ON THE LATINRACEs

BERNHARDT ON THE LATIN RACES
4 the "Cornhin Magazine" Madame
Sarah Bernhard writes OF The
Moral Influence OF the Theater." Ap-
ropos OF this fact. few satiricaI remarks
have been made. but these have nothing
TO do with the intrinsic value of the
article What is particularly notable in
her views is the arraignment OF the
Latin races with regard to the theater.
We have always held that the Latins
were essentially dramatic and lovers
of the drama. but Madame Bernhard
says:
1T is sad, very sad, 70 have to say
that the Latin races are those who have
the least love for the theater. and it
may be due to the indisputable fact
that these same races are struggling
against decadence.
The Spanish. French. and Italians do
not take the theater seriously enough.
The French seem to like going
to the theater merely TO amuse them

COUNCIL MEETING.

An adjourned meeting of the common
council was held Tuesday evening and
the lowing matters were presented: !:
Hopke Il Sell submitted a proposition
to put a new steel roof on the east side
engine house for $675. The PROPOSE
ton was referred to the committee on

tications and report at the next meet
ing.
W. r. Chellis requested that the

The following is taken from the

Northern Wisconsin are kept with

weight, as to their truthfulness, than
the potato and water melon stories of
Kansas, In that state it is reported
that potato was not properly blocked
and rolled down the hill from farm
and destroyed the buildings of a good
sized village; later, waite: melon
bursted on the same farm and drowned
what people were not killed by the
potato. So, remember there is limit
Read what the Tomahawk says, viz:
Probably the largest potato that ever
grew in Northern Wisconsin or in this
state for that matter, was brought to
light last week on the Bardeen farm
near the Spirit Falls. Mrs. f. Bardeen
in preparing dinner for the family
went out to dig few potatoes and the
very first one that was discovered
measured inches in diameter and was
nine inches long. The potato could
not be extracted without the aid of an
AK as it was lodged beneath a root.
The potato crop in the neighborhood
of Spirit Falls this year is said to ex-

SEPTEMBER WEATHER.

Rev. Irl Hicks, the well known
wealth prognosticator, whose ''prognos-
tications" are believed in by some peo-
pie as faithfully as the Musselman be-
lieves in Allah, delivers himself of the
following for the balance of September,
The strong probabilities are that
threatening, unsettled, stormy weather
will begin during the period from Sep
tember IA to l9, and run into the re-
dictionary period central on September
20 to %. If many active storms do not
occur, there will almost certainly be a
prolonged spell of unseasonably warm
weather, followed by severe seismic
shakes in many parts of this and other
countries.
The last storm period for the month
is central on September 27, extending
from Sept. % to 30. This period viii
bring series of severe storms, the
crisis of which will fall on and touch
ing September 26 to %. This is also
period in which dangerous gulf
storms may reasonably be expected,
At the wind up of this period a sweep
ing high barometer out of the north
west will bring severe dash of autumn
nal weather, with high boreal winds,
clearing skies and frosts in many places
in northern and central states. This
final elimination may not reach most
sections before the opening days of
October, but such change is almost a
certainty before the end of the distur-
bance which is central on September

IMPORTANT CASE.

Attys. M b. Rosenberg and NJ A.
Hurley departed Wednesday last for
Madison to appear before the supreme
court next day for the purpose of ar
guing case in which this city is the
complainant and W. H. Heideman
IS defendant. 1t will be remembered
that some months ago, Heideman and
albert Donovan, two salesman of the I.
A. Chapman Co. of Milwaukee, came to
the city and began making aS house to
house canvas for orders upon their
house for dry goods. The local associa-
ton of retail merchants caused their
arrest because they had not provided
themselves with the necessary license
as provided by the city ordin-
ance. They were represented by
q Milwaukee attorney, who claimed
the ordinance unconstitutional and
he desired an immediate trial that
the case might be carried to the highest
court. The defendants were found
guilty in municipal court and fined but
IN appeal was taken and the case final
ly brought into the supreme court.
Tae case against Heideman was taken
as one to test the constitutionality of
the law, the Chapman company wish
ing TO determine whether it has the
right to send such agents through the
country without being interfered with,
and the city being equally desirous of
ascertaining whether it can make the
law stand upon its feet. A decision in
this case should therefcIe be of interest
to all merchants, wholesale and retail,
and every city and village throughout
the state.

THE STATE FAIR NOT TASUCCESS.

G. d. Jones and l.. K. Wright were
in attendance at the state fair in Mil
waukee last week, and among others
told what they thought of the fair in
plain language. In an interview with
a Sentinel reporter they expressed
themselves as follows:
CD. JONES.
"The Wisconsin fair does not com
pare with the exhibits of other states, =
said e. d. Jones of Wausau. While
the stock exhibits are fine, they are not
what they ought to be. The speed pro-
gram with the amount of purses ought
to command bigger field of horses. !"
Tx WRIGHT
One of the successful fair officials of
the state is Louis X. Wright of Wausau.
who for many years has been the secre-
tary of the fair association of that coun-
try. '"fhere is undoubtedly lack of
progressiyeness on the part of the man
agement here, and too much politics
in the construction of the board" he
said. Men ought to be selected who
have some ability along these lines, and
not for the number of votes they can
possibly deliver to a political party
The sanitary arrangements here are
simply vile and have been SO for
years. There is no excuse for a condi-
ton OF this sort, and shows that the
board has little consideration for the
comfort of visitors Another thing
which to my mind works against the ex-
hibitCrs from distance is the fact that
a So entry fee is charged. This entities
the exhibitor to bring as much stuff as
he desires, while the exhibitor from
away can not make a proper showing
without greater expense, For instance,
a farmer in Marathon county may have
an excellent showing of grain. 1t costs
So to enter it here, while the farmer
near here can enter any number, of
samples in the same exhibit or class.
The proper way would be to charge
percentage of the amount of the pre-
MUM competed for.
High priced attractions should be
provided to draw patronage Take the
midway out of here, and who would
care to see the attractions. There is a
difference between attractions and
fakes, and this difference goes to make
