WASHBURN is soon to be a CITY,
and the people should get TO-
gether and exercise the same
spirit of interest in the upbuild-
of the place that they have in
bringing about incorporation.
Such work for your place is
bound to count.

The same old fight over state
affairs is surely coming, and
there will be the usual tussel in
nearly every town and county in
the state over who shall have the
delegations to the state conven.
ton. And to the observer way
up here in the woods of north
ern Wisconsin the question can
not but often recur as to wheth-
er the shot is worth the powder.

THE probabilities are that
there will be but one state con-
vention this year, and that will
be held in May, at which time
there will be nominated a state
ticket. and delegates will be
chosen TO the repu blican national
convention. The action taken
by the state central committee
in doing away with two conven-
tions, and in putting all the
work up to one convention has
caused state wide comment, and
it is charged that the action of
the committee is in the interest
of control by the state admins
tration. To the average person,
however, it would seem to be
just. as we'll to have the whole
matter up and out of the way at
one time. The convention IN
May can just as we'll take up the
whole affair and dispose of it as
to have the state tight dragging
along through half the summer.

Luse is one of the leading law

vantage in this part of the state
Of being a northern Wisconsin

BASEMENT WOULD
 NOT SUIT ALDERMEN

The board of public works is apt to have some trouble with the aldermen before the question of changes in the City. hall building is settled. Some claim that the aldermen ought to be up stairs instead of on the first floor, all of which is needed for other purposes, and others want to know if suitable place could not be fitted up for the city fathers in the basement of the building. Those who take the latter view of the case point to the new town store and contend that a place done off as that is would be all right for the aldermen. They never meet in the daytime, so that the matter of light ing cuts no figure in it at all. It is probable that the aldermen would re- sent such course in case it should be pursued, for while meeting place in the basement might be well enough in the cold weather, nobody could stay there during the summer.

BOARD INVESTIGATED
 TROLLEY APPLICATION

Mayor Elton and the obard of pub lie works investigated the application of the trolley company for approval of its plans to construct turnouts and double track certain streets and for the extension of the service from Cole street to the Pearl lake road by way of Franklin, Baldwin and Chapel streets yesterday. The board will hold another session later to consider the questions involved. It is likely that the Baldwin street portion of the application will be acted upon separ- ately. There is nothing complicated in that part of the program. The street is in fine shape to the old city line and from that point to the Pearl lakes road working the street to the established width is all that needs at tention. If the company gets its plan approved on condition that it meets all the cost incident to the work it will reach out for it in hurry, that is, provided it means what it says. If not it will hesitate and use this as lever to pull other projects through whether they have any con- nection with 1t or not.

FIRST CUSTOMER "~
 FARES THE WORST,

4 few prominent citizens were dis cussing the liquor question in the court house this morning, and finally the sub ject turned onto the part fusil oil plays in the pesky stuff. One man said that unless the vessel is well shook up in the morning the first customer stands a good show of getting a dose of fusil oil that will send him to the mad house instead of a bracer. Judge Cowell thought the danger from this source minimized considerably since the in- troduction of the new plan Of curing liquors. Until recently liquor had to grow old, the same as other articles of merchandise, but now they are able to make 1t any age they want the day it comes from the distillery by means of electricity. The judge didn't know whether the new process would inn prove the quality of the stuff Or not
 but he had no hesitation in saying that he was confident that 1t could not go far below the old standard. s..

PENSION BILL.
Senator Platt for Harbor Bill--lnventions by Con-
 necticut Men.
Especial to Democrat }

Washington, March 1O-The house committee on invalid pensions has re- ported the following Connecticut pen sion bills: William J. F. Buck of An sonia, at $50 per month; Mrs Phoebe A. Ford of Meriden, SIP per month;
 Mrs Sarah L. Augur of New Haven, at $l7 Der month; John Walton. Sol d1ers' home, Noroton Heights, at SPA per month, and William York of Mid dlebury, at SPA Der month.
 The first four were senate bills, hay ing been introduced by Senator latt.
 Buck served in Company D, Second
 Connecticut Heavy Artillery. Mrs
 Ford is the widow of R. M. Ford, who
 served in Company c. Eighth Connect- cut Volunteers. Mrs Augur is the 1 widow of Lieutenant William H. Augur Of the Seventh Connecticut Vol
 unteers Walton served in Company IS, Tenth Connecticut Volunteers, and
 York served in Company K, Eighth Connecticut Volunteers. The last bill was introduced by Congressman Sperry.
 New Haven Harbor Bill. The bill introduced by Senator Platt in the senate and Congressman Sperry in the house for the modification of New Haven harbor passed the senate ! yesterday afternoon with an amend ment. As amended the bill provides for an extension of the original project so as to make the channel in Qunni, piac river from Tomlinson bridge to Ferry street bridge twenty feet deep and of such increased width as may be desirable and practicable, provided there shall be no increase of cost in
 the original appropriation on account Of fhiS modification
 The bill will now go to the house, but 1t is doubtful is it can be taken up l this session of congress, as there will be no. river and harbor bill. The
 house committee has even decided not to authorize any surveys this year.
 There is still some hope, however, that the committee will make up one gen.
 eral bill of all projects that do not re- quire additional appropriations, and 1 pass such a bill This New Haven
 project would come under that head,
 and so would the Bridgeport matter.
 Both Congressman Sperry and Con- gressman Hill are doing their best to
 convince the committee of the wisdom l of such course.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit of Is matter attained by un.' daunted persistence in matters Onl quality and littleness Of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred- It proposition ever offered to the pulp lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Co.
 Anybody can buy for casnl That's easy. There's no special honor in tna fact that one can walk into a store, lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become tlle possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of proposition. n mere transaction. To have credit given you Is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to it. What great honor it is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching it's beneficial effectss.
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity. To buy for cashs then, is very ordinary. But to buy on; credit is always distinction that onal should be proud of.

