A GALA DAY FOR
COMMERCIAL MEN
ANNUAL PICNIC AT TIVOLI A
TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS,
Local Council of U. G. T. Delight
fully Entertain Brethren From
GAINESVILLE and Fort Atkinson
Visitors Reached Here About |
O'clock. Bower City Wins.

Saturday was certainly gala day
for the members of the local council
of the U. c. T., their guests and
friends. At 10 O'Clock in the fore
noon, the members assembled at the
office of Ex- Mayor Wertheimer at the
corner Of Main and Fourth streets,
each member being arrayed in his
best bib and tucker and wearing a
white cap and a pleasant smile, in
anticipation of a good time that
awaited them at Tivoli island. The
procession being formed under the
direction of the Marshal of the Day
and headed by Thacker's band march
ed west on Main street to the North
western depot, making very fine
appearance with their badges and
flags. Upon the arrival of the train
the visiting brethren fell in with the
members of the local council and the
visiting ladies and Children were es-
corted to carriages which had been
provided for their conveyance to the
island, for the commercial travelling
men never forget anything for the
comfort of the ladies and children.
The column then took up it's march
eastward to the island picking up
Mayor Mulberger who walked at the
head of the column beside the Marshal
Of the Day, wearing the badge of the
organization and looking as if he be-
longed to it and had but recently booked
an order for a large bill of goods.
Upon reaching the island refreshments
were served which was opportune,
for all had keen appetites, especially
the fat members and there were not
few of them in the bunch. After
the good things disposed of, Mayor
Mulberger delivered an address of
welcome and told the Knights of the
Grip and their friends to have a
good time and they proceeded to do SO
and did not fail. One of the features
of the enjoyment of the afternoon was
a game of baseball on the N. w. U.
campus between Watertown and James
vile fans, the latter winning by a
score of Is to 1 and it is probable that
the one was mistake. One of the
pleasant features of the procession
was the presence of two little tots, a
boy and girl, carrying flags at the head
of the column on either side of the
Marshal of the Day; they were certain
ly happy children.
AS was said in the Leader yesterday
morning, the members of the U. C..
7. are excellent men and a credit to
the localities in which they reside,
was generous and public spirited and
know how to enjoy themselves.

visit, on the charge Of forgery. John
ston has been around the city for
the last couple of days under the
pretense that he was taking orders for
the Chicago concern. Last night he
appeared at the west side saloon of
Schott brothers and presented a check
for the amount of S.. 90 drawn on the
Drew Carrier Manufacturing company
of this city. The presenter of the
check claimed that the check was re-
ceived in payment for clothing pur-
chased from the Chicago concern. The
fact that Johnston was considerably
under the influence of liquor and his
general appearance caused Reinhold
Schott to become a little suspicious,
so he telephone over to is brother Otto
at east side saloon to ascertain if the
fellow had been there. Otto informed
his brother that the fellow had been
there only few minutes before and
had presented a check for larger
amount, but Otto refused to cash it
and put the fellow off by telling him
that he had banked most of the money
and had noting on hand but silver,
which he could not spare. When Otto
received the word from his brother he
Immediately began an investigation
with the result that Chief Block was
notified and a search was at once in
stituted with the result that the fell
low was soon located and placed
under arrest and escorted to the city
hall. The suspicion that the checks
were forgery became more firm afer
the presentation of the second one,
as it did not seem probable that the
Drew concern would issue two checks
for the payment of clothing, also that
such payment would call for a check
issued in the firm name. When
placed under arrest, Johnston offered
some resistance, which was overcome
easily by Chief Blocks brother, who
is an officer on the Milwaukee force,
and who gave the fellow a gentle
reminder that he was up against the
strong arm of the law, by punch were
it was very effective and to which the
fellow objected very strenuously.
Later in the night it was learned that
Johnston presented a check at the j.
M. Malloy saloon for something over
SIT. 90, which he got cashed, and which
is probably the same check he had
presented at the Otto Schott sal Don
on the east side. 1t seems that the
fellow paid back the money which he
had secured on the check which Mr..
Malloy cashed. The man arrested
was not locked in cell at the Jail,
for the reason that the officers wanted
to be tain that they had sufficient
evidence. Johnston maintained
strongly that the transactions were
legitimate.
Word reached the Leader that John
ston was released at 80 o'clock this
morning.

