Charles F, Pfister, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent citi-
zens of Milwaukee, and who was wide
ly known as politician, was indicted
by the grand jury of Milwaukee
county, charged with stealing $4,000
belonging to the Wisconsin Rendering
company of this city. AT the same
time indictments were returned
against four others, the charge of
bribery being alleged in three OF the
indictments and one of perjury. The
indictment of Pfister caused a pro-
found sensation. He is engaged in
many of the biggest enterprises Of
Milwaukee. He is director of one
of the leading banks, owns large in
terest in big tannery, is proprietor
of a large hotel and owns one of the
leading newspapers OF the city. He
has perhaps done as much or more
than any other citizen of Milwaukee in
building up the city. Pfster was the
first one arrested, after which the
others were served with papers. The
list Of persons for whom capiases were
issued and the charges, is as follows:
Charles F. Pfister, capitalist, one in
dictment, larceny. John F. Dittmars,
ex-supervisor, one indictment, bribery.
George F. Reichert, supervisor, one in
dictment, embacting fourteen counts,

District Attorney Jerome of New
York received a number of letters
from voters saying that they would
be glad to sign a petition to nominate
him for reelection as district attor-
ney. Others called on him, pledging
their support. Mr.. Jerome was pleased
with the expressions of good will
with which his announcement as an
independent candidate was taken. He
added to his formal declaration, made
Monday, that it is against his prin-
ciples to accept nomination from a
political machine to which he would
be subservient in the administration
of his office or to the dictates of any
political leader. Jerome took another
whack at the bosses of the political
machines. On this point he said: 81
myself am small factor in the sit
uation as compared to the principal
issue involved. It is big thing to
break down the evil solidarity of the
political machines and go over the
heads of groups of men, who control
these machines or the bosses, di-
rectly to the people. In my mind
this is an appropriate time to make
the test. In advocating this prin-
Qjple hope to create discussion all
over the country, especially in local
political affairs. What want to bring
out is whether the people are political
ly free or subservient to one man
power. But whether / am successful
or not it will not shake my faith in
the principal. However, think this
is an Upportune time, as there is a
feeling of unrest throughout the
country"

was highly appreciated and one oya-

Mr.. Rice gave as his opening num-
Der Hamlets SoliloQuy, and his i'm
personation of the famous lines from
Shakespeare was almost perfect. In
response to the encore he gave a
highly ridiculous burlesque on del
sarte. Many thought his second num-

les discovered this. they refused to
pay the full amount of the insur-

equally divided to Charles Swaney
and to his mother. When it was
found out by one of the city attor-

in an insurance draft, Judge Marsh
who was custodian of the funds. was
garnisheed for the amount of the in
debtedness owed by him to b. T. Ma

the latter was in business in this

Judge Marsh was compelled to obey
the mandate of the law and had no
power in the matter at all. He was
endeavoring to explain the situation
when the assault was made.

the matter is very generally com

"CONnIoN LABOR"

BY DIR. e. f. ELDRIDGE.
The above is common statement,
But has 1t crossed your mind
That he who tolls in common
Is the savior of mankind?
That the man who turns the furrow
Or shapes the glowing steel,
Is the man who builds our nation
Who labors for our veal?
The most degradingt?) labor,
(Thank God there's no such thing
For honest. faithful efforts
Can only upward spring.
Is n thousand times more worthy
Than a life of useless ease,
For Nature needs no laggards
To detile the passing breeze.
Only the man who labors.
Or lessons the toiler's load
BY cheering him on his journey
Or smoothing his rugged road.
Is worthy of being Landed,
Or loved by the human race.
And 10 live above such labor
Is TO sink to foul disgrace,
There is no common labor
It is all of the royal kind,
BE it done by turgged muscle
Or by keen and active mind,
Building our mighty structures
Or singing a joyous song:
Labor is moving our nation
Pushing the world along.
