Geo. Peck EXPLAINS.

Geo. Peck has been rather mixed up,
or the papers have gotten matters some
what so. Mr.. Peck straightens out
things, in letter to the Milwaukee
News as follows:
Editor Daily News: / am so frequent
ly alluded TO in Wisconsin papers, as
we'll as papers in other states, as the
leader of the Hearst movement in this
state, that feel an explanation is nee
essary. As you know, for ten months
| have been saying as kindly as | knew
how to say in regard to Mr.. Hearst's
availability as candidate, and of the
strong following he had among the
people, and signed call for the for
nation of a Hearst league in this state.
This was all before Wisconsin Demo-
Gratis had decided to bring out candi-
date for president. When the announce
ment was made that Hon. z. G. Wall
was to be brought out as Wisconsin's
candidate, met with the managers of
Mr.. Hearsts campaign, anu stated to
them that this new move, of which |
had been ignorant until that time placed
me IN peculiar position, as Mr.. Wall
was my nearest political friend, who
had managed three campaigns in which
ticket, and that he was supported now
by leading Democrats with whom had
fought Democratic battles for thirty
years, and that my duty was certainly
not to fight against my friend, as would
seem to be the case if | continued to
act IN the counsels of Mr. Hearst S
active supporters, and | asked them to
release me from further activity in the
campaign. All of the Hearst managers
agreed that should be absolved from
further prominence in the movement.
and since that time | have not acted
with any of the committee or organizers
and my name should not be used further
in the matter. by organizers or news
papers. make this statement now.
because | can see that in the coming
struggle for delegates in this state bit,
terness will be engendered, which | do
not desire to share or to be held in any
way responsible for
know that Mr. Wall is well quail
fed for the Office of president if he at
tains that position. / have worked be-
side him politically for twenty years
and know his great ability as we'll as
anyone. To his rare political iudg-
ment and sagacity as a manager the
| success of the Democratic party in
NlSCOuSlu lIOtll loJO 10 1880 is largely
due, when we had Democratic state Of
ticers, Democratic legislatures and two
Democratic United States senators. He
was my close adviser for four years
that | was in Office, so you can see that
| cannot stand in his way when he is a
candidate for office, and while circum-
stances make it impossible for me to
be active in the future, forreasons given
above, | will say that Mr.. Wallis work
of half life time for the Wisconsin
Democracy, bis ability and rare bust
ness qualities, his grasp of affairs of
| government, and his rare honesty and
unimpeachable integrity, has endeared
him to the Democrats of his native
state, and if his party honors him with
its support in his candidacy for the
! highest Office in the world, the party
| will honor itself, as well.
Yours truly,
GEORGE w. PECK.

Elephants and Mice.

An elephant is usually afraid Of any
small animal to which it is unaccus-
toned. A dog or cat, and sometimes
even a mouse, will cause him annoy
ance, especially if it runs between the
animals legs. The noise of a mouse
running through the hay will often
cause an elephant to become excited,
but have never known or heard OF
mouse getting on an elephants trunk.
The terrors of the mouse TO a larger
animal is an old story, and many fool
ish superstitions have arisen from it,

TIE Hearld in its last issue makes the
assertion that the PILOT editor is a
stakeholder in the Wausau Electric
company. This isa falsehood pure and
simple, and that paper has only to in
quire at the company's office to ascertain
that it is in error in this matter. This
is not to say that we would not take all
the stock in that concern we could get
could it be had and we could scratch up
enough of the filthy lucre to pay for it,
(which the Herald ought to know by
this time is mighty hard work to do in
print-shop) for we consider it fully as
honorable to own stock in that concern
as it to own it in bank, brewery or
any other business enterprise. Whether
the Wausau Electric company does the
lighting of our streets or not it cuts no
figure as to its permanency. as it can
furnish the best power known for small
factories and institutions needing mo-
tive power and before many years it
will be taxed to its utmost limit to fur
nish such powers.

Sneed Of Birds.

Frequently arguments arise as to the
speed with which wild birds fly, and
many men of science have sought to
determine something about it. Natu-
rally 1t is impossible to fix the record
made by such birds as grouse, quail and
snipe when they first arise, but it is
safe TO say that they are not going one
half as fast as the luckless gunner
who misses them imagines. With the
migratory fowls Of known fast fight,
such as ducks and geese, something
more nearly accurate is known. The
green winged teal is about the speediest
of them all. 1t does something like
ninety miles an hour as readily as
sparrow dives into an inviting rain
spout. The canvasback is only a trifie
slower. probably eighty-five miles being
its limit while the black duck, mallard
and redhead fall below this, being
timed at about eighty miles. Still this
is plenty fast enough to insure lots of
misses unless the fellow with the gun
looks down the rib straight and pulls
the trigger at the right time.

which opens the issue is called The Surrender" and is written by J. H. Twells, Jr. It is a pow- erful study of divorce, presented with great insight and feeling. The scenes, many of which are dramatic in the extreme, are laid in Paris, and the author reveals an intimate knowledge of the French capital.
 A timely essay by the distin- guished dramatist, Clyde Fitch, entitled "The Play and the Pub- lic,' 7 will be widely read and dis Ecussed. MT. Fitch writes from the inside, and everything he says on dramatic subject is spoken almost ex cathedra.

In different vein is George Hor- tons "The Office Hunters,' an amusing picture of political and social life in Washington.

 Burglar.
Burglar,

St. Louis, Oct. z. One of the boldest robberies ever perpe- trated in St. Louis occurred shortly after ' o'clock this morn ing, when a fashionably dressed man entered the apartments of A. B. Gaines, one of the owners of the Arlington and Eastman hotels at Hotoo Springs, and of the Jefferson hotel, St. Louis, on the fourth floor of the latter hos telry, and succeeded in escaping with seven diamond rings be- longing to Mrs. Gaines and a handsome gold watch, the prop erty of MT. Gaines, all valued at $3,OOO.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Gaines were asleep when the thief en- tered the room through the hall door, which had been left un- locked by Mrs. Gaines ten min Vtes before when she summoned "a bellboyl with ice water. Mrs. Mines, who had just dozed to

 Mrs. Gaines was now fully wake, but instead of calling her husband, who continued to sleep soundly, she again asked the thief what he meant. She says she thought he might have been an attache of the hotel, who had slipped in through a window, or a guest who had entered the wrong room.
 As she spoke the second time, he retired slowly through the door, raising his hat to her.
