Democratic Wigwam is Wrecked.
Saturday evening the seventh ward
democrats were happy because their
new WigWam at Sixteenth avenue 8
and Lake street, had just been COM
pleted and was to be dedicated to-
night to the work Of the campaign.
Then the storm caught the structure
fairly and crushed it with ease, leav-
ing nothing but pile of twisted,
broken timbers as a relic Of the build
ing of which they were so proud.
The only dwelling destroyed was the
new house being! erected for L. A..
Page, 1927 Logan avenue S. The
building was nearly completed, the
Saturday morning. The house stood
well in the way of the storm, which
struck it with all. its, fury. 1t pushed
the building off the foundation, and
but for two trees which stood be-
tween it and the residence Of R. q.
Ford, 1926 Logan avenue S, the ruins
would have wrecked the south wall
Pages house is over $1,000, while
Ford will suffer a material loss.
At IT'S Cedar avenue, an old store
building, the first story of which was
used as g. marble works, was blown
from it's foundation and wrecked.
In addition to these losses there was
the destruction Of the dry kiln at the
Milwaukee shops near Southtowr
Junction and the scattering of a large
quantity Of carefully seasoned lumber
over a large territory; the blowing
down of a heavy carrier at the Min
neapolis Steel Machinery company
which wrecked two freight cars, and
the damaging of scores Of buildings
Then there was the damage to tele-
phone and telegraph wires and to the
electric light and street railway
cables. All Of these go to make {
large total Of the property loss sui
fered by the city.

that these two drew to each other with
more than brotherly affection. When

The kaieer's Salary.

William IL. as emperor does not
receive a single groschen from the
imperial e1chequer, and he has to
keep up his imperial state out of
his income as king of Prussia, which
in the year after his ascension was
raised by S625,O0O, his civil list as
king being now over $3,750,000,
which is far larger than that of his
English uncle. The only thing that
King William IL. ever got from the
empire was his present of palatial
yacht, which was built and paid for
as "tirst class cruiser. First class
it is, but not cruiser. Otherwise
it is the Prussian people who have
to pay for the luxury of being ruled
over by king who ex otiicio is Ger

1t was great triumph, but Bill dis
played no sign of elation. He was
rather full of sympathy for williams
and eager to help on the lumber bust
ness as n local "institooshun."
Second in command in the church
building enterprise stood Lady Char
lotte, and under her labored the Hon.
Fred, the Duke. and. indeed, all the
Company of the Noble Seven. Her
home became the center of new type
Of social life. With exquisite tact-and
much was needed for this kind Of
work-she drew the bachelors from
their lonely shacks and from their
wild carousals and gave them taste
Of the joys of pure home life. the
first they had had since leaving the
old homes years ago. And then she
made them work for the church with
such zeal and diligence that her hus-
band and the Duke declared that
ranching had become quite an Incl
dental interest since the church build
ing had begun. But the Pilot went
about with u radiant look on his pale
face, while Bill gave 1t forth as his
opinion. though she was leetle high
In the action, she could hit an uncom-
mon gait"
With such energy did Bill push the
work of construction that by the 1st
of December the church stood rooted,
sheeted. fioored and ready for windows,
doors and ceiling, so that the Pilot be-
gan to hope that he should see the de-
sire Of his heart fulfilled-the church
Of Swan Greek open for divine service
on Christmas day.
During these weeks there was moro
than church building going on, for
while the days were given to the shap-
ing of logs and the driving Of nails
and the planning of boards the long
winter evenings were spent in talk
around the fire in my shack. where the
Pilot for some months past had made
his home and where Bill, since the be-
ginning of the church building. had
come 'to camp" Those were great
nights for the Pilot and BILL and in
deed for me, too. and the other boys,
who, after days work on the church,
were always brought in by Bill or the
Pilot.
Great nights for all of us they were.
When the pipes were lighted then cans
yarns of adventures, possible and i'm
possible, all exciting and wonderful,
and all received with the greatest cre-
dulity.
Happy nights, without a care, but
that the Pilot would not get the ghast-
ly look out of his face, and laughed at
the idea of going away till the church
was built. And. indeed, we would all
have sorely missed him, and 80 be
