STREET FAIR BLOCKED.
After Committee Completes Arrange
nents Citizens of Hudson Protest.

ments Citizens of Hudson Protest.
Mayor Francis Mcguire, Dr. L. p.
Mayer and Editor Mayer, three
of Hudson's best known citizens, who
constitute street carnival committee,
are hHVlng an interesting time of it
these days, being placed, so to speak,
between two fires, either of which
threatens to scorch them.
Some time ago a number of citizens
met to consider the question of hold.
ing a street carnival at Hudson, and
the above named men were selected
as an executive committee, with pow
er to contract with carnival compa-
ny to show here. The committee had
considerable difficulty in making favor
but succeeded recently in getting q
satisfactory contract with the Cash
company of st. Paul. Bills advertising
a street carnival from Sept. Is to Sept.
% were posted few days ago, and
the work Of preparing for the event
went smoothly on.
But trouble of a most serious nature
arose. A large percentage of the peo-
pie began protesting, and the opposi-
ton to the carnival enterprise put in
it's appearance before the city council
The Rev. G. T. Burnley, pastor of the
Hudson Presbyterian church, declared
that If the aldermen did not prohibit
the use of the streets for carnival pur-
poses he would exercise his right as
citizen under the charter of the city
and the state laws to prevent the hold
ing OF the carnival by suing out writ
of injunction. He said the carnival
would have a demoralizing influence
upon the young people of the city. and
he, for one, would invoke the law to
prevent it's coming.
Prof. D. L. Hennessey, superintend-
ent Of the city schools, addressed the
council on behalf of the schools. He
asserted that the holding of carnival
next week would tend to undo the
work of organization effected in the
schools by the teachers the first two
weeks and would mean the loss of sew
eral weeks time. He opposed the car
niYal vigorously.
H. J. Anderson, president of the An
derson Lumber company, spoke
against holding a carnival from q
business standpoint, and James A. An
drews opposed it on moral grounds.
Mayor Mcguire replied on behalf of
the carnival committee and himself
by denying that there was any inten-
ton to demoralize the young or inter
fere with the schools, saying that the
promoters of the carnival were actu-
ated by the best motives-the well
fare of the city. He also held that the
objection to the carnival should have
asserted itself sooner, and said that
after the committee had already sign
ed a contract with the Cash company
it would be impossible to back out
without mourning the risk of a damage
suit. DR.. Mayer of the committee also
spoke along the same line.
The council took no action in the
matter. Meanwhile both sides are pre-
pairing to meet the issue.-W.

BRIGHTER SIDE OF RUSSIA.
Decent Amusement Is Provided for the
WorkLnqmen.

Decent Amusement Is Provided for the
Workinqmen.
Aside from it's working hours, Russia
rises superior to her neighbors in pro-
viding decent amusement for the i'm
mepse laboring class whose meager
earnings forbid them the amusements
of the prosperous, says the Craftsman.
Nearly every Russian city has min
iature Coney Island supported by the
state OF municipalities, the prevailing
admission fees being from half a cent
upward. st. Petersburg has the finest
and cheapest popular theater in Eu-
rope. Where racial and religious
considerations are not involved, the
Russian laws are superior to those of
many European countries. For Ordi-
nary murders, capital punishment is
never inflicted, while the illegitimacy
statute, amended three years ago, is
the most liberal on earth, completely
annulling the social stigma and other
obstacles which usually attend this
misfortune, which in the case of chill
dren is nothing more. Unfortunate is
the word invariably employed to de-
scribe criminals and convicts.

A SAILOR ON SEA PICTURES.
A Few Criticisms on Alleged Marine
Paintings.

A Few Criticisms on Alleged Marine
Paintings.
"I'N take a sailor along with me the
next time I buy sea painting" said
a millionaire. II bought two marines
hast month, and yesterday my old
friend, Capt. SalthoRse, had look at
them.
''Salthorse said:
Elm this picture we've got q trad
ing schooner in charge of tug tow
ing away from a rock-bound coast
through fearful jumbo of sea. The
scho0ner's main topmast is gone, and
all sails are lowered except her stay
sail, which is being hoisted, though
she is towing hard on the gale. Why
that hoisted staysail? All hands, /
suppose, are drunk.
"'In the second picture continued
Capt. Salthorse, the principal boat, an
1S-footer, is racing, yet has no flag fly
ing. That's as incorrect as it would
be for you to go to a dinner party
minus a shirt. The crew of this boat
are getting in the spinnaker, and, il
they lower away, both spinnaker and
boom will be in the water, for they
have neglected to let the boom go for
ward. But | know what the trouble Is
with them. They, too, are drunk.

OLD CAPITOL MAY BE RESCUED.
First Capitol at Belmont, Now Used as
Cow Stable, to Be Bought.

First Capitol at Belmont, Now Used as
Cow Stable, to Be Bought.
Stirred by the words of Jenkin
Lloyd Jones Of Chicago, regarding the
condition of the first state capitol
building of Wisconsin at Belmont,
which Is being used for a COW stable,
the state historical society will soon
take action looking toward it's Dreser-
vation Many of the members did not
know of the old building or it's condi-
ton until it was brought to their at
tGntion.
w w. Wight, president of the Wis
consin State Historical society, said:
"The organization certainly will take
some action in the matter at its next
meeting, which will be held at Madi-
son next month. The matter is of the
utmost Importance and it is strange
that it should have escaped our atten-
ton so long. There are a great many
objections that will come up in re-
gard to the purchase of this building
and its site. If we should purchase 1t
and fix it up in shape the state would
have to pay the expenses of keeping
it that way. 1t could not be moved
to another location as it would thus
lose it's historic interest.
II have received many telephone
messages from members of the society
and from people interested in the
work, who asked what we intended to
do in the matter.
ut is too valuable as a historical
relic to remain as home for COVE
and hogs. You can say for me that
some action will be taken at the next
meeting of the society, but until that
time cannot speak authoritatively on
the subject. I intend to consult with
other members of the society regard,
Ing what we should do"
The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, in a
speech at PlatteviIle, Wis, scored
those people who have allowed the
old building at Belmont to fall into de
cay.

WHITE MARBLE FOR CAPITOL.
Commission Will Probably So Decide
on Exterior Material.


on Exterior Material.
Georgia white marble will probably
DE used as the exterior material for
the new state capitol. This is the
preference of George B. Post of New
York, the architect.
The capitol Improvement commits
sion held sessions recently and finally
decided to defer it's final decision until
Chairman A o. Ingram was present.
The Minnesota state capitol has white
marble as it's exterior. The Wisconsin
commission is considering the use OF
three materials for the exterior Of the
building, Georgia white marble, Bed
ford stone and Wisconsin white gran
tie. The marble and granite, it is esti-
mated, will cost about the same, $500
per square foot, while the Bedford
stone will cost about 81 per square
foot
Architect Post was at the conference
with the commission, as was also Gov.
Davidson. Some notifications in the
plans for the interior were agreed on,
but they were not radical.
The commissioners said that the
work of construction would be vigor-
ously pushed and that the foundation
for the west wing of the building
would probably be laid before winter
set in.
