ski and Antininia Wisnienska; and an-
Iother TO szymon Drzawicki and Stan
islausa Gistzer. The only compensate
ing reflection is that two names are
blended into one, as we'll as two hearts.
An odd indication of the prosperity
of the people in the city is given by the
chief clerk III the office of the city clerk
of Milwaukee. Last year there We're
over 5000 dog licenses issued. and the
probability that this year the number
will be in excess of 5000. During the
hard times of 1898 and 1894 the number
Of dog licenses was about 6,000 The
clerk declares this is an infallibie sign
of prosperity, for whenever times are
hard people drive the animals out of
their homes or take their chances on
being caught violating the law.
Nine carloads of bananas en- route
north We're thrown out in Illinois re-

Senator Allison very seldom makes a
statement about the business of the
senate, but when he does it carries
weight When asked what he thought
of the claim of Senator Morgan that
the senate would take up and pass the
Nicaragua canal bill. which was passed
q by the house last week. Mr.. Allison is
quoted as saying: Senator Morgan is
very much in earnest in this matter,
but ! fear ne is letting his enthusiasm
run away with his judgment. He is an
able man and a fine senator. but he is
not running the United States senate at
present. The senate is now in control
of the republican party, and we do not
propose to allow our fixed purposes TIC

have determined upon bringing it TO a
