DEMAGOGUE.
JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES DELIVERS
AN INTERESTING LECTURE.
AN ELOQUENT soUTHERNER
He Holds Large Audience for Nearly
Two Hours With His Matchless
oratory and Eloquence-The Pol
itician and the Demagogue.

The third of a series of entertain
ments by the Park Avenue NJ. E.
church was given Monday evening at
the Rhode opera house.
John Temple Graves lectured on
i" The Reign of the Demagogue. He
was introduced by Rev Naylor, in a
few well chosen words. Mr.. Graves
introduced his lecture with the ques-
tion What shall young man do
with his life? and went on to state
that the present age, particularly in
the United States, was not scholarly
age, that men, or more properly speak
ing boys, launched into business and
politics at too young an age, and fur
Their stated that mere boys had all the
responsibility of large businesses on
their shoulders while yet too young to
leave their mothers. That money
seemed to be the main object in life Of
the majority of men.
Mr.. Graves described the demagOgue
in all walks of life, and said that he
always had existed and probably
always would exist. He likened the
demagogue to the barnacle which eats
away the foundation of great bulwarks
unseen, and great structures which
have witbstoOd all the weight and
strain of years, finally succumbs to the
little insignificant animal. He also
compared him to the little, dirty Eng
glish sparrow driving away the song
sters and plumaged birds.
Speaking of politics, the speaker
stated that it was much to be regretted
that the majority of politicians were
demagOgues. He stated that the evil
started in the precinct or ward with
the ward " heeler" or ward politician,
and spread, reaching higher and higher
until it at present infests the Congress
of the United States. But he was
pleased to see that education was
asserting itself, and the campaigns OF
education carried on during the past
three general elections had brought
forward the intelligent, independent
voter who would watch which eyer
party was in power and hold them tC
the right. Ignorance was the trouble
and education was what Was wanted.
Mr.. Graves spoke of the recent wal
with Spain, and believed that in
bringing all factions together, the
United States had been repaid for al
sorrows and costs OF the war. He paid
a glowing tribute to President Nc Kin
ley, with whom he is personally
acquainted, asserting that he was the
anthysis of demagogue.
The address was interspersed with
humorous anecdotes, and the language
classic and eloquent.

INSPECTED COMPANY E.

Captain Andrews of 5th U. S. Cavalry
Conducts Regular Review.
Company E of the Wisconsin Nation
al Guard had its first regular inspec-
ton last Saturday evening, and the
showing made by the new company
which is not yet a year old, was very
creditable one. The company fell il
line sixty men strong, and nearly all of
them well uniformed, and made a
splendid appearance.
The inspection was conducted by
Capt. Andrews, of the 9Th Q. S. Caval-
ry, and he paid Imany fattering COM
pliments to the company. After the
inspection, which was conducted in
true military style, Capt Andrews
stated that Company E was the largest
company be had inspected in the
state.
Since it's organiZatfon.in the time of
the war the,scompany has grown very
rapidly, and is now fairly we'll equipped.
Many changes have occurred in the
company, and many of the members
who originally enlisted have retired to
make room fori more stable men, until
now the company..ssconsists of many of
the best known young men OF the city.
The recent dance given by the COM
pany netted over $685. which was
sufficient to place the9 company on a
firm fnancials9basis The company is
still in need of a few uniforms, but the
splendid showing made at the inspec-
ton Saturday night will undoubtedly
cause the state to make some provision
for better equipment.

BROWNS IN TOWN.
Theatre Goers Enjoy an UP to Date
Farce.

Theatre Goers Enjoy an UP to Date
Farce.
Theatre goers in Kenosha were given
great treat on last Saturday evening
whs1 the up 10 date farce entitled,
Browns in Town." was given it's
first production on any stage at the
Rhode opera house. The novelty of
being first nighter evidently did not
appeal to the Kenosha people, and
much to their discredit only a fair
house greeted the best performance
ever given in the opera house.
Browns in Town" proved to be a
most delightful farce comedy, and
through it as a medium its author,
Mark E. Swan, will undoub tedly make
a great hit as tarceuer.5 From be-
ginning to end the piece is one contin-
ued RIM of pure and wholesome fun
mingled with musical numbers we'll
suited to the action of the play.
Every member of the company was
well chosen, but especial praise is due
to the author, Mark E. Swan, John
Lancaster, Kathryn Osterman and
Anna Belmont, who were the greatest
quartette of fun makers ever seen on
the stage at a local play house. Man
ager Rhode deserves great credit for
bringing to Kenosha such an excellent
company and it is greatly to be re-
gretted that the company were not
greeted by a packed house

The watermelon transformation scene
and cake walk in the last act of
" Money to Burn" which comes to
Rhodes opera house on Sunday, Dec.
IL, is without question the SWEETEST
bit of stage art that has been attempt
ed in years. The entire company take
part in this scene and the interest runs
high to see who wins the cake. Every
member tries very hard to be selected
as the winner, the audience being the
judges. The scenery for this act was
painted by the celebrated scenic artist,
Louis Kindt, who painted the cyclor-
amas of the battle of Lookout Noun
tain, siege of Vicksburg, the battle of
Atlanta and others. Seats are now on
sale at the usual place.

