The people of central and northern
Wisconsin believe it is high time that
this part of the great State of

the location of one of it's United

good judgement of the coming
legislature will look at it in this
same light and that Wood County
may be able to furnish said candidate.

A Russian Shopper.

The Countess Cassini, daughter Of
the Russian ambassador, is an inde-
fatigable shopper. She delights in
matching silks. selecting trimmings
and looking for bargains feminine
pastine most fashionable women
leave to dressmakers.
The countess is usually accompan-
led on her shopping expedition by a
lovuble French maid, who renders
her young mistress more or less cor
spicuous. She is never quite able to
keep pace with the countess, who fits
form counter to counter, chatting en-
Enthusiastically about prices and fash
ions. The maid is always rushing
about, demanding of the clerks,
"Where is re Countess? Have you
seen ze Countess-ze Countess Cas-
sini?"
Then the clerks explains that the
countess has just LETT the counter, the
floor walker joins in the pursuit, and
there is something of commotion in
the crowded department store, which
is altogether pleasing to the general
public.
The orders of the countess are so
generous that the shopmen are ready
and willing to please her. II she
makes a purchase at half past 3 and
stipulates that it must be delivered at
!, she is apt to get her way, because
the countess is a bewitching young
persuader, with a pair of extremely
bright eyes and a versatile tongue.
She is quite the breeziest little titled
parsonage in diplomatic Washington.

Five Per Cent Error Cost ST., 900.

Engineering Review.
The greatness Of little things finds
frequent illustration in railroad oper-
alton A case has just been discovered
whre, nine years ago, an error of five
cents was made in the computation of
rate sheet between two given points.
1t was found upon investigation that
as result of this error the two rail-
roads operating between the two
points have lost upward Of $4,000 in
that time. This shows why railroads
are so strenuously opposed to what
are considered inconsequental reduc-
tions in rates. The business in ques-
ton was simply the passenger traffic
between Dallas, Texas, and small
town located few miles away. 1t
is the multiplication of the little
things that so seriously affects rail-
way rvenues. The loss of faction
of cent a hundred pounds on some
commodies means thousands, if not
millions, difference between profit and
loss. 1t is only by the most Jealous
care that railroads are enabled to
maintain their revenues on a paying
basis, and it is for this reason that the
value of little things is so we'll under
stood by railway officials generally.

CABINET ON THE STUMP.
Opening the Campaign for Roosevelt
The Large Cities the Field Of
Activity.

4 dispatch from Washington to the
News and Courier states that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet officers, who
are popular orators, have already be-
gun to circulate extensively in the
business centers to spread political
doctrine as it will be taught in the
coming campaign. Those familiar
with national politics are we'll aware
that the battle of 1904 is to be fought
in the large cities, and there Mr..
Roosevelt will win or lose an election
to the presidency during the next
seven months. The only slump in the
republican vote at the congressional
election of 1902 was in the big cities
and some of the influences that were
at work in such sections then are at
work now.
The president is by no means
green hand at politics, and while it
has been semi-of6cially announced
that he will not himself speak much
from now till after election. his cabi-
net officers have become very busy in
speaking. There are only two Of
these now specially engaged in dis
sen1inating the faith-Secretary of
Treasury Shaw and Secretary of War
Taft. The latter has not gone out of
Washington yet to talk and all of his
addresses thus far have only been OF
semi political nature. But none the
less they are Strengthening for the ad
ministration and in the course of the
next two months Judge Taft is sched-
uied to make more than a dozen
speeches IN as many cities.
Secretary Shaw is everywhere talk
ing politics straight from the shoulA
der, as his address some weeks ago at
Providence, R. l.. demonstrated. He
is the best stumper in the cabinet and
now has scores of invitations on his
desk in the treasury department. A
good many OF these invitations he has
already accepted. He will be on the
political circuit large portion of the
time in the next FIVE or six months,
intoxicating the administrations
views as to the different questions and
thus correcting early and before the
neat of the campaign is on ideas that
democrats may attempt to dissent
nate.
Secretary Moody has already done
little political speaking, but chiefly
in Massachusetts. He is very con-
vinc;ne speaker and will go out on
the hustings more as the summer ad-
vances. A little later Secretary Will
son will begin making addresses to
the farmers, calculated to help along
the republican cause in communities
where talking will do the most good
for the party.

NOT ASKING SYMPATHY.
Pierre Wants the Taxpayers to Consult
their Own interests

Pierre Wants the Taxpayers to Consult
their Own Interests
The Mitchell Republican com
ments as follows with reference to
the capital campaign:
''The matter of sympathy will
not cut the figure in the vote as it
was expected to do earlier in the
campaign. 1t is not a matter of
sympathy. Losing the capital will
not injurc Pierre. The growth
and development of town is due
to its citizens entirely, and if
Pierre wants to grow her business
men can make it,"
Pierre has not asked anybody's
''sympathy." But Pierre has ask
ed the people of South Dakota to
consider their own interests, even
though these happen to be likewise
the interest of Pierre.
OF course, merely losing the
capital would not injme Pierre"
If the capital were all that is at
issue in this campaign. Pierre
was brisk sort of burg before
she had the capital. But it would
injure Pierre to have the people of
this state render a verdict of guilty
under Mitchell's outrageous indict-
ment of the whole splendid country
west and north of Pierre.
Even this, however. wouldn't
necessarily be q matter of great
general concern, if Pierre's inter
ests were all that are involved.
But it is matter of great gen
eral concern of the whole state
when such verdict of guilty
would rob the state treasury OF
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in taxes by keeping a great area
off the assessment rolls for many
years; and it is matter of great
general concern when such ver-
dict would deprive the state of
millions of dollars, by impeachine
its own millions of acres, granted
it for endowment of it's public
institutions.
''The growth and development
of a town" is not educ to it's citi-
zens entirely" as the Mitchell
Republican asserts. 1t is due to
the reputation of the country
surrounding it.
Mitchell has been Systematically ly
knocking the country surrounding
Pierre, e,-maligning it's reputation
and thereby wormeating not only
the progress and prosperity Of the
town. but also the revenues of the
entire state.
Pierre is not looking for "sym.
pathy." If she were, she knows
where she always could find it-in
the dictionary. But she is looking
for manifestation of good, hard.
common business sense ON the part
of the voters of South Dakota, and
rchske to the Mitchell conspiracy
which is befouling the reputation
of the entire state.
