THERE are many people in the
southern part of the State who are at
f1icted with the notion that the pine
forests have been the prop of the
northern half of the State, and that
with the passing of the great forests
the prop is withdrawn and consequent
1y the industry and activity that has
characterized the north for the
past quarter of a century must inevlt-
ably fall. All who have visited the
northern districts of the Badger State
are conscious of the absurdity of this
opinion. In review of the situation
Milwaukee Sentinel makes it clear
that the passing of the pines is not in
any way going to hamper the progress
of Northern Wisconsin. The woods
have been fe11ed, but where once the
timber grew fertile farms are flourish
ing, titled and worked by skilled farm
ers. The pine has found successor
in the hard woods which are being
being used in the manufacture of the
finest furniture. The red curly birch
is considered second only to mahogany
and rosewood. Moreover, it is coursed
by giant water powers. In the Wis
consin valley are a dozen water powers
that will each develop 5000 horse pow
err, a half dozen with 10000, while one
near Merrill, by dual survey, shows
10000. The climate is healthy and
nature has exhausted her art III the
landscape of Northern Wisconsin.
The primeva1 forests have vanished
and with them one or two makers of
enormous fortunes, but they have been
supp1anted by sturdy, enterprising
population, "their country's pride"
who will be more to the future of Wis
consin than the fallen forests to it
past.

the chance Of defense from an utter

the fault of the British generals. For
months past they have been butting
their heads against the impregnable
defenses of the Beers, only to leave
the flower of tha British army dead
upon the field without gaining single
material victory.
To warriors in this country the fail
ure of the British seems to be consid-
cred a failure in the management OF
campaigns. To the American fighter
the report of Gen. Butler in which he
saws "The fact that the force could with
draw from actual touch-in some cases
the lines were less than 1000 yards
apart-with the enemy in the manner
it did, is, think, sufficient evidence of
the morale of the troops, and that we
were permitted to withdraw our CUM
brous OK and mule transport across the
river, eighty-fve yards broad, with
twenty-foot banks, and a swift current,
unmo1ested, is, I think, proof that the
enemy has been Taught to respect our
soldiers fighting power, would be
greater ignominy than any defeat in
honorable contest. In his report the
general more than admits the superior
ity of the Beers and gives the idea that
the world has long entertained, that
the fight from now on, for a while at
least, must be one of defense and not
conquest.

THE time has come when the citizens
of Kenosha must say whether or not
the city will be graced by q beautiful
" M. C. A. building and be benefited
by the many advantages connected
sYitn the institution. Nearly enough
naouey has been pledged to complete
ttae building, but it is ali pledged with
the understanding that the property
naust be clear of debt when the building
is completed. In order to carry out
t}ais provision it is necessary to raise
little more money, which must be
pledged during the coming week.
Every man in the city can afford to
give something toward the new build
ing, whether he is churchman or not,
as Il will be a direct benefit to him if
he cares to make it. In the first place
the management of the new building is
to be the best and the person who is TO
be ia charge will be a man, and a gen
have guaranteed, and this means sue
cess. One of the main points of the
Sew building is to be the gymnasium
and bowling alley, also the bath
attachments which includes all kinds
of baths for the benefit of the patrons.
The gymnasium will contain all app1i-
auces which are recognized for useful,
helpful, and manly sports and, exer-
cises, This is something which the
city has long needed, and which every
man who has not sufficient outdoor
exercise will be benefited by using.
AS all this will be free to members on
the payment of only FIVE dollars for a
whole year, we say again that every
n1au in the city can afford to give
something toward the new building.

Decline of Church Attendance.

The pulpit used to be the chief
means Of instruction and of intellect
uai and moral stimulation for the peo-
pie. The pulpit orator was the peoples
orator The pulpit has in great meas
are lost it's attractive power IN this re-
gard. The daily and weekly press
have a greater influence in public in
struction. The multiplication of cheap
books also takes from the pulpit a
large share of it's influence In this re-
gard. Oratory in Legislative bodies
has to a great extent lost it's inf1u-
ence. It's place has been taken by
simple, compact, time-saving state
ments, often printed, but not deliv-
cred. Committees do the work which
used to be done after discussion
before the public. So the people will
not listen now to the pulpit orator of
former generations. They demand
short, crisp sermons that brist1e with
points, and are practical and helpful.
In other words, the oratorical and
highly intellectual character of the
pulpit which used to attract worshipers
no longer attracts them. They feel
that they can get more benefit in this
regard by reading in the comfort of the
home. Mu1titudes of people can no
longer be induced to attend church to
be instructed by the minister or to
get his judgment on topics of the time,
or to be stirred by his e1oquence; they
can get all these things cheaper and
easier by reading at home. When,
now, this is REINFORCED by the fact
that mu1titudes dislike the doctrines of
the Church, and resent them when
athey are preached, we can easily under
stand that church attendance should
decline very greatly from this reason.

THE HOUSTON CASE AGAIN.
Former Kenosha Resident wants to Hear
the Opinions of Well Known Men.