The gentlemen came from very
prominent southern family residing in
Tennessee, where the two Watertown

of 'ennessee. The uncle, who was
defeated for election removed to Flor
ida. Later, he returned to his native
state and was elected to the U. S.
senate, in which he is now serving.
The senator is prominent parsonage

lecture platform, where he gained
considerable fame.
The young Mr.. Taylor, engaged in
the land business, is handling lands in
Oklahoma and Texas. The gentlemen
came here from Milwaukee,, where
they had been for some time and
where they interested number of
the monied men, including Chas.
Pfister, the Pabsts, DR.. Book and
Judge Neelan, all of whom will &C
company them on a trip later to the
southwest country upon invitation of
Mr.. Taylor to look country over, the
gentleman feeling that their obser-
vations will not only interest them,
but will afford the best of references.
In all probability one or two Water

from the north on the tour Of observa-
ton. The party will be made up of
the most prominent business men,
whose references, when they return,
will carry weight.

REV. J. KL|NGMANN
FOR PRESIDENCY
Placed in Line at Meeting
OF Wisconsin Synod
Second ViCe-PreS.

At a recent meeting of the Wiscon-
sin Synod of the Lutheran church held
at Milwaukee, the new office of second
vice president was created. The
place was filled in the selection of
Rev. Julius Klingmann, pastor of St.
Mark Lutheran church in this city.
The new office created puts the rever-
end gentleman in line for the presi-
dency. The president and vice-presi-
dent of the Synod are elderly gentle
men and one of them very feeble.
Rev. Klingmann was elected for the
term of one year but the probabilities
are that at the expiration of that time
he will be honored by being advanced
to the presidency.

Violate Stallion Law.

A report was brought to the city
yesterday that there are violations of
the stallion license law at Pipersville
and Hubbleton. The gentlemen who
reported the matter made request
of a certain citizen to make COM
plant. The citizen informed them
that he had troubles enough of his
own and referred them to the district
attorney. The law, like many others
on the statutes, is fool law, but as
it is there, it should be enforced and
all treated alike, so the cases report
ed should be investigated.

French For Congress.
Leader Herald).

While the Leader Herald admits that
there are some very able men in the re-
publican ranks aspiring for congress
sional honors, men who when they Sc
cured the necessary experience would
be valuable representatives of their
state in the lower house of congress,
yet we believe it would be very grave
mistake TO make sny change at this
time. Congressman French has done
uobly and accomplished much good,
and the acquaintance and experience
he has now gained will enable him TO
accomplish much more next term. The
changing congressman when a good
man is at the helm Mr.. French is a
faithful, conscientious worker, brill
liant speaker and very great credit to
the state, 1t is well known fact that
new man is unable to accomplish any
thing in congress for several years. Let
us keep MIR. French there as it is ne
cessary while our irrigation work is 60
ing on that Idaho's interests be well
looked after in Washington for the next
few years.

The Battle Soon To BE On

Within the first ten days of
next month the lines of battle
will be drawn between the two
great parties in this state. The
republican convention to be held
in POcatello next week to be fol-
lowed by the democratic conven-
tion at Couer d'Alene City week
later will determine the issues,
and the candidates. At Pocatello
the leading question will be, shall
the convention nominate can
didate for u. S. Senator? Several
prominent men are candidates
for the place but all but one of
them-Mr. Borah-are anxious
that the convention shalln not en-
dorse any candidate, but let the
choice be made by the legislature
without any instructions, each of
the other aspirants for the posi-
tion feeling that he would have
little or no show in the conven-
tion, but would stand some show
in the legislative scramble. 1t
now looks as if Mr.. Borah had
won or is sure of winning the first
heat and that the convention will
nominate. The next question in
point of interest will be the NOM
ination of Il candidate for COVER
nor. The feeling In this matter
is intense. A most bitter fight is
being made for and against the
present incumbent of that Office,
and what the result will be re-
mains to be told.
There are three prominent as
pirants for the nomination for
congressman. The present in
cumbent has as rivals for the po-
sition Col. Thomas r. Hamar of
Fremont and DIR. B. L. Steves
OF Washington. All three of them
are capable men.
The minor state offices all have
plenty of men wanting the nomi-
nations for them.
Affairs are notin the same con-
dition in the democratic party.
There Senator Dubois, the most
adroit politician in Idaho, will
dominate everything, formulate
the platform, fix the issues and
name nearly every candidate.
