Monona Lake Assembly.

The great auditorium for the
MonOna Lake assembly is nearing
completion, and will be ready for the
opening July II. The cost of the
structure has been $4,000 and it viii
be one of the best of its kind in the
county. The roof is truSsed, leavinga a
clear open space 160 feet in diameter.
It's seating capacity is between 5000
and 5000 all on one floor, and every
person within easy hearing of the
speaker. The construction is such
that it's 81 des can be thrown open in
fine weather, and closed during
storms. 1t is an ideal building,
unique in arrangement and will well
repay one visit to Monona if for no
other purpose than to see it. The
program presented is good one.
Among the prominent names are Gov.
"Bob' Taylor of Tennessee, Bishop
McCabe, Rev. Sam +. Jones, Rev.
Robert Mcintyre, Prof. Moses Colt
Taylor, Bishop Chas. B. Galloway,
Miss Anna Shaw and others.
An interesting feature July 80 will
be political debate between Con-
gressmen Landis of Indiana and Clarke
of Missouri. These gentlemen are

the floor of congress and will no doubt
put up lively debate. Eugene b.
Cushing, a Chicago attorney, who has
just returned from the1sceneS of war
in South Africa, gives an illustrated
lecture on that country. He was
present at several battles and secured
many views which he uses in his
lecture with good effect. In the
evening there will be an exhibition Of
liquid air, the greatest of recent
scientific discoveries, moving pictures,
readings, music by South African
boys, celebrated Soloists and Clauder's
great band.
Altogether the program is a most
interesting and inviting one. James
f. Moseley of Madison is the secre-
tary and all inquiries should be ad-
dressed to him.

Sunday Picnic at SiqeI.

The biggest crowd of people that
ever gathered at Sigel spent the day
there Sunday last, attending the
picnic which was advertised last week.
Elegant music was furnished by
Hirzy'S orchestra for the young people
to dance after, and there was plenty
of beer. ice cream, lemonade and
other refreshments for those who
desired it, concluding with big
dance in the evening. Many visitors
were present from Grand Rapids and
some from MarShtield and other near
by towns. The receipts from the
picnic were S615.15 which will net
St. Mary'S church, the local church,
something over 5000. Everything
passed OFF peaceably and everybody
had good time. There would have
been a still larger crowd but for the
threatening character of the weather.

DEATH OF L. HATHAWAY.
With Joke On His Lips, WeIl-known
Character Passes Away.

l.. Hathaway, a well-knOTn man ir
| this section of country and peculiar.
| ly jOyial character, was stricken with
death while being shaved in J. E.
BraZeau's barber shop Saturday morn
| ing about 1870 o'clock. He had Suf
fered much with an attack of neural
gia for about 10 days previous to his
death, an atfiiCtiOn that he was subject
| to, and was much worried over the
| matter as the pain was in the region
| OF his heart, but Saturday morning he
arose quite early and apparently in
improved health. The colonel, as his
friends about town called him. was in
fact himself again and greeted all his
acQualntainceS with his customary
good humOr. While being shaved he
bantered the boys in the shop and
especially j. E. BraZeau who shaved
him. He took ten cents from his
pocket to pay for his shave, which
Brazeau told him he wouldn't take
until he had finished his job. AS he
sat up in the chair to have his neck
shaved he was stricken as if by an
electric shock and died almost in.
stdntly. DrS. POmainville and Sweet
man were called and pronounced it a
| case of heart failure. The remains
were taken to the home of his
daughter, Mrs. ID. J. Arpin, where they
| were prepared for burial.
Lorenzo Hathaway was born April
%, 1886, in Stockbridge township,
| Madison county, n. Y. He removed
with his parents to Oakland, Jefferson
county, Wis, in the fall Of 1S49 and
| to Plainville, near KilbOurn City, in

ENGLISH PAPERMAKERS.
Visit Grand Rapids Saturday to Inspect The

A party of European paper manu-

taken to Biron to see the plant of the

After inspecting this plant they re-

driven to Port Edwards and NekoOSa,
where they visited the biggest paper
mill in the country.

