GEN. JOE WHEELER is off to the
front again. Whenever Gen. Wheel
er's convictions are closely touched he
seems impelled forthwith to activity in
their behalf. He believed in the cause
of the Confederates and fought for it
bravely and well; he believed in the
war waged by this country against
Spain and he gave his services where
and when they-were most needed. Now
he is rushing to the Philippines to as
sist in crushing the insurrection be-
cause he believes that the war Presi-
dent Mckinley is.waging there is just
and holy one. Gen. Wheeler is the
direct antithesis of such men as Atkin-
son and his coterie and by the heroism
of himself and his like the evil wrought
by their counterparts is overcome.

Dc you know how to grade school?
What thing must be thou ght of in max
ing out program? Can you properly
mark a set of examination papers? How
would you make the best use possible
of the school library? All these points
will be discussed at. the Institute.
The main purpose of all institute
work is to develop teaching and train
ing power. By teaching power is
meant the power which is exerted to
the end that the pupil may know that
which is worth knowing, and by train.
ing power is meant that which is
exerted to the end that the pupil may
do and be that which is worth his
doing and being.
Ia all good institute work there must
be given attention to the academic
side and to the professional side
Method must grow out of the subject

STILL CELEBRATING.
Edward Hensel was badly Burned Sunday
by Powder Explosion.

The youth of this city are still cele
brating the glorious Fourth and the list
of accidents resulting from such cele-
bration is still growing. The latest
one to be reported occurred Sunday
morning, when Edward Hensel, the IA
year old son of Louis Hensel, had his
face and eyes badly burned by powder
explosion. Young Hensel had piece
of fire works known as flower pot left
over from Thursday and decided to fire
it on Sunday. ID
The powder in the flower pot was
wet and did not burn very fast and the
young man thought it had gone out.
He went to pick the thing up and got
too close to it when it exploded. His
face and eyes we're blown full of pow
der, and it is feared that he will be
dis6gured for life. DR.. Windesheim
was called to attend him.
While the accident resulted in a very
painful injury the doctor does not
think that bis eyes will be permanently
affected, and he will probably escape
with a badly Scared face.

WE have a man in one of our western
states who received a kick from horse
not long since and is at present suing
for $4,000 damages. Capt. Dreyfus,
who has been unjustly and illegally
subjected to the most severe imprison-
ment for five years asks 20 cents dam
ages. If the case of the former was
carefully examined it would probably
reveal that the man ought to have been
arrested and punished long since for
cruelty to animals. If the crime
against Dreyfus could be measured in
terms of money it would represent
about all the French republic is worth.
But such a wrong cannot thus be
Vighted. The only thing that can in
demnify Dreyfus is full and complete
vindication in the eyes of the world
and return to his old position.

STOLE A WATCH.
Burglars Break Into the Residence of Ben
windsor on Park Avenue.

The festive burglar is again making
his rounds about this city, and this
morning it is reported that some time
last night or early this morning some
unknown person or persons broke into
the residence of B. F. Windsor on Park
avenue, and when they left the house
they took with them a valuable golQ
watch belonging to w. Fl. White, the
father of Mrs. Windsor.
The robbery is supposed to have
been committed at an early hour this
morning. The thieves gained en-
trance to the house by opening win
dow at the rear Of the house. Into
this window they climbed with the aid
of step ladder. Mr.. Windsor and all
the members of his family were in the
house at the time the robbery was
committed, but it seems that the rob-
bers were SO quiet about the work that
no one heard anything of them. None
of the rooms with the exception of Mr..
Whites were entered and as far as can
be discovered the watch was the only
booty secured.
The case was reported to the police
early this morning, but as yet 'they
have not been able to find any clue
which will lead to the detection of the
criminals. The people, living in the
house seem to think that the robbery
was the work of home talent and the
tracks about the step ladder seem to
indicate that the work was done by a
boy. This theory is hardly believed by
the police, as the job was so cleverly
done that it seems to have been the
work of a professional burglar.
This is the seconds case of watch
thievery reported within the past few
weeks and every effort should be made
to secure the thieves.

THE city of Milwaukee is a splendid
city, but it is laboring against de-
cided handicap. Every now and then
its fair visage is disfgured by the dirty,
clumsy paw of Mayor Rose protruding
itself and leaving its smutty marks TO
spoil the pleasing effect. This unique
monstrosity and his kindergarten of
spoils seekers is making Milwaukee a
hundred times more infamous than it's
renowned beer had made it famous.
They are now making noise over the
new secretaryship, and this man Rose,
with Gn the presumption and audacity
of veritable tyrant, has summoned the
police force of the city to defend him in
his system Of spOils and patronage. If
Che city Of Milwaukee does not rise in
its righteous wrath and make it so
warm for Mayor Rose as to satisfac-
6orily cook his political goose, it will be
strange indeed. And the sooner it's
done the better.

EACH PARTY GETS ONE.
Special Election Results in no Change in
the Council.

the Council.
The special election held yesterday
in the Fourth and Sixth wards for the
purpose of choosing aldermen to fill
the vacancies caused by the resignation
of Aid. Brister and FRANKIE, passed off
quietly.
No interest seemed to be taken at all
by the members of the Republican
party and the Democrats easily elected
their candidate in the Sixth ward. OF
course the Republicans won out in the
Fourth ward and George D. Head was
elected to succeed Aid. Brister. In
this ward only 134 votes were cast, of
which Mr.. Head received 68. Ham
mang, the Democrat, received IS votes
while one was blank. This gave Head
a majority of 3.
In the Sixth ward the stay at home
vote was also noticeable. The Demo
Gratis polled 152 votes for Matthias
Greenwald, which was 10Y more than
the Republicans polled for Becker and
the former was elected by one of the
largest majcrities ever given in the
ward.
The election will leave the political
complexion of the Council unchanged.
It will remain five Republicans and
eleven Democrats. The Republicans
should hold the balance of power in the
way of the passage of ordinances, as it
seems certain that at least one of the
Democratic aldermen will side with

Mr.. Chadwick said:

There was a considera BILE change in the

Padden played the position in eighty-three
games. Scheibeck in twenty-seven and HUI

recover lost ground but also the want of

critical emergencies of a contest. In other
words, they needed men who do a heap of

Mr. Chadwick does not hesitate to say
that an excellent working team of four

four outfelders could have been selected

Mr., Chadwick, in his comments on the
good and bad points of the Washington

OF the league clubs at large, attributed the
failure of the league season to equal the
sangu1ne expectations INDUCED in last

by the general club management in conn

drove thousands of the reputable patrons

the victory was SO overwhelming can be
attributed to the fine playing of the visit

with effective twirling and fautless hand
ling of the ball.
The locals entered into the game with
dash and energy, but twere unable to con-
