SPLENDID ATTRACTION.

On Monday evening last there ap-
peared at the Grand Opera House the
largest and best talented company that
has appeared at the play house since
the opening and Immediately follow
ing attractions. This was the spectac-
ular pantomime, "Humpty Dumpty.
For number of years this play has
held prestige upon the boards, but few,
who never witnessed the play, realized
what gorgeous combination of scenic
effect, pantomine, brilliant display of
costumes, etc, it comprises. The play
was in three acts, with certain plot
laid, but intermingled with such a dis
play of humor as to keep the audience
in almost continual roar of laughter
The part of ''Humpty Dumpty' was
filled by Geo. II. Adams, whose name is
not new to Wausau's theatre goers, he
having appeared in the old Opera House
several times, the last being with the
HE, She, Him and Her. company.
He was advertised as Americas great
est clown, and we think he is entitled
to that distinction. With him were his
daughters Tonina and Lily, who took
leading parts, and whose singing and
dancing received much applause. This
company carries an immense amount
of scenery-more than they can display
in the average opera house-but near
ly all of it was used Monday evening,
and from the beginning to the end,
when the grand transformation scene
depicting the "Birth of Morn" was
displayed, it was of quantity such as
has never been seen in this city.
There were specialties introduced
which were exceptionally good, among
which were Alice Fisher, young bari
tone singer; Geo. Adams in his stilt act
and comicaiities; Geo Fielding in
Juggling act and Chas Heffner in dis
play of the art of bag punching To
say that the latter is a bag puncher of
merit would be putting it mildly for he
is an adept at the business, and proba-
bly, better at it than any pugilist in the
coLutry.
For stage settings, trick pantomime,
ETC., the production was first class and
judges claim that this attraction com
pares favorably with Hanlon Bros
"Fantasma" and "Superba." With
more attractions of this quality manager
Cone could put the house on good pay
ing basis with the patronage which the
public would certainly bestow upon
him.

The Yakima Valley


Washington, is the most attractive irri-
CATION proposition in the United States
All but tropical fruits grow luxuriantly,
while alfalfa is q sure and profitable
crop. Twenty-aere ranches can be pur-
chased for 5000 on easy terms. The
Northern Pacific Ry. traverses the en-
tire length of the valley thus ensuring
good transportation facilities. Good
school and churches abound, and rural
mail routes are established through the
valley, which will soon be one large
village. Thunderstorms are rare and
cyclones unknown. The climate, which
is very mild, is extremely beneficial to
oonSumptives and those afflicted with
bronchial and catarrhal. troubles. For
particulars write to c. w. Mott, Gen
Emigration Agent, Northern Pacific
Ry., st. Paul, Minnesota.

ELECTION BET PAID.

Some weeks before election Frank
Gaetzman and Henry Berkholder, while
in hot argument over politics, made a
bet and the same was paid on Saturday
evening last. The bet was not money
consideration, although there was
money involved in it. The loser was to
wheel the winner from the Adams
House to the Bells House and return,
and also pay for the refreshments at
every wet goods establishment passed
on the route Berkholder firmly be-
lieved that Bryan would be the next
president, while Gaetzman dreamed
one night that Mckinley would win
easily, and Frank is a firm believer in
dreams, and his man proved to be the
successful candidate and he conse-
quently won the bet At about 8
O'clock on Saturday evening Berkhol-
der secured Wheelbalrow and Gaetz-
man climbed into the same, and then
the fun commenced As they went
along the centre of the street men and
small boys stopped, "rubbered," and
then followed them, until when they
had reached the Adams House on the
return trip, fair sized army of those
whose curiosity had overcome them,
was surrounding the two.
Berkholder look the matter good
naturedly and remarked that wheeling
Gaetzman was circus for him, but he
did not like the idea of the small boys
tying his wheel, while he was doing the
refreshment purchasing act so thatit
would not reyolve,

KENTUCKY FEUDALISM.

