RooseveIts Newspaper Friends,

If you want to ard out all about the
uncomplimentary things that the New
York World, and other Eastern news
papers say about Roosevelt, read the
Milwaukee Sentinel. Those Eastern
newspapers do not circulate liz Wis
consin, and it is valuable service the
Sentinel gives readers in reproducing
for them these Eastern editorials I'M
complimentary to the republican can
didate. That however is not the object
of the Sentinel. Its purpose is to not
only inform its readers that unkind criti-
cizms are made upon candidate Roose-
welt by Eastern newspapers but further
to attempt to show that those criticisms
are unsound. To man up tree it
would seem that if republican news
papers in the West did not spread
among their readers these erroneous
impressions of Teddy their readers
would not know what was being said
of him by his eastern neighbors who
know him best, and the further effort
to confute the SANDER, after giving it
wings, would not ne necessary.

M. E. CHURCH CORNER STONE.

The corner stone of the new church
in process of erection by the M. E.
congregation of Wausau will be laid at
300 O'Clock next Friday afternoon,
Aug. 18th. There will be number of
distinguished visitors present, and the
ceremonies quite extensive, interesting
and in keeping with the occasion. The

lection of newspapers, coins and other
articles to commemorate the date
which will be placed in the re-
ceptacle of the stone at the time the
latter is placed in the wall Besides
Bishop McCabe, who comes here from
Philadelphia, to participate in the
ceremonials, there will be many other
persons from outside towns present on
the occasion. The work of building the
foundation walls is nearly completed
and in short time the force of men at
work will begin the erection of the
superstructure and the contract calls
for the church being completed by Jan.
1st The contractor is an Appleton
man, Smith by name, ana re promises
the congregation a splendid church
substantial in construction and modern
in every detail.

GOOD PERFORMANCES.

Gentry Bros. shows gave two perfor-
mances at Warren park, Friday last
The show carries a large number of
well trained ponies and dogs and the
manner in which the little animals per-
formed was something remarkable.
They rendered several new and difficult
stunts the like of which has never
before been seen in this city. The tab
leaux, termed Flags of All Nations in
which some two dozen ponies and
herd of elephants participated, was the
opening number on the program. From
that time on for fully two hours and a
half there was something doing" every
minute The military drill and cake
walking and.waltzing ponies made de-
cided hits.
The program closed with the acrobat
ic and balancing work of "a troupe of
japanese. These little people from the
far East, six in number, eclipsed any
thing in their special line ever presented
before local audience.
The company left two of its ponies in
this city in its hurry and they were
picked up next morning by City Treas
Henry Juers. Next day two of the
company's attaches came here from
Neillsville and got the ponies,

The Kempf Case.

The republican state treasurer was
found to be short So, 400 of the cash
paid to him for sale of state lands. He
had received that amount over and
above what he had accounted for. Be
ing a candidate for reelection he was
informed by Gov. LaFollette that he
must make good the deficiency and get
off the ticket He has complied with
both these demands, though. not being
a wealthy man he had to skirmish
around pretty lively for few days to
raise the cash. Now he claims that
the trouble was caused by mistake in
bookkeeping But So 400 is rather a
large sum for Mr.. Kempf to have ex-
pended over and above what belonged
to him without noticing it. He promised
to make an explanation for the public,
but he did not make any.
Kempf. although nominated by the
regular convention of his party, was Mt
heart sympathizer with tine stalwart
faction. When any of the lights of
that faction visited Madison they made
his office in the Capitol their head
quarters. He also employed lot of
stalwart clerks, who acted as spies
upon the republican state officers, SO
that the LaFollette plans were usually
given to the stalwart newspapers very
strangely and Unexpectedly. Hence
il is not wonderful that the governor
was ready To Dust him the first good
opportunity.
The stalwart papers win not, of
course, come out openly and defend
Kempf, and they are at their wits end
to make some use of the trouble that
will operate to the injury ofthe COVER
nor. But without concerted action
without any agreement before hand as
to the best method of handling the
matter they have made funny tumble
of it, Some of them say kempf was
singled out for punishment, because of
his stalwart sympathies although not
more guilty than three or four other
state officers Others say that he

PRESS NOTICE.

The Progressive Entertainers, who
are booked to play in the Grand opera
house Tuesday, Aug 8, present ereden-
tails from people whose Judgment must
be respected. and from all indications
they are giving n performance that is
we'll worthy of good patronage. One
of their principal features is the presen-
tation of the entire story of Robinson
Crusoe, in moving pictures, accom-
panied with scenic effects which make
the performance appear marvelously
realistic. We are all well familiar with
the lines of this thrilling story, and its
memories are connected with our earli-
est and dearest impressions, and this is
presumably the reason why this COM
pany has received so many compliments
from their reproduction, on this score,
from both young and grown. The de
tails are said to be brought out remark
ably we'll illustrated songs, and NOV
ing scenes from the Russo-Japanese
war will swell the program, while the
mora instructive part will consist in a
brief talk, by Mr. w r. Stokes, of St.
Paul, on the prehistoric ages of this
earth, long before the appearance of
man upon the globe. In connection
with this there will be scientifically
correct illustrations of the peculiar ami
mails and plant life belonging to these
remote periods of time. The combina-
ton of instruction and amusement, to
this degree, is rather new departure
in the show business, and we feel that
it deserves good encouragement. The
prices are popular, Is, % aud 50 cents

Liars VIII Figure. +"

Figures won't lie." Verv true. Fig
ures won't do anything if they are left
alone 1t is also true that Liars will
figure" And when liars figure they
can and do make figures lie. Carroll ID.
Wright's half truths have become no
torious examples of this. And half
truth is one form of lie. Carroll ID.
Wright is the Republican appointee at
the head of the labor bureau, Washing
ton, ID. G. And we never hear of him
except just before some important po-
litical campaign. At those periods he
always comes out with report de-
signed to be used as campaign docu-
ment and which shows by figures
that is by such part of the figures as he
sees tit to publish, that wages constant
~ increase faster than the prices of
commodities. Ofcourse it isvery plain,
from Wright's figures, that as the thing
is bound to continue so long as his par
ty is in power there is nothing for the
trusts to do except to fight against the
republican party to get ready for bank
ruptcy. For if wages constantly in
crease faster than the price of labor's
products, the time must inevitably
come when the poor trusts will have to
pay out more for labor than they can
sell their goods for. But is it not
wonder the trusts did not find out
about this? The trusts have been help
ing the republican party all the time
and according to Wright's figures that
party has been their worst enemy.

There is not so much difference be-

for LaFollette before the state conveu-

ably due to some error in bookkeep-
ing, apparently striving by such means
to enlist Mr. Kempf and his friends

would seem to an outsider to be the
most reasonable inference.
