttest to endure the
most evil conditions. This is just what
Free-Trade means. 1t means literally
unrestricted competition between the
labor of American WOrkmen and the
labor of the men who represent the
lowest civilization on earth. What the
result would be is obvious. The Ameri-
can people want none Of it.

JOHN c. SPOONER'S SPEECH.
the N0mination-A Beauti=
full and Strong Address.

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Caucus: 1t has been made known to
me by your committee that you have
been pleased to nominate me by an
unanimous vote as the republican can
didate for senator Of the United States
1t is now twelve years since | received
from similar caucus a nomination for
the same great office. [ thought then
that there would never come to me
again so rich an honor. Looking back
ward, from the stand point Of tonight, |
was mistaken. That which you have
by your action conferred upon me
seems now to me infinitely higher. 1t
came to me then out of contest, albeit
friendly and courteous one, with a
noble and chivalrous gentleman whose
splendid service and sacrifice for this
commonwealth and for the republic,
both at home and beyond the sea, en-
deared him to our people while he was
living, and, now that he has passed
away, have made forever precious and
fragrant his memory.
1t comes to me at your hands with an
unanimity which renders itquite unique,
all things considered. It's added sig
ni6cance and value to me lies in the
fact that by your action the world is
undisputedly given to know that my
retirement from the senate in 1891, and
my defeat in the sacrifclal fight which
by party command [ had honor to lead

Wisconsin Central Short Cut.

The Chippewa Falls Herald is au-
thority for the statement that the Wis
consin Central company is preparing to
push through its project of shortening
the distance to st. Paul and will carry
out the plan contemplated year ago as
soon as spring opens the ground to road
building. Receiver Whitcomb made
this announcement last Thursday at
Chippewa Falls, and ordered the road
masters of that division to have his
scrapers and other implements in order
for the beginning Of work in the spring
The plan contemplated by the Central
means the construction of new tracks
from Bateman station near Chippewa
Falls, to Glenwood, which is now
touched by spur of the Central road
a distance of about forty miles. This
will cut off the immense curve to
Abbottsford and lessen the distance
from Chicago to st. Paul by about fifty
miles. The saving in distance is an
important feature to the Central as it
will make it practically the shortest
route between the twin cities and
Chicago.
The Central is making eparations to
improve It's rolling stock and it is said
that six mammoth new engines such as
are in use on the Omaha system have
been ordered and will be used next
summer for the first time 1t is the in
tention of the company to make
increased efforts to secure more
passenger business and it intends to do
everything that can be done under
existing circumstances to improve its
passenger service.
