POLITICAL DEALS.

| Tho present session of the Ken

III some rather remarkable state

Democratic senators politically hinted

District Attorney Jerome, Of New
York, has brought down the wrath Of
Chicago on his head by saying, while
there the other day, that one reason
there so much crime in the Windy
City was that the police were too lem
lent with the criminals they arrest.
In New York according to Mr.. Je-
rome, when a chronic crook is arrest
ed he is never brought in without bear
ing unmistakable evidences of his con-
tact with clubs and pi stols, and if no
other charge is available, he is slated
for resisting an officer, and his ap-
pearanoe usually bears out the allega-
ton. After be has served his term he
steers clear of the "tiy cop by shsk-
ing Gothaw's dust from his feet. MIR.
Jerome's theory was that crooks and
Migrants do not have TO do anything
in New York hut be seen by the po-
lice. They are promptly pinched, and
if they do not resist they are made TO
resis. so they can get what is coming
to them. The Chicago ministers have
landed a solar plexus ON Mr.. Jerome
for his advocacy of such cruel meth.
DDS, but he retorts that the end justi.
fies the means, and as it has thinned
out New York's criminal element ev'
erybody appears satisfied, unless 1t i;
the criminal himself.

SMILES AND TEARS.

From the New York Herald.
Through her tears my darling's smil-

And the world is bright again,
As, when saddened hearts beguiling,
Breaks the sunlight through the
rain;
To her lsshes still are olinging,
Crystals, quivering with her sighs,
Golden darts of sunshine fiiuging
From the rainbow Of her eyes.
All the days can not be rainless;
Skies cannot be always clear,
Darling's life can not be painless
Sorrows lurking somewhere near,
But since tears must come to sadden,
Bringing with them bitter signs
May the smiles that follow gladden.

A Kentucky congressman says in an
interview that Uleveland's nomination
by the Democrats would lose Ken
lucky to the Democrats, because there
are %, 200 former Populists who have
Joined the Democratic party in the
state, and to whom Clevelsnd's name

congressman, however, does not &C
count for the sound money, or Cleve-
land, element in the party, to whom
populistic candidate will be just as
unsatisfactory as Cleveland would be
TO the Populist wing. These sound

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1904-06-07
CAST OF CHARACTERS:

The play opened in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Roberts, who were arranging for a
dinner party. The objection was brought
before Mrs. Roberts as to whether it
was proper to have Mr.. Roberts at his
wife's dinner party. A few of the guests
arrived at the appointed time but Mrs.
Roberts is kept in great excitement
over the non-arrival of the others.
They finally decided the best way to
bring them along, was to sit down at the
table and not fret over their absence.
In the next act, the missing guests
were seen in an elevator. At first they
were very jovial, but soon the elevator
got stuck. Those people were now
very greatly excited and then questioned
the elevator boy whether there was any
possible means by which they could get
out; after hearing negative reply, one
of the party tainted, which caused still
more excitement. Mr.. Miller, however,
with a cool mind quiets them and then
he suggests that "all hollar at once at
each half minute until they are heard.
The next act again introduces Mr..
and Mrs Roberts who are still in utter
amazement over the non-arrival of the
other guests; a cry for help is finally
heard, which brings the other guests
assembled, who offer their assistance to
the party in the elevator, but request
them % keep quiet. Nothing was ac-
eomplshed until MIR. Campbell, a man
of great genius, comes in and, being
asked to assist, does so s.nd advises the
elevator boy to try to make the elevator
go down. This is finally done, then
the party is freed, and thus all the
guests meet. Most of them now went
to the dining room again, but Mr.. Bemis
and Miss LawtOn remain. While in the
Elevator Miss Lawton had requested Mr.
Bemis not to leave her. Seeing they
were now alone he asks her whether he
should now leave her, or if he could
lalways be by her side by becoming
her husband. She accepts the latter
proposition and then they also join the
ldinner party.
Every one took his part very well
and had il not been for the long wal
between the 6rst and second acts tn,
play would have been probably nor,
appreciated. But this delay could no
be helped, for the elevator was ver1
heavy and it took time to put il together

Proceedings Of Town Council
SPECIAL III EETING.