and were amazed at the intelligence
of the operatives and speed at which
American factories are run. They
freely admitted that American mills
are much superior to those in Europe.
On their return trip their hosts
took them through the big saw mill
of the Grand Rapids Lumber Co. and
as none of the foreign party had ever
seen saw mill or board sawed from
a tree, the sights about the mill were
a revelation to them. So interested
were they in the saw mill that four of
them returned to it after supper for a
further investigation of the work.
They left on the 1905 train on the
Milwaukee road for st. Paul and
Duluth, and from there by steamer to
Montreal, Canada. They expressed
themselves as very much pleased with
their entertainment and visit IN Grand
Rapids.

The Rededication of Unity Church.

The unusual interest manifest in
this event was shown by the presence
of a large audience on Thursday even
ing filling the building. The service
being the formal recognition of the
fact that hereafter this place of wOr-
ship will be known as the First Con-
gregatiOnal Church, it was felt that
the occasion was one of especial i'm
pOrtance. Though the prominent
feeling was one of thankfulneSS and
gladneSS, yet with some, there was
doubtless a mingled feeling. This
was natural enough, for it could not
be expected that those who had been
associated with the old Church all
their lives would be able to leave it
without regret: it had been endeared
to them by fellowship, by service, and
many sacred memories, it is therefore
most gratifying to know that the
transition from the old to the new
position has been made without
friction. When we consider the fact
that SO many people had to be con-
suited it is remarkable to have made
the change with such unanimity, and
shows that wise, christian spirit
must have guided the people, giving a
willingness to choose what would be
for the best interests of the Church.
With all the Congregational forces
now concentrated there will be power
to do greater work in the cOmmu-
nifty. There is every condition and
sign OF success in the future the
promise that energy and enthusiasm
will enter into every department of
the Church's work.
1t is evident that special attention
will be given to the music of this
church and that it will form an i'm
portant part of every service. 1t was
a pleasure to listen to the fine choir of
choice voices which has been organized
by Mr.. T. A. Taylor. The singing was
of high quality, accompanied with
great taste and feeling by Mrs. Irving
PhilleO. 1t must be a privilege appre-
ciated by all, to listen every Sunday,
and enjoy the refining, uplifting in
| fiuence of such music.
The sermon of Rev. Ellsworth was
full of strong thought and delivered
with great earneStneSS. The view of
| life and work which he gave must
have sent everyone away with an
exalted idea of daily duty, inspired
with fresh energy to do it cheerfully.
He showed the divine purpose in the
simplest, commOnest tasks, and that
when the divine presence was realized
they would become gloritied and de-
| lightful. The preacher made deep
impression and convinced us that
when the pulpit is filled by a man with
a living message that it has power to
inspire faith in it.
The church was beautifully deco
rated with plants and flowers
We congratulate Rev. Shaw and his
people on having made this change so
harmoniously and rejoice with them
in the bright promise of success which
it gives.

Gun Club.

About a dozen of the best shots in
the city got together Wednesday
afternoon at grounds in the Garrison
field and participated in a preliminary
''shoot" to the organization Of a gun
club in this city. The score was not
remarkable as most of the boys are
badly out of form, not having done
any shooting for some time. The
club will probably be regularly or
ganized the coming week, and will
hold weekly meetings for the balance
of the season. The following gentle

commend the Ang0raS to the favorable

Grain raising is seldom the most

The vote upon the currency bill In the
Senate, a measure reaftirming the fact
that gold is the single standard of value,
and providing with great care and eff
cheney for its maintenance. was the most
remarkable comment upon the cause of
free silver that has been made since
President McKinley's election.
The vote that passed the bill was
forty-four to twenty-siN.
Among the Senators voting In the bills
favor were Baker, of Kansas: Carter,
of Montana: Clark. of Wyoming; Foster,
of Washington: Hansbrough and NC
Cumber, Of North Dakota: Mcbride and
Simon, of Oregon: Perkins and Bard, of
California; Thurston, of Nebraska, and
Shoup, of Idaho.
Thus Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and the three
States of the Pacific coast speak for
gold; States in which not many years ago
the conflict for silver was declared ire