A Dead Moose.

When a bull moose lies dead in the
forest he looks like some strange ante
diluvian animal, with his square pre-
hensile muffle and horns spreading lat
orally, a popularity which he shares
with the prehistoric Irish elk and the
nearly extinct European elk .of later
times. The huge form tells Of strength
and swiftness, and withal the still dan
gerous gleam of the eye, glazed in its
last stare, bids the hunter pause and
feel almost guilty of crime in the de-
struction of so much that is grand and
weird, feeling very different from the
sentiment supposed to attend the
slaughter of a deer. But the triumph
of mastering the wariest and bravest
animal in the,woods by fair still hunt
ing and by grimly sticking to the track
for many a weary mile amply atones
for any regrets.

TOBACCO SALARIES.
ACustom of the American Colonies
Before the Revolution.

A Custom of the American Colonies
Before the Revolution.
Before the Revolution, ministers of
tie Anglican church in those American
colonies where that church was estab-
lished By law were remunerated 'sin
afssS" Instead Ct IN p1aney. Maryland
gave an incumbent forty pounds of to-
bacco year for every tithe payer in
the parish, whether churchman Or dis
senter, white or colored. These terms
were handsome enough to secure the
pick of the clerical market In Vir-
ginia the stipends represented fixed
and unvarying quantity, by weight, Of
the MANUFACTURED leaf. These stipends
were rather beggarly in quantity. In
a bad year even the "sweet scented
parishes" where the minister's salary
was calculated on a high priced and
exceptionally fragrant tobacco, yielded
only about $500 year. The parishion-
ers sometimes refused to induct cler-
gyman unless he would consent to take
175S, when the price of tobacco had
greatly risen, the house of burgesses
passed law fixing the cash equivalent
of, debts payable in tobacco at one
third their true value, thus wiping out
two-thirds of the incomes Of ministers.
Patrick Henry made his first fame in
defending this law when a test case
was brought in behalf of the injured
clergymen.

New York, Nov. 30.-Refused
permission to do hard labor at the
penitentiary at Joliet, two confessed
murderers have begun proceedings
in the circuit court to secure their
freedom. Judge Windes issued
writs of habeas corpus for the men,
George Cantos and P. Pettinatto,
and will hear evidence in their
cases tomorrow.
When Judge Hutchinson sent
the men to prison five years ago he
ordered that they be put at hard
labor. The sentsnce is attacked be-
cause the court is alleged to have
decreed the men to serve part of
their IA years each in solitary con-
finement. The prisoners allege that
they may become insane from in
activity. They declare they have
been ready to work, but that since
July 1 1t has been denied them.
The sentence as carried out since
the suspension of labor in the pris-
on is said to be cruel, inhuman and
prohibited by the constitution of
Illinois.

Sneak Thieves In Churches.

An old sexton was discussing the
amount Of stealing that is done in
churches. Scarcely a day passes" he
said, 'when the church is open with
out some distracted woman coming to
me bowed down with grief because
somebody has stolen her purse. There
are certain contemplate thieves who
prey on unsuspecting women who
pray SO hard that they forget to look
after their pocketbooks. The thief
watches until the woman is deep in
prayer and then leans over, grasps the
purse and sneaks out."-Philadelphia

teacher of the Mount Pleasant

Testimony showed she frequently
punished the pupils and that she
had refused toRsubmit to the In
structions of her principal, had or
dered members of the school board
out Of her room and had defied pub
lie sentiment. Still she refused to
resign, and conducted her defense
with rare skill.
Nonplussed for a way to discom-
fit her, the lawyer for the school
board called Miss Benefits pupils,
and said:
''All who like their teacher, hold
up your hands,"
Not hand was raised.
"All who do rot like their teach
er, hold up your hands,"
Twenty pairs Of tiny hands were
raised.
Then Miss Bennett broke down
and wept, handed in her resigna-
ton and the trial ended.
