TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE TAKES
ON NEW LIFE WITH OEVEL-
MENTS AT TOPEKA.
Hinted That Trainmen Are Restless
and viii Make Demands on the
Santa Fe-Air of Mystery Main
tanned in Brotherhood Circies-Op-
orators More Confident Of Victory.


Topeka. Kan, Dec. l2.-Opinions
concerning the telegraphers' strike
have materially changed today. In
stead of the Indifference which has
been manifested by some of the rail
o officials during the past few days
a disposition to be constantly on the
alert has shown itself.
h officials of the Santa Fe have
at last become convinced that the
strike means something. The cause of
this is the unrest prevalent among the
engineers. conductors and brakemen.
1t is regarded as almost a certainty
that some of these workers will go on
a sympathetic strike within w days
unless the differences between the
company and the operators are speedi-
ly adjusted.
The reason of the trainmen for tax
ing this step is not thought to compre-
bend so much sympathy for the oper-
ators as it does their own interests.
Vigilance Required.
Said a prominent engineer today:
III We suffer this thing to go by un.
questioned the right of the company to
do as it pleases will be permanently es-
tablished, and in spite of anything we
can do, the rights and privileges of or,
ganized labor will be hopelessly lost.
1t is the principle we are striving for.
and come what may, the principle must
and will be maintained that organized
labor must have rights"
AS far as can be learned there have
not yet been any conferences held be-
tween the telegraphers and the repre-
sentatives of the trainmen's organiza-
tions. There is an air of mystery about
all the transactions. however. which
makes it amout to a practical certainty
that there will be something done with.
in a short time.
President Dolphin looked very wise
when asked by an Associated Press
correspondent tonight what was in the
wind.
We'll. just wait n little while" he
replied. we will have something to
spring soon that will curl your hair"
so to speak. What is 1t? Well, / can.
not give that out tonight. However,
you may say this with confidence. The
te%legraphers lever felt so good at any
time during the progress Of the strike
as they do right now. We recognized
from the start that we had hard fight.
and We did not go into it ~unadvisedly
and without knowledge of what we
could expect in the way of support

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT,

Miss Josie Pearson is under the care
of physicians at the DR.. Schallern hos
pital on Main street, Miss Lulu Thayer
is confined to her room at the home of
her father, Senator L. w. Thayer, both
having sustained serious injuries, as the
result of runaway accident.
Miss Pearson and her youngest broth
er started for pleasure ride Monday
evening, inviting Miss Thayer to ac-
company them. Driving west on Hall
street the team took fright and the driv-
er lost all control over them. They
failed to make the turn at the foot OF
the hill near Eureka street bridge and
dashed through the railing and down
the embankment, throwing the occu-
pants to the ground with terrific force.
Miss Pearson's injuries were the most
severe and for time it was feared she
would not rally from the shock. She is
now out of danger, however. Miss
Thayer was badly cut about the face
and head, but was able to be removed
to her home. Che young lad, escaped
with but few bruises. The buggy was
wrecked and one horse injured. -Ripon
Commonwealth.
Miss Thayer, as stated above, is a
daughter. of Senator L. w. Thayer,
who was formerly resident of Wau-
sau. A word received here Saturday
conveyed the information that Miss Lu-
lu was fast recovering.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Gabriel Green Shot and Killed on the
Streets of Stevens Point.

Gabriel Green, resident of Stevens
Point, While talking with q friend at
the corner of Brown and Union streets
about noon on Wednesday was shot by
a rifle ia the hands of an unknown per-
son. The ball passed entirely through
his body and death followed about two
hours later.
Leo. Weisner, saloon keeper, and
his bartender, Frank Klentinski, were
arrested on suspicion. The murdered
man, in an ante norton statement, said
he saw the two men charged with the
shooting standing on the corner about
five minutes before the shooting. This
fact, in itself, would not be sufficient to
cause their arrest; but the additional
fact that on jan s, 1900, Green killed
Louis Wejsner, brother, of Leo, and
was ont on bail for the alleged murder,
was deemed sufficient for their arrest.
AT preliminary examination of Weis-
ner and Klentinske, they were able to
establish an abali. 1t viii be a case for
the detectives to work up.
The two men accused are connected
in business way with John ID. Curran,
who has made Stevens Point famous in
many ways. This makes the third muir
der in Stevens Point during the past
eight months.

IN THE SOCIAL REALM.
A Pleasant Reception and Dancing
Party in Fraternity Hall Last
Evening.