Some few years ago quite a colony of
people from the mountain or eastern
district of Kentucky came to Wiscon
sin and Settled in and around Bryant, a
village six miles northeast of Amigo, in
Langlade county The reason for this
migration is not known but it has gen=
orally been supposed that in the various
family warfares, for which that portion
of the old Bourbon state is noted the
world over, that things began to get
too warm for these people, who are
supposed to have been more or less
mixed up in affairs Of that kind At all
events things which have transpired
within the past two weeks would indi-
cate that these people are not slow to
resent an insult or wrong in the usual
Kentucky style. About two weeks ago
two men, Tom Baker and j. j. ConneI-
ton, became engaged in quarrel over
politics, when Baker killed the latter
with knife. On Nov. 4th deputy
sheriff, in company with Geo. Connel'
ton, brother of the murdered man,
went TO the Baker place to arrest Bak.
er He seeing them coming attempted
to pull gun, but before he got chance
ty use it Councillor shot and killed his
man.
Baker at one time belonged to the
famous Baker faction in Kentucky, and
had killed several men in his day, and
&C one time had been sentenced to be
hanged but was later pardoned,
Whether or not friends of these people
will attempt TO carry on feud in Wis.,
consin remains to be seen.

NATIONAL BANKS WITHOUT END.
Only So Needed to Start $4,000
Concern Under the New Law.

New York, March S.-State banks
in all sections OF the country are pre-
pairing to take out charters under
the national bank system
as soon as the currency bill becomes
law. One New York bank received
more than thirty inquiries upon the
subject yesterday. One man from a
western town told bank officer that
he expected to start eight banks with
capital OF $4,000 each. Reports
OF similar preparations in other sec
lions OF the country led to a predic-
ton by an officer of one of the best
known banks that fully 1000 ma
tional charters would be applied for
after existing restrictions were MOD
flied
The New York Evening Post saws:
1T was estimated to-day that any
one with $4,000 cash capital could
start q national bank under the new
system. All that is required is $25,-
900 in per cent government bonds
which could be secured at ruling rates
for about $26,75O These, represent
ing the capital of the bank, could be
sent to Washington and circulation
for the full amount of the capital i'm
taken out. The organizer
OF the bank then has only 2,75O tied
up in the enterprise, but could take
deposits in the regular way. Whether
the system can be properly safeguard
ed under such requirements is not
known, but local bankers are watch |
ing the experiment with great interest
and more or less concern"

/ has still further impaired Mr. Mckin-
ley's prestige and the rumored pur-
pose of the president TO compel its
ratification will. if it should be reali1-
ed, not only discredit the government
but bring contempt and odium upon
the party. In word, the situation
as il seems 10 Us is far more favOra-
ble to Mr.. Bryan and far less so to
Mr.. Mckinley than it was four years
ago.
What will happen within the next
six months it is not for us To proph-
esy. We deal with the facts as they
are at this moment. In our opinion
the republican party has lost ground
TO an alarming extent within the last
three months. Its best friends and
ablest opponents have not been able
to explain the betrayal of our ns-
tional integrity in the HayPaunce-
tote treaty or TO defend the bad faith
and cruelty involved in our treat
ment OF Porto Rico. We say nothing
OF the stupid acknowledgement in Cuba
and the Philippine islands. the ugly |
and appalling suspicious current with |
reference to both them and Porto |
Rico
Having no certainty we speak no
word. But We assert without fear OF |
that the administra-
ton is daily losing strength on all |
these scores, and we know. for Ger
tainty, that thousands of men who
four years ago regarded Mr. Bryan
with terror and aversion now consid-
er him favorably as the lesser of two
evils"

Steel and Wire Trust.

Do the American people wish TO
pay more for articles manufactured
here than the people of Europe are
required TO pay for the same articles
shipped from this country and sold
abroad?
1t is not at all likely that the Amer
lean people desire TO do anything of
the kind. and Yet that is just what
they are forced to do by the protec-
tive tariff, which makes the trusts
rich and impoverishes the cousum-
ers.

thing take the steel and wire trust.

Harrison Steps TO the Front.

Washington, March 7.-Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison is a candidate for the
presidency. The sudden breach in
the republican lines caused by the
unexpected clash over the status OF
Porto Rico, gives the friends OF the
ex-president an opportunity to push
him to the front, and it is being made
the most of. Gen. Harrison is not
only outspoken in opposition to the
policy of Mr.. Mckinley as to Porto
Rico, but protests against the spirit
of toadyism to Great Britain which
is such a marked characteristic of
this administration, and openly ex-
presses sympathy with the Beers as
a people struggling to maintain a
free government.

are more disturbed just now by the

they are by the problem of the Phil
ippines.
