BUSINESS puts in the shade almost every

President Bowerman to-day devoted
the principal part of his address to this
topic, declaring hal union funds were
threatened with establishment and that
the position was intolerable. He said
the parliamentary committee favored
an alteration of the constitutions of the
unions, with the object of minimizing
their liability to action.
The Chronicle to-day supports this
view, maintaining that no association
of workingmen can long stand against
such litigation. and that II the decision
regarding picketing is final then any

ing of the death at Beaver Dam, Wis,
Of Carl w. Briggs, formerly a we'll
known attorney of this city.
Mr.. Briggs left Milwaukee about a
year ago, to take up his residence at
Beaver Dam. He practiced law there,
but an attack of infiammatory rheu-
matism prevented his being very
active of late. e. @. Nye Of this City

apparent then, Mr.. Nye says, that Mr..
Briggs could not long survive.
Mr.. Briggs was born at BriggSville,
in this state, about fifty-six years ago.
He was engaged in the practice of law
at Grand Rapids, Wis, with Judge
Powers, for some time and was also
counsel for the Valley division of the
Wisconsin Central railway. Later he
was connected with the legal depart
rnent of the st. Paul railway.
During the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Briggs served on the Union side,
Shiloh being enc of the battles in
which he took part. Before the close
of the war he had attained the rank
of captain. Deceased is survived by a
widow and a young son.
Carl Briggs was we'll and favorably
known in Grand Rapids. The widow

WANT A UNION DEPOT.
Grand Rapids Business Men Petition Railroads
to Unite in One Bia Depot.

The Business Mems association of
this city have undertaken an enter

will be one of the greatest additions
to the cosmopolitan character of this
city Of anything that has yet
occupied their attention. The enter

roads respectively, and II. T.
WhitcOm, Milwaukee, president of
W. G. railroad:
conference.-the undersigned citi-
Zens of Grand Rapids, Wis, would
respectfully submit for your consdera-
tion the ACCESSIBILITY of building a
joint union passenger station and
depot at Grand Rapids On the west
side. We think it would be a matter
of convenience and economy for the
citizens as well as for your respective
companies. The Business Mems asso-
citation would undertake to secure all
the necessary right of way across the
streets that would be necessary in
order to change the tracks to such
available point for the passenger
station and union depot, as we'll as
aiding in any other way they can to
facilitate the project.
The petition is signed by nearly
every business firm in the town and
there is probably not person in the

NcKinIey's Visit to New Orleans.
BY a Special Correspondent.

On May 1st, the President was given
a welcome in New Orleans, of the
cordiality of which there can be no
more warmly or more enthusiastically
received here and none has ever had
so large an audience to welcome him.
Every person in New Orleans, who
could do so, turned out and there were
obviously many visitors from the
country-come to see the President,
probably the only one they will eyer
have the chance of seeing. the present
executive of our grand and noble
nation. The whole south in fact is as
one enthusiastic person differing in
politics but not in principles. There
is south and it has a tender heart
too" Every city both great and
small gave him cheer of welcome.
l should like to give my readers a
small idea of the greatness of this
reception in New Orleans one of the
South'S largest cities, but numbers look
small and we can not grasp the true
greatness without being an eye witness
butin round numbers there were nearly
100000 people out TO witness the
grand arrival and to show due respect
to him, VIM. Mckinley.
At $50 in the evening President
Mckinley left the ST. Charles hotel
and was escorted to Canal street by
Gov. w. w. Heard and Mayor Paul
COpdeville to view the electric
illumination in the colors of the
union-red, white and blue. Long

was present to witness the sport and
like three-ring circus, there was
plenty of entertainment, as three and
four events were being brought off at
the same time. The Grand Rapids
boys seemed to have lots of friends in
the grand stand who cheered them
Justify when they excelled and picked
them out as one of the best teams at
the meet. After the sports were
finished the Grand Rapids boys were
taken on tour Of inspection of the
university grounds and buildings by a
committee of university students, and
were much impressed with the advan-

and desirable place for Grand Rapids
students to further their education.
The representatives Of the schools
of the following cities in the order
named made the first five highest
scores: Wausau, Oshkosh, Kaukauna,

Marshfield Times

MdTsnnelQ Hines.
MesSrS. M. G. Fleckenstein and NJ
HeSser are buSily engaged in making
preparations to install the machinery
for their new paper mill at the old
chair factory, and have large crew
of men at work under them. The
foundation for the paper machines is
being laid and the machines will be
received on or before the 9Th of June.
The water problem seems to have
been most satisfactorily solved as the
new well gives promise of supply
amply sufficient for the needs of the
business. The well is a curhed
excavation to the depth of forty-one
feet and water rises to within twenty
three feet of the surface. One vein of
water at a depth of about twenty
four feet has the appearance of a
small creek flowing in continuously
from the northeast and other veins
were struck lower down. An effort
will be made to drill to a much greater
distance as soon as suitable drilling
apparatus can be secured. 1t is
expected that the plant will be in
readiness about July 1st. The
machine has capacity of from two to
four tons of paper per day, and the
output will include tissue paper in all
grades, fruit wrappings being the
principal line at first.

