THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1898.
No debasement Of the currency,
should be the watchword.

Mr.. Ellis B. Usher, editor OF The
La Crosse Chronicle, and chairman
of the national democratic state CEN
trail committee, recently sent a circu-
lar letter to many Democrats of Wis
consin who have been prominent in
party councils, requesting them to give
for publication, their views concern
ing Democratic duty and prospects In
Wisconsin, for 1893. The letters In
response to Mr.. Usher's circular were
printed in The Lacrosse Morning
Chronicle OF Sunday, January 30, and
their number show that the carrying
out of the idea was II big stroke OF
journalistic enterprise on the part OF
the editor OF The Chronicle. All OF
the letters were earnest in tone and
concilatory in spirit.
There are letters from Silver Demo-
Gratis and from Gold Democrats, and
while many of the writers are anxious
to join forces upon state issues, 1t Is
apparent that no union can be
brought about SO long AZ the decla-
rations of the Chicago platform are
permitted to stand and free silver
made the shibbolcth of the Demo-
cratic party.

Fifth In the Course

pfOt. JOhn Is. Dem Otte Will lecture
at opera hall, on Thursday evening,
February 10, under the auspices OF
the Woman's Reading Club. The
press speaks of his lectures in the
highest terms of praise:
THE peerless lecturer, Prof. John
b. DeMotte, entertained an apprecia-
tive audience at the Temple Opera
House last evening, with his celebrat-
ed lecture on, The Harp of the
Senses; or the Secret of Character
Building - Evening News, Matches
Miss.
The Period, Dallas, Texas: Any
one hearing him speak could not fail
to receive both pleasure and profit.
While his lectures benefit all ages,
they are of special interest to young
people. A life which has for its
motto, -" Hinder Nobody, Help Every
body" has an ennobling influence
over all with whom he comes in con-
tact, and there was not one soul who
heard him but must be better and
nobler for the experience
Mr.. Henry Grady, editorially in
The Atlanta Constitutions: There is
no use talking about it, Professor De
Motto is the most scientific and highly
entertaining lecturer on the platform
of today. The information that one
will gain from his lectures is worth
anybody's travel of five hundred
miles"
Evening Leader, Carlisle, Pa: " As
DR.. DeMotte leaves Carlisle, he may
be assured that he has left a name and
fame behind him which will not soon
be forgotten"
Daily, Bethlehem, Pa: " He is a
very magnetic speaker, has an almost
perfect knowledge of natures laws
and the human organism, and weaves
the most striking illustrations into his
talk. AS he had been here before, the
mere statement that he was to speak
filled Grace Lutheran Church, b., to
Overlooking, and it is safe to say
everyone who heard him was delighted
and benefited
Omaha Bee: Last nights lecture
by Prof. DeMotte was another enthus-
iastic success for that prince of lectur-
ers. There is no man on the Chautau-
qua platform who can SO pleasingly
bring science down to the comprehen-
sion of u boy
Pana Evening Palladium: Suffice
to say it was one of the finest and
most instructive lectures we have ever
listened to anywhere, and was worth
thrice the price of admission"

The Sentiners Reduced Price.

The Milwaukee Sentinel announces
quite reduction in its subscription
prices. Hereafter regular subscribers
can have The Daily Sentinel delivered
for II cents week, or the Daily and
Sunday Sentinel for Is cents week.
This reduction in price will not
mean any deterioration of The Senti-
mel as newspaper. With the recent
installation in its press rooms OF a
fine threc-declxer Gross printing
press and other improvements. The
Sentinels mechanical equipment has
been made far superior to that OF any
other newspaper in Wisconsin. The
Sentinel will continue to be the repre-
sentative newspaper OF Wisconsin
and to give its readers at all times all
the news, local, state, national and
foreign. 1t will continue to avoid
the sensationalism of the socalled
yellow style, which is now being fol-
lowed by so many newspapers which
call themselves family papers. y
For several years The Sentinel has
excluded from it's columns medical adj
vertiscmcnts of an immoral character,
which offer n large source OF revenue
to many Of these 80 styled family
paDersn and 1t has been gratifying to
note that its policy in this respect has
been appreciated by all those who
scrutinize the demoralizing literature
that Is placed in the home and within
the reach Of the young.
The oldest and best Wisconsin
newspaper will now be sold at u
price that will place il within the
reach OF all. The Sentinel, in its
state news department especially, will
be strengthened. 1t will continue to
be not only the best state newspaper,
but the best suited for home and Office,
store and the factory-clean in its
news and advertising columns and the
cheapest newspaper, all things CON
sidered, In the territory in which it
circulates.
Mr.. X. M. Crawford is local news
agent for The Milwaukee Sentinel,
and will deliver it Mt above reduced
prices.

Orchestra. of Chicago. The program
was "A delightful one, and the music
far surpassed anythind ever heard in
the city Of q like character. Each and
every member of the orchestra is a
musician of the very highest rank,
and encores were numerous.
Freeport Bulletin The Salisbury

Dell Greek Farmers Club.

At our last writing we had pulled
out of Reedsburg, the engine giving
an extra whistle to Indicate that it
carried member of the club. We
followed the Baraboo River or rather
the river followed us. The Baraboo
is Il wide awake river, but the railway
company does not schedule its trains
by its current, though it takes good
deal of current funds to ride.
Our first stop was at Ableman.
Sank county boasts u good many
ablewomen, but when it comes to nam
ing towns they forget to name any of
them ablewoman,
This little village is such Il place as
artists picture and poets write about,
but It's own people are engaged in
digging living out of its granite
hills. We, up on Dell Creek, often
wake up wondering if Fourth of July
has come, or whether Ableman is
blasting again If we had to live in
Ableman we should write poetry Sun
days and strike u job in the quaries
weekdays.
The train found u hole to crawl out
somewhere and We soon came to North
Freedom. Tho clubs professor of
ancient history tells MS the place was
once called liessemer city. 1t seems
that the hills began to raise bcsscmer
steel along with their oaks and
naples and the people of the place
would have changed but for being too
tender hearted to destroy the living of
our iron miners. They did very
right. Sank county has II good name
for its poland china pigs, SO let some
one else produce the pig iron.
AS we left this place we began to
wonder IL we could be near the place
we call Baraboo, where the county
provides refreshments for the slothful,
and offices for the Industrious.
We shall try to say something of
Baraboo in our next aud when we
go down there us sheriff we can say
II always said You We're nice town
to be sheriff in" SEC.