Binghau1ton, N. Y, Jan. %, 1900.
Mr.. Editor was much interested
in reading last weeks TELEGRAPH
COURIER the report of the State Com
missioners in regard to the Houston
claim, also the letter of Mr.. Houston.
Born and raised IN the town of Pleas
ant Prairie, I have been acquainted
with Mr.. Houston from boyhood up. /
recall the DAYS when r. S. Houston s
butter and Ward C. Whites cheese
were considered the leading manufac-
tured products of our township.
Many times, in years gone by, I Wis
tied the barns of Mr.. Houston and
viewed his splendid herd of Jersey
cattle and now, when 1 contemplate
the destruction of his herd and the
ruin of his manufacturing plant, when
remember the public spirit of the man
and how he, for several terms repre-
scented us with credit to himself in the
Legislature of our state, 1 too, would
ask why he should be singled out as
martyr to the cause of science.
Mr.. Editor, | would like to see pub
1ished in the columns of the TELE-
the opinions of some
of the representative farmers of Keno
sha county in regard to this matter.
Such men as P. c. Torrey, G. D. Holt,
Henry B1ackman, Frank Waldo, Albert
Barter, Charles L. Marsh, M. o. My
rick, H. F. Jordan and many others
that might be named.
And should it appear from the opin-
ions of these men that Mr.. Houston
has suffered greatly financially because
of the undeve1oped condition of the
science of successfully treating tuber-
cu1osis at that time, what is to hinder
his brother farmers of Kenosha county
from sending monster petition to the
next Legislature asking that the
statutes be amended or suspended, if
necessary, that relief may be accorded
to him.
Let us hear what the farmers of
Kenosha county think about this mat
ter. Yours in the interest of equity
and fair play.

HE GETS A PARDON.
Ben Wheeler is Pardoned From Waupun
by Gov. Scofleld.

Ben Wheeler is Pardoned From Waupun
by Gov. scofeld.
A telegram from Madison states that
the Governor has signed pardon for
Ben Wheeler, who's was sent to the
state prison at Waupun from this city
to serve a two years sentence on a
charge of forgery.
Many people in this city will be
pleased to know that Wheeler has
been released. For some time an eff
fort has been made to secure the re-
lease of the young man and all the
officials connected with the conviction
urged the Governor to give the man
his freedom. Finally the old mother
of Wheeler appeared before the Gov
ernor in person and made an appeal for
her son, which resulted in his being
liberated.
Wheeler lived in Chicago and for
mer1y travelled for cash register firm.
He came to this city in October, 1897,
and after drinking heavily he forged a
check for few dollars, endorsing the
name of H. E. Tanner on the back of
it. He did rot secure any money on
the check, but consented to plead
guilty to the charge against him.
Judge Fish gave him two years in the
state prison. Wheeler, accompanied
by his mother, passed through Keno
sha this morning en- route to Chicago.

Defense Not Conquest.

It's Tommy this and Tommy that,
And chuck him out the brute
But it's Savior of your country
When the guns begin to shoot"
This little coup1et of Kip1ing never
appeared so foolish to the world as it
does this morning when it is an
ueuuced that the British arms have
rnet their greatest reverse since the
days of the American revolution. The
British soldier is no longer the idol of
the British nation, for the dispatch of
General Butler has placed ban on the
prestige of the army which it will take
years of hard won victories to remove.
The fate of the Eug1ish General when
the colonial troops surrounded Sara
toga over hundred years ago seems
to be the only fate that can await
Geaera1 White with the guns of the
Boer army beating against the portals
of Ladysmith. With Butler and his
defeated army on the other side of the
Tuge1a it is hardly possible that the
advancement of the victorious Beers
can be stopped. All news to the Eng
fish officials only increases the brilliant
victory won by the Beers and the
question of conquest In the minds of
the British has been abandoned, while

NO HARBOR BILL.
Committee Decides Against Any Harbor
Legislation at this Season

Committee Decides Against Any Harbor
Legislation at this Season
AT meeting of the Committee, on
Rivers and Harbors yesterday it was
decided not to present a river and har-
Dor bill to the house at the present
session. After full discussion the
conclusion was reached that the funds
available for the various projects
specifically provided for are in such
shape that bill providing further APP
preparations can we'll be deferred until
next winter. This conclusion is based
on the statement recently filed with
the committee by the chief of engir-
GERS, showing that in most instances
there is sufficient amount available to
continue work during the coming sea-
son. It is probable that in certain
cases where the necessity for funds is
particularly urgent that separate bills
may be presented, although Chairman
Burton of the committee said today
that such action is not likely: Contin-
uing contracts will be cared for, as is
customary, in the Sundry Civil bill

A Benefit Dance.

One of the most jolly events of the
season was the benefit dance given by
the Painters and Decorators union at
Park City Hall last night. The dance
was a mask ball and it was announced
that the proceeds would be given to
one of the members of the Union, who
has been i'll for many months. This
fact was enough to overcome the cold
weather and the hall was packed early
in the evening. Many of the dancers
were masked and all of them had a
pleasant time. There were over one
hundred couple in the grand march,
which started shortly after 10 O'Clock.
A full list of prizes was awarded,
but the winners, entering into the
spirit of the occasion, donated the
money paid to them to the benefit fund.
The dance was a great success from
every standpoint and the Union boys
are to be congratulated on their work
for the benefit of one of their unfortu-
nate members.