E. 4. CadY Against the Bill.

It will be. remembered that the
Exemption Bill" was defeated in the
legislature and the Hon. f. A. Cady
of this county, is entitled to great
credit for aiding in it's defeat. The
Wisconsin Grocer, published at
Milwaukee, had the following editor
ial comment in it's issue of May:
Mr.. Cady of Marshfield made the
principal argument against the bill.
He fought it in the Assembly and
when he was beaten there. he followed
it to the Senate and used his influence
against it. He had two arguments
against the bill: First, that it was
unfair to single out the labOring
people and reduce their exemptions;
and second. that it was unwise to
antagOnize the labor vote and bring
defeat upon the republican party.
The last is probably the real reason
why he opposed the bill as he is under
stood to have political aspirations.
The labor people say the grocers
should do a cash business and they
wont make so many bad accounts.

unable to witness the parade in the
afternoon had congregated to get a
look at him. No sooner had he left
the hotel, however, than. as il by
magic. the news seemed to travel. and
from every intersecting street there
was a mad rush to gain position of
advantage. But there was none.
Every available space seemed to be
occupied, and still they came, until it
looked as if the entire population of
the CITY had turned out en- mass to do
honor to the man who holds the
highest position of trust within the
gift of the people of any nation on
earth.
AS the carriage turned east on
Canal street and the crowd caught
sight of the President, a mighty cheer
was started Those who could not
see knew what it meant and joined ia
the demonstration.
Canal street was blaze of glory.
Long rows of electric lights strung on
either side of the street together with
the many colors of the flags and bunt-
ing with which the buildings were
feStoOned made color effect not soon
to be forgotten.
Thursday 9 a. m. the presidential
part left the st. Charles hotel for a
drive over the city, stopping at the
Southern University and at Cabildo.
At 1890 the party returned for
luncheon, and at 1:30 the president and
members in his honor boarded the
steamer for city of st. Louis at the
foot of Canal street for a run down
the Mobile river to Chalmette and
returning at p. m. at the foot Of
Canal street. At p. m. the honored
party left via Southern Pacific r. r.
for Houston and other Texas points.
Thus ended the two days of enthu-
siaSm and all turned their eyes to
industrial duties again.

Death of ]. p. Scott,

Judge John A. Gaynor received a
letter Sunday from Dubuque, Ia, con-
tanning the information that of the
death of j. P. Scott of that city. Mr..
Scott was member of the firm of
Clark & Scott of Rudolph and was
well known through this country.
They had been in business in that
locality for about 25 years, but closed
up their milling operations there
about two years ago, since which time
Mr.. Scott has been selling the stump
age there to be worked up into
farming lands.
His death occurred at his home in
Dubuque, Ia, on Friday evening
last. He had been in poor health for
the past two years, but his sudden
death came to his friends most unex-
pectedly. He was about 65 years of
age and leaves wife and four grown
children-one son and three daughters.
We take the following notice of his
Herald of the 18th inst:
Jonathan 2. Scott, a pioneer buSi-
ness man Of Dubuque, died last night
at 9 O'Clock at his residence, 1912
Locust street. Mr. Scott had been in
failing health for several months, but
his condition was never considered
serious until two weeks ago, when he
was compelled to retire to his bed.
Death had been expected hourly ever
since.
Jonathan Pardee Scott was born in
Bridgewater, Oneida county, n. Y,
in 1882. He spent the early years of
his life in an activity that diminished
not until few years of his DEATH
Here he gained his education, which
was supplemented by course of study
at Clinton, N. Y. Entering CONNER
cial life, he was for several years in
business at Utica, n. Y, with Willard
& Sheffield, but left there in 1854,
bringing west with him a stock of dry
goods and settling in Dubuque. Here
the business was for time conducted
under the name of Barney, Scott &
Co., finally becoming Sheffield & Scott,
names familiar to all the older
Dubuquers.
In 1857 he married Miss Alice De
Wolf of Cleveland, Ohio, who survives
him with four children, Charles, Anna,
Mary and Mrs. Herbert Jones.
Close confinement to business
brought on i'll health which forced Mr..
Scott to retire from the above firm
and with Mr.. e. l.. Clark engaged in
the lumber business among the pine
woods Of Wisconsin. For thirty years
this was followed, until he recently
retired from active commercial life.
His open heart, ready interest and
fund of unfailing humor will remain
a pleasant memory for many years to
come.

Which Way, How Far and the Price.

There has been much speculation
as to what the exact distance to
Milwaukee would be by the new
Chicago & Northwestern line when it
is completed, and which Of the roads
here would "have a cinch" on the
passenger traffic between the two
points. To settle the question, we
took the pains to investigate the
matter this week and find that via the
Wisconsin Central the distance to
Milwaukee is 2l6 miles, via G.. Nj. &
ST. p, it is 185 miles, via G. g. n. w.
new line it will be 163 miles. via G.. B.
& w. and W. G.. it is 169 miles, via G.
B. & w. and G. & n. w. it is 1919
miles. The fare to Milwaukee is now
a.S5, or a few cents less than the
maximum rate would be on the short
est line, SO it does not appear that this
rate will be changed by the coming of
the new roads to Grand Rapids. 1t
also appears that no road will have a
cinch on the passenger business, not
SO much so in fact as there is at the
present time, while the accommoda-
tion to travellers cannot but be greatly
improved.
