.HelIo Girlr starts Trouble.

\ hello girl in Racine, like some
other girls could not keep a secret.
One day a well-known business man
called for n certain number and was
soon engaged in animated conversa-
ton with a lady at the other end of
the phone. The hello girl listened
and heard the well-known BUSINESS
man address the person on the other
end in terms of endearment. When
he said goodbye" the hello girl
immediately rang up the business
mans wife and repeated to her the
conversation she had heard over the
phone.
That night there was trouble in the
home of the Racine business man.
OF course he made n point blank de-
NAL. His wife did not tell him how
she got her information. Later she
employed a detective who Swallowed
the husband and found evidence
which the wife will use in proceed
ings for divorce.
Meantime the hello girl has been
discharged as the company has rule
which prohibits It's employees from
telling tales out of school.
But tie incident has its moral.

Republicans in Trouble.

ing" the School Fund and issu.
ing a "lot of worthless certiti-
Gates of Indebtedness" is get
ting a number OF distinguished
Republican statesmen into
trouble.
The Honorable Benjamin
Franklin Russell of Crawford
County, Speaker of the Repub.
lican House of 1895, subsequ-
emily Sergeant.at.Arms of the
lower house of Congress, and
now candidate for Congress in
the new Sixteenth District, has
found it necessary to publish
an attempted explanation of
his vote while in the Legislat'
ure in favor of issuing certiti
cate of indebtedness.
Along with the organs Of his
party Mr.. Russell has been
furiously denouncing the
Democracy for the School Fund
legislation of the past thirty
years. Recently The Republic
had occasion to publish list
of prominent Republicans who
had voted to issue these certiti
Gates of Indebtedness to the
School Fund which the Repub
lican party managers are now
declaring to be worthless. Elk
Speaker RusselI's name is con.
spicuous among the number
who voted for the bill.
In his attempted explanation,
Mr.. Russell says: THE Repub'
lie on several occasions has
stated that several Republicans
in the Legislature of 1895 voted
in favor of an unlawful taking
Of the school moneys Of the
! State and using them for cur
rent expenses and issuing certi
ticates of Indebtedness there
for"
The Republic has charged nc
such thing and no one know:
this better than this Republi
can candidate for Congress.
What The Republic charges
and what the records show tt
be true is that the first Certiti
cate Of Indebtedness was issued
under the Liberal Republic al
administration of Governor b
Gratz Brown. for the sum o
100000, to reimburse thu
schools for that amount o
school moneys used by the Re
publican administration o
Governor Fletcher in tn re
duction of the State debt; tina
party lines were not drawn il
the passage of this act, nor il
the subsequent issuing of certi
ticates; that the Republican
House of 1895, Of which Mr.
Russell was Speaker, passed al
act authorizing the issue of a
additional certificate for owe
800, 900, and that no part OF tn
school moneys for which cert
ticates had been issued ha
been used for current eS
expenses"

DEMOCRATS CAUCUS TONIGHT.

Common Council

40 Nominate Officers of the Court of
Common Council.
The democratic members of the new
court of common council which, is to
organize June 2, will caucus this even
ing at city hall for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidates for assistant city
clerk, president of the board of alder
men, which will hereafter constitute the
common council and for two members
Of the board of finance The indications
are that James B. Martin, who has ably
filled the office of assistant city clerk
for several terms will be renominated
by the caucus. There is some opposi-
tion which cannot, it is believed how
ever, defeat Mr.. Martin for renomina-
tfon. The opposition candidate is L. ].
Maher. There will be eighteen votes in
the caucus and it is said that Mr.. Mar
tin Will receive at least eleven Of these.
He has host Of personal friends who
VIII support him regardless of any
other political Affiliations.
For the nomination for president of
the board there are two avoWed candi-
dates, Alderman James Logan of the
Seventh ward and Alderman George
Wallace of the Eleventh ward. Both
are able men and popular and the con-
test will doubtless be close one. Mr..
Logan's friends claimed last night that
enough votes were pledged to him to
secure for him the nomination. On the
other hand the friends of Mr. Wallace
claim that he will be nominated if hard
work avails anything. For member of
the board of finance the only democrat
thus far mentioned is Alderman e. G..
Frederick, who has very creditably
served on the finance board during the
past year as the councilmanic member
Of the board. Mr.. Frederick is familiar
with the duties and his friends say
that he is entitled to a reelection by