The council met IN special session this eve
ming IN the mayors office at the powerhouse.

the following aldermen present: Jas. Fortier
and JAS. Won Lotten, of the first ward and
j. b. Blum, of the third ward. Abseut-Louis

The Mayor stated that the meeting had been
called to consider proposition TO be made by
Men, relative to the Talbott-W hitney Carnival
Go. conducting street fair in Donaldsonville.
r. N. Slator and Alfred q. Whidden, repre-
seRtIng Mohawk Tribe and Z. G. Talbot. of the
Talbot Whitney Carnival Co.. appeared before
the council and presented the following petit
ton signed by the leading business men of the
town:

To the Hon. Mayor and Town Council Of Don
aldsonviile:
aantIemen-We, the undersigned business
men and merchants of Donaldsonville, do here
by petition your honorable body TO grant Me-
hawk Tribe No. 80. Improved Order of Red Men.
free licenses, lights and water, and use Of the
streets, for shows. and concessions for street
fair, TO be held under their auspices Dec. II to
Jan. /, inclusive, by the Talbot w hitney Car
nigal Co.
After general discussion, in which the senti-
ment of the council was favorable to the Red
Men, the following facts were explained: That
the town was not prepared to furnish the street
fair with 100 is candle power incaudescent and
arc lights; that to do this would require the
addition of at least two transformers, and as
the town was not urgently IN need OF them, he
council did rot think it well to buy for this par
ticniar occasion. The council then submitted
the following proposition: That if the Red Men
would furnish one of the transformers, the town
would buy the other and would supply the boye
lights at cost, Sc for each six hours of service.
would exempt them from all licenses, furnish
water for the high dive, and allow the use of
the streets.
The Red Men committee was informed that
the price of transformers ranged from $50 to
Sb5, but that possibly they could rent one which
would be acceptable to the electrician. The
matter was taken under advisement by the
committee.
The council adjourned.

Electric Railway at Irenaanier,s.

AT F. Z. Trepagnier's Palace drug
store IN Mississippi street may be seen
a very novel and attr active toy in the
shape of an electric railway, which
operates without a hitch and is COM
plete in every detail. Two lines of
tracks are arranged in a circle about
Il feet il diameter on a platform three
feet high, on one of which is an engine
and tender and on the other an en-
CINE, tender, baggage car and two
passenger coaches. The motive power
Is furnished by a series OF dry bat
teries connected to the steel rails,
which in turn transmit the current to
the locomotives. There is a station
from which semaphore signals are set
automatically, but owing TO the fact
that the tracks are circular instead Of
straight this feature OF the toy cannot
be operated in the limited space which
Mr.. Trepagnier has at his disposal
The railway was put1p by MIR. Ire

able young manager of the Palace
drug store, who extend a cordial in
vitation to the public 60 call and see

Street Fair During the Holidays.

Elsewhere in today's Chief will be
found the official proceedings Of a
special meeting of the town council
held Thursday night for the purpose
Of considering an application from
Mohawk Tribe No. 50, Improved Order
of Red Men, for permission to con-
duct a street fair at Donaldsonville
during holiday week. Besides the use
OF the streets, the Red Men requested
the town TO furnish them with free Ii
censes, water and electric lights. After
a long discussion, the council agreed
to permit the use Of the streets and
also to donate the licenses and water,
but the Red Men will be required to
paw for the lights and furnish one of
the two transformers that twill be nee
essary to install in order to furnish
the required illunin alton. The lodge,
through it's representatives, A. G.
Whidden. R. n. Slator, Jos. Gisclard,
w. Leblanc, Edmund Maurin and
A. j. Harding. yesterday decided to
accept this offer and have closed with

PAW for street fair to be held here
from Dec. "A to Jan. |, inclusive.
Messrs. Whidden and Slator called
upon a few of the leading business
men of the town yesterday afternoon.
and have already secured a sufficient
amount to guarantee the Red Men from
loss in the venture. The Talbot
