election law which will improve our
present caucus and convention laws,
and that will give each and every voter
the best opportunity to express his
choice in the nomination of candidates.
Resolved. That we have the utmost
confidence in Senator John G. Spooner.
and favor his reelection to the United
States senate, without condition.

THE P0ETICAl WORKS OF
HENRY ]. MCKAY.
wausan pilot oalee. wansau. WIS


The handsome face of Mr. Mckay
looks benevolently upon the reader in
the frontispiece, and he tells us that his
book "is the result Of several years of
intermittent glimpses at tie wonders
and beauties of nature lying at our own
doors, aud of the stEivings of the spirit
within the writer as he felt their
influence upon his thought and life"
Many of us have felt the same way, but
have not been able 10 get into type as
Mr.. Mckay has. There are over a hun
dred poems, many of them inspired by
the beauties of nature and the 5ugles of
war, but even MIR. Mckay loses his radi-
ant inspiration sometimes, for he gives
us this:
sitting at the table
With his pen and ink,
Thoughtfully the poet scratch. his head;
Friction oft repeated
Sleepy brain defeated,
And the poet wrote and went to bed.
Tossing IN his slnlnber,
Dreaming of his fame,
Autocrat 'mong poets, he was one;
He dreampt of his power,
But for one short hour.
Then he lost his vision with the sun.

vice, and will long be remembered by the
dough boys. 1t would be hard to pick
out any single act of bravery as each
and every man was doing his duty, and
doing it in an effective way. Lieut.. vi
cars at the head of his company Cd was
leading his men over the trenches, and
getting in range of one of these can
non, was hit by the entire charge,
which carried away nearly his whole
head. Sergt Beckley, Co. f, was hit
by slug just under the eye, the slug
leaving at the back of his neck. Capt.
Moore, Co. b, was hit by bolo and just
escaped by a scratch His head was cut
from front to back The men were
lifting others on to their shoulders so
they could fire over the wall and pick
off the Moro gunners. This kind of
fighting lasted until almost dark, when
we fell back TO about 300 yards and took
a strong position for night. OF course
it rained hard, which made it very un-
comfortable for all, but more especially
for the wounded, who had no shelter to
speak of. We worked most of the night
making ladders Of bamboo to use in
sealing the walls, but when daylight
came ehe white flag was flying over the
fort III place Of the old blood red rag Of
the Moros, and one more victory was
added to the credit Of the L. S. army,
and the first victory to the regimental
colors Of the 27th Y s. Infantry. Upon
enteyaag the fort, 81 Moros surrendered
and were placed under strong guard
and later upon making a vicious attempt
10 escape were almost wiped out. Oar
loss ia the battle was one officer and
seven men killed; four officers and
thirty men wounded. What the
Moro loss was have no idea, but the
lesson they received wont be soon for

Irish drama, but has been constructed
on original lines with a touch of real
American humor that is at all times re-
freshing This accounts for the fact
that it is one of the greatest successes
of the stage for years. Everywhere it
is greeted as masterpiece of realism.
Its story is interestingly told while the
comedy that is interspersed ii liberal
quantity lends brightness and cheer
fulness that is all its own. Close atten-
ton has been paid to all the details and
the production can be appropriately
called complete in every respect.

horse falling and the pole striking a
paving block which threw the buggy
up in the air, but they continued their
course and turning north on Third
street struck DR.. Trevitts buggy
where they were freed from their own
vehicle. They ran up Third street,
which was crowded with teams at that
time, and continued their flight to the

stopped Of their own accord. 1t was a
very lucky mishap in the fact that no
one was injured.

Old Rules For Might Policemen


Old Boston is wildly brought to
mind by the following excerpt from
the selectmen's minutes. dated Nov. l,
1863. containing instructions to watch
men:
I'm going the rounds care must be
taken that the watchmen are not noisy,
but behave themselves with strict de-
eorum. that they frequently give the
time of the night and what the wealth
er is with distinct but moderate
voice. excepting at times when it is
necessary to pass in silence in order to
detect and secure persons that are out
on unlawful actions.
You and your division must en-
deavor to suppress all routs. riots and
other disorders that may be committed
in the night and secure such persons
as may be guilty. that proper steps
may be taken next morning for a
prosecution as the law directs. We alb
solutely forbid your taking private
satisfaction or any bride that may be
offered you to let such go or to conceal
their Offense from the selectmen."