SEASON OF ADVENT.
Four Weeks Preceding the Christmas
Festival

Festival.
Sunday marked the close of the &C.
clesiastical year in the Catholic church
and the season of advent is now on. 1t
includes the tour Sundays preceding
the Christmas festival in commemOra-
ton of the 1000 years during which
the coming of Christ was looked for.
The prevailing color of the priestly
vestments are changed and they don
purple as sign of penance. Com
mencing yesterday there was slight
change in service in keeping with the
penitential time. During the season
the Gloria is omitted from the mass
and pensioners are expected to re-
fran from unseemly amusements, such
as dancing.

Gen. Joe Wheeler appeared before
the war Investigating committee at
Washington yesterday and gave his
testimony in regard to the Santiago
campaign. so far as he had anything
to do with it. He declared that
everything was done that could be
done and in discussing the plan of
campaign expressed his doubts as to
whether more effective plan could
have kbeen adopted. Referring to
the matter Of supplies, he said they
were ample in every particular, but
that the meat was poor. Whatever
shortage there may have. been was
only temporary and due to accident
In fact he said he had never heard Of
any shortage of cemmissary or ord
nance supplies at Santiago, but had
Eeen told that the medical supple s
were short, but had no personal
knowledge as to that. He stated
that so far as he was able to observe
the sick and wounded were well taken
care OF and none had died from want
of care. In the report as given in
last evenings papers, nothing in re-
gard to the camp. at Montauk had
been reached.

The story which comes of death
and destruction from fire in northern
Wisconsin is narrowing one. The
property loss will run into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. The
loss Of life has doubtless been large,
but to what extent Is not yet known.
and probably never will be fully.
Thousands and thousands of people
have been left homeless, and not only
that, but have lost everything they
ever possessed. With cold weather
almost at hand the outlook for them
is not pleasant one, and much out
side aid will have to be given to re-
lieve the distress that is sure to
follow. In the meantime the result
of the fire urges upon the public the
necessity of more carefully enforcing
every precaution possible against
forest fires everywhere and so pre-
venting the terrible results that
follow.

MILLER DISCHARGED.
No Evidence That he Robbed Lewis
Evans,

The examination of John Miller Jr.
on the charge of grand larceny in the
second degree was set for Wednes-
day Miller is the party charged. by
Lewis Evans with having gone
through his pockets and robbing him
OF Sl3, some ten days ago. County
Attorney Hughes has been looking
into the matter in the meantime, and
has come to the conclusion that,
while Evans was undoubtedly robbed,
there is little or no evidence pointing
toward Miller as the right party.
When the case was called
this morning in the municipal
court he accordingly moved
that it be dismissed, and this
was done. Mr.. Hughes did not feel
justi6eds under the circumstances, in
putting the county to the expense of
prosecution Of doubtful case.
The garnishee action which John
Miller Sr. started against Evans was
also dropped. as S25 in wages is ex-
empt under the law, and Evans has
but $l4.50 coming to him, while
Miller's claim is S12 so for money
loaned.

Senator Barr has received a letter

nouncing the death of his wife on the

TO RENTERS OF P. O. BOXES.

The postal laws and regulations re-
garding the duties of postmasters in
collecting box rents are very rigid.
No box can be assigned to the use of
any individual, family, firm, corpora
tion or public official until rent there
on has been paid in advance for one
quarter or the unexpired portion of
a quarter. The fourth quarter of the
year is now at hand, and if box rent
ers do not renew their rights tc boxes
in use by them by the payment of
rent thereon before the 10th day of
October it will be the duty of the
postmaster, in compliance with a re-
cent order of the postoffice depart
ment, to close their boxes against
them and place their mail in the gen.
eral delivery. "No exception to this
rule will be permitted" is the injunc-
tion placed upon the postmaster.
While this ruling is not new one,
it is often made somewhat elastic by
postmasters, and not infre quently
box holders are carried along for sew
eral weeks after the time limit for
collection has expired. This time.
and in order that those interested
may be fully advised of the determin-
alton of the postmaster to comply
strictly with the law governing his
duties if is OnlV nrOner tn cav that
all holders of lock boxes or drawers
who fail to renew their rental for
same before the 10th inst. will be
forced to call at the general delivery
for their mail.
1t is earnestly requested, therefore,
that all holder of boxes who desire to
retain the use of them. will not neglect
to comply with the law governing
their occupancy.

A report Of the war department

A report Of the war department.
says the total number of deaths from
all causes in the army since the com.
mencement of. the war, is 2,9l0, OF
which 2 ,565 is from disease. This latter
number in an army OF $4,000 makes
the.death rate but trifle higher
than prevails in the cities under mos
modernsanitary conditions. 1t is an
annual rate of about 20 in a thousand,
while the cities of the country have
death rate ranging from Is to &c.
While doubtless there was an Inc fiji
cheney in the war department. in
handling the men, caused largely
through the fact that there was
nothing at the start to properly
handle them With, and that mistake
was made in keeping such a large
body of men together for so long a
time, as was done at Chickamauga,
there is evidence coming to the front
that many lives might have been
saved had volunteer regimental Off
GERS in many cases been little more
strict in enforcing the instructions of
the medical department. and it is also
shown that the boys themselves did
not in all cases strictly observe the
best sanitary precautions, nor follow
medical advice when recovering from
sickness.