A delightful reception and dancing
party was given by Miss Della Thayer
and Will Schofeld last evening, in Fra
ternity hall, in honor of their cousins,
Miss Adelaide and Mabel Haseltine, of
Ripon, Wis. About one hundred invi-
tations were sent out, and besides the
young folks in attendance number
of the older people dropped in during
the evening just to cause themselves to
feel young again. AS the guests en-
tered the hall, they were received and
introduced to the Misses Haseltine, and
the fore part of the evening was thus
taken up with the reception.
The hall was very prettily arranged,
wild ferns being predominant among
the greenery displayed on every side,
while here and there palms were placed
to advantage, and rugs cushioned the
floor. The piano was hidden under a
mass of cut roses, and the beautiful
flowers were also distributed in other
portions of the hall. Screens barred
the view in certain directions, and coy
hooks invited rest and conversation.
Two electric fans kept the atmosphere
in circulation and made the occasion a
delightful one for dancing, Refresh
ments were served from IL to - O. clock.
About fifty couples participated in
the dancing program, and delightful
music was furnished by Cones orches-
ira The party was thoroughly en-
joyed by all, and socialbility and good
fellowship combined to make the occa
sion one to be kindly remembered.

EXCELLENT PATRIOTIC SERVICE
Rev. F. A. Pease Stirred a Large Aud
fence to Enthusiasm on Sunday
Evening.

A patriotic service was held in the
First M f. church on Sunday evening,
Rev Frank A. Pease, pastor, had given
out that there would be such service,
and besides, fine musical program.
This drew out large congregation, so
large that it was necessary to fill every
available nook with chairs. The church
was handsomely decorated with the
national colors, two immense flags be-
ing arranged back of the pulpit and
reaching the full width of the large
building. There was an orchestra of
ten pieces, which was conducted by j.
G. Remfrey, and among other music,
several patriotic airs were rendered
which reused the congregation to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. The singing by
Mrs S. g. Staples and Prof. Lowe was
greatly appreciated, as was also the
singing of Mrs. H. c. Stewart The
congregational singing was led by E.
M James, and such stirring songs, as
America" and "The Star Spangled
Banner were rendered with such viger
as to astonish even the singers them
selves.
The PILOT has not the time to give
the sermon delivered by Rev. Pease,
the notice which it deserves, but a
shorthand reporter should have been
present and his remarks given to the
public in full, for it is among the best
sermons ever heard in Wausan. He
spoke upon the advancement of our
country until it has become the greatest
nation on the face of the earth; the
trouble between capital and labor was
touched upon liquor traffic and the
"canteen policy" spoke of Col. Bryan's
visit to Wausau and thought it an hon
or, no matter what his politics were; OF
the republican convention at Philadel-
phia and thought it was a great honor
that one of our citizens had been APP
pointed on committee to notify Presi-
dent Mckinley of his nomination.
Quite little attention was paid to the
question of expansion, which the Rev.
gentleman favored in terms not to be
misunderstood. Rev. Pease closed his
sermon by paying glowing tribute to
''old glory" 1t was sermon which
would have done all good to hear, no
matter what their opinions upon the
Questions discussed
The services closed with the singing
of '@The Star Spangled Banner" Mr..
James taking the solo part in the YER
SEES and the congregation joining in
ION the chorus. At the rendition of the
last verse handkerchiefs were waved
in the air, and feeling of patriotism
was stirred up that had to find express
sion in some manner

FROST.

Last Thursday the thermometer got
up to 50 in the shade, and it was blister
ing hot. There was change on Fri
day and so cold that heavy wraps had
to be donned Friday night was very
cold for this time of the year, and on
Saturday citizens awoke to find heavy
frost. Ice had formed on water stand
ing out doors to the thickness of cop
per cent. There never was such a
thing heard of in this section before.
Everything in the vegetable line
throughout the county has been badly
damaged, and in some instances en-
tirely destroyed. The rains since Sat
urday may be of some benefit in reyiv-
ing crops, but not much.

A CYCLONE YESTERDAY.
Did Considerable Damage on East
Hill.-Mrs. Bertha Chellis' Home
Damaged.

During the severe rainstorm yester-
day afternoon, the wind made things
very lively where Mcintosh street
climbs east hill, at the southeast of the
city. For time during the storm, the
wind in the central portion of the city
seemed to be quite strong, bending the
high treetops, but none of our citizens
even dreamed that cyclone passed
above Grand avenue, striking on east
hill where the home of Mrs. Ber-
tina Chellis stands. A reporter for
the PILoT visited the scene of the
winds depredations early this morn
ing, and a sight well worth the
seeing met his eyes. The fingers of the
wind struck the west side of the Chellis
home little above the height of the
front door, and ripped off the siding
and inner sheathing of boards, lifted OFF
part of the roof in two places, leveled
the chimney, and carried the whole
tangled mass of wreckage over onto the
roof of the barn east of the house.
Many of the boards and pieces of scant-
ling were carried through the air sew
eral hundred feet, alighting in a field
beyond the Chellis home, where they
now lie scattered.
During this severe storm, the River
side Hospital ambulance was making
its way along the Mcintosh road east
of the Chellis farm and was overturned,
and during the scramble caused there
By Mr., Davis, one of the hospital EN-
ployes, had his ankle severely wrenched.
We have been unable to learn whether
any further damage was done by the
cyclone, or in what direction it contin-
ued its path, but further news of it will
undoubtedly be heard when the farmers
from that section of the country come
to the city to make purchases.
